The story of Dou Yifang Emperor Wen of Han's interpretation of her emotional authenticity
Empress Dowager Dou, also known as Dou Yifang, was undoubtedly a person with a heroic temperament in the Western Han Dynasty, but her life was not all smooth sailing. If you have to find a few flaws in her life, it is the blindness and the failure of her second son Liu Wu to become emperor.
Speaking of the origin of Dou Yifang, the reason why he served Lv Hou in the palace as a good family cockfighter, known as Dou Ji, and later in order to control the Liu Han clan, Lv Hou assigned five concubines from each prince and king to serve the king, and Dou Ji was also among them.
His hometown was in Qinghe County, which was relatively close to Zhao, so he asked the eunuch in charge of the matter to give his name to Zhao. The eunuch agreed at first, but it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, and finally Dou Jiande's name was given to Daizhou.
Dou Ji didn't want to go to Dai Guo and blamed his eunuchs, but he didn't know that his life had changed drastically because he went to Dai Guo. After arriving in Dai, Dou Ji was favored by Liu Heng, the king of Dai, and soon gave birth to her eldest daughter Liu Juan, and then gave birth to two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Wu.
In addition to the queen of acting, the most popular is Dou Ji. This is not the life that Dou Ji has in mind, but more unexpected things will happen in the future. In 180 BC, Empress Lü died, and soon after, the Zhulu Rebellion broke out.
Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Liu Han and other tribes joined forces to eradicate all members of the Lü family, including their married women, and even Liu Ying's son, Emperor Hui of Han, was killed because he was believed to be the son of the Lü family and had been replaced by Empress Lü.
Later, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, and other important ** in the court, after careful consideration, decided to accept Liu Heng, the acting king, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This was a turning point in the fate of Liu Heng and Dou Ji. Liu Heng successfully entered Beijing to claim the emperor, and Dou Ji soon became the queen, many people may ask, what about the acting queen?
The Book of Han says:"Queen Dai had four sons, and before King Dai ascended the throne, the queen was dead; King Dai ascended the throne, and the four sons born to the queen died of illness. "
In other words, Empress Dai and her first four sons died around the time Liu Heng ascended the throne. As for how they died, this was not common in the Western Han Dynasty, and no one can determine the cause of their death, but many people tend to believe that the cause of their death is likely that Empress Dai was a woman of the Lu family and therefore became a victim.
In any case, after the death of the queen and the four sons of the acting king, Dou Ji Liu Heng easily became the queen, and his son Liu Qi became the crown prince.
Speaking of this matter, I believe many people will feel that Dou Yifang has the aura of a hero, has a good background, and there is almost no obstacle for her to become the queen of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Heng's Virgin Empress Dowager Bo is a good wife, so Queen Dou's life is very comfortable.
But life can't really be smooth sailing, for example, Queen Dou, who has a smooth journey and is unique, also encountered a bad thing, that is, blindness, Queen Dou suffered from a serious illness and has been blind in both eyes since then.
One of the *** of her blindness is that she fell out of favor with Liu Heng, so Empress Dou may not have lost her sight yet - after all, the emperor's love is the most cruel.
The emperor's favor can be said to be dispensable, after all, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and if people want him to marry a few wives, of course he will not pay for it, but it will not be too much, even if he is the kind of loving and affectionate emperor, he is not inclined to move only for one wife.
Liu Heng is no exception. At first, Liu Heng liked Empress Dou, because she was beautiful, kind, gentle, and empathetic, Liu Heng fell in love with her, but as time went by, Liu Heng became the emperor, and there were more and more concubines, and Liu Heng's love was also divided by several concubines.
Dou Huang is no exception, especially after he lost his sight, Liu Heng favored him even less, during this period, Liu Heng's favorite was Miss Shen, Liu Heng even let Miss Shen and Dou Huang sit on the same sofa several times, he really picked up Miss Shen and slapped Dou Huang in the face, Dou Huang had to swallow his anger.
Once, Liu Heng took his concubines and ministers to Shanglin Yuan to hunt, and Lang Zhong put the seats of Mrs. Shen and Queen Dou next to each other, Yuan Ang couldn't see it, so he pulled Mrs. Shen's seat back, so angry that Mrs. Shen refused to sit, Liu Heng saw this, and was so angry that he immediately returned to the palace.
Yuan Ang followed closely and said to Liu Heng:"The minister heard that there is an order of respect and humility, then the upper and lower are harmonious, and now His Majesty has set up a queen, and Mrs. Shen is a concubine, how can a concubine sit next to the master! The order of respect and humility should be lost. Your Majesty is favored, so there is a generous gift. Your Majesty is Mrs. Shen, so it's a disaster. Your Majesty did not see it'Human'Is it? "
This is to remind Liu Hengrong of his humiliation, because he remembered that Empress Lu had turned Mrs. Qi into a ** for a year. This time Liu Heng frowned and bent his waist, it can be seen from this incident that Liu Heng is much better to Mrs. Shen than Queen Dou, otherwise he would not have let this concept of respect and inferiority happen.
Although Empress Dou no longer favors Liu Heng, her status is of course much better than that of Empress Lu. Because her son Liu Ruyi wanted to be the crown prince, Mrs. Qi did not instigate Liu Bang to abolish the crown prince, but Liu Bang repeatedly wanted to abolish Liu Ying's crown prince.
In the end, it was Lu Pheasant who invited Shangshan Sihao to dispel Liu Bang's idea of getting rid of the prince. So Lu Pheasant hated Mrs. Qi to the core.
On the other hand, Empress Dou and Mrs. Shen, although Mrs. Shen is also favored, she has no son, so she only asks Liu Heng for favor, Liu Qi has no obstacles in the position of the crown prince, which is also a blessing for Empress Dou, because her son Liu Qi can sit firmly on the throne and take over the emperor's position after Liu Heng's death. At the same time, the queen also became a widow and continued to take care of the harem.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou did not have a good relationship with Liu Qi, she doted on her youngest son Liu Wu, and even wanted Liu Wu to inherit Liu Qi's position, but some courtiers prevented her from doing so, and Liu Qi eventually became suspicious of his younger brother Liu Wu and did not allow him to stay in the capital, so much so that he died shortly after returning to the fiefdom.
So Empress Dowager Dou hated Liu Qi, and even said:"The emperor killed my son! "The relationship between mother and son was unprecedentedly tense, and after the death of Emperor Jing, Empress Dowager Dou became the empress dowager and led the government until her death.
We saw Dou Yifang's life, really, the protagonist's halo is added, from Dou Ji to the queen, from the queen to the queen mother, from the queen mother to Dou Yifang, almost effortlessly.
Of course, the person who can stay in the harem for so long must be a thoughtful and wise person, it can be said that Dou Ji was lucky and was favored by the goddess of luck at that time, because she became the concubine of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, and because of her beauty and wisdom, she became Liu Heng's favorite woman, and since then she has sat on the throne of the queen.
Empress Dou Yifang rose in the harem with her own wisdom, although she was blind, she was still in charge of the harem, and later became the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and managed the palace until her death, when Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, really took over the government.
