Empress Liu was more harmful than da ji in the later Tang Dynasty?

Liu, the queen of Li in the later Tang Dynasty, turned out to be a common people. How did ordinary people become queens, and how did they do more harm than da ji? We have to start from the beginning. Liu was born in Cheng 'an, Weizhou (now Cheng 'an, Hebei). Liu was poor when he was young. My mother died young, and my father, Mr. Liu, made a living by treating people and telling fortune. At that time, the world was in chaos, and Liu, who was five or six years old, was taken away by the army. When Li Keyong (the father of Li) led the troops, he was a distribution officer. Seeing that Liu Yingjun was clever and naive, he took her back and gave her to Cao Shi, the concubine of Li Keyong, the king of Jin, as a little maid. Mrs. Cao looked at Liu as cute, coaxed her to play and gave her delicious food and clothes. At first, Xiao Liu was still thinking about his unfortunate and separated father. After a long time, people here are familiar with it, and life is richer than at home. She gradually forgot her hometown and adapted to life in Wang Fu. Mrs Cao is taught to sing, dance and play. The little girl is clever, and soon she can sing and dance well, which is deeply loved by Mrs. Cao. This Mrs. Cao is Li's biological mother. She is modest and knows right from wrong. She is a kind and generous woman. Her husband Keyong Li has a bad temper and is extremely strict with his subordinates. His temper does not listen to anyone, but to Mrs. Cao. Mrs Cao gave birth to Li, and her son was outstanding in appearance, excellent in image and dashing, which delighted Li Keyong. Li Keke's family is a famous charity family. Everyone knows Mrs. Cao's virtue. Li is also very filial. Children are their own hobbies. Mrs. Cao loves her son very much and is happy for Liu's cleverness and looks. After Liu Chengnian, she naturally thought of handing Liu over to Li's side to serve. In this way, Mrs. Cao was relieved when Liu waited on her son. On one occasion, Li went to meet his mother, and Mrs. Cao specially asked Liu to dress up and was entertained by blowing sheng. Later, Wei Liu and her son performed a song and dance. Li was proficient in temperament since he was a child, and he was overjoyed to listen to Liu Youyang's euphemistic music. He also saw Liu's charm and charm, and he was fascinated by it. When Mrs Cao saw this, be in heaven decided on the spot to betroth Liu to her son as a concubine. Li thanked her mother and chose a good day for the wedding. Soon, Liu was named Mrs. Wei. Before and after the late Tang Dynasty in Li Jianli, there were already two wives, Han and Yi. Han is the first princess and Yi is the second princess. After Liu got married, he didn't want to compete for the position of primary and secondary at first, but he was very satisfied with Li's favor. Later, Wei Liu Li Sheng gave birth to a son, and her thoughts changed greatly. She gradually has a strong desire to be a queen. But she knew that she was from a humble background and could not compare with the other two noble families. Just as Liu was worried about his birth, his father, Mr. Liu, rushed to Li's house to recognize his daughter, hoping to enjoy the splendor from now on, but the result was a disaster. Li heard that someone claimed to be Liu's biological father, so he let him into the palace. In order to identify the true and false, he sent someone to find the distribution school that saved Liu Yi's life and let him identify it. Li is a dutiful son. I want to recognize this long-lost father-in-law after confirmation, and I want to find Liu's biological father. This is a good thing to do good. After recognizing it, he said to Li, "Your Majesty, this man is indeed the father of Mrs. Liu whom I met that year." Li was very happy after hearing this, and quickly sent someone to report the good news to Mrs. Liu. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu lost his temper: "I probably remember it when I left home. I clearly remember that my father was killed by the mutinous soldiers. I was still crying with my body in my arms. Where did an old farmer dare to pretend to be my father now? It must be unruly people who come to blackmail and earn wealth. Your Majesty, do you still remember the tall girl who pretended to be Queen Shen in the Great Period? This person must be the same as Gao! " So Mr Head was beaten up at the gate of Li's palace. Later, Liu secretly sent a confidant to find his father and sent gold and jewels to explain his daughter's difficulties. The position of Queen Wei Liu worked hard. She knew that the establishment of a queen was an important event of the imperial court, and she wanted to win the support of the powerful minister, so she privately sent her confidants to woo the Prime Minister Dou Luge and the Tang Dynasty envoy Guo Chongtao, who was in charge of military affairs. Bean Ruger is flexible and good at have it both ways. He has long been eager to curry favor with Li's favorite Liu. When he saw that Liu sent someone to ask for help, he readily agreed and was willing to draw a prison for Liu's accession to the throne. However, Guo Chongtao is a little honest and frank. At first, he didn't want to support Liu as the queen, and his views were clear and his position was firm. However, Guo Chongtao hated the eunuchs in power at that time, and he often showed disrespect for eunuchs in his speech, which caused dissatisfaction and harm to eunuchs. Li also gradually became suspicious of him, and his words revealed some clues. Guo Chongtao uneasy heart, also looking for a good way to eliminate disasters. One of his subordinates is good at guessing. Seeing that Liu took the initiative to send someone to contact him, he said to Guo Chongtao, "Your Majesty loves Liu the most, and it is only a matter of time before you establish a queen. Adults might as well ask your Majesty to establish the Queen of Wei Liu Palace first. Your majesty will be grateful to you, and Empress Liu will remember your kindness. With the support of Empress Liu, eunuchs will never harm you again. " Guo Chongtao listened to his men's advice, and the next day he joined with Douluge and other ministers to play Li, asking Liu to be the queen. Li Daxi made Wei Liu Queen, Bill Han Imperial concubine and Iraq Princess. Liu is cunning and good at observing Li's mind, but she is also fierce and jealous. Li loves and fears her. Once upon a time, there was a concubine. Li loved her very much and gave birth to children for her. Empress Liu is worried that it will affect her position. Once, Li gave a banquet in the palace, and his favorite minister, Yuan Xingqin (also a capitulator of the Back Beam), also attended. When Li learned that his wife had just died, he casually said that he would help him marry another one. Queen Liu immediately called his concubine and said, "Since the emperor has pity on Yuan Xingqin, why not give her to him?" Before Li made a statement, Queen Liu asked Yuan Xingqin to bow and thank Li. Then, the concubine was immediately sent to Yuan Hangqin's palace. After Liu was made queen, he regarded power as a tool to seek personal interests. Empress Liu is notoriously greedy and stingy. The tax should have gone to the state treasury, but she divided it into two parts, half into the internal treasury and the other half into the harem. Because of Li Liannian's campaign, the army was huge, consumed too much, and the treasury was empty, but the property of the harem piled up like a mountain, but it was not used. Empress Liu is not satisfied with the countless treasures she has in the treasury. In order to get more and more direct income, she also sent people to do business and sell goods to profit from it, becoming the queen of unscrupulous businessmen, which is extremely rare in history. In order to sell more goods, Liu sells dried and fresh fruits under his own name. With a greedy queen, there will be officials who are good at collecting money. A man named Kong Qian, in order to plunder the wealth of the people as much as possible, bypassed the buffer region under the banner of reform and directly ordered the counties to pay taxes. Even the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees cancelled by Li Ming's order have been restored. With Kong Qian's example, other officials followed suit, increasing exploitation layer by layer, leading to people in exile and soldiers starving and freezing. Empress Liu was not only greedy for money and chaotic country, but also directly intervened in state affairs and killed ministers. When Li listened to rumors and sent someone to investigate Guo Chongtao, he gave the emissary a right to kill her and easily destroyed the pillars of the country. The army is short of money to the point of withholding food. Because there was no food, the foot soldiers even sold their wives and children. Many people dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and often starve to death halfway. The perverse actions of Liu and Li eventually led to a crisis, army mutiny and Li's death. Queen Liu took the treasure, burned the palace and ran away. On the way to escape, she had an affair with her younger brother Li Cunxu and asked Li for protection. No wonder later generations lamented that Queen Liu was more harmful than da ji.
