Secret: Who are the two women who made Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

(6 years ago-February, 57), Zi Shuwen was born in Wanxian County at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Born in Southampton County, Western Han Dynasty, he was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu. From 25 to 57 AD, he reigned for 33 years and was called Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu is one of the few dedicated emperors in China history. He is a good man worthy of a woman's lifelong trust. The most important women in his life are Yin Lihua and Guo Shengkun. It can be said that without these two women, there would be no glory of Liu Xiu's life. They are the two most important women in Liu Xiusheng's life.

A wife laid Liu Xiu's great ambition. Yin Lihua, the first important woman of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, a new barbarian in Nanyang, Liu Xiu's wife and the second queen. Yin Lihua, after Guan Zhong, a famous Qi-phase in the Spring and Autumn Period, was famous for her beauty in history. Historically, when Liu Xiu was still in the decline of the royal family, she was very envious of Yin Lihua's beauty and could not help sighing that "marrying a wife deserved Yin Lihua". After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, Yin Lihua became his favorite concubine and was favored by Emperor Guangwu. In the seventeenth year of Jianwu, that is, the fifth year after the extermination of the heroes and the unification of the world, Yin was posthumously made a queen. In the seventh year of Yongping, Yin Lihua died and reigned for twenty-four years. He was buried with Liu Xiu in the original mausoleum. History: When Empress Yin was in power, she was dignified and virtuous, did not like joking, and had the beauty of a mother instrument. The empress is a generation of sages, who is respectful and frugal at home, and restrains the clan outside.

Liu Xiu is the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. His father Liu Qin and his mother Fan Xian both gave birth to him in 6 BC. That year, the income of any one in Fiona Fang Baili was not as good as that of the Liu family, and there was a phenomenon of "nine ears" in Liu family fields. Liu Qin liked Liu Xiu, who was born at this time, and excitedly named him "Xiu", which means that crops produce good ears.

Liu Xiu's family is one of the best in the local area. Anyway, my father is a county magistrate and my mother is the daughter of a local rich man. My father and mother have a good relationship, so when I was a teenager, Liu Xiu didn't worry about food and clothes, and she also had new clothes and lucky money for the New Year.

Liu Xiu's sister Liu Yuan married Chen Deng. The Deng family and the Yin family have certain in-laws, so they often walk around. Liu Xiu stayed at her sister's house after her study tour. Because of their common interests, Liu Xiu and her brother-in-law became best friends. Yin Lihua is Liu Xiu's hometown. At that time, Yin Lihua was the most beautiful woman in Liu Xiu's hometown. Everyone has a love of beauty, and Liu Xiu can't avoid it. Liu Xiu met Yin Lihua through his brother-in-law.

Young Liu Xiu fell in love with Yin Lihua at first sight. At that time, Liu Xiu, who was still a civilian, had two major goals in life: "Being an official as a golden boy and marrying a wife as a Yin Lihua."

At that time, the Han Dynasty had experienced 12 emperors, totaling 2 13 years, and there were many descendants of the emperors. What's more, at that time, Wang Mang had usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Liu's descendants were killed. Liu Xiu's family has long lost its aristocratic status, and the financial resources and prestige of Liu's family in the village are far less than Yin's. Although Liu Xiu is familiar with Yin Lihua's beauty and wants to marry her, it is still a very slim thing to really marry her.

Liu Xiu started his army after careful consideration and decision. At that time, the world was really chaotic. Liu Xiu played the banner of "the grandson of Liu Bang IX" and established his invincible "outlaw hero".

That is, in 23 AD, Liu Xuan, the imperial clan of the Western Han Dynasty, was proclaimed emperor by the main generals of outlaw heroes, thus establishing a "new stove", and the restoration emperor in history was Liu Xuan. In this regard, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Liu clan in Nanyang, but he had to give up temporarily because of the large number of greenwood soldiers and the strong enemy ahead. Ada was named the great Stuart, while Liu Xiu was named the too ordinary general. The establishment of the new regime and the reuse of the banner of the Han Dynasty greatly shook the new house, and Wang Mang immediately sent a lot of people.

Wang Yi and King Da Situ found a total of 420,000 elite soldiers from various counties and counties to pounce on Kunyang and Wancheng in an attempt to destroy the new regime.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Xin Mang's 400,000 troops were defeated. At that time, Liu Xiu and the generals of the outlaw hero were determined to fight to the death. They were unstoppable. That's why they were able to defeat more powerful enemies with fewer at the gates of Kunyang.

The main force of the new dynasty, known as the million-strong army, fell at the gates of Kunyang, and the three assistants were shaken, and the new headstrong regime collapsed. In September of the first year of restarting, the outlaw hero invaded Chang 'an, Wang Mang died in a scuffle, and the new dynasty collapsed.

Liu Xiuze, who made great contributions in the battle of Kunyang, went south to attack the city. At this time, a bad news came that his brother Fu was killed by the fresh emperor. Liu Xiu's brother Ada was killed by the new emperor, which was undoubtedly a great blow to Liu Xiu. However, Liu Xiu can endure his sadness and become more humble. His sadness is invisible, which shows that Liu Xiu hides his strength and endures his burden. In order to avoid the suspicion of the former emperor, he hurried back to Wancheng to apologize to Liu Xuan, and did not have personal contact with his eldest brother Ada. Although Liu Xiu did Kunyang's work first, he did not show Kunyang's work and said that his brother was guilty and he was at fault. He was killed again because Ada refused to obey the imperial power. He was ashamed to see Liu Xiu so humble. After all, Liu Xiu's two brothers made great contributions, so Liu Xiu was not found guilty, but had to be named Wu Xinhou.

At this moment, Yin Shi, who has been fighting beside Liu Xiu, saw Liu Xiu's great future and persuaded his family to marry his sister Yin Lihua as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. Liu Xiu married Yin Lihua, the daughter of the upstart he longed for for many years, in Wancheng.

In the year when Liu Xiu married Yin Lihua, Liu Xuan also established a base area in Luoyang, and his political marriage made the Eastern Han Dynasty a founding dynasty. The second important woman of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was Guo Shengkun. Queen Guo is a native of Calm County and has five sons. Gong Donghai Qiang Ji 'nan Wang An Liu Kang Wang Fuling Ada Zhongshan Wang Jian Yan Liu.

Queen Guo Shengtong's family is a noble family in a county. My father, Guo Chang, was praised by Chinese people for making Tian Zhai's property a million-dollar property of his half-brother, and became a county official. His mother Liu is the daughter of the real king of the Western Han Dynasty (the grandson of Jingdi VII).

Soon after Liu Xuan made Luoyang his capital, all walks of life joined forces to establish their own kingdom, and no one bought his account. At that time, Liu Xiu's men began to persuade him to start his own business, and Liu Xiu was full of pride. Although he didn't make it clear that he would leave Xuanhan, he had decided to do so in his heart, just waiting for the right time.

But at this time, a bad news came. A fortune teller named Wang Lang claimed that he was a true royal descendant and the son of Liu Ao, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He sat on the golden throne in Handan, Hebei Province and established his own central government.

Wang Lang said that his original name was Liu Zixing. In order to avoid the poisoning of Zhao's sisters, he was taken to the folk by the palace maid and became a fortune teller.

The problem is that people north of the Yellow River believe in this * * *, but they don't believe in Liu Xuan's * * *. Counties all over the country are scrambling to get rid of Xuanhan * * * and have taken refuge in Handan * * *.

Two tigers are not allowed in one mountain. When Wang Lang became emperor, he immediately ordered the arrest of Liu Xiu and offered a reward of100000 Marquis. It is not difficult to see Liu Xiu's prestige at that time.

Nevertheless, Liu Xiu is still weak and unable to compete with the powerful Handan. He fled from Zhao County, Hebei Province to Ji County, Hebei Province, where he faced three choices: either to fight Wang Lang to the end, but with the help of new political forces; Either surrender; Either flee back to Luoyang and let Liu Xuan send a stronger repressive army.

The conditions for Liu Xiu to choose an alliance with Liu Yang are: to be his nephew's son-in-law, and to marry his niece Guo Shengkun to Liu Xiu.

Guo Shengkun's background is much larger than that of Yin Lihua. Just because her uncle is Liu Yang can completely overwhelm Yin Lihua. Her uncle can give Liu Xiu100,000 troops, and it is estimated that the entire Yin Lihua family can't get a single soldier.

Guo Shengkun's father is a good man. He gave millions of inheritance rights to his half-brother, and won the support and respect of the people. Guo Shengkun's mother, Liu Yang's sister, named, was the daughter of the real king at that time. Guo Shengkun also has a brother named Guo Kuang. Both brother and sister depend on their uncle Liu Yang.

Guo Shengkun is beautiful and intelligent and deeply loved by Liu Yang. She is treated as her own daughter. That's not true. When Liu Xiu sent messengers to negotiate with him, he saw that Liu Xiufei was an idle man-not everyone could be wanted with a reward of 100,000 yuan in Handan-so he planned to marry his niece to Liu Xiu. Liu Yang's purpose is obvious, a lose-lose, a glory.

A sudden political marriage came into being. Liu Yang chose an auspicious day and married a niece. In the second year of a fresh start, in AD 24, Liu Xiu conquered Wang Lang and married Guo Shengtong.

It can be said that half of Liu Xiu's country belongs to Guo Shengkun. This is because political marriage has brought great political benefits to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu's army and Liu Yang's army have joined forces, and the Handan Legion is no match at all, so it soon surrendered.

In 25 AD, Liu Xiu established his own political power in Baixiang, Hebei Province, which was called the Eastern Han Dynasty in history. Liu Xiucheng became the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 26 AD, Liu Xiu made Luoyang its capital, a bustling and dreamlike city.

After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, two important women in his life became aristocrats. In the first year of Jianwu (AD 25), Guo Shengtong gave birth to Qiang. In June of the following year, Guo Guiren became the queen and the Crown Prince of Wei Liu.

Soon, it was decided that Wang Liuyang (Uncle Guo Shengkun) rebelled and was killed. Queen Guo gradually fell out of favor. In October of the seventeenth year of Jianwu (AD 4 1 year), Emperor Guangwu abandoned Guo and became the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, and his second son was King Zhongshan. In June of 19th year (AD 43), the eldest son was abolished and became the king of the East China Sea. In the twentieth year (AD 44), Liu Fu, the king of Zhongshan, was renamed as "Queen Pei".
