About Chapter 36 Story Synopsis: After Murong Ke's death, the former Yan Emperor Murong Wei took back the power of the court with the support of his mother Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun, Emperor Murong Wei neglected political affairs, and the power of the former Yan Dynasty was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Ke Zuihun Murong Chui, who had been recommended by Murong Ke and had a high prestige, because his wife Duan was angry with the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun, and he was jealous of the emperor and was placed under house arrest, and his wife Duan was also persecuted to death. At this time, Huan Wen, who held the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, saw the opportunity to send troops to the Northern Expedition again, and the government and the opposition of the former Yan Empire were shaken, but the Empress Dowager Zuhun and her son Murong Wei faced the menacing Northern Expeditionary Army, and they made one after another tricks, promising to cut the land for help from the former Qin Empire on the one hand, and planning to move the capital to Longcheng on the other hand, and the former Yan Empire was in danger.

In this story, Murong Chui's wife Duan was persecuted to death by the Ke Zuhun clan, which was a matter during the reign of the former Yan Emperor Murong Jun, and I moved the flowers and grafted it to place it during the reign of Murong Wei, in order to show that the prestige of Murong Chui was much feared by the rulers of the former Yan, and similarly, the hard-working Murong Ke was also feared by the rulers of the former Yan, but when the ruler was young, he had to reuse Murong Ke to maintain the stability of the country, but when the ruler was a little older, under the great opportunity of Murong Ke's death, The ruler must take back the power of the court and do everything he can to suppress the young and virtuous Murong Chui.

But Murong Wei, the ruler of the former Yan Empire, is really a dou who can't be supported, and the power of the court is still in the hands of his mother Ke Zu Hun, but it is a pity that the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun was born from a humble background, and has a beautiful skin, and there are only some intrigue tricks in the harem in her heart, and she has no talent for governing the country at all. gave the Eastern Jin Dynasty clans who wanted to rely on the Northern Expedition to gain fame and gain fame a chance to send troops.

We have also said before that the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was more of a political speculation by the family members who controlled the court in order to win the fame of the family, and it was impossible to succeed, so Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was bound to fail. Even at that time, people of insight asserted that Huan Wen's Northern Expedition would definitely fail, and the ridiculous thing is that as the ruler of the former Yan Empire, Emperor Murong Wei and the actual ruler of the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun did not have any political vision at all, and they were frightened by Huan Wen's advance, one was busy moving the capital, and the other was busy cutting land for help. If it is the former Qin Empire to enter the Kanto region, it is understandable to make this plan, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty controlled by the family is extremely unstable, as long as the former Yan Empire maintains a military defensive position, after a long time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty army will definitely return in vain, but the Empress Dowager and her son do this, it is really a big joke in the world, and it is strange that such an empire does not die. Here, we listen to the government through the curtain of the Empress Dowager, and talk about the things that the Empress Dowager did in history.

Since ancient times, there are many women who have been involved in politics as the queen mother, but there are very few famous ones, the earliest should be the end of the Warring States Period, the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin State Miyue, the history books record its deeds are relatively few, but after the death of King Wu of Qin, in the battle of the kings of the Qin State, he helped his son Yingji win, Yingji was young, Miyue ruled the country, thwarted the attempt of King Wuling of Zhao to destroy his relatives during the reign period, and led the Qin State to destroy the Yiqu State established by the nomads, and relieved the worries of the Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms, as a woman can make such a military action, can be said to be a heroine among women. A few years ago, because of the hit of the TV series Miyuechuan, people were familiar with this history, in the later years of Miyue, his son Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji reused the Wei people Fan Ju, and took back the power of the court, and Miyue also returned to the harem until he died of illness.

The second Qin Dynasty of the unified world died, and the Western Han Dynasty that had just been established appeared after the death of the founding emperor Liu Bang, mainly because the successor of the Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying was cowardly by nature, and his mother Lu Pheasant was ambitious and strong by nature, and the Empress Dowager Lu was in power, although she suppressed the royal family and the nobles, and reused her relatives, but she governed the country with the art of Huang Lao, attached importance to the people's livelihood, encouraged production, and pro-Xiongnu, so that the newly established Western Han Dynasty smoothly passed the initial period of contradictions, and laid the foundation for the later rule of Wenjing, As a female politician, Lu Pheasant deserves her name.

In the middle and late stages of the Western Han Dynasty, because the rulers saw the disadvantages of the aristocratic landlord class and began to pay attention to the cultivation of political forces of their relatives, the power of the Queen Mother was strengthened, but although the Queen Mother in this period had power, her personal ability was average, and she did not do anything earth-shattering, but some of them caused a lot of trouble to the rulers, for example, the Empress Dowager Dou, the mother of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, favored her youngest son Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and insisted on letting Liu Qi establish Liu Wu as the prince, which caused a political turmoil. Han Cheng Emperor Liu Biao's mother, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun, for the sake of family interests and even conspired with his nephew Wang Mang, taking advantage of Liu Biao's illness to seize the power of the court, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, asked Wang Zhengjun for the jade seal of the country, Wang Zhengjun regretted not at the beginning, and had to angrily throw the jade seal of the country to the ground, causing the jade seal of the country to break a corner, and soon he died of anger.

In fact, it can be seen from the story of Wang Zhengjun that the queen mother, as a royal woman, although they continue to help their family to seek benefits, but they have married into the royal family, that is, royal people, when someone threatens the imperial power, they also have to find ways to help their husband's family.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, because there was a precedent of usurping the throne by relatives, although the ruler maintained the imperial power through the three political forces of eunuchs, scholars, and relatives, but for relatives should be in a state of vigilance, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the particularly famous Queen Mother basically did not, maybe the Empress He of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could be a little famous, and it all relied on the wide spread of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to let people know that there was a Empress Dowager He in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but within a few months of her ascending to the throne of the Empress Dowager, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and she and her son Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, were abolished. Immediately afterwards, the war years of the Three Kingdoms period were the era of men's wars, and women played a small role, so it was difficult for women to participate in politics during this period, and there were almost no queen mothers.

In the Western Jin Dynasty ended the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, in its short reign, although there was no queen mother in power, but the queen Jia Nanfeng of Emperor Sima Zhen of the Jin Hui Emperor was also a woman who presided over the government, but she was killed before she became the queen mother, and the life span of the Western Jin Dynasty also began to count down.

The subsequent period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south was in the hands of the family, the emperor had no power, and the Queen Mother could not have any rights.

In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty family and the Hanmen Shu clan fought to the death, there was no soil for women to be in power, and the nomads who opened the Northern Dynasty produced a great female politician, reformer, that is, the Northern Wei Dynasty's civilization Empress Dowager Feng, after the death of her husband Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jun, the Empress Dowager Feng eliminated the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, grasped the political power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and carried out a series of reforms in the court, stabilized the social environment at that time, and made the Northern Wei Dynasty to its peak, and the Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor who raised it was deeply influenced by the Empress Dowager Feng, Emperor Xiaowen's Sinicization reform of the Northern Wei Dynasty basically came from the thoughts of Empress Dowager Feng, so Empress Dowager Feng's merits far exceeded that of many emperors and generals.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the landlord class of the Shu nationality became the ruling class of the feudal dynasty, and the rulers of each dynasty spared no effort to strengthen the centralization of power, and it was extremely taboo for the harem to interfere in politics, so in the feudal dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties, women's power was greatly restricted, and the situation of the queen mother holding power was very rare, and there were very few women who could break through the shackles, but they could break through, which also showed that the woman had strong political ability, so there were also two very famous queen women in this period. One is Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in the history of our country. The other is the Empress Dowager Cixi, who controlled the political situation in modern China.

Wu Zetian is the queen of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the mother of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian and Tang Ruizong Li Dan, Wu Zetian's story is well-known, and his ability to govern the country is impeccable, but as the founder of the Wu Zhou regime, in his later years, Wu Zetian had to admit that he was a woman, a woman of the Li Tang royal family, and had to give up the throne and sit back to the position of the queen mother, which is also the sorrow of Wu Zetian and the sorrow of all women in feudal society.

Empress Dowager Cixi took advantage of Emperor Xianfeng's illness to die in Chengde Summer Resort, and Prince Yixin launched a coup d'état to control the Qing Dynasty, in the period when it controlled the fate of China, the European powers at that time continued to encroach on Chinese territory, the Empress Dowager Cixi could not change the law to try to be strong, but blindly flattered the European powers, and finally buried the nearly 300-year-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty with her own hands, although when it was in power, the transition period from formal feudal society to the current society, in the face of the European powers that had completed the industrial revolution, It was difficult for backward feudal China to resist the invasion of foreign powers, but Cixi failed to learn from the pain, forge ahead, conform to the historical trend, take the initiative to carry out reforms, and seek the truth of saving the country and the people.

In the history of our country, the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the ancient ancestors did not pay attention to the education of women at all, and it is extremely difficult for women to become the queen mother, and there are very few people who can make the queen mother's political deeds, and the queen mother who has made great achievements in politics is even more few, in fact, the empress dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty can only be called a female politician, and the Empress Dowager Lu is only counted as having a certain political talent, and cannot be called a politician, and the Empress Dowager Cixi is at best a scheming woman.
