Chapter Eighty-Five: True Love?
Don't look at the fact that the son of the world once caused several little ladies to die after marrying him, so that he took on the label of a wife, and there are not many ladies who dare to experiment again and have been an old bachelor for a long time.
But if Eighteen Niang didn't die after the danger period this time, I am afraid that those people will have new ideas and feel that the people around Shizi are safe, and there will definitely be people who think about how to have a good relationship with Shizi.
And in many cases, what people love the most is marriage, of course, there is a sting, the wife of the prince is not able to do it by others, but it does not mean that other little ladies cannot have an intimate relationship with the son, in addition to the wife, there are also concubines.
Even once they have children, there will be people who want to pull the eighteenth mother down and let their family become the wife of the son, as long as there are enough benefits, anything can happen.
Ling Xiao felt a little headache when he thought of this scene, and felt that it was necessary to prepare early. It's not that Ling Xiao doesn't believe in this son, in many cases, some things will not be transferred by personal will, but because of the general trend, he has to do it.
This point has seen many events from the history books, and the obvious one is the alternation of the two queens before and after Emperor Guangwu, this decades-long event made Ling Xiao see the unshakable trend.
And this Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's life is quite magical, he didn't know that he could become an emperor at the beginning, his identity looks a little noble, with the blood of the Han Dynasty royal family, his ancestor is Liu Fa, the son of Han Gaozu.
It's just that after such a year has passed, Liu Xiu's family and the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty can only be regarded as distant relatives, and there is still a little weak blood tie, and even his father's biggest official position is a county magistrate.
In his early years, he was not too famous, he was still a farming expert, and his aspirations were not very high in his early years.
Zhi Jinwu was an official who specially led the forbidden troops to defend the capital and the palace city during the Qin and Han dynasties.
Zhi Jinwu didn't do it for various reasons, but another wish in his heart came true, and he married Yin Lihua. Therefore, people say that Yin Lihua is the white moonlight in his heart, and the relationship between the two is very good after they become husband and wife.
The Yin family is also a local wealthy family, and it is definitely not an ordinary person. Yin Lihua should be with her husband for the rest of her life after marriage, after all, her mother's family behind her is also powerful, belonging to some wealthy families, and even her brother later worked with Emperor Guangwu, and he can be regarded as a capable leader.
These should ensure that Yin Lihua's wife's throne is very stable, but this is not the case. Later, Yin Lihua, as Bai Yueguang's original partner, for the sake of Emperor Guangwu's future development, gave way to another woman, Guo Shengtong, and changed from a wife to a concubine.
And the reason why Yin Lihua will back down is the trend of the times and has to back down. Before she married Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu and her brother rebelled with Emperor Gengshi because they opposed Wang Mang's usurpation of power.
For a while, there was chaos everywhere, and the Green Forest Red Eyebrow Uprising was surging for a while, and during this time, Liu Xiu's brother was killed by Emperor Gengshi, Liu Xiu had to pretend that nothing happened, and even married Bai Yueguang Lihua during this period.
Later, he knew that he was still jealous of the First Emperor, and that he might be killed like his brother, and then he secretly interceded with someone, and was sent by the First Emperor to other places to open up the territory, and he didn't take many soldiers with him when he left.
I can't help but go, and if I don't go, I will die. But after arriving at the new territory, he doesn't have much armed force in his hands, how can he open up new territory? Is it possible to use your mouth to open your mouth cannon skill? After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xiu decided to prepare for marriage again.
In the end, the largest of the local forces was chosen, and the object of the marriage was Guo Shengtong, who represented a big force and was very useful for the future of Emperor Guangwu. If Emperor Guangwu marries Guo Shengtong, even if he does not necessarily get military power, he can at least take advantage of the situation, and there are many times when he can pretend to be powerful.
And because Liu Xiu just married Yin Lihua not long ago, it is said that the person who remarries can only be a concubine, but Guo Shengtong belongs to the kind of person whose mother's family is powerful, so it is naturally impossible to be a concubine.
Then Yin Lihua, whose family power is not very powerful, can only become a victim, and if she wants to continue her marriage, she can only take a step back, become a concubine, and give up her status as a wife.
Yin Lihua is burdened with the interests of the family, of course, it is impossible to leave Emperor Guangwu directly and marry someone else. You must know that her cousin felt from the bottom of his heart that Emperor Guangwu would definitely have a great future, and the Yin family would also have benefits.
If Yin Lihua is determined to marry someone else, it will be tantamount to causing a lot of contradictions between the Yin family and Emperor Guangwu, which may lead to a complete collapse of the Yin family in terms of political investment. So how is it possible for the patriarch of a family to support a cousin to marry someone else? It's impossible at first glance,
Yin Lihua probably has no chance to choose, and it is even possible that because of the unfavorable transportation, she thought that her husband might never come back, so she could only wait for news at home.
As for the men of the Yin family, they will probably know the news, and they can only acquiesce in the possibility of the Yin family banshee taking a step back, because it is impossible for them to support Yin Lihua to marry someone else, and they will definitely not get the support of their mother's family.
Although the Yin family is also a strong place with some ability, it is not to the extent of the family behind Guo Shengtong, the Guo family belongs to the big family in the county, and his mother is the daughter of King Gong of Calm.
In such a comparison, Yin Lihua's status is lower, and she can give Liu Xiu a lot less help, but can Yin Lihua sit on his wife's throne and not back down? No! Yin Lihua must back down, and Yin Lihua may not know about her husband marrying another wife.
But then I still knew, it was useless to know, Yin Lihua herself is also a very smart person, can she not figure out the reason? For the sake of the family, she can only let herself accept reality.
Later, when Emperor Guangwu conquered the world, she finally ascended the throne of the emperor and named Guo Shengtong the first queen, and she also gave birth to Emperor Guangwu's first son, and was soon named the crown prince.
As for Bai Yueguang's original match Yin Lihua, she can only be a nobleman, who made her the identity of a concubine at this moment. In this way, many years passed, and Guo Shengtong, who had been sitting firmly on the throne of the queen, was ousted from the throne by a holy decree of Emperor Guangwu.
So, why did Emperor Guangwu depose after many years? There are different opinions, and there is a reliable theory because the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty was originally built on the powerful in various places, which led to the political struggle of various powerful groups.
And because the Guo family has a queen, and Queen Guo gave birth to a total of five sons and one daughter, even the prince was born to her, which caused the Haoqiang related to the Guo family to be too inflated, and was noticed by the emperor and wanted to kill JI to show the monkey.
In the end, Emperor Guangwu abolished Guo Shengtong's position as queen on the grounds that she was not suitable to be the queen. Speaking of which, in the eyes of Emperor Guangwu, the safety of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the most important thing.
What is the situation after the abolition in history? Some of the circumstances are no longer known, because there are so many things that have disappeared into the long river of history that future generations can only speculate.
Some people say that they can read history books, but if the chroniclers of history books don't know the truth, won't everyone know what is going on? Judging from the history books, Emperor Guangwu once said that Guo Shengtong was jealous and unworthy of being the queen, but Guo Shengtong should not be so stupid for the next sixteen years, and it feels more of an excuse.
In addition to political factors that led to the abolition of the queen, there is also a legend between Emperor Guangwu and Yin Lihua, which belongs to the wild history, and it is a legend that seems to be sad and lingering, saying that the true love in the heart of Emperor Guangwu has always been Yin Lihua, and I feel a little sorry for the original match, and finally return the queen's throne to her.
Anyway, after Ling Xiao read this kind of legend, he felt that this statement was not very reliable, if he didn't read the history books, he only read any legends, or someone like that, maybe he would agree with this statement.
But she is different, after knowing the story, she checked the relevant history books, and knew that Emperor Guangwu may have regarded Yin Lihua as Bai Yueguang in his early years, and left those two eye-catching words, which gave him a wonderful legend between Yin Lihua.
But in fact, the two of them separated soon after marriage, and then Yin Lihua gave up his wife's position. Emperor Guangwu became the groom again, married Guo Shengtong, and the husband and wife were together for several years.
And the Guangwu Emperor in history is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and the husband and wife must have a certain relationship in a few years, you must know that Guo Shengtong gave birth to several children for Liu Xiu, and even the tenth son of the emperor was born to her.
And Yin Lihua gave birth to the child very late, and the eldest son she gave birth to is the fourth in Liu Xiu's sons, no matter how you look at it, Guo Shengtong is the true love of Emperor Guangwu.
Anyway, Ling Xiao didn't feel how affectionate Emperor Guangwu was for his original partner Yin Lihua, and he would give up the title of Yin Lihua's wife so easily after really loving him, but he felt very good to Guo Shengtong.
Don't look at Emperor Guangwu who abolished Guo Shengtong's position as queen, but he asked the second prince, that is, Yin Lihua's eldest son, to take good care of the children after the abolition, and they have been living well.
Guo Shengtong was even named the Queen Mother of Zhongshan later, and the Guo family has always been treated favorably by the emperor, although the position of the queen was abolished, Guo Shengtong is definitely much better than Chen Ajiao.
After reading the real history, every time Ling Xiao heard someone say that Emperor Guangwu's true love was Yin Lihua, he felt a little speechless, is this true love between Emperor Guangwu and Yin Lihua?
Ling Xiao definitely doesn't have that feeling of true love, this is because she knows that there is a real true love thing in history, and even the writer is shocked after reading it, this is real history? And not so-and-so true love?
The whole incident is really eye-opening, and most people don't dare to write about it. And this kind of male pig's feet that seem to be true love is the historical celebrity Long Keduo, and the true love in his heart is the concubine Si'er.
Long Keduo's true love is a woman snatched from his father-in-law, and the fourth son, a woman who has a relationship with his father-in-law, doesn't know what ecstasy he gave Long Keduo, and has been pampered by him for more than 30 years, and even his wife has no status in front of Si'er.
Don't say anything about the wife, even Long Keduo's mother has no problem with the four children. For the sake of Si'er, Long Keduo can be said to be a purpose: anyone who opposes him and Si'er must be a bad guy, and he must find a way to defeat him.
No matter how you look at it, I feel that Long Keduo is a male pig's foot of true love, and Si'er is the kind of female pig's foot who still gets the true love of the male pig's foot, and after watching it, I will only feel that this is true love.
If a man like Roncodo is bad and not worth advocating, then he will be compared with another person. In Ling Xiao's heart, there is another man who is much more true than Emperor Guangwu's so-called true love theory.
Because he is an emperor like Emperor Guangwu, with the same profession, he is completely comparable. Of course, because the two of them are emperors and are in the era of feudal dynasties, it is impossible to be monogamous to the end, and there are also people in the middle, which is the same for both of them, anyway, Liu Xiu also has a lot of concubines.
But their attitude towards whether the original partner can be the queen from the beginning is completely different, and the emperor who compares it with Emperor Guangwu is the famous Liu Aiji, the emperor who was born in prison, and almost the whole family died because his grandfather was the prince of the mother's womb.
Because he escaped temporarily in his mother's womb, he was finally born in prison, obviously he was a direct descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he went to the people and married Xu Pingjun.
Originally, he thought that his life could be dull like this, and he could grow old with his most beloved wife, but he didn't expect that one day he would become the emperor.
Then the husband and wife who originally seemed to be a good match suddenly became too different, Xu Pingjun's status was much lower, and at this moment, the wife of the powerful minister Huo Guang wanted to make her daughter the queen, so she naturally didn't want the original partner to enter the palace.
But Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was unwilling, he wanted to enter the palace by himself, and he said a paragraph to the ministers, and he came out with an idiom: Therefore, the sword is deep. After this conversation, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty finally brought the original match into the palace and made him the queen.
Emperor Xuan of Han thought that their family could live well in the palace, and his wife, Mu Yi, was the most noble woman in this dynasty, but he never thought that Empress Xu was poisoned by Mrs. Huo Guang because she was in the way of Huo Guang's youngest daughter.
After this time, Emperor Xuan of Han realized that he was unable to protect his beloved wife, because the power in his hands could not compete with Huo Guang, and he even had to make Huo Guang's daughter the queen.
But Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty never let this Empress Huo give birth to children, and finally kept a pair of children of Empress Xu. Look, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu are two men, both emperors, both of whom are monogamous and have multiple concubines.
Emperor Guangwu compared with Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and it felt a little wrong to say that Yin Lihua was true love, because his attitude towards Yin Lihua in her early years was not very good, her eldest son was only ranked fourth, and the child did not come early.
You must know that in the ancient social dynasties, how a woman looked at it was not favored, to a large extent, it depends on whether there are offspring, and how many children she can give birth to.
After the emperor's death, the emperor's women had a much better life if they had children, and some of the concubines who did not have children were monks and nuns, and some were martyred.
It can be seen that the statement that Yin Lihua is true love is not very reliable, and Emperor Guangwu was more concerned about Guo Shengtong in the early days. Later, Yin Lihua was indeed more favored, because she also gave birth to five sons.
