The live broadcast room of "Xiaoping and You Tell You History".

A woman was sitting upright, smiling at the camera and saying:

"Hello, everyone, I'm Xiaoping, some time ago, many fans have been calling on me to do a historical commentary video about the Shangzhen Qinghuang Guangwu Empress.

Since it is a request from fans, of course the anchor has to meet it, but the history of Empress Guangwu is too legendary, and there are many official histories and wild histories, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

So I spent a lot of time collecting and sorting out the information and making comparisons, which has been delayed until today.

But even then, I can't guarantee accuracy.

Some of the content is even my guess, so don't take it too seriously, after all, I'm not a professional.

It's better to listen to the story. ”

"Now back to the point.

I will first give you a rough talk about the life of the empress, and then pick some important events to focus on.

Empress Guangwu was born in the Lin family of Suzhou and Hangzhou, her father is Tanhualang Lin Ruhai, and her mother is Jia Min, the youngest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Daiyu has been quite miraculous since she was a child, and when she was five years old, the hundred-year-old pomegranate tree in her family became a spirit and accepted her as a disciple.

Whether it's true or not, let's not debate it for the time being.

But this is indeed recorded in the canonical history.

And there are many legends of the pomegranate god, let's take it seriously, so that we can continue to talk about it later.

Fifteen-year-old and the ceremony, the pomegranate god floated in, sent two gifts to Daiyu, it is said that one is called Langya Pavilion, containing thousands of books in the world, one is called the Heavenly Gate Orb, if there is a disaster of the sky overturning, you can use the blood of the descendants of the Lin family to open the Orb, to be sheltered.

It's hard to say whether it's true or not, after all, no one has seen it, but the people at that time should have believed this, in the words of the Beijing tabloids, from the prince to the son of the minister Xungui, but everyone who has the right age, they all try to pursue Daiyu, but Daiyu refuses one by one.

This is actually very contrary to the common sense of the time, generally speaking, women at that time paid attention to the orders of their parents, and the words of matchmakers, but regardless of the official history, it can be seen that Daiyu at that time seemed to have absolute marital autonomy, and her parents did not interfere, even the emperor did not interfere.

All the irrational phenomena are only that everyone is afraid of the pomegranate god, or that the pomegranate god is real, and Daiyu, who claims to be a disciple of the pomegranate god.

can have a certain degree of privilege.

In the next few years, there should be many people who have withdrawn from the pursuit of Daiyu, and there is only one person who has been from the beginning, that is the Nine Emperor Princes, Tu Huaixia, He persisted for nine years, and finally moved Lin Daiyu, got married, and only a year after the wedding, there was a crystallization of love, and at the same time he was promoted from the prince to the prince.

No matter how I look at the history books, I haven't seen anything special about this Nine Emperor Prince from some previous historical records, or what great contributions he has made, but he has indeed become the crown prince, and the officials have not objected too much.

At this time, it is still necessary to assume that the pomegranate god is true.

Then it seems much more reasonable.

A prince who marries the only disciple of the gods and ascends the throne as the emperor, he will inevitably be protected by the gods, as long as he is not a tyrant and a faint king, it is no problem to keep the success.

Therefore, he was appointed as the crown prince, and the officials did not object.

It seems to make a lot more sense.

But no matter whether the Nine Emperors' feelings for Daiyu are true or false, how much is true feelings, and how many are because they feel that if they marry Daiyu, he can be the prince, but at least he has fulfilled his promise, and he will be a couple for the rest of his life, whether he is a prince or ascended the throne as an emperor nine years later, until he died, he was only Daiyu alone, and there was never a record of thoughts such as taking concubines.

And they had six children.

It can also be seen that they are indeed in love with each other.

Tu Huaixia ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five, and Lin Daiyu became the queen this year, but before she became the queen, her reputation and deeds were already huge, so much that it was a little unimaginable, I will give you a little list.

When she became the queen, the annual income of the Lin firm had exceeded 30 million taels of silver, and the treasury income at that time was 40 million taels.

Lin's College was run by her at the age of 16, after Lin's firm began to make profits, it initially taught enlightenment and literacy, and later added some skills to teach, becoming the earliest vocational and technical school in history, and then successively added medicine, science and engineering, mechanical science and chemical engineering, etc., has been known as the world's first comprehensive university, the cradle of scientific and technological civilization.

It is said that the textbooks of the college are all provided by Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu has always denied that those books were written by her, only saying that her master gave them to her, which some people think is that she is modest, and some people think that this is true.

Becoming a queen is a watershed in Lin Daiyu's life, although she has done a lot of things before, but it is still relatively limited, at most, Lin's firm is more inclined to recruit female employees in many industries, and Lin's college allows women to enroll and so on.

The identity of the queen brought Lin Daiyu greater power, and she began to try to use her little power to change the identity and status of women in the world, for example, she began to build a factory that only recruited female workers.

Specialized women's colleges are opened.

She tried a lot more than that, but soon she realized that her power was not great enough, and the queen's privileges were not enough for her to stand up to secular society.

There are many things that even the queen can't do.

For example, the woman and the divorce, she personally intervened to help the woman and the woman, but was scolded by many officials for destroying family harmony, such as a certain family was eaten out of the household, she intervened, and asked the yamen to severely punish the impeachment of those who ate the house, and the harem interfered in politics.

She found that after she became the queen, she seemed to have more power, but the restraints were even more, and those ministers impeached her at every turn, and used them to bind her hands and feet.

Maybe it was from that time that Lin Daiyu first had an idea about imperial power, she didn't simply love power, she just wanted to use power to do what she wanted to do, and wanted to change the world after obtaining supreme power, breaking the rotten old social system.

Recreate the world she wants.

It can be seen from the history books that Lin Daiyu was very active in the first two years of becoming the queen, and then she fell silent, but a careful analysis of the identities and backgrounds of some officials in the court ten years later can be seen that many young officials are from the Lin Academy, Lin Daiyu did not do nothing, she just did things in the open, turned to do things in secret, and developed her own power. ”
