Yongzheng: Although Emperor Guangwu abolished the title of queen of the Guo family, he did not kill the concubines and abolished princes who fell out of favor with his own hands like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did with Li Ji, but chose to treat Guo Shengtong with courtesy.

Liu Rushi: To be honest, I really envy Miss Zhang's era, men and women are equal, women can also be noble, and they are all fighting against Liu Xiu, what is this in ancient times? Isn't it just a woman? How can it be compared to the throne of the emperor? You see, this history is always unfair to women!

Although the love story of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua is considered by the world to be a model of imperial dedication, Liu Xiu's "dedication" hurt another woman, Guo Shengtong, and even a little bit of revenge, why don't you dare to say this?

You don't want to marry! Do you Guangwu Emperor dare? Don't you dare? That man has no ambitions? The opportunities are in front of him! How did a word of kindness erase his throne?

Does he dare not be kind? Killed his wife who could be crowned emperor? Ha ha! Then I don't think any minister will be loyal to this Guangwu Emperor!

Shangguan Wan'er: Well said! From Han Gaozu to Empress Lu, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Chen Ajiao, and then from Emperor Guangwu to Empress Guo, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty really used Liangbo to the extreme, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the scum is a matter of course!

Wu Zetian: What is this? As long as you can ascend to the throne? As long as she can control the power, what is a woman? Isn't it, everyone?

Eldest Sun Wuji: It's useless for you to mock? This is the reality, you really shouldn't let a woman become the emperor!

Li Qingzhao: That's right! The eldest grandson is so powerful, why was he hurt by a woman? You can't! What about reality? Don't let others have their own ideas? The love of children is not as good as that of the family and the country, but we also look down on the man who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge after relying on a woman to take the position!

When he Liu Xiu was young, he did have the dream of "marrying a wife to be Yin Lihua", so when he had a little achievement, he married Yin Lihua. ”

"But at that time, the world was not peaceful, Liu Xiu still had to fight, and he had to separate from Yin Lihua."

"It is said that Yin Lihua has helped Liu Xiu a lot, so I want to ask for help? Just talking? ”

"Yin Lihua's family is powerful, do you still need to stay in your hometown? Does Liu Xiu still use Hebei to do recruitment work? ”

"In this place in Hebei, Liu Xiu encountered a hurdle and was besieged by the local separatist force Wang Lang, and at this critical juncture, Guo Shengtong's uncle Liu Yang appeared."

"Without Liu Yang, would he Liu Xiu die in Hebei?"

"The answer is yes, isn't it?"

"At that time, Liu Yang, who had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, had just surrendered to Wang Lang, and if Liu Xiu wanted to get out of trouble, Liu Yang was a good breakthrough, so he sent his henchman Liu Zhi to be a lobbyist, and successfully persuaded Liu Yang."

"But Liu Yang put forward a condition, that is, Liu Xiu must marry his niece Guo Shengtong, Liu Xiu has no choice but to choose to marry Guo Shengtong."

"It can be said that Liu Yang is Liu Xiu's life-saving benefactor, don't blame Liu Yang for rebelling later, so he will take revenge, and he won't take Guo Shengtong seriously when he gets power? You Liu Xiu, haven't you been playing tricks on people! ”

"On the day the two got married, Guo's dowry not only had rich gold and silver, but also 100,000 elite soldiers, and it was by relying on these horses brought by Guo's that Liu Xiucai had the confidence to speak in troubled times, and as he won more and more battles in the future, his fame became bigger and bigger."

"Since then, Liu Xiu's life has been like a hanging, rising step by step, not only is the team getting bigger and bigger, but Guo also gave birth to five children for him, reaching the pinnacle of life!"

"No one forced him to marry, it was he Liu Xiu who didn't have a choice, and besides, Liu Yang and you didn't know each other at the beginning, you want someone to help, how can you help you in vain, it's really ridiculous, the world that you get by others, where did you get the face to say that you treated Guo Shengtong well, shouldn't this be?"

"After Liu Xiu founded the country, he naturally needed to be crowned queen, which made it difficult for Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua is the original match, and she is beautiful and has a good personality, she is Liu Xiu's favorite person, and although Guo Shengtong is not as beautiful as Yin Lihua, she has followed Liu Xiu to the north and south for many years, and has also given birth to five children, Liu Xiu also has feelings for her."

"I just want to say that you, Emperor Guangwu, know that Guo Shengtong has accompanied you to the north and south, and also helped you get the world, what do you have to consider, who is the queen?"

"Didn't you men say that rights are more important than women? So what's going on with this Liu Xiu? Just after the founding of the country, I thought about Liyin Lihua as the queen? After you set up Yin Lihua, will you live? When you have this idea, don't blame Liu Yang for opposing you! ”

"According to Liu Xiu's original intention, he naturally wanted to establish Yin Lihua as the queen, but in order to appease the forces of the Hebei faction, Liu Xiu finally chose Guo Shengtong as the queen."

"However, the combination of Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong is a political marriage after all, and the establishment of Guo Shengtong as the queen is also out of interest considerations, and Liu Xiu still loves Yin Lihua."

In the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu issued an edict to abolish the queen on the grounds of Guo Hou's "stubborn resentment" and "Lu Huo's wind", and at the same time, Liyin Lihua was the queen. ”

"You listen carefully to the reasons for the abolition, the virtuous queen of the family was smeared by their own men, it is not ridiculous, a woman who accompanied you in the southern and northern wars and helped you ascend to the throne, was deposed by you, was smeared by you, and finally said "treat kindly", and smeared his kindness! ”

"Guo Shengtong was not wrong, but he was abolished for no reason, shouldn't Liu Xiu's heart feel guilty?"

"Therefore, Liu Xiu later named Guo Shengtong's son Liu Fu as the king of Zhongshan, named her the queen mother of Zhongshan, assigned Changshan County to Zhongshan Kingdom, and supported Guo with two counties, isn't it Liu Xiu's conscience is disturbed?"

Guo Shengtong also became the third woman in the history of the Han Dynasty to be crowned the "Queen Mother" without the emperor dying. ”

Li Shimin: We don't want to speak, we can't say anything? Treating Empress Guo like this is indeed revenge, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, of course, we also understand Liu Xiu, this may be a common problem of men, he is the emperor, how can he let his beloved woman be wronged, in the final analysis, Emperor Guangwu does not love Guo Shengtong, isn't it?

Kangxi: You women all say that this is a reality, what else is there to quarrel about! Reality is reality, it is not your ideal!

Liu Bowen: After all, the love of children is not something we have to distinguish, no matter how this is a stain on Emperor Guangwu, we still have to pay attention to policy issues, and it is also true that "there is nothing to do" in terms of governance, but it is only a good handling of personnel, and Emperor Guangwu is still afraid that the power will fall into the hands of others, resulting in the failure to create a good system.
