In "Beauty and The Heart", Liu Ying was only emperor for a few years, and he was a puppet emperor.
Liu Heng, however, had been emperor for decades and had completely grasped real power.
Liu Ying had a son, but he died prematurely.
Liu Heng had a son and a grandson, and his son became emperor smoothly, and his grandson also became emperor smoothly.
Liu Ying finally died tragically under the enemy's sword, but Liu Heng naturally fell ill and died in the arms of his beloved.
In a secular sense, Liu Ying did not live as well as Liu Heng.
Liu Heng's life is more perfect and more successful.
Why is that? In addition to part of their own personality, the larger part is related to the women around them.
There is a good saying that behind a successful man, there must be a wise woman or even a group of wise women
So let's compare Liu Ying with the important women around Liu Heng.
First, their mother: Lü Hou and Bo Ji
Liu Ying's mother Lü Hou followed Liu Heng's mother Bo Ji.
Lü Hou and Bo Ji are both strong and ambitious.
But Lü Hou's strength is on the surface, and Bo Ji's strength is in the dark, which is even more silent.
The same is to cultivate a son, Lü Hou according to his own ideas everywhere to Liu Ying to make the decision, and there is no doubt.
But Bo Ji respected her son, although she would often arrange some tasks to exercise Liu Heng, such as letting Liu Heng run to the ice cellar to meditate.
But she would consult with Liu Heng when she encountered something.
Liu Heng did not do the right thing, she will guide it, rather than directly depriving Liu Heng of the opportunity to make a choice.
Both Lü Hou and Bo Ji had high expectations for their sons.
But when Lü Hou made ambitions for her son Liu Ying, he used negative thinking.
For example, she will say, you must be a good emperor and fight for the queen. If you don't do this emperor well, the fate of our mother and son will be very miserable.
Whoever is coveting our throne, how can we guard against it?
The more they worried about what would happen, the more they did, and in the end they did lose the throne.
And how Bo Ji gave Liu Heng ambitions, positive thinking positive guidance.
She said to Liu Heng that as long as we do a good job of ourselves, we will not worry about not getting the throne, and even if we exercise our bodies well, we can also survive them to death.
How confident, how determined.
Lü Hou was always worried that the throne would fall into the hands of others.
But Bo Ji was bound to the throne.
Two different minds have caused them to have different endings.
The mother's thinking has a great influence on the son's thinking.
Second, their wives: Zhang Yan and Dou Yifang
Liu Ying's wife Zhang Yan and Liu Heng's wife Dou Yifang
Zhang Yan didn't say anything, a little fart child, he didn't understand it himself, and he didn't know anything about the politics of the court.
You let her assist Liu Ying, it is impossible.
The other concubines are even more unlikely, they only know how to compete for favors.
But Liu Heng's wife, Dou Yifang, was very different.
She is intelligent and intelligent, full of military books, both politically minded and good at teaching her husbands and children.
She is both intelligent and courageous, and she is also good at judging the hour and sizing up the situation.
Liu Heng was able to sit on the throne, and her credit accounted for at least two-fifths, which should not be underestimated.
She even gave birth to a son and a daughter for Liu Heng.
Later, his son Liu Qi succeeded to the throne smoothly.
Thus
A wise and good woman can be a man of great power.
For men to succeed, women must find the right one.
Of course, men themselves must also have strength and vision.
Otherwise, a good woman appears in front of you, and you can't catch it.
