Yin Lihua's life can be described as happy, not only born beautiful and beautiful, but also an enviable love, which was deeply favored by Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu had
A sentence of name
Words: Shi Eunuch should be the one who holds the Kingo, and marry his wife as Yin Lihua.
It can be seen how heartwarming Yin Lihua is! Later generations also praised Yin Lihua, such as virtuousness and courtesy, so why do people have such a high evaluation of her? Is the real Yin Lihua consistent with the evaluation of future generations?

Yin Lihua was born into a famous family,
According to the Book of Later Han, it was first from Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong's seventh grandson Xiu, and qi Shi chu, who was a yin doctor, so he was a clan yan. There are more than seven hundred acres of land in the field, and the servants of the public horse are subordinate, which is better than the State Jun.
This passage tells us that Guan Zhong, the famous minister of state in the Spring and Autumn Period, was her ancestor, guan Zhong's seventh grandson, Guan Zhong, who was named Yin Dafu after fleeing from the State of Qi to the State of Chu, and since then changed his surname to "Yin", and when he developed into the Yin Lihua generation, he was already a famous and prestigious family on the rich side.
Yin Lihua was born beautiful, which made Liu Xiu fall in love with her at first sight. Liu Xiu once had the privilege of meeting in Shinno. It was also this side that made him unable to let go of this beauty in his heart, and secretly made up his mind not to marry her. Emperor Tian did not pay off, and with unremitting efforts, Liu Xiu finally married Yin Lihua.
However, at this time, Liu Xiu was still in the trough of his career, and his brother was killed by Liu Xuan, the first emperor, and Liu Xiu was devastated at this time. However, such a blow did not make him lose his morale. On the contrary, it inspired his fighting spirit, and chose to endure the humiliation for the time being and wait for the opportunity.

Yin Zhi was Yin Lihua's elder brother, and he valued Liu Xiu's talent very much, so he married his sister to him. In this regard, Liu Xiu was naturally overjoyed, and the beauty of her heart finally became her wife. And this is more of a comfort for Liu Xiu, who is in the trough period.
The fly in the ointment is that the newcomer's happy event has just been completed, and it is not long before Liu Xiu is assigned to Hebei to gather soldiers and horses. The newlyweds are about to leave soon, and the two naturally do not give up, but there is nothing they can do. What is even more tragic is that this separation has been several years, and it has been many years since the two met again.
By the time of the goodbye, Liu Xiu was already a successful career, and after several conquests and crusades, he had already pulled up a group of his own men and horses, and finally claimed the title of emperor in Hebei. However, in order to expand his power, he had to marry the daughter of Liu Yang, the King of Zhending, and the two had a son. However, this did not cut off his longing for Yin Lihua.

After he took Yin Lihua back to his side despite the objections of his courtiers, Liu Xiu's affection for her was as good as ever. In the second year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu wanted to make Yin Lihua empress.
"Elegant and generous, with the beauty of motherhood, want to revere the throne",
This is Liu Xiu's evaluation of Yin Lihua.
However, Yin Lihua always politely refused, and also proposed that Guo Shengtong should be made empress. Because Guo Shengtong's father's power was still very strong, Liu Xiu wanted to stabilize his throne, and he had to win over this group of people. Such a big heart is rare in the world, if you change to other women, you will quarrel over the matter of the future. But Yin Lihua was so virtuous and took the initiative to back down, and her approach was also extremely correct.
On the one hand, it shows the purity of the feelings of the two people, and on the other hand, it also has a major role in consolidating the new regime.
At that time, the new political power was not stable, and the forces of division in various places were still strong. Therefore, the daughter of the powerful Zhending King is a correct political choice. Moreover, although the Yin clan is rich, it is somewhat powerless in terms of political power. Therefore, at present, setting up Guo Shengtong as empress is the best move.

whereas
Yin Lihua
Do so
It only lost a name, but it brought a guarantee to Liu Xiu's regime, which showed her tolerance. Therefore, future generations have a very high evaluation of her, and it is not empty.
Although the identity is only a "noble person", Liu Xiu's love for her is more than that.
Whenever he went out to fight, Liu Xiu would take Yin Lihua with him. As we all know, military intelligence cannot be delayed. But in order to take yin Lihua into account, Liu Xiu did not hesitate to let the soldiers slow down the march. In the fourth year of Jianwu, Yin Lihua also had her own son, named Liu Yang.
Liu Xiu treated Yin Lihua meticulously and pampered her, and this sincere feeling was jealous of Empress Guo Shengtong and often complained. He even sent his anger to the palace maids or other concubines. This is in stark contrast to Yin Lihua's tolerant mind.
Before that, Liu Xiu originally had the intention of establishing Yin Lihua, but the conditions were not ripe at that time. Later, because of the incident, Liu Xiu once again had the idea of setting her up as the queen, and made up his mind. The cause was that the Yin family was stolen by thieves, and Yin Lihua's brother in the family died. This matter reached Liu Xiu's ears, not only anger, but also shame. The empress's throne should have belonged to Yin Lihua, so that the Yin family would also be blessed, and what would not happen today would happen.
There is a saying in the history of history: The noble man has the beauty of the mother's ceremony, because the fixed words are listed in the concubines, and the brothers have not reached the knighthood, and they have suffered misfortunes and are hurt in their arms.
Liu Xiu felt guilty in his heart and felt indebted to Yin Lihua, so he made up his mind to set her up as his queen.
In the 17th year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu launched an action to depose Guo Shengtong and make Yin Lihua empress. Later, Liu Xiu made Liu Yang crown prince and renamed him Liu Zhuang. However, for Guo Shengtong's mother and son, Liu Xiu still has residual feelings and does not force them to a dead end. Instead, she was given the title of Empress Dowager Zhongshan.

It is likely that this is also the credit of Yin Lihua's advice. You must know that Yin Lihua has a gentle heart, is humble and tolerant, and is already apologetic when she sits in the position of empress, so how can she let Liu Xiu kill her again? After becoming empress, Yin Lihua's temperament was still the same, and she did not become blind due to her high status.
"Do not like to laugh, be kind and filial, be more reserved", and be kind, this is the image of the mother of the country!
In addition, she also did a good job in restricting foreign relatives. Liu Xiu's throne can sit firmly, and it is indispensable to Yin Lihua's credit. Later, Liu Xiu wanted to add a fief to Yin Lihua's brother Yin Zhi, but was rejected by Yin Lihua.
"The courtiers are fortunate to be entrusted to the court, and reward Fengyan, such as Fujia Jueyi, can not show the world"
。
Yin Lihua took herself as an example and resolutely prevented the Yin family from interfering in the affairs of the dynasty because of her position as empress. With a wife like this, Liu Xiushi is very happy!
Yin Lihua is humble and does not show people as powerful people. The high praise of her in later generations is justified, not a fabrication. Its beauty is deeply loved by Emperor Liu Xiu, and he is not proud of his favor. Later, he took the lead in himself and did his best to assist Liu Xiu, who was a beauty and a caring person.
So Liu Xiu treated her, how could she be cold? Yin Lihua is not only an empress praised by everyone in history, but also a beautiful person with a virtuous appearance. Shi Eunuch should be the one who holds the Golden Wu, and the wife who marries the yin Lihua, Liu Xiu's words are not false, if you can marry this beautiful person, it is really a blessing in three lifetimes!
