There is an old Chinese saying that behind the success of every man, there will be a woman who works hard and does not ask for anything in return. Among them, there is a typical example in our Chinese drama, that is, the story of Wang Baojun waiting for Xue Pinggui for eighteen years, Xue Pinggui went out for eighteen years in order to make meritorious achievements, Wang Baojun's family was very superior, but for Xue Pinggui, she was still willing to live in the cave herself, unwilling to let the family help her, waiting for Xue Pinggui for eighteen years, not only gave birth to a pair of children for him, but also raised that pair of children, cultivated very talented, but also will be very loyal to him, even if others have a heart of admiration for Wang Baojun, Wang Baojun also never turned a blind eye. Today Xiaobian wants to introduce to you, it is also a woman like Wang Baojun, this woman waits for her husband to fight, waiting for many years, she does not even know the current situation of her husband's life, do not know whether he is alive or dead, but her ending is very beautiful.
This woman was named Yin Lihua, and he was the original wife of Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guang. Yin Lihua, in fact, she is also from a family family, her ancestors once appeared to assist qi huan gong, and help qi huan gong dominate the spring and autumn guan zhong, although in later times, her family did not appear a high official position, but with the wealth and wisdom left by the ancestors, the Yin family is still relatively rich. At that time, before Liu Xiu became emperor, he was just a commoner, although he had the blood of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, but after hundreds of years, Liu Xiu was no different from ordinary people, compared with Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu appeared very mediocre, because after all, Liu Xiu did not have any talent and no wealth.
Liu Xiu's era was a very turbulent era, at that time, Liu Xiu because of his acquaintance with Yin Lihua's brother-in-law, and through the matchmaking of Yin Lihua's brother-in-law, Liu Xiu met Yin Lihua, and that beautiful beauty left a deep impression on Liu Xiu and took root in Liu Xiu's heart. Liu Xiu vowed to marry Yin Lihua, once Liu Xiu saw the army trip on the street, the scene was very grand, let Liu Xiu feel excited after watching it, and then he sighed, when he was an official, he would become a high-ranking official in the army, and then marry a wife who should marry someone like Yin Lihua.
Later, Wang Mang's reason, that dynasty was very turbulent, there was no stability in society, and the people were miserable. Many rebels began to rise up and prepare to fight against Wang Mang, when Liu Xiu and his brother were also preparing to raise an army in Nanyang, but because Liu Xiu's brother was very prestigious and had quite leadership ability, he was hated by the emperor at the time, Liu Xuan, who was afraid that Liu Xiu's brother would seize his throne. This news reached Liu Xiu's ears, Liu Xiu was very afraid, he was afraid that he would also be invited to kill himself, and then he quickly went to Liu Xuan's city to ask the emperor for his guilt, Liu Xuan saw that Liu Xiu was so obedient, and so far-sighted, he felt that he should not have the intention of usurping, so he revoked his military power, only gave him an idle post, let Liu Xiu in the army, idle every day, he did not have any real power.
Although Liu Xiu did not have any real power, he was more or less a Wuxin Hou, although he did not have any real power in the army, and he was idle every day, but the Yin Lihua family felt that Liu Xiu would be able to become a talent in the future and be able to do a big career, so they married Yin Lihua to Liu Xiu, at that time Yin Lihua was only 19 years old, but Liu Xiu was already 29 years old. Although the two of them got married, the world was very unoptimistic about the marriage between the two, Liu Xiu was immoral and incompetent, how could he marry Yin Lihua, who was rich in family, and Liu Xiu disregarded his brother and did a big happy event during the funeral, without a little conscience. Although Yin Lihua heard these words, he never took these words in his heart, silently cooperating with Liu Xiu, at that time, the two of them were very affectionate after marriage, but other places were full of dangers.
However, three months after the marriage of the two people, and then Liu Xiu was summoned by the emperor and wanted him to go to Luoyang, but at that time Luoyang was very chaotic, although Liu Xiu did not want to go, but if he did not go, the emperor would definitely have a different heart, Liu Xiu was not implicated in Yin Lihua, he decided to go, before deciding to go, he let Yin Lihua go back to his mother's house to live, because at that time there were people to take care of Yin Lihua, and he also knew that her husband was not the kind of person who was willing to be at home, hoping to make a career. After Liu Xiu went away for a few months, the news was gradually lost, yin Lihua never received a letter from Liu Xiu again, and a few years later, Yin Lihua felt that her husband should have died in battle, and she was ready to be widowed. In the first year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu was in Luoyang, sending someone to take Yin Lihua to the palace, Yin Yin Lihua felt very surprised, she did not know why, it would involve the palace but did not dare not go, after all, it was the emperor summoned. When she saw that the person behind the curtain was Liu Xiu, she was very surprised, it turned out that her husband had already become emperor, after which Yin Lihua was made a nobleman, and after Liu Xiu deposed Guo Shengtong, the empress, Yin Lihua became the second empress of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
