Since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although it has experienced a brief period of prosperity, it has not recovered. But in the middle and late period, there was a matter of foreign relatives interfering in government affairs, it was the blood of the royal family, but it was a life of not having enough to eat, clothing and warmth, and how much disdain it was received. But what I did not expect was that in the end, it was still impossible to escape the corruption of future generations, and the crazy rise of foreign relatives' forces was also something that would occur in all dynasties and dynasties, and could not be avoided. But today I still want to talk about the life of a strange woman. She was Deng Sui, the empress dowager of the Han And Emperor.
The family is prominent
In the fifth year of the founding of emperor Zhang of Han, a well-behaved and cute girl was born in Xinye, Nanyang. There was a prominent family, and inside lived Deng Yu, the head of the "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai", and also lived in the Qiang School Deng Xun. These two people were Deng Sui's grandfather and father, respectively. And Deng Sui's mother is not far behind, and the family is also famous. Her aunt was more directly the Empress. Because of the careful teaching of his parents, at the age of sixteen, Deng Sui was already out of the woods, and quite temperamental, probably this is "belly with poetry and bookish self-glory".
Before Deng Sui, the most favored was the Empress Yin. However, when Deng Sui came, Empress Yin felt the crisis, fortified everywhere, and intentionally or unintentionally blew her ears around the emperor and said bad things about Deng Sui. What Empress Yin had done soon reached Deng Suina, who was humble and obedient by nature, and had no intention of clashing with the Empress, and although she was a little aggrieved after hearing these words, she became more cautious after doing things.
Back-to-back battle
After Deng Sui was favored by Emperor He, not only did he not pamper and be proud, but he acted more low-key. Every time the harem concubines attended the grand occasion together, the concubines were competing to dress themselves up, and Deng Sui was light and light makeup, simple and unpretentious. Especially in front of Empress Yin, Deng Sui always showed his humility and did not let his own limelight overshadow Empress Yin.
Emperor He was amazed when he knew Deng Sui's painstaking heart. Deng Sui's reputation was getting better and better, and he was more and more favored by the emperor, which caused Empress Yin to be jealous, and privately told others that if he gained power, then he would definitely not let the Deng family stay alive. This matter reached Deng Sui's ears, and Deng Sui was very aggrieved, and he served the empress so wholeheartedly that he did not expect such an ending. Deng Sui's intercession for Empress Yin was unsuccessful, so he vigorously resigned and the emperor set himself up as empress, and even used illness to resign when he met with the emperor. Later, after emperor he forced Deng Sui to do so, this matter was over.
In China's more than 2,000 years of feudal history, it is not uncommon for women to rule, and the largest number and longest time in China are the Eastern Han Dynasty. The reason for this is mainly because the emperor was too young to visit the dynasty, so the empress dowager managed the courtiers on his behalf. From the Han and Emperor He began to try to ascend the throne, several empresses successively appeared on the political stage. Among them, the most outstanding ability to govern the country was The Empress Deng Sui of the Han And Emperor.
