Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, founded the Han Dynasty, and it is undeniable that the emergence of the Han Dynasty allowed the Continuation of Han Culture. More importantly, the emergence of the Han Dynasty allowed the feudal dynasty to continue, and from this point of view, the Qin Dynasty established by Qin Shi Huang laid the political pattern for more than two thousand years. This is something that other emperors do not have.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the world was still not peaceful, and at this time, the Han Dynasty had just been established, and there were still many problems in terms of national strength. After the death of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, there was a problem in the Han Dynasty, which was the dictatorship of Lü Hou, and at such a time, the successor Liu Ying was not a rival to his mother at all, so that the Lü family of Lü Hou became a figure of power and opposition.
The Lü family was jealous of the descendants of the Liu family, especially those who were divided into princes. Under such circumstances, Lü Hou was not at ease, so he began to cultivate his own confidants. Compared with the others, Lü Hou's confidants were all palace women, and Dou Yifang was one of them. It is worth mentioning that dou yifang's origin is ordinary. It is not easy to enter the palace.
Dou Yifang was an ordinary peasant girl, born a commoner, her father died early, and her family was in a difficult situation. In order to survive, Dou Yifang entered the palace, and since then, Dou Yifang's fate has changed. It is reasonable to say that a palace girl without a background in birth cannot be promoted in her lifetime, but in Dou Yifang, this has changed.
Dou Yifang not only broke away from the queue of palace women, but also became the empress of Emperor Wen of Han, and it is worth mentioning that Dou Yifang was a historical empress. It can be said that Dou Yifang is the luckiest woman in the world, and being able to become a generation of sages from a palace girl is enough to explain everything. Dou Yifang's luck is not only reflected in becoming a generation of sages.
From the point of view of origin, Dou Yifang was only born a commoner, and in terms of appearance, Dou Yifang was definitely not a leader in the harem of the Western Han Dynasty, because Dou Yifang's appearance was mediocre. Even in the history books, the description of Dou Yifang's appearance is limited. It was such a woman who opened her path to success. In his later years, Lü Hou felt that his time was running out.
Under such circumstances, In order to avoid a rebellion by Liu Bang's crown prince, Empress Lü sent her confidant palace daughters to various princes. Liu Bang's sons and nephews, each prince quota of five palace women. Later, Dou Yifang was assigned to the Daiguo, which was located on the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty (present-day central and northeastern Shanxi and northwestern Hebei).
Liu Heng, the acting monarch, was the fourth son of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu. When Dou Yifang arrived in Daiguo, there was no benefit to life at all, and Daiguo was remote, the land was barren, and the economic development was seriously lagging behind. Liu Heng was the most inferior among Liu Bang's sons, so he gave him a place of poverty and frequent wars, leaving him to fend for himself.
After meeting Liu Heng, Dou Yifang was favored, and Dou Yifang gave birth to a daughter and two boys for Liu Heng. At this point, Dou Yifang went to the peak, but her peak was far from over. The eldest wife (queen) of Liu Heng, the acting king, had been in poor health, seriously ill, and died young. The Daiwang did not have Empress Wang, and at this time Liu Heng turned his target to Dou Yifang.
Later, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo eradicated the power of the Lü family, and thus the throne of the Han Dynasty became vacant, at this time Chen Ping and Zhou Boli defied the public opinion and supported Liu Heng, the forgotten acting king who was thousands of miles away. In other words, Liu Heng was equivalent to dropping a throne in the sky. Liu Heng did not participate in quelling the rebellion, so Chen Ping and Zhou Bo allowed Liu Heng to succeed him.
Liu Heng, the Acting King, succeeded to the throne as Emperor Wen of Han. Then who is the empress has become the key issue, the four children born to the queen have died of illness, and it can only be said that Liu Heng's eldest wife and his four sons have a thin life. The early death of their mother and son had fulfilled the noble path of Dou Yifang. Later, Dou Yifang's eldest son, Liu Qi, was made crown prince.
Liu Qi was made crown prince, and dou Yifang naturally became empress. What is even more rare is that Emperor Wen of Han is a rare Ming Jun in history, and Liu Heng's feelings for Dou Yifang are still good, but after Dou Yifang is old, Liu Heng is not accustomed to Dou Yifang. However, this does not affect the status of the Sinus Room. Dou Yifang is not only noble in life, but also quite long-lived. Nowadays, it seems that Dou Yifang became an empress from a palace maid, and then an empress, and is undoubtedly the luckiest woman in history.
