When it comes to the harem women in history, there is no one who does not want to be an empress. However, the original partner of Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, took the initiative to reject the throne, but instead gave it to others...
Newlyweds are forced to separate
Yin Lihua was the yuanbi wife of Liu Xiu, emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his second empress. She has a gentle and kind personality, was the first person in Chinese history to have an empress dowager system, and was called a model of "motherhood in the world" by Liu Xiu.
Yin Lihua's talents are all dragons and phoenixes among people. She was a descendant of guan Zhong, a famous xiangguan zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period, born in a large family at that time, Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu fell in love at first sight, and then Liu Xiu followed her brother to raise a banner against Wang Mang from a white-clad soldier, and was named a beautiful daughter of the Yin family after being crowned as a general. In fact, Yin Lihua knew that Liu Xiu loved her very much, but she had been wronged since she began to marry Liu Xiu.
When Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua's wedding date was approaching, Liu Xiu's brother was killed by Emperor Gengshi, and Liu Xiu could not turn his face with Emperor Gengshi for the time being in order to take care of the overall situation. At this time, holding a wedding can eliminate the doubts of the more first emperor, but Yin Lihua and he will be criticized and accused by others, which cannot avoid being wronged.
Liu Xiu couldn't make a decision, and Yin Lihua decided for him: Marry!
She loved him, understood his suffering, understood his love, so she was willing to bear the guilt and share his pain. After the new marriage, Yin Lihua is also gentle and sensible, sharing a lot of unspeakable pain for Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu sighed that "if you have a wife like this, your husband will ask for it again" and decided that she will never live up to Yin Lihua in this life. Later, because Liu Xiu was still sent to the north by emperor Gengshi, the fierce Duoji had to go, so the newlyweds could only separate the two places, and Yin Lihua could only swallow the grievance of guarding the empty house alone.
Yin Lihua is looking forward to Liu Xiu's return, single-mindedly believing that her husband can achieve something. However, when Liu Xiu finally won the career victory, he already had another woman by his side, and this woman had a child and played a role in her husband's career that she could never match.
For the sake of her husband's imperial inheritance, she gave up the position of empress and gave it to Guo Shengtong
Liu Xiu loves Yin Lihua, Yin Lihua is the white moonlight in his heart, he rewrites the fate of the future for her, but he loses faith in her for the future, but Yin Lihua cannot complain about him. She understood his friendship, understood his pain and sacrifice, and she had to trust him if she couldn't help him, so she didn't complain about all the decisions Liu Xiu made.
When Liu Xiu asked to make Yin Lihua empress, she refused. She knew what Guo Shengtong had brought to Liu Xiu, she was also his wife who was in trouble, she also bore him the eldest son, her family had made great contributions to the founding of the country, and behind the instability of the foundation of a big country, she still needed the support of her mother's family...
Yin Lihua knew how to love her husband, so not only could she not accept Liu Xiuli as the queen and let her husband set up another woman as the queen, but also had to help him analyze and persuade him to release his feelings, and she could only swallow this grievance calmly.
The original lady accompanied the emperor as a concubine, and even after giving birth to a son, she still did not ask about political affairs, did not leave the left and right, did not care about fame, did not pamper and proud, had no ambition, and was a woman who supported and understood her husband. Wait until Liu Xiu's world is settled, when Guo Shengtong is already an empress, her son is a prince, and with Yin Lihua as a person, she can live a life without worry in front of the empress, but she can't tolerate other concubines, and all kinds of self-inflicted death make her absolute advantage less important.
Finally, Liu Xiu couldn't stand her, so he forcibly abolished Guo Shengtong and set up Yin Lihua as queen. At this time, Yin Lihua had already won the unanimous approval of the court with her own kindness, and everything came to fruition, but even so, Yin Lihua never changed her attitude towards the Guo clan, and after the former prince insisted on leaving, she also advised the emperor to make up for the Guo clan in various ways.
Liu Xiu's evaluation of Yin Lihua's "beauty of motherhood" is well-deserved, and because of Yin Lihua's teachings of benevolence and family style, Liu Zhuang later became a generation of Ming Jun. There are countless surprising women in history, but Yin Lihua uses her broad mind to convey love, although she has done nothing politically, but what she has done makes people feel as warm as an April day on earth.
