In the early Han Dynasty, there were many powerful women. Of course, the most famous is Empress Lü Yan. After that, she had to mention Empress Dowager Dou. As an ordinary peasant woman, she first served Queen Lü Hou, then gained the trust of Lü Hou, was later rewarded to the Dai Wang, and was favored by the Dai Wang, and then supported her son to the position of Emperor. Even in the early days of Emperor Wudi of The Han Dynasty, she still monopolized power for a long time, which can be said to be very legendary.
Dou Yifang was born into an ordinary family. Due to the difficult times of the Qin Dynasty, her father lived in seclusion to a small place to view Jin. The family lives in poverty. His father liked to fish, so he often went to the river. Unexpectedly, accidentally fell and drowned, leaving several children behind. After losing her pillar, the family is even more sad, and Dou Yifang suffered a lot when she was a child.
Later, the palace chose slaves and maids. She was chosen because of the clean and nice appearance of her home. So I entered the palace. At that time, Lü Hou was a relatively talented woman at that time. Dou stayed with her for several years. She sees a lot of things and is influenced by a lot of factors. Her own rules of life and way of working can also be influenced by Lü Hou's shadow. Since then, her life has been destined to be extraordinary.
At that time, the women in the palace were released at about the same age, and some would be placed next to the nobility in the form of rewards for certain political purposes. At that time, as a person next to Lü Hou, Dou Yifang's status was higher than that of ordinary women in the palace. With her beautiful appearance and decent demeanor, she rewarded the princes with others.
On behalf of four other women, she was sent to the Daiwang Territory. There were also suggestions that she should be allowed to represent the country and not elsewhere. As we all know, the mother of the Daiwang is Bo Ji. In Gaozu Palace, although Lü Yan had absolute power, there were many women around Gaozu, and Bo Ji was one of the most popular women. Although her son lost his fiefdom after Gaozu's death, as Gaozu's fourth son, Liu Heng was also a very strong contender for the throne.
Someone once analyzed that many of the women sent by Lü Yan were carefully selected, and they were all around Lü Hou and were more trusted. These women were sent not only to reward and win relationships, but also to spy on them. After all, the kingdom of the princes was too far away, and the empress dowager in the imperial city could not grasp this movement, in case the rebellion of these princes could not be learned in time, it would be very troublesome, so it was enough to send someone to spy.
The advantage of the sinus chamber is that it has a very attractive wrist. She was the only one of the five people sent to the king at the time to be spoiled, and she also bore a daughter and two sons. Therefore, some people speculated that Dou Yifang could do this, and it was also she who betrayed Lü Yan and even helped dai wang secretly resist the empress to gain such trust.
Of course, there are many loopholes in this statement. As for Dou's ability to gain favor, there is another theory, because she did not fight for this, which is more reassuring. First of all, she was not a high-status, but a commoner woman, so she had cultivated a more respectful and discreet personality, always humble in the face of the demands of her superiors, and did not fight for anything, even if she was the queen, she did not take the initiative to seize power.
