In the feudal dynasty society, the greatest power is the emperor, and the royal family often enjoys various privileges. Other than that, there is only one way to become a royal: marry a princess. But after all, the horse is a foreign force, and compared with the real royal family, the status is still too different. Take the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu as an example, he has five daughters, but the end of the five horses, I took a deep breath of cool air, and only one of them was able to die well, which is really amazing. It seems that wealth and risk really go hand in hand.
Liu Xiu's eldest daughter, Liu Yiwang (劉義王), was created Princess of Wuyang in the fifteenth year of Jianwu and married Liang Song ( Liang Song , a servant of the Marquis of Lingxiang. Liu Xiu especially liked his eldest daughter, and Liang Song was also favored for this.
But this Liang Song did not know what the reason was, and he competed with the Fubo general Ma Yuan. Even after Ma Yuan's death, he also used the excuse to frame. Liu Xiu was furious and withdrew the new Marquis Yinshou given to Ma Yuan, that is, deprived the Marquis of the Ma family. Liang Song and his gang took the opportunity to fall into the well and continue to persecute the Ma family. Ma Yuan spent his life in the southern conquest of the northern war, loyal and loyal, leaving behind the good name of "died in the battlefield, Ma Ge shrouded the body", but he did not expect to be forced to bury smoothly after death. Ma Yuan's guests and friends were old, and they did not dare to go to Ma's house to mourn, and the situation was very bleak. Many people expressed deep sympathy for the misfortune of the Ma family, so they deeply despised Liang Song's personality. Liang Song did not have the slightest self-consciousness, still relying on Liu Xiu's pampering and arrogance.
When emperor Hanming arrived, this donkey ma ye was also dizzy, still angry at Ma Yuan, and repeatedly spread Ma Yuan's slanderous messages, but forgot that the empress of Liu Zhuang, the Emperor of Hanming, was Ma Yuan's younger daughter. Liang Song's illegal behavior finally annoyed Emperor Hanming, and he was sentenced to death for the crime, and he blamed himself.
Liu Xiu's second daughter, Liu Zhongli, was created Princess of Neyang for fifteen years and married Dou Gu, the Marquis of Dahong. Dou Gu was very accomplished, leading his army to attack the Xiongnu many times, and once defeated the Northern Xiongnu Huyan King. His reputation shocked the frontier, and the Qiang, Wuhuan, and Xianbei people who were dependent on the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time all admired Dou Gu. Dou Gu also had a very great achievement, that is, he sent Ban beyond the Western Regions, successfully controlled the vast Western Regions, cut off the way for the countries in the Western Regions to transfuse blood to the Xiongnu, and caused the Xiongnu to continue to decline. Dou Gu was deeply respected for his outstanding military achievements, and both Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang were very kind to Dou Gu. Unfortunately, Dou Gu and Princess Neiyang's son Dou Biao died too early, resulting in no successor to the Dou family, and no one inherited the title after Dou Gu's death.
Liu Xiu's third daughter, named Liu Hongfu, was princess of the fifteenth year and married han guang. But this Han Guang did not enjoy much glory and wealth because the mother of this Princess Guantao was Guo Shengtong. Guo Shengtong was Liu Xiu's first empress, but was later deposed, and even with several children, he was not welcomed by Liu Xiu. Empress Guo's two sons, Liu Kang and Liu Yan, were also disqualified from inheriting the throne, so they were angry and deliberately plotted rebellion many times. Han Guang then participated in the plot of rebellion by his brother-in-law Liu Yan the Prince of Huaiyang, and after the matter was leaked, Emperor Hanming could not bear to execute Liu Yan, but only reduced his fiefdom. But Han Guangke was not so polite and was ruthlessly executed.
Liu Xiu's fourth daughter, Liu Li Liu (I don't know if she likes to say cross-talk, hehe), was crowned Princess of Xiangyang in seventeen years and married Guo Huang of the Marquis of Yang'an. This Guo Huang has no special ability, but his origin is also extraordinary. He was the nephew of Guo Shengtong, Liu Xiu's first empress. Originally, Guo Shengtong was deposed, the Guo family was not welcome, since he married the princess, he honestly lived a safe and stable life, but this endured for decades, or did not hold back. During the Han and Emperor periods, he participated in the rebellion of the great general Dou Xian. As a result, he was killed along with his own son, and all the powerful people in his own family were killed, and all the officials were dismissed.
Liu Xiu's fifth daughter was named Liu Shou, who was crowned Princess Liyi in twenty-one years and married Yin Feng, the Marquis of Xinyang, and as soon as she looked at this surname, she knew that this was a member of the Empress Yin Lihua family. Yes, this Yin Feng is Yin Lihua's nephew, the Son of the Yin Family. The marriage of these two most prominent families should have been incomparably glorious. However, Princess Liu Shou held her father Liu Xiu the Guangwu Emperor and Liu Zhuang the Emperor of Hanming very fond of her, and her temper was already very large, and Yin Feng was still lustful and grumpy, and the two could not be combined.
One day, a civil war broke out between Yin Feng and the princess, and after a big quarrel, it finally reached its climax: Yin Feng impulsively killed Princess Li Yi with a knife.
When Liu Zhuang heard that his sister had actually died at the hands of his cousin, his eyes immediately lit up with Venus. Not only to avenge his sister, but also to establish the prestige of the old Liu family: if you dare to kill the princess now, you will not kill the emperor in the future. Therefore, in front of his mother Yin Lihua, Liu Zhuang issued an order without mercy and beheaded Yin Feng.

Not only to avenge his sister, but also to establish a prestige for the old Liu family: if you dare to kill the princess now, will you not kill the emperor in the future? Therefore, in front of his mother Empress Yin Lihua, Liu Zhuang mercilessly ordered Yin Feng to be beheaded. Even Yin Lihua's brother Yin And his wife, because of the lack of a godson, ordered them to commit suicide at home. However, after this incident, the eastern Han dynasty horses in the future no longer had the courage to challenge the princess and became more and more low-key.
Of the five daughters of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, only Princess Neiyang's horse Dou Gu was able to die, and the other four princesses' horses were all killed for reasons. It can be seen that the most ruthless imperial family, don't care who you are, as long as you fall into the game of thrones, you can't help yourself, and it is rare to have a good ending.
