Preface
Liu Bang, a powerful ancient hero, rose to prominence in an era of war and chaos, founded the Han Dynasty, and ushered in a new era of Chinese feudal society. However, one of his romantic stories has left an intriguing record in the pages of history. On his journey to dominate the world, a woman's fate is unexpectedly intertwined with his.
The woman's husband was Liu Bang's opponent, but he was killed by Liu Bang during the war. Liu Bang possessed her husband, but in these chaotic years, he formed a bizarre love affair with her. An interweaving of power and love and hatred finally pushed this woman to the position of the eye-catching queen mother. Let's explore the twists and turns hidden behind the queen mother.
1. Bride-in-law
Bo Ji was born into a famous family and has been bathed in wealth and glory since she was a child. She is bright and moving, with outstanding quality, and is cared for and nurtured like a young lady. When she was a girl, she married Wei Wangbao, a famous general of Chu State, and became the young lady of a wealthy nobleman, and a bright future looked at her.
However, the good times did not last long, and when the war came, Liu Bang coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, causing a melee between the powerful and powerful. Wei Wangbao rebelled and surrendered to Liu Bang, but unexpectedly, the general trend had gone, and he was defeated and captured. At this time, Bo Ji was still at home waiting for her husband's triumph. Unexpectedly, the news of the army's defeat came suddenly, Liu Bang's army was killed under the city, and Bo Ji, the general's wife, was also reduced to a trophy.
Bo Ji, who was imprisoned, saw that she fell from the dust of a wealthy lady overnight and became a prisoner of the harem. The stubbornness and pride in her eyes have long since disappeared, replaced by depression, despair and confusion. Everything seemed to come to an abrupt end, and she could never go back to her old life.
2. The hardships and humiliations of life in the palace
After being brought into the palace by Liu Bang, Bo Ji's life plummeted. She is no longer a high-ranking lady and a young lady, but a slave who has been bullied. In these two different worlds, she has experienced great changes in her life.
At first, she spent her days in the palace doing rough work, washing and sewing people. There was no one around to summon her, and the concubines regarded her as an enemy. Bo Ji felt deeply humiliated, she was unwilling to be reduced to the status of a slave, but she was powerless to resist, so she could only carefully curry favor with everyone. But even so, she is still in the eyes, and everyone jokingly calls her "the stingy goods of the Wei family", living in dire straits.
Day after day, year after year, Bo Ji spent her youth in a life of hard and hard work. Her slender fingers were covered with calluses, and her delicate appearance was gone. But even so, she still did not give up her hopes for the future, and survived the cold and long court life day after day.
3. Encounter a former friend in the palace
In the boring court life, Bo Ji often missed the glorious old days. Her memory of the wealth and glory of the past is still fresh, which has become her spiritual sustenance in the difficult years. Now it is not what it used to be, she can only silently reminisce about the past in her heart.
One day, when she was working in the palace, she met a concubine. This concubine is her former friend, and the two reunited after a long absence, and they hit it off at first sight. She recounted her experience of being favored in the palace, and lamented the humiliation that Bo Ji had suffered here.
This chance encounter became an opportunity for Bo Ji's fate to turn around. Her friends mentioned her many times in front of Liu Bang, praising her for being gentle, beautiful, and versatile. Finally, Liu Bang summoned Bo Ji into the palace and allowed her to leave her status as a slave and become a favored concubine.
Fourth, the harem life has gone from low to high
After re-entering the harem, Bo Ji was reborn. She took off her coarse cloth clothes, changed into gorgeous wedding clothes, and transformed from a lowly slave to a favored concubine. She was overjoyed and finally saw hope in life again.
At first, Bo Ji was cautious, knowing that women must judge the situation and be deep and steady in the harem. She thinks about people everywhere and carefully pleases the concubines. Gradually, her beauty, docility and generosity began to impress everyone.
As the days went by, Bo Ji gradually gained the favor of the emperor, and she was also valued in the court. She was well-informed, thoughtful, and knew how to judge the situation, and gradually gained the trust of the emperor. As a result, her words and deeds also reveal a majesty and solemnity.
Fifth, he gave birth to a prince for Liu Bang
In the life of the harem, which gradually stabilized, Bo Ji was frequently favored by the emperor. One day, she finally became pregnant, which made Liu Bang very happy. After going through hardships, she finally became pregnant with a prince, which was undoubtedly a huge turning point in her life.
During this period, Bo Ji took care of the fetus carefully and paid attention to health preservation. She sincerely pleaded with the imperial doctor and followed the doctor's advice. At the same time, she helped the emperor deal with court affairs with her wisdom and empathy and gained trust. Finally, she gave birth to the prince Liu Heng in the limelight, which improved her status in the palace and became a concubine favored by the emperor.
Sixth, assist the prince and become the queen mother
Liu Heng, the prince, gradually grew up, and under Bo Ji's careful education, he showed his intelligent and studious nature. He was well-read and loved by the emperor. Gradually, he was made crown prince and became the heir to the throne. This undoubtedly also enhanced Bo Ji's status in the palace, and she was revered as the mother of the crown prince.
Under Bo Ji's careful teaching, Liu Heng was famous for his benevolent government and won the hearts of the people. Finally, after Liu Bang died, Liu Heng ascended the throne as the emperor, and it was for Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Since then, Bo Ji has been made the empress dowager. She is no longer the helpless palace maid she used to be, but the queen mother of the world.
Seventh, the auxiliary government is in power, and the mother is the world
The Queen Mother was very old at the time, but her mind was still keen, and she did not reduce that year. She always cares about national affairs, regards herself as a mother in the world, and assists her son in governing the country. Emperor Wen was nurtured by the Empress Dowager since he was a child, and he was also benevolent, so under the auxiliary government of the Empress Dowager, the national power of the Han Dynasty became increasingly prosperous.
The Queen Mother is good at court politics, and she is well versed in power and strategy. She has insight into people's hearts and is good at recognizing and employing people. At the same time, the decision-making power is also in her hands. She used her power to help her son consolidate his power, stabilize the country, and put Han on the right track.
The wisdom and determination of the Empress Dowager made Emperor Wen win the hearts of the people during his reign. The country's political clarity, economic development, and social stability became the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
8. Help the concubine and support the Han River
After the death of Emperor Wen, the Empress Dowager appointed her youngest son Liu Xun as emperor. In the past, her rich experience in assisting her eldest son to govern the country became her magic weapon to take charge of the government again. She cultivated this young master with her heart and preserved the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
The Queen Mother was not in good health in her later years, but she was still energetic and politically savvy. She supported the new emperor as an old man and a young man, and cared for the people with motherly love. A civilized and enlightened policy lays a solid foundation for the long-term peace and stability of the country.
