When marrying a wife, marrying Yin Lihua, what is her superiority? Liu Xiu loved her alone in her life. Since ancient times, there is such a saying that "marrying a wife should marry Yin Lihua", as a model for all men to marry a wife, what did Yin Lihua do, will be so sought after? Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu had already married Yin Lihua before he ascended the throne, when Yin Lihua's family occupied Xinye, so yin Lihua's family was also very prominent, at that time Liu Xiu was still a cloth cloth, Yin Lihua had a poisonous eye on him, and the two were already married at that time.
Later, the situation forced Liu Xiu's brother to be killed, Liu Xiu began to chase deer in the Central Plains, but according to the situation at that time, wanting to recover the Central Plains could not be separated from the Hebei family, which was powerful at that time, and the Hebei family also threw out an olive branch at this time, wanting to combine the two and two. Liu Xiu did not have soldiers, horses, grain and grass in his hands, so he had to ask the powerful Guo family for help. In the end, Liu Xiu married Guo Shengtong, the niece of the Guo family, and received support from the Guo family.
On the way to fight the Jiangshan, the Guo family has always been Liu Xiu's arm. Although Yin Lihua was also from a rich family, she had no political power and could not help Liu Xiu militarily. Later, Liu Xiu was proclaimed emperor, and he was overwhelmed by who to make empress. Yin Lihua sensed her husband's difficulties and took the initiative to stand up and give way, and her humility was also exchanged for the Guo family's loyalty to Liu Xiu.
When the imperial power stabilized day by day, the Guo family began to expand their ambitions because they had the merit of founding the country, Liu Xiu was also worried about foreign relatives interfering in politics, and now that he had controlled the imperial court, he no longer needed the Guo family, plus Guo Shengtong was not a good empress, she once had a bad relationship with the harem concubines, and even the work of educating future generations could not be done well.
Eventually, Liu Xiu deposed the empress dowager and replaced it with Yin Lihua, and Guo Shengtong's son's position as crown prince was also abolished. Yin Lihua never competed with other concubines in the harem for favors, and also treated the princes born to other concubines equally, raising 11 princes and 5 princesses for Liu Xiu, being frugal and never extravagant and wasteful, all of which showed her virtuous demeanor.
Yin Lihua knew that Liu Xiu had always been afraid of foreign relatives interfering in politics, so she repeatedly advised her family not to be pampered and arrogant, and repeatedly refused Liu Xiu's official rewards, thus saving the entire Yin family. After Liu Xiu's death, Yin Lihua's son Liu Zhuang took the throne, and the empress she chose for her son was also a virtuous and virtuous person, who not only maintained the harmony of the harem, but also cleverly avoided the consequences of foreign forces interfering in politics. Therefore, the loving couple of Yin Lihua and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu also made many people envious.
