"Later Liu Heng passed away, she became the noble Empress Dowager Dou. Because the Han Dynasty was famous for its filial piety, her son Emperor Jing was extremely filial to her. Later, when her grandson Liu Che came to the throne, she was already the empress dowager who was powerful in both the government and the public. gone."

"Empress Dou is an extremely lucky person. She is not like many women who competed for favor in the harem of the past dynasties. She did not experience the power struggle of the court, and she won the highest glory and wealth in the world."

"This scepter fell easily on a woman without ambition. The step-by-step transformation of Queen Dou's identity does depend on her good luck. Perhaps this is fate's compensation for this woman who suffered from a hard life when she was young. Bar."

"Empress Dowager Dou is a combination of Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dowager Lu. Because she has both Empress Lu's political methods and Empress Dowager Bo's kindness, she did not do anything autocratic, but she did have the power to speak in the court. of."

"Empress Dowager Dou was the last ruler in the Western Han Dynasty to embrace the "Huang-Lao Thought". Under her influence, the Western Han Dynasty regime could continue the spirit of "people's livelihood" and "governing by inaction" set by Liu Bang. Although "Huang-Lao Thought" could not expand the territory, but it did indirectly push the Han Dynasty to the peak of strength."

"When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered his son Emperor Jing and the Dou family to study the art of Huang and Lao, if anyone criticized me, she would be punished by her. She liked Lao Tzu's books and did not like Confucianism, but when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Everyone knows that he only respects Confucianism."

"In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Wu of the Han had different ideas of governing the country, Empress Dowager Dou supported Liu Che to a large extent."

"In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou held real power. When Liu Che's views were contrary to Liu Che's views, Liu Che would submit to her. In the final analysis, Liu Che's throne was in her hands. If she did not support Liu Che, he could have been abolished long ago."

What he needed was not to recuperate and let nature take its course, nor to govern with strict and legal rule. However, Confucianism provided a balanced view that emphasized the monarch Virtue and benevolence, as well as care and education for the people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Confucianism could provide a reasonable and stable way of governance, which could govern the country and unite people's hearts and rebuild their homeland. This is why he came up with the following words "Depose a hundred schools of thought, Respect Confucianism only”!

"In general, Emperor Wu of the Han finally chose Confucianism as the theoretical basis of the country, based on the comprehensive consideration of various factors."

By advocating Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried to embody benevolence and morality in his rule and establish stability And orderly society and political power. This choice had a profound impact on the development of the Han Dynasty and Chinese history."

He has power and ambition. The emperor can be whoever he wants. Because of this, she doesn't interfere with what the emperor should do, she just needs to be sure, generally speaking, I think it's quite virtuous."
