History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Yongzheng: Although Emperor Guangwu abolished Guo's title of empress, he did not kill the disgraced concubine and deposed prince like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did to Li Ji. Instead, he chose to treat Guo Shengtong courteously, treat Guo Shengtong equally in everything, and treat Guo Shengtong who had fallen from power. The Guo clan members still give generous gifts, which is really rare and rare!

Liu Rushi: To be honest, I really envy Ms. Zhang’s era. Men and women were equal and women could be noble. They were all fighting against Liu Xiu. Indeed, what did this mean in ancient times?Isn't it just a woman?How can it be compared to the position of an emperor?You see, this history is always unfair to women!

Although the love story between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua is considered by the world to be a model of emperor's special love, Liu Xiu's "special love" actually hurt another woman, Guo Shengtong, and even meant to repay kindness with hatred. Why don't you dare to say this?

You don’t have to marry!Do you, Emperor Guangwu, dare?You do not dare?That man has no ambition?The opportunity is right in front of him!Did a word of kindness erase how he got the throne?

Does he dare to be unkind?Kill the wife who can hold the position of emperor?Ha ha!Then I think no minister will be loyal to this Emperor Guangwu!
Shangguan Wan'er: Well said!From Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to Empress Lu, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Chen Ajiao, and from Emperor Guangwu to Empress Guo, this emperor of the Han Dynasty really used his coolness to the extreme. It is natural for him to destroy bridges when crossing rivers!

Wu Zetian: What is this?As long as he can ascend the throne?As long as she can control the power, what does it matter to a woman?Isn’t that right, everyone?

Changsun Wuji: It’s useless for you to ridicule?This is reality. It is really inappropriate for a woman to become the emperor!
Li Qingzhao: Yes!Lord Changsun is so powerful, why was he harmed by a woman?You can't!What about reality?Don't you let others have their own ideas?The love between children cannot be compared to the love of family, country and world, but we also look down on men who rely on women to rise to power and then burn bridges!
"When Liu Xiu was young, he did have the dream of "marrying a wife worthy of Yin Lihua," so when he had some success, he married Yin Lihua."

"But the world was not peaceful at that time, and Liu Xiu was still at war, so he had to separate from Yin Lihua."

"It is said that Yin Lihua has helped Liu Xiu a lot, so what about her help? Just by talking?"

"The Yin Lihua family is so powerful, do you still need to stay in your hometown? Does Liu Xiu still use Hebei to do recruitment work?"

"In Hebei, Liu Xiu encountered a hurdle and was besieged by the local separatist force Wang Lang. At this critical moment, Guo Shengtong's uncle Liu Yang appeared."

"Without Liu Yang, would Liu Xiu have died in Hebei?"

"The answer is yes, isn't it?"

"At that time, Liu Yang, who had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, had just surrendered to Wang Lang. If Liu Xiu wanted to get out of trouble, Liu Yang was a good breakthrough point, so he sent his confidant general Liu Zhi to serve as a lobbyist, and successfully brought Liu Xiu to the throne. Young was convinced.”

"But Liu Yang put forward a condition, that is, Liu Xiu must marry his niece Guo Shengtong. Liu Xiu had no choice but to marry Guo Shengtong."

"It can be said that Liu Yang is Liu Xiu's savior. Don't blame Liu Yang for rebelling later. He repays kindness with hatred and doesn't take Guo Shengtong seriously when he gains power? Aren't you, Liu Xiu, always playing tricks on others?"

"On the day they got married, Guo's dowry was not only rich in gold and silver, but also had [-] elite soldiers. It was with these troops brought by Guo that Liu Xiucai had the confidence to speak out in troubled times. He won more and more battles in the future, and his fame became bigger and bigger." "From then on, Liu Xiu's life was like a hang-up, rising step by step. Not only did his team get bigger and bigger, but Guo also gave birth to a child for him. Five children, reaching the pinnacle of life!”

"No one forced him to marry. It was Liu Xiu who had no choice. Besides, Liu Yang and you didn't know each other at first. If you want help from others, how could they help you in vain? It's really ridiculous. Where did you get the world by relying on others? I said I treated Guo Shengtong kindly, isn’t that what I should do?”

"After Liu Xiu founded the country, he naturally needed to appoint a queen. This put Liu Xiu in a difficult position. Yin Lihua was his first wife, and she was beautiful and had a good personality. She was Liu Xiu's favorite person. Although Guo Shengtong was not as good-looking as Yin Lihua, She is beautiful, but she has followed Liu Xiu all over the world and experienced life and death together for many years, and she also gave birth to five children, so Liu Xiu also has feelings for her."

"I just want to say that you, Emperor Guangwu, know that Guo Shengtong has accompanied you all over the world and helped you conquer the world. What should you think about who to appoint as your queen?"

"Don't you men say that rights are more important than women? Then what's going on with Liu Xiu? When the country was founded, you wanted to establish Yin Lihua as queen? You established Yin Lihua as queen, can you live with it? Do you have this idea? Don't blame Liu Yang for turning against you!"

"According to Liu Xiu's original intention, he naturally wanted to make Yin Lihua his queen, but in order to appease the Hebei faction, Liu Xiu finally chose Guo Shengtong as his queen."

"However, the marriage between Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong was ultimately a political marriage, and the appointment of Guo Shengtong as queen was also based on interests. Liu Xiu's deep love was Yin Lihua."

"In the 17th year of Jianwu's reign, Liu Xiu issued an edict to abolish the queen, citing Empress Guo's "grievances" and "Lu Huo's style", and at the same time, established Yin Lihua as queen."

"Listen carefully to the reasons for deposing the queen. It is not ridiculous for a generation of virtuous queen to be smeared by her own man. A woman who accompanied you in your military expeditions and helped you ascend to the throne was deposed and smeared by you, and in the end she actually... Just a word of "kindness" discredits one's kindness and revenge!"

"Guo Shengtong made no big mistake, but was deposed for no reason. Shouldn't Liu Xiu feel guilty?"

"So, Liu Xiu later made Guo Shengtong's son Liu Fu the King of Zhongshan, made her the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, allocated Changshan County to the Zhongshan Kingdom, and used the two counties to support the Guo family. Isn't it Liu Xiu's conscience?"

"Guo Shengtong also became the third woman in the history of the Han Dynasty who was named "Queen Mother" after the emperor survived."

Li Shimin: We don’t want to speak anymore. What can’t we say?Treating Queen Guo like this is indeed repaying kindness with vengeance and burning down bridges. Of course, we also understand Liu Xiu. This may be a common problem among men. He is already the emperor. How can he let his beloved woman be wronged? In the final analysis, Emperor Guangwu does not love Guo Shengtong. Isn't it?
Kangxi: You women say this is reality, so what is there to argue about?Reality is reality, it is not your ideal!

Liu Bowen: After all, the love between children is not something we have to distinguish. No matter how we say it is a stain on Emperor Guangwu, we still have to pay attention to policy issues. It is true that "there are affairs but no politics" in governance, but it is just a matter of handling it. In terms of personnel matters, Emperor Guangwu was still afraid that power would fall into the hands of others, resulting in the failure to create a good system.
