The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 345 True Love?

Don't look at Prince Yan's son who caused several young ladies to die after being engaged to him, so he was labeled as a wife restrainer, so that for a long time, few ladies of the family dared to experiment again, so that the prince Been an old bachelor for a while.

But if Shibaniang didn't die after going through the dangerous period this time, I'm afraid those people will have new ideas, thinking that the situation of the son's restraint of his wife has eased or been lifted, and the people around him will be safe and sound in the future, and there will definitely be people Thinking about how to build a good relationship with Shizi.

Many times people want to build a good relationship by marrying. This method not only exists in Kyushu, but also in other places. If European nobles talk about blood relationship, they are more or less the same kinship.

Of course, there is a scorpion, and no one else can be the official wife of the son, but it does not mean that other young ladies cannot have an intimate relationship with the son. Apart from wives, there are also concubines.The most important thing is to be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter. This is the greatest victory.

Ling Xiao had watched some dog-blooded dramas before, but later found out that there are even more dog-blooded things in reality than dog-blooded dramas, so she had to wonder if those women would have other ideas after they became pregnant?

Maybe after having a child, some people will still think about pulling Shibaniang off the horse and making their own family members the first wife of the eldest son. This idea seems absurd, but as long as there are enough benefits, anything can happen.

Ling Xiao felt a little headache when he thought of the bloody scene, and felt that it was necessary to prepare early.It's not that Ling Xiao doesn't believe in Shiba Niang's fiancé, but that she finds out whether some things will happen, not because of her personal will, but because of the general situation, the parties are forced to do it.

This can be seen from many events in the history books. The obvious one is the alternation of the two empresses before and after Emperor Guangwu. This decades-long event made Ling Xiao see that the general trend was unshakable.

The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu in this period of history is said to be the most perfect emperor in the history of Kyushu. As the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his life was quite magical, and he was called the son of the plane by later generations.

As a fledgling, he didn't show a domineering spirit at the beginning, and he was not even as active as his elder brother. The Liu family's blood was relatively noble, and it was the blood of the Western Han royal family. Their direct ancestor was Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that after hundreds of years, Liu Xiu's family can only be regarded as a side branch among the side branches. They are only distant relatives with the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty, and have a somewhat weak blood relationship. Even Liu Xiu's father's biggest official position is a county magistrate.

After the death of his father, he and his elder brother lived with his uncle. At first Liu Xiu was a farming expert. In his early years, he wished that his bad luck would not be too high-minded. When he was studying in Chang'an, he was very envious when he saw officials traveling, so he said a word: If you are an official, you should be the ruler of Jinwu, and if you marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua.

And Zhi Jinwu was an official who led forbidden troops to defend the capital and Miyagi during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Generally, when they appeared on the stage, they cheered and hugged. They looked very powerful, which made him very envious and wanted to become Zhi Jinwu.

Zhi Jinwu didn't do it for various reasons, but another wish in his heart came true, and he finally married Yin Lihua, whom he had admired for a long time.So people say that Yin Lihua is the white moonlight in his heart, and the relationship between the two is very good after they get married.

The Yin family can also be regarded as a wealthy family in the local area, definitely not an ordinary generation.After marriage, Yin Lihua should be in harmony with her husband for the rest of her life. After all, her natal family is quite powerful, and she belongs to a family of some wealth. Even her brother who later worked with Emperor Guangwu is also considered capable.

Ordinarily, these circumstances should ensure that Yin Lihua's wife's throne is stable, but this is not the case.Later, Yin Lihua, as Bai Yueguang's original partner, gave way to another woman, Guo Shengtong, for the sake of Emperor Guangwu's future development, and changed from wife to concubine.

The reason why Yin Lihua backed down was because of the general trend, so she had to back down.Before she married Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu and her elder brother rebelled with Emperor Gengshi because they opposed Wang Mang's usurpation of power.

Kyushu was full of chaos for a while, and the Lulin Chimei Uprising was raging for a while, and during this time Liu Xiu's elder brother was killed by Emperor Gengshi, Liu Xiu had to pretend that nothing happened in order to survive, even during this period Married Yin Lihua.

Afterwards, he knew that he was still jealous of Emperor Gengshi, and he might be killed like his elder brother. Then he secretly asked someone to intercede, and was sent by Emperor Gengshi to open up territory elsewhere. He did not bring many soldiers with him when he left. Will.

And you have to go, if you don't go, you will die.But after arriving at the new site, he doesn't have much armed force, how can he open up a new site?Is it possible to use your mouth to open your mouth to shoot skills?After thinking for a long time, Liu Xiu and the others decided to prepare for marriage again.

The person who was finally selected was the largest family in that local power, and the object of the marriage was Guo Shengtong. She represented a big power and would be very useful for Emperor Guangwu's future.

Those who follow Emperor Guangwu have already made up their minds. If they marry Guo Shengtong, even if they may not get military power, at least they can take advantage of the situation. There are many times when they can pretend to be powerful and buy enough time.

But now the problem came, Liu Xiu had just married Yin Lihua not long ago, and the daughter of the Guo family who married again could only be a concubine, but Guo Shengtong belonged to the kind of person with a powerful natal family, so naturally it was impossible to be a concubine.

Although the Yin family can be regarded as a powerful local with some ability, it is not yet at the level of the family behind Guo Shengtong. The Guo family belongs to a large family in the county, and his mother is the daughter of Prince Jing Gong.

In such a comparison, Yin Lihua's status is lower, and the help she can give Liu Xiu is much less, and can Yin Lihua sit on the throne of his wife without giving in?cannot!Everything is for the great cause, Yin Lihua must back down, there is no doubt about it.

As for the men of the Yin family who probably know part of the news, they can only tacitly agree that the women of the Yin family have to give in a step: to become a concubine. Anyway, they think that as long as they are favored by Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu can already miss their own. younger sister.

As for Yin Lihua, who is the person involved, will she agree to this question?There is no need to get an answer at all, because the Yin family's daughter is still burdened with the interests of the Yin family, of course it is impossible to leave Emperor Guangwu directly and marry someone else.

On this point, everyone basically ignores the original intention of the party Yin Lihua. In fact, when talking about marriage, they don't care about the wishes of the party at all.Anyway, they felt that as long as her cousin was around, Yin Lihua couldn't dance at all.

Those people, including the Yin family, felt in their hearts that Emperor Guangwu would have a bright future, and if they followed Liu Xiu, they would definitely be able to drink soup, and everyone, including the Yin family, would also benefit.

After deciding on Yin Lihua's identity, I'm afraid that the Yin family is determined to prevent one thing from happening: as a person who has changed from a wife to a concubine, after being heartbroken by this matter, she is determined to marry another person, which will be very troublesome.

If Yin Lihua really did this, it would be tantamount to causing an irreconcilable conflict between the Yin family and Emperor Guangwu, which might lead to the complete collapse of the Yin family's political investment.

So how could the patriarch of a family support his cousin to marry someone else?It seems impossible at first glance, so I will only hide it first, and then quietly persuade me to talk about the conflict of interest.

Yin Lihua herself had no choice at all when this happened. Maybe because of the bad traffic, she thought that her husband might never come back, so she could only obediently wait at home for news.

Later, when she knew the truth, it was definitely three autumns too late, and it was useless to know. She is also a very smart person, can she not figure out the reason?For the sake of her family, she could only let herself accept the reality.

Later, when Emperor Guangwu fought in the world, he finally ascended the throne of the emperor and named Guo Shengtong the first queen. She also gave birth to Emperor Guangwu's first son and was soon named the prince.

As for the original partner Yin Lihua is still a noble person, who made her a concubine at this moment.After so many years, Guo Shengtong, who had been sitting firmly on the throne of queen, was kicked out of the throne by an imperial decree from Emperor Guangwu.

So, why did Emperor Guangwu abolish the queen after many years?There are different opinions. There is a reliable saying that the political power of the Eastern Han Dynasty was originally established on the basis of various local tyrants, which led to political struggles between various powerful groups.

However, because the Guo family had a queen, and the queen Guo gave birth to five sons and a daughter, and even the prince was born to her, the tyranny related to the Guo family was too inflated, and the emperor paid attention to it. To kill JI to show the monkey.

In the end, Emperor Guangwu abolished Guo Shengtong's position as queen on the grounds that Guo Shengtong was not suitable to be a queen.After all, in the eyes of Emperor Guangwu, the safety of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the most important thing.

But this is a guess, with too many uncertainties. Queen Guo was abolished after being the queen for 16 years, and her son temporarily retained his position as the prince until several years later. It was not right to be the crown prince, so Yin Lihua's eldest son was replaced as the crown prince.

It can be said what happened to the abolition of the posthumous queen in history. There are different opinions on some things, and some things are no longer known, because too many things have disappeared in the long river of history, and future generations can only speculate.

Some people say that you can read history books, but if the recorders of the history books don't know the truth, wouldn't everyone know what happened?From the history books, Emperor Guangwu once said that Guo Shengtong was jealous and unworthy to be the queen, but Guo Shengtong shouldn't be so stupid to be the queen for 16 years, it feels more like an excuse.

In addition to the political factors that led to the abolition of the Empress, there is also a legend between Emperor Guangwu and Yin Lihua, which belongs to unofficial history, and it is a legend that seems lingering. It says that the true love deep in Emperor Guangwu's heart has always been Yin Lihua, and I feel a little sorry for the original partner. , and finally returned the queen's throne to her.

Anyway, after reading this kind of legend, Ling Xiao felt that this kind of statement was not very reliable. If he didn't read history books, but only read some legends or novels, he might agree with this statement.

But she is different. After knowing the story, I checked the relevant history books, and I knew that Emperor Guangwu probably regarded Yin Lihua as Bai Yueguang in his early years, and left those two striking words, which made a relationship between him and Yin Lihua. Wonderful legend.

But in fact, the two of them separated soon after they got married, and Emperor Guangwu became the groom again and married the delicate and expensive Guo Shengtong. The two of them were together for several years.

And Emperor Guangwu in history was not the kind of person who crossed rivers and demolished bridges. After a few years of getting along, the husband and wife must have a certain relationship. You must know that Guo Shengtong gave birth to several children for Liu Xiu, and even the tenth son of the emperor was born to her.

However, Yin Lihua gave birth to her child very late, and her eldest son was the fourth among Liu Xiu's sons. No matter how you look at it, it was Guo Shengtong who was Emperor Guangwu's true love.

Anyway, after reading the history, Ling Xiao didn't feel how Emperor Guangwu had so much affection for his original wife, Yin Lihua. After he really had such affection, would he give up the title of Yin Lihua's wife so easily?cannot!
So when she heard someone say that Emperor Guangwu's true love was Yin Lihua, she felt a little speechless. Is this true love between Emperor Guangwu and Yin Lihua?I always feel that the so-called true love is too cheap.

She once saw a true love event that actually happened in history, and even the writers of the novel were shocked after reading it. Is this real history?Instead of a true love novel made up by someone?

The whole incident is really eye-opening, and ordinary novelists dare not write like this.And this kind of male pig's foot that appears in a true love novel is the historical celebrity Longkodo, and the true love in his heart is the concubine Si'er.

Longkodo's true love is a woman snatched from his father-in-law. Si'er, a woman who had a relationship with his father-in-law, did not know what kind of ecstasy drug Longkodo took, but was held in his hand and spoiled by himmore For 30 years, Longkodo's main wife has no status in front of Si Er.

Don't talk about being a regular wife, even Longkodo's own mother has nothing to do with her four sons.For Si'er, Longkodo can be said to have a purpose: Anyone who opposes him and Si'er must be a villain, and he must find a way to defeat him.

No matter how you look at it, you feel that Long Kedo is the male pig's feet in a true love novel, and Si'er is the kind of female pig's foot who still gets the true love of the male pig's feet. After reading it, you will only feel that this is true love.

A man like Longkodo is bad, if it is not worth promoting, then use another person for comparison.In Ling Xiao's heart, there is another man who is much more true than Emperor Guangwu's so-called true love.

That man is the same emperor as Emperor Guangwu, has the same occupation, and both have the surname Liu, so they are completely comparable.Of course, the two of them are emperors, living in the feudal era, it is impossible for them to be monogamous to the end.Between them and their wives, there is no such thing as a one-for-one couple, and they have the Sannomiya Sixth Court, which is the same for both of them.

But their attitudes towards whether the original partner can be a queen from the beginning are completely different, and the emperor who is compared with Emperor Guangwu is the famous Liu Bingji. This emperor who was born in a prison is still in the womb because his grandfather Because of Prince Li, almost the whole family died.

Because he escaped temporarily in his mother's womb, he was finally born in prison. He was obviously a direct descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he was living among the people and married Xu Pingjun.

Originally, he thought that his life could be normal like this, and he could grow old with his beloved wife, but he never thought that one day he would become the emperor.

The seemingly well-matched couple suddenly became too far apart, and Xu Pingjun's status fell a lot. Even though she and the emperor were once real couples, they were not a good match.

At this moment, Huo Guang's wife wanted to make her daughter a queen, so she naturally didn't want her original spouse to enter the palace. Even the original spouse was not the queen, the queen could only be her daughter.

But Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was unwilling, so he wanted his original wife to enter the palace. After he said a few words to the ministers, he came up with an idiom: Therefore, the sword is deeply affectionate.After this conversation, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty finally took his original partner into the palace and made him queen.

He thought that their family could live a good life in the palace. His wife was the most honorable woman in the dynasty, but he never expected that Empress Xu would be poisoned by Mrs. Huo Guang because she was in the way of Huo Guang's young daughter. kill.

After this time, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty realized that he was unable to protect his beloved wife, because the power in his hand could not compete with Huo Guang, so he had to make Huo Guang's daughter the queen.

But Emperor Xuan of the Han still hated his wife's death in his heart, but because he knew that he was not strong enough, he had to be submissive for the time being, but he did not let Empress Huo give birth to children, and finally kept Empress Xu's son and daughter.
Compared with Liu Bingji, I don't know what to say about the matter between Emperor Guangwu and Yin Lihua.In addition, in this marriage, both Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong were wronged.

From Ling Xiao's personal point of view, Emperor Guangwu's attitude towards Yin Lihua was not very good in his early years, because her eldest son was born relatively late and ranked fourth among Emperor Guangwu's sons.

How can a woman be considered unfavorable in the so-called imperial palace?To a large extent, it depends on whether the concubines have descendants?It would be best to see how many children she can produce.

It can be seen that Emperor Guangwu's statement that Yin Lihua is true love is not very reliable, and Emperor Guangwu cared more about Guo Shengtong in the early days.However, Yin Lihua was indeed more favored later on, maybe she could be a human being, and because of various reasons, the throne of queen fell into her hands.

But Guo Shengtong's treatment is really good, don't look at Emperor Guangwu abolishing Queen Guo's position as queen, but he asked the second prince, the eldest son of Yin Lihua, to take good care of the children of the abolished queen, and they have been doing well .

Guo Shengtong was even later named the Queen Mother of Zhongshan. The Guo family has always been treated preferentially by the emperor, and the position of queen was also abolished, but Guo Shengtong is definitely much better than Chen Ajiao.
