Chapter 241 Queen's Crown

The First Emperor suddenly became energetic when he heard this.

He looked at Fusu: "The Queen Mother Xuan has made great contributions to Qin."

Fusu agreed with this point: "If Empress Dowager Xuan had not destroyed Yiqu, there would have been no Qin's eastward advance."

As Wuyou spoke, he turned on the computer and played the clips from the previously edited TV series.

"This is a TV series adapted and filmed by future generations based on the deeds of Queen Mother Qin Xuan. Let's take a look first."

The TV series progressed very quickly, and the clip was finished in about ten minutes. Wuyou continued: "The Queen Mother Qin Xuan, surnamed Mi, was born in Danyang of Chu State during the Warring States Period. She was also called Mi Bazi. She was the concubine of King Qin Huiwen, Qin Zhaoxiang. The Queen Mother is the first person in history to be called Queen Mother.”

"As for the name of Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin, there is no record in history. Because it is so old and cannot be verified, later generations created a name for her, called Miyue, and the title of Bazi is actually the title of the concubine in the harem of Qin State. The status is below the Queen, Madam, Beauty, and Beloved, and above the Seventh Son, Chief Envoy, and Young Envoy. It can be regarded as a rank that is neither high nor low."

"In 306 BC, King Wu of Qin died for lifting a tripod. King Wu was too young when he died and had no sons at all. His younger brothers began to compete for the throne."

"And during the Warring States Period, we also know that countries have been at war for who knows how many years. Anyway, if you beat me today, I will beat him the day after tomorrow. Not only do they fight, but the royal families of various countries also marry each other and make various investments in other countries. Sometimes at certain times, In order to compete for the throne, the princes of the country borrow troops from other countries. Anyway, it is the kind of relationship where you have me and you have me."

"At this time, when King Wuling of Zhao saw an opportunity coming, he wanted to invest in the battle for the throne of the King of Qin, so he sent Zhao Gu, the Prime Minister of Daijun, to return Yingji, who was still a hostage in Yan State, back to Qin country to fight for the throne.”

"Speaking of Ying Ji, we are no strangers to him. He is also an idiom maker. Moreover, this person is also called the Great Demon King of the Warring States Period by later generations. Think about it, the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan is already very extraordinary. Add another Known as the son of the Great Demon King of the Warring States Period, the mother and son joined forces, and those Qin masters were no match. Soon, Ying Ji ascended to the throne with the help of Empress Dowager Xuan's half-brother Wei Ran."

The First Emperor was speechless when he heard this.

"People in later generations really like to give people nicknames."

Fusu nodded: "Why do you call King Zhaoxiang the Great Demon King?"

The father and son thought about it over and over, but still couldn't quite figure it out.

They couldn't understand it, and the emperors of various dynasties naturally didn't understand it either.

If they don't understand, it won't stop them from watching the live broadcast, so they can just listen to Wuyou and continue talking.

"Ying Ji ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager Xuan began to rule. During her rule, she first married Yiqu, and then trapped and killed King Yiqu when Yiqu was unprepared. She defeated Yiqu in one fell swoop, so that the Qin State no longer had any worries. From now on, it can Concentrate on the road eastward.”

"When she came to power, the Qin State had a strong military force and gradually became the most powerful country among the seven kingdoms. However, in the later period, she became dictatorial and the entire Qin State only knew about the Queen Mother and the Four Nobles, but not about the King of Qin. Ying Ji would definitely not be able to tolerate this. Ah, later the Queen Mother was deposed and the four nobles were expelled from Xianyang."

"In 265 BC, Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin passed away and was buried in Lishan Mountain, Zhiyang."

"There is also a theory in later generations that the terracotta warriors and horses were actually created by the Queen Mother Xuan. This is a rumor and cannot be believed."

The First Emperor clenched his fist: "Of course I can't believe it. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were built under my order. How could they be built by Empress Dowager Xuan?"

After Wuyou finished talking about the Queen Mother, she paused for a while and continued: "In the Han Dynasty, there were also several very powerful female politicians. One of them was Empress Lu in the early Han Dynasty. She was the first Queen Mother to be crowned queen. This We have talked about it before, so we won’t repeat it here.” “There was another very powerful Queen Mother in the Western Han Dynasty, that was Queen Mother Dou. She was the wife of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the mother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. From empress to The empress dowager, and then the empress dowager, came into contact with the government during the reign of Emperor Wen, and took control of the government during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Before her death, she controlled the power in her own hands, and she was also a very powerful figure."

"Empress Dowager Dou was a native of Guanjin County, Qinghe County. The index of historical records written by Sima Zhen of the Tang Dynasty quoted Huangfu Miyan and called Empress Dowager Dou Yifang. This name has also been used in film and television dramas adapted by later generations."

"Empress Dowager Dou was born into a poor peasant girl. During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, she entered the palace to serve Empress Dowager Lu as a family member. The family member was what we call a palace maid. Later, she was given to Liu Heng, who was the acting king at the time, that is, Later Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty followed Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty to the Kingdom of Dai. At that time, there were four other maids given to him, but only Queen Mother Dou was favored by Liu Heng. During the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, she gave birth to a daughter for Liu Heng. Liu engaged in prostitution and gave birth to a son, Liu Qi."

"When Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, he made Liu Qi the prince and Empress Dowager Dou the queen. When Liu Qi succeeded to the throne, he honored Empress Dowager Dou as the queen mother, and Empress Dowager Dou began her career in power."

"She believed in the Huang-Lao theory and emphasized governing by inaction. She was the last person in power in the Han Dynasty who believed in the Huang-Lao theory. After her death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to power and began to pursue Confucianism..."

汉朝
Empress Dowager Dou was blind. She couldn't see, but she could hear. When she heard this, a smile appeared on her lips: "My whole life, among the immortals, I have only said these few words. Come to think of it, there are only a few words recorded in the history books." It’ll be shorter.”

The mood of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was much more complicated.

After getting rid of the oppression of the Empress Dowager, he began to take power, and he was excited at first. However, slowly, Liu Che, who was in power, began to understand the Empress Dowager.

Wuyou took a sip of water: "Next, we are going to talk about a queen mother. This is the queen mother of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She is known by later generations as the queen of Hexi, Deng Sui, who prospered and destroyed the country and inherited the title of peerless queen."

"Queen's crown?"

Under the canopy, almost all the concubines were stunned, and many queens were particularly unconvinced.

They thought they had done very well and had a reputation as a virtuous person. Why was Deng named the Queen's Crown by future generations?

These four words allowed Deng Sui to dominate all the queens.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty was very happy after hearing this.

He had long disliked Queen Yin and had already thought of abolishing her, but he had no excuse.

But now that he heard Tianmu praise Deng Sui, he made up his mind to abolish the Yin family as soon as possible and make Deng Sui his queen.

After hearing this, Deng Sui was not happy at all, but became more cautious.

Wuyou paused here: "There are too few film and television works about Queen Deng. Even if there is her, she is only a supporting role in other people's dramas as the protagonist, so we will not show the edited video."

"Queen Hexi, named Deng Sui, is the granddaughter of Deng Yu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She was elected to the palace in 95 AD. Because she was beautiful, she attracted everyone's surprise as soon as she came out of the palace. If others would have been stunned, but Deng Sui has a high emotional intelligence. She knows how to kill the first bird with a gun, so she is cautious as soon as she enters the palace. She has rules in everything, and she is even more attentive to Queen Yin."

"Other concubines are all dressed up magnificently, wearing all kinds of gold, silver and jade, but Deng Sui refuses these. Even for palace banquets, she wears simple clothes without any accessories. If she catches up with Queen Yin and wears the same color, When she was wearing clothes, she hurriedly changed her clothes. This really achieved an absolute low profile, not to scare Queen Yin, who is also a woman, and at the same time, she could leave a deep impression on the emperor."

"Later, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty gradually alienated Queen Yin and favored Deng Sui a lot. If it were someone else, he would probably start to be more aggressive and do all sorts of things based on his favor. But Deng Sui was more low-key and often stayed in the presence of Emperor Han He. When summoned, she complained of illness and often cried, saying she was worried about the emperor's heirs, so she selected beautiful women to serve the emperor. This was to share interests with others and form an alliance of interests, so that Queen Yin would be able to help her when she dealt with her."
