In fact, it is not easy for Doujia to go from the empress to the empress dowager, and then to the empress dowager. It is said that she experienced three great misfortunes in her life.
First, parents died young. Dou Fangyi lost his mother in his early years. During the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, his father died unfortunately, leaving Dou Hou with a brother and a younger brother. My brother's name is Dou Jianguo, and his personality is Chang Jun. My brother's name is Dou Guangguo, and his name is Shao Jun. They are all alone, struggling to live a miserable life. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, wars continued and people were displaced. Dou Shi and his brothers can hardly survive. In the early autumn of one year, all the food in the house was eaten up, and adzuki bean suddenly burst into tears. Eldest brother Dou Jianguo first held his sister's head in his arms to comfort him. Then he ran out of the house and dug out the sweet potato that had just grown to the size of a finger and might be bigger than a fist. It doesn't mature until autumn. When Dou Yi saw the room, he ran to the ground and picked up the sweet potato seedlings that his brother had just pulled out. When sweet potatoes are dry food and seedlings are vegetables, the three of us laughed while eating. In a few days, they ate all the sweet potatoes in the field. This is a year's ration after their family matures!
At this time, the court selected maids to enter the palace. On arriving at this village, Dou Yi's room was selected. Although Xiao Douyi's room was sallow and emaciated, it revealed a brilliant and intelligent appearance, so she was elected to the Han Palace.
Second, the sky is not what people want. During the reign of Lu in the early Han Dynasty, Dou was elected to the palace and became an ordinary maid-in-waiting.
After entering the palace, life is naturally much better than before. There is not only food here, but also clothes and work clothes in the palace. Dou thinks this is a far cry from the past. As the days passed, Dou thought he was going to spend his life in obscurity in Chang 'an Palace.
She didn't expect that at this time, she selected maids in the palace and gave them to the governors at that time. Each c-lords from all over the world can get five maids, and Dou Yi's room name is also on the selection list. Because the hometown of sinoatrial node belonged to Qinghe, Hebei Province, Zhao at that time, sinoatrial node, which was far away from home, especially wanted to take this opportunity to be assigned to Zhao, so that it could be closer to home. Actually, there is no need to consider the distance from home, because her parents died early, and when she left home, the two brothers fled to other places together.
However, Dou Fang still thinks so. It seems that being close to home is kind and reassuring. So Dou pleaded with the eunuch in charge of the appointment and said, "Please send me to see Zhao!" The eunuch in charge of distribution at that time also agreed. However, at the time of distribution, the eunuch in charge forgot Dou Fangyi's instructions and wrote Dou Fangyi's name on the list of distribution countries.
Dou doesn't want to go to Daiguo, because Daiguo is close to Xiongnu. In today's Shanxi, the sinus is not close to home, but farther and farther away from home. However, all this has been decided and cannot be changed. From that day on, Dou E wept bitterly, and Lacrimosa, with ten thousand unwilling hearts, reluctantly embarked on the road of national subjugation under the pressure of the consul.
After Dou and other five maids were assigned to Daiguo, only Dou was favored by Daiwang. Not long after, Dou gave birth to a daughter; Gave birth to the eldest son Liu Qi, the later emperor Han Jing; Later, she gave birth to her son Liu Wu, later Liang Xiaowang. The king of this generation, that is, the later Emperor China. After Emperor Wendi succeeded to the throne, he made Liu Qi a prince. A mother is expensive, and a meter is also the queen.
Every dark cloud has a silver lining. The little maid-in-waiting who left Chang 'an Palace with tears in her eyes returned to the original palace after more than ten years, and her identity has been very different. She became the mistress of the harem in the Han Dynasty from a little maid-in-waiting, and finally became the queen of the Han Dynasty.
Third, middle-aged blindness. When Dou became queen, she became seriously ill. Unfortunately, he is blind, so he is old and out of favor. However, Dou Hou is a virtuous and obedient person and is highly respected by ministers.
There are many beautiful women in the harem, and Emperor Wendi feels the same way. Among them, Mrs. Handan Shen and Yin Ji are favored, especially Mrs. Handan Shen. As a result, Mrs. Handan Shen never left Wendi's side, showing a sense of superiority, and even wanted to be an equal with Queen Dou.
On one occasion, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty took Empress Dou and Lady Shen into the palace. The seats arranged in advance are for Wendi and Queen Dou, and Mrs. Shen is sitting next to the Queen. Mrs. Shen usually takes advantage of Emperor Wen's favor and sits with Dou Hou in the palace. Dou Hou is generous and doesn't care. This time, Mrs. Shen wants to sit next to the queen. She felt ashamed and couldn't help being angry. Wendi was angry with Shenfu, flew into a rage and took Shenfu home.
When Wendi and Mrs. Shen were angered, Yuan Ang, the minister who contacted them, admonished Wendi: "I think the seating arrangement today is very reasonable. As the saying goes, when officials hear that they have a hierarchy, they will make peace. Although Mrs. Shen was deeply loved by the emperor, she was an orthodox lady after being named Dou Hou, and Mrs. Shen was a concubine. She has different identities. How can Mrs. Shen sit with Dou Hou? " Yuan Ang added: "Do you remember the story of' people'? Relying on Liu Bang's favor, Emperor Gaozu miraculously ousted Lu from the stage. After Liu Bang's death, Lu seized power and took cruel revenge on her, cutting off her limbs, gouging out her eyes and ears, making her deaf and dumb, turning her into a "crowd" and throwing her into the toilet. The fate of the miracle is tragic, and Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty could not bear to witness it. Lu's behavior is cruel, but she also has her own indiscretions. She doesn't observe her duties. If a person doesn't think about distant things, he will find sadness close at hand. The story of Luhe is a lesson from the past! " Yuan Ang said, and knelt down in front of Wendi and Mrs. Shen.
Wendi and Shenfu listened to Yuan Ang. At first, they looked at each other, and then they suddenly realized that their anger had disappeared. After Wendi's death, Dou Hou was in power, but he did not persecute other concubines in the harem. The harem under the command of Dou Hou has not been "squeezed out". At that time, Yuan Ang was loyal to his suggestion, one was to avoid "nuisance", and the other was to protect Dou Yi's room. Although Dou was blind and out of favor, her good character was highly praised by ministers at that time.
Although Dou went from the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager, her political foundation was not very solid, her political level was not very high, and she even had no characteristics. She didn't even make good use of Dou Ying.
As we know, Wei Qihou Dou Ying is the son of Dou Hou Cong Xiong and should be a very close person. Han Jingdi was drunk at a banquet and made a promise. A hundred years later, he passed the throne to his younger brother Liang Wang, saying, "Long live, and then pass it on to the king." This is Dou Hou's wish, and Dou Ying also knows that Dou Hou is running around for Li _ and trying his best to win it. However, when Jingdi's "promise" came out, Dou Ying was the first to jump out. At that time, he helped Zhan and immediately said to Emperor Han Jingdi: "The world belongs to the world, and the ancestors of the world belong to the world. It was handed down, and the Covenant of the Han Dynasty was there. Why can it be passed on to Liang?
After all, he is a man with political and military talents and the most capable person in Dou's family. When the seven countries with turmoil, Han Jing called Dou Ying into the palace to discuss countermeasures. Dou Ying doesn't want to take on heavy responsibilities any more. He made an excuse to say that he was ill and resolutely refused. At this time, Dou Hou was ashamed and realized that he was too harsh on Dou Ying, so he said to Han Jingdi, "The world is urgent, and Dou Ying can take this heavy responsibility." Emperor Han Jing appointed Dou Ying as a general to lead the counter-insurgency. So Dou Ying went out again and soon put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Emperor Han Jing rewarded his achievements and named him Dou Ying Wei Qihou.
At that time, Dou Hou also wanted to ease the contradiction with Dou Ying. Just then, it happened that the position of the prime minister of the imperial court was vacant. Dou Hou advised Han Jingdi to let Dou Ying be the prime minister, but Han Jingdi didn't do it. Dou Wuying was a prime minister when he was emperor, but Dou Ying loved Confucianism, but Dou Hou didn't like it, and it was later abolished. After Dou's death, he was killed innocently because he had a gap with Wu 'an Hou, the half-brother of Emperor Wu's biological mother, Queen Wang.
