There is such a woman in history, she took 100,000 troops to be a dowry, and at the same time, with the help of the power of her mother's family to help her husband win the world, according to the reason, the husband will be better for her, but in the end it backfired, the woman's final fate is not good, but also people sigh.
One of the important reasons for this is that her husband had a white moonlight original match before marrying her, and she had a deep affection, so she became a little third. This woman with a bumpy experience is a famous figure in history, Guo Shengtong, and her husband is Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu was a descendant of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and during his birth, the world was already in chaos, when their family had fallen, and compared with other Liu clan children, it could be said that they were broken. In this case, for the sake of world peace, he and his brothers and some of nanyang's clan disciples raised an army, and these people still had a certain amount of power in their hands, and there were many soldiers and horses under them. In order to restore the Han Room, he fought against Wang Mang's army.
Liu Xiu's military talent was quite good, he won many victories in the war, and his prestige in the army was getting stronger and stronger, which laid the foundation for his final victory.
Guo Shengtong was born in the Guo family, this family history is very long, in the past was still a small country, so the family strength is very strong, but no matter how powerful the country has declined, not to mention that they have existed for thousands, at this time the Guo family is completely incomparable with the heyday, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in this chaotic world, they are still quite powerful.
Guo Shengtong's uncle Zhending Wang was far-sighted, and in order to better continue the power of his family, after many investigations, he took a fancy to Liu Xiu's strength and prepared to marry his niece Guo Shengtong to him. At that time, many people could not understand the operation of the Zhending King, such as the niece raised by the jewel, who was actually married to a peasant, which caused a lot of people to talk about it at that time, thinking that the Zhending King had looked away.
Liu Xiu's strength was not fully displayed at that time, after all, his performance to the world was relatively mediocre, at that time Guo Shengtong could be said to be married, in fact, at that time, Liu Xiu actually had a wife, and this wife was still very high in his heart, after all, this was his long-term crush and it was difficult to marry the wife.
Liu Xiu also said a sentence like this, "Marry a wife when marrying Yin Lihua", in this case, it seems quite difficult to let Liu Xiu marry another person.
Since King Zhending had already chosen Liu Xiu, he would certainly not give up, and in order to make him his niece and son-in-law, he still showed his sincerity, and the dowry of his niece was his 100,000 elite soldiers. This was extremely tempting for Liu Xiu, and at that time, there were many men's three wives and four concubines, and marrying such a child could get such a great help, who would refuse? Liu Xiu unsurprisingly agreed.
For Guo Shengtong, she was inexplicably promised to a strange man, but what could be done? The words of the parents are matched, and there is no room for refusal. Fortunately, Liu Xiu is quite handsome, and for her dowry, it is still very good for her, during this period, they both gave birth to five sons, for Guo Shengtong, this period of time should be the happiest in life.
With the help of the Guo Shengtong family, coupled with Liu Xiu's outstanding military talent, for a while, the power soared, the war was won one after another, and in the second year after their marriage, Liu Xiu ascended the throne and established a new Han dynasty, known in history as the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In order to thank the Guo family and Guo Shengtong for their help, for their family to carry out a large-scale reward, Guo Shengtong was also made empress, if according to this trend, Guo Shengtong should be a happy ending, but the opposite happened, Liu Xiu's feeling that I have made you an empress, very sorry for Yin Lihua, so I will do my best to be good to Yin Lihua.
Guo Shengtong's life became more and more difficult, his husband jun was as good as other women in front of everyone, and how could he be happy with his own coldness. During this period, she made a lot of efforts, but all failed, and over time, there were many complaints, and later Guo Shengtong was deposed, and Yin Lihua was made the new empress.
In fact, Guo Shengtong was deposed, it is not so simple, it is not Liu Xiu's emotional use, after all, to achieve the level of the emperor, every step he does will be far-sighted, abolishing Guo Shengtong's empress position, can vigorously reduce the guo family's power, can take back the power, this is probably the imperial means.
