In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Zhang Emperor Liu Ju was cruising outside and was attracted by a chic manor. This manor does not have the luxury of the gold and jade at that time, but it reflects the quiet and chic everywhere, which is really eye-catching. Emperor Zhang of Han ordered the people to slow down the speed of the car, admired it outside the garden with taste, and casually asked The Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Dou Xian: Who is this?
At the moment, Dou Xian did not dare to make a sound, because this manor was his own. Tiger Ben Zhonglang will be the direct commander of the Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army, specifically responsible for guarding the safety of Tianzi, and with his economic strength, it is completely affordable. What's more, Dou Xian also had the identity of Emperor Zhang's brother-in-law, and his sister Dou Shi was the empress at this time.
If this was the case, why didn't Dou Xian dare to admit it? It turned out that this manor was not glorious. This was something that Dou Xian had taken from Liu Zhi, the Princess of Qinshui, at a very low price. Emperor Zhangdi of Han and Princess Qinshui were both sons and daughters of Emperor Ming of Han, and he lent Dou Xian a few guts before he dared to tell Emperor Zhangdi of Han?
Emperor Hanming had a total of 11 daughters, which was the most beautiful and most loved by this Qinshui princess. Han Dynasty beauties abounded, but the beauty of Princess Qinshui was outstanding and distinctive. Legend has it that she was dignified and beautiful, graceful, and did not smile. In her life, she has not smiled in front of outsiders several times, and is a typical cold beauty.
This is exactly the same as King Zhou You's pet Ji Ji, who does not like to laugh, and when she laughs, she is naturally overwhelmed by the country. In order to make his daughter happy, Emperor Hanming went to great lengths to find a bamboo forest on the north bank of the Qin River, thirty miles northeast of Qinyang City. This bamboo forest is surrounded by mountains and rivers, bright and quiet, and it is really a good land. The Han Ming Emperor spent a thousand laborers and lasted a month to create this unique manor for his daughter, and named it Qinyuan.
This manor is also the dowry prepared by Emperor Hanming for Princess Qinshui. Soon after, he married the princess to Deng Qian, the Marquis of Gaomi. Deng Qian was the eldest grandson of Deng Yu, the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the head of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai. Such an arrangement shows how much Emperor Hanming attaches importance to this princess.
However, just over a decade later, the manor where the princess was used as a dowry was actually taken away by the uncle Dou Xian. The history books do not record what kind of means Dou Xian used to succeed, presumably to take advantage of the danger of others and do their best to seize the power of plunder. Why Dou Xian dared to do this was not the support of the empress. (Xian Gong Gong Tuo Tuo took the momentum, so he asked to take the Qinshui Princess Yuan Tian with a lowly request - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty")
However, in this process, the princess was obviously bullied, but she did not dare to speak out, let alone complain to Emperor HanZhang. Maybe her personality itself was so weak, maybe Dou Xian was too stubborn, maybe she didn't want the empress dowager to be discordant. In short, she was regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand by the former emperor, and she actually swallowed her anger and calmed down.
Speaking back to Emperor Zhang of Han, he saw that Dou Xian had not answered for a long time, and his heart was very confused. Dou Xian was also embarrassed, he said truthfully that he was afraid of involving the princess, and if he did not say it, he was afraid of the crime of deceiving the king, and he immediately sweated like rain. The tiger next to him was ready to speak for him, but Dou Xian secretly looked at him and suppressed his men.
Emperor Han Zhangdi saw their expressions like this, although he did not know it, but the interest of playing was immediately cold, said a word back to the palace, and hurriedly entered the carriage.
He did not forget this matter, and later after investigation, he learned that the owner of Qinyuan was originally Dou Xian, and also learned the whole incident. Enraged, he summoned Dou Xian and scolded him to the point of bloodshed. Although Dou Xian prostrated his head and apologized, he failed to calm emperor Zhangde's anger. It was still Empress Dou who heard about this and hurriedly rushed to put on the clothes of the next person to make reparations to Emperor Zhang of Han, so as to calm the anger of Tianzi.
However, Emperor Zhang of Han still asked Dou Xian to return the manor to the princess, and he was never reused thereafter. Later generations of literati lamented that the allusions of Qinyuan also began to form and appeared in various notes. In the Tang Dynasty, "Qinyuan" entered the field of music and formed the famous word brand "Qinyuan Spring".
As for Dou Xian, it seems that there has been no convergence since then. After the death of Emperor Zhang of Han, Empress Dou was promoted to empress dowager, and after taking over real power, he played more and more, and even assassinated Liu Chang and married Cai Lun. In order to make meritorious contributions, he requested to go to the Northern Xiongnu, and he was bold and arrogant to accidentally defeat the Northern Xiongnu, and the credit was no less than that of Wei Qing and Huo. The Northern Xiongnu never dared to spy on the Han Dynasty again, went far away to Europe, and killed local chickens and dogs.
In the end, Dou Xian was still too big to play, and even had the ambition to usurp the throne, and was discovered by Emperor Han and Emperor in time to commit suicide. It is a pity that such an outstanding general ended up like this.
