Whenever people mention Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, most cannot overlook Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong.
Most people just go along with the popular opinion, thinking Guo Shengtong was a sacrificial pawn, while Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu shared the kind of love fit for an emperor.
I've never agreed with the idea that Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu shared so-called true love. But that doesn't mean he didn't love Yin and only loved Guo instead.
For an emperor, it isn't a matter of one or the other. Even if there was some affection, Yin Lihua was still a long way from happiness.
I wrote this story simply to tell everyone that historically, Guo Shengtong was no sacrificial pawn or mere spectator to an eternal love story. Her presence was impossible to ignore.
If a woman spent sixteen years as empress, keeping her romantic rival in check for all sixteen years, and bore five children, all of whom except her eldest outlived her rival's children and did quite well for themselves; if she received enough money in her divorce settlement to live on for hundreds of years, became Queen Dowager while her ex-husband was still alive, and no longer had to endure her rival's oppression; if her son also gained many benefits and her maternal family was properly taken care of, then her divorce settlement was beyond belief.
Her ex-husband even compensated her maternal family so generously that they were known as the "Golden Cave." Though her rival became empress, she couldn't celebrate and still had to be cautious. She never got to enjoy much in life because of her reputation for frugality, and before her ex-husband died, he even warned her not to follow in the footsteps of Empress Lu and Huo Guang's wife. Her rival's son also had to treat her children and maternal family as well as he had when his father was alive. By any measure, she lived a remarkable life.
Theme:
I have given birth to so many children, and if I don't love them, even I, Yin Lihua, will not believe that there is no fault or fault when the emperor is deposed, there are reasons, so there is no compensation. Guo Shengtong has no one to support him in the court, and he does not need to show off to the world, nor does he need to take care of him for so long, so I still believe that deposing the queen is a helpless move in a specific history.
Forget it, if the compensation is to love her, then Liu Qiang D probably loves his ex-wife very much, and Murdoch also loves his ex-wife very much. Those who are willing to spend most of their wealth to divorce their ex-wives and marry again probably all love their ex-wives so deeply that it is difficult for others to understand. True love is a status that gives the other person a sense of security. It is a status that allows the other person to stand by his or her side in a just and upright way. It is a partner who can advance and retreat hand in hand with confidence. It is the same for men and women. No matter how generous you are, no matter how much you compensate, no matter how much you promote, no matter how many external things you give, it can't compare to "I am the husband and you are the wife, holding hands throughout life, and sleeping together forever after a hundred years." No matter how beautiful and good it is, the queen is the queen, the wife is not the wife, the rewards and the leniency are all out of the guilt of the queen without any reason. After all, letting people go out for no reason, and bullying other people's mother, son, mother-in-law and adding insult to injury, then it is not Liu Xiu who falls into the inferior category. After all, Liu Xiu was an affectionate king who governed the country with judo, so he could also treat his cousin leniently.
Liu Xiu was also a kind emperor. He worked hard to balance the status of his two wives, but his edict to abolish the queen was so ruthless. I am also surprised. If he felt guilty and loving towards Guo Shengtong, the edict was not used. It's written so harshly, it's like a slap in the face. If I were Guo Shengtong, I would be so angry that I would vomit blood. Anyway, Liu Xiu is Guo Shengtong. When he is the queen, he supports the Yin family. When Yin Lihua is the queen, he supports the Guo family. The art of balancing is good.
In fact, what you wrote is a rehash of old clichés. I have read them many times in other places. The examples of rebuttal by Yin Lihua fans are similar to these. Listing them separately, I feel that Queen Guo Shengtong is more aggrieved, and Yin Lihua is also aggrieved. The only winner is Liu Xiu. Both women are It's very pitiful to be evaluated thousands of years later. Who is the true love? True love slaps you in the face and so on. Why do women bother women? Neither of the two women is true love. Imperial power is the emperor's true love. However, because Yin Lihua is the original wife, she has the last laugh, which is more in line with the Chinese people's yearning for perfection.

I cannot agree with the author's point of view: the more compensation, the deeper the relationship. In particular, most of the so-called compensation is money and other external things. If this logic can be established, then don't those men who left home after divorce have deep feelings for their ex-wives? Then why divorce?
Compensation is compensation. It is compensation for one's mistakes and the harm caused to the other party. If we have to talk about "emotion", it also refers to guilt, which has little to do with the so-called love.

I'm not a fan of Yin, and I think neither woman is a winner. Liu Xiu is a qualified emperor. I feel that the author is a fan of Guo, and doesn't like articles that comment on history with strong bias. And no matter what, Yin Lihua is the original wife, and I think she deserves more sympathy. Guo Shengtong is a victim of the family, but the ending is okay.
