"Xiaoping Tells You History" Live Room
A woman is sitting upright, smiling at the camera and saying:

"Hello, everyone, I'm Xiaoping, some time ago, many fans have been asking me to do a historical commentary video about the Shangzhen Qinghuang Empress Guangwu.

Since it is the request of the fans, the anchor must of course satisfy it, but the history of Empress Guangwu is too legendary, there are many official and unofficial histories, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

So I spent a lot of time collecting and sorting out data and making comparisons, which has been delayed until today.

Even so, I can't vouch for its accuracy.

Some of the content is even my guess, so don't take it too seriously, after all, I am not a professional.

To be honest, it's better to listen to the story. "

"Now back to the topic.

Let me first give you a rough introduction to the life of the empress, and then pick some important events to focus on.

Empress Guangwu was born in the Lin family of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Her father was Tanhualang Lin Ruhai, and her mother was Jia Min, the youngest daughter of Duke Rong's family.

Lin Daiyu has been quite miraculous since she was a child. When she was five years old, the century-old pomegranate tree in her family became a spiritual spirit, and she was accepted as a disciple. Since then, she has traveled to the kingdom of God every day and studied hard.

Is it true or not, let's not debate for now.

But this is indeed recorded in official history.

And there are quite a few legends about the Pomegranate God, so let's take it as true for the time being, so that we can continue talking about it later.

At the 15-year-old Jiji ceremony, the Pomegranate God floated up and gave Daiyu two gifts. It is said that one is called Langya Pavilion, which contains thousands of books in the world, and the other is called Tianmen Orb. If you are a disaster, you can use the blood of the descendants of the Lin family to open the orb and be sheltered.

It's hard to say whether it's true or not, after all, no one has seen it, but people at that time believed it very much. In the words of the capital tabloids, from the prince to the son of a noble minister, anyone who is of the right age will try to pursue it. Daiyu, but Daiyu refused one by one.

This is actually contrary to the common sense at the time. Generally speaking, women at that time paid attention to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, but no matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, it can be seen that Daiyu seemed to have absolute autonomy in marriage at that time. Her parents did not interfere. Not even the emperor interfered.

All the unreasonable phenomena, on the contrary, only everyone fears the Pomegranate God, or thinks that the Pomegranate God is real, and Daiyu, who is known as the Pomegranate God's disciple.

are privileged to a certain extent.

In the next few years, many people should have withdrawn from the pursuit of Daiyu one after another. Only one person has been consistent, and that is the Ninth Prince, Tu Huaixia. He persisted for nine years and finally moved Lin Daiyu. And only one year after the wedding, he had the crystallization of love, and at the same time he was promoted from prince to prince.

No matter how I look through the history books, I haven't seen from some previous historical records that there is anything special about this Ninth Prince, or that he has made any great contributions. Indeed, he became a prince, and the officials did not object too much.

At this time, it is still necessary to assume that the Pomegranate God is real.

Then it seems more reasonable.

A prince who is married to the only disciple of the gods becomes the emperor, and he will definitely be protected by the gods. As long as he is not a tyrant or a fool, he will always be able to keep his success.

Therefore, all officials did not object to making him the crown prince.

It seems more reasonable.

But no matter whether the Ninth Prince's feelings for Daiyu are true or not, how much of it is true, and how much of it is because he thinks that after marrying Daiyu, he can be a prince, but at least he has fulfilled his promise, a couple for life No matter whether he became the crown prince or ascended the throne nine years later, until his death, Daiyu was the only one in him, and there was never any record of the idea of ​​taking concubines.

And the couple had six children.

It can also be seen that they really love each other.

Tu Huaixia ascended the throne at the age of 35, and Lin Daiyu became the queen this year, but before she became the queen, her reputation and deeds were already enormous, so many that it is unimaginable, let me list them for you.

Lin's firm was established when she was 15 years old. When she became a queen, the annual income of Lin's firm had exceeded 3000 million taels of silver, while the treasury revenue was 4000 million taels at that time.

Lin's College was established by her when she was 16 years old. It was established after Lin's business started to make a profit. At first, it taught enlightenment and literacy, and later added some skills to teach it. It became the earliest vocational and technical school in history, and then added medicine one after another. , science and engineering, mechanical and chemical engineering, etc., has been hailed as the world's first comprehensive university, the cradle of scientific and technological civilization and so on.

It is said that Lin Daiyu provided all the college textbooks, but Lin Daiyu has always denied that she wrote those books, only saying that she was given to her by her teacher. Some people think that she is humble, and some people think it is true.

For Lin Daiyu, becoming a queen is a watershed in her life. Although she has done a lot of things before, she is still relatively limited. At most, Lin's firm is more inclined to recruit female employees in many industries. Women's enrollment and so on.

The queen's status brought more rights to Lin Daiyu. She began to try to use her little power to change the status of women in the world. For example, she started to build a factory that only recruited female workers.

A dedicated women's college is opened.

In addition, she tried to do a lot, but soon she found that her power was not enough, and the privilege of the queen was not enough for her to fight against the secular society.

There are many things that even the queen can't do.

For example, when a woman is reconciled, she personally intervenes to help the woman reconcile, but many officials scold her for destroying family harmony.

She found that after she became a queen, she seemed to have more power, but more constraints. Those ministers impeached her at every turn and bound her hands and feet with them.

Perhaps it was at that time that Lin Daiyu had an idea of ​​imperial power for the first time. She didn't simply love power, she just wanted to use power to do what she wanted to do, and wanted to change the world after gaining supreme power. Break down the rotten old social system.

Recreate her ideal world.

It can be seen from the history books that Lin Daiyu was very active in the first two years of becoming a queen, and then she fell silent. However, after a careful analysis of the identities and backgrounds of some officials in the court ten years later, it can be seen that many young officials came from Lin Daiyu. It's not that Lin Daiyu didn't do nothing in the school, she just changed from doing things on the bright side to doing things secretly, and developing her own power. "
