According to historical records, Yin Lihua was the second queen and original wife of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and she was loved and respected by Liu Xiu all her life. So what is Yin Lihua like in history?

Yin Lihua was born in Xinye, Henan Province in the fifth year. His family is very rich in the local area, and his ancestors can be traced back to Guanzhong in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yin Lihua received a good education in a family with a long history and wealth, and a large number of people sought to marry him as an adult. Yin Lihua's beauty was also praised by people at that time.

Marrying Liu Xiu, whose family was poor at that time, was a turning point in Yin Lihua's life and the beginning of her fate being rewritten. After the marriage, they fell in love with each other very much, but Liu Xiu was later sent by the court to suppress the rebels, and they separated. At that time, in troubled times and wars, Yin Lihua was even ready for her husband to die for his country. But never imagined that what was waiting for her was that her husband became the head of a country, with new women and children around him. Yin Lihua became attached to Luoyang Palace through Liu Xiu. When they met, things had changed.

Emperor Guangwu was obsessed with Yin Lihua and wanted to make him the queen. But Yin Lihua refused several times, thinking that she was not as good as Guo Shengkun, who had been with her husband, and Guo Shengkun had already given birth to her eldest son there. At Yin Lihua's insistence, Emperor Guangwu could only make Guo Shengtong the queen and his son Liu Jiang the prince. It can be seen from this incident that Yin Lihua is broad-minded, can proceed from national affairs, and will not do whatever he wants under the favor of Liu Xiu.

At that time, Liu Xiu's regime was not completely stable. Yin Lihua followed Liu Xiu and witnessed the rise of this dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yin Lihua, the original wife of Guangwu Emperor, and Yin Lihua's children, who were later named Empress, were the love of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's life. Yin Lihua and Emperor Guangwu had five sons and one daughter before their death, and all of them were alive except the fourth son, Liu Heng, who died young.

Yin Lihua's eldest son is Liu Yang, and Liu Yang's birth is legendary. At that time, the world was not completely stable. When Emperor Guangwu went to war, he joined the army with his pregnant wife Yin Lihua. Their eldest son, Liu Yang, was born on March 16. According to historical records, Liu Yang was a baby at that time, and he looked very much like Yao Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Xiu liked him very much after he was born and named him Liu Yang? Yang? . In the 19th year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu deposed the former Prince and changed Liu Yang to the Prince. Yang? What's this word? Zhuang? Words. After the death of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Liu Zhuang became emperor, known as Emperor Hanming in history. Known as a wise king, he started with his successors? Zhang Ming's rules? .

The second son, Liu Cang, was always appreciated by his father, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and was named Dongping King. Liu Cang is regarded as a wise king in history. He is fond of poetry and eager to learn, and often exhorts the emperor to care for the people. Brother Liu Zhuang assisted the emperor after he ascended the throne, and contributed his own strength to the prosperous times at that time.

Her third son, Liu Jing, is contrary to his brothers, arrogant and good at playing politics. First, he encouraged Liu Jiang, the former prince, to rebel, and then he was reported to Ming Chengzu by Liu Jiang, and failed. Ming Di thought he was the brother of a female compatriot, and he was very tolerant, but he just demoted him to Guangling King. After that, he committed three and five rebellions, but Ming Di made him a brother. After the death of his mother Yin Lihua, Liu Jing publicly cursed Ming Di and committed suicide after the curse was exposed.

According to historical records, Yin Lihua also had a son named Liu Jing, who was the filial king of Langxie. He is docile, good at literature and deeply loved by Emperor Guangwu.

Yin Lihua's only daughter, Princess Nie Yang, married the Duke of Xian Qin and was the only surviving princess.
