There were strict restrictions on women's words and deeds in ancient society, which bound most women's thoughts and cognition, but a large number of women dared to break through themselves and break through the shackles of feudal thought, leaving a strong color in the long river of history! There are female generals Hua Mulan who joined the army for their father, and powerful queens of various dynasties. Today we will talk about which empress dowager was the best in ancient history.
First, Yan Bazi, the queen of Qin Dynasty, initiated the dictatorship of consorts.
In 306 BC, he died lifting a tripod, and his youngest son was Qin. Because the king was young, Xu Antai, the wife of Qin, managed state affairs as the empress dowager. She is the first Empress Dowager in the history of China to step onto the political stage, setting a historical precedent for the exclusive rights of consorts. The title of Queen Mother was also used from her. In the post-ruling period, Qin rarely took the initiative to wage war with foreign countries, but paid attention to improving diplomatic relations with the six eastern countries. Stabilizing people's livelihood and paying attention to economic development eliminated the hidden danger in the west of Qin State-the Yiqu of Qin Kingdom, which made Qin Guodong have no worries and laid a solid military and economic foundation for Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin.
In his later years, he reused his younger brother Wei Ran, Mi Rong's biological children, Gong Zi Fu and Gong Zi Fu, and started the first era of consorts' autocracy in China history-SiGui autocracy, which formed the situation that Qin people only knew SiGui but didn't know the king of Qin.
Second, Lv Zhi, Lv Hou of Han Dynasty, inherited the throne of Xu Antai, the wife of Qin Dynasty, and initiated the dictatorship of Dou Taihou.
Lv Zhi, the wife of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, was the first empress dowager recorded in detail in the history of China. It was also the first woman to enter politics after Qin Shihuang established the emperor system. Lv Zhi took the power of consorts to the extreme. In eight years, he successively established three emperors, Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty and Emperor Shao of Han Dynasty, abolished the official position of high-impedance cronies, and promoted them to be left prime ministers. Lu's children have bold names, Lu Tai and Lu Chan. Lv Lu was made Prince of Zhao, and Lu Tai's son was also made Prince of Yan. In order to prevent accidents, all military power was handed over to the descendants of Lujia.
Han Dynasty is the second dynasty established in Chinese history, which inherited the Qin system. Many political thoughts in the Han Dynasty were centered on the thought of Qin State. Liu Bang, the great ancestor, inherited the last wish of Qin State to govern the world, and it was Lv Hou who inherited this idea. During the reign of Lv Hou, the state has been implementing the national policy of "governing by doing nothing and putting people first", encouraging people to restore the economy, abolishing the book burning order made by Qin Shihuang and restoring folk classics.
In 179 BC, Liu Heng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, creating the first prosperous period in the history of China-the rule of Wenjing. His appearance showed us another brave woman-Dou Taihou.
Third: Dou Fangyi, the second empress and empress dowager in the history of Han Dynasty, is also the first empress dowager in the history of China.
Dou E's family was originally a civilian. When he was young, he entered the palace to dress Lv Hou. Later, it was given to the acting king by Empress Lu, and gradually became the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager.
Her life has experienced three generations: Emperor Wendi, Emperor Jingdi and Emperor Wudi, and the most developed three dynasties in the Han Dynasty. After her husband Liu Heng died, her son Liu Qi succeeded to the throne. Honoring her as the empress dowager. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Dou Taihou kept the emperor in check with the skill of Huang Lao, and this thought continued until Emperor Wu came to power. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dou Taihou often listened to politics on the grounds that the emperor was young. Unwilling to delegate power to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Dou Taihou experienced three dynasties, during which there was no mass slaughter and the situation was relatively stable, which brought the inaction thought formulated by Emperor Gaozu to the extreme.
Fourth, sourdrang dowager's Jade Son trained and assisted two monarchs, the emperor shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi, all his life.
In ancient times, people said that the mother's children were precious, and Xiaozhuang was originally a concubine who served Huang Taiji with her aunt, because she gave birth to Prince Fu Lin and had her own place in the palace. Later, with the help of Dourgen, at the age of six, she became the Queen Mother of Notre Dame, the same clan as Empress Xiaowen, and Kangxi was honored as the Empress Dowager. No matter after Kangxi ruled Ao Bai or later pacified San Francisco, sourdrang queen gave him pertinent advice and support.
Unfortunately, there are only a few words about women in history. From the history books, we simply know their lives, but have no specific deeds, which is a great loss for us.
At present, what we have learned from various film and television dramas is only a little superficial. People themselves are a complex and contradictory group and cannot be judged unilaterally. Film and television dramas only show historical figures from different angles. The director's judgment and cognition of the ancients also affects his works, thus affecting us.
