Life of Empress Dou in Han Dynasty
Dou Taihou in the Western Han Dynasty, whose legendary name is Dou, was the queen and mother of the Western Han Dynasty. He was born in poverty and was elected to the palace. When distributing some ladies-in-waiting to princes, Dou was distributed to Emperor Wendi. He and Emperor Wendi have a daughter and two men. His eldest son, Liu Qi, was later Emperor Han Jingdi, and his youngest son, Liu Wu, was his favorite. Born in Dou Taihou (205 BC-BC 135), with unknown name. Legend has it that Fang Yi and Fang Yi were born in Guanjin, Qinghe County (now Wuyi County, Hebei Province). Dou's family was born in poverty. Her father fell into the river and died, leaving three orphans. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, the court called Qinghe. Han was a maid-in-waiting of the Han Palace. She was recruited into the Han Palace as a family member and served beside her, becoming the maid-in-waiting of the first mistress. Lv Zhi, the offspring palace, is known as the empress dowager who manipulates state affairs. At that time, several maids were chosen for the King of Qi, five of whom were Dou. Dou lives in Qinghe, near Zhao, and hopes to go to Zhao. She asked the eunuch in charge of sending maids to put her name on the roster to go to Zhao. The eunuch forgot about it when distributing maids and mistakenly put her name on the national roster. So she went to Daiguo. Although this is not her wish, thirteen-year-old Dai Wang Liu Heng likes to be called a beauty after arriving in Dai Guo. Liu Heng, the first king to enter the palace, had a queen. After the queen died of illness, Dou Renmei, the only lucky king in the imperial court, was made queen. During the imperial rule, she first gave birth to a daughter Liu Pu with Liu Heng, and later gave birth to two sons: the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Wu. Lv Hou died in 180 BC, and Liu Heng, the king of the country, ascended the throne. Dou returned to the Han Palace as the acting queen, and was made queen in the first year of Wendi in BC 179. After the death of Empress Dowager Wendi, Dou Fangyi began his career of governing the country until his death.
