Dou was born in Guanjin County, Qinghe County in the early years of Emperor Gaozu. Her father died when she was very young because she accidentally fell into the river, leaving her and two brothers, Dou Changjun and Dou. Because my father died young, life at home was very difficult.
About the last years of Emperor Gao, the imperial court went to Qinghe County to recruit good women (called family members) from the people to enter the palace to wait on the concubines in the harem, clean up and be on duty. In order to reduce the burden, the young Dou volunteered and was elected to the palace. So, she said goodbye to her brother with tears, went to Chang 'an and entered the palace to be an ordinary maid-in-waiting.
After entering the palace, Dou was very lucky. With her excellent appearance and intelligent personality, she was chosen to be sent to the palace of Queen Lu to take charge of the daily affairs of the Queen. Here, he observed Lv Hou's actions and quickly changed his attitude and mood according to his own mood to cater to the service.
Over time, Lv Hou was very satisfied with the cleverness of this little maid-in-waiting, and she was also very fond of Dou Yi's room. She is often asked to handle some private affairs for herself, and there are many rewards. Dou's life is rich and carefree.
In addition, Lv Hou's extraordinary ability to handle political affairs and participate in state affairs, and Dou Fangyi, who served her at close range, learned a lot through long-term contact. At this time, Dou's vision and knowledge are not comparable to those of the little girl who just entered the palace.
In the 12th year of Gaudi (BC 195), Gaudi Liu Bang died and Chu Jun won the throne, that is, the Han Dynasty. Lv Hou was upgraded to Lv Hou, and actually held the power of state affairs and family affairs.
In order to win over the governors of the Han Dynasty and better supervise and understand them, in three years (BC 192), Lv Hou arranged for the palace maids to leave the palace and go to the princes' kingdom. Nominally, it is a beautiful concubine for these emperors, and secretly it is also a task to report the movements of the kings at any time. As Lv Hou's personal maid, Dou E's injustice is naturally among them.
I have been in the palace for many years, and now I have a chance to leave the palace. The young Dou was actually very happy, giving him a chance to return to his hometown and meet his brothers. Because Qinghe County is in Zhao, in order to be able to go back to his hometown, Dou sent a gift to the official in charge of distributing the list of ladies-in-waiting given by various governors, telling him to remember to put his name on the list of going to Zhao.
But things are unpredictable, and I don't know why. At the time of formal arrangement, Shawn Dou's room didn't get what he wanted, and he didn't go to Zhao, but was placed on the list of going to the countryside!
The sinus that got the news was too painful to speak. Because Daiguo Mountain is far away, there is almost no chance to come back, which means that he and his relatives in his hometown have almost cut off the opportunity to meet again.
Although sad, the fact cannot be changed. So, thousands of reluctant sinus had to follow the motorcade of the imperial envoys and set foot on the road to Daiguo. As a gift for Lv Hou to woo the king, they entered Daiwangfu and became the harem concubines of Daiwang.
The fourth son of Gaudi, Wang, was born in four years (203 BC) and was named Liu Heng. Ji Bo, the biological mother of Dai Wang, turned out to be the concubine of Wei Wangbao. After Gao destroyed Wei, he was taken back to the harem.
Because she is the enemy's concubine, Ji Bo's position in Gaudi's harem is not high, and she is not loved at ordinary times, and even her son is not taken seriously. Therefore, the mother and son of Daiwang have developed a low-key, cautious, gentle and practical character.
In the 11th year of Emperor Gaudi (BC 196), Liu Heng was awarded the title of acting king at the age of eight and went to his place to become a vassal. In the 12th year of Gaudi (BC 195), Emperor Liu Bang died, and Lv Hou wantonly retaliated against Gaudi's favorite concubines. Only the mother of Liu Heng, the king of the generation, was not loved. She kept a low profile and never made trouble. Lv Hou was very sympathetic and pitied her. Instead of persecuting her, she was specially allowed to leave the palace and live in her son's country, giving her a title as the queen mother. This is also a true portrayal of the gentle and humble character of the mother and son of Daiwang.
After arriving in Daiguo, Dou and other five ladies-in-waiting entered Daiguo Palace as concubines according to the imperial edict of Lv Hou to serve Daiguo King. Dai Wang went to San Francisco alone at the age of eight, lost his father at the age of nine, and his parents died young and traveled thousands of miles. Because of life, both of them are small and cautious, gentle and practical characters.
Therefore, in a similar background, only 14-and 15-year-old sinus with similar age has similar fate and personality. After getting to know each other, they have a feeling of meeting each other for a long time, and both sides love each other very much. Among the five ladies-in-waiting, Dou Fangyi was especially favored by Dai Wang.
In this way, two people with different social status actually have feelings different from ordinary people. Unlike Wang and Dou, they both feel that the other person can be entrusted and confided.
Dou gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Daiguo. After the hardships of her youth, she is very satisfied with the rich life now. In addition to taking care of the children and serving the country, she is also respectful, disrespectful and conceited to the Queen Mother Bo and the Queen Lu (the daughter of Queen Lu) in the palace.
Dou's humble and low-key attitude made Daigong people praise him. Her life is simple and comfortable. Dou has nothing to worry about except sometimes missing his brother in Zhao. Living in the country in this way is a quiet life.
In the last years of Lv Hou, the acting queen Lu died of illness. It turns out that the acting queen mother Bo intends to make the acting Wang Li Dou Yi the new queen. However, Wang's generation, who had been cautious all his life, disagreed, and Dou himself refused. Because they know that Lv Hou is the daughter of Lv Hou, if she dies, the acting king will immediately be replaced by someone else as the new queen, so it is inevitable that Lv Hou will be jealous and hit. You can learn from the mistakes of the brothers Zhao * * * Wang and Zhao Liu.
(Both Liu Hui and Liu You offended Lv Hou, so one committed suicide and the other was put under house arrest and starved to death. Speaking of which, Dou would also like to thank the person who was not firm in handling affairs that year and let her mistakenly go to Zhao as an official. If you go to Zhao, according to the tragic fate of the three princes of Zhao before and after, it is estimated that Dou would have been accused of implicating others.
In August of the eighth year of Lv Hou (BC 180), Lv Hou, who had been in charge of state affairs for fifteen years, died. After her death, the old minister of the founding of the People's Republic of China competed with the Lu family for the power of the imperial court. Finally, the elders won and destroyed the Lu family.
Later, because the reigning puppet emperor was a descendant of Lu (the son, the grandson of Lv Hou), in order to eliminate hidden dangers, the emperor of Lu descent must not be allowed to continue to reign, so the old ministers decided to choose the right person from other descendants and join the Great Unity.
In the selection of the new emperor, Wang's generation took good care of his mother's family (the mother's family was low-key, introverted and never had any evil deeds), acted cautiously and had a long sequence (it was * * * eight sons, and only Wang's generation and Huainan Wang were alive at this time, that generation. King Qi, the grandson of Gaudi, was excluded because he was a grandson and his mother was fierce. He got the support of all the ministers and unanimously decided that the acting king would inherit the throne and go to Beijing to reign!
As a result, the honest and cautious king Liu Heng was smashed by the golden pie falling from the sky. After a series of wait-and-see, preparation and disposal in the early stage, he finally officially entered Beijing in September of the eighth year of high school (BC 180) and became the fifth generation emperor, that is, the Chinese Emperor.
Liu Heng, the emperor of China, went to Chang 'an. He never thought he would come back.
Dou's luck doesn't stop there: in October of the first year before Emperor Wen (BC 179), just less than a month after Emperor Wen succeeded to the throne, he and his four princes (princes) born to former empress Lu died of illness! The emperor lost all his sons in name.
This matter was kept secret in the Han Dynasty, and no one dared to unseal the truth. It was not until the demise of the Han Dynasty that textual research found out the reason: Wendi's four sons were all born to Queen Lu, and naturally they had Lu descent. The old ministers wiped out the Lushi family, ushered in a generation of kings, and even wiped out the original Huidi philosophers one by one, leaving no future trouble. For the four princes of the new emperor with Lu descent, it is natural that they must not stay long. For the continuation of the Han family and the stability of the Liu royal family, Wendi had to give up his four sons in exchange for the stability of the country and the stability of the throne. This is also a cruel manifestation of no affection under the imperial power. )
In this way, among Wendi's living sons, Liu Qi born by Dou is the longest. Therefore, in the first month of the first year before Emperor Wendi (BC 179) (October of the early Han Dynasty was the first month, and the first month was the third month of the year), he was responsible for the ancestral temple sacrifice, and invited lyna as the Crown Prince among the princes to decide the country.
Wendi sent ministers to discuss what Taichang had played. After discussion, the ministers played Wendi, making Liu Qi, the eldest son of the emperor, honest, respectful and polite, and asking him to be the Crown Prince.
In the first month of Emperor Wendi's first year (BC 179), Emperor Wendi issued an edict, establishing Liu Qi, the eldest son of the emperor, as the Crown Prince, which was promulgated in the world to stabilize the country. Dou never imagined that a child from a poor farmhouse in Qinghe, at the mercy of fate, could give birth to a son for the emperor, and then his son was made a prince. The ups and downs of life are too great!
However, Dou's bad luck is not over yet: just a few months after his son was made a prince, Taichang came to play again, and respectfully invited Wendi to be appointed queen on the grounds that the emperor could not leave the harem for a long time, setting an example for the world. Emperor Wen naturally wanted to vindicate Dou 'e, but the Han family put filial piety first in governing the country, and the affairs of the harem should still be brought to the attention of the Taihou. So Emperor Wendi sent a message to Empress Dowager Bo, who is now the Empress Dowager, and asked her mother to make a decision.
Dou's foresight in respectfully waiting on the thin queen mother in the countryside in his early years was vividly shown here; Thin queen mother replied without hesitation:
The princes all share the same surname, and the Crown Prince stands on his own feet, taking his mother as the queen! ?
So, after being approved by her mother, Deng Wendi immediately held a ceremony of canonization. In March of the first year of Wendi (BC 179), Dou was appointed as the queen.
From the last years of Emperor Gaudi, the young Dou was forced by life, left Qinghe's hometown, went to Chang 'an to enter the palace as a family member, and went to the first year before Emperor Wendi (BC 179). After more than ten years, under the guidance of fate, the legend of Cinderella in China was staged from ordinary maids to harem, to emperor's concubines, and finally to queen.
