Chapter 237 Brother Xiu and His Two Wives
Hearing this, everyone in the court was particularly excited, after all, it was rare to hear gossip about the emperor, especially such a dramatic love triangle!
However, they are more interested in knowing how he limits the number and gender of his children; things seem too peaceful on this side!
Is it simply because he is the chosen one of this world?!
……
"During the period from Liu Xiu's ascension to the throne in 25 AD to 28 AD, Guo Shengtong was considered a favorite. However, in 28 AD, Peng Chong rebelled, and Liu Xiu personally led the campaign. This time, the pregnant Yin Lihua also went."
"This is a bit of a question. Since Yin Lihua was pregnant, why did she have to endure the hardships of the journey to accompany Liu Xiu to attack Peng Chong? Wouldn't it have been better for her to stay quietly in the harem?"
"However, there is little historical material on this, so it is difficult to speculate. Only they themselves know the specific reasons. But judging from the order in which the princes appeared, Liu Xiu favored Guo Shengtong and Consort Xu more in the early period."
"Liu Zhuang, born to Yin Lihua, was her fourth son. So perhaps Liu Xiu had a better relationship with Guo Shengtong in the early stages, and a better relationship with Yin Lihua in the later stages!"
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: ? ????……
"In 33 AD, bandits rose up everywhere, and the Yin family became their target. Ultimately, Yin Lihua's mother and younger brother were murdered."
"For Yin Lihua, who lost her father at a young age, the role of mother is very important, so she was naturally devastated upon hearing this tragic news."
"So, to comfort her, Liu Xiu issued a special edict, roughly stating that when he was of humble origins, he married Lady Yin... Lady Yin possessed the beauty of a mother, and should have been made empress, but she firmly declined and was instead placed among Teng's concubines..."
"This edict clearly shows that Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua had a good relationship at this time, while Guo Shengtong had been empress for about seven years."
"The initial decision to appoint an empress was already quite awkward, and now Liu Xiu has brought it up again. As far as Guo Shengtong is concerned, Liu Xiu has shown her absolutely no respect."
"Perhaps Guo Shengtong's favor had gradually waned by this time, and Liu Xiu's heart was gradually shifting towards Yin Lihua."
A spoiled young woman from the Song Dynasty: Rather than saying that the marriage between these two women is a union of their families!
A skilled farmer in the Tang Dynasty: Liu Xiushui has managed to balance everything, but these two don't seem to have a good relationship!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: First of all, this man is not an ordinary person, but the emperor. Everything he does is largely for the sake of the political situation!
A lazy official from the Song Dynasty: I support the opinion above!
……
In another timeline, Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua, and Guo Shengtong exchanged bewildered glances, an overwhelming sense of embarrassment welling up inside them. The thought that the entire world was discussing their affair made them feel incredibly strange!
No! Don't you guys have any other gossip?!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke thought to herself, no wonder some people call Liu Xiu a master of impartiality. With his level of skill, not everyone could be as good at impartiality as him!
She then continued, "In addition to issuing this edict, Liu Xiu also posthumously conferred the title of Marquis Xuan'en Ai upon Yin Lihua's father and the title of Marquis Xuanyi Gong upon her younger brother."
"If such an edict were issued to comfort the grieving empress, it might be understandable, but at this moment, everyone's focus is on:"
Liu Xiu emphasized here that Yin Lihua was not incapable of becoming empress, but rather that she was modest and willing to let Guo Shengtong go first.
"But in reality, both Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong's families had contributed to Liu Xiu's unification of China. Perhaps this is why Liu Xiu sought a balance between the two."
