Chapter 202 Liu Xiu's Emperor Ranking

Lin Feng asked again, "Emperor Jianwu, after ascending the throne today, in the near future, it will be important to establish a queen and establish the mother of the country. Of your two noble concubines, who will be the queen in the future?"

Liu Xiu's two wives.

One is Yin Lihua.

The second is Guo Shengtong.

Both of them are daughters from aristocratic and wealthy families, and they both gave Liu Xiu great help.

Liu Xiu didn't hesitate for a moment, and said directly, "I married Yin Lihua first. Although she didn't fight with me, the days away from me are more lonely and not easy. Besides, she is tolerant by nature, so she can consider becoming a queen. "

Lin Feng said, "The imperial concubine Guo Shengtong has already given birth to a son for you!"

Liu Xiu said firmly, "If I can achieve what I have today, half of the military medals are mine, and half of hers."

Not so in history.

When Liu Xiu wanted to make Yin Lihua queen, Yin Lihua refused.

She believes that Guo has given birth to a son for Liu Xiu, which is the biggest military medal, and she has no stomach movement, and she doesn't know if she will be able to have a child in the future, so Guo Shengtong's son is her son, so she advocates Canonize Guo Shengtong as queen.

Seeing that Yin Lihua was so upright and reasonable, everyone had nothing to say, so Liu Xiu ordered Guo Shengtong to be canonized as queen.

Strange to say, Guo Shengtong was made queen, but Yin Lihua couldn't stop the car and gave birth to five children in one go.

Empress Guo had an opinion, she thought: having [-] children in a row, needless to say, the emperor gave Yin Lihua all his love.Miss!Miss!

As soon as she raised her opinion, Liu Xiu was unhappy. In addition, Empress Guo could not get along with other concubines in a friendly way.

Liu Xiu said: "I married Yin Lihua when I was humble, but I was forced to separate from her because of the turmoil of the war. Fortunately, God has eyes and allowed me to reunite with her. Her virtues are enough to make her mother love the world, but she is willing to marry her." As a concubine, you are respected."

Yin Lihua knew that Liu Xiu had true feelings for her, so she accepted the canonization.

When she became a queen, the first thing she did was to comfort Guo Shengtong and the Guo family.

At her suggestion, Guo Shengtong's elder brother Guo Kuang, nephew Guo Huang, cousin Guo Jing, and cousin Guo Kuang all received awards.

Thanks to Yin Lihua's protection, Guo Shengtong became the only deposed empress in Chinese history who was not relegated to the cold palace but was respected. Not only did the Guo family not suffer, but the whole family prospered.

Yin Lihuagui is a queen, but like ordinary people, she takes care of her husband and children, does not interfere in the government affairs, and manages the harem in an orderly manner, so that Liu Xiu has no worries and can concentrate on state affairs.

"I never thought about it."

"She is so noble, I feel ashamed!" Liu Xiu sighed, but his eyes were very gentle.

Obviously it's time to prepare for the dog food.

Seemingly thinking of something, Liu Xiu asked, "Who will ascend the throne in the Han Dynasty after Zhen?"

According to historical records, Yin Lihua's son Liu Zhuang came to the throne as Emperor Ming of Han, and Yin Lihua became the empress dowager.

She still did not forget to tell Emperor Hanming to treat Guo Shengtong's family well.

Liu Xiu asked, "In what year did she pass away? Will we be buried together in the same place and continue to be a pair of mandarin ducks..."

Lin Feng replied, "In [-] A.D., the [-]-year-old Empress Dowager passed away, marking a successful end to her life. According to history books, she was buried together with you, Emperor Jianwu."

As for whether the two were buried together, there is actually no conclusion in later generations.

After all, it has been 2000 years since then, and countless dynasties have risen later, and times have changed. Many things are different, and it is difficult to study.

"it is good!"

"Being happy in life, and sleeping in pairs after death, show off for a lifetime, that's enough!!!" Liu Xiu had an infatuated expression.

Lin Feng asked curiously, "Emperor Jianwu, this junior is confused, why do you love Yin Lihua so much?"

"Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today."

It's about privacy, Liu Xiu didn't say much, but to sum it up, it was love at first sight!

The emotion of love.

Sometimes it's hard to tell.

In particular, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua met when they were teenagers. They are talented men and women, a match made in heaven, and a fate bestowed by God.

In the depths of the Qianqiu Pavilion, the nine-cast cauldron suddenly burst into flames, shining in the dark night.

The flames are intertwined, as if turning into a dragon shape.

The omen of auspicious dragons in ancient legends.

Such an imposing scene.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the galaxy in the sky. His personal emotions floated out, as if he was on the clouds high in the sky, and he felt it, and then he said leisurely:
Visit the Han Shizu Temple Liu Xiyi Tang.

Chongling Qi was first released, but gradually the head of the stage was not spread.

There are millions of people in the camp, and they have held the country for 18 years.

After transporting the Zhu Qi, the Dao He Chi Fu comes first.

Wancheng sword rings, Kunyang dysprosium responds to the strings.

The blood of the wild beasts smeared the ground, and the voices of giants roared to the sky.

Long drive through Northern Zhao, short soldiers out of Nanyan.

The prefect welcomes the door, and Wang Lang dies beside the road.

Ascension to the altar of nine cities, end arch for thousands of years.

……

A poem praising Guangwu coincides with this situation.

Liu Xiu was in a good mood and asked, "People of later generations, you have read the history of China for thousands of years, and read this huge epic history of development. I ask you, with my achievements, in the future, among many emperors, What is the ranking?"

did not expect.

Liu Xiu, who has always been known to be low-key, will also care about these false names.

people!

They all have seven emotions and six desires, and Liu Xiu is not an ancient sage, so it is normal to have some private thoughts.

If he really sees everything.

On the contrary, it is not normal.

That kind of emperor.

Unless it is the Son of Heaven descended from heaven somewhere.

Lin Feng said in an affirmative and certain tone, "Emperor Jianwu, who has been in China for thousands of years, is truly a feudal emperor. There are 422 people in total. No matter how you rank, you will not be able to enter the top ten."

Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, plus the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Xiu will definitely not be able to enter the top five.

The audience was not happy with Lin Feng's ranking.

Many people said that with Liu Xiu's martial arts, at least the bottom line of the ranking, he should be able to rank tenth, and it should be only high or low.

In the camera, Lin Feng just said calmly, "Emperor Jianwu, you are the ninth grandson of Han Gaozu, don't you recognize the achievements of your ancestors?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Liu Xiu was stunned.

The audience was also dumbfounded.

what's the situation?
Can you still line up like this?
The emperors of this ancestor are worthy of respect and admiration, but this is a ranking of civil and military achievements!
It's just that for other emperors, these ceremonies may not be important, but for Liu Xiu, they are the most important.

The handsome Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Without the emperors of the great Han ancestors, there is no Xiu today. They should be in front."

Suddenly.

Lin Feng said, "Emperor Jianwu, have you heard of the entertainment industry?"

Liu Xiu, "..."

Lin Feng said again, "The entertainment industry is a term for people after 2000, just like the current actor circle."

Liu Xiu asked blankly, "Why did you mention the "entertainment circle"? I am the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can I compare with those martial arts singers and singers?"

So metaphorically.

It will indeed make a generation of emperors drop in price.

However, this can also be used as a metaphor to describe Liu Xiu's position in history.

Lin Feng said, "You can be regarded as one of the most iconic emperors in China."

If Liu Xiu lived in modern times, let him evaluate himself in one sentence.

I guess he would say:
"I just want to be a quiet, handsome man."
People are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and there are three layers of meat.

Take today's entertainment industry as an example, there are superstars with unlimited glory, and there are also down-and-out actors.

The appearance fee of the former is tens of millions, while the reward of the latter is only a box lunch.

Taking being an emperor again, there are both the domineering founding monarch and the precarious king of subjugation.

If the political arena is compared to the entertainment industry, Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are the four heavenly kings; Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as grassroots movie kings;

Even second-tier actors like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan became international stars thanks to their agent Luo Guanzhong.

But there is Liu Xiu, a unique emperor who has the high-quality qualifications of a first-line star, but stays away from the media and does not want to be over-exposed. Such a low-key luxury with connotations, he is simply a quiet and beautiful man!

For this "novelty" and "funny" statement.

The audience's eyes lit up immediately.

Simple and popular!
Even if you don't know history, even if you are a history novice, you can understand Liu Xiu, the eternal Mingjun, from another perspective from these words.
