Dau Y Phong: The lucky palace maid became a powerful Queen thanks to the eunuch's omission

Dau Y Phong has experienced the positions of Empress, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, holding power that few have for more than 40 years. But before becoming empress, she was just an ordinary palace maid after the wife of Han Cao To Luu Bang - the founder of the Han dynasty in Chinese history.

Looking back at thousands of years of feudalism in China, it is not difficult to see that the history of this country has recorded many cases of power falling into the hands of female monarchs.

Among them, the most famous 5 women holding real power are Lu Empress of Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Tieu of Dai Lieu Khiet Dan, Vo Tac Thien - Empress of Vo Chu Dynasty, Western Empress Dowager Cixi of the king. Manchu Dynasty, Dau Y Phong of Han Van De.

One thing that is easy to see in the above names is that they have all been wives of Emperors and have both given birth to sons.

Accordingly, Hieu Van Empress Dau Thi was the only empress of Han Van De Luu Hang and had a great influence on the golden age of the Han Dynasty.

Empress Hieu Van has the Dau family, but neither the historical record nor the Han Thu's name is clearly stated. However, in Sima Trinh's Hidden History of the Tang Dynasty, her name is Dau Y Phong.

Ms. Dau Y Phong from Quan Tan, Thanh Ha, Trieu country, came from an ordinary and lowly background. Her parents died early, she and her brother, three people rely on each other, life is extremely poor and hard. After all, she is extremely beautiful.

When Dau Thi was ten years old, she became a graceful and graceful young woman with beautiful beauty. She was recruited and brought to the palace of Chang'an as a palace maid.

Hearing the news that she entered the palace, the three brothers hugged each other and cried. She did not want to enter the palace because she loved her brother who was only four or five years old. But the king's orders could not be resisted.

Before leaving, Dau Thi stood at the translation station and asked for a kettle of hot water and a bowl of cold rice. She washed my hair for the last time and watched him eat all the rice bowls and then get upset, with tears in his eyes, he got into the car to leave. The moment she stepped into the car, she was completely desperate, from now on, she will never be able to see her loved ones again. I love my brother who can't take care of himself and how he will live.

When entering the palace, due to being gentle and dignified, she quickly became a small maid loved and trusted by La Tri. Although the whole day is full of fear and fear to serve the master, compared to the days of hunger, life is now like heaven.

After the death of Han Cao To Luu Bang, Empress Dowager Lu became Empress Dowager Lu, holding the regent, more powerful than others. In order to avoid denigrating, opposing, and comforting the princes, Empress La decided to present beautiful women to the royal families, including the sons of Han Cao To Luu Bang and other concubines.

Dau Y Phong was also among the palace ladies who were brought as "gifts". At that time, her hometown was part of the Zhao (vassal state of the Han Dynasty), so she bribed an eunuch (eunuch) to return to her homeland. However, the eunuch forgot about it, so he mistakenly sent Dau Y room to Dai (the vassal of the Han Dynasty).

Sad, but Dou Y Phong knows that everything has been arranged and cannot be changed, so she has to accept her fate.

Unexpectedly, after coming to Dai, Dau Y Phong became the concubine of King Luu Hang - the 4th son of Han Cao To Luu Bang. Thanks to her beauty, gentleness, understanding of manners and the birth of many children, Dau Y Phong is more and more loved by Luu Hang.

As for Dau Y Phong, she also loves and admires Luu Hang because she feels that he is a talented and ambitious person. In 188 BC, she gave birth to a son, Luu Khai.

At the time of Liu Hang's coronation, his main position was still vacant, so there was no Empress. A year later, Han Van De Luu Hang made Luu Khai crown prince. A few months later, Dau Y Phong became Empress of Dai Han, Liu Phieu's daughter was ordained as Princess Quan Tao, and Liu Yu's second son was made Dai Vuong, later changed to King Luong.

Prince Luu Khai later was Han Canh De - the person who helped the Han Dynasty become prosperous during his rule.

To congratulate this and wish for hundreds of families to share in the joy, Han Van De Luu Hang lowered the order and rewarded the lonely, the poor with cloth, rice, noodles and meat, especially the elderly over 80. and orphans under 9 years old are each added 10 pounds of rice, 10kg of meat, 5 cups of wine, two rolls of silk, and 3 pounds (1.5kg) of cotton yarn. Le people hundreds of them were extremely grateful for the heart of the new queen.

According to Sohu, it can be said that the appearance of the court lady Dau Y Phong changed the fate of the Han Dynasty later.

After becoming the Empress, Dau Y Phong was able to find a long-lost relative. Among them was a younger brother who lived a very miserable life after his older sister entered the palace to become a palace maid. This man, Quang Quoc, was kidnapped and sold as a slave.

After being sold many times, Quang Quoc strayed to Truong An citadel. When he heard that Empress Dau Thi was looking for relatives, he quickly wrote a letter recounting stories of the day he sent to the palace when he was a child. Dau Y Phong only accepted his relatives after a thorough examination.

In 157 BC, Han Van De Luu Hang died, Crown Prince Luu Khai succeeded, ie Han Canh De. The era of Han Van De and Han Canh Emperor was ruled by descendants called Van Canh, the country enjoyed prosperity, the people lived well.

At this time, Dau Y Phong became the Empress Dowager, and all the affairs of the Han Dynasty were obeyed by her. It can be said that she is the one in power.

Dowager Empress Dowager had a great influence on the political decisions of Emperor Wu - a talented emperor who did many things to strengthen the rule and open the door to the outside. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Han dynasty made great political and military developments.

But in 135 BC, Dowager Queen Dou died. From the time she returned to Chang'an to be crowned empress until her death in the era of her grandson, Emperor Wu, Empress Dowager Dou lived in the imperial palace of the Han dynasty for 45 years. According to Sohu, Empress Dowager's life is worthy of a legend.
