“乡巴佬”董太后和“屠户”出身的何皇后打擂台，谁赢谁输

The peasant woman suddenly became the empress dowager

In the Three Kingdoms period

A woman suddenly became the empress dowager

There was such a miserable woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty

She became the empress dowager because of her son

But she was killed in the first episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

she was the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling

Empress Dowager Dong was very weird

Normal parents guide their children correctly

But she let her children go astray

she advised her son to sell positions

What was she thinking?

In fact, this is her unique harem survival rule

How did she become the empress dowager?

Dong's husband, Liu Chang, was the great-grandson

of the third emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty

she gave birth to a son named Liu Hong

Unexpectedly, when he was 13 years old

something happened

Emperor Huan had no children

So after he died

the empress went to the country to choose the candidate

Liu Hong was chosen to be the emperor

he was the Emperor Ling

so his mother Dong became noble too

But at that time, the government was still controlled by the Dou

After emperor enthroned, Dou still was in power

Dong was only named Lady

At first, there was no chance to come to capital for her

but the Dou family fell

Empress Dowager Dou was imprisoned

so Dong came to the capital

Then Empress Dowager died

she became a veritable Empress Dowager Dong

The years when she first came to capital

Empress Dowager Dong is still an honest man

she was not familiar with this place

and does not have any confidants

At first, her son wanted to be a good emperor

So she didn't dare to be too pretentious

But the Empress Dowager found out

her son was not suitable to be an emperor

and during this period

she also realized that she should have

a powerful rule of survival in the harem

she should cultivate some eunuch as trusted followers

She organized a powerful group of eunuchs such as Xia Yun

They advised the emperor to sell some positions

The price of this position is 10,000 times your annual salary

you can buy what you want

Cao Cao's father Cao Song bought one position

The money was spent on the construction of private gardens

The remaining funds were divided between Dong and her eunuchs

This kind of behavior makes the government corrupt

This accelerated the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This lady from the country was only interested in money

later she started interfering in government

she fighted for power with her daughter-in-law

This made the Han Dynasty even weaker

It can be seen that not all laws of harem survival

are worth learning from

Her laws are extremely dangerous

What did she do after that?

from ancient times to the present, the relationship

between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a problem

How did Dong compete with his daughter-in-law for power?

Her daughter-in-law is He

The empress was Song at that time

Emperor didn't like her very much

Even because of the eunuch's false accusation

He executed Empress Song

After that, he made He the empress

she was from a butcher family

But she was favored by Emperor Ling

After she became empress, she gave birth to a son Liu Bian

But at this time, Wang Rong, another concubine

also gave birth to the prince Liu Xie

Empress He poisoned Wang Rong

Although emperor was very angry when he found out about it

under the persuasion of the eunuchs

he can't bear to abolish her

but he sent the child to the Empress Dowager Dong.

It can be seen that she was grumpy

Empress Dowager Dong treated Liu Xie well

So she started trying to persuade his son

to make Liu Xie prince

This made Empress He very dissatisfied.

So the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has existed since then

Emperor had not time to finalize the candidate

he passed away

Later, the general He Jin took control of the court

he made Liu Bian ascended the throne

Empress He became the Empress Dowager He

And Dong was promoted to Grand Empress Dowager

If Dong can see the situation clearly at this time

and delegate powers to them

she should be fine for the rest of your life

because He did not plan to fight with the mother-in-law

But she didn't restrain her momentum

The emperor Liu Bian was He's son

Emperor Shao ascended the throne

Her mother He came to the court and it was orthodox

Dong was the grandmother at this time

she was not qualified at all

He stopped Dong from getting involved in government affairs

Yet she obeyed the eunuch

and wanted to get involved in government affairs

This caused the dissatisfaction of many courtiers

she even blamed He and she said

You can be the empress because of me

She's worried that He treats her badly

Her worries are right

As the conflict between the two deepens

it finally broke out

What happened to Dong in the end?

You are so vicious, you poison others

Which of the two won the final victory?

There was such a wonderful scene in the harem of the Han Dynasty

Dong became empress from the peasant

And He was a butcher's daughter

the two women were fierce

After the death of Dong's son

her grandson became the emperor

The grandson's mother is He

her daughter-in-law held the power

Dong felt that she is in a bad situation

So she was going to do something

one day, she made Liu Xie the prince of Chenliu

her relative Dong Zhong was namde General

and supervised the country with Zhang Rang

After noticed her actions

He held a banquet in the palace

hoping to shake hands with mother-in-law and make peace

As a result, Dong not only did not appreciate it

but also uttered wild words to humiliate her

she said she will let the general kill her brother

Do you think she is stupid?

He was the emperor's mother, why you made her angry?

So He immediately discussed with her brother

they took tough measures

Dong Zhong was Dong's trump card

So He Jin arranged an army to

surround Dong Zhong's residence

And Dong Zhong naturally knew his fate.

So he committed suicide

Now Dong can only wait for her own destiny

On the seventh day of June of the same year

She died of anxiety

Not long after Dong Zhong died, she died

There are unofficial records that

He gave her a pot of poisonous liquor

and she died in the river

In short, the era belonging to Dong was over

Dong became the empress because of her son

If she was smart

she can live the rest of his life in peace

Too bad she's short-sighted

she didn't realize that He and her son were in power now

And she was arrogant on other people's territory

Can anyone bear this?

Self-knowledge is the most important

The struggle for power is to see who has the real power

without strength, everything is in vain

Dong didn't realize it at all

She was killed by her shortsightedness
