Once upon a time, the Northern Song Dynasty was particularly lucky, and virtuous queens emerged one after another, which was in great contrast with eunuchs or Han, Tang and Ming dynasties who were good at power.
Let me tell you something about the three famous queens of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty, the biological mother of Du Taihou, Song Taizu and Taizong.
Encourage governance of the country
In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin, who was in charge of the inspection in front of the Hou Zhou Temple, launched a mutiny in Chen Qiao and established the Song Dynasty for Song Taizu.
When I returned to Kyoto, someone came to tell Du? The abacus became the emperor. ?
Du said: My son has always been ambitious, indeed. ?
On the fifth day of February, Song Taizu honored her mother Du Fu as the Empress Dowager.
Last week, Song Taizu went to court for the Queen Mother Du Fu, and ministers congratulated Du Fu.
Du was a little unhappy, and a civil servant advised her to say, I heard? Mother and child are expensive? Why are you not happy that your son became emperor? ?
Du said: I heard? Is it difficult for you? The emperor is above hundreds of millions of people. If the country is well governed, the throne can be respected; Once the country is out of control, it is impossible to be a husband, which is what I am worried about! ?
Bow to du again:? I will certainly follow your instructions. ?
Jindian alliance
In 19961year, Du Taihou was seriously ill and had a meaningful conversation with Song Taizu before he died.
Du Taihou asked Song Taizu:? Do you know why you can be the son of heaven? ?
Song Taizu sobbed, and Du Fu asked him again.
Song Taizu replied? Is it because of your ancestors and your good deeds? .
Queen du said:? I don't think so. It's just that Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong let your youngest son inherit the throne and gave you a chance to win the world. If Chai Rong became an old clan emperor, how could this world fall into your hands? ?
Then Du Taihou bluntly said that Song Taizu needed to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi in a hundred years, and only in this way could the Great Song Dynasty last for a long time.
After hearing what Du Taihou said, Song Taizu burst into tears and said to Du Taihou. I must obey your instructions? .
In order to prevent Song Taizu from breaking his word, Du Taihou also asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu to testify in court, and ordered Zhao Pu to write an affidavit personally, which Zhao Pu wrote at the end of the paper? What about Chen? , hidden in the golden chamber.
After Zhao Kuangyin died, Zhao Guangyi? Brothers and sisters? What is the legitimacy? Golden Chamber Alliance? .
But in the history of China, the order of succession to the throne mostly followed? Father and son? Rules.
As a result, various speculations have also been derived in history.
Candle shadow axe sound
According to the Chronicle of Song History, Song Taizu was seriously ill in 976 AD. One midnight in 10 this year, Song Taizu suddenly sent a letter to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, king of Jin, to attend the meeting.
Song Taizu's screen receded to the left and right, and the shadow of the window became blurred. Imperial secretary saw from a distance that Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, sometimes left the meeting place by candlelight in the deliberation room, and sometimes quarreled. Soon, Song Taizu poked the ground with an axe and said loudly, Is it good for it? . Strange death that night, the next day Jin Wang acceded to the throne, that is.
This is a historical mystery? Candle shadow axe sound? .
According to the records in the Chronicle of the History of Song Dynasty, it is obvious that Song Taizu was probably coerced when he was transferred to his brother Zhao Guangyi, and even it is too much to say that Song Taizu was killed by his brother Zhao Guangyi. However, The History of Song Dynasty was written by Chen Bangzhan, and its historical authenticity remains to be discussed.
After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he used various means to prevent his younger brother from obtaining the right of inheritance. Mao's two adult sons died one after another, and finally passed the throne to his own son, which seems to prove the authenticity of the golden chamber alliance, the consideration of the two brothers and the true Queen Mother Du, and avoid the risk of the younger son's succession.
Song Zhenzong died and Song Renzong succeeded to the throne. Because she is young, Queen Liu listens to politics.
Empress Liu and Liu E, known as the Empress and Empress of Xianming Zhang, were the first hostess in the Song Dynasty. She is often called the Empress and Tang of the Han Dynasty, and later called her? With Lu Wu's talent, there is no evil of Lu Wu? .
Cixi Liu is not Song Renzong's biological mother, but the protagonist in The Civet Cat for the Prince. In history, Injong did recognize his mother.
According to historical records, it was not born by Liu, but by Li.
After Injong was born, Liu Defa raised him as his own son and became a queen.
He succeeded to the throne at a young age, while Queen Liu listened to politics.
Injong didn't know that his biological mother was Lee, and the ministers in the DPRK were afraid of the power of the Queen Mother and dared not say so.
Later, Li, Injong's biological mother, was seriously ill and was promoted to a princess by Queen Liu. Empress Liu is worried that Injong will know the truth in the future, which will be detrimental to future generations. After Li died, she was buried as a gift of the queen.
In the second year, Queen Liu died, and Zhao, the prince of Zhao, pretended to be crazy and sold silly for more than ten years, saying that he was ill (in later works of art? Eight wise kings? One of the prototypes) said to Injong:? Liu is not your mother, but your mother is. Queen Li Fei died in an unknown way, even though she was killed. ?
Yang Guifei also told Injong: Your mother is really dead. ?
Realize that Liu is not his real mother, but his mother, the queen, was not allowed to be with herself until she died.
Song Renzong's fear of Empress Liu for many years has all turned into resentment against Empress Liu.
It turned out that Liu E was not her own mother, so she was so cold to herself and often made things difficult for herself.
Song Renzong immediately ordered troops to surround Liu E's family. Then he sent his confidant to Fengxian Temple and stopped him. In spite of the minister's objection, he opened the coffin for autopsy.
As a result, people found that Li Chenfei was buried as a gift from the Queen, and his face looked like life under the care of mercury.
Injong sighed:? You can believe what people say! ? When the military power was removed to reward the relatives of Empress Liu, the prince was punished.
Song Renzong personally went to apologize to Liu's coffin, burned incense and wept bitterly, saying? From now on, the big queen is innocent all her life! ? (Injong called Liu E the great queen and Yang the little queen)
In addition, I didn't blame foster mother Yang for exposing this matter. She addressed Yang as the Empress Dowager, and was obedient and extremely filial to this foster mother.
Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne at a young age, and his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, was in charge of state affairs.
Empress Gao is the mother of He. After her death, at the age of 9, she came to Korea as a grandmother. During this period, the boiling of public resentment caused by Wang Anshi's political reform in Zongshen period was eased, and conservative ministers Sima Guang and Su Dongpo were reused.
Su Dongpo, a literary giant, retired from Wutai Poetry Case, and the Empress Dowager came to the court. In eight months, Su Dongpo was promoted to the third class, and Ren Zhongshu Scheeren and Hanlin bachelor knew the imperial edict, which was equivalent to the deputy prime minister, participated in the discussion of state affairs and drafted the imperial edict for the emperor.
Su Dongpo has been jealous and attacked by politicians for about a year, and intends to resign.
One day, the empress dowager announced that he entered the palace to draft the imperial edict, and the young emperor sat beside his grandmother.
