There is no doubt that Cao is a sage.
After becoming the empress of Injong, she has always been dignified and virtuous, cautious, knowing that she is not favored by Injong, so she never makes public, which is why although Queen Cao is not favored and has no children, she can stand firm in the middle palace. Besides, Empress Cao was among the three dynasties. When Injong was in power, she helped Injong to be benevolent and became famous, helping Injong to create a prosperous time. After Injong's death, she stabilized the state affairs by herself and tried her best to help Yingzong take the upper position. Yingzong listened to politics when he was seriously ill, and did not give the younger generation a chance to exploit loopholes. After Yingzong recovered from his illness, he did not covet the power to monopolize the state affairs, and returned the state affairs in time, saving the feelings of mother and son. When she helped Zongshen, she did her best. Zong Shen was very filial to her, and she also saved Su Shi with penetrating insight, which added a lot of luster to China's Song Ci. Queen Cao's second half of life can be described as a winner in life, living a long life and being satisfied.
So the miserable first half of Queen Cao began.
After the Queen Cao entered the palace, she was hardly seen, because the appearance of the Queen Cao in history was really average, although not ugly, but there was still some gap compared with those beautiful women in the harem. Those who stay in the beauty pile every day naturally don't like Queen Cao. A domineering queen Guo left, and a shameless queen Cao came again. For Queen Guo, the concubines are afraid to do anything because of family power and Queen Liu, but Queen Cao has always been cautious, not finding fault and not causing trouble, and the concubines are naturally not afraid. In particular, those who had been loved by Injong for a long time (later named as the queen) used her love to bully Queen Cao. However, Empress Cao is not incompetent, nor is it a fuel-efficient lamp after three dynasties. Besides, Cao's queen is very talented and patient, and never lets people catch her mistakes, so even if Song Renzong doesn't like her, she has to be honored as the queen. Of course, Song Renzong is not a bad king, and she will not be left out because the queen is not beautiful. The real reason for being left out is that two people can't get along. Cao Danshu has a strong personality and is very tolerant. She is a qualified queen, but not a qualified wife. She comes from a well-known family and has a strict family education, so it is impossible to hire a pet. She can only be the virtuous queen that ministers expect. And Song Renzong is also very patient, so he can achieve something in politics, but it is not a good thing for two equally patient people to become husband and wife. Such two people can only live a life of mutual respect, but they can't stir up any ripples of love.
