Song Zhenzong learned that Li Fei had given birth to a civet, so he put Li Fei in the cold. Liu Fei, fearing that the plot would be exposed, ordered the eunuch to burn down the palace where Li Fei lived. Li Fei was rescued from the palace by eunuchs around him, went to Chen Zhou, lived in a broken kiln and begged for food. Fortunately, Bao Zheng put food in Chen Zhou, brought Li Fei back to Beijing, found out the truth, and established Li Fei and Song Renzong who had become emperors.
It was indeed Li who was born in history, and it was indeed Liu E who raised him and helped him ascend to the throne. However, the exchange of civet cats for princes is purely a posterity deduction, not a historical truth.
The girl's ancient paintings became Liu E's ancestral home in Taiyuan. When her father was in Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, he was the commander-in-chief of Hulao Pass and took charge of the secretariat (now Leshan, Sichuan), so his family moved to Huayang, Chengdu. Unfortunately, when she was very young, her parents died and she became an orphan.
When Liu E was a teenager, she married a silversmith named Gong Mei. When Gongmei sells silverware along the street, Liu E will play rattle to attract customers. In this way, they walked all the way from Sichuan to Kaifeng, the then capital. In Beijing, Gong Mei was so poor that she sold Liu E to Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian worked as a policeman in Xiangwangfu (later Song Dynasty). Seeing Liu E's beauty, Zhang Jian gave her directly to Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang. When Zhao Heng met Liu E, she got great love, so Liu E's fate changed dramatically.
After Liu E's favour, when Zhao Heng visited Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong, Zhao Guangyi saw that he was haggard and asked Zhao Heng's wet nurse why. The wet nurse didn't like Liu E, so she told Song Taizong that Liu Heng didn't do his job well, but hung out with a Sichuan civilian who played flower drums all day. Song Taizong flew into a rage, ordered Liu Heng to drive Liu E out of the palace and never associate with her, and promised to give him the daughter of Pan Mei, the founding hero. Liu E had to move out of the palace. Zhang Jian saw that she was Liu Heng's favorite woman, so she gave Liu E her own mansion and moved to another place to live. Every cloud in Liu E has a good side. Instead of complaining, she took this opportunity to read poetry books and painstakingly study piano, chess and calligraphy, which laid a solid foundation for her to learn from her ministers in the future.
After Song Taizong's death, Zhao Heng became the king of Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong took Liu E out of the palace. At this point, Pan Mei's daughter died long before Zhao Heng acceded to the throne. The daughter of Guo Shouwen, a famous Northern Song Dynasty star, became a new queen, so Liu E had no name.
In A.D. 1007, Queen Guo died of illness and wanted to appoint Liu E as her successor. Kou Zhun and others expressed their firm opposition on the grounds of "Liu E's humble origin". Song Zhenzong doted on her, so she threw out the idea that Liu E's ancestral home was Taiyuan, and his ancestors were five generations of senior generals, and he was separated from his family because of the war. Kou Zhun didn't believe Song Zhenzong's story, and still didn't agree that Song Zhenzong made Liu E the queen, which became the main reason why Kou Zhun was later demoted to the South China Sea by Liu E.
At this time, Li, the maid who served Liu E, even gave birth to a baby boy, who was later. Liu E regards Li's son as her own and forbids outsiders to tell the truth to her children.
Although Song Zhenzong had many concubines, all her children died soon. Song Zhenzong, who worshipped Liu E, was made queen on the grounds that Liu E had children. As a result, this poor woman and a flower drum girl ascended the throne of the queen.
Two men can't compete with one woman, Liu E. After she got rheumatism in Song Zhenzong, she helped him deal with state affairs and gradually took control of them. Song Zhenzong was uneasy and afraid that Liu E would become the second Wu Zetian, so she planned to let the prince supervise the country. So, in the third year of Song Zhenzong Tianxi (A.D. 10 19), Kou Zhun was ordered to enter the palace to discuss with Song Zhenzong about the prince's supervision of the country. The matter is so secretive that even Liu E doesn't know it. Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun asked Zhi Zhi (the official who drafted the imperial edict for the emperor) Yang Yi to draft the order for the prince to supervise the army, but Yang Yi's brother-in-law leaked it after drinking. Liu E took the first step and went to the palace to question Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong pushed the whole thing to Kou Zhun on the grounds that "I don't remember what I said to Zhun-ju". As a result, Kou Zhun was deposed and Ding Wei became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Since the alliance with the Buddhist Monastery, Kou Zhun has been relied on by Song Zhenzong for a long time, which will inevitably lead to envy of others. As a result, the Chinese villain began to frame Kou Zhun behind his back. After a long time, Song Zhenzong began to resent Kou Zhun for taking him to the Yellow River to bid. Song Zhenzong believes that this is a shame that Kou Zhun risked his life to form an alliance with the Buddhist monastery.
In fact, when the Khitan fought Song Jun in the south, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses lost nearly half, especially after Xiao Taihou's death, the domestic strength of Daliao was far worse than before. Suffering from "Liao phobia", Song Zhenzong did not dare to take the opportunity to attack Liao and recapture sixteen states. In order to save the humiliation brought by the war, he even concocted the illusion of "heavenly book" to worship Mount Tai, so as to fool the people all over the world.
At the time of the closing ceremony, Ding Wei in Song Dynasty, as the supervisor of the building of the closing ceremony palace, became the confidant minister of Song Zhenzong because of his outstanding performance.
In 2022 AD, Song Zhenzong, who was terminally ill, left a testament that "the queen is the empress dowager, and the relieving power is taken over by the empress dowager". After Song Zhenzong's death, Zhao Zhen acceded to the throne for Song Renzong and Empress Liu E .. Ding Wei, a powerful minister in the Song Dynasty, deliberately shelved Liu E and took charge of state affairs alone, and relations with Liu E deteriorated.
After Song Zhenzong's death, building a mausoleum for him was put on the agenda. Ding Wei Song Dynasty, which is superior because it is a "contractor", will never miss this opportunity to make contributions. He had a tough attitude and took the job of "Shanling envoy", which he never expected, and it was this "Shanling envoy" that plunged him into the abyss.
Kaifeng was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the tombs of the Northern Song emperors were all in Luoyang. As a result, Ding Wei Song Dynasty had to travel back and forth between Kaifeng and Luoyang, which was not a wonderful thing for Ding Wei Song Dynasty, which had entered its later years. So, he had to find a capable assistant to help him finish it, so the eunuch Lei Yungong stood up.
After Lei Yungong arrived in Luoyang, the official in charge of the feng shui survey of the tomb told him that he had recently observed the sky at night, and it would be of great benefit to future generations if the original tomb was moved up 100 meters. Lei Yungong naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to take credit, so he immediately ran to Kaifeng and reported to the emperor. At this point, the whole court affairs were dominated by Ding Weisong, and the Empress Dowager and Song Renzong were like puppets. Empress Dowager Cixi said to Lei Yungong, "You should discuss this matter with Ambassador Khan!" LeiYungong then went to Ding Wei to discuss the Song Dynasty. Ding Wei in Song Dynasty knew nothing about geomantic omen. He took a negative attitude towards Nuo Nuo and didn't show his attitude. Lei Yungong then reported to the Queen Mother: "Ambassador Dan Ling has no objection to this!" Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Song said that since Ding Wei agreed, let's do it.
Unexpectedly, just after the tomb was repaired, groundwater emerged. LeiYungong stood in the cold underground, his mind completely awake, and he knew that not only he, but also Ding Wei, the supervisor of the imperial tomb, was going to have a catastrophe.
Therefore, Wang Zeng, who had been at odds with Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty, joined forces with the DPRK ministers to impeach Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty. There is something wrong with the tomb, and the queen mother will definitely ask. She invited Ding Wei to listen to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Song Dynasty knew that something had happened to Ding Wei, so he had to come. Under the screen, he explained that it had nothing to do with himself, nor did he instigate Lei Yungong to move the tomb without authorization. Just as he wondered why the queen mother had never interrupted him, a eunuch suddenly came out: "Who are you talking to here?" The emperor and the queen mother are long gone! "
At this moment, Ding Wei knew in the Song Dynasty that his end had arrived. As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he was mercilessly played. Soon, this incident became the laughing stock of North Korea. In this matter, everyone understood the real intention of the queen mother. She wanted to fight Ding Wei in Song Dynasty, but before she did, she needed the support of courtiers.
As a result, the "macaques scattered on the trees", including officials trained and promoted by Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty, turned to the Queen Mother. In this way, Ding Wei was expelled from the imperial court by the Song Dynasty and went to the place he gave to Kou Zhun when he was developed: Asia.
As for the hapless Lei Yungong, originally he wanted to enrich himself and had to go to the mausoleum project. In his home, the queen mother found countless stolen royal gold and silver jewelry and killed him directly with a stick.
Ding Wei went south along the route of Kou Zhun in Song Dynasty. When passing through Leizhou, Kou Zhun had mixed feelings about his former friends and political enemies, and sent someone to send him a steamed sheep. Ding Weisong felt it necessary to have a heart-to-heart talk with Kou Zhun at this time. However, Kou Zhun turned him down mercilessly. Perhaps, Kou Zhun thought, the ending of the two of them may have been predestined. What can they say when they meet?
In this way, the two prime ministers with unprecedented status and power in the Northern Song Dynasty were defeated by the Queen Mother in less than one round. 、
Helpless and arrogant Ding Wei in Song Dynasty was overthrown, and she returned to the hands of the Empress Dowager. For this day, she endured so many days. To outsiders, it's time for her to settle accounts with those guys with their eyes open. However, Empress Dowager Cixi made a move that surprised everyone. She ordered people to burn the correspondence between North Korean ministers and Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty copied from Dingfu in front of civil and military officials. She said to her ministers: My late Lord has just died, and the new king is young, and there are worries at home and abroad. Everything in the world depends on the minister. I want to thank not only the ministers, but also your descendants, relatives and friends, and I want to repay them.
Hearing this, the ministers were excited, which was a once-in-a-century happy event. They hurried home and made a list of all their relatives, friends and students and handed them in. After receiving the list submitted by ministers, the Queen Mother asked people to read it as soon as possible and posted it on the wall of the inner palace. When a courtier recommends an official to him, she will look at the list on the wall and everyone on the list will be rejected. Only those who are not on the list will she consider hiring.
On February 26th, the tenth year of Tiansheng (A.D.1032), the woman who only knew her surname Li and didn't even leave her name was the woman named Li who died in the TV series Qingpingle. As usual, Song Renzong, who knew nothing about this, once again walked into the palace with Empress Liu E. At the end of the meeting, Lv Yijian suddenly said something irrelevant: "Did you hear about the dead in the palace?" (Biography of Song Dynasty, seventieth time) I heard that a concubine died in the palace? Hearing this, Liu E stood up in panic and asked Lv Yijian, "Did the Prime Minister also foresee the evil in the palace?" In other words, as a prime minister of a country, do you still want to interfere in harem affairs? Then, Liu E returned to the Inner Palace with Song Renzong. Soon after, Liu E hurried back to the front hall. At this time, Lv Yijian has not left the court. Liu E said to Lv Yijian, "Why did the Prime Minister alienate our mother and son?" Lv Yijian said, "Empress Dowager Cixi, don't you want to save your future? Li Fei gave birth to a saint, and her funeral was not a gift. When the master knows, he will be angry with your Liu family. At that time, it will be too late for you to regret it. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance! "
Therefore, under the strong interference of Lv Yijian, the funeral of Song Renzong's biological mother became the standard procedure of royal funeral, with high specifications, complete etiquette and grand scenes. Although Song Renzong was still in the dark at this time, from beginning to end, the emperor and the empress dowager did not show up, but it was because of Lv Yijian's brilliant vision in this matter that the empress dowager escaped a disaster.
1033 In February, the Queen Mother, who had not recovered from a long illness, ignored the opposition of her ministers and insisted on putting on the emperor's robes (dates, symbols of loyalty, filial piety and cleanliness were removed) to go to the ancestral hall. Although the former empress dowager became the actual ruler of DaSong, nominally, the master of this country is still Song Renzong. She walked from a flower drum girl to the queen step by step, and then infinitely approached the throne of the emperor. However, she didn't have the courage to abolish or kill Zhao Zhen, a person who had nothing to do with herself, and then replace her. It doesn't matter. For her, there is absolutely no need to replace Zhao Jiangshan with Liu Jiangshan, because she has no son of her own and no family like Wuhou. She just took Zhao's land. After a hundred years, who should she pass it to? As for the younger brother's name, Liu Mei, that's just her husband's name before Gong Meigai entered the palace. The queen mother dragged her sick body and walked step by step to the throne of the ancestors of the DaSong Dynasty. How she wanted the ancestors of Zhao family to know that although she was only a woman, she was no worse than the clanking men above these temples, and she wanted to be equal with them.
After returning from the ancestral temple, the queen mother's condition became more and more serious. On her deathbed, she was speechless, but she showed her clothes several times and seemed to have something to say. Guo Kui, the minister, said that the Queen Mother meant to get rid of this dragon robe because she was afraid that she would have no face to see the first emperor in this dress. Therefore, Song Renzong immediately sent someone to get the clothes that the queen should wear and put them on her. There may be some truth in what Guo Kui said, but Liu E didn't say that she would take off this dress until she died. Didn't she want to tell everyone that she would die in this dragon robe and become a queen forever?
Liu E's bones were not cold, and sure enough, someone told Song Renzong that Liu E was not his real mother, and even slandered that his real mother had been treated unfairly after her death. On the one hand, Song Renzong sent someone to dig Lee's grave. On the other hand, he sent someone to surround Liu E's brother Liu Mei's mansion. When Li's coffin was opened, Song Renzong knew that he was wrong. Because he saw his mother lying quietly inside, surrounded by mercury, wearing the clothes of Empress Dowager Cixi, without any pain. He sighed: "People can't keep their words, and the big queen has a bright life!"
"A clean life" may be the fairest evaluation of Liu E's life!
