Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unexpectedly, I finally got some news from Eunuch Guo, "The Queen Mother" Sure enough, as Xiao Yu'er guessed, the biggest one in the palace is not the emperor but the Queen Mother. A woman who has lost her husband is the most terrifying  , not to mention she is an old witch who has no heirs.  ¡ù% Historically, Empress Dowager Liu, who rivaled Wu Zetian, was indeed no small figure.  So the two rushed to Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived.  Queen Mother Liu was resting. She heard the footsteps and said, "He's here, why don't you come in?" Xiao Yu'er and Ghost Face looked at each other. It seemed that Queen Mother Liu was an expert.  The two people's hiding skills are outstanding.  Ghost Face is a killer, so he naturally has a set of hidden skills.  And Xiaoyuer, who has a systematic system, is even more incredible. He can hide himself by just making a set of hidden pills.  This old witch is definitely over level 60, more than 10 levels higher than the two of them.  ¡°Then again, now that I¡¯m here, I definitely can¡¯t leave.  So the two of them made up their minds and entered the Cining Palace.  "Zhizhi" The door opened, and they saw a woman sitting on the bed seductively. If they didn't know that this was Cining Palace, they would definitely think it was some empress's palace.  "This Empress Dowager Liu can't be seen as an old woman at all, but a very enchanting young woman. No, it should be the kind of resentful woman who has been exposed for a long time.  Ghost Face is a master who likes to destroy flowers very much. He grabbed the sword in his hand and prepared to attack monsters.  Xiao Yu'er raised his right hand to stop Ghost Face and said: "Wait a minute" Ghost Face looked at Xiao Yu'er, is this kid going to defect in battle?  Bewitched by this temptress?  Hope he can give an explanation.  Xiao Yuer glanced at it.  He did not give an explanation, but stepped forward to greet her and said: "Kaifeng Prefecture's Majesty, I will catch the little fish and come to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." Although the Queen Mother Liu had a veil on her face, she couldn't see her appearance.  But Xiao Yu'er secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager, and saw that her face was extremely pale, her eyes were bright, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be looking rather sad. She sneered: "You actually met me, why don't you kneel down?  Didn't Mr. Bao teach you etiquette? " Xiao Yu'er bowed slightly and said, "It's natural to be polite when meeting the Queen Mother. But, please, I really can't tell" "What can't you tell?" "  People who know better don¡¯t speak secretly.¡± But he received a sneer from the other party: ¡°How dare you break into Cining Palace at night. Where is the person coming?¡± Suddenly, there was a flash of light.  , four palace maids holding long swords jumped out from behind the screen?  Is there still an F4 protector next to this wave of SS?  This is not a temple.  It¡¯s too late to say.  That was fast.  Four palace maids attacked with swords in hand.  Ghost Face said sternly: "What are you talking about all that time for? Aren't you going to fight?" He was blaming Xiao Yu'er Luo Liba Suo.  After saying that, he stepped forward with his sword and entangled with the four maids.  The four palace maids are no ordinary people. They have practiced a set of combined attack techniques - high mountains and flowing water to sweep away thousands of armies.  It seems that the palace has collected many precious secrets from the people, and even knows the art of four-person combined attack.  These four maids have been with the Queen Mother for many years, and they have already mastered the telepathic understanding.  Even the Grandmaster's ghost face could barely resist.  At this moment, the Queen Mother was eating grapes as if she was watching a show.  Xiao Yu'er frowned and immediately took action: "Capture the thief first, capture the king." After saying that, he took out his big knife and jumped onto the beam.  Attacking the Queen Mother with an action force and a reaction force.  The Queen Mother gently raised her little hand, and a gust of wind came.  And Xiao Yu'er felt the shock of this gust of wind.  "Pfft" Xiao Yu'er felt a sweetness in his throat.  A burst of blood arrows spurted out from the mouth.  Just one palm caused him to be so hurt, seeing how powerful this woman was.  "Xiao Yu'er!!!" Ghost Face was entangled now and couldn't free his hands to help. Seeing that his brother was injured, he asked: "Xiao Yu'er?!" "Ahem" Xiao Yu'er calmed down and said: "It's okay  , I can¡¯t die yet. Damn, this woman is really dangerous, I¡¯m afraid neither you nor I can be her match.¡± I thought to myself, we must find a way.  So, he secretly used his true energy to heal his wounds, but said: "The Queen Mother, she is indeed the Queen Mother, but she hides it so deeply? It seems that the death of those people is inseparable from you." He did not wait for the Queen Mother Liu to answer, but  Then he said: "You must have killed the emperor's biological mother, right?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Don't think I don't know. I was named the best arrester in the world by the emperor." "What on earth do you know?" Xiao  Yu'er said: "During the reign of Zhenzong, there were two concubines, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li, both of whom were pregnant¡± In history, Renzong did recognize his mother. According to historical records, Song Renzong was neither born by the queen nor the son of the imperial concubine, but by the maid Li who served Zhenzong Liu Defifei. After Renzong gave birth to him, Liu Defei took him as his wife.  He raised his own son and later succeeded to the throne at a young age. In this way, Concubine Liu De became the empress dowager. Since Renzong was too young to govern, Empress Dowager Liu did not know that his biological mother was Li.  However, Empress Dowager Liu was kind and kind. When Renzong's biological mother Li was seriously ill, Empress Dowager Liu promoted her from a palace maid to a concubine. Later, when Li died of illness, Empress Dowager Liu returned her status as a queen.  A few years later, after Empress Dowager Liu passed away, someone from Renzong's circle reported to Renzong: "Your Majesty was born to Concubine Li Chen, and Concubine Chen died unexpectedly."  . The implication is that Concubine Chen was killed by Empress Liu. Fortunately, Concubine Chen's coffin was still there, so Renzong personally opened Concubine Chen's coffin to inspect it.  , so her skin color is like that of a living person, not someone who killed her. Looking at her crown and clothes, she is indeed like a queen. This proves that Concubine Chen did die of illness, and Empress Dowager Liu did treat Concubine Chen as a queen.  Buried. When Renzong saw all this, he said with emotion: "How can you believe what people say!" It can be seen that Concubine Liu and Concubine Li are indeed real people, but the story of "Renzong's recognition of his mother" is definitely not what the legend says.  The whole process of this incident has nothing to do with Bao Zheng. This incident happened before Renzong's reign, that is, before the first year of Renzong's reign (1032 AD), and Bao Zheng was still a commoner until Renzong Jingyousi.  In 1037 AD, 29-year-old Bao Zheng passed the Jinshi examination and was sent to Jianchang County (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi). Because Bao Zheng wanted to honor his elderly parents, he requested to return to his hometown to serve.  So he became an official in Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui Province), but because he was not with his parents, he resigned and returned home to support his parents for many years. It was not until his parents died that Bao Zheng left home under the advice of his relatives and friends.  He went to work in Tianchang County (now part of Anhui), and he was already 40 years old and entering middle age. Therefore, he had not been to the capital for a long time, so how could he help Renzong find his biological mother! About Zhao.  There is a legend about Zhen's life experience. This is the story of "the civet cat exchanges for the prince". The legendary experience of the protagonist is almost known to everyone. The novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" written in the late Qing Dynasty said that the Liu family and the Li family were in Zhenzong.  She became pregnant at the same time in her later years. In order to compete for the throne, Concubine Liu used a scheming plan to replace Concubine Li's son with a skinned civet cat, slandering Concubine Li for giving birth to a monster. Zhenzong was furious and had Concubine Li imprisoned.  Later, the son born to Concubine Liu died in infancy, and the baby boy born to Concubine Li was made the prince after many twists and turns, and this was Renzong.  With help, Renzong learned the truth and recognized the blind Concubine Li. Liu, who had been promoted to the empress dowager, hanged himself in fear of crime. Since the Song Dynasty, novels, dramas and other arts have become popular among people.  With the interpretation of the form, the mystery of Renzong's biological mother becomes increasingly vivid and attracts the attention of the world.  Although many false or true contents have been added or deleted in the past dynasties, and the plots in operas and novels are also different.  However, this story itself is a big case. Is Renzong the son of the Liu family after Zhenzong, or the biological son of the concubine Li? Whether it is novels or operas, almost everyone agrees that Renzong was born to Concubine Li, not Concubine Li.  Son of Queen Liu.  The fact is generally the same.  Li was originally the maid of Empress Liu when she was a concubine. She was solemn and taciturn. Later, she was favored by Zhenzong and became one of the concubines in the harem.  Before Concubine Li, Concubine Zhenzong had given birth to five boys, all of whom died in infancy.  At this time, Zhenzong was worried and in the embarrassment of having no one to inherit the throne.  According to records, when Li was pregnant, she traveled with Zhenzong and accidentally knocked off her jade hairpin.  Zhenzong secretly divined in his heart: If the jade hairpin is intact, a boy will be born.  I took the jade hairpin from left to right and found it to be as good as ever.  This legend reflects from the side the eagerness of Zhenzong to seek a son. It is also a true portrayal of Zhenzong who had no choice but to seek help from the gods for a son.  Although it is not entirely credible, it is certain that Li later did give birth to a baby boy.  Zhenzong was naturally overjoyed when he got a son in middle age.  Before Renzong Zhao Zhen could open his eyes and remember the face of his biological mother, with the tacit consent of his father, Emperor Zhenzong, he was adopted as his own son by the Liu family, who had been unable to have children.  The biological mother Li was intimidated by Empress Liu's power and could only watch her child being taken away by others, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, otherwise it would not only endanger herself, but also bring disaster to her biological son.  In the first year of Qianxing, the 13-year-old Renzong came to the throne. As the empress dowager, Liu listened to the government from behind the curtain and had power in the government and the public.  Later generations, perhaps out of patriarchal consciousness or based on orthodox ideas, compared Empress Liu to Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and criticized her a lot for being in power.  In addition, in the early Song Dynasty, there was a precedent of brother's death, and Zhenzong did have a capable younger brother, King Zhao Yuanyan of Jing. Many rumors emerged that when Zhenzong was dying, Empress Liu used unfair means to exclude Zhao Yuanyan, thus grabbing the throne.  supreme power.  One of the most widely circulated sayings is that?, at the last moment before Zhenzong died of illness, Zhenzong pointed to his chest, stretched out five fingers, and then three fingers to signal the ministers who knelt on the bed to inquire about his illness.  Some people later speculated that at that time Zhenzong wanted his younger brother, the famous "eight thousand-year-old" Yuanyan in novels and plays, to serve as regent and assist Zhao Zhen.  However, Empress Liu later sent someone to explain to the ministers that the official statement only meant that the illness would subside in three or five days, and had no other intention.  After Yuan Yan heard about this, he found that he had become an obstacle to Empress Liu's power.  In order to avoid being subjected to cruel political attacks by Empress Liu, he immediately closed his doors and thanked guests, and no longer participated in court affairs until Empress Liu died and Renzong took charge.  However, the rumors are not true after all.  According to reliable information, when Zhenzong was critically ill, the only thing he was worried about was his young son, for fear that the throne would fall into the hands of others.  He summoned the ministers for the last time in his dormitory. Prime Minister Ding Wei, on behalf of the civil and military officials, made a solemn promise in front of Zhenzong. The crown prince was smart and wise, and was ready to inherit the throne. The ministers and others would do their best to assist him.  What's more, with the queen in the middle to judge military and state affairs, the world will be peaceful and all parties will submit.  If I dare to have any objections, I will endanger the country, the country, and the country, and I will be punished by death.  This is actually a guarantee to Zhenzong that he will fully assist the new emperor and will never allow him to abolish the establishment.  Zhenzong could no longer speak at that time and just nodded and smiled to express his satisfaction.  In fact, in Zhenzong's later years, Empress Liu became more and more powerful and basically controlled the government. With the support of Prime Minister Ding Wei and others, Zhenzong's worries were not unreasonable.  Zhenzong left an edict that "the Empress Dowager has the same authority to handle military and state affairs", which is equivalent to giving Empress Liu the highest power.  In this way, Renzong grew up day by day under the shadow of his adoptive mother's power.  When Empress Dowager Liu was alive, he never knew that Li Shunrong, one of the former emperor's concubines, was his biological mother.  This is probably directly related to Empress Dowager Liu. After all, she was able to dominate both the harem and the court.  In this case, I'm afraid no one would risk their lives to tell the secret of Renzong's life experience.  In the second year of Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu died of illness, and Renzong had just taken charge, so this secret gradually became public.  As for who was the first to tell Renzong the truth, it is difficult to figure out. Anyone who is at odds with Empress Dowager Liu may tell Renzong the truth, but the most likely ones are the "eight-thousand-year-old" emperor uncle Zhao Yuanyan and Concubine Yang.  After Zhenzong's death, Zhao Yuanyan lived in seclusion for more than 10 years, thanking guests behind closed doors and ignoring government affairs. When Renzong was in charge, it should be reasonable for Zhao Yuanyan to suddenly come back and tell the truth.  Concubine Yang had been taking care of Renzong's daily life since he was a child. Renzong was also very affectionate towards her. In the palace, he called Empress Liu the eldest empress and concubine Yang as the little empress. Concubine Yang was very proud to tell the truth in such a political environment.  possible.  In any case, Renzong understood his life experience.  After being deceived for 20 years, his biological mother also died inexplicably in the first year of the Ming Dynasty. When Renzong learned about his life experience, he was as shocked as the earth collapsed.  Unable to restrain his inner sorrow, he personally rode a bullock cart to Hongfuyuan where Concubine Li's coffin was placed. At the same time, he sent troops to surround Empress Liu's residence in order to find out the truth and deal with it.  At this time, Renzong not only learned about his life experience, but also heard that his biological mother had died unexpectedly. He must open the coffin to find out the truth.  When the coffin was opened, Concubine Li, whose body was soaked in mercury and her body was not broken, was lying peacefully in the coffin. Her appearance was lifelike and her clothes were gorgeous. Renzong sighed: "How can people believe what they say?" Then he ordered the soldiers who surrounded Liu to be dismissed.  The soldiers of the house burned incense in front of the portrait of Empress Dowager Liu and said: "From now on, the life of the empress is clear."  ¡®The implication is that Queen Mother Liu is innocent and did not murder her mother.  Mrs. Li was only named Concubine Chen when she was about to die. After Concubine Li's death, Empress Dowager Liu initially wanted to keep it secret and planned to hold the funeral with ordinary palace etiquette.  However, Prime Minister Lu Yijian urged the powerful Empress Dowager Liu that if she wanted to preserve the Liu family, she must give Concubine Li a grand burial. Only then did Empress Liu realize the seriousness of the problem and decided to mourn Concubine Li Chen with a high standard.  Although his biological mother was buried generously, it could not dilute Renzong's infinite guilt for the Li family. He must let his mother enjoy the status that she had never received during her lifetime.  After a fierce debate in the imperial court, the first empress of Zhenzong, Guo, was finally listed in the Ancestral Temple, and another Fengci Temple was built to enshrine the tablets of Liu and Li respectively.  Liu was posthumously given the posthumous title of Empress Dowager Zhuang Xianmingsu, and Li was posthumously given the posthumous title of Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi.  The establishment of Fengci Temple finally established the status of Renzong's biological mother. It also meant that the young Renzong became increasingly politically mature and gradually got rid of the shadow of Empress Dowager Liu.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
