074 The miserable Queen of Song
As a generation of emperors who reigned for twenty-one years, Liu Hong's concubines can be said to be innumerable. However, there are only three on the Internet now: one is Queen Song; the second is the Queen of Lingsi, He; The third is Queen Wang Rong.
Queen Lingsi is the He Lian we talked about in the previous chapter, because she made the biggest disturbance in history, so let's talk about her first, she finished, go back, let's talk about Queen Song.
Empress Song was the first empress of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, from Fufeng Pingling (Jinan), she was the great-granddaughter of the Song nobles who were framed and died tragically during the reign of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty
g)。
In the third year of Jianning (170 AD), Emperor Ling, who was already fifteen years old, reached the age of choosing a concubine, was born in a family of eunuchs, and the Song family, who was gentle and virtuous and knowledgeable, was elected to the court together with many show girls.
In that year, she became a member of the harem of Emperor Liu Hong and was named a nobleman.
In July of the following year, with her elegant and dignified demeanor, Song was made empress.
It seems that Jinan has a beautiful woman!
However, such a revered position did not bring her to the pinnacle of life, but made her the target of public criticism.
As the master of the harem, the Song family is not as arrogant and ruthless as the queens of the previous dynasties, she knows the danger of the harem environment, so she lives cautiously every day, and never relies on her identity to bully other concubines.
However, the harem is destined to be a woman's battlefield, and if you don't go to other people's troubles, it doesn't mean that others have to receive your favor; Just because you don't want to get involved in intrigue doesn't mean that others have to be equally self-contained.
The Song family's tolerance and generosity, in the eyes of other concubines, turned into weakness and bullying.
As a result, they often spoke ill of the Song family in front of Emperor Ling, and even did not hesitate to spread rumors and slander and maliciously slander.
After a long time, I heard a lot of gossip about the Song family, and Emperor Ling's impression of the Song family was greatly reduced.
What's more, the family education he received since he was a child made the Song family not like the charming and enchanting concubines at all, flattering and flattering, and selling cuteness and coquettishness.
The Song family, who was gradually alienated by Emperor Ling, lived alone in the deep harem where the dark arrow was difficult to prevent, and she had nothing but the cold queen's throne as her companion.
…… ……
Who knows, a sudden disaster deprived the Song family of the queen, and she completely lost even this only bit of comfort.
At that time, there was a narrow-minded eunuch named Wang Fu, who had a holiday with Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, and had always held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.
And this Bohai King Liu Kui has a concubine, who happens to be the aunt of the Song family, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew is quite close.
Wang Fu didn't expect that the Song family would be crowned the queen, and he was very favored by the Spirit Emperor at first, so he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of angering the Song family.
But later, he found that Emperor Ling was increasingly snubbing the Song family, so he began to make his own small calculations.
He thought to himself, a queen who has fallen out of favor will not be able to protect herself, and of course she will not pose a threat to herself.
Then, he boldly set out to take revenge on the King of the Bohai Sea.
The King of Bohai was the younger brother of Emperor Huan of Han, that is, the uncle of Emperor Ling, and according to the interests of the two, Wang Fu denounced that King Bohai wanted to rebel and seize the throne of Emperor Ling.
The mediocre Emperor Ling actually believed it, and as a result, the King of Bohai was forced to commit suicide, and the aunt of the Song family was naturally implicated, and then died unjustly in prison.
Wang Fu, who took revenge, still couldn't let go of his heart, and was worried all day long, what should he do if the Song family wanted to avenge her aunt one day?
So, if he didn't do anything, Wang Fu felt that the grass had to be eradicated, and Queen Song couldn't stay.
After making up his mind, he instigated Cheng A, a doctor in Taizhong, and others to join forces to falsely accuse the Song family, saying that she secretly practiced witchcraft in the palace, not only cursing other favored concubines, but also cursing Emperor Ling for having no heirs, in order to preserve her position in the harem.
The harem of the two Han Dynasty, but anyone who frames others on the grounds of witchcraft can easily succeed and has been tried repeatedly.
Therefore, the Song family was not spared, and the angry Ling Emperor, without thinking calmly at all, impulsively, deposed the Song family's rear position and put him under house arrest in the cold palace.
The Song family, who suffered injustice, was miserable in his heart, and no one told him.
Looking back on the past, she has been a queen for eight years, and has been working hard to learn the lessons of the harem of the previous dynasty, and has never bullied people, made things difficult for concubines, and never killed people because of jealousy.
Unexpectedly, after years of forbearance and retreat, he sent himself to the cold palace. Although Song was unwilling, she was powerless to defend herself, she knew that she could not reverse her fate.
In the end, the Song family died depressed in a humble room that no one cared about.
…… ……
The matter of witchcraft has always been very wide-ranging, affecting the entire family.
Song's father and brother, under the invasion of this bad luck, fell from the emperor's relatives to prisoners for a while, and finally did not escape the end of being killed.
Many of the attendants and Xiaohuangmen who served in the palace were often taken care of by Queen Song on weekdays, and they admired her character very much. Now, they are very sorry to see the Song family suffer such a grievance.
Therefore, everyone coincidentally took out their own savings, pooled money together, took the risk to collect Queen Song and Song Yu's father and son, and buried them in the old Gaomen Pavilion, hoping that this poor family could be reunited under the Yellow Spring.
Empress Song ended her life like this.
It is said that the Song family and Cao Cao's Cao family still have a marriage.
In Song Qi's sister Song was set up as the queen by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so he and the Song family, and his father Song Yu, was appointed as the ruling Jinwu and could not be named his countryman.
Song Qi was also named the Marquis of Qiangqiang.
In the first year of Xiping (172), Song Qi married the Cao family and married the daughter of Cao Chi, the captain of Shizhong and Changshui. and his wife's uncle Cao Cao became close friends.
After Empress Song was deposed, Song Qi, his brother and their father Song Yu were killed together.
At the same time, Cao Cao was also dismissed.
Cao Cao is still far away from their Cao family, how can it involve Cao Cao's head?
1: The relationship between Cao Chi and Cao Cao:
Cao Cao's grandfather was named Cao Teng.
Cao Teng has an elder brother named Cao Bao, and Cao Bao has a son named Cao Chi. "Translation" is that Cao Chi is the son of Cao Cao's grandfather and brother.
To put it simply, Cao Cao wants to call Cao Chi "uncle" or "uncle".
2: What is the relationship between Song Qi and Cao Cao:
As I said just now, Song Qi married Cao Chi's daughter. That is, he married Cao Cao's cousin (or a cousin who is more distant in blood).
3: The relationship between Empress Song and Cao Cao:
In fact, everyone should be able to almost understand the relationship between the Cao family and the Song family, let's take it again from Queen Song's side:
Empress Song was Cao Cao's grandfather, brother's son's daughter, and sister's husband's sister.
A bit of a tongue twister? Actually, if you are not stupid, born in China, you will understand their relationship if you speak out again.
With such a layer of kinship, Cao Cao was deposed because of Queen Song, and then he was dismissed from office, is he a little speechless? The most ridiculous is actually Cao Ren, because Cao Ren is much closer to Empress Song than Cao Cao.
4: The relationship between Empress Song and Cao Ren
Song Qi's brother-in-law or eldest brother is Cao Ren. By the way, Cao Chun is Cao Ren's younger brother.
Empress Song is the younger sister of the husband of Cao Ren's sister.
It stands to reason that Empress Song was deposed, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun and their father Cao Chi must have been given priority, but there is no relevant record of joint sitting in the history books, and Cao Cao, who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, was sat together.
Why is that? In fact, everything has to start with Cao Cao's "glorious" early resume.
When Cao Cao was twenty years old, he was investigated for filial piety, and became a petty official in Luoyang, and soon after he was named the lieutenant of northern Luoyang.
During his tenure as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, the "five-color stick" incident occurred, and Cao Cao also provoked the little yellow door (jiǎ) favored by the Ling Emperor
Shuo, because Cao Cao killed Jian Shuo's uncle.
After the five-color stick incident, basically no one in Luoyang dared to act recklessly.
Cao Cao became famous, but the eunuchs always wanted to let this Lord Cao leave quickly, how could Cao Cao leave justifiably? Of course, let him be promoted!
Not long after, Cao Cao was promoted to Dunqiu Ling because of his "merit" and the recommendation of many people.
Go to the place and take your own place, bye-bye!
Could it be that Cao Cao can work with peace of mind locally? No, because you offended the eunuchs at that time, your end would be miserable.
What the? Empress Song was deposed? Cao Cao and Empress Song are related? Okay, let Cao Cao sit down and be demoted to a concubine!
What the? Cao Ren? I haven't heard of it, what does it have to do with me, just rectify Cao Cao!
- Look at it, the Han Dynasty came here, how dim it was, without Dong Zhuo, it would have to fall, it would not fall, heaven would not tolerate it!
