In addition to princesses, women who are generally given the status of foreign wives; The rank of knighthood is determined by the official rank of the husband, for example, the first lady, the second lady, the third lady, the fourth respectful, the fifth pleasant, the sixth and the seventh, and the seven and below are all the foreign women ranks.

In the Song and Tang dynasties, the harem women had a clear status, in order:

1. Queen.

2. Four ladies: concubines, concubines, concubines, and virtuous concubines (the above is a product).

There are four types of clothing for women: court clothes, official clothes, sacrificial clothes, and regular clothes.

The first three are ceremonial dresses, i.e., ceremonial garments, which are worn by people on formal occasions after the ceremonial hierarchy.

Regular clothes are the clothes that people wear in their daily lives.

Zhao Heng's nurse Liu Shi Yuying was a country woman who was rewarded as the Lady of Qin; It shows her status in the heart of Emperor Zhenzong.

Liu's Yuying was named the lady of Qin, as if she was an inner wife; Zhao Heng regarded him as a person in the palace.

However, after all, the Liu family was blessed with a shallow life, and Emperor Zhenzong rewarded her as the wife of the Qin State, and soon fell seriously ill; In the last month before his death, Emperor Zhenzong visited every day.

A high-ranking emperor has countless government affairs to deal with every day; In an extremely busy situation, he still has to find time to visit his nursing mother every day, which is enough to see how much Zhao Heng of the True Sect attaches great importance to feelings.

After Liu's Yuying died, Zhenzong Zhao Heng personally mourned and used the royal honor guard to bury her; In the hierarchical society of the Song Dynasty, a country woman could receive this kind of honor, which can be described as unprecedented and unprecedented.

When it comes to Zhao Heng's nursing mother, I have to talk about his biological mother.

Song Zhenzong's biological mother was Empress Yuande (943-977 AD) Li, the concubine of Song Taizong, a Zhending person, and the daughter of Li Ying, the defense envoy of Qianzhou.

Empress Yuande gave birth to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, and Zhao Heng, the emperor of Song Zhenzong, in the second year of Taiping Xingguo (977 AD); Chinese New Year's Eve is fourteen years old.

In other words, Song Zhenzong's biological mother died when he was only 9 years old, and he regarded the nursing mother as his "mother".

After Zhenzong ascended the throne, he posthumously named his mother as a virtuous concubine, and later promoted to the title of queen mother; There is a boss who says Yuande.

In the third year of Xianping (1000 AD), he was buried in Yongxi Mausoleum. In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), Li Ying, the father of Empress Li, was posthumously awarded the title of Inspector Tai Lieutenant, Anguo Army Jiedu, and King of Changshan County, and his mother was Mrs. Wei Guotai.

Zhao Xiang, the three-year ceremonial official of Dazhong Xiangfu, asked Li Hou to Taizong's kitchen.

Zhenzong said: "This important matter is also discussed by the ceremonial officials. ”

In the autumn of the sixth year, after the prime minister Wang Dan and the ministers were invited, the word "Tai" was removed from the honorific name, and the temple was promoted to the Taimiao, which was located in the second place of Empress Li of Mingde.

said that when Liu Yuying saw Zhao Heng bringing a group of people into the palace, she especially saw Zhao Heng with the bewitching Liu Min all day long; asked Zhang Qi what was going on.

Zhang Qi is Zhao Heng's intimate servant, of course, he will not tell Liu Yuying what happened, and Liu Yuying asked Zhang Qi to kneel on the ground; Carrying a feather duster in his hand, he slapped and forced Zhang Qi to tell the truth.

It was impossible for Zhang Qi to betray his master, and Zhao Heng came in when he knelt on the ground and was beaten by the lady of Qin Guo.

Zhao Heng saw the nurse beating Zhang Qi, and after asking about the situation, he knelt on the ground and asked the nurse for forgiveness.

Seeing Zhao Heng kneeling down for herself, Liu Yuying hurriedly helped him up from the ground.

Although the Liu family is harsh on Zhao Heng, he is a prince after all; How can you kneel down for yourself a country woman.

After the Liu family helped Zhao Heng up, he solemnly asked him to send Liu Min and her family out of the palace.

Zhao Heng regarded the nurse as his own child, but this time he said to Liu's strong cow: "The head can be broken and the blood can flow, if you want to separate Xiao Wang and Liu Min, you can't!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Heng didn't listen to her, Liu's Yuying cried a lot and wanted to use her tears to influence Zhao Heng; But Zhao Heng ate the scale hammer and was hard-hearted, and he didn't eat it.

Liu Yuying had no choice but to go to the Guanjia Hall to report to Song Taizong.

Guanjia Temple? What is the Guanjia Hall for, why does it sound so awkward? Tell you, the Guanjia Hall is the place where the emperor persuaded the people to farm.

The imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was built on the model of Luoyang Palace, which was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties; The palace is grandly constructed; After the Northern Song Dynasty established the capital in Bianliang, it was built on the basis of the old palace of the five dynasties according to the construction scale of the Luoyang Palace.

Miyagi is five miles around. The main hall of the Imperial Palace is called Daekyeiden, and it is the place where the grand ceremony is held.

The south of the Daqing Hall is the central government office, and there is a gatehouse between the two.

The Zichen Hall in the north of the Daqing Hall is the front hall of the emperor's dynasty; The monthly court meeting, the congratulatory ceremony at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony, and the reception of Khitan envoys are all held in the Zichen Palace.

The vertical arch hall on the west side of the Daqing Hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government on weekdays.

The Wende Hall between the purple and vertical arches is the place where the emperor stays and rests before and after retreating.

The banquet hall in the palace is the Jiying Palace, the Shengping Building. There were not many palaces in the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the regulations of the harem were not very large.

There are several emperor's bedrooms in the harem, among which Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, lives in Funing Palace, in addition to the palace of the concubine, there are still pools, pavilions, pavilions, platforms and other entertainment places in the harem.

In order to show the diligence and thrift, love for the people and the importance of agricultural affairs, Song Taizu and Song Taizong set up the Guanjia Hall and the Silkworm Palace in the imperial palace.

Guanjia Hall is the place where the emperor plants rice in front of the palace every year and harvests it after autumn; The king of a kingdom carved out a piece of land in front of the palace to grow wheat and rice in it, and hoeed and harvested; Practice Li Kun's verses:

On the afternoon of hoeing day,

Sweat drops down the soil.

Who knows the Chinese food on the plate,

Every grain is hard.

As the mother of a country, the queen holds a silkworm ceremony in the silkworm palace every spring; And complete the whole process of sericulture, to the people to demonstrate.

Qin Guo's wife Liu Shi Yuying knew that Song Taizong would definitely be in the Guanjia Palace, so she showed her identity and walked straight there.

Mrs. Qin Guo walked into the courtyard of the Guanjia Palace, and sure enough, she saw a forest of soldiers and police all around; In the half-human-tall millet field, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi wore a straw hat that folk farmers were accustomed to wearing, and carried a hoe in his hand to hoe the millet grain; Accompanying the emperor on the hoe were the eunuch Wang Jien and more than a dozen small eunuchs, and Lan Caihe, the chief steward of the inner house, was also among them.

Mrs. Qin Guo stopped on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave has something important to report......
