I never expected that I finally got some news from Gonggong Guo, "The Queen Mother ......"

Sure enough, as Xiao Yu'er guessed, the biggest in the palace is not the emperor but the queen mother, her old man, a woman who has lost her husband is the most terrible, not to mention the old witch who has no heirs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In history, the Empress Dowager Liu, who had a fight with Wu Zetian, was indeed not a small person. So the two rushed to Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother lived.

Empress Dowager Liu was resting, and she heard footsteps and said, "It's coming, why don't you come in?" ”

Xiao Yu'er and the ghost face looked at each other, it seems that this Empress Dowager Liu is a master. The hidden kung fu of the two is a must. Ghost Face is a killer, so he naturally has a set of hidden exercises. And the little fish with a system is even more incredible, just make a set of hidden pills, and you can hide it.

This old witch is definitely over level 60, more than 10 levels higher than the two of them.

Then again, since you're here, you can't go. So the two made up their minds and entered Cining Palace.

"Squeak"

The door was pushed open, and they saw a woman sitting on the bed bewitchingly, if they didn't know that this was Cining Palace, they would definitely think it was the bedroom of a mother.

This Empress Dowager Liu can't tell that she is an old woman at all, but a very enchanting young woman, no, it should be the kind of resentful woman who has not been exposed for a long time.

Ghost Face is a master who likes to destroy flowers with spicy hands, grabbing the sword in his hand and preparing to open a monster.

Xiao Yu'er raised his right hand to stop the ghost face and said:

"Wait"

The ghost face looked at Xiao Yu'er, is this kid going to defect? Confused by this witch? Hopefully he can give an explanation.

Xiao Yu'er glanced at it and didn't give an explanation, but stepped forward to ask Andao: "Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zuo catch Xiao Yu'er to see the Queen Mother, Niang Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Although the Empress Dowager Liu couldn't see her appearance with a veil on her face, Xiao Yu'er secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager, and saw that her face was extremely white and her eyes were blazing, but her brows were slightly frowned, and she seemed to be quite sad. I saw a sneer: "I actually saw this palace, why don't you kneel?" Didn't Master Bao teach you etiquette? ”

Xiao Yu'er bowed slightly and said, "When I saw the Queen Mother, the old man naturally wanted to be polite, but, you." Forgive me for poking in the lower eye, I really can't see it..."

"Can't see anything?"

"Those who understand do not speak in secret."

ushered in a sneer from the other party: "What a boldness, I actually broke into Cining Palace at night." Where's the person? Take it for the mourning family. ”

In an instant, a burst of bright light flashed, and four palace maids holding long swords jumped out from behind the screen? Could it be that this boss still needs to have an F4 protector next to him? This is not a temple.

It's too late. At that time, four palace maids attacked with long swords.

Ghost Face said sharply: "Why do you talk about so much effort?" Not to fight yet? "He's complaining about Rory, the little fish. After speaking, he stepped forward with his sword and entangled with the four palace maids.

The four palace maids are not idle people, and they have practiced a set of combined attack techniques - mountains and flowing water, sweeping thousands of armies. It seems that this palace has collected a lot of precious secrets among the people, and even the four people can combine the technique.

These four palace maids have been by the Queen Mother's side for many years, and they have long mastered the wisdom of the heart. Even the ghost face of the Grandmaster could barely parry.

At this moment, the Queen Mother is eating grapes, as if she is watching a play. Xiao Yu'er frowned, and immediately said, "Capture the thief and capture the king first." ”

After speaking, he took out a big knife and jumped on the beam of the house, and attacked the queen mother with a force and a reaction force.

The Queen Mother's little hand was raised slightly. A gust of wind hits. And the little fish felt the shock of this gust of wind.

"Poof"

Xiao Yu'er felt a sweetness in her throat, and a burst of blood arrows spurted out of her mouth. Just one palm made him hurt so much, seeing that this woman was amazing.

"Little Fish !!"

Ghost Face was now entangled and had no way to free up his hands to help, and when he saw that his brother was injured, he asked, "Little Yu'er?!" ”

"Ahem" Xiao Yu'er relieved himself and said, "It's okay, I can't die yet." Sister, this woman is really dangerous, I'm afraid you and I are not her opponent together. "Secretly, I have to find a way.

So, he secretly healed his true qi. said in his mouth: "The Queen Mother, sure enough, is the Queen Mother, but she is hidden deeply?" It seems that the death of those people is inseparable from you. ”

didn't wait for Empress Dowager Liu to answer, but said again: "Presumably the emperor's biological mother was also killed by you, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't think I don't know. I was named the first in the world by the emperor. ”

"What the hell do you know?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "During the Zhenzong period. There are two concubines, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li, both of whom have their own pregnancies..."

In history, Renzong did recognize his mother. According to historical records, Song Renzong was neither born to the empress nor the son of the imperial concubine, but to the palace maid Li who served Zhenzong Liu Defei. After Renzong was born. Concubine Liu Defei adopted him as her own son, raised him personally, and later succeeded to the throne when she was young. In this way, Concubine Liu Defei became the queen mother. Because Renzong was too young to govern, the Empress Dowager Liu listened to the government. Renzong didn't know that his biological mother was the Li family, and the ministers of the court and the central government did not dare to say it because they were afraid of the power of the empress dowager. But Empress Dowager Liu was kind and kind, and when Renzong's biological mother Li was seriously ill, Empress Dowager Liu promoted her from a palace maid to a concubine. Later, Li died of illness, and Empress Dowager Liu also gave a generous burial with the queen's gift, which was also a great honor for a person born as a palace maid. A few years later, after the death of Empress Dowager Liu, some people around Renzong played Ming 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. Exactly what, Renzong naturally wants to find out. Fortunately, Concubine Chen's coffin was still there, so Renzong personally opened Concubine Chen's coffin to inspect it. Because Concubine Chen's body was protected by mercury, her skin color was like that of a living person, and she did not look like she had been killed. Look at her crown dress again, she is indeed like a queen. This proves that Concubine Chen did die of illness at the beginning, and Empress Dowager Liu did bury Concubine Chen according to the queen's ceremony. When Renzong saw all this, he said with emotion: 'How can people believe their words!' From this, it can be seen that Concubine Liu and Concubine Li do have their own people, but their affairs are by no means what the legend says.

The whole process of the incident of 'Renzong recognizing his mother' has nothing to do with Bao Zheng. This happened before Renzong's pro-government, that is, before the first year of Renzong's Mingdao (1032 AD), and at this time Bao Zheng was still a cloth commoner. It was not until the fourth year of Renzong Jingyou (1037 AD) that the 29-year-old Bao Zheng was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and was sent to Jianchang County (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi) to serve. But because he was not with his parents, Bao Zheng resigned and went home and raised his parents for many years. Until the death of both parents. At the end of Bao Zheng's mourning period, he left home to serve in Tianchang County (now Anhui) under the advice of relatives and friends, and he was already 40 years old at this time. I'm middle aged. Therefore, he has not been to the capital for a long time, how can he help Renzong find his biological mother!

Regarding Zhao Zhen's life experience, there is a saying that has been circulated to this day. This is the story of 'Tanuki for Prince'. The legendary experience of the protagonist is almost a household name, and women and children know it. The novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" written at the end of the Qing Dynasty said that Liu and Li were pregnant at the same time in Zhenzong's later years, and in order to compete to be the mother of the main palace, Concubine Liu worked in a scheming and replaced the son born to Li with a skinned tanuki, slandering Concubine Li for giving birth to a demon. Zhenzong was furious and sent Concubine Li into the cold palace, and made Concubine Liu the queen. Later, the heavens were angry and resentful, and the son born to Concubine Liu died. And the baby boy born to Concubine Li was made the crown prince after twists and turns and ascended to the throne, this is Renzong. With Bao Zheng's help, Renzong learned the truth and recognized Concubine Li, who was blind, while Liu, who had been promoted to empress dowager, hanged herself in fear of sin.

Since the Song Dynasty, due to the interpretation of various art forms such as novels and dramas, the mystery of Renzong's biological mother has become more and more vivid and has attracted the attention of the world. Although the successive dynasties have added and deleted a lot of content that is either false or true, and. The plot in the opera and the novel is also different. However, this story itself is a big case, whether Renzong is the son of the Liu family after Zhenzong, or the concubine Li's own son. Whether it is a novel or an opera, almost unanimously believes that Renzong was born to Concubine Li, not the son of Empress Liu.

That's pretty much the case. Li was originally the maid when Empress Liu was a concubine, and she was solemn and silent. Later, he was favored by Zhenzong and became one of the harem concubines. Before Concubine Li, Concubine Zhenzong had given birth to 5 boys, all of whom died one after another. 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 touched the jade hairpin. Zhenzong secretly said in his heart: If the jade hairpin is intact, it should give birth to a boy. The jade hairpin was taken from the left and right, and it was as good as ever. This legend reflects the urgent mentality of Zhenzong to seek a son, and it is also a true portrayal of Zhenzong's helplessness to ask for help from the gods to descend to the child. Although it is not entirely credible, it is certain that Lee did give birth to a baby boy. Zhenzong was middle-aged and had a son, so he was naturally overjoyed. Before Renzong Zhao Zhen could open his eyes and remember the face of his biological mother, with the acquiescence of his father Emperor Zhenzong, he was taken as his own son by the Liu family, who had not been able to give birth. The biological mother Li was intimidated by Empress Liu's power, so she could only watch her child being taken away by others, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, otherwise she would not only harm herself, but also bring disaster to her biological son.

In the first year of Qianxing, the 13-year-old Renzong ascended the throne, and the Liu family listened to the government as the empress dowager, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition. Later generations may be out of a sense of male power, or perhaps based on orthodoxy, comparing Empress Liu to Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many criticisms of her in power. In addition, there was a precedent in the early Song Dynasty that a brother died and a brother died, and Zhenzong did have a capable younger brother, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Jing, so there were many rumors that Empress Liu used improper means to reject Zhao Yuanyan when Zhenzong was dying, thus seizing the highest power. One of the most widely circulated accounts that at the last moment before Zhenzong's death, Zhenzong pointed to his chest, stretched out five fingers, and then stretched out three fingers to signal the ministers who were bowing to the bed. Later, some people speculated that at that time, Zhenzong wanted his younger brother, that is, the well-known '8,000-year-old' Yuan Yan, who is very well-known in the novel and drama, to be the regent and assist Zhao Zhen. However, Empress Liu sent someone to explain to the minister afterwards that what the official family showed only meant that the illness could be retreated on the third or fifth day, and there was no other intention. When Yuan Yan heard about this, he found that he had become an obstacle to Empress Liu's rise to power. In order to avoid being brutally attacked by Empress Liu, he immediately closed his door and no longer participated in the affairs of the court and China until Empress Liu died, and Renzong was in power.

However, the rumors are not true after all. According to reliable records, when Zhenzong was critically ill, the only one who was not at ease 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 the dormitory, and the prime minister Ding Wei swore in front of Zhenzong on behalf of the civil and military officials that the crown prince was wise and wise, and was ready to inherit the throne, and the ministers would do their best to assist. What's more, there is a queen in the middle to adjudicate military affairs, the world is peaceful, and the Quartet is subservient. If the ministers dare to disagree, they will endanger the society and deserve death. This is actually a promise to Zhenzong that he will fully assist the new emperor and will never allow the intention of abolishing the throne. Zhenzong was no longer able to speak at that time, but just nodded and smiled, expressing satisfaction. In fact, in Zhenzong's later years, Empress Liu's power became more and more powerful, and she basically controlled the government, coupled with the support of Prime Minister Ding Wei and others, so Zhenzong's worries were not unreasonable. Zhenzong left an edict to 'the empress dowager to dispose of military and state affairs equally', which is equivalent to allowing Empress Liu to hold the supreme 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 emperor's concubines, was his biological mother. This is probably directly related to Empress Dowager Liu, after all, she can cover the sky with one hand in the harem and inside and outside the court. In this case, I am afraid that no one will risk their lives to tell Renzong's life secret. In the second year of Mingdao, Empress Dowager Liu died of illness, and Renzong had just become pro-government, and this secret was gradually revealed. As for who first told Renzong the truth, it is difficult to figure out, and it is possible for those who were at odds with Empress Dowager Liu to explain the truth to Renzong, but the most likely ones were the '8,000-year-old' imperial uncle Zhao Yuanyan and Concubine Yang. Zhao Yuanyan since the death of Zhenzong, after more than 10 years of seclusion, closed doors, ignoring the government, on the occasion of Renzong's pro-government, Zhao Yuanyan suddenly came back, telling the truth, it should be reasonable. Concubine Yang has been taking care of Renzong's diet and daily life since she was a child, and Renzong also has great feelings for her, calling Empress Liu the eldest lady in the palace, and calling Concubine Yang the little lady, and it is very possible for Concubine Yang to tell the truth in such a political environment. In any case, Renzong learned about his origins.

After 20 years of deception, his biological mother also died in the first year of Mingdao, and when Renzong knew his background, his shock was tantamount to the collapse of the sky. He couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and while personally riding an ox cart to the Hongfu Courtyard where Concubine Li's coffin was placed, 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 own background, but also heard that his biological mother had died unexpectedly, and he must open the coffin to check the truth. When the coffin was opened, I saw Concubine Li, who had been soaked in mercury and whose body was not bad, lying peacefully in the coffin, with a lifelike appearance and gorgeous clothes. He immediately ordered the dismissal of the soldiers who surrounded Liu's house, and burned incense in front of the statue of Empress Dowager Liu, saying: "From now on, the life of the eldest lady is clear. The implication is that Empress Dowager Liu is innocent, and she did not murder her mother.

Li was only named Concubine Chen when she was dying, and after the death of Concubine Li, Empress Dowager Liu initially wanted to keep it a secret and prepare to hold a funeral with ordinary palace etiquette. However, Prime Minister Lu Yijian strongly persuaded the powerful Empress Dowager Liu that if she wanted to protect the Liu family, she must bury Concubine Li, and Empress Liu realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to mourn Concubine Li Chen with a high standard. Although his biological mother was buried richly, it could not dilute Renzong's infinite guilt towards the Li family, and he must let his mother enjoy the status that he had not received in his lifetime. After a fierce debate in the imperial court, in the end, the first queen of Zhenzong, Guo, was listed in the Taimiao, and another Fengci Temple was built to enshrine the tablets of Liu and Li respectively. Liu was posthumously named the Empress Dowager of Zhuang Xian Mingsu, and Li was posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi. The establishment of Fengci Temple finally established the status of Renzong's biological mother, and at the same time, it also meant that the young Renzong became more and more politically mature and gradually got rid of the shadow of Empress Dowager Liu.
