Chapter 100: The Wuzang Family
Yu Qi's expression gradually cooled down, "Miss, are you okay" The medicine merchant walked out, a little worried that he was an attendant, a person who had also left the family in Western Xia, and a servant who had no family for generations. [Full text reading. Yu Qi no longer had the coquettishness just now, and said: "I'm fine, I just want to be quiet alone." ”
also retreated gloomily.
Wuzang Yuqi couldn't help but feel excited, she was originally a descendant of the famous Wuzang family, but she fell into such a depressed situation, this is all thanks to the Liang family's slut Thinking of this Liang family, Yuqi resentment but a faint admiration. This Liang's life is also quite legendary, after the death of the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, Wuzang Pang continued to regent as the uncle of the country, and married his daughter to the queen. did not hide Pang Pang in the country, and the power struggle between the growing emperor Liang Zuo and the growing contradiction became bigger and bigger. And this contradiction was finally intensified by the fuse of Liang's daughter-in-law, who did not hide the falsehood, and completely exploded.
The Liang family is a Han family that has been turned into a party, and it is natural to be happy to be able to marry into the powerful national uncle's family. However, Liang, who has always been arrogant and ambitious, felt a kind of dissatisfaction soon after this kind of euphoria.
As the sister-in-law of the queen Wuzang, the Liang family frequently entered the palace, and the splendor of the emperor's family made the Liang family's blood boil, and the story of the queen mother's Wuzang family made the Liang family fascinated, and at the same time opened another door in the heart of the Liang family.
Women from famous families can be rich and wealthy without their own efforts, but they may not be the ones who have the last laugh. Perhaps, opportunity and hard work can create another kind of woman, they are not willing to be mediocre, they are secretly lurking, waiting for the opportunity, and fighting hard to seize the opportunities lost due to their low background.
Since the Liang family has this heart, she often goes in and out of the palace by visiting her sister-in-law, and she has seen Emperor Liang Zuo a lot. came and went, Liang and Liang Zuo had a sister-brother relationship. Forgive Zuo risked offending his uncle and didn't hide it, and cheated on his beautiful cousin.
For the Liang family, this is a matter of gambling with life, once the adultery is leaked, forgiveness may be fine, but the first one to die must be her Liang, a little woman with no background.
The Liang family has always been cautious and arrogant, and the Liang family, as a Han Chinese, has a difficult time surviving in the country of the party members, even if it is a wealthy family, it is always so far behind the state power. At the beginning, the Liang family felt very honored to be able to climb the family of the country's uncle, but as time passed, the ambition of broadening their horizons and growing, coupled with the favor of the young emperor, the Liang family was inclined to the emperor's forgiveness. The fear of cheating, and the dissatisfaction with the long-term dictatorship of the unhidden false Pang, make it even more impossible to coexist between De Forgiveness and the unhidden false Pang. At the beginning, he was in the middle of the battle with the one who didn't hide the false face, and the young Lang Zuo always had the upper hand. Even if a cronie is killed, there is nothing to be done.
When the balance in Liang's heart completely tilted in favor of Liang Zuo, he frequently told Liang Zuo that he had not hidden the actions of Pang and his son into the palace, and planned countermeasures as soon as possible. It is recorded in the history books that one day, the Liang family suddenly came to sue secretly, saying that the private relationship between the two had been discovered by Wuzang Pang, and Wuzang Pang and his son secretly discussed, intending to kill Lang Zuo and set up a new monarch.
This explanation always feels more like an excuse, and Liang Zuo and Liang tried their best to confess that they were forced to do it, and they didn't hide Pang and started killing first. But he never hid the false Pang said, there is really no need to kill Liang Zuo, he is Liang Zuo's uncle and father-in-law, with a dual identity to control the government, if he kills Liang Zuo and sets up a new monarch, where does he have such a good identity as an excuse to continue to control the government. If you don't agree with this emperor's son-in-law, you can imprison the emperor, and you can still continue to give orders. If it is said that the cause is that the emperor did not hide the adultery between Pang Buyi and his daughter-in-law, then Liang must be the first person to be killed. So how could the Liang family know that there was no plan to hide the false Pang, and they were able to run into the palace to discuss countermeasures with Liang Zuo with ease
Naturally, what the real situation is so far can only be a guess.
In short, Liang Zuo and the Liang family set up a plan, contacted the general Manba, and took the opportunity to summon Wuzang Pang in the secret room to capture and kill him in one fell swoop, and then wiped out the entire Wuzang family, and the queen Wuzang was also given death.
And the Liang family, stepping on the head of her husband's entire family, ascended to the throne of the queen in April 1061 AD.
Soon after the Liang family entered the palace, she gave birth to the prince Bingchang at a very fast speed, and then was made the crown prince, the mother and son were honored, and the price she paid for killing her husband was finally compensated enough.
From now on, everything in the Liang family is completely disconnected from the surname Wuzang, and she is now the queen of Western Xia
Liang's married years, although there is no way to test, but as a Han person, she ascended to the position of the queen of the party, her son Bingchang was named the crown prince again, and her younger brother Liang Yibury was named the family minister. For a while, the family took off and the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and at this time, she should be satisfied.
Although her husband Liang Zuo has a good political performance, he is not a good husband seriously, and history records him: "Forgive Zuo is fierce and forbearing, and he is too rich to mess with his women, so his subordinates are resentful." "It seems that genetic factors are at fault, and Forgiveness Zuo's father Yuan Hao and mother Wuzang are both people who have left a lustful name, and even if they die, they both died in their own different love killings.
In the face of such a lustful and insatiable husband, I don't know what Liang thinks in his heart, but maybe at the beginning, what she wants to marry is not a husband under ordinary circumstances, what she wants to marry is just power, as long as her position as queen does not fall, she can accept it comfortably in any situation.
But judging from her later efforts to overturn all the policies pursued by her husband when he was alive, her heart is not without resentment. Maybe the first husband may like her and admire her, but unfortunately, she wants more than just a man's love.
Since she gave up the love of husband and wife to pursue power, after getting power, I am afraid she can't complain about the lack of affection. People always have to pay for what she gets.
In January 1068, her husband Yizong Liangzuo of the Western Xia Dynasty was wounded in battle with the Northern Song Dynasty and died of his wounds at the age of 21. After the death of Liang Zuo, the seven-year-old prince ascended the throne as usual. Liang was promoted to empress dowager, replacing his son as regent and becoming the head of the Western Xia Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Liang, who was in her early 20s, let out a long breath that she had finally looked forward to this day, and this day came earlier than she expected.
As soon as the Empress Dowager Liang was in power, she was ordering. She vigorously cultivated her relatives who were in charge of the party, reused her brother Liang Yi as the minister of state, and reused her lover and other party nobles to strengthen her control over the government.
However, the biggest difference between the ruling power of the Empress Dowager Liang and the ruling power of the Empress Dowager Wuzang is that her pressure does not come from outside the country, but from within the country.
Because she is a Han Chinese.
How could the country of the party members allow a Han person to give orders, which made the Empress Dowager Liang under pressure from various party and tribes in the court and the central government at the beginning of her reign. During the reign of Liang Zuo, vigorously promoting sinicization, it inevitably affected the interests of many party nobles, and this account, in the eyes of the party nobles at that time, was naturally caused by the influence of Liang Hou, who was a Han woman. What's more, in the last year of Lang Zuo's lifetime, the Suizhou guard returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia lost Suizhou. This has become a crime accusation of all ethnic groups in the party against Lang Zuo's efforts to promote sinicization.
The issue of Empress Dowager Liang's Han identity became her original sin and the biggest obstacle to her governance.
To do this, she must clear her name, to erase the impression that "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different"; To this end, she has to do her best to eliminate any suspicion that she may have Han Chinese, and she wants to show herself more like a party member than a party member.
In order to curry favor with the party nobles, the Empress Dowager Liang ordered the abolition of all the sinicization measures implemented by her husband Liang Zuo, the abolition of the Han rites, and the restoration of the party rites.
This move got the favor of some of the party nobles.,But there are also people who don't want to.,Even if it's a party noble,It's also divided into the old and new party.,Some people who got benefits in the process of sinicization.,And she started a battle for interests.。 As a result, policies have been repeated, the economy has been damaged, and the party and wealthy have to plunder money on a large scale, but the people have been impoverished, and naturally the people's grievances are boiling.
In order to divert the contradiction of the declining domestic economy, the Empress Dowager Liang went further, under the pretext that the Song Dynasty was not allowed to return to Suizhou and the Song Xia private market was not allowed, she tore up the Song-Xia Peace Treaty signed by Liang Zuo, and launched several wars against the Song Dynasty.
As one of the few descendants who have no collectors, the jade beggars who have no treasures should have a blatant hatred for the Liang family, if it weren't for her, the no collector would not be so depressed at all, but as a woman, this Liang's life is really shocking and sighing.
Wuzangyu looked at the lone star in the sky, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, how should she choose, where should she go
Chen Qiaoqiao was worried about this Aunt Xue, and hurriedly went out early in the morning, and when she walked to the road, a second-rate thing bumped into her, and Chen Qiaoqiao was caught off guard and almost bumped into her arms. "Oops, whose little woman is this, she is really handsome, uncle, I can see that it is itchy and itchy, this watery skin, oops, I don't know if there are white and tender thighs" This flirtatious words suddenly attracted the sideways eyes of the people next to them.
Chen Qiaoqiao fixed her eyes and saw that it was a lewd man with triangular eyes, and Chen Qiaoqiao's nameless karmic fire rushed up, "Your old sow's thighs are white and tender, and your dog's legs are a little compatible, it's better to go back and hug and gnaw it, that's called a fat beauty."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and someone with good deeds shouted: "Look at the second dog, this little lady is smart, how do you know that you are a dog's leg, I'm afraid I have known you for a long time."
