Chapter 213: Audience

These eldest sisters are all lightly armed, and the specific extent of how light they are not mentioned in the history books, but there is a record of "", presumably "light" to the maximum extent that the place that can not be covered is omitted as much as possible, and it is said that it is a rule of the game for the activity to show the chest. [No pop-ups. This kind of "hand-to-hand" performance, if you put it mildly, seems to be called a body art display.

It is not surprising to say that the small people in the market compete for three layers and three layers outside the three layers, because they have little knowledge in the first place, and it can be seen that the well-informed emperor also disregarded his noble status to join in the fun, which is a little puzzling. However, it is incomprehensible, and Song Renzong just ignored the world and opened his eyes.

On a Shangyuan day during the Jiayou period, Zhao Zhen and his concubine went to Xuandemen Square to have fun with the people. At that time, a lively performance of 100 operas was taking place in the square. Song Renzong was not interested in looking at the east and west, but he accidentally found a hot women's sumo performance in progress, and he was immediately interested, and he was very engaged and fascinated to watch it. It is estimated that the beautiful demeanor and exquisite skills of the "female flights" impressed Renzong, and he immediately instructed these contestants to be rewarded with silver silks. The emperor's reward made the contestants excited, and the performances became more and more intense, and wonderful scenes appeared from time to time.

The ** show of the women's wrestlers made Emperor Renzong really used once, but it angered a well-known courtier who was responsible for writing a note for the saint Sima Guang, the old gentleman thought that Renzong's move should not be, in such a sacred place to stage this very "yellow" and "violent" "" is already absurd, the emperor not only did not ban it, but took the lead in watching it in the public, not only to see it himself, but also to let the concubine see it together, what is this called to be harmful in the light, and to be harmful in the heavy. He angrily handed over an excerpt on the sumo wrestling of the women of the Shangyuan Order, publicly criticized Emperor Renzong's "indiscretions", and strongly suggested that the relevant departments should strengthen the management of the market environment, carry out a concentrated "anti-pornography" campaign against such immoral performances, and strictly order that "in the future, women shall not gather in the market to play with this."

Although Sima Guang's criticism and suggestions made Song Renzong unhappy, Song Renzong was not easy to refute, after all, Gangchang ethics should be the first to set an example for the Son of Heaven. Due to the strong suppression of public opinion by Sima Weidao, the women's sumo wrestling game that was popular in Kyoto has since been greatly curtailed. It is only practiced in the residences of dignitaries and nobles, and it is rare to see it like this in the palace.

Could it be that this Song Shenzong wanted to imply that Sima Guang had gone through three dynasties, was the patriarch of the patriarchs, and was the leader of the old school, and Song Shenzong opposed his ideas with such fanfare and carried forward this sumo sport again

King Wu Rong's heart jumped, could it be that this Song Shenzong still had the idea of changing the law

The prince looked at Chen Qiaoqiao curiously, with a puzzled face, what King Wu Rong could bring must be either rich or noble, and this dress seemed to be the wife of a meritorious family, but in his memory, there was no such lady

I couldn't help asking: "This is" Seeing King Wu Rong's eyebrows, he hurriedly said: "The old slave is just going in to report it, the emperor has specially ordered it, and no one is allowed to disturb the Queen Mother's Yaxing old slave today, but I'm afraid of hitting the muzzle of the gun."

King Wu Rong smiled slightly, and said disappreliantly: "Let's just say that this king brought his favorite woman to ask to see the Queen Mother, oh yes, then the girl is also there."

The prince was suddenly very surprised, and involuntarily looked at Chen Qiaoqiao a few more times, and said with a smile: "The old slave knows that he said this, alas, don't say it, that there is no hidden jade beggar is really a lovely person, I heard that the queen mother likes sumo, and she has to go to the end of the drill, but the queen mother is amused."

Chen Qiaoqiao's face changed slightly, she was originally very shy under the scrutiny of the princess, but when she heard that there was no hidden jade beggar, she felt very uncomfortable.

The eunuch went in and passed it on, the queen mother was watching the performance with relish in the surroundings of the emperor and the concubine, and the jade beggar was practicing with a palace maid, although it was clumsy but very delicate movements, so that everyone couldn't help laughing. Yinhuo was also invited to watch from the sidelines, but his heart was barren, thinking of Chen Qiaoqiao's questioning, and thinking of her questioning. Thinking of his speechlessness, thinking of King Wu Rong's entanglement, and thinking of Song Zimo's angry scolding, his heart was messy

Looking at the Wuzang Yuqi who kept flirting on the stage, he was really tired of hearing everyone's ridicule

The Queen Mother was watching with great interest, and the princess came over, "The Queen Mother is a great joy, King Wu Rong asks to see her."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but be happy, "You are pleasing, King Wu Rong is here, what kind of happy event is it that I haven't seen my family for a long time."

Song Shenzong's expression became obscure, he arranged for the radical faction in the court to watch sumo together, hinting that he was going to deal with the old school's intentions, how could this King Wu Rong appear

"Oh, Queen Mother, don't you know, the prince brought a delicate beauty, saying that she was the person she liked, and asked to see the Queen Mother"

"Oh" The Queen Mother instantly became excited, this son, since that Pang Di got married, his heart was like death, and later marrying the princess was just faint, and the princess was also an unblessed person, and the situation went in a few years, since then, King Wu Rong has been very cold to women, and there are very few concubines

Empress Dowager Gao is secretly anxious, this is her favorite son, thinking of King Najia indulging in Buddhism, King Wu Rong is still alone, her heart is very sad, although Song Shenzong is very filial, almost everything has to obey her will, but she still has regrets in her heart

"Hurry up and call him in, the mourning family wants to see what kind of woman it is" The Queen Mother's voice was full of excitement. Everyone was attracted by this, but no one watched the contest on stage.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the old slave looks good" The princess naturally would not let go of this opportunity to please, and hurriedly called the little eunuch to pass it on, and he said good things to the queen mother, "Look at the style of the whole body, it is not a simple woman"

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "There is no way for the mourning family, as long as it is an innocent woman, the mourning family will be approved."

Song Shenzong smiled, "Queen Mother, you can rest assured, the second brother has always been above the top, how can an ordinary woman be a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance."

In fact, Song Shenzong also hoped that he could find a beautiful flower, he didn't know that Zhao Hao liked Pang Di, so he issued a decree to give marriage, and fulfilled Wang Yan, the emperor knew that King Wu Rong had always been obsessed, and since then, there has been a gap between the brothers, and it seems that that is the cause of their centrifugation

I don't know why, Yinhuo's chest swelled slightly, and he even had a bad premonition, that is, didn't Chen Qiaoqiao go to King Wu Rong's mansion in a hurry today, isn't it just to enter the palace with King Wu Rong to determine her identity

Could it be that because she refused to face up to her relationship with the Wuzang Yuqi, she decided so quickly that she wanted the pipa not to hug Yinhuo's chest hurt

Chen Qiaoqiao followed King Wu Rong into the Xuande Palace, knowing that what she wanted to see was the famous Queen Mother of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Talking, and couldn't stop being nervous

This Gao Tao is really too famous, her background is extremely noble, and later generations often compare her with Chen Ajiao, the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

It's just that in terms of happiness, this Gao Tao is a hundred times more than this Chen Ajiao

Empress Gao's background is also very similar to that of Empress Chen: her father is a nobleman who has made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, and she has been prominent for generations; The matrilineal line and the harem are closely related, and Empress Gao's mother, Lady Cao, is the sister of Empress Cao of Song Renzong. Empress Cao loves this niece very much, and she has been brought into the palace since she was a child and raised in the queen's palace.

Queen Gao's engagement method is similar to that of Queen Chen Ajiao:

Song Renzong's son died early, so he raised his nephew Zhao Zongshi and Song Yingzong, who was later renamed Zhao Shu, in the palace to comfort his loneliness. The emperor's nephew and the queen's niece are the same age, the two have no guesses, childhood sweethearts, frolicking and playing, inseparable.

Emperor Song Renzong saw the enthusiasm of the two little adults in a group, so he always teased his nephew: "How about marrying the queen's daughter as a daughter-in-law", and the little boy always happily agreed.

The two children lived together in the palace for five or six years, until August 1039, when the birth of Injong's second son, they returned to their respective homes.

Ten years later, Gao Tao became an adult. Song Renzong remembered the happy time when the two were in the palace, so he said to Empress Cao: "We are old and childless, and the thirteen Song Yingzong adopted in the past are the thirteenth son of his father, King Pu, and Tao Tao have grown up. I am thirteen, and you are the main marriage. Let them marry each other" So, at the beginning of 1047, Gao Taotao married into the Puwang Mansion. According to the words of the time, this marriage was "the son of heaven marries his daughter-in-law, and the queen marries his daughter", which is rumored to be a good story.

After the young couple got married, their relationship was like glue, and they were better than when they were children. In April of the following year, Gao Taotao gave birth to his eldest son, Zhao Zuo, who was later Song Shenzong.

Later, Song Shenzong ascended the throne, and she became the queen mother.

Although there is the Empress Dowager Cao's above, Cao's character is weak, and he is not Gao Taotao's opponent at all, and the Cao family is also very self-aware, and will not interfere with Gao Taotao's affairs at all. In the past few years, the Cao family has become more and more secluded, and it is impossible to see each other at leisure

Speaking of it, Cao is a hard-working person. Although Queen Cao was famous back then, she was the granddaughter of the winged king Cao Bin. The entire Cao family is a prominent family with generations of hairpins and eunuchs. In the autumn and winter of 1034, Song Renzong canonized Cao as empress. Although Empress Cao's maiden background is powerful, I am afraid that she is not outstanding in appearance, at least not in Song Renzong's harem where the beauty is like clouds. She was made empress, but she did not occupy any place in Song Renzong's heart.
