Chapter 106: Three Wastes and Three Recoveries

"Zhang Dian and Liu Jieyu therefore asked Song to ask Zhezong to abolish the queen, Zhezong remembered the relationship, and thought that Empress Meng had always been docile and virtuous on weekdays, and couldn't bear to abolish her."

At this time, someone turned out the matter of "heaven and earth and sun" at that time, saying that if the queen was not abolished, the emperor would be in trouble, and Song Zhezong agreed to abolish the queen. ”

"Song Zhezong ordered Empress Meng to become a female Taoist priest and placed her in the Yaohua Palace where the abolished concubines and concubines lived, and she was called the head of Huayang."

Qianlong: He Song Zhezong doesn't want to? It is impossible for a dignified queen to become a monk directly because of this matter!

Queen Ma: At that time, Empress Meng was abolished by Song Zhezong on the grounds of "confusing heresies and coercing the Tao", and she lived in Yaohua Palace and became a female Taoist.

Zhu Yuanzhang: This matter is indeed far from being as simple as Miss Zhang thought, although it is said that the abolition is just an edict, and the reason for using it in a quarter of an hour is also because Empress Meng is involved in the side door and private affairs, but in fact, Song Zhezong has long had the intention of abolishing Meng.

Xiaozhuang: There are also reasons for what Miss Zhang said, after the princess born to Queen Meng fell ill, the Meng family repeatedly involved forbidden laws such as Fu Shui and Taoism, and it was the reason for the abolition that was sent to Song Zhezong's hands, plus Song Zhezong's favored Liu Jieyu added oil and vinegar on the side, and Song Zhezong didn't like the queen originally, and it became a sure thing after the abolition.

Princess Guantao: The palace understands that this Queen Meng was originally disliked by the royal family, which means that the virtuous and virtuous let her keep the position of the lord of the harem, and let the emperor read the love of husband and wife, and did not move her much, but she couldn't stand the villain's trouble, but this Liu Jieyu made this good plan and finally became the queen?

He Shen: This Song Zhezong is still a good emperor in the Great Song Dynasty, his brain is still a little, and he felt that something was wrong afterwards, and after reviewing the matter, he also realized that he was too hasty, but his generation of emperors can't go back on his word, everyone is abolished, what can I do? Perhaps for this reason, after Empress Meng was deposed, although Zhang Dian and others repeatedly proposed to make Liu Jieyu the queen, Zhezong did not agree, but Jin named her a virtuous concubine, and the matter after the abolition came to an end.

Princess Changle: Then what about later, when did you become a queen?

"I'll answer the rest of the questions, after the position of Empress Song Zhezong was vacant for about 3 years, Concubine Liu finally looked forward to the end, she gave birth to a son for Zhezong, until this time, Zhezong agreed to make her the queen, but the good times did not last long, the prince died only two months after he was born, and even soon after, Song Zhezong also died and was directly named the queen mother."

Princess Guantao: This is really a bamboo basket to draw water!

Princess Changle: So unlucky!

When Song Zhezong died, he did not leave any heirs, and as soon as he died, the matter of appointing a new emperor was also put on the agenda. Under the intervention of the Empress Dowager Xiang, the eleventh son of Shenzong, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, became the emperor, that is, Song Huizong, the captured emperor mentioned earlier. ”

After Song Huizong ascended the throne, he was grateful to the Empress Dowager, not only invited her to listen to the government, but also welcomed the Empress Dowager back to the palace after the abolition of Zhezong, and reinstated as Empress Yuanyou, ranking above Empress Liu. Although Empress Liu was angry, there was no way, at this time she had no backer, she could only let the queen mother call the shots, so Empress Meng was accepted into the palace by Song Huizong, who inherited the throne at that time, and restored her position. ”

Because she was crowned in the Yuan You period, she called it "Queen Yuan You", the reason why Queen Meng was able to restore the throne is because after the death of Song Zhezong, the old party re-raised its head with the support of the Empress Dowager Xiang, and the power grew, Queen Meng, the woman who was favored by the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Xiang, naturally returned to the palace, but unfortunately, this time Empress Meng was abolished after only a year. ”

Princess Changle: Why was it abolished again?

Xiaozhuang: Because Empress Meng's backer is gone, that Concubine Liu can't sit still.

"There's nothing wrong with it, before Empress Meng was welcomed back to the palace and enjoyed a few days of blessings, Empress Dowager Xiang passed away, and Empress Dowager Liu colluded with Cai Jing and others, who were trusted by Song Huizong, and abolished Empress Meng, and gave her the title "Xi Weiyuan Notice and Miaojing Immortal Master", and let her move to Yaohua Palace again, and Empress Meng was abolished again for the second time! ”

Later, not long after Empress Meng returned to Yaohua Palace, Yaohua Palace caught fire, and she had to move to Yanning Palace, not wanting Yanning Palace to catch fire again, so she had to move to her younger brother Meng Zhonghou's house. However, she was a blessing in disguise and escaped. ”

"The shame of Jingkang, I said before, in the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people captured Bianjing, Emperor Daozong and Emperor Yuansheng were taken captive, almost all the royal family members were wiped out at that time, and with the two emperors moved north, only two escaped, one was the then Kang King Zhao Gou, who survived because he was far away in Jeju, and the other was Queen Meng, who was left behind because she was deposed, and lived in Xiangguo Temple for 20 years."

"After the Jin people contributed to Bianjing, they left a puppet dynasty here, and they supported Zhang Bangchang to establish the Great Chu and rule on his behalf."

"Although Zhang Bangchang ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, his name was not right, and at that time, the Zhao Dynasty also had a fish that slipped through the net, King Kang, Zhao Gouyuan, in Jeju."

Therefore, in order to enhance the rationality of his rule, Zhang Bangchang, who knew that he was alone and weak, accepted Lu Haowen's suggestion and welcomed Empress Meng into Yanfu Palace, and her lord was called "Empress Dowager Song" and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials. ”

"Later, the ministers Hu Shunzhi and Ma Shen wrote again, and the political affairs should be decided by the order of the Queen Mother, Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to restore the honorific title of Empress Meng - Empress Yuanyou, and asked her to listen to the government and accept the worship of hundreds of officials."

Although the Meng clan was in the puppet regime, she did not give in, she secretly inquired about Zhao Gou's location, and sent someone to secretly go there, so that Zhao Gou could be proclaimed emperor in the south as soon as possible, so as to appease the people. Zhao Gou, who was in the south at the time, received the news, and immediately held an enthronement ceremony with the support of a group of former ministers, and immediately created a dynasty known as the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"During this period, for some reason, the Meng family still listened to the government, but after Zhao Gou inherited the throne, the Meng family withdrew the curtain and no longer listened to the government, and was respected as the Empress Dowager Yuanyou."

"When the country was in trouble, she stepped up. A woman who is so responsible in her weak body, and who holds great power and causes the state to be corrupted, should be ashamed. ”

"At the time of the country's survival, Empress Meng showed great courage and resourcefulness, although she was only a weak little woman, but she continued the history of the Song Dynasty with her own identity and strength. In her life, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, blessings are disasters, and disasters are blessings. In response to the words of the Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao: "Si people are virtuous and virtuous, cherish the blessings and thin ears!" If there is an incident in the country on a different day, this person must deserve it. ””
