Chapter 074 Tanuki for the Prince
Yang Jiulang secretly participated in a court politics for the first time, "Uncle Zhao, this should be all the places where the locusts pass, each state sends a minister, and each county sends a messenger, so that they can pull all the seeds of cabbage, radish, spinach, etc., and plant one-third of the field, eat it before and after the year, and plant the rest of the grain to ensure that the victims do not become displaced people and have civil strife, so as to wait for new grain to enter the cang, and if the natural disaster is not lifted, they must not return to the court, unless they meet the emperor, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing", paused for a while, and continued, " No matter how difficult it is, we must send the Yang family general, with 500,000 elite soldiers, to the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties to ensure that there will be no external troubles, the sooner the better, Uncle Zhao, we are not only robbing the lives of the people, but also Uncle Zhao's great Song Dynasty", the emperor said an irrelevant sentence instead, "Yang Er, be my son in the next life!"
Song Renzong deserves to be a good emperor, in addition to the guarantee system of the dynasty, even Bao Zheng asked him to be sent to Chenzhou nearby, and all the cases of Kaifeng Mansion were also tried in Chenzhou.
All the monarchs and people of the Great Song Dynasty struggled together for eight months, and the disaster was finally lifted, and the people of Tianbo Mansion also brought troops back to the court, and what is even more strange is that Bao Zheng also brought back another mother and Concubine Li to him.
According to folk tradition, including various operas, the content is as follows,
After the death of the first empress of Song Zhenzong. Concubine Liu and Concubine Li are both pregnant. Obviously, whoever gives birth to a son is likely to be established as the main palace. Concubine Liu was jealous for a long time, fearing that Concubine Li would give birth to a son and be made the queen, so she made a plan with Guo Huai, the head of the palace, and with the cooperation of the midwife You Shi, when Concubine Li gave birth, she took the opportunity of not knowing because of blood fainting, and stripped the fur of a raccoon cat, which was bloody and replaced with the newly born prince. Concubine Liu ordered the palace maid Kou Zhu to strangle the prince, but Kou Zhu couldn't bear it and secretly handed over the prince to the eunuch Chen Lin. Chen Lin put the prince in a suitcase and sent it to the Nanqing Palace to raise him. Besides, when Zhenzong saw the skinned tanuki, he thought that Concubine Li had given birth to a monster, so he relegated it to the cold palace.
Soon, Concubine Liu was in labor, gave birth to a son, was made the crown prince, and Concubine Liu was also canonized as the queen. Who knew that six years later, Empress Liu's son died of illness. When Empress Liu learned that Concubine Li's son was not dead, she took him in to raise him and let him make up for the lack of the crown prince. One day, the prince met his biological mother Concubine Li in the cold palace, mother and son nature, both of them had tears on their faces. When Empress Liu learned about it, she tortured Kou Zhu, who touched the steps and died. Therefore, Empress Liu slandered in front of Zhenzong, and Zhenzong decreed that Concubine Li would be killed. The little eunuch Yu Zhong was willing to be martyred for Concubine Li and released Concubine Li. Another eunuch, Qin Feng, took Concubine Li out and sent her to Chenzhou, where Qin Feng also set himself on fire and died. Concubine Li couldn't live in Chenzhou, so she could only live in a broken kiln and live by begging for food. Fortunately, Bao Zheng released grain in Chenzhou, learned the truth, and pretended to be a mother and son with Concubine Li, and brought Concubine Li back to Kaifeng. At this time, Zhenzong had long since died, and Concubine Li's son had become the emperor and was known as Song Renzong in history. Bao Zheng took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Nanqing Palace and congratulate Concubine Di on her birthday, and brought Concubine Li into the palace, so that Concubine Li was able to meet her own son Renzong and tell the truth.
Later, Bao Gong designed to let Guo Huai confess the truth. Liu, who had become the queen mother, knew that the conspiracy was exposed, and died of convulsions, and Guo Huai was killed. Because Bao Zheng made great contributions to this case, he was appointed prime minister by Renzong.
