Pearl Legend: Restore the real Shen Zhenzhu, she was not so lucky
More than twenty years ago, Taiwan The TV series "Legend of Pearl" swept across the country. At that time, Shen Zhenzhu on TV included both the elegant and handsome husband of the crown prince and Feng Li, a handsome personal bodyguard. These two infatuated men did not treat her carefully. It's never forgotten, and Shen Zhenzhu came from a famous family, with the noble status of Princess Quang Binh.
However, if you check historical data, you will find that the real Shen Zhenzhu is not as lucky as the description on TV. On TV, the clip of Li Yu's selection of her concubine: Cui Furong is full of confidence, Concubine Yang and the Korean wife are in their hands, but Li Yu does not hesitate to reach out to Shen Zhenzhu. Thus, Shen Zhenzhu became the Princess of Quang Binh, and Cui Furong only reluctantly accepted as a side concubine when Li Yu learned of Shen Zhenzhu's death.
But in fact, Shen Zhenzhu is just a concubine of Li Yu, not even the concubine, the real Guangping Princess is Cui Furong. Shen Zhenzhu was originally the palace maid of Li Heng (Li Yu's father), the prince of the East Palace, who was later given to Li Yu as a concubine by Li Heng, and gave birth to the later Tang Dezong Li Kuo. When Li Kuo was five years old, Li Yu was ordered to Natui Furong For the Queen of Quang Binh. At this time, although Shen Zhenzhu, who has given birth to a boy for her husband, is still just a concubine. Think about it, if she is very pampered, even if she can't be named a concubine, at least she can set up a concubine, or a good wife, a ruling child, or something, Li Yu can't even have this right.
Also, since marrying Li Yu to the "Anshi Rebellion", Shen Zhenzhu only gave birth to this child for more than ten years. Although Cui Furong married Li Yu for a short time, she She gave birth to at least three. Among them is Princess Shengping in "Drunk Fighting Golden Branches". According to historical records, Princess Shengping also had two brothers with the same mother. As for whether there is a sister, there is no record in history, so it is not good to speculate. , But based on this inference, Shen Zhenzhu seems to be less favored than Cui Furong.
Think about it. Although Cui Furong is not necessarily the country's beauty and beauty, but after all, she is the niece of Concubine Yang, at least she can inherit one or two. This is also a good explanation for why Shen Zhenzhu would be left in Chang'an during the Anshi Rebellion, while Cui Furong escaped with Li Yu because she was just a concubine with a relatively low status and was not within the scope of the royal family. Although Li Yu has been "gracious to Cui Furong" since Ma Weipo's change, he still took her by his side. In contrast, Shen Zhenzhu did not seem to be so lucky.
In the second year of Zhide (757 AD), Li Yu recovered Luoyang. In Yeting, he met Shen Zhenzhu, but he did not bring him with him, nor did he send him to Chang'an. .
In the second year of Qianyuan (759 AD), Shi Siming rebels captured Luoyang, and Shen Zhenzhu disappeared. Since then, there has been no news. Think about it, if Li Yu has deep feelings for Shen Zhenzhu, how could he not make proper arrangements for him? As the Marshal of the World Army, it is impossible for him not to know the danger of leaving Shen Zhenzhu in Luoyang. If he rescued the prince Li Kuo in Luoyang, could he still leave him in Luoyang?
As for Li Yu's ascension, it is true that he has not set up a queen, but is it to sink the pearl? I don't know. At the beginning, he would not even give Shen Zhenzhu the status of ruin, Liangdi, and side concubine. After ascending to the throne, he would be able to make her a queen? It's really unreasonable.
If Cui Furong got married, Li Yu might be subject to Cui Furong. Then, before Cui Furong married, he gave birth to a son for Li Yu for a long time. In the feudal era, Shen Zhenzhu's status didn't even improve. It can be seen that Shen Zhenzhu didn't please Li Yu very much. Therefore, it is really open to question whether this rear position is for Shen Zhenzhu. The possibility of Cui Furong hanging in the air is greater than the possibility of Shen Zhenzhu hanging in the air. Because we know that Cui Furong is the real Queen of Quang Binh. If there is no Anshi Rebellion, there is no MaweiAfter Poe's change, she was the queen of righteous words. In ancient times, although both wives and concubines were wives, their status was very different. Concubines can give away at will, and wives are protected by law.
Also, when Li Yu was in power, he did not show any care to Shen Zhenzhu’s natal family. The Shen family’s awards all began with Shen Zhenzhu’s son Li Kuo, and Shen Zhenzhu Ruizhen was the queen. The seat was also named after their great-grandson Tang Xianzong, not out of Li Yu's original intention.
If Li Yu really wants to make Shen Zhenzhu the queen, he doesn’t need to hang her as a queen, just stand. As the prince’s biological mother, no matter if she is born or died, she will be a queen. People dare to raise objections. As for his search under the edict, maybe it was only for his son Li Kuo and the people of the world. At the time of the "Anshi Rebellion", Li Kuo was already twelve years old. He should remember his father's abandonment of his mother, and he might even feel dissatisfied. In order to draw the relationship between father and son, Li Yu told Li Kuo that things happened back then. Helpless, I am sorry for your mother, and now I am waiting for her to come back.
A twelve-year-old child naturally does not understand the emotional world of adults. What he sees is only the affection of his father for his mother.
A concubine who was abandoned by her husband twice and fell into the hands of the rebels twice. Her pain can be imagined. We can even make a bold guess to sink the pearl before Li Yu's death. He didn't die, but was so broken by Li Yu that he didn't want to come back.
