2021/04/1212:32:50 history 2814

In the recent period, the period background of the costume drama seems to have been arranged, and all have chosen the elegant Song Dynasty. Under the meticulous production and interpretation, a large number of characters have become popular, but you have to choose one of the most legendary, but Liu E, who is played by Liu Tao in "The Great Song Palace".


From "Qing Ping Le" to "The Song Palace Ci", Liu E, who was born in Shu, was the only woman in history who had the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wu Zetian. The vicious image here calls people to find the record of her real life in the ruler.

"Between the sage of the day and the Ming Dao, the emperor is rich in the spring and autumn, and the mother is called the queen, but the inside and outside are solemn, the discipline is in order, and there is no major lack of political affairs."


The youngest son Chui Lian listened to the political evaluation for 11 years.


Perhaps you may think that using this language to evaluate an ancient woman seems a bit inflated.But if you understand her story, you will find that Liu E definitely deserves this compliment.


and click on the trivial matter, just pick up a few important ones.


Everyone knows that the earliest banknote in the world, Jiaozi, came from the Song Dynasty, but the person who approved the official issuance was the Empress Liu.


And this Song Dynasty, which had always placed emphasis on civil and military affairs, was able to create martial arts and martial arts examinations, and improved the imperial examination to have both cultural relics, and it was also due to her political acumen.


Only these two items have a great impact on future generations, and they will be enough to make her live forever, and even put on a yellow robe to become a queen.


But she did more than that. The Empress Dowager Liu, the first major event after he took office, was to quickly deal with the "Book of Heaven" incident, and ordered the prohibition of the construction of palaces and temples, and curbed the superstition fanaticism that permeated the ruling and opposition parties.


After that, he set up a remonstrance house to understand the situation; clarify the management of officials and severely punish corrupt officials; pay attention to water conservancy and remediate the Yellow River; set up a state school, and implement the guidelines. In the days of Tiansheng and Mingdao, he not only restored the development momentum of Jinzong Hampyeong and Jingde, but also laid the foundation for Renzong Qingli events. Many of these measures have also become model templates for the rule of the dynasties and have been imitated by later generations.


has done all these things, but in fact, it is not without the opportunity to become the only female emperor in Chinese history.


was also flattered to present the "Wuhou Lin Dynasty Picture",Others persuaded him to build the "Liu's Seven Temples" following the example of Wu Zetian, , but Liu E didn't fight for herself at all, even if she knew that if she became emperor at the time, no one could stop her.


Of course, she who has been strong in court, occasionally, like an ordinary weak woman, wants to be willful once.


In the second year of Ming Dao, when she was seriously ill and was about to die, she proposed "to wear the emperor's clothes to meet the ancestor". Therefore, at the ceremony, under pressure, wearing a modified empress dowager costume to worship the ancestors of the Zhao family.


This kind of willfulness seems to be a kind of inquiry. Asking those ancestors whether they agree with their many years of hard work seems to be a catharsis, catharsis, to vent the pressure of being alone and strong in hosting the overall situation. And such a silent and shocking shout finally became the only move that crossed the boundary in her brilliant life.


After this, she finally ushered in her death. As interpreted in the play, she changed back to the queen's dress before she died, and went to see her first emperor respectfully, alone.


ling ding lonely and lonely, she will sell herself to the palace

, maybe she will be out of the dust. ?


is unfortunate,The facts are just the opposite. Before entering the palace, her life was not beautiful, it can even be said to be difficult and difficult, and it has gone through many twists and turns: she used to sell on the streets in her early years, and was forced by her life to be sold by her husband.


is this woman who wore Jiao'e makeup, handed the emperor's note, and guarded the Zhao family's Jiangshan Sheji, who went all over the world and was well-organized that day. She was too lowly to be underestimated.


To talk about her suffering in the first half of her life, we have to count from her infancy.


Shortly after Sichuan was included in the Song Dynasty, the situation was still turbulent, and the people were struggling.


Although Liu E was just born at this moment, but helpless to make a fortune, he lost his parents early and was raised by his grandmother. He grew up in his teens miserably, and got a "good boy". Name. Afterwards, life was difficult, and she never complained about others, but decided to go out to be a singer-songwriter, make a living as a performer, and support herself.

A turning point in life comes accidentally. She finally didn't have to do street art anymore, but put on her wedding dress, married a silversmith named Gong Mei in Shu, and then ran with him for a living.


The couple went all the way to buy and sell. Although they were like duckweed, they depended on each other until they came to the capital of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, and they were finally defeated by life.


It’s not easy to make a living, even if Liu E is willing to endure hardships, and relying on himself to "savour the game" (shaking the rattle) every day to solicit business,But it is still poor.


In desperation, Gong Mei proposed the idea of ​​selling Liu E to the rich as his wife. In this way, both of them have the hope of survival.


Liu E knew that this was a helpless move, and after weighing it, he had to agree to this idea for the future.


Fortunately, God finally took care of her once. This time, Liu E was lucky.


Zhang Qi, who worked under Zhao Yuanxiu (later Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng), the son of Song Taizong at the time, bought her after learning about it and dedicated it to the palace.


Although Liu E is plainly dressed, she is really beautiful, and her manners are somewhat incomparable to other women. At the same time, because of her background, she walked in society at a very young age. Then he learned how to watch words and look. With these, Liu E, who entered the palace, was deeply loved by Zhao Yuanxiu.


Although she was born poor and could not get any status yet, she finally no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and her life was finally settled down.


recommend old people, do not complain


people in this worldIt is always easy to share adversities and to share blessings.


However, Liu E has not forgotten her ex-husband Gong Mei, who had been in trouble with her, and she has not even given birth to a trace of hatred. On the contrary, she feels that she is an upright person, not a noble person, and is motivated. No way.


So, after several operations, Gong Mei came to the palace and became Zhao Yuanxiu's doorstep.


The four words that the tree attracts the wind are indeed the truth and famous words left by the ancients. Liu E was hated by Zhao Yuanxiu's nurse for being favored and falsely accused. An imperial decree, Liu E, was driven out of the palace.


Liu E has been living in Zhang Qi's house since he left the palace. Although Zhao Yuanxiu, who is obsessed with Liu E, has been forced to marry other women, he still often goes to Zhang Qi's home to have private meetings with her. Gong Mei became a general of the palace, and often followed Zhao Yuanxiu.


Such days have lasted for several years. If it is a kind of sadness to say that a woman has no status, then it is a kind of shame to not even enter the palace. Even so, she did not cry, but waited silently...

It was not until Zhao Yuanxiu succeeded Liu E who was swept out by the imperial decree that she was another one. The imperial decree was received in the palace.


Unfortunately,The humble background once again became an obstacle to her gaining status. But this still does not affect her being favored by Zhao Heng (name changed after Zhao Yuanxiu succeeds to the throne), nor is it enough to make her depressed, crying and robbing the ground, but it makes her feel a lot and think about her obscurity in the harem. Weigh and calculate.


She is like a dormant cicada, waiting for her own summer, waiting for the blockbuster moment.


Seven years is short, but it is very long. Finally, the fourth-grade beauty became the first step in her promotion.

The adopted child hangs the curtain and has a clear conscience.


repair the instrument, the German concubine. Liu E was promoted again and again. Her years of hard work finally paid off. This time, she can finally raise her head, walk in the sun, and walk in front of everyone in the harem, accepting all the courtesy of being late with an upright identity.


I am grateful that Liu E is an orphan, Zhao Heng, who has no family, let Liu E recognize Gong Mei, who is already a heavy court minister, as his brother, and renamed Gong Mei to Liu Mei and Feng Gemen Only (equivalent to the attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), respectfully gave Liu E a powerful "maiden family" support.


and a few years later,Liu E welcomed a child who was not born in his womb.


The biological mother of this child is a maid surnamed Li. Although his biological mother was in a low position, Zhao Heng's first five sons all died consecutively, so he became Zhao Heng's only son at that time and the only heir to the Song Dynasty. This child was later Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.


Zhao Zhen was raised by Liu E since he was a child, and lived a life of being loved and loved, and he was taken care of by everyone. He did not know that his biological mother was actually someone else.


And Liu E is also expensive for her mother and her son. After the death of the queen, she got the seal of the phoenix and became the successor. Strong32strong has transformed from a singing girl into the most noble woman in the world.


During this period, Liu Mei also relied on her integrity and ability to win the emperor's trust and held a high position.


A few years later, the emperor died and the youngest son took the place, and the queen mother must be supported to stabilize the court. I am grateful for Liu Ebole's grace and Liu Mei, who has been admonishing and weighing for many years, naturally assisted me with my heart. The civil and military officials above the court are well aware of Liu E's talents and virtues, and willingly follow Wudi.


Since then, Liu E has started his political career of listening to politics until the last moment of his life.


As for her mother-child career with her son Zhao Zhen,In fact, it is not as unbearable as described in the drama.


After her death, Zhao Zhen also learned the truth. He found the coffin of her biological mother who had died of fate, opened the coffin and fixed her eyes, but found that her biological mother was wearing the queen dowager’s crown and her face was lifelike under the protection of mercury . The phrase "Auntie (Queen Mother Liu) is clear in her life" is enough to prove her innocence to the world.


This is the end of her life, and she went to see her husband with a clear conscience.


In fact, after so many years, she has already become a legend and a story. The most curious thing about people is probably why she didn't claim the title of emperor.


may be difficult to dismiss, maybe it is a lesson from the past, or maybe she is thinking about Zhao Heng. Perhaps, for her, most of the time in this life is bitter, and the rare touch of sweetness is also given by Zhao Heng.


After all, we are not her, and we may never know. The hardships she has really experienced can only be put to the end of speculation, lamenting the hardships of this Shu woman, and she has overcome difficulties along the way.


Her life is transparent and calm. She can lift her head and bend her waist. She knows how to use others, repays grievances with virtue, and is always worthy of the world and walks magnanimously. Facing her life full of thorns, there was no complaint, and a splendid flower bloomed in it.


although the flowering period is limited,Liu E's legend has not stopped. I hope we can be neither humble nor humble, even if we are in the thorn bushes, we must raise our heads and be the proudest flower.


Persevere in faith, have its own life creed and bottom line. Don't be coerced by desire, don't be blinded by all power. I think this is Liu E, the most precious thing.
