No zuo No die, this is a very popular saying some time ago. Even now, many people still use it, and many people die. In ancient palaces, the probability of committing death is even higher. There is such a queen who played a good hand, but she ended up committing suicide and did it twice.
good cards are in hand, Queen, I have
Song Renzong can be said to be the most kind emperor of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is to ministers or the common people, Song Renzong has his own attitude and preferences when dealing with his own harem. Perhaps because of his adoptive mother Liu E , Song Renzong could not consider the harem as comprehensively as his ministers.

Song Renzong's first empress was Empress Guo , whose name was Guo Qingwu, and he was a descendant of Guo Chong, the governor of Pinglu Jielu. His father Guo Yungong was also an important official. In the third year of Tiansheng, he was awarded the title of the Grand Tutor An Dejun Jiedu and the General of Zhongwu Army and the Chief Secretary for the Sixth year. Guo Qingwu and Zhang, the great-granddaughter of the late Xiaoqigu General Zhang Mei, entered the palace to perform a speech. Song Renzong immediately took a fancy to the more beautiful Zhang and wanted to make him the queen. However, the empress dowager Liu E at that time liked Guo Qingwu even more, so under the instruction of Liu E, Guo Qingwu became the queen.
After the important officials, Liu E loved it. It can be said that Guo Qingwu played a good hand.
The queen was deposed as a queen
Although Guo Qingwu had enlightenment in his name, he was not enlightened about the way in the palace. Relying on Liu E's love, Guo Qingwu was not low-key at all. Instead, he wanted to tie Song Renzong and not let him favor others. It was impossible to think about it. There were very few emperors with only one wife.
Not only did Guo Qingwu think so, but also did this. Shang Chongyi and Yang Defei in the palace were beautiful and beautiful, and were deeply loved by Song Renzong. Therefore, Song Renzong favored many of them. Not only did Empress Guo not work hard to improve her cultivation to gain the emperor's favor, but instead cursed Shang Chongyi and Yang Defei. This is definitely not what a mother-in-law should do.

One day, Song Renzong was favoring Shang Chongyi, and Shang Chongyi complained to Song Renzong about Empress Guo. When Empress Guo arrived, she caught him. So the two started arguing. Adhering to the principle that if you can do it, the two fought. In desperation, Empress Guo hit Shang Chongyi with a fan. Song Renzong hurriedly came to rescue him. Empress Guo could not stop and hit Song Renzong on the neck. Song Renzong was immediately furious and wanted to depose Empress Guo.
If Empress Guo could be content with oneself, she might be able to keep the position of Empress, but you know that the person who did it would not do only one thing. In fact, Empress Guo offended the minister Lu Yijian for trivial matters.
So after Lu Yijian's lobbying, although it was a big deal to abolish the queen, under Lu Yijian's own hands, Emperor Renzong of Song deposed Empress Guo, and asked Empress Guo to enter the Taoist temple to practice because Empress Guo had no son, and was named Jingfei.
In August of the first year of Jingyou (1034), Renzong was furious and issued another edict, listing the faults of Concubine Guo Jing, Shang Meiren and Yang Meiren, expelling Concubine Guo Jing out of Yaohua Palace, Shang Meiren went out of Dongzhen Palace, and Yang Meiren settled in another house.
2 lost the opportunity to enter the palace
Guo Qingwu and Zhang, who entered the palace together, wanted to compare, but they were just a little inferior. Guo Qingwu was also very beautiful, and Song Renzong was a member of the appearance association. A few years later, Song Renzong missed Guo quite a lot and sent envoys to ask questions and gave him a Yuefu. Guo He answered it, and he said very sadly. This is already very obvious, which means that you want Guo Qingwu to return to the palace, as long as Guo Qingwu can be at peace.

So Song Renzong secretly ordered her to be summoned back to the palace. Unexpectedly, Guo started to do it again and asked: "If summoned again, all officials must establish the first volume." At that time, Song Renzong had already married Cao as the queen (reply to Cao's to see how Empress Cao was a queen for 28 years). It was a trivial matter to dethrone the empress, and Cao was very consistent with the queen's standards at that time, so Song Renzong was cured and gave up. In this way, Guo Qingwu lost the opportunity to gain favor again. As long as he returned to the palace, everything was possible.
The most difficult thing for a person is to see clearly his position and do what he should do in this position. Don’t do it. The higher the position, the more you should install it. The better the installation, the more stable the position is.
