The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
She is the woman who holds all the power of the Song Dynasty, she is the empress of the Song Dynasty, some people compare her with the Lü Yan of the Han Dynasty, and in terms of power she is the Lü Yan of the Song Dynasty, she is Liu E. Liu E was born very low, so when she first married, her family married her to an iron striker, and she was not a proper wife, serving this iron striker in the position of a concubine, that is, Liu E's life was not peaceful, Liu E looked very beautiful, so the blacksmith's wife did not like Liu E, and targeted her everywhere, how could the blacksmith let such a beautiful Liu E be wronged? Therefore, she took Liu E to Kaifeng, and no one thought that such a woman could become an empress.
At that time, this blacksmith was very good at blacksmith, and it was good for people, so his friends were very wide, among which one of the Xiangwangfu was on duty with him as a friend, the King of Xiang did not have a proper wife at that time, and he heard others say that there were many beautiful women in Shudi, but unfortunately he had not seen it, at this time the blacksmith was happy, and directly gave Liu E out, saying that Liu E was his cousin, Liu E looked so beautiful, so the King of Xiang liked her very much, which was a good thing for Liu E, did not want to bring misfortune from heaven, Liu E's birth was low, and she had married someone, This matter was known to the emperor at that time, and immediately asked the King of Xiang to send Liu E away and find a woman for the King of Xiang.
Although King Xiang had sent Liu E away on the surface, how could he give up such a beautiful woman? Therefore, in private or secretly meet with Liu E, such a day has passed fifteen years, which is undoubtedly very wronged for Liu E, but Liu E has never complained, after fifteen years, King Xiang became the emperor, Liu E suffered so many grievances for him, Zhao Heng ascended the throne must not have wronged her, at that time, although Zhao Heng had an empress, the concubine with the highest rank under the empress was Liu E, from here we can also see Liu Heng's importance to Liu E.
Liu E because of her bad birth, so there has been no culture, but in her fifteen years of seclusion, she read a lot of books, no longer the woman who once did not understand anything, the empress at that time had several sons, but because of physical reasons, the empress's sons left one by one, Empress Zhao Heng's health is getting worse and worse, and it did not take long for Zhao Heng's empress to die. After the absence of the empress, Zhao Heng especially wanted Liu E to be the empress, but Liu E was born low, and did not give Birth to Zhao Heng,How to see Liu E is not qualified to be an empress, the courtiers in the imperial court did not agree, but let a woman of noble birth as the queen, Zhao Heng was very dissatisfied with this, he could not establish Liu E as the queen, preferring not to set up the queen.
Later, a palace girl next to Liu E had a child, Zhao Heng thought of a way to say that the child born by the palace girl was born by Liu E, and everyone at that time knew that this was zhao Heng's meaning, of course, Liu E did not take the child over and killed the mother, but was particularly good to the palace girl next to her, and also let her become Zhao Heng's concubine, Liu E was also a concubine with a son, but Liu E did not raise a child herself, because Liu E was more than forty years old at that time, and her energy was definitely not as good as those young women, after many aspects of thinking, Liu E gave the child to the young concubine.
At this time, Liu E already had a child, even if she was from a humble background, the people in the court were not easy to say anything, and Zhao Heng smoothly made Liu E an empress. Liu E read a lot of books, so she could also understand some of the affairs of the imperial court, and later when Zhao Heng was ill, the affairs in the imperial court were basically handled by Liu E, Liu E also exercised her ability to deal with things at this time, after Zhao Heng's death, the little emperor ascended the throne, the little emperor was only eleven years old, the affairs in the imperial court were naturally handled by Liu E, and the prime minister at that time felt that Liu E was just a woman, especially looked down on her, thinking that he could master the government of the dynasty, Liu E knew the ideas of these people. Many of the things that the prime minister had done over the years were in the hands of Liu E, who quickly eliminated him with her own means.
Although Liu E has always held the power of the imperial court, she has never thought of replacing it, and many courtiers feel that Liu E has held power for so long, and they are particularly uneasy about Liu E, thinking that she wants to become a female emperor, but Liu E directly reprimanded these people, saying that she would not become a sinner. Liu E was not only very good at handling the affairs of the imperial court, but also very reasonable in handling the affairs of the harem, at that time the little emperor was not her own child, although the little emperor did not know, but Liu E was very good to his birth mother, and she was also very good to the women left by the previous emperors in the harem, and gained a lot of good reputation.
Liu E listened to the government for many years, but never thought of replacing him, after the little emperor grew up, Liu E returned the power in her hands to the emperor, after Liu E's death, the emperor was very sad, at that time, even if the emperor knew that Liu E was not his birth mother, he still handled liu E's posthumous affairs according to the etiquette of his birth mother. Liu E went from a married woman to the empress and mastered the politics of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have to say that Liu E is really powerful.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
