Everyone who has seen the Bao Qingtian series of film and television drama netizens, must know the chapter of "Tanuki Cat for Prince", indeed this is one of the most classic cases in the Bao Qingtian series, the thing is that Song Zhenzong has no son under his knees, so the problem of succession has become the first priority of the imperial court at that time, fortunately, at this time, Song Zhenzong's two concubines are pregnant, they are Empress Liu and Concubine Li Chen.
In fact, at that time, Empress Liu was falsely pregnant, and at this time, Princess Li Chenfei was facing to have a child, and the vicious Empress Liu chose to secretly transfer it by exchanging a tanuki cat for a prince, so Li Chenfei was beaten into the cold palace, and Empress Liu ascended to heaven one step at a time.
Later, Princess Li Chenfei accidentally flowed into the people, fortunately met Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng, and was finally rehabilitated with the help of Bao Zheng, making her and her son recognized.
However, this is after all the bridge section in "Tanuki Cat for Prince", and this is pure fiction, the real Empress Liu in history is not a vicious woman, but a legendary figure in history, a famous female politician, and even a minister at that time proposed to let Empress Liu emulate Wu Zetian to ascend the throne, but was strictly rejected by Empress Liu.
To put it this way, Empress Liu is indeed an extremely legendary woman in Chinese history, it was she who created a precedent for hanging curtains to listen to the government, and Empress Liu's birth is even more humble, according to historical records, Empress Liu was a Native of Sichuan, her parents died when she was very young, and later married a folk blacksmith, and then she has been living a life of begging for life.
Perhaps because of heaven's arrangement, Empress Liu was taken in by Zhao Heng, who was still the King of Xiang at the time, so she brought her to the palace, but she did not expect to be blocked by many obstacles, in fact, because Liu E'e at that time was indeed a low status, so it was impossible to let her enter the palace.
However, Zhao Heng was reluctant to do so, so he arranged for him to command the home of Zhang Qi, and after more than ten years, Liu E had been secretly meeting with Zhao Heng, and in her free time, Liu E took it to learn cultural knowledge, so soon Liu E became a talented woman, which also laid a good foundation for her to deal with the government in the future.
After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, Liu E was also taken to the palace, but unfortunately, Liu E was too old at that time to have children, so she had no choice but to let her maid, that is, Li Chenfei (that is, Li Chenfei) help give birth to Zhao Heng, and externally claimed that liu E was born.
Then Liu E ascended to the throne of the empress with this, and then became the empress dowager, because Zhao Heng's health was very poor, many government affairs at that time were actually handled by Empress Liu, and her governing strategy was very powerful, leaving a good reputation in the court.
This is the real Empress Liu in history, I hope you don't get biased by film and television dramas, we still have to respect history!
