introduction:
It is said that the times create heroes, and in the long river of China's history, many talented but badly born figures have turned against the wind in the chaotic world. For example, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, although he was a eunuch, he blackmailed the son of heaven to order the princes, and in the chaotic world, he had the capital to stand on three feet with Sun Quan Liu Bei, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born a beggar, could seize the opportunity under the trend of the times and finally ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Dignity and be admired by all the people.
Among these people, Song Fujin is also one of the most radiant figures, in the era of male superiority and female inferiority, she does not follow the fate, with her own wisdom and wisdom, from a dowry maid, counterattack to a generation of empresses, setting an example for the world, can not be described as unsuccessful.
The family road falls, and the chaotic world meets the nobles
Speaking of Song Fujin, many people don't know, but her grandson Li Yu is familiar to everyone.
Song Fujin was born at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the era of chaotic division, her ancestral home is Jiangxia, she was born in the Shuxiang family, but helplessly encountered a chaotic world, the family gradually fell, the family was scattered under the flames of chaotic war, and the young Song Fujin was abducted by bandits on the road.
At this time, the first nobleman in Song Fujin's life appeared, and this nobleman was Wang Rong. Wang Rong was the assassin of Sheng prefecture in the late Tang Dynasty, Wang Rong saw that Song Fujin was pitiful, saved her, and brought her back to his mansion to become his daughter's maid, and the two grew up together.
In ancient times, the status of the beard was very low, there was no personal freedom, lifelong slavery, life and death were determined by the master, and the social status was lower than that of the commoners. Even if some masters are kinder and will help to point out relatives, civilian families will not marry a mane, after all, civilians and mane are not of the same rank, so finger relatives can only be found in the circle of slaves, and they cannot get rid of slavery for life.
But Song Fujin is so blessed, although the same is a lady, but Miss Wang has a good temper, the two have similar temperaments, grow up together, and love the same sisters.
At the age of 15, Miss Wang came out very beautifully, the lady was a gentleman, and the good people in the radius of dozens of miles entrusted the matchmakers to come to the door to say that the threshold of the Wang family was broken. And Xu Zhihuan, who had just seized power, was also famous for coming to his door to ask for relatives.
Xu Zhihuan was Xu Wen's adopted son, Xu Wen was the minister of the new regime Yang Long, he held a high position of power, and he was extremely satisfied with his righteous son, so when Xu Zhihuan asked to marry Wang Rong's daughter, Xu Wen agreed without hesitation.
And here the Wang family was afraid of Xu Wen, did not dare not agree, and could only bear the pain of marrying their daughter into the Xu family. Song Fujin married into the Xu family with Miss Wang as a dowry maid.
Consolidate grace and turn over to become the master mother
A few years before Miss Wang married Xu Zhihuan, the two husbands sang with the woman, and their love was incomparable. Only a few years, Miss Wang has not been pregnant with a child, Xu Zhihuan for her to ask countless doctors to maintain her body, but has not moved. Miss Wang herself felt sorry for Xu Zhihuan, and was even more worried about losing Xu Zhihuan's favor.
Therefore, she sent Song Fujin to Xu Zhihuan.
Song Fujin was Miss Wang's dowry, known in ancient times as a concubine.
Concubine refers to a sister of the same clan who accompanies her to her husband's family, called a concubine. Beginning in the Zhou Dynasty period, in the Warring States period, for the contact between the families of various countries, the style of concubines prevailed.
There are also many kinds of concubines, such as the sisters of the Tongzong clan who marry into the husband's family, although they are concubines, but their status is only lower than that of the main wife, higher than the general concubines, and they can also attend some formal occasions. However, later, some families were reluctant to marry more, so they would let some personal slaves also marry as concubines, and the status of this concubine was no different from that of ordinary concubines, and Song Fujin was the latter.
However, this is already very good for Song Fujin, she is blessed by the Wang family, in order to help her young lady consolidate her grace, it is also fortunate to become half a master. Song Fujin himself was also very angry, and it didn't take long to get pregnant, Xu Zhihuan was very happy, and after October, he gave birth to a son, Xu Zhijin was overjoyed, and named the child Xu Jing.
And Miss Wang's health deteriorated, and within a few years, she died of depression, and Xu Zhihuan was very hurt after knowing it, and had no intention of remarrying, only to help Song Fujin become the master mother of the Xu family.
Song Fujin herself is very talented, when she married Miss Wang into the Xu family, she helped Miss Wang take care of the family's affairs, and the slaves in the family were also very skilled, and they admired her from top to bottom. Therefore, after Miss Wang died and Song Fujin became the head mother of the Xu family, she handled things even more easily.
In addition, the Xu family was stable and smooth under the governance of Song Fujin, which made Xu Zhihuan look at her differently, and the relationship between the two slowly improved.
Be a confidant of each other and become a virtuous helper
It is also a coincidence that the encounters of Xu Zhihuan and Song Fujin are very similar. Xu Zhichen's original name was Li Fu, his biological father Li Rong was lost in the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Fu could only live with his mother, the wandering mother and son were already hard, and his mother died of an illness when he was six years old, and Li Fu became an orphan.
The heavens were merciful, and when Li Fu was at his worst, Jiedu made Yang Xingmi reach out to him, take him back, and adopt him as an adopted son, but he did not expect that Yang Xingmi's sons were very opinionated.
Because at that time, although Yang Xingmi was still a jiedushi envoy at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had already existed in name only, and although Yang Xingmi did not call himself emperor, he was only a form of calling himself emperor. Therefore, Yang Xingmi's sons have also been fighting among themselves, striving to get their father's favor, and now that several of their brothers are fighting fiercely, at this time, another Li Fu will emerge, and it is difficult to say whether his father will value Li Fu more in the future.
In order to avoid raising tigers, Yang Xingmi's sons were firmly opposed. Although Yang Xingmi liked Li Fu very much, he could not stand up to such strong opposition from his sons, and in desperation, he could only hand over Li Fu to his minister Xu Wen.
Completely different from the Yang family, the Xu family is very fond of Li Fu. He adopted Li Fu as his adopted son, changed his name to Xu Zhihuan, and became the son of the Xu family.
Under the careful care of Xu Wen and his wife, Xu Zhihuan did not live up to their expectations, poetry, martial arts and riding archery were very good, Xu Wen was also very satisfied with him, and gradually delegated power to him.
Perhaps the same childhood in the war chaos displaced, although there are nobles, but the bitterness under the fence only those who have experienced it understand, Song Fujin and Xu Zhihuan hugged the group to warm up, comforting each other.
With Song Fujin, the sage helper, Xu Zhihuan was more smooth in doing things. Of course, Song Fujin is not a woman who will only circle around the inner house, although she is a woman, but she has a deep understanding, and occasionally when talking about some current politics with Xu Zhihuan, her opinion is very unique, which makes Xu Zhihuan very pleased.
When Xu Zhihuan first assassinated shengzhou, shengzhou experienced many wars, the people were not happy, the people were hard, and Song Fujin suggested that he follow the example of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, reduce taxes, and treat the people with benevolence and righteousness.
Xu Zhihuan took Song Fujin's advice, and under his rule, although Shengzhou was not as prosperous as it was in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty within a few years, it also ensured that the people on the side had no worries about food and clothing, and the people were grateful to Xu Zhihuan, and the praise was endless.
Xu Zhihuan also often personally observed the people's feelings and understood the people's livelihood and suffering, and everywhere he went, the people praised him.
It can be said that Xu Zhihuan can get the support and trust of the people in Shengzhou, and Song Fujin is indispensable.
Husband and wife work together to establish a new regime
When Xu Zhiyan was busy in Shengzhou, Yang Xingmi died suddenly, Xu Wen supported Yang Xingmi's son Yang Longyan to ascend the throne as emperor, but Yang Longyan refused, after all, although the Tang Dynasty existed in name only, but as long as the Tang Dynasty was still there, he would be poked in the spine by the people of the world, not to mention, when his father Yang Xingmi was there, he did not call himself emperor, and his father was called emperor as soon as he died, which was unreasonable.
However, although Yang Longyan refused to be called emperor, he was honored as the King of Southern Wu, and Xu Wen's status as a minister of humerus gradually rose. And Xu Zhihuan has always been benevolent and filial, governing the people, quite prestigious, Xu Wen began to worry.
Because Xu Wen has two parents, although he is not as good as Xu Zhihuan, but in the end it is his own flesh and bones, although Xu Zhihuan is not biological, but has always been raised under the knee, the love is not less than his two sons, and he is outstanding, quite Xu Wen's style, the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are meat, which makes Xu Wen more difficult to choose.
Xu Zhihuan also gradually understood Xu Wen's heart, although he was an adopted son, but ambitious, Song Fujin saw his thoughts, and silently encouraged him to fight behind his back, regardless of others.
Xu Zhihuan knew that he had no advantage and could only work harder, and later Xu Wen knew that his son Xu Zhiyuan intended to compete with Xu Zhihuan for power, so after Xu Wen's death, Xu Zhiyuan inherited his title.
However, at this time, Xu Zhihuan already held great power, and in the years under Xu Wen, he accumulated contacts, accumulated strength, and was also very assertive in the affairs of the government, and gradually, his reputation in Southern Wu had almost surpassed Yang Longyan.
A few years later, Yang Longyan died, and Xu Zhiyan learned the means of Xu Wen's year and supported Yang Pu to ascend the throne as emperor. Yang Pu knew that he was a pawn in Xu Zhihuan's hand, although his strength was insufficient, but he was ambitious, Yang Pu wanted to get rid of Xu Zhihuan many times, but fortunately, Xu Zhihuan reacted quickly and hid from him.
Xu Zhihuan was not satisfactory in the court, and often talked with Song Fujin, who also persuaded him a lot, which made Xu Zhijin feel relieved. Later, the people around Xu Zhijin could not see that Yang Pu treated Xu Zhihuan in this way, so they encouraged him to claim the title of emperor, Xu Zhihuan could not make up his mind, and went back to consult with Song Fujin, and Song Fujin dispelled his doubts with a few words, so Xu Zhihuan contacted the courtiers and forced Yang Pu to abdicate.
Xu Zhihuan ascended the throne as empress dowager, changed the name of the country to Qi, and a few years later, changed the name of the country to Tang, and the history was called Southern Tang. After Xu Zhihuan ascended the throne, Miss Fengwang was made Concubine Shun, and Song Fujin was made empress, and the two worked together for decades, after Xu Zhihuan ascended the throne, the two still loved each other as before, and also became a folk story.
He is good at persuasion and does not interfere in the affairs of the DPRK
Xu Zhihuan, who had just ascended the throne, was still a relatively clear emperor, and occasionally when he had a bad temper, it was also Song Fujin who calmed down.
It is said that several ministers confronted Xu Zhihuan in person, and Xu Zhihuan, in anger, wanted to execute several people, but they were all persuaded by Song Fujin, and the wrath of the Son of Heaven was only able to be stopped by Song Fujin.
However, as the days passed, Xu Zhihuan's temper became more and more grumpy, and he even punished Yang Xingmi's descendants who were kind to him. In addition, Xu Zhihuan had always been suspicious of Xu Zhiyuan, who had grown up with him, thinking that he had heavy troops in his hands, and was worried that he would one day be driven off the throne, so he summoned Xu Zhiyuan alone, Song Fujin learned the news in advance, let people inform Xu Zhiyuan to flee overnight, and while persuading the emperor, brotherhood was heavy, not to mention that the Xu family was kind to him, at this time, he was afraid that the people of the world would criticize and have a bad reputation for the emperor.
Xu Zhiyan only gave up after hearing this, only to dismiss Xu Zhiqian from his official position and let him be an idle person, which saved him from the disaster.
In his later years, Xu Zhihuan had been indulging in Dan medicine, praying for immortality, and his body was not as good as a day, and on his deathbed, he left a will for Song Fujin's son Li Jing to succeed to the throne.
However, at this time, Li Jing was still young, and the foreign ministers were also eyeing the tiger, so several ministers played and asked the empress dowager to listen to the government, but Song Fujin flatly refused.
Ancient women can survive in the palace and become empresses, the empress dowager is not easy, hanging curtains to listen to the government is to follow the routine of Wu Zetian in that year, but the difference is that Wu Zetian wants to listen to the government of the curtain was opposed by many ministers, and Song Fujin was sent to the door, but she resolutely did not want it.
Song Fujin believed that although the emperor was young, he was assisted by the orphan ministers left by the former emperor, and the former emperor was relieved, and as the empress dowager, he was more assured. Moreover, she felt that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was precisely because the harem women interfered with the government, which led to the later division of the feudal towns, and the Sheng Tang was no longer there. Moreover, Song Fujin only remembered his love affair with Xu Zhihuan and only wanted to enjoy his old age in peace.
At this point, the group of ministers had nothing more to say. Song Fujin spent all his days in the palace, because he missed Xu Zhihuan too much, his body was entangled, and he was depressed, and two years later, he also went away with Xu Zhihuan and buried Yongling with Xu Zhihuan, with the title of Empress Yuanjing.
summary:
Throughout Song Fujin's life, there were ups and downs, although her origin was not good, and she encountered war, she could not fight on the battlefield like a boy, make meritorious achievements, nor could she enter and leave the temple, worship the general and be a marquis, but she was able to get the protection of heaven, survive in the chaotic world, and rely on her own wisdom and cleverness, and get the favor and trust of Xu Zhiyan.
Husband and wife worked together to establish a new political power, and what is even more rare is that Song Fujin was content and happy, even though he was already the empress dowager and had the support of courtiers, he did not pollute the government and won a reputation of virtuousness.
From a small dowry maid to the mother's world, the disparity in identity is so large, Song Fujin has used her life to prove to the world that a woman can also turn over in a chaotic world, and her turnaround battle is really beautiful.
