The case of the false prince of the Northern Song Dynasty, why did it almost make Quan Zhi Kaifeng Fu Yin almost "overturn the ship"
In the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, many stories that people kept secret happened. For example, the emperor's brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne as emperor, the protagonist of the tanuki cat for the prince Zhao Zhen, and the false prince Leng Qing,
The story of the tanuki cat changing the prince, under the influence of the drama, I believe everyone is familiar with it. It is said that both Concubine Liu and Concubine Li, concubines of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, were pregnant. Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Zhao Heng, suffered from many years of childlessness, and then he said, "Whoever has a son is an empress, and the child born to him will be made crown prince."
I don't know whether Li Fei's child was born first or what, Liu Fei moved her mind, bent on getting rid of Li Fei, and staged a palace fight drama. When Concubine Li was about to give birth, he instructed the eunuch to exchange a skinned tanuki cat for Li Feisheng's son, and framed her for having a monster, so he drove Concubine Li out of the palace.
The child who was later replaced by Concubine Li did not die, but Liu Fei's son fell to his death on the swing. After the plot reversed, the child was sent to the imperial palace to become emperor, and under bao Zheng's pursuit, he found his biological mother, Concubine Li.
This child was Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen.
In fact, the real historical data is that Zhao Zhen, the sixth son of Zhao Heng of the Song Zhenzong, lived in the palace since he was a child and did not live in the folk. The relationship between Zhao Zhen and Liu E was also very friendly, and after the death of Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Liu E bowed to the government and took care of the Zhao song dynasty in an orderly manner. After Liu E's death, Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne and initiated the famous New Deal of Emperor Renzong.
The story of the tanuki cat changing the prince can certainly be fabricated by the boring literati, but in the later years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Renzong did have a boiling false prince case, also known as the LengQing case.
In Emperor Renzong's later years, because the princes died one after another, the birth of sons became a piece of renzong Zhao Zhen's heart disease. But God seemed to be deliberately joking with him, his daughter had given birth to a large number, but his sons were only a few, and they were all frail and sickly, and they all walked earlier than him.
Without the Crown Prince, there would be no heir to the throne! As a last resort, he took his nephew to the palace to raise him. If there is no crown prince by the time of death, it can only be allowed to let the nephew inherit the throne.
In fact, Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen himself succeeded to the throne was also very embarrassing, he was originally Zhao Heng's sixth son, but the brothers were not contentious one by one, they left early, and finally the throne fell to him.
Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong was a good emperor, who succeeded to the throne logistically and sincerely, and his administration was also very benevolent, very loved by the people, and highly evaluated in history, but a good man like him inevitably continued his father's tragedy - the difficulty of heirs.
The difficulty of The heir of Emperor Renzong of Song was not because he was not a good woman, on the contrary, his harem team was numerous, which was the best of the Song Dynasty. There are dozens of empresses, noble concubines, virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, and beauties in his harem, but such a favored harem regiment has only given birth to 16 children, and there are only 3 boys, and the princess has only raised 4.
However, Zhao Zhen is most famous for not being the Empress Cao, and although the two respect each other, they have no heirs. Cao Shi was a second-married empress, and her predecessor was obsessed with Xiu Xian and had no interest in female sex. But the emperor of the hall, married a second marriage, but also became an empress, in the hierarchical ancient times, somewhat surprising.
Zhao Zhen had three sons, namely Zhao Fang, Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xi, but fate did not pity them, and they spent a short time in the world.
Every concubine in the harem wanted to be an empress, to be the master of the harem, and the only point of becoming an empress was to give birth to a son. Later, Zhao Zhen's concubines kept spreading the news that they were pregnant with dragons, but whenever Zhao Zhen was happy, the concubines who were pregnant with dragons actually committed suicide or disappeared one after another. Later, some concubines were panicked even if they were pregnant with dragons! In order to survive, he sneaked out the child.
In the final analysis, it was not Zhao Zhen who was not capable of giving birth to a son, but at that time, the royal family was extremely twisted, and his concubines were not able to keep their children. However, this also shows a problem, the struggle between the women of the harem of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen is too fierce, and Zhao Zhen is too benevolent and weak, and does not dare to rectify the chaotic harem with an iron fist, and naturally cannot control the women's mutual tilting. Later, Zhao Zhen was getting older, and it was difficult to have a son again
The emperor was childless, so naturally some people started a ghost idea and wanted to impersonate the emperor to obtain material benefits.
In 1050, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, came a man named Lengqing, who spent his days cheating, robbing the women of the people, committing wrongdoing, and openly claiming that his mother was a palace girl who had served the emperor of the dynasty, and was released from the palace because of his old age, who knew that on the eve of leaving the palace, he was favored by Zhao Zhen of The Song Renzong, and after leaving the palace, he found that he was pregnant, and the child he gave birth to was him Lengqing.
Every time Leng Qing pit was abducted and deceived and did something bad, he would say to others, "I am a prince, who of you dares to take care of me?"
At first, no one took it seriously, but he didn't know how to restrain himself, so this scoundrel ran rampant in the township under the banner of the crown prince, and the number of times finally annoyed everyone, and the defendant arrived in Kaifeng Province.
Someone reported the case, and the official government naturally had to take care of it, so Leng Qing was arrested and taken to the official government.
At that time, the governor of Kaifeng Province was not Bao Zheng, but Qian Mingyi. Leng Qing was arrested and taken to Kaifeng Province for interrogation, even if he came to the majestic court, he was very different from ordinary prisoners, not only not afraid but very arrogant and unreasonable.
This tells us that those bold black crooks, acting is not only professional, but also comes with a full set, which makes it difficult to distinguish.
Here a common sense is popularized, in the Northern Song Dynasty, only the prince can serve as the Governor of Kaifeng Province, and the other ministers go to Kaifeng Province to take office, the correct title is Quan Zhi Kaifeng Fu Yin, that is, the temporary acting official. Bao Zheng, who later served as the governor for more than a year, was actually the governor of Kaifeng Province.
Most of Bao Zheng's life was spent in local officials and served as imperial historians, and the time he served as the governor of Kaifeng Province was not long, which was very different from what Bao Zheng had been doing in Kaifeng for a long time.
Just as Qian Mingyi began the interrogation, Leng Qing suddenly shouted and said this:
"Ming Yi can't afford it (Qian Ming Yi, why don't you stand up yet)?"
Qian Mingyi couldn't help but stand up after being so drunk by him, and then calmly thought it was wrong and sat down again, making such a joke. After the news spread, Qian Mingyi's people almost "overturned the ship", and his colleagues in the DPRK and China also spread his performance as a joke.
Above the court, he coldly said that he was a prince, do you believe it?
Obviously, Leng Qing is cheating in the pit! But Qian Mingyi was confused and believed. In fact, at first he did not believe it, but when he saw an object, he was frightened and believed.
Because such a thing that Leng Qing took out, the dragon and phoenix embroidery leopard degree, only existed in the palace, and it was not something that ordinary palace women could get. Qian Mingyi knew that this was something in the palace, and coupled with the fact that the liar was cold and fearless, the play was very realistic, so he believed it.
Leng Qing also swore: "My mother was once a palace maid in the palace, who was favored by the emperor, and after becoming pregnant, she was released from the palace and gave birth to him." Qian Mingyi was also intimidated by Leng Qing's words and did not know how to deal with it, so he had to be held in solitary confinement first.
To be cautious, in order not to set himself on fire, he immediately reported the case to the imperial court.
Zhao Zhen was already in his forties at this time, and he did not have a son, and his heart was very unhappy. Therefore, after he received the recital, his attitude was very vague, maybe the hope in his heart was true, but he could not recognize a fake son.
In order to calm the rumors, Zhao Zhen then handed the case to Bao Zheng, who was known for his honesty and honesty, and asked him to investigate it thoroughly.
Bao Zhengming was well aware of Song Renzong's careful thinking and happily took over the case. In fact, this case is still very tricky, if the prince is indeed true, he went to handle the case, a bit of a laborious and unflattering element.
Wrap up
After Bao Zheng took over, he did not rush, but conducted an in-depth investigation of Leng Qing.
After Mingcha secretly visited, he found that Leng Qing's mother was indeed a palace maid before, and after being dismissed from the palace, she married a woman and gave birth to a man and a woman. It was precisely on this basis that Leng Qing called himself a prince in his hometown and cheated for a year. Later, a Taoist monk named Gao Ji'an saw that Leng Qingqi could live in a strange place, so he took him to Kaifeng Province to continue cheating, taking a risk, and wanting to make a fortune. This is where the sensational fake prince case comes in.
After the truth came out, Bao Zheng concluded that Leng Qing was not a prince at all, but a big liar who did evil in the name of a prince.
The outcome of this case is also conceivable, and Leng Qing was sentenced to a decision. What is a decision? As the name suggests, beheading is immediately executed (the average prisoner is beheaded after the autumn).
Yin QianMingyi, who was confused and confused in the trial, lost his black hat because of this matter and was dismissed from his post and used it for another purpose.
Originally, this was only a small and inconspicuous case, but because of the intervention of Song Renzong, it became a sensational big case in the Northern Song Dynasty. But the result was a bit nonsensical, Zhao Zhen originally had hope, and now the hope was broken again.
After this incident, childlessness became Zhao Zhen's heart disease, and he began to indulge in the harem all day, wanting a son, and naturally abandoned political affairs. In the fourth year of Jiayou, the two concubines of the harem bore him two more daughters, which made Zhao Zhen's heart like ashes, and he had no choice but to choose a clan as his adopted son and give him the name Zhao Shu. Putting aside his heart, within two years, Zhao Zhen died. It seems that heart disease is sometimes the strength to support him to live, but Zhao Zhen's sons who died early are all sick and dead, maybe not! There may be a cruel and complicated court struggle, the power struggle has always been strange, and the prince is not spared.
However, Zhao Zhen's successor, Zhao Shu, did not last for a few years, and because he was highly suspicious during his adopted son, he had serious psychological problems. There were many jokes at the enthronement ceremony, and during the years of his reign as emperor, he was almost every day in a panic, and he could not be cured, and he died soon after. It seems that the ruthless is the most imperial family.
In fact, the heirs of the Northern Song Dynasty have always been very confused. Later, there was also a calligrapher Emperor Huizong of Song. He originally did not have the right to inherit, but the empress dowager at that time liked him very much, so she helped him to the dragon chair, and the result can be imagined that the emperor was confused and willful and did not pay attention to political affairs, but he liked calligraphy and other art that misled the country and the people, which naturally made neighboring countries look at him. Within a few years, under the impact of the mighty Golden State Iron Hoof, it disappeared into the cigarette box of history.
