From empress to empress, the Ren clan only passed a short year.
365 days of scenery, actually lost the rest of his life.
Watching the 14-year-old Li Renxiao walk to the throne, Ren Shi, dressed in filial piety, was in a trance.
Two years ago, she was a descendant of the Great Song Dynasty.
Two years later, she became empress dowager of Western Xia.
The twist of fate stemmed from her father, Ren Dejing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="9" > the Great Song Dynasty and surrendered to Western Xia</h1>
The year 1137 was a watershed in the fate of the Ren clan.
Her father, Ren Dejing, was the general judge of xi'an Prefecture (present-day Haiyuan, Ningxia) in the Song Dynasty, and her life was full of flavor and calm.
Marrying the right boy, living a life of peace and wealth, is happy enough, Ren thought.
Song | Ladies
Unexpectedly, the iron horse of the Western Xia army broke through the gates of Xi'an Prefecture.
In the face of the sword and light sword shadow, Ren Dejing, who was an official of the state capital, did not lead his troops to resist.
Believing in the danger of wealth and wealth, he knelt on his knees and surrendered to Western Xia with ease.
When Later Shu fell, the poems written by Lady Huarui, the favorite concubine of the Later Lord, coincided with the situation of the Ren clan.
"The flag was lowered in the king's city, and the concubines learned in the deep palace that 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men."
Knowing that his father had surrendered, Ren Shi, who was in the boudoir, could not imagine that he was about to embark on the historical stage of Western Xia.
At the age of sixteen, li qianshun, the fourth ruler of Western Xia, was a powerful and ambitious king.
After capturing Xi'an Prefecture in one fell swoop, he immediately appointed the subordinate Ren Dejing as the governor of Quan Prefecture.
As a Northern Song Dynasty official, in the face of the reward of a fierce enemy of a foreign race, Ren Dejing did not hesitate at all, and chose to accept it with a smile.
What mother country, what betrayal, as long as it is profitable, even if it sacrifices her own daughter!
Fame and fortune, take it to you!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="28" > the ambition of surrendering women to seek glory</h1>
After the surrender of Western Xia, Ren Dejing's ambition began to expand rapidly.
In order to meet the supreme ruler of Western Xia and seize the supreme power, he released a beautiful chip.
Offering his own daughter to the court as a concubine, Ren Dejing's obedience won the dragon's heart.
Li Qianshun, who was intoxicated with the beauty of gentle township, immediately promoted him to the position of Jingzhou defense envoy.
That year, Ren was only 17 years old, and Li Qianshun was already 55 years old.
He was consecrated to the suzerain as a subordinate daughter, and this person was about the same age as his father!
On the day he entered the palace, Ren's heart was very complicated.
The color is delicate, gentle and lovely, and her young flesh makes Li Qian follow the fascination.
The daughter's favor secretly breeds Ren Dejing's ambition.
It is no shame to surrender, and today's knees are weak for the sake of a complete rise in the future!
After careful planning, Ren Dejing put down the money bait again in the game of power.
The emperor is greedy, and the ministers are greedy for money.
Throughout the ages, bribery has never been outdated.
Not sparing of gold and silver, Ren Dejing's gaze crossed the harem and the concubines with deep backgrounds, pointing directly to the queen's throne.
In 1138, Ren, who had been in the palace for less than a year, was made empress.
At the age of 18, she became the mother of the Western Xia Kingdom.
Ren Dejing, who became the head of the state, was promoted again and became the commander of the Jingzhou Capital.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="50" > Queen Jeru died on hunger strike</h1>
The Ren clan gradually began to control the western Xia state.
Sacrificing the happiness of the world, although there are occasional losses when the midnight dream returns, seeing the prosperity of the family, the Ren family is not satisfied in their hearts.
The harem has always been one.
Knowing that the companion is like a companion tiger, Empress Ren does not dare to take it lightly.
When she thought of the tragic death of her predecessor, Empress Jeroboam, she couldn't help but be worried.
In that year, Emperor Daozong of Liao sent envoys to kill the dictatorial Empress Xiaoliang with poisoned wine.
After that, she supported her 16-year-old son Li Qianshun to be pro-government.
Despite his young age, Li Qianshun has already shown the style of a mature politician.
In order to dispel the liao-Xia estrangement, he repeatedly went to the table and respectfully asked the Liao Dynasty for marriage, indicating that he had no objection to the Liao Emperor's poisoning of his mother.
His sincerity worked.
Emperor Liaozong's daughter Yelü Nanxian was made Princess Cheng'an, married to Western Xia, and was crowned empress.
Although this is a political marriage, the two have a good relationship.
A few years later, Empress Yelü gave birth to her eldest son, Li Ren'ai.
Not surprisingly, this child will become the future lord of the Western Xia Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
In 1125, the new Jurchens destroyed the Liao state with the power of destruction and decay, and the last emperor Yelü Yanxi was captured.
When the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao, the crown prince Li Ren'ai pleaded with his father to send troops to rescue him.
Seeing the wind and making the rudder is the usual means of politicians.
No matter how his son cried, Li Qianshun did not let up and turned to Jin Guo as a vassal.
Li Ren'ai, who was saddened by the demise of his grandfather's kingdom and refused to submit to Jin, died of grief.
Tragedy ensued, and Queen Jeroboam became angry and hateful, and eventually went on a hunger strike and died.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="76" > widowed for 30 years The tragedy ended</h1>
Despite her favor, Empress Ren still cherished feathers and was obedient to Li Qianshun.
I was afraid that my favor would disappear, and I and my family would die like Queen Yerushalayim.
But, she was lucky.
Or, unfortunately.
In the second year of her appointment as empress, the fifty-six-year-old emperor died.
At the age of 19, Ren became an undead.
A young widow who can only wait to die in loneliness.
Her youth, at this moment, was completely declared dead.
Fortunately, after Li Qianshun's second son Li Renxiao succeeded to the throne, although he was not born of the Ren clan, he still honored her as empress.
With the bottom card of Empress Ren, the political status of the Ren family is impregnable.
Ren Dejing began a grand performance in the political arena of Western Xia.
He fought against the rebels and was awarded the title of Duke of Xiping.
As minister of state, he single-handedly held the military and political power.
The Jin Dynasty was enfeoffed as the King of Chu, and the entry and exit ceremony was the same as that of the emperor.
In addition to him, Ren Dejing's two brothers were also appointed as the Imperial Guard and the Xingqing Fu Yin.
One person is above ten thousand people, and ren dejing's appetite can no longer be satisfied.
In 1170, Ren Dejing's wings were already abundant.
With a heavy army in hand, he coerced Li Renxiao to divide the territory of Western Xia into two, and make half of it ruled by the Chu state.
Unfortunately, this time, Ren Dejing gambled and lost.
The Jin Dynasty refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Chu state.
Feuding with the Jin Dynasty, he turned to the Southern Song Dynasty and conspired to cut down the Gold.
The plot was revealed, and Li Renxiao, who had the support of the Jin Dynasty, could not bear it and ordered the killing of the Ren brothers.
Shortly after ren dejing's failure to divide the country, Empress Ren died tragically.
Thirty-three years into the palace, the beautiful Ren clan struggled to live in loneliness for 30 years.
Concubines, empresses, empresses...
The honorable status passed by a few strokes in the history books buried the ordinary happiness she deserved as a woman.
If my father had not surrendered and been an ordinary citizen for the rest of his life, would he have been happier?
Unfortunately, history has never been if.
