Why did Zhenzong put Renzong under Liu E's name?
It's very simple. In one word, mother is worth more than child!
Liu E's humble background was not a secret at the time. It just so happened that Zhenzong had no sons at that time (all those born before had died young).
Later, Li gave birth to a boy, the future Song Renzong.
Zhenzong wanted to make Liu E his queen, and this child came at the right time.
Liu E had a son in his name. If he wanted to make Liu E his queen, the ministers would have no reason to object.
Being able to give birth to a Lin'er for the emperor can be said to be a great achievement.
Therefore, when Renzong was adopted by Liu E, Liu E was naturally made queen.
Renzong was raised closely by Liu E since he was a child. In his memory, Liu E was his biological mother.
Although many people know that Liu E is not, Liu E is the queen, and Zhenzong was ill in his later years, so many political affairs were left to Liu E to handle.
With the emperor's favor and power in his hands, no one dared to tell the young Song Renzong the truth.
It was not until Renzong's personal rule, that is, Liu E's death, that Renzong knew that his biological mother was Li.
He lived in a state of indifference for more than twenty years, and when his biological mother died, he didn't know it at the time. He just thought it was the death of an ordinary concubine.
Therefore, Renzong felt very guilty for his biological mother.
But the deceased was dead, and Renzong had no chance to make amends.
So, he transferred all his guilt to his biological mother.
Li has a younger brother named Li Yonghe. In terms of seniority, Li Yonghe is Song Renzong's uncle.
Princess Fukang's consort Li Wei was Li Yonghe's son.
Renzong married his most favored daughter to his biological mother's nephew to some extent out of compensation, and at the same time to show the importance he attached to his mother's family.
As a result, the marriage turned out to be a tragedy.
The original work of "Qing Ping Le" has Princess Fukang as the main plot. However, when Zhongwu adapted it, she felt it was not ambitious enough.
Therefore, the perspective was moved to Song Renzong during the final shooting.
Taking the life of Song Renzong as a clue, it tells the story of Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Northern Song Dynasty, who gradually took control of the government from the time he ascended the throne as a young man to the time when he dedicated himself to loving the people and governing the country.
It also reflects Renzong's emotional choices, joys and sorrows behind the turbulent court.
(Haha, it may also be that in order to increase the number of episodes, we filmed Princess Fukang and Liang Huaiji alone, but we couldn't film 70 episodes.)
…
…
…
Three days later.
Li Jie finished the drama again and then called up the system.
'Enter the copy world. '
Uh-huh!
The familiar sight dimmed, and when Li Jie regained consciousness again, the first thing he noticed was a faint fragrance.
When he opened his eyes, he saw an antique room, or palace, in front of him.
This room is quite large, with a depth of about thirty meters and a similar width.
Soon, Li Jie learned the name of this room from his memory.
Funing Hall, the emperor's living quarters.
(In fact, during this period, Funing Hall should have been called 'Yanqing Hall', and was later changed to Funing Hall)
At the same time, Li Jie also figured out the current time point.
The first year of Qianxing (1022), March 10th.
In the middle of last month, on February 19th, Song Zhenzong died in his palace.
The sky cannot be left without an emperor for a day. As soon as Zhenzong died, the original person was immediately ascended to the throne and became the new emperor.
But at this time, the 'original body' was only a thirteen-year-old child. Neither Song Zhenzong before his death nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the 'original body' could afford a country.
Therefore, Zhenzong left a legacy before his death.
'... However, Nian Fang was in the Chongnian year (referring to Zhao Zhen), suitable for Lin's general affairs, and to protect the emperor's status, which belongs to the mother's ritual. Empress Yizun (Liu E) is the empress dowager, and Concubine Shu is the empress dowager. The empress dowager (Liu E) has both military and state power. She will definitely be able to Zhu He Qingling, enshrine her into a constitution, support Chongxi's fortune, and take the lead. Heart of Earth...'
The general meaning of this edict is that the Crown Prince is too young, and the Queen Mother (Liu E) will temporarily assist in handling national affairs.
Although Zhenzong left an edict that clarified Liu E's power, how to handle politics required a process.
After all, there is no precedent in this dynasty.
Wang Zeng, a counselor in political affairs, proposed that the emperor and the empress dowager visit the Chengming Palace every five days to decide on national affairs. (The person who participates in political affairs is roughly equivalent to the deputy prime minister)
But Prime Minister Ding Wei disagreed with this proposal.
Ding Wei was a very ambitious man, and he finally defeated the former prime minister Kou Zhun. It happened that the emperor died again, and he wanted to seize more power because he was orphaned and widowed.
So, he made another suggestion.
The emperor went to court on the first and fifteenth day of each month. At other times, the queen mother and the emperor convened ministers to discuss important matters.
Non-important matters were discussed by the ministers of the Zaifu, and the results were sent to the emperor and the queen mother by the eunuchs (eunuchs, also known as eunuchs). Only after obtaining the approval of the emperor and the queen mother could they be implemented.
Compared with Wang Zeng's proposal, this proposal is much more cunning.
What is a 'big deal'?
What is 'not a big deal'?
Isn't it Ding Wei who has the final say?
At this time, Ding Wei had just defeated his old rival Kou Zhun and was in great power. Most of the ministers in the two houses were his.
The Song Dynasty inherited the system of the Tang and Five Dynasties, and there was a "Zhongshu Menxia" in the palace, which was the highest administrative agency, referred to as "Zhongshu", also known as "Dongfu".
The other of the two palaces is the 'West Palace', which is the Privy Council, the highest institution in charge of the country's military.
Being ranked in the two houses means that you have the qualifications to rule the world.
Today, the ministers in charge are Prime Minister Ding Wei, Secondary Prime Minister Feng Zheng, Councilors for Political Affairs Ren Zhongzheng and Wang Zeng, Privy Council Envoy Cao Yili, and Deputy Privy Council Envoys Qian Weiyan and Zhang Shixun.
Among these people, except Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun, everyone else is Ding Wei's ally.
In addition, Ding Wei also had an ally in the palace.
Ding Wei had a wide circle of friends, and Liu E's confidant eunuch Lei Yungong was also an important ally of his.
With help from Lei Yungong inside and suggestions from ministers outside, Ding Wei's proposal was finally passed.
With internal and external collusion, Ding Wei's power also reached its peak.
After recalling the information in his memory, Li Jie began to think secretly, how to change the current situation?
Liu E is not a simple woman, who can transform from a commoner's wife to a queen.
Now she has become the Queen Mother who listens to politics behind the curtain.
After experiencing the pleasure of having great power, how could Liu E willingly hand over the power in her hands?
Historically, Liu E has been unwilling to formally return power. Even when Renzong grew up, she still firmly controlled the government.
It was not until the second year of Ming Dynasty (1033), after Liu E's death, that Renzong officially began to take charge.
From the first year of Qianxing to the second year of Mingdao, there are still eleven years left!
eleven years?
Li Jie can't wait that long!
Renzong's character in history is called "forgiving" at best, and "weak" at worst. He did not have the courage to resist Liu E.
However, once Li Jie wakes up, that will all be a thing of the past!
