The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 366: Liu E: Having the talent of Lü and Wu, but not their evil

曹魏
Cao Cao, who was drinking wine while looking at the sky, was stunned.

"Is this gone?"

"The wine is ready!"

Such a rare woman is rare in the world, and she is also beautiful and generous.

How come it's gone before I could even enjoy it?
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.

Sun Quan silently picked up the wine cup.

The three of them still couldn't understand this man's aesthetic taste.

"such a pity……"

……

Liao Dynasty - Emperor Shengzong
"Somebody come!"

Yelu Longxu stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

"Call the imperial physicians over! Call them all over!"

Then he knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly on Empress Dowager Xiao's lap.

"Mother... wuwuwuwu..."

Empress Dowager Xiao touched his head, her expression calm.

If her son can continue the policy safely, she can die with peace of mind.

……

[Coincidentally, there was also a queen mother between Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Emperor Renzong of Song. ]

[The Romance of the History of Song Dynasty says that he "has the talent of Lu and Wu, but not their evil"]

……

Big man.

"Ouch!"

Liu Bang stared at Lu Zhi with exaggerated surprise and said:
"Lü Wu's talent? Don't mention it, Nai Gong is really curious."

Lu Zhi stared at him coldly and said through gritted teeth:
"You want to talk about the evil of Lu Wu!"

This person... doesn't understand euphemisms at all!

Liu Bang avoided her gaze and waved his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, Nai Gong is making fun of you!"

Liu Ying and little Liu Heng moved to the outside.

"Uh... Nai Gong said that we are one as husband and wife. Your joke is my joke."

"Bang! Liu Ji!"

……

Datang.

Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand and glanced at her.

"What kind of talent is Lu Wu? How can he be as virtuous as my maid Guanyin?"

"My queen is the best!"

Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at him.

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads and rolled their eyes secretly.

……

Wu Zhou.

Li Dan glanced at Taiping.

'I told you we shouldn't have come!'

Her pretty face was too flat, with her brows furrowed.

'You're the one who got me into this!'

Wu Zetian looked at the sky calmly.

But his prestige soared dramatically!

The two people behind him felt a chill rising from behind.

They all withdrew their gazes from each other and lowered their heads, not daring to make any more small moves.

……

On the canopy.

A pretty young lady was wearing a green short-sleeved cross-collar shirt, a belt around her waist, white pants, and was shaking a rattle in her hand.

Not far away, the young Zhao Heng was staring at the young lady.

The scene changes.

Zhao Heng stood in front of the Danbi wearing a crown with twelve-chapter patterns.

The young lady was wearing a dark blue robe with a 迚翟 pattern.

Wearing a nine-dragon and four-phoenix crown on his head, he slowly walked up the stairs.

The two stood side by side.

The civil and military officials below kowtowed and shouted:

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live the Queen!"

……

【Empress Liu was called Liu E among the common people.】

[The History of Song Dynasty states that Liu E was a descendant of a military family, her ancestral home was Taiyuan, her grandfather Liu Yanqing was the Right Guard General of the Later Jin and Later Han dynasties, and her father Liu Tong was the commander of the Tiger and Defenders Army and the governor of Jiazhou in the Song Dynasty.]

[When Liu E was still an infant, her father died on the way to Taiyuan, after which the Liu family moved to Sichuan and settled in Yizhou.]

……

{Isn’t she the wife of the poor female silversmith in Yizhou, Shu?}

{This passage in the History of Song should be a fabrication of Liu E's life story after she became famous.}
{The truth is that Liu E was born in a humble family, her father died young, and she was raised by her maternal grandfather.}
{According to the "Song History: Biographies of Empresses and Concubines", Liu E was "good at playing the drum" since she was a child, which means she played the small drum and sang songs, suggesting that Liu E made a living by singing when she was young.}
｛Later, "Gong Mei from Sichuan, who made a living by forging silver, brought her to the capital." A Sichuan silversmith named Gong Mei brought her to the capital to make a living, probably also traveling around to perform. ｝
{It’s hard to say, actually. Since the Southern Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, people have demonized Liu E, such as the raccoon cat replacing the prince, the silversmith’s wife, but there is no accurate historical data to prove it.}
{Whether this record in the History of Song is true or not is hard to say. Anyway, it doesn't matter what you say. It can make sense.}
{Song Zhenzong didn't care whether she was married for the second time or not.}
{That's true. Regardless of status, Emperor Taizong of Song had clearly prohibited it. But right after I died, I made Liu E my concubine and she rose through the ranks! He was truly in love.}
……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi suppressed his anger.

It doesn’t matter whether this woman is remarried or not. What matters is that her social status is too low!

The interests of the two men in the north are deeply intertwined. If one of them dies, the other can still control the court.

The purpose of letting this boy marry Pan Mei's daughter was also to control the soldiers and generals.

He glanced at Zhao Heng, who was applying medicine with a grimace on his face.

Zhao Kuangyi decided to put up with him for the time being.

Besides, the Song Dynasty family rules are meant to guard against you!
Zhao Kuangyi touched his beard and calmed down.

……

Song Zhenzong period
"A civet cat for a prince? What civet cat?"

Zhao Heng, who was resting his head on Liu E's shoulder, frowned.

Liu E raised the corner of her mouth and said softly:

"I'm afraid some people are mumbling about it not being the biological mother's business when they see the benefits."

Zhao Heng was a little confused.

“What does that have to do with benefit?”

Liu E paused and looked at him calmly.

"How many sons do you have?"

Zhao Heng frowned instantly and covered his heart.

"Why are you bringing this up...Oh! That's what you mean!"

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, but when he glanced at the person next to him, he swallowed the words back.

One reason was that he was actually not sure whether Liu E was remarrying.

Secondly, he felt that if he said this, there would probably be a huge pit that would bury him.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. It’s never wrong to say anything!

Stop talking!
……

[Empress Liu was alert by nature, well-versed in history and court affairs, and could remember everything from beginning to end.]

[Whenever there was something going on in the palace, Emperor Zhenzong would ask about it, and she would always quote historical facts and give a proper answer. Her political talent was highly valued by Emperor Zhenzong.] [In April 1020, Emperor Zhenzong was seriously ill, and most of the government affairs were decided by Liu E.]

……

The period of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty
Liu Ying huddled on one side of the dragon throne, while Lu Zhi sat in the middle, holding a wooden stick.

"What do you think of this woman?"

Liu Ying looked at the sky and whispered:
"pretty."

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.

"The women in Bashu are all beautiful."

Lu Zhi had a blank expression on her face, but every wrinkle on her face showed disgust.

"…This woman has experienced a lot since she was young, and she knows human nature."

"After being noticed by a noble, one must study hard, read books and history, and cultivate one's political talents, so that one can have the opportunity to rule the country from behind the scenes."

“There are roughly two possibilities here.”

"First, if you don't have the foundation beforehand, you can't have such a thorough understanding."

"Second, maybe this woman is a natural talent, and she will learn a lot after entering the palace."

Liu Ying suddenly understood what Lu Zhi meant.

"Mother... Queen Mother wants her son to study more."

Lu Zhi closed her eyes and her forehead twitched.

"…It's to teach you how to get to know more people!"

"You know how to judge people! There are many talented people out there for you to use!"

Looking at Lu Zhi who was unable to suppress her anger, Liu Ying once again shrank his increasingly round body.

……

[In February 1022, Emperor Zhenzong of Song died, and the -year-old Crown Prince Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne as Emperor Renzong of Song. The next year, the reign was changed to Tiansheng.]

[After Emperor Zhenzong passed away, his will ordered Empress Liu to be the Empress Dowager, who was given the power to handle important military and national affairs.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"Well, let's calculate. This is the first time that the Empress Dowager has governed the country since the Wu family, right?"

Li Yuan was in a trance for a while.

The Queen Mother taking charge of the government, such a distant word.

Li Jiancheng reminded secretly:
"Isn't there still the Empress Dowager of Liao?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this.

Khitan...

Although he was narrow-minded, he did not forget that the Khitans were originally subordinates of the Turks.

And the Turks are our enemies!

Of all the great things Erlang had done, none had made him happier than destroying the Turks.

……

[As soon as Liu E came to power, she buried the Book of Heaven along with Zhenzong in the Yongding Mausoleum, and ordered the prohibition of the construction of palaces and temples, abolished the palace and temple envoys, and curbed the superstitious fanaticism that had permeated the court and the country since the Dazhong Xiangfu period.]

【The Lijianyuan established during the reign of Emperor Taizong was restored, and the Jianyuan was established. 】

[In order to clarify the administration of officials, the "Edict on Restraining the Children of Civil and Military Officials" was issued to prevent the children of officials from breaking the law and discipline.]

[He required ministers to write down the names of their descendants and relatives, claiming that he was granting them official positions through favoritism. In fact, he posted the relationship network and nepotism chart of each minister in his own bedroom. Whenever the ministers proposed to send someone, he would check the chart and only agree to the appointment if they were not relatives of the two governments.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi held his forehead.

He felt like he had a headache.

So he just happened to meet Wu Zetian?

No, no, no, maybe it was because of Wu Zetian that later generations took this as a warning.

After all, what's the point of you being the emperor if you don't solve the problem of the successor?

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji stroked his beard and thought.

Should I also appoint a queen?
I feel like having a queen is pretty secure.

But who should be appointed?

His eyes looked at Yang Yuhuan who was eating.

She definitely can't do it.

But those in the harem are not as good as her.

"Sanlang... do you want to eat?"

Yang Yuhuan picked a peach from the fruit basket and handed it over.

Li Longji declined politely.

It’s also strange. Why did this person start to argue with food and drink after Tianmu announced the cause of her death?
……

【Attaching great importance to water conservancy. During the Tiansheng and Mingdao years, the Taizhou Sea Weir, which was 180 miles long, and the Shuzhou Wutang Weir, which irrigated thousands of hectares of farmland, were built.】

[Jiaozi was issued. In the early Song Dynasty, iron coins were circulated in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but the heavy copper coins were very inconvenient to carry.]

[So, the Chengdu tycoon Lian Bao printed Jiaozi, which was the earliest paper money in the world, but counterfeit Jiaozi also appeared from time to time.]

【Empress Dowager Liu approved the establishment of an official Jiaozi office in Yizhou and the issuance of official Jiaozi. 】

【Improve the imperial examination system. Expand the number of candidates, tighten the examination system, and set up new examination subjects. The military examination in the Song Dynasty was first established during this period.】

【Established provincial schools. Ordered to grant provincial schools land as school food. Became the forerunner of "Qingli School Promotion".】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Bills?"

Liu Che remembered that he had asked Sang Hongyang to think about paper.

But I still haven’t figured it out yet.

"Paper money...paper...should be valuable, right?"

"After all...scarcity makes things valuable..."

Some weird ideas emerged in Liu Che's mind.

……

Great Sui.

"How do I feel..."

Yang Jian stroked his beard and murmured:
"Is Empress Dowager Liu similar to Empress Dowager Xiao?"

Dugu Jialuo made a rough comparison.

"No, we are still a little short in military terms."

Yang Jian was quite speechless. Do you want to hear what you have to say next?

With the military system of the Song Dynasty, do you still expect anyone to be good at military affairs?

It depends on whether the Song Dynasty can last for a hundred or so decades.

"This 'Edict on Restraining the Children of Civil and Military Officials' is a good system."

"It's useful."

……

Datang.

"Jiaozi?"

Li Shimin looked at these two words thoughtfully.

Paper money, using paper instead of copper coins.

The benefits are obvious, light and convenient.

But how to equate the two?

How many coins are equal to one piece of paper?

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Jiaozi...bullshit!

Li Zhi's attention was not on Jiaozi at all!
Tiansheng? Mingdao!
Tiansheng felt something was strange, and the words "Ming Dao" hit his sensitive spot directly!
Heavenly Saint, Two Saints!

Ming Dao, the sun and the moon are together!

These two reign titles definitely mean that Emperor Renzong of Song and Empress Dowager Liu were like the sun and the moon, shining together under the world!
