The refreshing and legendary historical drama "Qing Ping Le" is adapted from the online novel "Lonely City Closed". It depicts the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty based on the experience of Song Renzong. Since last year's "Knowledge", the historical drama of the Song Dynasty has swept the screen, giving people a different feeling. They are not like Qing palace operas, which often call out screams and kills, and are thrilling. On the contrary, they are polite and reveal a graceful and luxurious life everywhere.
among the harem women who have already played, each has its own difficulties, and they are not so lucky. For example, although Liu E is the queen mother and has been listening to politics for ten years, she was born in a poor family. He suffered from displacement in his early years and was looked down upon later. Another example is Queen Cao, the heroine in the play. Although she was born from a prominent family and became a queen effortlessly, she could not be favored by her husband and was almost abolished. After all, the luckiest woman is actually Gao Taotao who appeared in episode 19.
In this episode, Empress Cao is waiting for the little princess to eat together, but the chubby cute girl appears and tells the princess to refuse to come in the courtyard. The crew specially wrote subtitles for this girl: Gao Taotao. This is of course an unusual move, and it also implies that Gao Taotao will have a certain weight in the subsequent plot.
Xiao Jue also saw it here, not knowing how the plot should develop, let alone Gao Taotao's many scenes, but Xiao Jue knew that this girl was actually a very lucky queen in the Northern Song Dynasty and even in history.
Gao Taotao is still a little girl, why does she appear in the queen's palace? In fact, her family is also very famous, and her father and grandfather have served as Jiedu. Her mother is the cousin of Queen Cao. At this time, Empress Cao still had selfish intentions in raising Gao Taotao in the palace. She was going to wait until the girl grew up, and dedicated it to Song Renzong as her concubine, so that she could continue to take care of the Cao family and continue her glory on her own.
However, people are not as good as heaven. Empress Cao's Lalang match failed, but a wonderful marriage was unexpectedly completed. Song Renzong had never had a son, so he had to adopt the imperial clan Zhao Zongshi as a candidate for the crown prince. Zhao Zongshi was also raised in the Queen's Palace, and he was about the same age as Gao Taotao. After going back and forth, the two began to love each other and developed feelings.
Song Renzong was an enlightened emperor. After hearing about this incident, he not only did not blame him, but said that he "must be worthy". As a result, Gao Taotao naturally married Zhao Zongshi, and as her husband was established as the crown prince, she was also named the crown princess. When Zhao Zongshi became the emperor, it was for Song Yingzong, and she became the Queen of Song Dynasty. This process of
shows her luck. If it wasn't because of a noble birth, if it wasn't because of an aunt who was a queen, she would never have the fate to enter the palace, and she would not have seen Zhao Zongshi. If it weren't for Song Renzong's open-mindedness, there wouldn't be a love story about a childhood sweetheart.
In other aspects, she is lucky enough. Liu E has pets and no children, and Empress Cao has no pets and children, but she is deeply loved by Song Yingzong. Even though Song Yingzong and Empress Cao once fell apart, their husband and wife are as loving as ever. She gave birth to four boys and four girls. Not only was she highly productive, but she also had both sons and daughters. These were also all the children of Song Yingzong, showing how deep the relationship between the two is. Among them, their eldest son Zhao Xu is Song Shenzong.
I want to say regret, it is that her husband Song Yingzong and son Song Shenzong did not live long and died early. When Song Shenzong died, he ordered his 10-year-old son Song Zhezong to succeed, and asked his mother Gao Taotao to listen to politics, just like Liu E's past.
Actually, at this time, the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was much more complicated than when Song Zhenzong died. Because of Wang Anshi's reform, the ruling and opposition parties were divided into reformists and conservatives. The leaders of the two factions, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, were both noble gentlemen, but the two factions below them turned the dispute over the country’s line into a naked partisan dispute. These battles are only about fighting against political enemies, not about the reform itself. The Queen Mother
resists the new law, but it does not mean that she is incompetent. On the contrary, her political level is very high. She laid off redundant military personnel, released a large amount of productivity to engage in agriculture, and maintained the normal operation of feudal society. She stopped building the palace and followed the simple style of the country that had just been founded in the early Song Dynasty. She also cleaned up redundant court ladies, reduced royal expenditures, and at the same time banned excessive collection and tribute. She banned her relatives from monopolizing power. Starting from her own life, her two younger brothers only got promoted in nine years. She is willing to mentionHe used famous officials such as Sima Guang and Lu Gong, and the celebrities gathered in the court for a while. Because of her hard support,
finally relieved the Northern Song Dynasty from the party struggle. Even the Liao envoy also inquired about the news and told his emperor that the Southern Dynasty had returned to the Renzong era under the governance of the Queen Mother, so don't make any decisions.
However, there is no permanent banquet in the world. After nine years in power, the Queen Mother has also run out of oil. Before she died, she specially reminded the two prime ministers, Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren, that after the emperor took office, if they could not be used, they must get out in advance. At the same time, she cried bitterly and told the two prime ministers that she must remember herself at this time next year!
In fact, the high power of the queen mother is definitely not worrying about others forgetting themselves. She was worried that others would forget the glory of the Song Dynasty. After her death, Song Zhezong, Song Huizong, and Song Qinzong were unable to restore the glory of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, with more and more treacherous officials, the Northern Song Dynasty inevitably slipped into the abyss.
Everyone must be very interested in the name Gao Taotao, why is it such a loli. The name was not made up. Sima Guang not only clearly stated that she was named Gao Zhengyi in "Gao Shibao Chuan Zihou", but also stated that her nickname was Tao Tao. Probably because the nickname is so cute, everyone even forgot her name. Even so, there is no disrespect to her. After her death, she was hailed as the "Yao and Shun", which is the highest evaluation among the sages of the Northern Song Dynasty.
