In the play, Wang Kai plays the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. The play tells about his siege and his life. Zhao Zhen learned that Liu E, the queen mother who raised him, was not his biological mother, and that his biological mother was Li Lanhui, the queen mother's maidservant. In order to repay the Li family, Zhao Zhen married his beloved daughter Huirou to Li Wei, the descendant of the Li family. This buried a tragedy in the royal court. This is what is depicted in the play.
In the history of Song Renzong's biological mother, it is indeed not the empress dowager Liu E. There is a legendary literary story in the classic "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", which is well-known to everyone. This is the well-known "civet cat for the prince". The protagonist of this story is Song Renzong. It is said that when Concubine Li Chen gave birth to a baby, Liu Fei, a former good sister who was insidious and deceitful, and Guo Huai, the inner supervisor, exchanged a raccoon cat with a peeled skin for the newborn baby. After the incident, Song Zhenzong thought that Concubine Li gave birth to a monster, so he sent Concubine Li into the cold palace. Concubine Liu became a queen because of the birth of a prince, but the baby who was replaced did not die, but was unbearable to kill him. The court lady Kou Zhu was transferred to the Eight Sage Kings and grew up in the palace. Empress Liu ordered Kou Zhu to be tortured. Kou Zhu was unyielding and died after touching the pillar. Empress Liu ordered Guo Huai to set fire to Lenggong. Concubine Li was rescued by the internal prisoner and left to live among the people. She showed us what fire prevention, theft, and girlfriends are. Later, when the son of Concubine Liu died, Song Zhenzong had no descendants, so he called the child who was actually his own flesh and blood from the Eight Sage Kings into the palace and named him a righteous son. Later, the child became the emperor by chance, and he was Song Renzong who was later known for his kindness. Later, Bao Zheng investigated the case and severely punished the traitor Guo Huai and Liu Fei. Also welcomed Princess Li back to the palace. The story of
is really twists and turns, but this is just a dramatic story, not a historical fact. But I want to tell everyone, but this is not entirely fanciful. Song Renzong Zhao Zhen in history did experience similar things. In the third year of Xiangfu in Dazhong of the Northern Song Dynasty, in 1010 AD, Song Renzong was born in the palace. At first his name was Zhao Yiyi. At that time, Song Zhenzong's father was in his 40s. All his first 5 sons died young. The birth of Zhao Yiyi made Song Zhenzong overjoyed. But soon, Song Zhenzong ran into trouble, that is, Zhao Yingyi was born to the concubine Li, who made the bed and quilt. She was originally a court lady, and she was forced to become a concubine after being favored by Zhenzong for a while, and her grade was very low. If developed according to the general plot, Zhao Yiyi is the only son of Zhenzong, inheriting the Datong, and the mother is expensive with the son. After ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, the birth mother Li Fei will definitely become the queen mother.
All this was destroyed by the cruel intervention of Song Zhenzong, because Song Zhenzong loved Liu Concubine Liu E very much. He especially hoped that Concubine Liu could become a queen and become a queen mother in the future, so he acquiesced to Liu E's behavior of crossing the son. Soon after the birth of Zhao Yiyi, he was forced to take him up in his palace to take care of and educate Zhao Yiyi as a mother. He also changed his name to Zhao Zhen. The flesh and blood of her own body was taken away. Concubine Li must have broken her heart at the time, but what if the emperor acquiesced to a weak woman? A few years later, in 1022 AD, Song Zhenzong died, and the heartbroken Concubine Li was ordered to guard the mausoleum of Zhenzong and stay with the ancient Buddha in the blue lantern all day long. Renzong succeeded to the throne at a young age. He was only 13 years old when he assumed the throne. He always thought that Empress Liu was his biological mother, but this mother never let his son directly be in charge of the government, personally in charge of the government. Regarding Renzong's life experience, because he was afraid of the queen mother and no one dared to speak, Renzong never knew who his biological mother was.
11 years later, in 1033 AD, Empress Dowager Liu finally died of illness, and only then did Yan Wang Zhao Yuanyan tell Renzong the truth. According to historical records, when Zhao Yuanyan confided the truth, Renzong was in a thunderous mood when he heard this. He immediately asked where his biological mother was, that he had grown up so much, and he hadn't shown a trace of filial piety.Feeling extremely guilty. But after learning that Zhao Zhen’s biological mother, Concubine Li, was seriously ill, he was so sad and physically and mentally devastated that he was so devastated that he ignored the government for several days and issued an edict to his life and death. He was buried with filial piety, and named his birth mother as the empress dowager, posthumous name "Zhuang Yi". He personally presided over the burial ceremony of his mother. Because his life experience was concealed, he had never seen his birth mother. The time of his death was also very strange. It was not long before the Empress Dowager Liu, when Song Renzong had always suspected that he might have been killed. , Is to cover up his life experience. So at that time, the coffin was opened to prove that the conclusion was that Concubine Li did not die by fate. Otherwise, Li Fuzi thought that Renzong would definitely collapse and would make unexpected moves. The future of Song Dynasty might be rewritten.
So compare this real history with the first episode of Qingpingle. In the play, Renzong learns that his biological mother is not Empress Liu, but after Li Shunrong, who is the guardian of his father and emperor, in Yongding Mausoleum. He is eager for mothers. He turned on his horse before dawn, and wanted to go out of the palace to the mother's knee. It can happen. So in "The raccoon for the crown prince", the negative prototype of the Queen Mother Liu is like a poisonous scorpion. In fact, in "Qing Ping Le", the Queen Mother Liu played by Wu Yue is a very talented person in history. She is considered to be "the talent of Lu Wu, but not the evil of Lu Wu". Lu Wu is the Queen Mother Lu and Wu Zetian. In the play, Master Li thinks that the empress dowager Liu he described is not bad, and it is still in line with the facts. Then what outstanding contributions did Liu E made to the Song Dynasty?
From the front, we can see that Song Renzong’s father, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, is indeed not a good father and husband, but he caused the tragedy of the separation of Zhao Zhen and his mother. And he also did a lot of absurd things in the position of emperor, such as the famous "Book Movement" in history. In the history of China, there have been many movement reforms that benefited the country, or brought the country into the abyss of degeneration, and the Tianshu Movement was the failure of the Song Dynasty. Many people may have heard this name for the first time. At first glance, the Tianshu movement is related to literary works, and it has a somewhat mysterious feeling. In fact, it has nothing to do with literature at all, but is linked to feudal superstition.
In short, the terminator of this huge and wasting national power is Liu E. Fortunately, she turned vigorously and promptly, otherwise Da Song would soon come to an end. A woman's family was at the helm of the empire. At that time, Kou Zhun and other ministers opposed Liu E's monopoly, but they were not Liu E's opponents. Let's take an example, and you can see that this Liu E is really no ordinary person. After the burial of Song Zhenzong, Liu E chose a very suitable time that year. He was very sincere. He told the ministers in the court that Jinzong had just passed away and the country was uncertain. The emperor needed the help of the ministers in order to have a good time. future. Ministers can write a list of their relatives and friends. After reading these lists, the emperor and I will definitely reuse them so that everyone can share the emperor's grace. The ministers of the Song Dynasty were very happy to hear what Liu E said. Every minister couldn't wait to report all the names of his relatives and friends to Liu E. Where do they actually know? This is Liu E's strategy.
Liu E used this method to prevent ministers from forming parties with their relatives and friends, and to clearly know who their relatives and friends are. After Liu E got the list, he checked one by one. The ministers in the court and all the ministers on the list were eliminated by Liu E. Only those who were not on the list could have the chance to be promoted, thus preventing the courtiers from forming parties for private purposes. , The possibility of chaos in the government. Liu E's political ability and talents are indeed extraordinary. Although she did not proclaim the emperor in history, she made a great contribution to the development of the Song Dynasty during the period of probation. Not to mention the end of the Tianshu chaos, he also invented the world's first paper currency "Jiaozi", which contributed to the economic development of the Song Dynasty. These actions by Liu E played a very important role in the subsequent prosperity of Renzong. So if you want to say "Qingpingle", this character cannot be skipped.
Let’s return to the play. The whole play also describes the historical scenes of turbulent struggles between the ministers of the New Deal and the old-style power ministers. Zhao Zhen governed the country like a scale, weighing the forces of all parties, and devoting himself to state affairs. Huirou and his maid, Huaiji, who grew up with him, have established a deep relationship with Li Wei, who is inconsistent with his own interests and is dullRepulsive in all sorts of ways, finally clashed with her husband's family, knocked on the palace door at night desperately, broke the strictest rules of the empire, and caused heinous criticism. Sima Guang even wanted to "broken the head into admonishment" above the hall. Zhao Zhen's life-long caressing and unobstructed speech and the manner of supervising the monarch made him bruised and bruised in struggling between loving his daughters and maintaining the ideals of governing the country. In the end, the princess fought in a semi-crazy manner and never succumbed to the fate of becoming Li Wei's true wife, but never met with Huaiji.
It can be said that the whole play has a nearly panoramic interpretation of the story of the family and country of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, because of its slow and lengthy rhythmic style and almost procrastinated plot advancement, many netizens also think that this drama is the melatonin of the world? In fact, this is very consistent with Renzong's tone in history. Renzong Zhao Zhen was originally a slow man. He did not rush to deal with government affairs. Everything was based on the law. It must be.” So it is said that Renzong who believes in the rule of law in the opening chapter of "Qing Ping Le" should not have violated the entrance of the palace at night.
Song Renzong's "Benevolence" is his temple name, which can be regarded as a minimalist evaluation of the emperor during his lifetime. Mencius said that "the benevolent loves others." To be called a benevolent, at least they are all emperors above the middle dynasty. Throughout history, Zhao Zhen's life is indeed a life of benevolent governance and love for the people, generosity and politeness. It is actually appropriate to evaluate him with benevolence. Being a man is only benevolent. Compared with those Shengshi Mingjun who have made great achievements in history, Song Renzong may not be able to compare with them. He is weak in temperament and generous, and lacks the majesty and courage of the emperor. But the Northern Song Dynasty was also in his reign, with economic prosperity, people's wealth, political clarity, and the emergence of famous officials. Not only was Renzong flourishing, it was also a peaceful and flourishing age.
Let's see the big from the small, just tell a few interesting things about him. Let me ask everyone, if you are a Song Dynasty commoner, do you like such an official? For example, one year, Song Renzong was thinking about expanding his palace, so he sent someone to discuss with the residents north of the palace. However, these residents turned down the demolition negotiations from the imperial palace. No matter how much money they were given, they were unwilling to move out, and they became nail households. Things are deadlocked here. According to common sense, the government should issue a mandatory demolition announcement next, and find a group of demolition masters to follow the bulldozer and drive into the demolition site, but this step did not happen. The Song Dynasty has the most power and masters life and death. Song Renzong retreated. As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty had the smallest imperial palace in history, which was only the size of a mansion of a Jiedushishi.
One more thing, there was a scholar in Sichuan that year. He might be crazy because he wanted to be an official, so he wrote a poem dedicated to the Chengdu prefect. There is a line in the poem, "Burn the broken sword gate on the plank road, Xichuan is not a universe". The prefect of was terrified. Isn't this anti-poetry? Burned the plank road, segregated Chengdu, established itself on the ground, and rebelled against it, and immediately pressed the scholars into the capital. The case was submitted to Renzong, but Zhao Zhen disapproved and said: "This is an old scholar who wants to be an official and write a poem to vent. How can he be punished?" So the lucky scholar was not punished, but was also Enlisted to join the army as a householder, fulfilled the dream of being an official. If this person is left until Ming and early mornings, he will be stripped of several layers.
has a lot of bits and pieces I won’t talk about, which also makes the later generations highly appraise him. For example, Wang Anshi commented on his ", this is forgiving, benevolent, frugal, natural, loyal and forgiving, and the effect is always the same" . Wang Fuzhi highly praised him, and highly affirmed Song Renzong's virtue, talent, reason and merit as a true gentleman. Even the later Emperor Kangxi was his fan brother. However, in the TV series "Qing Ping Le", Song Renzong also exposed a more subtle side of his unknown. He respects the destiny of the heavens and fears the words of others. He has the domineering and nobleness of a man, the gentleness and compassion of a father, and the sadness and loneliness that is unknown. Between reason and emotion, he is in a variety of difficulties. Not only his mother, but also his wife and love daughter are like him. He is trapped in the invisible wall and cannot escape.
said that the official in "Qingpingle" is a qualified guardian, but not a qualified son, husband, or even father. The prototype of Princess Zhao Huirou in the play is actually the eldest daughter of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who was named Princess Fukang in the second year of Baoyuan, and Princess of Yan Kingdom in the second year of Jiayou. She was a childMin and smart, extremely filial. When Renzong was ill, she not only served her father, she also spread barefoot and prayed to the sky, willing to suffer for her father, so that Renzong loved her more and more, so this scene was perfectly restored in the TV series. But the fate of this princess is really tragic. Her fate and ending are the same as those in the TV series.
Renzong was thinking that his biological mother Li Chen could not support her life, so he married the princess to his brother Li Wei. But the twisted melon is not sweet, the arranged marriage kills people, Li Wei Pulu and the princess can't work together. It has indeed happened in history that the princess night knocked on the palace gate and cried to Song Renzong, hoping to divorce her husband. The consequences of opening the palace gate at night were very serious, and the angry Sima Guang was about to smash the emperor to death.
In history, although Zhao Huiruan and Li Wei were divorced later, Song Renzong re-appointed Li Wei as a consort in his later years, but at this time his position as a consort was no longer valid. So did the princess really fall in love with a eunuch? There is no record in history. After three years in Shenzong, the princess died at the age of 33. I don’t know if it was a curse. None of Song Renzong’s sons survived. In desperation, he had to take his cousin’s son Zhao Shu from the palace to the queen. Raised and later established as heir, this was later Song Yingzong. In 1063, when Zhao Zhen was in the court to pay homage to hundreds of civil and military officials, he suddenly danced with his hands and salivated, and soon died. He was 54 years old and reigned for 42 years. He became the longest emperor in the Song Dynasty. Music ends here.
