Song Zhen and Song Qi, a pair of brothers, their ancestors can be traced back to Song Weizi, the founding monarch of the Song State of the Zhou Dynasty. Gaozu Song Shen was a Zhongcheng of the imperial history of the Tang Dynasty, who was demoted to Yongqiu County, Kaifeng Prefecture (now Minquan County, Henan Province) for offending his superiors. The mother's dream of pearls and anthologies indicates that the fate of this family is destined to be extraordinary.
Before Song Zhen was born, his mother dreamed that a man in red gave him a glowing bead, indicating that his birth would bring warmth and light. And when she was pregnant with her youngest son, Song Qi, her mother once again dreamed that a man in red sent an anthology, this man in red is said to be the god of luck in the imperial examination, and those who dream of him can usually be named on the gold list. This series of mysterious omens seems to have laid the foundation for the brothers' future glory.
However, even in ancient societies, success required personal effort and family support. Although the Song family is not wealthy, the loving family instills self-confidence in the children. However, the dilemma they face is also difficult. With their mother dying early and their father leaving, the brothers had to follow their stepmother back to Anlu to complete their studies at their grandfather's house. On the day of the winter solstice, in the face of the situation of no surplus food, Song Zhen took off the silver from the scabbard of the ancestral long sword and used it to entertain his friends. This scene shows their open-mindedness and fearless mind.
In 1024 AD, Song Zhen and Song Qi, with cultural self-confidence, decided to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination and change the trajectory of their lives. In this scientific examination, the brothers became the focus of hot searches with their outstanding performance. However, the political situation at the time changed their fortunes dramatically.
In the first imperial examination after Song Renzong ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Liu reversed the names of Song Zhen and Song Qi in order to maintain family harmony, making Song Zhen the champion, but Song Qi slipped to sixth place. This twist and turn became the origin of the legend of the "double champion". Empress Dowager Liu's manipulation made the name of the champion difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, and became the key to the Song brothers' career in their lives.
Song Zhen was the first judge of Dali, sentenced to Xiangzhou, called the History Museum, and successively served as the judge of the three divisions and household departments, and the living notes of the initiates. Empress Dowager Liu took a fancy to his elegant and steady and serious work, and promoted him to the crown prince Zhongyun, and then moved to Zuo Zhengyan. Song Zhen's career has been hanging all the way, but if it weren't for the help of Empress Dowager Liu, maybe his career would not have been so smooth.
And Song Qi, although he started a little slowly, became popular all over the world with the reputation of "Red Apricot Shangshu". He knows the way of life, and unlike his brother, he knows how to enjoy a good life in a good time. This pair of "Ersong" brothers have achieved their own brilliant lives.
The whole story is full of drama and absurdity, like a legend under the roulette wheel of the imperial examination. In this roulette, fate is fickle, and winning the top prize may only be a momentary brilliance, but in its invisible hands, everything can be reversed. The story of the Song brothers teaches us that success requires personal effort, but it also requires the favor of fate.
Perhaps, it is this twisted and bizarre fate that makes the story of Song Zhen and Song Qi a good story in the annals of history. In their lives, they have experienced honors and setbacks, but in the end, they have all achieved outstanding achievements in their fields. This story makes people think more deeply about the complexity and absurdity of the imperial examination system.
