Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-30

In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, a woman was reduced to becoming a maidservant who married with her, although she was humble, she was extremely talented, humble and virtuous. No one could have imagined that it was this person who would eventually become a generation of queens. As a queen or queen mother, she is a noble existence, and some people only know that they are authoritarian and arbitrary, cultivating their own power, and ignoring national affairs.

There are many such people in history, but Song Fujin is an exception. She is talented and insightful, and has her own opinions on family affairs and state affairs, and what is even more rare is that she has not become greedy for profit, and is dedicated to assisting Li Sheng in governing the country.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and uprisings broke out everywhere. Many heroes appeared in the southern region, one of whom was named Yang Xingmi, who eventually laid the foundation of the Wu state, but he fell ill and died in the second year of Tianyu (905). At that time, on the issue of heirs, Xu Wen and Yang Wu became enemies, and later Yang Wu was killed, and the position of Lord Wu was inherited by Yang Longyan. But he is cowardly by nature and is controlled by Xu Wen.

Xu Wen's son Zhixun and Zhiqing are tyrannical and unpopular, but he is an adopted son Xu Zhihe, who is quite accomplished and considers the people. When Xu Wen was in power, he was the assassin of Shengzhou. He also has ambitions, but as an adopted son, he is not eligible to inherit paternal authority. Xu Zhixun was originally guarding in Guangling, he did not respect Lord Wu, Zhu Jin and others were very dissatisfied, and in the battle between the two, Xu Zhixun was killed.

Lord Wu did not dare to take power, Zhu Jin committed suicide in anger, and Xu Zhihe heard that there was a change, and immediately arrived in Guangling to quell the chaos. Originally, Xu Wen was reluctant to hand over the world to an adopted son, and planned to get rid of him, but he didn't expect that before the matter was done, he died. Xu Zhixun was still in Jinling at the time, but he couldn't fight Xu Zhihe, and was later placed under house arrest.

Although Lord Wu was timid, Xu Zhihe did not immediately ascend the throne, but gradually controlled the government and the opposition as an auxiliary state, and rectified the world until the time was ripe. In the third year of Wu Tianzuo (937), he received Zen in Jinling and founded the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Southern Tang Dynasty. He claimed to be a descendant of Li Tang and changed his name to Li Sheng, and his son also changed his name to Li Jing.

Li Sheng has experienced war and hardship since he was a child, and has deep feelings for the people, after he ascended the throne, he calmed the war and let the people breathe and live a stable life. In order to reduce the burden on the people, he cut expenses and focused on civil production. Some torture had been abolished and new laws had been enacted.

Rectify the upper and lower levels, and sweep away the wind of corruption and tyranny. After Li Sheng's reforms, the Southern Tang Dynasty became the most developed country in the south in terms of economy, military and politics. However, he later also hoped to live forever and liked pills, but later died of poisoning.

Xu Zhihe was adopted by Xu Wen at a young age, but his situation has not been good, and he has suffered bitterness along the way. When he grew up, he married the daughter of Wang Rong, the assassin of Shengzhou, who was gentle and sensible. But she died soon after, and Xu Zhihe married the Song family again, with the small character Fujin. She was originally Song Tao's daughter and was taken away by Wang Rong in the war. grew up with the Wang family since childhood, and later became the Wang family's concubine.

They married into the Xu family together, and Fujin was courteous, modest, and filial to his in-laws. She gave birth to three sons for Xu Zhihe. In 936 AD, she became the princess of Qi. After Xu Zhihe founded the Southern Tang Dynasty, Fujin also became a generation of queens. She is also one of the few women who can go from marriage to official, and then to a generation of queens.

Song Fujin was born in a famous family, she already has the demeanor of everyone, and she has a stable personality, not only good at managing family affairs, but Xu Zhihe often comes to discuss with her when he encounters major events, which shows that her opinions are very valuable.

When Xu Zhihe was taking pills, due to the effect of the medicine, his temperament changed greatly, and he often got angry for no reason, but fortunately, there was a Song Fujin by his side who often persuaded him, and most of the major affairs of the court were handled by Fujin. Her political talent is no less impressive. After Xu Zhihe died of pill poisoning, his son Li Jing ascended the throne.

Li Jing was not good at state affairs, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty proposed that they hope to let Fujin, who has the ability to govern the country, serve as the empress dowager and listen to the government in the court. But Fujin thought about it again and again, and considering the disadvantages of interfering in politics, she still refused. Since then, she has retired in the deep palace and has not interfered in government politics until her death.

If the highest power in the world is the emperor, then the closest to the imperial power is the queen or the queen mother, sometimes a word can change the emperor's mind, and even affect the decision of national affairs. It is a very important position, and it is difficult not to be in this position without being powered. After all, with a wave of your hand, you can get everything.

The reason why Song Fujin is admired is not only her ability, but also her quality. It's a pity that the Southern Tang Dynasty couldn't get rid of the road of decline after all, except for the prosperity and prosperity of Li Sheng at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Southern Tang Dynasty declined all the way, so that it perished.
