In the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1129), Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong fled abroad, worried that he could not control state affairs, and it happened that his sister Roufu Emperor Ji came from Yuezhou and brought information from the court.
Due to the innovation of Song Huizong and Cai Jing, the princess was called "Emperor Ji" to show royal dignity. The arrival of Emperor Roufu brought new hope and courage to Zhao Gou, allowing him to see the possibility of recovering the country.
Although Jin Bing's action of "searching the mountains and inspecting the sea to catch Zhao Gou" frightened Zhao Gou, he still persevered and continued to fight for the country.
Princess Fukang, the daughter of Song Gaozong, became the princess of the Jin Dynasty due to the Jingkang Change. Fourteen years later, she was exiled back to the Song Dynasty along with many royal women, becoming the hope of Song Gaozong's biological mother, Concubine Wei Xian.
However, Song Gaozong was very worried about this, and he sent a general named Han Shiqing and an old palace maid, Wu Xin'er, to investigate the identity of this woman who called herself "Emperor Roufu".
After Han Shiqing and Wu Xin'er investigated, they found that this woman claimed to be the twentieth daughter of Song Huizong, Emperor Roufu, but in her words, deeds and physical characteristics, she was different from the real Emperor Roufu.
Especially under Wu Xin'er's careful observation, she found that this woman's feet were not the "three-inch golden lotus" that a harem nobleman should have. Wu Xin'er was puzzled by this and asked the woman questions.
The woman replied that this was due to the fact that the Jin soldiers had been driving them as cattle and horses for a long time, making them walk barefoot, and after walking tens of thousands of miles, their feet naturally became bigger. This answer seemed reasonable, but Wu Xin'er was still skeptical.
Song Gaozong was very worried about the identity of this woman who claimed to be Emperor Roufu, and he decided not to see her for the time being, but sent Feng Yi and Wu Xin'er to spy on the truth.
However, the reality is sometimes such a coincidence, when Feng Yi saw this woman again, he instantly burst into tears, because the woman was somewhat similar to the Roufu Emperor Ji he was once familiar with.
The woman also showed her wit and composure, not only saying Song Gaozong's name, but also mentioning what happened to Concubine Wei Xian in the northern kingdom and what they had agreed on.
This made Feng Yi and Wu Xin'er even more suspicious of her identity. However, after carefully observing the woman's feet, Wu Xin'er found that her feet were not "three-inch golden lotus", which made her even more suspicious of the woman's identity.
She questioned the woman, but the woman's answer seemed reasonable. Although the woman's answer seemed reasonable, Wu Xin'er was still skeptical about her identity.
She decided to investigate the woman again to determine her identity.
Jingkang's shame is heartbreaking. And the identity of Emperor Roufu affects the bloodline of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a trivial matter to recognize the wrong person, and it is a big crime to confuse the royal bloodline. In the face of Song Gaozong's trust and the crime of bullying the king, Wu Xin'er could only pin her hopes on Feng Yi and others.
As an old man who has served the palace for many years, Feng Yi is under great pressure. He was the only one who had met the real Emperor Roufu a few times, and he promised that if she didn't have an accident in the future, no one would be able to question her identity.
But he also understands that resembling is not the same as that if she recognizes the wrong person, then she may not escape death. This is undoubtedly a blow to Song Gaozong, who has been looking forward to family reunion.
At the same time, Song Gaozong may also settle accounts with himself because of this matter. Feng Yi believed that Song Gaozong was very smart, and he shouldn't even be unable to recognize his sister.
So he immediately took action, declared that this was the real Roufu Emperor, and escorted her to meet Song Gaozong in Lin'an.
After four years of Jianyan, after multiple assessments, Emperor Roufu finally entered the sight of Song Gaozong. As soon as she saw Song Gaozong, she directly called him by his nickname, and this action immediately dispelled Song Gaozong's suspicions, and he was sure that this was his sister.
Song Gaozong felt pity for this lost and regained sister, and issued an edict to crown her as the eldest princess of Fuguo, hoping that she would live happily under his protection. Soon, he personally arranged for her marriage, promised her to Gao Shirong, and rewarded her with a dowry.
However, the newly recruited princess of the Fuguo family has always been suspicious of the officials of the imperial court, because with only her feet, it is difficult for the pampered princess to escape a thousand miles from the hands of the Jin soldiers.
In addition, Qin Hui, as a "loyal minister" of the Great Song Dynasty that year, was included in the list of prisoners by the Jin Army before becoming a traitor in the future, and went north with Song Huizong and others.
The three-year captivity career made him fundamentally change his thinking, and he even stretched out a "unwarranted" butcher's knife to Yue Fei and other main combatants.
As for how he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, the historiography has not yet reached a conclusion, but more people believe that he was a spy sent by the Jin State with the intention of disrupting the military deployment of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Regardless of the truth, Yue Fei, a famous anti-Jin general, died because of him, and the letter of persuasion he wrote to the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers during the Battle of Chuzhou is an undeniable fact.
Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was only 39 years old when he was killed. Qin Hui, an important minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, once had a friendship with Yue Fei, but later due to political differences, the relationship between the two became strained.
After Yue Fei's death, Qin Hui returned to the Southern Song Dynasty court and proposed a policy of "division between the north and the south" in an attempt to reach a peace agreement with the Jin state. However, this policy was considered the best and was opposed by many.
In the end, due to Qin Hui's conspiracy, the Southern Song court signed an unequal treaty with the Jin State, resulting in the Southern Song Dynasty losing half of the country. This treaty also plunged the Southern Song court into a long period of war.
1.After seeing Song Gaozong, Empress Dowager Wei revealed a shocking secret to him: the woman who had always been recognized as Emperor Roufu was actually a fake.
Empress Dowager Wei said that after arriving in Shangjing, Emperor Roufu was sent to Huanyi Yuan, and then was given to Wanyan Zongxian, the king of Gaitian, and then married Xu Huan, the son of the imperial doctor Xu Zhongli, who died of illness in Wuguo City last year.
2.Song Gaozong was very surprised when he heard this, and he felt that this was very different from the version of the story he had heard before. Although Feng Yi and Wu Xin'er were their own people, they had no reason to lie to him, and Emperor Roufu had behaved very well on previous occasions, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the fake.
3.Empress Dowager Wei insisted that the true face of Emperor Roufu must be exposed and an explanation to the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Song Gaozong felt that his head was big, he didn't want to have extraneous branches at this juncture, so he chose to believe in his mother.
4.Although the whole world knew that Song Gaozong had recognized the story of Emperor Roufu, now he said that Emperor Roufu was fake, which made Song Gaozong feel very embarrassed.
He thinks that admitting mistakes is a small matter, but dignity is a big matter, especially at this time, he doesn't want to make extraneous branches.
5.In any case, Song Gaozong finally chose to believe in his mother, because he felt that his mother's evidence was very conclusive, and he did not want the whole world to see his ignorance and mediocrity.
According to historical records, Emperor Roufu was originally the eldest princess of Fuguo in the Song Dynasty, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, her identity was suddenly revealed to be a fake. This incident has aroused widespread social concern, and people have speculated about the truth.
In the end, after the investigation of Dali Temple, the fake Roufu Emperor Li Jingshan was exposed and sentenced to death. And Feng Yi, Wu Xin'er and others, who were responsible for distinguishing between serious and fake, were also sentenced to exile.
The incident shocked the court at the time and cast doubt on the authenticity of the royal family. Although the verdict of Dali Temple seems to have been finalized, rumors about the matter still circulate in the wild history of the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to the records of the wild history, the reason why Empress Dowager Wei decided that the eldest princess of Fuguo was a fake Roufu Emperor was because she was worried that the other party would tell her old stories when she was in the Jin Kingdom.
These old things include Empress Dowager Wei and Emperor Roufu being captured and sent to the Huanyi Courtyard of the Jin Kingdom, where they became the playthings of the nobles.
Empress Dowager Wei even gave birth to a child under the coercion of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. In order to prevent these scandals from being exposed, Empress Dowager Wei insisted that the eldest princess of Fuguo was a fake. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
