Song Gaozong s mother married and had children in the Jin Kingdom, is it true or false, rumors or tr

According to the history of the Song Dynasty, the Jingkang Rebellion was the most painful page in the history of the Song Dynasty, surpassing the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty was powerless in the face of the Mongol iron cavalry, and although the clans and ministers of the Song Dynasty were treated reasonably after the destruction of the country, they seemed to be lucky compared to the miserable situation of the royal family, concubines, ministers, and palace maids after the Jingkang Rebellion.

The two emperors of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, died in a foreign land, and the rest were mercilessly bullied.

However, it is gratifying that despite the mercilessness of fate for these people, Song Gaozong's mother, Wei Shi, was finally able to return to her homeland after fifteen years of living in the Jin Kingdom because of the Shaoxing agreement reached by Song and Jin.

The old lady's luck did not stop at her son's ascension to the throne, and when she returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, she became the noble queen mother and enjoyed a rich life for 18 years.

However, there are rumors about her that she married Wanyan Sairi, the king of the Kingdom of Jin, and had two children, but these claims are not confirmed in the official history.

The History of Jin does not contain any record of Empress Dowager Wei's life in the Jin Kingdom, while the History of the Song Dynasty only mentions that she was assigned to work in a laundry house, participated in the sacrifice ceremony, and accepted a humiliating "meat favor".

After living in the laundry for eight years, she was arranged to go to the Five Kingdoms City to reunite with Song Huizong.

However, some notes of the Song people, which are regarded as wild histories, such as "Nandu Lu", "Stealing Anger", and "Nanyan Jiwen", etc., point out that Empress Dowager Wei was once married to Wanyan Saili, the king of Gaitian, and had two children.

Although these claims are unconfirmed, in any case, Empress Dowager Wei's life experience is still full of legends.

It should be noted that in order to strengthen the logic, these wild histories provide two illustrations. First of all, before Empress Dowager Wei returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Roufu had fled the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although Song Gaozong had heard of this sister, he had never seen her, and even if he did, he couldn't remember what she looked like.

However, Emperor Roufu was able to describe in detail what happened in the palace back then, and the old people in the palace confirmed that she was telling the truth.

Therefore, the Joho Emperor was properly placed. However, after Empress Dowager Wei returned, she immediately told Song Gaozong that Emperor Roufu had died in the northern kingdom and that this woman must be a fake.

As a result, Emperor Roufu was killed, and many people believe that she was married to Wanyan Saili with Empress Dowager Wei, so she was exterminated.

The age of Empress Dowager Wei is controversial, and the official history believes that she is 48 years old and may be menopausal and unable to have children; The wild history records that she is 38 years old and still has the ability to have children.

Some people believe that this was modified by Song Huizong to imply his mother's innocence. This statement is reflected in the "Moaning Language" written by the captives of the Song Dynasty.

However, in the absence of conclusive evidence, we can only analyze through common sense, and it is still a mystery whether Empress Dowager Wei married and had children in the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Gou's year of birth is impeccable, and there is absolutely no possibility of change. He was born in the first year of Daguan, that is, in 1107 AD.

According to the records of the wild history, the Empress Dowager Wei gave birth to Zhao Gou at the age of 17, and according to the official history, the Empress Dowager Wei gave birth to Zhao Gou at the age of 27.

At that time, Webster was recommended to Duanwang Zhao Ji very early, but she has not been favored. When Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne as emperor, her position in the palace was insignificant and almost obscure.

Later, Qiao, a maid who had a close relationship with Wei, became a concubine because she was favored, and she recommended Weishi to Song Huizong, and Weishi had the opportunity to be pampered.

Coincidentally, Webster seized one of the few opportunities and successfully conceived Zhao Gou.

Qiao Guifei's promotion from an ordinary courtier to a noble concubine requires time accumulation, so it is impossible for Empress Dowager Wei to get pregnant and give birth to a child at the age of 17.

Wei was not favored before giving birth to a child, and although he gave birth to Zhao Gou, he was only named Wanrong and belonged to a low-level concubine.

Because of Zhao Gou's envoy Jin Ying, Huiqin Erzong was deeply moved, and Wei was named "Concubine of Longde Palace". This shows that Merriam-Webster was not an attractive woman in her youth.

After Wei was in the northern country, even according to Ye Shi, he was 38 years old, and he was too old to be favored by the King of Gaitian, Wanyan Saili.

Even if he really marries Wan Yan Saili, he may not be favored, let alone give birth to two children.

The young Roufu Emperor Ji married Wanyan Saili, but did not have children, which also proves from the side that it is unlikely that Webster will have children. Therefore, the fact that Song Gaozong's mother gave birth to a child in the north lacks credible basis.

The "History of the Song Dynasty" was edited by the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and they must have found the absurdity of the wild history by consulting a large number of historical materials, so they did not adopt this statement.
