In ancient history, men dominated and women were often overlooked, however, there were some striking exceptions. During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian ascended the throne as emperor, and as a woman, she not only created a legendary history, but also broke through the historical limitations at that time.
Historically, in addition to her, there have been many other women who have had this opportunity, and their backgrounds and experiences are different, and even there are significant differences in the final choice.
For example, when Song Zhenzong died, his son had not yet grown up, and there were still many difficulties in dealing with the affairs of the imperial court.
In the ancient harem, was the love of the royal family true? Liu E and Zhao Heng fell in love, Zhao Heng was still the prince at that time, and the difference between the identities of the two was huge.
Although Liu E was born in a family with a prominent family background, her father was the commander and assassin of the Song Taizu period, and her grandfather was a general during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, but in her generation, the family gradually declined, and her parents passed away one after another.
This experience has made Liu E a woman that everyone knows and knows, and she has won people's respect and love with her talent and hard work.
The love between Zhao Heng and Liu E went through many tests, and finally won the approval of Song Taizong. Before Zhao Heng ascended the throne, his love for Liu E was consistent, even in the face of everyone's opposition and Song Taizong's anger, he still insisted on protecting Liu E.
The emperor's order is like a mountain, Zhao Heng can only act cautiously, but the contact with Liu E has never been interrupted. Finally, Song Taizong accepted their love and ordered Zhao Heng to be engaged. Their story tells us that true love can overcome all difficulties and get the best ending.
Liu E is not only beautiful, but also has a very gentle personality, which will attract people's attention whenever and wherever she is. Even after Song Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, there were still people who missed her.
Liu E and Zhao Heng met at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but she was over thirty years old when she entered the palace. Youth has passed, and the traces of time are imprinted on her body, but Song Zhenzong's feelings for her have always been the same.
Liu E did not stop after being promoted to concubine, and after the death of Empress Guo, Song Zhenzong had the idea of making her the queen. Although there was opposition from the court, Liu E became a state in 1012.
Although Liu E came from a humble background, her learning ability is outstanding. She is witty, often accompanied by Song Zhenzong, and what she sees and hears broadens her vision. Song Zhenzong had no reservations about her, and the major affairs of the court and politics were also in her ears.
Reading more and listening to things makes Liu E erudite and talented, and her opinions have even influenced decision-making to a certain extent.
Liu E's historical status continues to improve, which is inseparable from the love and trust of Song Zhenzong. Even during Song Zhenzong's recuperation, Liu E was still active in the previous dynasty, working hard for the government's major affairs.
After the death of Song Zhenzong, Liu E continued to protect the world, fighting wits and courage with powerful ministers, and various contradictions continued to intensify and intensify.
There were many factors that contributed to Liu E's failure to ascend the throne, but in the final analysis, it was still a matter of power. Although she is in power, Liu E is still alone in the layout of her forces. If she is proclaimed emperor, the rebellion of the ministers will be more intense, and it may even be short-lived.
Liu E has already grasped the power, and it seems that there is not much difference whether he has the throne or not, and it is difficult to determine whether the affection between Liu E and Song Zhenzong is deep or not.
The evaluation of the emperor in history can be described as mixed, but the evaluation of Song Zhenzong has been highly consistent. Song Zhenzong pushed the Northern Song Dynasty to the peak with his unique concept of governing the country.
In the court, he had in-depth exchanges with civil and military officials to jointly promote the development of the country.
Song Zhenzong paid attention to the people's livelihood, put the people's affairs in an important position, and required all localities to govern fairly, neither harshly taxing nor neglecting the people. He is well aware of the importance of talents, recruits wise people, listens to suggestions from various parties, gets along with Liu E in a fair and selfless manner, never shies away, and comprehensively considers and adopts suggestions.
During the reign of Song Zhenzong, agriculture and other industries flourished. In particular, the progress of agricultural tools and iron-smelting technology greatly increased the area of land that farmers could cultivate, which brought more harvests, which played an important role in promoting the development of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although there were some drawbacks during the governance period, Song Zhenzong, as a "Ming Jun", his outstanding performance in the court and his favor for Liu E were very obvious.
In general, Song Zhenzong's governance achievements are remarkable and worthy of praise.
Liu E's evaluation in ancient history is highly controversial. During her reign in power, her wisdom and talent enabled her to attract and exploit meritocracy, purging dissenting ministers one by one.
Therefore, from the perspective of maintaining the throne, Liu E is meritorious to the royal family with the surname "Zhao". However, when the young Song Renzong succeeded to the throne, he tended to listen to the malicious remarks of others, causing him to begin to distance himself from Liu E.
With her strict maternal love, Liu E was uncompromising on Song Renzong's education and management, and he was severely reprimanded for his mistakes"Etiquette"The restraints are all for his growth.
However, if anyone sowed discord, Song Renzong could easily lose his way and then alienate Liu E.
From this, it can be known that after the tempering of ups and downs, Liu E is no longer the lonely and helpless woman, and has surpassed people's imagination in handling affairs and government affairs.
Liu E held great power in the Song Dynasty, but in the end she did not ascend to the throne, did not sit on the dragon chair, and chose a different path.
Liu E, a legendary figure in ancient history, is recognized as a powerful female representative in the world, and her deeds are astounding.
