Chapter 106 Three Wastes and Three Resurrections
"For this reason, Zhang Dun and Liu Jieyu asked Song to ask Zhezong to abolish Empress Zhezong. Zhezong thought about the love of marriage, and thought that Empress Meng was always gentle and virtuous, so he couldn't bear to abolish her."

"At this time, someone turned up the matter of "heaven, earth and sun" at that time, saying that if the empress is not abolished, the emperor will be in trouble, and Song Zhezong agreed to abolish the empress."

"Song Zhezong ordered Empress Meng to become a female Taoist priest, and placed her in the Yaohua Palace where the deposed concubines lived as monks, and named her Huayang Leader."

Qianlong: Song Zhezong doesn't want to?It is impossible for a queen of the first generation to become a monk directly because of this matter!
Queen Ma: At that time, Queen Meng was deposed by Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty on the grounds that she was "contempting evil words and coercing Taoists". She left the Yaohua Palace and became a female Taoist priest.

Zhu Yuanzhang: This matter is indeed far from being as simple as Miss Zhang thought. Although it was said that the derogation was just an edict and it took only a quarter of an hour, the reason was because Empress Meng was involved in heretical and shady matters, but in fact Song Zhezong had already Abolition of Meng's heart.

Xiaozhuang: There is also a reason for what Miss Zhang said. After the princess born to Queen Meng fell ill, the Meng family repeatedly involved forbidden laws such as talismans and Taoism. This was the reason for the abolition of the queen. In the hands of Song Zhezong, and with Song Zhezong's favorite Liu Jieyu adding fuel to the fire, Song Zhezong originally didn't like the queen, so it became a certainty that she would be deposed.

Princess Guantao: This palace understands that Empress Meng was disliked by the royal family in the first place. This is because her virtuousness and kindness allowed her to keep her position as the head of the harem, and made the emperor want to marry her. If you touch her, you can't stop the villain from causing trouble, but this Liu Jieyu made this plan, and finally became the queen?
Heshen: This Song Zhezong was considered a good emperor in the Song Dynasty, and he still had some brains. Afterwards, he felt that something was wrong. After reviewing the matter again, he also realized that he was too hasty, but he could not renege on his promise as an emperor. It’s all ruined, what can I do?Perhaps for this reason, after Empress Meng was deposed, even though Zhang Dun and others repeatedly proposed to make Liu Jieyu his queen, Zhezong did not agree. He only made her a virtuous concubine, and the deposed queen came to an end.

Princess Changle: What happened next? Did you become the queen?

"Let me answer the rest of the questions. After about three years of vacancy in the position of Empress Zhezong, Concubine Liu finally came to an end. She gave birth to a son for Zhezong. Only then did Zhezong agree to make her his queen." , but the good times didn't last long, the prince died only two months after he was born, and even Song Zhezong passed away not long after, and he was directly named the queen mother."

Princess Guantao: This is really nothing!
Princess Changle: So unlucky!

"When Song Zhezong died, he left no heirs. As soon as he died, the establishment of a new emperor was also put on the agenda. With the intervention of the Queen Mother, Shenzong's No. 11 son Duan Wang Zhao Ji became emperor, that is, the emperor of Song Dynasty. Huizong, the captured emperor mentioned earlier."

"At this time, four years after being abolished, the Meng family ushered in a turn of events. After Song Huizong came to the throne, he was grateful to the Queen Mother. He not only invited her to listen to the government behind the curtain, but also welcomed back the Queen Mother Huayang, who had always been loved by Zhezong. In the palace, she was re-established as Empress Yuanyou, ranking above Empress Liu. Although Empress Liu was angry, she had no choice but to let the Empress Dowager decide. Song Huizong took her into the palace and restored her position."

"Because she was conferred the Queen Mother in the Yuanyou period, she was called "Queen Yuanyou". Long, Empress Meng, the woman who was favored by Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang in the past, naturally returned to the palace, but it is a pity that Empress Meng was abolished after only one year this time. .”

Princess Changle: Why was it abolished again?
Xiaozhuang: Because Queen Meng's backing is gone, that Concubine Liu can't sit still.

"It's nothing wrong. Empress Dowager Xiang passed away before she was welcomed back to the palace for a few days. Empress Dowager Liu colluded with Cai Jing and others trusted by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and deposed Empress Meng. Weiyuan informed Immortal Master Miaojing" and asked her to move to Yaohua Palace again. Queen Meng was deposed for the second time!"

"Not long after Empress Meng returned to Yaohua Palace, Yaohua Palace caught fire, so she had to move to Yanning Palace. She didn't want Yanning Palace to catch fire again, so she had to move to her brother Meng Zhonghou's house. However, she was blessed by misfortune and escaped. A catastrophe."

"The shame of Jingkang, as I said before, in the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people captured Bianjing, and Emperor Daozong and Emperor Yuansheng were taken into captivity. It was Zhao Gou, the king of Kang at that time, who survived the disaster because he was far away in Jeju, and the other was Empress Meng who was left behind because she was deposed, and lived in Xiangguo Temple for 20 years."

"After the Jin people contributed to Bianjing, they left a puppet dynasty here. They supported Zhang Bangchang in establishing Da Chu and ruled on their behalf."

"Although Zhang Bangchang ascended the throne, his name was not justified, and at that time, there was a fish in the Zhao Dynasty, King Kang, Zhao Gouyuan, who was far away in Jeju."

So in order to strengthen the rationality of his own rule, Zhang Bangchang, who knew he was alone and weak, accepted Lu Haowen's suggestion and welcomed Empress Meng to live in Yanfu Palace. She was honored as "Empress Dowager Song" and accepted the worship of all officials. "

"Later, the ministers Hu Shunzhi and Ma Shen wrote that political affairs should be decided by the order of the queen mother. Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to restore the honorary title of Queen Meng—Queen Yuanyou, and asked her to listen to the government behind the curtain and accept the worship of all officials."

"Although the Meng family was in the puppet regime, she did not give in. She secretly found out where Zhao Gou was, and sent people there secretly to let Zhao Gou proclaim himself emperor in the south as soon as possible to appease the people. Zhao Gou, who was in the south at the time, After receiving this news, with the support of a group of old ministers, a coronation ceremony was held immediately, and then the dynasty known as the Southern Song Dynasty was created."

"During the period, due to some reasons, the Meng family still listened to the government behind the curtain, but after Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, the Meng family withdrew the curtain and no longer listened to the government, and was respected as the Queen Mother of Yuanyou."

"When the country is in trouble, she stands up. A woman with a weak body is so responsible, and all the princes who have taken power and caused the corruption of the country should feel ashamed."

"When the survival of the country was at stake, Empress Meng showed fearless courage and great resourcefulness. Although she was only a weak little girl, she continued the history of the Song Dynasty by virtue of her identity and strength. Her life Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Blessings are disasters and misfortunes are blessings. This is exactly what the Empress Dowager Xuan Rengao said: "This man is a virtuous man, but he cherishes blessings and has a weak ear!"If something happens in the country in the future, this person must take care of it.
