Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

There was the Song Dynasty, since Taizong Zhao Kuangyi's Northern Expedition was blocked, the Song Dynasty was like a long-standing persimmon, being pinched and pinched.

It's not that Empress Dowager Liu is ignorant of the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, but when she thinks of all kinds of factors combined, it gives her a headache.

The feat of the Han Dynasty conquering the Xiongnu in the north, and Cao Cao's dominance of regaining the northern land in the Three Kingdoms.Even historical tyrants like Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered the northern minorities even if they disagreed with each other.

Needless to say, the great Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, the grand occasion of all nations coming to court, gave the flourishing Tang Dynasty shrouded in the haze of history an extra glory.

There was an interval of 53 years between Tang and Song, which was called the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history.

In 938 AD, in order to gain the support of the Khitan people, Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty gave Beijing, Tianjin, plus Shanxi and northern Hebei along the Great Wall, and gave them all to the Liao Kingdom.

Since then, the land of the Central Plains lost its last barrier, and the people of the Central Plains had to block the horseshoes of the nomadic cavalry with their flesh and blood.

It was not until more than 400 years later that the Ming army led by the famous general Xu Da took back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, for more than 160 years, generations of emperors tried to recover this, but they failed.

Without the Northern Song Dynasty without the Yanyun sixteen prefectures as a barrier, there would be no natural barrier against nomadic cavalry.

And since Zhao Kuangyin released his military power after drinking wine, the Song Dynasty strictly controlled the generals, ruled the country with literature, and shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Moreover, the number of forbidden troops around the emperor continued to expand, resulting in bloated forbidden troops and low combat effectiveness.

When fighting against the enemy, they used the formations and tactics that had been rehearsed in advance. The generals rarely made mistakes, and they would even be dismissed on the spot by the eunuchs and civil servants in charge of supervising the army.

The generals will be controlled from the center, and the generals of the army have no real command power.In order to evade responsibility, some generals even used formations as shields, resulting in a funny scene of repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

Although the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous period of feudal society, it was also a weak dynasty.

Although Empress Dowager Liu was very eager to be listed on the platform, she was really disturbed after she actually made the list, because she didn't know how future generations would evaluate her when they saw her again.

"Since I'm already on the list, I hope the platform can give me rewards and let me change the weakness of Song Dynasty."

The video played slowly, but the background music was not like Daqin's roughness, nor Dahan's peace.

But a touch of sadness.

"Liu E, Empress Dowager Liu of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

"I have the idea of ​​ZTE, but I don't have the decisiveness of ZTE!"

"During the period of Liu E's dictatorship, the world was peaceful in the Song Dynasty, the market was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment!"

"The first queen mother in the Northern Song Dynasty to listen to politics behind a curtain."

"The first woman who wore a dragon robe to worship her ancestors but did not proclaim herself emperor."

"During the period of Liu E's dictatorship, he was sympathetic to his subordinates and appointed them to their talents. Although he was decisive in killing and attacking, he had wisdom in his chest."

"She has Lu Wu's talent, but she doesn't have Lu Wu's heart."

"Although she is a generational talent, she acts with tenderness."

"Abolish the Court of Etiquette, save the court's expenses, and set up remonstrance to grasp the situation."

"She attaches great importance to agriculture, builds water conservancy, remediates floods, and reduces taxes."

"Reform officials, realize local commerce, make bold innovations, and issue banknotes in the Chuanxia area."

"Renew the imperial examination, promote the development of education, restore the department system, and recruit talents."

"Peaceful diplomacy, without humbleness or utterance, retains the dignity that is not much in the Song Dynasty!"

"However, in his bones, he still values ​​civility over military affairs, and Yu Zu dare not change the system, so that the soldiers dare not use troops."

"There is a talent for creating the world, but there is no merit for creating the world."

"Zhang Xianming Suzhong lacks a bit of Zetian's domineering spirit, and lacks the decisiveness and boldness that should be there."

"Although it is after ZTE, it is really difficult to let go and help Da Song to a higher level!"

"Lack of domineering? Missing courage and determination?" Empress Dowager Liu's face paled slightly.Is this how the platform evaluates itself?
"Domineering? Is it as domineering as Emperor Zetian of the Tang Dynasty?" She really wanted to take the way of domineering, and she had thought about this when she put on the dragon robe to participate in the ancestor worship.

But the ancestral system is like a mountain, pressing on top of her head, making her dare not raise her head.

As for Renzong?Maybe it was because he owed him too much, so he wanted to leave this son a stable dynasty?

Her introduction continued in the video.

"Liu E, who lived together in Bianjing City, her ex-husband was a silversmith."

"Liu E is good at singing and dancing, and was favored by Zhao Heng, who was still the King of Xiang, and then brought into the palace, where she was hidden in the golden house."

"Taizong didn't like it, so he was hidden by Liu Heng in the house of his confidants for 15 years."

"It took 15 years to complete the transformation by familiarizing with the scriptures. In order to stabilize the foundation, the maid Li Shi gave birth to Zhenzong's son and changed her life to Zhao Zhen, who will be the future Emperor Renzong."

"In his later years, he began to participate in Zhenzong's political affairs. When Renzong succeeded to the throne, he listened to the government behind the curtain, deposed Kou Zhun, and killed Ding Wei."

"In the past 15 years, the Tianshu Movement, which wasted money and people, was ended, and the Great Song party struggle that shook the world was ended."

"Treat people with peace of mind. After the death of Renzong's biological mother, he tried his best to bury her with the queen's standard."

"She successfully allowed the Song Dynasty to complete the power vacuum period that was common when the young master of the stable country came to the throne."

"After Renzong became an adult, he returned to the government in time, and achieved the reputation of Jiliu bravely retiring."

At this point in the video, a small clip was suddenly inserted on the platform, which was written by later generations, with Bao Zheng as the main line, the civet cat exchanged for the prince.

"Zhao Zhen thought that Empress Dowager Liu's refusal to admit her relatives was a sign of cold-bloodedness. For countless nights, she cried secretly and dared not speak up."

"I heard that my biological mother had a bad life in the harem, and she often blamed herself, and there was a big gap between her and Liu E."

In fact, the folk saying that the civet cat is exchanged for the prince is really a joke in the market and it is not advisable.

Renzong treated Empress Dowager Liu just like his own mother, treating her with the courtesy of a son and minister.

"The civet cat for the crown prince?" Liu E frowned with embroidered brows, and her faintly angry face suddenly turned like frost.

"It's simply unreasonable. Zhenzong favored Concubine Li, and it was the approval of the Ai family."

"Concubine Li has no backing, even if the mother is precious by the son, can she be able to deter the officials and protect the safety of my Song Dynasty?"

"Since Renzong succeeded to the throne, although the Ai family did not allow him to see Concubine Li. Although he had selfish intentions, it was also for the sake of the stability of the Song Dynasty."

"This empress listens to the government behind the curtain. Although it is in name, it is to give Zhao Zhen a name. The son of the empress Zhenzong, even if the officials know that he is not my own son, so what can I do? As long as this empress stands here, I can guarantee that the Song Dynasty The smooth transition of power!"

When Liu E and Empress Dowager Liu saw the scene in the video where Zhao Zhen often became more sentimental because he missed his mother, she couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Everyone sees me as being too passionate about power, even cold-blooded."

"The court struggle is not only a power struggle, but also a power struggle behind the scenes. Without the backing of me, the queen, how can Zhen'er become the emperor?"

The video is still playing slowly.

Under the night, an infant baby was carried out by Concubine Li Chen.Liu E, who was dressed in a palace uniform, looked at Concubine Li Chen who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Have you made up your mind? If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"If it can guarantee that Zhen'er will become the emperor, there is no need for a concubine."

Liu E nodded: "Since you are willing, I will definitely not treat Zhen'er badly."

"For Zhen'er's future, you should spend your time in the harem well. As for the members of the Li family, the Ai family will not treat them badly, and they must be among the ministers of the court."
