Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

[In February 1033, Liu E, who was ill, felt that his life would not be long, so he wore the emperor's crown to sacrifice to the Taimiao during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

As soon as this matter came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

Some mediocre officials once again flattered and invited favors, and persuaded Liu E to come to the court and call the system.

However, just after the cumbersome ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, Liu E announced to the officials at the Taimiao that he would completely return power to Zhao Zhen. 】

[In March, Liu E passed away. 】

The text inventory is over here, and the video inventory is next.

There is only one video.

But it is not about Liu E's life.Instead, it tells the story of what happened after Liu E's death.

On the second day of Liu E's death, the pro-government Zhao Zhen summoned the officials in the Hall of Emperor's Instrument.

Thinking of his mother's death, Zhao Zhen wailed loudly in the Golden Palace.

However, at this time, many ministers loudly dissuaded.

"Stay in the official house! The queen mother is not your biological mother. Your biological mother is Concubine Li Chen."

This news was no less than a bolt from the blue to Zhao Zhen.

He glared at these ministers who spoke up, and said loudly,

"Nonsense! Do you know that insulting the Queen Mother is a crime of disrespect?"

These ministers took out their memorials from their sleeves one after another and handed them to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen read more than a dozen memorials at a glance, all of which were written on the old stories of Liu E's birth of a child in the belly of Concubine Li Chen.

After reading these memorials, Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair with a complexion like earth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He felt resentment towards Liu E in his heart.

Because Liu E didn't tell him the secret until his death.

Before Concubine Li Chen was alive, he did not fulfill his filial piety for a day, and he never treated Concubine Li Chen as his mother.

At this time, King Yan walked out of the queue again, and said with certainty,
"Officials and ministers have heard people say that Concubine Li Chen did not die of illness, but was poisoned by Liu E."

"No reason!"

Zhao Zhen, who had always been moody and angry, finally became angry.

"If my mother is really poisoned, I will definitely avenge her."

But Zhao Zhen was born to be an emperor.He did not fully believe the words of these courtiers.

If these courtiers were really loyal ministers, they would have whispered the news about Concubine Li Chen to him a long time ago, and they would not wait until Liu E's death before they dared to attack and show their loyalty.

Zhao Zhen summoned Concubine Li Chen's elder brother, Li Yonghe, and went to Hongfuyuan with him, and then personally inspected Concubine Li Chen's coffin.

But it was found that Concubine Li Chen's bones showed no signs of poisoning, and she was also wearing a queen's dress.

Zhao Zhen cried bitterly on the coffin, deeply regretting that he had not been filial during his lifetime.

However, when he returned to the court, facing the group of ministers who wanted to abolish the stack of memorials for the funeral of Empress Dowager Liu E, Zhao Zhen said,

"You can't believe what people say! My biological mother Concubine Li Chen died of natural illness, and the eldest lady (Liu E) did not harm her at all."

In September 1033, Liu E and Concubine Li Chen were buried in Dingling at the same time.

Wearing a filial son's suit, Zhao Zhen personally performed the filial son ceremony for Liu E, and in spite of the objections of the officials, he personally pulled the rope of Liu E's coffin and sent it out of the Huangji Hall on foot.

Afterwards, he went to Hongfuyuan, where Concubine Li Chen was buried, to hold a funeral ceremony for his biological mother.

Zhao Zhen wasn't acting, he really didn't hate Liu E.

After Liu E's death, the Liu family was more respected than when Liu E was alive.

The video review ends here.

What follows is Li Hao's concluding comments.

"Liu E went from an orphan girl to the queen mother of a dynasty, and she has been in power for 11 years. It is a legend through the ages. Although Liu E's military and political achievements are not too outstanding, she abolished the Tianshu Movement and paid lightly to the people. The economy of the Huang Song Dynasty developed by leaps and bounds, and also laid a solid foundation for Renzong's rule.

But these are not the most important, nor are they the reasons why Liu E is on the list.

What is truly valuable about Liu E is that she has not been corrupted by power and turned into an inhuman devil.

Whether it's dealing with Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Li, or Zhao Zhen's adopted son, although she is not perfect, compared to other people of the same status, she can be said to be benevolent and righteous.

Throughout Liu E's life, she has never done anything crazy and vicious.

She has always been a human being.

This is the important reason why later generations commented that she "has the talent of Lu Wu, but not the evil of Lu Wu". "

Li Hao's review is over.

However, great changes have taken place in the Renzong plane.

It was 1030 at this time, Liu E was three years away from his death, Zhao Zhen was already 19 years old, and Concubine Li Chen was still alive.

Seeing Li Hao's evaluation of herself, and Zhao Zhen's various performances after her death, Liu E suddenly felt that it was meaningless to love power anymore.

Now that Zhao Zhen behaved impeccably towards herself after death, she no longer worried that she would be retaliated by Zhao Zhen if she abdicated prematurely.

Less than two days after the stocktaking was over, Liu E completely handed over the government affairs to Zhao Zhen, retreated behind the scenes, and lived a truly leisurely life.

Zhao Zhen also took Concubine Li Chen into the palace to show his filial piety.

Concubine Li Chen finally enjoyed family blessings for a few years, and she did not recognize her own son in her whole life, as the posterity lamented.

After Li Hao learned that Liu E had voluntarily abdicated, he also secretly admired the woman in Sichuan.

However, in the chat group "Counting Romantic People", Wu Zetian and Empress Lu had a quarrel with Li Hao.

Wu Zetian: "Dr. Tongtian, what's wrong, do you think I, the Empress, are a devil in your eyes?"

Lu Pheasant: "Yes, I, Lu Pheasant, have devoted my whole life to the founding of the Han Dynasty. What is it to be the Empress Dowager Regent for more than ten years? Besides, I have not done any evil.

Everyone I kill deserves to be killed, and everyone I kill deserves to be killed.

Dr. Tongtian, this is politics.Although you have great powers, you don't understand the dangers of politics. "

Wu Zetian: "Sister Lu is right. Politics is life and death. If we were as gentle as Liu E, we would have died long ago. After all, not all sons are good-natured people like Zhao Zhen."

Wang Cong'er: "Although Liu E is not as evil as Lu Wu, he is not as good as Lu Wu. Maybe this is the cruelty of political struggle. If you are not cruel enough, you will not be able to make great achievements."

Li Hao: "Shut up, Wang Cong'er. Empress Lu, Empress Wu, don't worry about me. The evaluation of Liu E is not my opinion, but the evaluation of historians. You have the ability to go to the historian to quarrel. "

"What's the noise?"

Empress Ma, who never spoke, smiled and said,

"Everyone has their own way of doing things. Anyway, Dr. Tongtian's evaluation can't affect the way you two do things. Your quarrel can't change the future generations' evaluation of Liu E. It's better to shut up."

At this time Liu E also joined in.

She @王钟儿: "Master Wang, tell me about the great achievements of Empress Lu and Wu Zetian?"

Wang Cong'er: "I can't say. But I just think that the two of them have more achievements than you."

Liu E: "..."

At this moment, Chen Shuzhen suddenly @李昊.

"Dr. Tongtian, the battle of Baizhangpu is about to start. You said you would help me."

Li Hao: "Don't worry, Mrs. Chen. I always keep my word."
