Under the unfavorable situation of childlessness, she sat idly by for 55 years, not only being favored by her husband Song Gaozong for half a century, but also being favored and respected by the emperors of Song Xiaozong, Song Guangzong and Song Ningzong, and finally passing away safely at the age of 83. She is the queen of Song Gaozong, Wu Yu, known as the virtuous and kind queen in history.
At the beginning of diving, pets will meet during the day;
According to historical records, Wu Yu was a Bianjing native in the Northern Song Dynasty. But her family background is not clearly recorded in history. However, judging from the fact that she entered the seclusion in Kang Wang, Zhao Gou at the age of 14, we can conclude that Wu Yu is not of noble birth. Although her background was not brilliant enough, Wu Yu soon won the favor of Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, with her intelligence and beauty.
On the first day of May in the second year of Jingkang, Jin Bing captured Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and carried the Emperor Qin to the north. The Northern Song Dynasty officially declared its demise. After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, the King of Kang, ascended the throne in Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) and announced the reconstruction of the Song Dynasty. This is the Southern Song Dynasty in history.
After Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor, Wu Yu was still a concubine without a title, but Wu Yu didn't care. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the foundation was unstable. Not only did the nomads from the south harass from time to time, but even mutinies often occurred within the Southern Song Dynasty. In this regard, Song Gaozong often fidgeted and saw her husband Zhao Gou anxious all day. Wu Yu, who studied martial arts in primary school, wore military uniforms all day and followed Song Gaozong Zhao Gou. Song Gaozong was deeply moved.
After learning that Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor and rebuilt the Song Dynasty, the Jin people marched south in an attempt to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. At this point, Zhao Gou didn't have many available troops, so he had to flee to the south to avoid the sharp edge of 8 jin j.. In order to avoid the pursuit of 8 jin j, the party even fled to the sea by boat. When the ship was sailing on the sea, many fish suddenly jumped out of the water and onto the boat that Zhao Gou was on. Everyone is confused. He said, "This is the auspicious sign of Zhou Baiyu!" Song Gaozong was overjoyed and immediately named Wu Yufeng as the wife of Yixian. Shortly after they returned to Vietnam, Wu Yu was promoted to talent by Song Gaozong.
Wu Yu likes reading, and his calligraphy is highly cultivated. When he was in Song Gaozong, he often wrote articles for Emperor Gaozong, while Wu Yu imitated the style of Emperor Gaozong, which ministers could not tell. Therefore, it was more believed by Emperor Gaozong. Soon Wu Yu was promoted to an elegant musical instrument by Emperor Gaozong, and soon she was promoted to the status of imperial concubine, second only to the queen.
After he ascended the throne, the mother instrument world:
Song Gaozong Zhao Gou had two queens in her life. His original wife, Xing, was captured in the disaster of Jingkang, and later "went north" with Hui Di and Qin Emperor. After Song Gaozong acceded to the throne, she became a distant queen. In the 12th year of Shaoxing, in the year of 1 142, the biological mother, Queen Wei, and the coffin of Queen Xing were sent back to the Song Dynasty by the Jin people. At this time, it has been 16 years since the canonization of Xing. Gave up the position of queen 16 years, waiting for Xing's return. What he didn't want to wait for was a cold corpse. Song Gaozong was not only heartbroken, but also very guilty about his bad wife, so she was buried as the Queen of the Constitution Day.
After Xing's death, he also intended to take what was already an imperial concubine as his heir. This was after ministers also played a request to establish an emperor as soon as possible, and Empress Wei, who returned from China, also liked being wise and intelligent, so she urged to be a queen, and the emperor's decision to see his mother was just what he wanted, so Wu Guifei was officially established as the queen in Shaoxing in the thirteenth year.
For four emperors, fifty-five years:
After Wu Huanghou entered the palace, he often helped Song Gaozong deal with state affairs. Wu Huanghou, who is familiar with classical literature, can always give Song Gaozong some advice. Knowing that Wu has no ambition to go into politics, I am very satisfied with it. Because Song Gaozong succeeded to the throne for a long time, the biggest problem that bothered him was not the constant harassment of the Jin people in the south, but the election of the Chu army
At this time, his only son had died, and he himself lost his fertility because he was frightened in the Miao and Liu rebellion. In this case, it is impossible to pass the throne to his son, but Song Gaozong is unwilling to pass the throne to the imperial clan children, so he is always very sad. Wu is a clever man, even knowing her husband's secret room, so he advised her husband to choose two clever imperial children and raise them in the palace. If the emperor is born in the future, they will be sent out of the palace. Song Gaozong was persuaded and finally chose Zhao Bocong and Zhao Yun to be raised in the palace.
Wu regards these two imperial children as godsons. For these two adopted sons, Wu not only regarded them as his own, but also showed no partiality and no distinction between relatives and friends.
Wu thinks Zhao Bocong is studious, smart and studious, and has a benevolent demeanor. Therefore, he persuaded Gao Zongli to make him Chu Jun, which impressed Song Gaozong deeply. Ye Zhao was made a prince because of his deep favor, and changed his name to. This Zhao Shen is the second emperor and the most successful emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty-Song Xiaozong.
In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty, in the year of 1 162, Song Gaozong, who was in office for thirty-two years, got tired of state affairs, so he abdicated to his adopted son Zhao Shen and became the emperor's father, so Wu Yu became the queen of the emperor's father.
After Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, many policies in the Southern Song Dynasty were reformed. Whenever there is an unconventional ruling on major issues, the opinions of the emperor's father and his queen Wu are always sought. At this time, Wu can always give many reasonable suggestions to the young, and he is full of gratitude and respect for the first mother.
In the 14th year of Xichun, 1 187, Song Gaozong, aged 8 1, died in Ru Shou Palace in Lin 'an Palace. At this time, it has been 60 years since Wu married, and the queen has accompanied him for 60 years. * * * has already finished the golden wedding, not to mention in the 300-year history of the Song Dynasty.
Shortly after Song Gaozong's death, Song Xiaozong ceded the throne to his son Song Guangzong. After Guangzong ascended the throne, he often asked his grandmother about political affairs and the appointment and dismissal of ministers.
In the fifth year of Shaoxi in Song Guangzong, 1 194, Emperor Song Xiaozong died of illness, and he was unable to preside over Xiaozong's funeral because of his serious illness. Therefore, the funeral of Xiao Zong was presided over by Empress Wu. After dealing with Xiaozong's funeral, the ministers obtained Wu's consent and made Jia Wang emperor. At the beginning of Ning Zongchu, the ministers invited Empress Wu to listen to politics, but Wu refused on the grounds that Ning Zongchu was an adult, so he respected this great-grandmother.
In the third year of Qingyuan in Song Ningzong, Wu Yu, the empress dowager of six emperors, Hui Zong, Qinzong, Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong, died at the age of 83, ending her legendary life. After Wu Yu's death, Song Ting chose posthumous title, the sage and empress, to be buried with Song Gaozong in Yongsi Mausoleum.
Wu Yu's life is legendary. She was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, when her country was about to die. After marrying Song Gaozong, she helped each other through the most difficult and dangerous period in the Southern Song Dynasty. This kind of suffering and * * * feeling is enough to make Song Gaozong grateful to her for a lifetime.
Wu Yu assisted four emperors, Emperor Gaozong, Emperor Xiaozong, Emperor Guangzong and Emperor Ningzong, all her life, but she was never autocratic. This woman who is infinitely close to the highest power always stands behind the power. This is even more valuable among the queens of past dynasties.
