As for Zhao Zhen's life experience, there is a saying that "a civet cat was replaced by a prince" in the classical masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" in the Qing Dynasty. It is believed that Liu and Li were pregnant at the same time in Zhenzong's later years. In order to become a queen, scheming Liu turned Li's son into a skinned civet cat and slandered Li Sheng as a monster. Zhenzong was furious and put Li in limbo and made Queen Wei Liu.
Later, people became angry, Liu Sheng's son died, and Li Sheng's baby boy was made a prince after many twists and turns and ascended the throne. This is Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. With the help of Bao Zheng, he learned the truth and recognized Li, who was blind. Liu, who had just been promoted to Queen Mother, hanged himself for fear of sin.
Since the Song Dynasty, the mystery of Zhao Zhen's biological mother has become increasingly vivid due to the interpretation of novels, plays and other artistic forms, attracting worldwide attention. On the question of whether it is the son of Liu after the true Sect or the biological son of Li Houfei, novels and operas almost agree that Li Houfei was born.
The fact is generally like this: Li was Liu's maid when he was a concubine, and was later accepted by Zhenzong, became a concubine and gave birth to a baby boy. True Sect, lost a few children, middle-aged children are naturally overjoyed. After the birth, with the acquiescence of the true Sect, they were raised by Liu and Yang, and neither of them gave birth. Li was awed by Liu's power and dared not have the slightest dissatisfaction.
In the first year of Ganxing (1022), when he ascended the throne at the age of 13, Liu listened to politics as the empress dowager, and the ruling and opposition parties were in power. Zhao Zhen grew up day by day in the shadow of her adoptive mother's power. When Empress Dowager Liu was alive, she never knew that Qin Shihuang's concubine Shun was his biological mother. After Liu died, Round Zhao Yuan, the prince of Yan, told Zhao Zhen the truth. Zhao Zhen was destroyed, ignored North Korea for several days, and wrote a letter of mourning and regret.
Honoring Chen Fei as the Empress Dowager and posthumous title as "Zhuang Yi". Zhao Zhen was deeply shocked when he learned about his life experience. Unable to restrain his inner sadness, he rushed to Hongfuyuan, where the coffin was laid, and sent troops to surround the residence of Queen Liu in order to find out the truth and deal with the matter. At this time, Zhao Zhen not only learned his life story, but also heard the news that his biological mother died unexpectedly. He must open the coffin and check the truth.
When the coffin was opened, I saw Li Fei, who was soaked in mercury and in good health, lying peacefully in the coffin, looking lifelike and wearing gorgeous clothes. Zhao Zhen sighed, "Can people believe what they say?" Immediately, he ordered the soldiers who surrounded Liu Zhai to be disbanded and burned incense in front of the portrait of Queen Liu, saying, "From today on, the life of the Great Queen is very clear." The implication is that Empress Dowager Liu is innocent. She didn't murder her mother.
Li was named Chen Fei when he died. After Li Chenfei's death, Empress Dowager Liu wanted to keep it a secret at first, and prepared to hold a funeral with general imperial etiquette. But Lv Yijian, the prime minister, urged Empress Dowager Liu, who was in power at that time, to give Li Fei a decent funeral if she wanted to save the Liu family. Empress dowager Liu realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to send out an obituary for Li Chenfei.
Although his birth mother was buried in a thick burial, it failed to dilute Zhao Zhen's infinite guilt for Li. He must let his mother enjoy the birthright that she never got before. After a heated debate, the imperial court finally established Guo Lie, the first empress of Zhenzong, as the ancestral hall, and built another Feng Temple to dedicate the memorial tablets of Liu and Li respectively.
Liu was named Empress Zhuang by posthumous title, and Li was named Empress Zhuang by posthumous title. The establishment of Fengci Temple finally established the status of Zhao Zhen's biological mother, which also meant that young Zhao Zhen was politically mature and gradually got rid of the shadow of Empress Dowager Liu.
