The maid "wets the bed", how did she become the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty?

The maid "wets the bed", how did she become the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty?

The Northern Song Dynasty had a well-known chancellor, Su Song, who was an outstanding politician and astronomer who invented the "Water Transport Instrument Elephant Platform" and published a book called "Tujing Materia Medica", which was hailed as the greatest naturalist and scientist. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, he was promoted to "Prince Bao" and given the title of "Duke of Zhao County".

In his later years, Su Song resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown and settled in Danyang. He had only one wife in his life. According to the custom, a girl is hired in the bedroom as a maid, nothing more than to take care of the sleeping bed, warm quilts, etc.; the first maid, Merriam-Webster, actually has a strong physiological problem, and when she warms the bed for the owner, she unconsciously wets the bed - this is in a state of sanity. For some reason, Su Song actually did not care and recommended her to enter Beijing. "When I first took the song bed, I drowned all night. Song Yue: "This is very expensive, not this can live, it is advisable to bring it to Beijing." ’”

As a retired high-ranking official of the dynasty, why did Su Song send the bed-warming maid to Beijing, and why did she think that she would be rich and noble in the future, after several twists and turns, and finally survived to the empress's share, and there was almost no circumstantial evidence.

At that time, Song Zhezong selected maids, and the emperor would distribute the selected maids to the kings. Because of Su Song's recommendation, the bed-wetting Wei Shi was smoothly divided into the mansion of "Duan Wang" Zhao Yao. If you are favored once by the powerful Duan Wang, you will ascend to heaven one step at a time. Of course, this kind of god-given opportunity can only wait slowly.

After the death of Emperor Zhezong of Song, Zhao Tuo was made emperor, the so-called "Eight Emperors" Huizong. At that time, around Zhao Tuo, the Zheng clan was favored, and Wei Shi became a maid at the feet of the Zheng clan. Interestingly, she actually became acquainted with Qiao Shi, who was also a maid. The two are very temperamental, and they love each other as sisters.

Coincidentally, Qiao Shi actually got a noble concubine. Merriam-Webster then seized the opportunity. After being "lucky", she successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a baby son, Zhao Shuo, and soon, Webster was promoted to become a "concubine". Unfortunately, this promotion is only superficial, and Merriam-Webster has not received greater benefits; nevertheless, she still has a deep relationship with Joe.

After the "Jingkang Revolution", more than 3,000 people were captured in the imperial palace in Bieliang City, including Zhao Tuo and Wei Shi. In addition, the national treasury was also swept away, and at that time, Zhao Zhuo was not in the capital and just happened to have escaped a disaster. Unexpectedly, Webster was spent 16 years in Jin, first as a laundry coolie, and also became a plaything for senior generals in Jinguo. Webster suffered countless insults and enslavements, and at this time, Su Song's words of praise had long since vanished.

Thanks to Heaven, she left her own son, Zhao Zhao. Zhao Shuo then became the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was not belligerent, but the lord of peace, and signed the Shaoxing Agreement with the Jin State, which repatriated Wei Shi and returned to the Song with the coffins of Emperor Huizong and Empress Zheng. Webster was also upgraded and became the righteous "Empress Wei". When Jianyan changed the Yuan, Empress Wei was the first to be honored, and at that time, she was honored as "Empress Xuanhe". After returning to the Song Dynasty, Wei Shi and Zhao Zhuo were very excited, mother and son met, "extremely happy and weeping" "The military guards cheered, and the sound shook the world..."

In order to cover up the humiliating experience in the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Zhuo did a lot of cover-ups and forgeries, for example, the most tragic was Gaozong's half-sister, Princess Ruofu, who was falsely accused of adultery and was executed with a heavy staff. Wei Yuan' brother, Wei Yuan, was also questioned and punished for "rebellion", and was once driven out of the capital and sent to a remote place. As for Qiao Shi, who was also with the Golden Kingdom at that time, he had already been thrown out of the cloud nine by Webster.

In her later years, Webster's heart was not at peace, and she always wore a Taoist costume and recited scriptures all day. In the twenty-ninth year of Shaoxing, Empress Wei died at the age of 80. As for Su Song's prophecy and Qiao Shi's expectations, I'm afraid, I can't even touch a shadow.
