Duke Wen of Song (宋文公), courtesy name Bao (or Bao Ge), son of Duke Wen of Song and younger brother of Duke Zhao of Song, was a generation of monarchs of the State of Song during the Spring and Autumn Period. When he was not yet the monarch, people called him Bao Gongzi, or Bao Ge Gongzi.
His personality is still quite good, and in the eyes of the Song people, he is at least a sage. When he was still Gongzi Bao, he once contributed his grain during the famine in the Song Dynasty. There is no one who treats talented people without service, and treats the people with courtesy, and does not be proud of being noble. Therefore, his noble character was already recognized by many Chinese people at that time, which also played a great role in his later reign.
However, the State of Song in the Spring and Autumn Period was a system of imperial succession, and No matter how much Duke Wen of Song said it, he was only born as a son, and it was unexpected that he could become the monarch of the State of Song. According to historical records, Gongzi Bao was a beautiful and glamorous man, and his beauty attracted the attention of Wang Ji, the wife of Duke Xiang of Song, who was bent on associating with Gongzi Bao, but how could Gongzi Bao associate with Wang Ji, who was more than twenty years older than himself and was related to his ancestors in terms of generations? Gongzi Bao refused Wang Ji's rude request. Wang Ji did not give up because of this, and she did not hate Gongzi Bao because of this, but also helped Gongzi Bao to give charity to the people of the country, and the position of The prince Bao in the hearts of the people became stronger.
Because of Song Zhaogong's tyranny and lack of morality, the people of the country did not attach themselves to him. On the contrary, the people of the country were very satisfied with Gongzi Bao's behavior, and Song Zhaogong gradually lost the hearts of the people. On a trip to hunt for Song Zhaogong, Wang Ji joined forces with Gongzi Bao to kill Song Zhaogong. After that, Gongzi Bao became the monarch of the Song Dynasty.
In the historical records, there are only a few words to describe the appearance of Song Wengong, that is, "beautiful and beautiful". What allows the recorder to describe the man's appearance as "beautiful and beautiful" is basically a country.comprehension.
From the picture of Song Wengong's appearance restoration, I saw a gentle and elegant gentleman, delicate skin, curved eyebrows, high nose bridge, cherry mouth and a pair of soul-catching Dan phoenix eyes, so that no matter how people looked, they felt that this person was like a figure who came out of the picture scroll and did not really exist in history.
However, this is a real person, and his grandmother also looks at him because of his appearance, which shows that his charm is very great. In order to please him, his grandmother Wang Ji eventually killed Song Zhaogong and established Song Wengong as the monarch of the Song state.
Song Wengong had the support of Wang Ji, and on the road of politics, Wang Ji found that Song Wengong liked to give alms to the people with grain, so she helped Song Wengong to give alms to the people, and through Wang Ji's relationship, he also gained the trust of the general. After he became the king of the Song state, the King of Jin heard that the Song state was in rebellion, so he ordered people to attack the Song state. With the support of Wang Ji, Duke Wen of Song ordered Hua Yuan to negotiate and bribed the Jin army, and finally the Jin army recognized the status of Duke Wen of Song and withdrew its troops from the State of Song.
Although Song Wengong became the king of the Song state with the support of Wang Ji, after this, he could not get rid of Wang Ji's control, and from the time he succeeded to the throne to his death, his fancy years were squandered by Wang Ji, so it seems that he is also a very regrettable role.
