Song (Empress)


Song (Chinese: 宋 皇后, 178) - the first wife of Emperor Chin Ling. Curriculum vitae

The coming Empress Song came from an outstanding but not very influential clan. Her father, Song Feng, was the grandson of Song's concubine Song, the wife of Emperor Zhang, who gave birth to his son, Prince Liu Qing. During the first years of the Ling emperor, Song Feng served as commandant in the capital city of Luoyang. His sister was Liu Kui's wife, Prince Bohai, the brother of Emperor Huana.

In 170, Song was chosen as the Caesar's concubine, and a year later, although she was not her beloved concubine, she was appointed Empress.

From the beginning of her marriage to Emperor Song she was not loved by her husband. A few concubines wanted to replace it and tried to cast suspicion on the practice of witchcraft and necromancers from the life span of the emperor. The allegations were soon dismissed, but suspicions remained. In 172, there was an event that shed light on her later life - a powerful eunuch Wang Fu falsely accused the prince of Liu Kui of treason and forced him to commit suicide, as did all his relatives and friends. Wang Fu and his followers feared the rising power of the Empress Song and that he would vengeance on them for his aunt's death. The Eunuchs supported the concubine and once again accused the empress of cultivating the black magic and poisoning her husband. In 178, the emperor Ling believed in gossip and took his wife's title of empress and ordered her to be murdered. Song was transferred to a state of common denial and committed suicide. Bibliography
