Queen Xia

Introduction to "Queen Xia" Xia Yungu, a girl from Shanye Village who was born at the foot of Mingyue Mountain, was selected into the palace at the age of sixteen due to her natural intelligence and chance. She gradually moved from a maid beside the Queen Mother to the center of power, and finally married Zhao Min. After she ascended the throne as Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, she was canonized as Queen Cheng Gongxia. This peasant girl who had experienced poverty and often ate vegetarian meals with her father did not forget her roots after ascending to the throne, and always assisted the emperor with a simple heart. She was well aware of Yue Fei's ambition to "serve the country with loyalty" and the pain of being wronged. She actively encouraged and supported Song Xiaozong to vindicate Yue Fei and became a key force in promoting this historical event. At the same time, she joined hands with her brother Xia Zhizhong to deeply participate in the governance of the court: resolutely rectifying corrupt officials to eliminate officialdom, vigorously building water conservancy projects to benefit people's livelihood, actively setting up a medicine market to benefit people's livelihood and well-being, and using a series of pragmatic measures to help Song Xiaozong strive to govern and rejuvenate the country, writing a legendary life from a village girl to a virtuous queen.
