The Song Dynasty was a very happy nation in history, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the emperors did not exhaust military force, and many historians liked the Song Dynasty the most. Even many people feel that if they want to travel back, then the most living dynasty is the Song Dynasty.
The civilian culture of the Song Dynasty was the most developed, paying more attention to the ideas of ordinary people, ordinary people also had their own cultural life, and many literary works and calligraphy and painting works were also very concerned about the lives of ordinary people. For example, the famous Qingming River Map is a picture scroll depicting the lives of ordinary people, and it can be said that few famous paintings depicting folk life have been passed down in other dynasties.

This is the charm of the Song Dynasty, not superstitious about authority, not afraid of authority, dare to make its own voice. Many Song words are also just as much for the sound of silence, in fact, it is the performance of the people's good life, because the life is rich and no longer need to run for life, so there can be such works. Most of the emperors were also very talented and loved art and music.
This also shows that the emperor's government affairs are not so busy, and they can lie on the foundation that their ancestors have saved for them and enjoy it. It is good to be a shoucheng emperor without pioneering, which is the view of many historians.
But some historians feel that the Song Dynasty was not a good dynasty because its initiative in the whole regime was not very high. The countries surrounding other dynasties were all worshippers to advise, but in the Song Dynasty and even other neighboring countries were affiliated with us. It is in this political and economic culture that the experiences of the emperors of the Song Dynasty are also very interesting, and we will look at one of them.
The fourth emperor of the founding of the Song Dynasty lived a very smooth life, there was no military force, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Renzong of Song reigned for forty-two years, during which more than ten years were presided over by Liu Shi, because when Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, he was only thirteen years old and was unable to handle imperial politics. It was only after Liu's death that Emperor Renzong really took over power. During his reign, Emperor Renzong was evaluated as a benevolent by later generations, also because Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen was a generous person, able to be strict with himself and diligent and thrifty.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > second, the throne is reversed</h1>
Song Renzong was the sixth son of the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong, and his original name was Zhao Zhen, and he could become emperor with an element of luck, or that it was fate that Song Zhenzong's heirs could inherit the throne. Song Zhenzong did not have many heirs in his lifetime, and after the death of his second son Zhao You, he felt a lot of pressure, when Song Zhenzong was only in his thirties.
However, after the death of Emperor Zhenzong of Song's son Zhao You, the ministers continued to advise the emperor to make him a reserve. However, at that time, Song Zhenzong had no sons, so the will of the ministers was already very obvious. It is to let him set up a child who is not his own bloodline.
Song Zhenzong insisted for a while, but he could not resist the constant persuasion of the ministers, and could only choose one of the sons of his younger brother Zhao Yuanfen the Prince of Yong to raise in the palace, which was Zhao Yun, the third son of the Yong King. However, Song Zhenzong also made other plans, and he decided to block the mouths of the ministers by bringing Zhao Yun into the palace, while on the one hand, he took advantage of his youth and worked harder, hoping to let his children succeed to the throne.
In this way, Zhao Yun's father, King Yong, did not expect such a good thing, that he could actually produce an emperor in his own home, and that this was actually an opportunity from heaven. In this way, Zhao Yun began to accompany the run for more than ten years.
Before Zhao Yun was sent to the palace, his biological father repeatedly told him to be cautious and cautious in words and deeds in the palace. He also told him to be humble and to abide by the rules of the palace. Don't get your hands on the ducks that end up flying away. Zhao Yun also obeyed his father's teachings all his life, and was very humble in the palace, acting cautiously and being kind to others.
However, even if Zhao Yun entered the palace, Song Zhenzong still did not give up hope, and kept dragging him out of the way, just to give birth to a son himself and let his own bloodline inherit the unification. During this period, Song Zhenzong also made a lot of efforts. However, the death of Song Zhenzong's three sons one after another made him completely lose hope, and he couldn't help but sigh: Is it not decided by heaven in this way, dooming my Song Zhenzong's bloodline to not continue. For a while, I was also very depressed.
Since Emperor Zhenzong of Song had never had a son, everyone in the palace, including the ministers, regarded Zhao Yun as the future emperor. Although he had not yet been established as a prince, everyone's attitude and courtesy toward him had long been the same as that of the prince.
A few years had passed, Song Zhenzong was already approaching the age of forty, and he could not drag on without Li Chu, just when Song Zhenzong was desperate, he welcomed his son Song Renzong. At this time, Zhao Yun was about to be made crown prince. However, Song Renzong was born, and of course it was no longer possible for Zhao Yun to succeed to the throne, so although Zhao Yun had been in the palace for many years, he also lost the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong naturally became the heir to the throne. Not long after Zhao Zhen was born, Emperor Zhenzong of Song sent someone to send Zhao Yun back to the Yong King's Mansion and crown him as the Assassin of Weizhou. This time is also an unusual grant, which shows that Zhenzong feels guilty about Zhao Yun, including his brother's family.
After Zhao Yun returned to the Yongwang Mansion, he never showed any desire for the throne again, and spent his whole life in love with the mountains and rivers, playing in the mountains and rivers, and giving birth to more than ten children. I have to say that maybe this is where Zhao Yun is smart, if he still shows that he wants the throne, then he may usher in the disaster of killing. Zhao Yun no longer thought about things that did not belong to him, but it was this duty that allowed him to live to the end.
Zhao Zhen was soon crowned crown prince, and at the age of thirteen, Emperor Zhenzong of Song died. Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, that is, Emperor Renzong of Song. However, the young Zhao Zhen was not able to handle the government of the dynasty, and liu shi was put under the control of the government, until more than ten years later, he took back his own power.
The culture of the Song Zhenzong period also developed very well, and many celebrities in history were all in the Song Zhenzong period. It can be said that the times create heroes, when there are more wars and chaos in an era, there will be many famous military experts and military generals, and if an era is a peaceful period, there will be great cultural development. For example: Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, etc. were all in the Song Renzong period.

However, Song Renzong was so good, the heavens were not very fair to him, and he and his father had the same problem that they were not rich in heirs and faced difficulties in not being able to establish a reserve. Two of Emperor Renzong's sons died prematurely. Song Renzong also felt helpless, and finally had no choice but to appoint Zhao Yun's thirteenth son as crown prince. We can't help but sigh that fate has tricked people, this time there is no miracle like the last time. After Zhao Yun's son entered the palace, Song Renzong really gave birth to another son.
However, this time, Song Renzong was not as lucky as Zhenzong, and this son also died early. Eventually Zhao Yun's thirteenth son succeeded to the throne. In this way, the throne returned to Zhao Yun's family, which was also a kind of loss and recovery.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > Summary:</h1>
Things are always so impermanent, Zhao Yun thought he could get the throne, but at the critical moment he lost it. Emperor Renzong thought that he could keep the throne in his home like his father, but he did not keep it.
It was true that after Zhao Yun was not hopeful, the throne returned to his son. It can be said that it is a creation of people. However, even this did not affect that Song Renzong was a good emperor, and the Song Dynasty did develop very well in his hands. Therefore, the later generations gave him a title of renzi.
