Text/No Counting Reading History
In the TV series "Qingping Le", Wang Kai played the male protagonist Song Renzong, and his handsome appearance and superb acting skills are a major guarantee of ratings. In the play, Song Renzong is diligent in political affairs, strict in self-discipline and lenient in treating others, and the image of self-denial and public service has made many people like. In addition to making many viewers scold the scumbag in the matter of pampering Zhang Guifei, what was the historical Song Renzong?
Song Renzong's name was Zhao Zhen ,, and he was the sixth son of Emperor Zhenzong of Song , and his biological mother , Li Shi . The Li clan was not favored, and Empress Liu, who was favored by Emperor Zhenzong, had no children under her knees, and Zhao Zhen was raised by Empress Liu after she was born, and was externally said to be born of Liu. After Emperor Zhenzong's death, Emperor Renzong ascended the throne at the age of twelve.
After Emperor Renzong became emperor, Empress Liu bowed to the government, and Empress Liu held the government for a long time and refused to relinquish power, and the two made a lot of disagreements. After Empress Liu's death, Emperor Renzong was shocked to hear about his birth mother Li Shi, and it was rumored that Li Shi was killed by Empress Liu, and Renzong also opened a coffin to perform an autopsy to return Empress Liu's innocence.
Song Renzong was generous by nature, gentle and kind to others, and moody and angry. Because junshi did not like luxury, he often let the palace people eat and wear everything from simplicity, and even mutton was reluctant to eat for several months in politics.
In the DPRK, he actively listened to the opinions of his ministers, and everything he did was discussed by the officials, and he was impeached as long as there was any impropriety. Some of the decisions he wanted to make in his heart, as long as he was dissented by the officials, Renzong would certainly be humble and obedient, and would rarely act arbitrarily. Therefore, the officials of the Song Dynasty were in charge of more, and even empress Cao in the harem was unanimously elected by the former imperial ministers, and Emperor Renzong listened to the opinions and married. The officials gave advice to Song Renzong, who never calculated and took revenge, and even the faceless Renzong who was intimidated would not retaliate.
Song Renzong actively carried out the reform of the law in response to the increasingly serious land annexation and the phenomenon of officials hoarding juqi, and appointed Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others to carry out the reform movement together, which was the New Deal of the Qingli Calendar. However, because the change of law violated the interests of many bureaucrats and was attacked by them, Fan Zhongyan and others were expelled from the court, and the change of law failed.
The early Song Dynasty under The reign of Emperor Renzong of Song was still relatively wealthy, and later due to redundant officials (that is, too many state officials), most of them were hereditary inheritance left by previous officials, resulting in more and more officials and fewer people doing things. Redundant soldiers (that is, too many soldiers), afraid of local uprisings, so adult men are recruited into the army, and the use of soldiers is increased. Redundant expenses (that is, too many state costs), redundant officials and redundant soldiers increase redundant expenses, resulting in no money in the national treasury, too high state taxes, and poor peasants.
In his later years, Song Renzong only had a few daughters to grow up, and he was anxious in his heart because he had no heirs. When Emperor Renzong was in his fifties, a concubine gave birth to a daughter for him, he was surprised at that time, and he still had great hopes for the birth of a son, so he spent more time in the harem, unfortunately, there was no son to inherit the throne until his death, and he could only inherit the throne by Zhao Zongshi.
Throughout The life of Song Renzong, he was worthy of this "benevolence" word, so he was praised by later generations, but there were many problems left over from history, resulting in his weakness.
