Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was a very benevolent emperor, both to treat the ministers and the palace attendants are very kind, but his private life has a lot of helplessness and involuntariness, although the emperor is mostly three palaces and six courtyards, but Song Renzong's two empresses are forced to stand, his favorite woman is Zhang Guifei, but until Zhang Guifei's death, Song Renzong can posthumously crown his favorite woman as Empress Wencheng.
The first Empress Guo had a pungent personality and behaved obediently, which was selected by Empress Liu for Song Renzong, and although the second Empress Cao was born noble and dignified, she had no feelings for Emperor Renzong, and she had no children or favors in her life, and the reason why she was made empress was recommended by the courtiers, so although Song Renzong was the emperor of a country, she was emotionally involuntary, until he met Zhang Guifei, he was really moved.
For Song Renzong, the empress is the world, and Zhang Guifei is his own, so he is very fond of Zhang Guifei, and even let her food, clothing, and housing line to usurp the rank of Empress Cao, and Zhang Guifei has been promoted several levels since she was favored to become a noble concubine, Renzong is even more favored by her, and in three years he gave birth to three princesses for the emperor, which shows how favored Zhang Guifei is, as long as it is what she likes, Renzong will definitely find ways to satisfy her.
Because Empress Cao had no children and no favors, so Zhang Guifei also coveted the throne, but Empress Cao had the support of her mother and courtiers, so Song Renzong could not be deposed, but her status and treatment in the palace were indeed higher than the empress, but unfortunately the pampered Zhang Guifei died of illness at the age of thirty, and her departure made Renzong extremely sad, despite the objections of the ministers to posthumously crown her as Empress Wencheng, for Song Renzong, Zhang Guifei was the empress he chose for himself.
