Speaking of warm men in history, we know a lot. However, there was such a warm male emperor in ancient China, during his reign, the culture flourished greatly, and the works of literati accounted for half of the ancient chinese that china's junior high schools and high schools had to memorize, indirectly making outstanding contributions to the schoolwork burden of Chinese students thousands of years later.
Tang and Song Dynasties
Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Rui, Wang Anshi... Only six of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" were active during his reign, the world's first paper money was born during his reign, three of the four major inventions began to be applied during his reign, and humanities, economy and science and technology flourished during his reign.
He is the man standing behind the literary hero Zhao Zhen - Song Renzong Zhao Zhen.
Emperor Renzong of Song, zhao zhen, whose original name was Zhao Hui, was the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, who ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and died at the age of fifty-four, reigning for 42 years, making him the longest reigning emperor of the Song Dynasty.
He is the sixth son of Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, and his mother concubine is Concubine Li Chen, and when he sees this, I believe that many people have remembered who this emperor really is, he is the prince who was exchanged for tanuki cat in the classic masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and the TV series "Bao Qingtian" in "Tanuki Cat for Prince".
Although the story of "Tanuki for Prince" is only folklore, Song Renzong is indeed a teenager with a story.
Song Renzong
His birth mother was originally just a nameless palace maid Li Shi, because Song Zhenzong intended to make his favorite concubine Liu E an empress, and suffered that Liu E did not give birth to an heir, so he borrowed his belly to give birth to a child, let the palace daughter Li Shi conceive a dragon seed, and then give liu E to nurture and inherit the throne, which is also another kind of "tanuki cat for prince".
In ancient China, the emperor stood at the peak of power, held the power of life and death, and a person who was unhappy could land on the head of the subject, so the courtiers had to be extra careful in their speech and behavior.
But the courtiers who lived in the era of Emperor Renzong were definitely the happiest, their bosses were loving and humane, and they would think in a different position, warm enough to make the courtiers somewhat indulgent and uninhibited.
The "History of Song" records such a story, the iron-faced selfless Bao Zheng often spoke bluntly when he served as the inspector of the imperial history. Often talking about it, the spit star flew straight and sprayed Song Renzong's face. But Song Renzong was not angry, and while wiping the spit star clean with his sleeve, he continued to listen to Bao Zheng's opinion.
After a while, Bao Zheng came to report on the work again. Probably because in the summer, Lord Bao did not take a bath frequently, so when he entered the palace, he dangled in front of Song Renzong with a stinky sweat, and the eunuchs and palace ladies around him smelled his stinky sweat. Song Renzong was also smoked, but Song Renzong was still not angry, and listened to Bao Zheng's report on the work without changing his face.
Wrap up
Because of the importance attached to talents, during the reign of Song Renzong, there were many talents in the court.
The literati were light on each other, and these courtiers were mainly divided into two factions, chattering at each other in the court, and Song Renzong was not angry, and they each expressed their own opinions, and who had the right to listen to whom. Therefore, during the reign of Song Renzong, the partisan struggle was also benign, supervising each other and making progress with each other, and one side took a step back when the other side gained power, rather than having to kill the other.
Today, Song Renzong is absolutely an out-and-out "pet courtier demon", treating his courtiers warmly and closely.
Not only did he treat his courtiers like warm men, Song Renzong was also very kind to the palace people.
Once he was eating, and while eating, he accidentally ate a grain of sand from the rice and almost broke his teeth.
The palace maid was frightened, and this was placed on the emperor, and the light punishment was heavy, and the heavy was from the imperial dining room to her, and a bunch of people had to lose their heads.
Just when she was panicking, Song Renzong instead comforted her: "You don't want to go out, I don't want you to be punished for this." ”
The palace maid was so moved at that time that her eyes were full of caution.
Another time, he walked in the imperial garden, and after a few laps, he felt thirsty, and as the emperor of the stars and the moon, there was a need that of course needed to be met immediately. But the eunuch who was pouring water next to him was not there, and the others did not have a long eye, and no one took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea to drink.
Renzong, who was so thirsty that he could not do it, stepped up his pace and returned to the palace to quickly ask the palace maid to pour water for himself to drink.
The palace maid curiously asked Song Renzong why he was thirsty like this? Song Renzong laughed and said that because the little eunuch who poured the water did not know where to go, but at that time he could not ask for the exit. Because once asked, after he left, this eunuch would definitely be punished. He didn't want the palace people to be served, so he preferred to go to the palace to drink water.
Song Renzong put himself in anyone's shoes like this!
Of course, while warming others, Song Renzong also practiced economy and strictly demanded himself.
Once, when he was late for fresh crabs in the palace, Emperor Renzong asked the minister of purchase how much money he had bought them. The minister probably wanted the emperor to praise him for doing things, and gushed about how rare and expensive the crab was. When Song Renzong heard this, he did not look happy at all, dropped the chopsticks and did not eat them, and the rare and severe education of the courtiers said: If there is money to be donated, it is better to spend it on the people, take it from the people, use it for the people, and it is not allowed to send such extravagant things in the future.
Song Renzong's warm heart spread all over the world, so his popularity was also good enough to explode. The History of the Song Dynasty records that when he died, "the capital city went on strike and cried for several days, although beggars and children burned paper money before they cried in Ouchi, and the people of Yanjing cried near and far."
This is Jack Sue, who is afraid to write novels. After his death, the whole world was sad, from courtiers to beggar children, all burning paper and suffering. When the news reached the Liao State, even the Emperor of the Liao State, Yelü Hongji, cried loudly, and it is said that a crown tomb was erected in the Liao State for his subjects to hang.

Behind these stories, we really see an emperor with benevolence and love.
He reigned for 42 years, worked diligently, treated others with generosity, and ruled the country with benevolence. Such a good emperor is not as widely known as Tang Taizong Li Shimin mainly because he lacks domineering and skill, in other words, the current popular word, that is, business ability is not good. Among the emperors of successive dynasties, his merits were mediocre and lackluster.
But as the Song historian Yu Yunguo commented on Song Renzong: "He was not a hard-working and promising hero, and even among the kings of the successive dynasties, he was not a well-known Ming Emperor." His personality has problems such as weak wandering, soft ears, and a considerable interest in harem women. But his greatest virtue is that he is tolerant and benevolent, can tolerate all kinds of fierce criticism, even if he is criticizing his private life, he never retaliates with anger when he hears it. ”
We have a lot of generous and warm-hearted people every day, and we have heard a lot about them. But it is unique to put it on a ruler who stands at the top of power, which is where the personality charm of Song Renzong lies!
