Zhao Heng (968-1022 CE), real name Zhao Dechang, changed his name to Zhao Yuanxiu and Zhao Yuankan, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, the third son of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, and his mother was Empress Li of Yuande. This is the Heavenly Son of Taiping and the Lord of Shoucheng, a song of persuasion, reciting through the ages, reading, never out of date!
The throne fell from heaven
Good luck, we usually like to say: pie in the sky, but for Zhao Heng, drop pie? Too LOW, the heavens directly dropped a throne, smashed his head, surprised or surprised, what happened? Listen to the little one slowly:
The three brothers of the Zhao clan, Zhao Kuangyin is the eldest, his two sons have stopped cooking, Zhao Guangyi is the second oldest, the third is Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Er, feels that instead of passing the throne to the third elder, it is better to let his own children become emperors, so he found a reason for rebellion and directly sent the old third to Fangzhou.
Zhao Tingmei, this unlucky child, with weak psychological endurance, could not accept the blow of losing the throne, and soon, vomiting blood stopped cooking.
Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi had 8 sons, and originally he was the favorite boss Zhao Yuanzuo.
Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest of the brothers, was intelligent since childhood, an all-rounder of literature and martial arts, and Was very similar to Zhao Guangyi, and was also the concubine of Emperor Taizong of the Deyuan Song Dynasty, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu all thought that he was a candidate for the crown prince, but this was also a wonderful person, and he thought that someone on the throne was more suitable than him.
Zhao Yuanzuo, seeing the tragic death of his idol uncle, and the cousins because of a throne, and successively tragically stopped cooking, thinking that they had seen through the false mask of the old father, well, he was stunned to force himself into a mental patient.
A year later, the illness was controlled, Zhao Guangyi was very happy, and he was amnesty in his hands; time was like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Chongyang Festival, considering that Zhao Yuanzuo had just recovered from a serious illness, Zhao Guangyi did not let him participate in the family gathering.
After the banquet, Zhao Yuanzuo's younger brothers felt that they had to go to see the eldest brother. Zhao Yuanzuo, when he heard that the whole family was gathering, but without him, he wondered in his heart: If you drink wine and eat meat and see beautiful women, don't you take me with you, isn't this going to abandon me? The baby did not open the forest, drunk after the "big trouble in the heavenly palace", a fire lit the house.
Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was sleeping beautifully, was suddenly awakened by thick smoke, although the fire was quickly controlled, but it almost burned to the Golden Ruan Hall. Zhao Er was angry, and this crippled calf wanted to usurp the throne or how to drop, and directly issued an edict: depose Zhao Yuanzuo.
Zhao Yuanzuo, by pretending to be crazy and stupid, lost the throne and saved his life, this grandfather, among the 8 brothers, actually lived to the end, at the age of 62.
Zhao Yuanxi, the second brother among the brothers, the queue was also his turn, at that time, he became the "Kaifeng Fu Yin" who represented the position of prince, Mei Zizi, a posture that could go to work at any time, constantly participated in the resolutions of the government, Ran Goose, suddenly died of a violent illness, the illness was exactly the same as Zhao Kuangyin, he was only 26 years old at that time.
Song Taizong, this time he really cried, the boss's brain is not good, even if it is not good, the second elder is really not bad for him, he has not done anything well.
Song Taizong, as the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, definitely did not believe in such nonsense as ghosts and gods, and it was not good to feel that this kind of thing happened continuously, and until 2 years before his death, he did not have the idea of making a prince. At that time, the prime minister was Feng Zheng, who had no eyesight, nothing to mention the prince, did not say anything, and was directly assigned to Lingnan to experience life.
At this point, it seems that the big picture has been decided? It's still early, but here's a little episode:
In 997, Emperor Taizong of Song zhao Guangyi died, and Wang Ji'en plotted with Li Changling, the governor of the imperial household, and Dian Qiandu to command Li Jixun and Hu Dan to establish the former Chu king Yuanzuo.
Wang Ji'en, who is this cargo? Don't worry, listen to the little one slowly:
Thinking that when the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died, the empress sent him to issue an edict to Zhao Defang to enter the palace to inherit the throne, this self-assertion, called Zhao Guangyi, preemptively seized the throne, this time, and wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time he lost his hand and got rid of it.
The prime minister Lü Duan, who was lao Jianghu, saw his intentions, wrote the word "Da Xiang" on his wat board, sent someone to Send Zhao Heng to let him enter the palace quickly, and at the same time, tricked Wang Ji'en into locking him in a house, and sent people to watch him dead and not let him come out.
The empress dowager, seeing that her accomplice Wang Ji'en was not there, had no choice but to announce that Zhao Heng was on the throne at the Zhao Guangyi Spirit Hall.
The rule of Xianping
In 998, Emperor Zhenzong of Song zhao Heng changed his name to Yuan Xianping.
Song Zhenzong, in the early days of his reign, was definitely a promising young man, appointing many famous ministers: Li Xun, Kou Zhun, and others, diligent in political affairs, dividing the national territory into 15 routes, transferring envoys from various roads, and taking turns to report to Beijing to avoid local armed forces becoming the overlords of the earth and threatening the rule of the central government.
Reducing taxes from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, he himself advocated a frugal life, and there was no extravagance and waste in the court;
The introduction of siamese fine rice doubled crop yields in the Song Dynasty, and the land cultivation area expanded to 520 million mu, it should be known that in the Song Taizong period, the land cultivation area was only more than 300 million mu;
The widespread use of iron tools has promoted the development and prosperity of agriculture, commerce, handicrafts, dyeing, and textiles, and the social and political stability has increased, people's incomes have soared, roads are not left behind, and households are not closed at night.
The Alliance of the Chan (澶) Yuan
Since the beginning of Song Taizu, and then to Song Taizong, Liao Guo, has always been the sworn enemy of the Song Dynasty, when the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the heart and mind is: to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
The failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition (986 AD) led to the situation of the Song Dynasty against the Liao State, from a strategic offensive to a passive defense, on the contrary, the Liao State began to press the Song Dynasty step by step.
In the autumn of the first year of Jingde (1004 AD), Empress Xiao Of the Liao Dynasty and Emperor Shengzong of Liao, Yelü Longxu, personally led an army of 200,000 to the south, and the peak of the army pointed directly to The prefecture on the bank of the Yellow River (present-day Puyang, Henan).
Alarms, in one night came 5 letters to Tokyo, Song Zhenzong, where have seen this kind of formation? The head was big, and the group of ministers was urgently summoned to ask for advice, and the then deputy prime ministers Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosu advocated running away.
Kou Zhun, the prime minister, resolutely opposed it, saying: Those who come up with such an idea should be beheaded, and further said: If they abandon Beijing and flee south, they are bound to shake people's hearts, the enemy will take advantage of the void to enter, and the country will be difficult to save; if the emperor himself goes out on the expedition, morale will certainly be greatly boosted, and he will certainly be able to repel the enemy army.
In 1005 AD, Emperor Zhenzong of Song marched in person, and halfway through, Emperor Zhenzong of Song heard that the Liao army was strong and wanted to retreat.
Prime Minister Kou Zhun solemnly said to Song Zhenzong: Now that the enemy army is approaching and the situation is critical, we can only advance one foot, not an inch back. Our army in Hebei is looking forward to The arrival of His Majesty day and night, and the march will increase the morale of our hebei armies by a hundredfold. Retreating will discourage the army and disappoint the people. The enemy took the opportunity to attack. Your Majesty is afraid that even Jinling will not be able to keep it.
Song Zhenzong reluctantly agreed, and after several times, they all wanted to retreat, but they were all dispelled by Kou Zhun, and when they arrived at Tanzhou City, all the Song troops, seeing the arrival of Song Zhenzong, cheered and rejoiced, and Song Zhenzong, at the request of Kou Zhun, climbed the city wall to boost morale, and the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted.
The Song army, from the generals down to the soldiers, was full of joy and good fortune and eating chicken, and killed xiao Dalan, the main general of the Liao army, who was killed, and the army's heart was unstable, and Empress Xiao proposed peace.
Prime Minister Kou Zhun was overjoyed to see this situation, wasn't this a good time to recover the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun"? But Song Zhenzong, unlike Song Taizu and Song Taizong, he did not go to the battlefield, he was longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace, not the emperor on horseback, without this strategic vision, and even less did he have the courage and responsibility to forge ahead.
Song Zhenzong, despite Kou Zhun's strong opposition, was determined to negotiate a peace with the Liao state under the city, you must know this time, but the Song army won the battle, the Liao state lost the battle, but at the negotiating table, the identities were completely reversed.
The contents of the collegial discussion include: the Liao and Song dynasties are the country of brothers, the Song is the brother, but the empress dowager of the Liao is the uncle; the na nian coin, 100,000 silver per year, and 200,000 yuan; the demarcation of the border; and the border mutual market.
The alliance ended the 25-year-long war between the Song and Liao, and opened the precedent of the two Song na years. After that, Song Liao maintained peace for more than 100 years, and what was not available on the battlefield could be easily obtained at the negotiating table, and the Liao state said that it was very nice.
The Song Dynasty, the most famous in history, is the people's livelihood is rich, the little money of the old coin, and finally earned back through the Song and Liao trade, the Liao State, eventually dragged down by the trade, but completed the Jin Kingdom.
Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, which became the "Yellow Liang Dream" of the Zhao royal family in later generations, had the opportunity at their fingertips, but because of Song Zhenzong's timidity and cowardice, he lost the opportunity, and he did not know how he explained it to Song Taizu and Song Taizong, let alone whether Song Taizong would regret choosing such a thing as emperor!
Seal Zen Taishan
After the alliance of Yuanyuan, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng was very proud for a while at first, but the nature of this negotiation was an alliance under the city, and Song Zhenzong later figured it out on his own, and was depressed; soon, when the chancellor Wang Qinruo guessed his mind, Wang Qinruo suggested that he hold a Taishan sealing ceremony; Wang Dan, the chancellor, strongly opposed this, but Song Zhenzong gave him food, and the chancellor saw that the emperor was determined to do so, and he could never stop it, so he stopped speaking.
In 1008 AD, Song Zhenzong held a zen ceremony in Mount Taishan, and in order to seal zen, he made up a story: I dreamed of a god man, and the god man said that on January 3, he would send a book to heaven at Zuo Cheng's Heavenly Gate, telling me not to divulge the heavenly opportunity.
When he heard this, he felt that his face was red, but the emperor was very happy to entertain himself. On the same day, surrounded by a group of courtiers, he came to Zuo Chengtianmen, and he saw at a glance that there was a yellow veil hanging on the tail of the iris on the south side of the city gate.
After taking down the Book of Heaven, I saw that the Book of Heaven had 21 words written on it:
Zhao was ordered to be prosperous in song, fu in Heng, juqi, shou in zheng, seven hundred in the world, nine nine ding.
The courtiers were all confused, the heavenly book written by the gods and men, can mortals actually understand it? Don't worry, there's something more fun.
That night, Song Zhenzong gave a feast to the courtiers, and at the same time, sent people to sacrifice the ancestral heaven and earth, pardoned the world, and changed the year name to Dazhong Xiangfu, and more than that, after that, it was allowed to the people of the capital to take 5 days off and celebrate with the whole world.
You think that's the end of it? NONONO, since the change of the era name, the Central Plains, the auspicious rui that has not been encountered in a hundred years, has appeared in a pile:
On the sixth day of the first month of June of the first year, Vice Chancellor Wang Qinruo reported from Tai'an that Mount Tai gushed out of Liquan and the dragon descended on Xishan, and soon, the second batch of Heavenly Books descended on a tree on Mount Tai and fluttered with the wind.
In the second year of Xiangfu, Wang Jie, a native of Tingzhou, wrote to him that he had met the ancestor of the Zhao family and gave him a small sword; in November of the third year, Shaanzhou reported that the Yellow River in its territory had become clear, and in December the Yellow River was cleared again; on New Year's Day of the sixth year, Si Tianjian reported that there was a rare celestial phenomenon of "five stars and continuous pearls"; in seven years, Ding Zhi offered 95,000 zhi grasses from Bozhou...
Song Zhenzong did not have the courage to find the field to the LiaoGuo, but he was bent on finding face, and this absurd Xiangrui farce lasted for 14 years.
Taishan Feng zen, what a big and serious thing, was played by Song Zhenzong, stunned, the future emperor no one played this trick, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, unlocked the title of the last emperor to carry out the sealing activities.
Song Zhenzong, in his later years, built Taoist buildings on a large scale, in fact, before his death, the savings of the three generations of the old Zhao family were almost gone; there were also big problems in the court, there were five ghosts chaotic government, harem interference and other situations.
In 1022, Zhao Heng, the True Emperor of Song, died at the age of 55 at the Age of 55 and reigned for 25 years.
Half a year after his death, the important prop of this zen, the Book of Heaven, was buried with him in the Yongding Mausoleum as his funeral offerings in accordance with his will.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, "Chen Qiao mutinied the yellow robe and added his body", ended the dispute between the five generations and ten kingdoms, single-handedly created the Great Song Dynasty, the luck of the heavens, the position of the parents passed to the hands of Song Zhenzong, Zhao Heng, has always insisted on "not seeking no merit but seeking no fault", only want to keep this family business.
Wang Dan, a generation of famous ministers, died depressed because of this matter, and left a will for his son before his death: "I have no other faults, only the matter of not dissuading the Book of Heaven is a sin that cannot be redeemed." After death, shave off your hair and wear black clothes to be buried. ”
Song Zhenzong, left a poem to future generations of readers, very famous "Persuasion Poem":
Rich families do not have to buy good land, and there are thousands of bells in the book.
There is no need to build a high hall in the settlement, and there is a golden house in the book.
There is no need to hate when going out without a car, and there are many horses in the book. Marrying a wife without a match, there is no need to hate, there are women in the book. The boy wanted to fulfill his life's ambitions and read the Six Classics diligently to the window.
This poem laid the national policy after the Song Dynasty: treat the readers kindly and suppress the warriors. It opened the prosperity of the readers and sounded the clarion call of the warrior's lament.
