Introduction: There are about 400 emperors in China's history, of which only four are the temple number Renzong (the Great Unification Dynasty): Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, Yuan Renzong Bo'er Only Jin Ai Yu Li Bali Bada, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaozi, Qing Renzong Jiaqing Emperor (Jiaqing called Renzong Taishui) It can be seen how difficult the temple number Ren is. What is benevolence is benevolence. It is very difficult for ordinary people to be able to do anything, not to mention that you are the emperor of the Heavenly Son. The emperor can be called a benevolent person, not only to have his own accidents to be benevolent, but also to implement benevolent government for a long time in the face of the people of the world. And the deeds of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong in his more than forty years of imperial career are completely worthy of rende. His virtue was not only recognized by the people of the Song Dynasty, but even the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelü Hongji, cried when he heard the news. When the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, it plundered the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty, and even the tomb of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, could not escape. However, only Song Renzong's Yongzhao Mausoleum was not damaged in the slightest, which shows Renzong's personal charm.
We ordinary people are not yet strict enough to discipline ourselves, let alone the emperors who were killed and robbed in ancient times. Song Renzong was one of the few excellent emperors who were humble and able to think differently. He was generous and benevolent by nature, did not like luxury, and was a model of strict self-discipline and leniency. It is precisely this kind of personality that makes the country prosperous and prosperous during his reign. In order to alleviate the crisis, there was a reform of the Qingli New Deal headed by Fan Zhongyan, and it was expected to change the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. Although he failed due to the strength of the opposition, he also tested the waters for Wang Anshi's transformation of the Divine Sect.
Because Emperor Renzong of Song ruled for more than forty years, and the reign except for the Song and Xia wars, it was a period of peace. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Injong, the economy developed rapidly. Many famous ministers entered the court as officials during this period: Bao Zheng, Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Su Rui, Sima Guang, and so on. Although Song Renzong had no achievements in foreign wars, he could be regarded as a good shoucheng king. The long-term peace may have been the result expected by the Liao monarchs, so when Emperor Renzong sent emissaries to the Liao kingdom to report the news, the Liao lord Yelü Hongji cried. PS: Yelü Hongji is also a Liao Tianzi who loves to hunt and does not like to fight.
Emperor Ren collapsed and sent envoys to the Khitans, and the people of yan were all weeping near and far. The messenger of the Lord of The Raiders mourned: "Forty-two years I have not known the soldiers. "Later, the Imperial Robes given by Emperor Ren of the Northern Dynasty were as strict as the tomb clouds of his ancestors.
Song Renzong was good at receiving advice and would never be angry and kill people because of the advice of his ministers. Therefore, in the renzong dynasty, ministers were generally outspoken. In particular, Bao Zheng can be called a great Song troll, often generous and outspoken. Even sometimes when Bao Zheng sprayed at close range, the saliva sprayed onto Renzong's face. Although Renzong was embarrassed, he never got angry and admitted his mistake while wiping his face. This is by no means a superficial effort, and it is not like Li Shimin who is retaliating afterwards. Therefore, only by opening up the way of speech can the king not travel far on the wrong road. Therefore, during Emperor Renzong's reign, he was generally lenient towards ministers, and never treated courtiers with severe punishment.
Emperor Renzong was not only lenient to the ministers, but also to the staff around him. There are many small allusions that testify to the king's concern for those around him. Once, after Renzong's late-night review of the recital, he felt hungry and wanted to eat a bowl of mutton soup. But seeing that the imperial dining room was no longer guarded, the great Renzong went to sleep hungry. When the queen heard the news the next day and blamed him, he said that it was a coincidence that if they were called once, I would probably form a precedent. This will not only waste money, but also prevent chefs from getting a better rest. This is not pedantic, but a virtue.
There are many such examples in Song Renzong's body, and both the ministers and the people were impressed by Renzong's personal charm. In ancient times, Ren was the highest principle of morality considered by Confucianism, and the Song Dynasty ruled the country with scholars, so Renzong's words and deeds have always been respected by everyone. Moreover, Renzong was able to extend Ren to ordinary people and was good at empathizing with the difficulties of weighing others. Therefore, after The death of Emperor Renzong, the title of Renzong is definitely the most worthy of the name of the four Renzong.
When the news of Emperor Renzong's death came out, people spontaneously sent off the benevolent emperor. Without the edict of the imperial court, ordinary people and merchants from all over the country stopped business to pay tribute to this rare monarch. In Luoyang, the soot of the paper money burned at the memorial was even covered with the sky, and people could not see the sun. A monarch can get the joint approval of his own people, ministers, and even enemy countries, and Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong can be regarded as the first feudal monarch.
"Kyoshi (Bieliang) went on strike and cried for several days, although beggars and children burned paper money and cried before Ouchi.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
