Our country has a history and culture of five thousand years, in these thousands of years, there have been twenty-four dynasties, more than four hundred emperors, some of these emperors because of their shrewdness and ability, by posterity as the first emperor of the ages, some because of cruelty and indulnerability, let themselves stink for thousands of years, but there is such an emperor, known as the most benevolent emperor in history, when he died, even the kings of the enemy countries wept bitterly for it.
He was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen and Song Renzong, the only emperor in China who had used the temple name "Ren". He ascended the throne in 1022 and reigned for forty-two years, the longest reigning emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Where is Zhao Zhen's benevolence mainly embodied? This has to start from his style of life, the emperor since ancient times is mostly dressed in gold, there are a large group of people around to serve, and Zhao Zhen is the opposite, his life is very frugal, one year Zhao Zhen fell ill, resulting in his own lack of interest in food, appetite greatly reduced, the time is getting thinner and thinner, then the eunuchs around him are very anxious, they thought of a way to help Zhao Zhen appetize.
This flavored ingredient was clams, at that time Zhao Zhen had not seen this, so he asked the official where he got it, the official only said that it was obtained from a very far away place, spending twenty-eight thousand dollars, Zhao Zhen was angry at that time, angrily rebuked: "This person has always advocated economy, you just let me eat this plate of clams actually spent so much money, so I didn't eat a bite, and then the eunuch didn't dare to waste it anymore."
Zhao Zhen not only that, but also not close to the female color, concentrated on the administration of the government, repeatedly gave the people tax relief, the imperial court is not very rich, but the people's pockets are bulging. Later, when he died, even the emperor of the Liao State, Yelü Hongji, cried with a headache, and his mood could not be calmed for a long time, and he also set up a crown tomb for Zhao Zhen in China.
