Hello everyone, I am Pear White, a history and writing cute new lovers, welcome to pay attention to Oh ~ this article is original, pirate articles must be investigated!
Friends, have you cooled down? Cold weather must pay attention to keep warm, now the epidemic is not over, autumn and winter is the flu season, wear a mask, do a good job of protection, is responsible for themselves, but also love others.
Returning to the truth, the song court internal servant sentient beings returned from time to time, yesterday we talked about Lei Yungong, who privately moved the mountain tomb of Song Zhenzong, and today we will talk about the same not simple internal servant, Ren Shouzhong.
Friends who have watched the TV series "Qing Ping Le", for the internal servant Ren Shouzhong should be no stranger, compared to Zhang Maoze who followed Song Renzong's side and Liang Huaiji, who was loved by Princess Huirou, he was considered to be an old man with a high generation and was favored earlier in the internal servant.
It was such a person who looked harmless to people and animals, but he was targeted by our "Northern Song Dynasty Heavenly Regiment", Sima Guang said that he was a national thief, and although Han Qi spared his life, he also said that he "deserved to die for his sins."
I have to say that Ren Shouzhong is not a simple person who can make these literary heroes, famous courtiers, and iron mouths attack repeatedly, so what did he do? It will be revealed to you soon.
As we have already mentioned above, when Ren Shouzhong was in the Song Renzong Dynasty, the rank of internal servants was already very high, because he was already famous as early as when Empress Zhang Xianliu listened to the government.
Ren Shouzhong is "yin into the inner yellow door", what is said here should not mean that because his father became an official, he would go to the internal servant, otherwise he really did not know whether it was Enyin or really miserable.
Ren Shouzhong's "Yin" refers to his adoptive father, Ren Wenqing, who was an internal servant during the Song Zhenzong period, and Ren Shouzhong was later promoted because of this relationship, and then became the Xitou Worship Official, and then received an errand from the Imperial Medicine Temple, but was eventually deposed for committing a crime.
The "History of Song" does not record what mistake Ren Shouzhong made, but it is not a small mistake to be deposed from official duties, so we can know that Ren Shouzhong is definitely not a male classmate without a story.
Soon, Ren Shouzhong was reinstated against the wind, and later promoted to the imperial medicine offering. After watching so many party fights and palace fight dramas, we all know that "standing on the right side" is very important.
Soon, the time came for Ren Shouzhong to "take sides", and he did stand in the right line at that time, "At the beginning, After Zhang Xian listened to the government, Shou Zhong and Du Zhi Jiang Deming and other traffic pleases, the power favor is too much."
Why did Li Bai emphasize that Ren Shouzhong would take sides at that time? The relationship between Empress Dowager Zhangxian and Song Renzong has always been very delicate, on the one hand, Liu Shi did have a nurturing favor for Renzong, but Song Renzong was unable to govern pro-government, and only after his death did he know that he was not born of Liu Shi, which made him very upset, and it was impossible to have no resentment towards Liu Shi.
After Liu's death, Song Renzong began to liquidate the people who had followed Liu before, Ren Shouzhong, who first left Beijing as the capital of Huangzhou, and later was demoted to the liquor tax of Yingzhou, and slightly moved the capital of Tanzhou to the town of Heliu.
Later, the imperial court used troops in the western region, and Ren Shouzhong was used to garrison Qin Feng and Jingyuan Road. As we all know, most of the internal servants of the Song Dynasty had the experience of supervising the army or being sent to fight, and Ren Shouzhong was the same, so he returned to the palace again with meritorious service and became an internal servant.
Ren Shouzhong's "career path" rose and fell, and eventually he moved the envoys of propaganda and yangzhou observation, so that they could all know about it. With the ups and downs of his career, Ren Shouzhong was also more and more able to speak in front of Song Renzong, and then he began to move his crooked mind and participate in the matter of Li Si.
Little friends all know that our poor Song Renzong has the life of a son, but he can't keep his son, so who will be the successor becomes the question.
Zhao Zongshi (Song Yingzong) was sent to the palace as a "zhaodi" mascot and imperial spare tire at a very young age, and he was raised under the knee of Empress Cao of Song Renzong, and only married to Empress Cao's niece, so at that time Zhao Zongshi had the greatest chance of winning as a prince and successor.
However, Ren Shouzhong did not think so, and there was a better heir to the throne in his heart. Ren Shouzhong's so-called better successor was Zhao Yunchu, the son of Zhao Yuanyu, a child that Empress Liu had once adopted in the palace, zhao Yuanyu, the second son of Emperor Zhenzong of Song.
This is recorded in Sima Guang's "Records of Shuishui", saying that after the death of Zhao Zongshi's father, King Pu, Song Renzong assigned two people, Ren Shouzhong and Wang Shining, to handle the funeral, and as a result, the two of them "despised the sons and gave nearly 10,000 taels, but their hearts were still not tired", and finally slandered the eldest son of King Pu for not filial piety, resulting in his removal.
Zhao Zongshi (Song Yingzong) was the son of King Pu, and he must have been among the "Sons of Ling", Song Renzong was optimistic about Zhao Zongshi, but Ren Shouzhong was still "bullying" people, which proved that Ren Shouzhong was really optimistic about Zhao Yunchu.
Many small partners do not understand, since the throne has not been fixed, anyone is possible, why is Zhao Yuanyu's son not successful? That's because the child's brain development is a bit slow, and the IQ is not directly proportional to age.
The big guy wondered again, why did Ren Shouzhong support a low-energy child to become an emperor? This point is very clear in the "History of Song", "Emperor Renzong did not have an heir, belonged to Emperor Yingzong, and shouzhongzhong suggested that he wanted to help li li faint in order to gain great profits."
Ren Shouzhong wanted to fish in muddy waters to gain profit, and after Song Renzong met Zhao Yunchu, he saw that the child was really not very smart, and complained about Ren Shouzhong. However, from this we can also see that Song Renzong trusted Ren Shouzhong very much, otherwise he would not have considered seeing Zhao Yunchu.
Finally, under the supervision of the ministers, Zhao Zongshi was made crown prince. At the end of March of the eighth year of Jiayou, Song Renzong died and Song Yingzong took the throne.
In the early days of Song Yingzong's reign, he served as a loyal official to pay homage to Xuanqing and stay behind in the Quiet Army, which was a good official position for what he had done before, but he did not accept it when he saw it, but began to create a rift between Empress Cao and Song Yingzong.
Empress Cao was childless in her life, and Song Yingzong was only a adoptive son, and this emotional relationship was originally more complicated, not to mention that it was still a royal "mother and son".
In the previous article, we have also introduced the twisted relationship between this "mother and son". Although Song Yingzong had lived under Empress Cao's knee for a period of time when he was a child, for him, every minute and every second of the days in the palace or as a spare tire was a torment, and after he ascended to the throne, he still lived in the past, so he was not warm to Empress Cao and even had some disrespectful words; Empress Cao did not trust Song Yingzong as much, and the royal mother and son could break up, not to mention that they were only adoptive mothers and adopted sons who had not been named for a few days, so she did not like Song Yingzong.
The relationship between these two people was already very complicated, but Ren Shouzhong still did not play a good role in it, resulting in an increasingly tense relationship between the two palaces.
In the "duel" between Empress Cao and Song Yingzong, the ministers almost all sided with Song Yingzong, and Ren Shouzhong also sided with Song Yingzong, but this does not mean that they can bear to stir up dissension inside, at this time, the most quarrelsome Lü Jie, Sima Guang and others stood up.
At that time, Sima Guangzhiyuan, believing that Ren Shouzhong had "the crime of division", was "the great thief of the country" and "the giant beetle of the people", and said that he was guarding the self-theft and so on, and asked Song Yingzong to behead him in the city.
Song Yingzong hesitated for a moment. Prime Minister Han Qi came out with an empty letter, that is, an official document that was only stamped and not filled out, and then let everyone sign, at that time, Ouyang Xiu was involved in politics and governors, and also signed, Zhao Wei was still hesitating, not knowing what Han Qi wanted this "empty check" for, Ouyang Xiu said that Han Qi had his own use.
Sure enough, Han Qi took the empty head that everyone signed and went to the government affairs hall, and Ren Shouzhong stood under the court. Han Qi did not give Ren Shouzhong a chance to speak, and directly "convicted" him of his crime, "Ru sin deserves death, degrading the deputy envoy of the Baoxin Army and placing him in Puzhou", and then filled in the empty head and asked people to escort Ren Shouzhong out of Beijing on the same day, because Han Qi thought that he might change sooner.
Why did Han Qi feel that there would be a change again? Li Bai believes that it is very likely that Han Qi and others have detected what ren Shouzhong has done, of course, this point Li Bai has not yet found the corresponding historical data to support it, and hopes to find it later.
Regarding the end of Ren Shouzhong's depreciation, the "History of Song" evaluates it as "Chinese and foreign fast", because although Ren Shouzhong's career has ups and downs, he can "spend it peacefully" every time, and he has been favored by Empress Liu, Song Renzong, and Song Yingzong, so he is arrogant and domineering, and many people dare not point out his faults.
After a period of time, Ren Shouzhong was again appointed as a general of Zuo Wuwei, and in this position he died at the age of seventy-nine, which was definitely a high life expectancy in the Song Dynasty, and Ren Shouzhong was regarded as a "good death".
Today's content we will share here, but there are actually many things about Ren Shouzhong, some of which are still to be examined, and Li Bai will be presented in future articles.
If you are interested in today's article, tell me in the comment area, Li Bai is looking forward to everyone's re-approval oh ~
