First of all, let's take a look at the story of the emperor's father today - "The Biography of Song Zhenzong" No, according to their title, it should be the father of the official family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Alexandre Dumas wrote a great book in his lifetime, with 300 volumes of various works, and is known as the king of popular fiction. But in his eyes, his best work is his son, Alexandre Dumas, so I think Song Zhenzong's greatest achievement is to give birth to Song Renzong.

I read it carefully word by word - Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, born on December 23, 968, died on March 23, 1022, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, the third son of Song Taizong, and his mother was Empress Li of Yuande. His original name was Zhao Dechang, and later changed to Zhao Yuanxiu and Zhao Yuankan. He was successively crowned King of Han, King Xiang and King Shou, and served as the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. I suddenly thought of a serious problem, this is going to be discovered, but it is a great crime of disrespect, all dynasties, this emperor is long live long live long live, but it is written that he has lived for just a few decades. But fortunately, these people in the imperial dining room are illiterate, and I can rest assured that I can boldly look at it.

Although this Song Zhenzong is really a great achievement, but the literary talent is still good, he loves literature, is a standard literary youth, he is good at calligraphy, can also be regarded as a calligraphy master, the famous proverb "the book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu is from his "Encouragement of Learning", its purpose is to encourage scholars to read the imperial examination, participate in the political country, so that the Song Dynasty can recruit wise men to govern the world. There are 300 volumes of "Imperial Collection", and only six volumes of "Yujing Collection" remain. "All Song Poems" recorded twenty-two of his poems. It's a pity that I entered the palace late, and he had already gone to the west of the crane and didn't take a look, which is a pity.

I continued to look - in the first year of the Dao, he was made the crown prince and changed his name to Heng. In the third year of the Dao, Zhao Heng ascended the throne. At the beginning of Zhao Heng's accession to the throne, he appointed Li Xin and others as ministers and was diligent in political affairs. In the first year of Jingde, the Liao Dynasty invaded, and the prime minister Kou Zhun tried to dispel public opinion and persuade Zhao Heng to personally conquer, and the two sides would fight in the abyss 300 miles away from the capital Tokyo, and the situation was favorable to the Northern Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Heng was afraid of Liao's momentum, and considered that the two sides had been at war for a long time and had won and lost each other, so he ignored the opposition and made an alliance and reconciliation in Lanyuan on the condition that Liao was given a certain amount of gold and silver every year as the "year coin", which was known as the "Lanyuan Alliance" in history. After that, the Northern Song Dynasty entered a period of economic prosperity, known as the "rule of Xianping" in history. In the later period of Zhao Heng's reign, Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei were the prime ministers, and the two often used the heavenly book Fu Rui to confuse the government and the opposition. Zhao Heng also indulged in the matter of sealing Zen, built a wide range of palaces, worked the people and lost money, resulting in the deepening of social contradictions, making the problem of "internal and external troubles" in the Northern Song Dynasty increasingly serious. Zhao Heng died in the first year of Qianxing at the age of fifty-five and reigned for twenty-five years. The name is the Civilization Chapter Shengyuan Xiao Emperor, and the temple name is Zhenzong. Buried in Yongding Mausoleum. After the accumulation of the Fu Ji ancient divine merit to make the virtue of civilization Wuding Zhangsheng Yuanxiao Emperor.

Song Zhenzong loves face, good pomp, and loves to seal Zen the most, in order to make up for the injured self-esteem in the "Abyss Alliance", he actually sealed the "Five Mountains" in one go. Back then, Tang Taizong wanted to seal a Huashan Mountain, but he gave up because it was too expensive. It is conceivable how far the treasury of the Song Dynasty was depleted. Therefore, Song Zhenzong has no Zen after the Zen, Song Zhenzong this Zen, although it is not said that there are no ancients, but it is indeed the one who has not come, his seal of Mount Tai is one of the largest in the history of ancient Chinese emperors, before and after nearly 50 days. He spent 8.3 million yuan on Taishan this time. Later, he went to Shanxi to worship the land god, and the flower was less, 200,000. The key point is that in this process, he spent more than 20 million yuan on rewarding officials at all levels. The total income of the whole year is only more than 26 million。。。。。

I flipped through the back, and felt that the back was a little boring, so I changed the book and looked at "The Biography of Song Renzong", I felt that this book was somewhat interesting, because the beginning of it was very attractive to me, and I couldn't wait to look at it, and it was written - in the third month of the summer calendar in 1063 AD, the 54-year-old Song Renzong died. The news spread from the palace to the market, and a little beggar on the street of Kaifeng was stunned at first, but then he cried loudly and staggered to the palace. Who knew that the palace gate was already crowded with people, ragged beggars, Sven scholars, and childish children...... Crying and making a ball, clothed in white linen, burning paper money, and giving the emperor a "farewell". The next day, the smoke of burning paper money filled the city so much that there was no light. When the news spread from the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Liao, the fierce monarch of the Liao State was also taken aback, rushed up and grabbed the hand of the envoy of the Song Dynasty and cried bitterly: "I have not known the military revolution for forty-two years. All of a sudden, the people on the Song-Liao border cried from far and near, which shows that it is not only the people of the Song Dynasty who have benefited him.

Indeed, benevolence was at the heart of Confucianism, and in Chinese history, he was the first emperor to be revered as "Renzong" and contributed to the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty. I think this is the highest evaluation of an emperor. Throughout the ages, it can be said that Song Renzong is the person who has done the best job as an emperor, knows the art of being an emperor the most, and is the most handy. From the poor to the enemy, they were reluctant to let him die - it was not easy for the emperor to do this. There were only three virtuous kings after the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties praised by the scholars of the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Renzong of Song and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming. Even the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was much worse than himself, had to admit that the three emperors he admired the most in his life, in addition to his grandfather Kangxi and Tang Taizong, were Song Renzong. Under his rule, the peak of science and art was ushered in, and for a time the stars were shining and talents were gathered. In the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", except for Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty, the other six were all active in the Renzong period. So much so that Lin Yutang said that this was the "best era" of Chinese literati. "History of the Song Dynasty" praised: ""Biography" said: 'To be a king, stop at benevolence. 'Emperor Cheng is worthy of it. Historians summarize the period of his reign and pro-political state as "the reign of Renzong".

By the way, I suddenly remembered that Song Renzong's life experience is also quite legendary, he is one of the protagonists in the story of the tanuki for the prince, and he is still a celebrity from ancient times to the present. "Tanuki for the Prince" is a literary story in the classical masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". When talking about Song Zhenzong, Concubine Liu conspired with the inner supervisor Guo Huai to exchange the baby born to Concubine Li Chen with a skinned civet cat, and Concubine Li Chen was thrown into the cold palace. After Zhao Heng's death, Renzong Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, and Bao Zheng was ordered to go to Chenzhou to investigate the fraud case of his uncle Pang Yu. On the way, Bao Zheng accepted the unjust case of Concubine Li and redressed her grievances, and welcomed the story of Concubine Li's return to the court. Because the story is popular, it has been praised by future generations. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, this story spread to Shanghai, and was adapted into Peking Opera and put on the stage, which caused a sensation in Shanghai after the performance, and was later adapted into various operas such as Ping Opera, Henan Opera, Huangmei Opera, Lu Opera, Hunan Opera, Chao Opera, etc., which were sung one after another. This story has been adapted into a TV series many times on the screen in modern times, and everyone knows it.

And his luck is also good, he doesn't have to kill his brother and father to get the throne, because when Song Renzong was born, all the princes before him died. So he named "Benefit", at the age of 5, he was named the Duke of Qingguo, at the age of 9, he was the crown prince, and at the age of 13, his father died and changed his name to Zhao Zhen and ascended the throne as the emperor. Compared with the nine sons of later generations, you live and die, this guy's good life is enough to make the princes of all generations jealous.

I then looked at the book again - Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen, first name, Zhao Benefit. The fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, the sixth son of Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, and his mother was Concubine Li Chen. In his early years, he was awarded the title of Duke of Qingguo, King of Shouchun County, King of Sheng, and official orders. In the second year of Tianxi (1018), he was made the crown prince and given the name Zhao Zhen. In the first year of Qianxing (1022), Zhao Zhen ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. At the beginning of Zhao Zhen's reign, Zhang Xian, the queen of Mingsu, listened to the government from the curtain to the second year of the Ming Dao (1033). During his reign, the first "Song-Xia War" broke out, and after three years of fighting, the two sides finally signed the "Qingli Peace Agreement" in the fourth year of Qingli (1044). During this period, the Liao Dynasty took the opportunity to press the border with heavy troops and forced the Song Dynasty to increase the loss of the New Year's coin, which was known as the "Chongxi Coin" in history. In the third year of Qingli (1043), Zhao Zhen appointed Fan Zhongyan and others to carry out the "Qingli New Deal" to improve the political situation, but due to the huge opposition forces, the reform was immediately suspended. In the eighth year of Jiayou (1063), Zhao Zhen died in the Bianliang Palace at the age of fifty-four. The name of the body of the heavenly law is the ultimate merit, the whole virtue of the gods, the saint Wu Ruizhe, the emperor of Ming Xiao, the temple name is Renzong, and he is buried in the Yongzhao Mausoleum. Zhao Zhen reigned for forty-two years, making him the longest-reigning emperor of the Song Dynasty. He is good at calligraphy, especially good at flying white books, and has 100 volumes of "Imperial Collection". "All Song Poems" recorded his poems. During the reign of Zhao Zhen, the economy prospered, and science, technology, and culture also developed greatly.

Song Renzong is the current emperor, calculating his age, and my average age in ancient times, but the book looks old-fashioned, old-fashioned, and the ancient times without cameras are really annoying, and the appearance of a thousand people is obviously inconsistent with the current appearance. But it's written with humor and humor, and it's very interesting.

I read word by word in the flickering candlelight, reading at night, the thick hundreds of pages were almost seen by me at a glance and ten lines, and I looked out of control and looked at "The Biography of Liu E, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Song Dynasty". I didn't expect this one to be more interesting, and it's quite legendary. In short, this is really an inspirational story of a Chinese Cinderella. As we all know, there are many stories of Cinderella in modern society, and those princes marry not princesses, but the daughters of ordinary ordinary people, which also gives many girls who are born ordinary a lot of encouragement, hoping to get the favor of the prince, step into the sky, and change their fate. And in the ancient times of China's Great Song Dynasty, there was also such a Cinderella, she was not only born in poverty, born in a poor rural area, and, both parents died very early, not only that, this Cinderella She was married once at a young age, in order to survive, she left her hometown, went to the capital to work hard, fell in love with the prince at first sight, and finally succeeded in holding the prince, when Miss Liu and Zhao Heng met, both of them were only fifteen years old, and they were just innocent teenagers. When Zhao Heng ascended the throne and became the emperor, Miss Liu hid the house in his home for 14 years, and such a long period of hardship proved that the relationship between the two people was indeed pure and loyal. And this Cinderella is alert by nature, has an excellent memory, and is a scholar, and has read a lot of books during the fourteen years of seclusion, coupled with the social experience of wandering at the bottom of the rivers and lakes in her youth, she has a deep understanding of the people's suffering, and the relationship between the two is good, so after entering the palace, she became an important assistant of Zhenzong. Zhenzong was not in good health, and in the later period of Zhenzong, the government was actually handled by Miss Liu. Although she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, but in the end she was actually in power for more than ten years, directing the country, strategizing, and almost became a female emperor, we all know that Cixi once listened to the government, but the first queen in history to listen to the government was Queen Liu of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the heroine of the traditional story of the tanuki for the prince, this girl has a nice name, she is called Liu E, she is really a superb Cinderella, a fighter in Cinderella, a Cinderella in Cinderella.

It is written in black and white paper - Liu E (January 28, 968 ~ April 30, 1033), dedicated to the Empress of Mingsu, is the queen of Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, the first regent of the Song Dynasty, the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty, with outstanding achievements, often and the Han Dynasty Lu Hou, Tang Wu Hou and said, the history books say that it "has the talent of Lu Wu, there is no evil of Lu Wu". Grandfather Liu Yanqing served as the general of the Right Xiaowei in the Later Jin and Later Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, raised troops in the south of Taiyuan, and the Later Han Dynasty built the capital of Taiyuan), and his father Liu Tong was the commander of the Hujiedu during the Song Taizu, leading the Jiazhou (now Leshan, Sichuan) assassination history, so the Liu family moved to CD Huayang. When she gave birth to Liu E, her mother Pang Zi once dreamed of the bright moon in her arms, and after waking up, she gave birth to a daughter named Liu E. However, not long after Liu E was born, Liu Tong was ordered to go on the expedition, who expected to die on the battlefield, because Liu Tong had no children, the family was in the middle, Pang had to take the infant daughter to live in her mother's house. I don't know if the Pang family is poor, or Liu Tong did not collect property during his lifetime, although Liu E is the daughter of the assassin and is literate, she has learned the skills of making a living by beating moles with one hand, and is good at speaking drum words.

However, I thought about it carefully: "Judging from the available evidence, it is very likely that these were made up by the Liu family; if the Liu family was really so prominent, why would the Liu family marry Gong Mei, a silversmith in Shu, as his wife? Why did the Wang family, the grandmother of Song Zhenzong, say that the Liu family was from a humble background? Since the Liu family was a wealthy family, how could it be said that the Liu family was humble and humble? In ancient times, it was not possible to judge a person's nobility or cheapness just by looking at one generation. If Liu is really Liu Tong's daughter, why is she good at the skill of beating the rattle (that is, rattle) to make a living, this is the skill of a merchant, how could the daughter of a wealthy family fall to this? Obviously, Liu is by no means a general after Liu Yanqing, his grandfather and his father did not do anything. Thorn history, it is likely that it is just a small trader in Shu, Liu did this is nothing more than to pretend to be a branch of the Liu royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, to raise their own prestige, which is not a new thing in ancient times when the door was highly valued, this is the same as the ruler of Li Tang said that he is the descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, but it is to climb the wealth and improve the door, because history is written by successful people, and after a thousand years, it is false, true or false, only the parties themselves know. ”

All in all, she is a native of Sichuan, born poor, her father died when she was a child, she wandered around with relatives in her grandmother's family, and married Gong Mei, a silversmith, as a teenager. In order to make money in business, the silversmith took Liu E to Kaifeng, the capital at that time. Gong Mei's business is not good, and she is desperate, so she wants to sell Liu E. Zhao Heng (who was still King Xiang at the time) staff Zhang Min (Zhang Qi) saw Liu E, felt that she was smart and beautiful, and remembered that Zhao Heng had said that he wanted to accept a Sichuan woman as a concubine, so he arranged for the two to meet. Zhao Heng was very satisfied when he saw Liu E, so he bought her. Liu E won Zhao Heng's favor, and the two were like glue and inseparable. Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, was furious when he learned about this and ordered Zhao Heng to expel Liu E from the Xiangwang Mansion. His father's fate was difficult to disobey, but Zhao Heng was really reluctant to Liu E, so he secretly fostered Liu E in Zhang Min's house. Zhang Min arranged for his family to take care of Liu E, and in order to avoid suspicion, he slept in Xiangwang's Mansion every day, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion or even killing. After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he did not forget Liu E and took her to the palace, and he still loved her. Liu E's status in the palace continued to rise, and Dazhong Xiangfu was promoted to Concubine De in five years. At that time, Empress Guo had died, and in the harem, Liu E had the highest status, and she was only one step away from the queen's throne.

Liu E is not only gentle and beautiful, but also shrewd, well-versed in books and history, and has insight into national affairs. Zhao Heng reviewed the documents, and Liu E often accompanied him. Whenever there is a problem, Liu E can always provide appropriate advice, which has won Zhao Heng's trust. After the death of Empress Guo, Zhao Heng intended to make Liu E the queen, but he also knew that Liu E's background was the biggest obstacle. Zhao Heng couldn't make up his mind, so he consulted with Zhao Anren, the governor of the political department. It was precisely because of Liu E's humble background that Zhao Anren opposed making her the queen. Zhao Heng was very unhappy when he heard it. The next day, he consulted with Wang Qinruo and told him Zhao Anren's opinion. Wang Qinruo said to Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty might as well ask Zhao Anren who he thinks should be made the queen." Another day, Zhao Heng asked Zhao Anren who should be appointed as the queen, and Zhao Anren suggested: "Concubine Shen is the descendant of Shen Yilun, the prime minister of the former dynasty, and can be the queen." Zhao Heng explained Zhao Anren's opinion to Wang Qinruo the next day, Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty doesn't say it, and the minister also knows that he will say this, Zhao Anren used to be Shen Yilun's doorman!" Zhao Heng felt that Zhao Anren was favoritism, so he dismissed him and made up his mind to make Liu E the queen. But Liu E is quite cautious. When Zhao Heng decided to make her the queen, Prime Minister Wang Dan suddenly asked for sick leave, and Liu E was worried that Wang Dan would oppose it, so she persuaded Zhao Heng to postpone the matter. Later, after Wang Dan Shangshu agreed to appoint Liu E, the matter was finally determined.

In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Liu E was canonized as the queen. Liu's wife from a silversmith became an empress, not just because of her beauty. At this time, Liu E was already in her 40s, and she had already passed her prime, and what attracted Zhao Heng was her wisdom and ability. The shrewd and capable Liu E handled the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, and at the same time could help Zhao Heng in terms of court affairs. Zhao Heng trusted and even relied on her very much. When Zhao Heng's physical condition deteriorated day by day, Liu E naturally helped her husband handle the daily government affairs of the imperial court and adjudicate military affairs. In addition, after Liu E's ex-husband Gong Mei gave his wife to Zhao Heng, he also stayed by Zhao Heng's side to work for him. After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, Gong Mei changed her surname to Liu, and she and Liu E were called brother and sister. Because of Liu E's relationship, Liu Mei rose quickly, gradually mastered the military power of the capital, and became one of Liu E's most powerful assistants. In the late reign of Zhao Heng, Liu E became more and more powerful and became the de facto ruler, and his every move had a decisive impact on the political situation at that time, especially the struggle between the two factions of Kou Ling and Ding Wei.

Although Liu E was favored by Zhenzong, she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Coincidentally, Zhao Heng fell in love with a maid in Liu E's palace, and the Li family, who was favored by Zhao Heng, gave birth to a son in the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu. At that time, Liu E had not yet been crowned queen, and Liu E, who was nearly forty years old, probably realized that she would not have any more children, so she accepted Li's child, and she and another concubine, Yang (Empress Zhang Hui), raised together, and strictly forbade the palace people to explain the truth to the child. Zhao Heng doted on Liu E very much and acquiesced in her holding the son of the Li family. Having an heir is of great significance to Liu E's canonization as the queen and Zhao Heng's smooth listening to politics after his death. The smart Liu E understands the importance of her son to her, whether it is sincere or false, Liu E really plays the role of a qualified mother, carefully raising Zhao Ying, and the relationship between mother and son is very harmonious. This prince has been called Liu E's eldest lady since he was a child, and he has always thought that Liu E is his biological mother, and he didn't know the truth until Liu E's death.

Empress Liu was very good at governing the government, and in the fourth year of Zhenzong's Dazhong auspicious symbol, the imperial court ordered the introduction of early rice from Champa to present-day Vietnam. Champa early rice has the characteristics of early maturity and drought tolerance, and has played a positive role in solving the problem of feeding the people. Later, the Ming Dynasty Confucian Wang Fuzhi commented that this was a good thing for hundreds of years.

Empress Liu is very political, and she has thwarted several coups that tried to force her out of power. Renzong ascended the throne, according to the edict of Zhenzong, when she was just in charge of the country, a minister suggested that she sit in the side hall next to the emperor to work, she did not agree, insisted on sitting next to the emperor, in order to avoid the defense of men and women, there was a bamboo curtain in front of her, and the curtain listened to the government probably from her. The most rare thing is her wisdom, when she was in charge of the country, a courtier scolded her, and asked her to learn the story of Wu Zetian and become the emperor herself, she was so angry that she threw the song on the ground, saying: "How can I do this kind of thing to live up to my ancestors!" Thanks to the joke of "Tanuki for the Prince", everyone knows that Song Renzong's biological mother is Concubine Li, and Empress Dowager Zhang Xian is the bad guy Queen Liu in the play. But in fact, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian is not only not an adulterous concubine, but is smart and agile and quite politically minded. She sat behind Song Renzong as a matter of course and listened to politics for 11 years. is really the second Wu Zetian, and women do not lose their eyebrows.

Looking at their glorious experiences, I looked around at my empty bedroom again, and I was very disappointed. I can't stay here anymore, count the days, and I've been in the imperial dining room for more than ten days, but I still haven't found anything, although Xiaofei and they didn't call in, I know that they must be in a hurry, they can't wait any longer, we have to find a way to go to the imperial study quickly, otherwise we will lose all our efforts, and our success will fall short. Ziyue, hurry up, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tomorrow-
