Zhao Zhen had a generous disposition and was not extravagant. He was also able to restrain himself and treat his officials and attendants generously. [69] But the late Ming and early Qing thinkers Wang Fuzhi In... Treatise on Song Dynasty Zhao Zhen was considered "undetermined". During Zhao Zhen's thirty years in power, Two prefectures More than forty ministers have changed, but they have repeatedly advanced and retreated. Even if the sages were in office, they could not be satisfied with their positions, nor could they use their talents and make achievements. In this way, "the officials are not fit to defend and the people are not fit to follow", so that the people below feel at a loss, and as a result, nothing can be done. [15] [121] Imperial concubine CAI Xiang He once said that he was "lenient and seldom broken". At the beginning of the Qingli reform, CAI Xiang and others had reminded Zhao Zhen to "accept the remonstrance, listen to the remonstrance, and use the remonstrance... May Your Majesty look into it, so that it is not in vain for the name of good counsel." [15]
The talents of Zhao Zhen Dynasty were second to none in the history of Song Dynasty. According to the statistics of some scholars, they are roughly as follows:
Active in the early period of Shenzong, Zhe Zong and even Huizong Cho 槩 , Wu Kui , Zhang Fangping , Tang Jie , Zhao Bian , Lv Ye , Fan Jin , Zeng Gongliang , Wang Anshi , Sima Guang , The works of Lv Gong , Lv Gongbi , Lv Dafang , Lv Huiqing , Zeng Bu , Zhang Dun , Han Jiang , Hanwei , Han Zhongyan , Fu Yao-yu , Peng Ruoli , Fan Chunren , Fan Chunli , Liu Zhi , Wang Yansu Such a group of talents, in fact, are Zhao Zhen once raised.

Ouyang Xiu and others also put forward their opinions one after another, and Zhao Zhen adopted them and gradually promulgated them and issued them throughout the country. Because the New Deal violated the interests of the aristocracy and bureaucrats, it was blocked by them.
At the beginning of the fifth year of Qingli (1045), Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, etc., were excluded from the court one after another, and all reforms were abolished, and the New Deal was a complete failure. Although the reform failed, it was later Wang Anshi's reform It has played a leading role in asking the way. [17]

The Song Dynasty spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of silk pieces, and a large number of other items each year in exchange for peace with Liao and Xia. However, what became a major political and economic crisis in the early years of the Qing calendar (1041-1048) was called Triple redundancy (" Redundant officials "" pleonads "Redundancy fee"). [26] During the reign of Zhao Zhen, the number of troops was particularly serious, and the total number of troops in the country was 1,259,000, accounting for seven tenths of the tax. After the end of the Song and Summer Wars, it was slightly reduced, and it remained at more than 1.1 million people. Huge military spending accounts for most of the country's total income. "Redundant expenses" refers to the emperor's various sacrificial activities, the construction of Buddhist temples and temples, and various rewards and so on. [26]

The birth mother controversy

Subject article: Leopard cat for prince
Portrait of Zhao Zhen
About Zhao Zhen's life, the Qing Dynasty novel" The Three chivalrous and the five righteous There is a saying of "leopard cat for prince", that Liu's ( Zhang Xianming Su Empress ), Li Shi (Empress Zhang Yi, i.e Li Chenfei ) in Emperor Song Zhenzong At the same time pregnant in his old age, in order to compete for the right palace, the scheming Liu replaced the son born to Li Shi with a skinned leopard cat, stigmatizing Li Shi gave birth to a demon. Emperor Zhenzong was furious and sent the Li family into the cold palace, and made the Liu family empress. Later, the son born to the Liu family died, and the boy born to the Li family was Zhao Zhen, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. in Bao Zheng With the help of Zhao Zhen, he learned the truth and recognized the blind Li, but Liu, who was promoted to Empress Dowager, hanged himself and died. Since the Song Dynasty, the mystery of Zhao Zhen's birth mother has become more and more vivid due to the interpretation of various artistic forms such as novels and dramas. On the question of "whether Zhao Zhen is the son of the true emperor Liu, or the biological son of the concubine Li", whether it is a novel or a drama, almost everyone agrees that Zhao Zhen is born of Li.
In the historical records, Li Shi was the concubine of Liu Shi when he was a concubine, and later he was favored by Emperor Zhenzong, became a concubine, and gave birth to a baby boy. Even lost a number of children of the true Zong middle-aged son, naturally overjoyed. After Zhao Zhen was born, he was brought up by Liu and Yang Shufei with Zhenzong's acquiescence. Afraid of Queen Liu's power, Li did not dare to express any dissatisfaction. After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Liu became Empress Dowager Govern from behind a curtain Power is all over the place. Zhao Zhen grew up day by day in the shadow of his adoptive mother's power. When Empress Dowager Liu was alive, he never knew who the concubines were Confluent volume Lee is his birth mother. [116]
After the death of Empress Dowager Liu, the king of Yan Zhao Yuanyan Tell Zhao Zhen the truth. Zhao Zhen No. Mournful ruin, days do not look at the dynasty, under the confession of sorrow. Princess Zunchen is the Empress Dowager, posthumous title "Zhuang Yi". Zhao Zhen was shocked when he learned his story. He could not restrain the sadness of the heart, one side personally rode the ox cart to the Hongfu house where Li Fei's coffin was placed, one side sent troops to surround the house after Liu, in order to find out the truth and deal with it. At this time, Zhao Zhen not only learned his own life, but also heard that his birth mother had died unexpectedly, he must open the coffin to check the truth. When the coffin was opened, he saw a mercury soaked, healthy Li Fei lying peacefully in the coffin, her looks like life, gorgeously dressed, Zhao Zhen sighed: "Can you believe what people say?" Immediately ordered the dismissal of the soldiers surrounding Liu's house, and burned incense in front of the portrait of the Empress Dowager Liu, saying: "Since today, the Empress has lived a clear life." The implication was that Empress Dowager Liu was innocent and did not murder her mother. [118]
Li's title was not given until his death. After Li's death, Empress Dowmother Liu initially wanted to keep it secret and prepare to hold a funeral with the usual palace etiquette. But the chancellor Lv Yijian Urge the power of the empress dowager Liu, in order to preserve the Liu family, you must bury Li Fei, Liu after this only realized the seriousness of the problem, decided to high standards for Li Chen Fei funeral. [117] Although the birth mother was buried, but it failed to dilute Zhao Zhen's infinite guilt for Li, he must let his mother enjoy the fame that he did not get before his death. After a fierce debate, the court finally listed the Guo family, the first empress of Zhenzong, in the imperial Temple, and built another Fengci Temple to worship the tablets of Liu family and Li family. Liu was posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhuangxian Ming Su, and Li was posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhuangyi. Zhao Zhen treated Li Shi with favor and worshipped his uncle Li Yonghe For the letter of the military, the inspection of the school, the reward is rich. Later, more nostalgic Li Shi, he tried his best to show kindness to his mother's family and put his eldest daughter Princess Falcon I married the son of Lee Yong Hwa Li Wei . [118]

Be kind and generous

There are many anecdotes about Renzong's kindness, generosity, and frugality. Although they are not without an archery effect, they also reflect the light and shadow of history. [69]
One day, Zhao Zhen retired to his bedroom, because his head was itching, he took off his hat and crown without taking off his imperial robe, and asked the combing eunuch to come in and comb his hair for him. When the eunuch combed his hair, he saw a note in Zhao Zhen's arms and asked, "What note did Your Majesty receive?" Zhao Zhen said that the retainer suggested reducing the number of ladies and attendants in the palace. The eunuch said, "Even in the family of the minister, there are all Kabuki dancers, and once they are promoted, they will have to be added." His Majesty's staff is not very large, and it is rather excessive for them to suggest that they should be reduced!" Zhao Zhen has no interface. The eunuch asked again, "Is your Majesty prepared to take their advice?" Zhao Zhen said, "I will certainly take your advice." The eunuch, who believed that he had always been favored by Zhao Zhen, said discontented: "If it is adopted, please use the slaves as the first person to be cut." Hearing this, Zhao Zhen suddenly stood up, called the chief eunuch to come in, checked according to the roster, and cut the 29 palace officials and combing eunuchs out of the palace. Afterwards, the queen asked, "The hairdressing eunuch has been Your Majesty's confidant for many years, and is not a redundant person, why should he be cut down?" Zhao Zhen said, "He advised me to refuse the official's honest advice. How can I keep such a person around me?" [125]
Imperial censors Wang Su Once advised Zhao Zhen not to get close to women, Zhao Zhen replied: "You are Wang Dan Son, I am the son of True Zong, different from others, since the family friend. Wang Deyong It is true that a beautiful woman has been brought to me, and now she is in the palace, and I am pleased with her, so let me keep her." Wang Su said, "I am giving you my advice today because I am afraid your Majesty may be seduced by women." When Zhao Zhen heard this, although his face was troubled, he ordered the eunuch to say, "Each of the women sent by Wang Deyong, give them 300 yuan, send them away from the palace at once, and report back as soon as it is finished." After saying that, he also burst into tears. Wang Su said, "Your Majesty thinks that what my minister told you is right, and there is no need to do it in such a hurry." Since the women have entered the palace, it is better to send them away after some time." Zhao Zhen said, "Although I am emperor, I share the same feelings. If I see them crying and don't want to leave the palace, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to drive them out. You can wait here for the reward." Soon, the servant came to report that "it is done." [69]
Bao Zheng He repeatedly remonstrated and even spit on Zhao Zhen's face. But Zhao Zhen, while wiping his face with his sleeve, accepted his suggestion and did not blame him. On one occasion, Bao Zheng opposed the appointment of Renzong's favored concubine Zhang (i.e Empress Wen Cheng My uncle Zhang Yaozuo for Three chief envoy Zhao Zhen changed Zhang Yaozuo to be the control minister, and Bao Zheng opposed it more and more fiercely, leading seven famous officials and Zhao Zhen's theory. Zhao Zhen said angrily, "Do you mean to talk about Zhang Yaozuo? The ruler is a rough official, why do you want to fight?" Imperial censor Tang Jie More and more times to come forward, you are not rude to answer: "the ruler, Taizu, Taizong have done, I am afraid not rough official." Zhao Zhen terrified And finally adopted the advice of the official. [107] After he returned to the harem, Concubine Zhang sent eunuchs to inquire and learned that Bao Zheng violated Yan Zhijian. When Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, Concubine Zhang came forward and wanted to put in a good word for her uncle. Zhao Zhen wiped his face with his sleeve and said impatiently, "When Bao Zheng entered the temple today, his spit was splashed on my face. You only need to preach and preach, don't you know that Bao Zheng is the imperial historian?" [126] And Tang Jie's direct remending also left Zhao Zhen a deep impression, he secretly ordered someone to draw Tang Jie's portrait, hung in Wencheng Pavilion, and personally inscribe the text: "Right words Tang Jie." After the death of Tang Jie, Song Shenzong gave the portrait to Tang Jie's family, and the world learned about it. [127]
Zhao Zhen was kind to his servants. Once, he was eating a meal, suddenly ate a grain of sand, teeth a sharp pain, he quickly spit out, also do not forget to accompany the maid said: "Don't tell me that I have eaten sand, this is a capital crime." To treat the faults of his servants, Zhao Zhen first considered not his own discomfort and discomfort, but the guilt that his servants may bring.
Zhao Zhen was also more tolerant of scholars. During the period of Jiayou, Su Zhe In the exam paper, he wrote: "I heard on the road that there were thousands of beautiful women in the palace, and they danced and drank wine all day long. The emperor does not care about the sufferings of the common people, nor does he consult with his ministers on how to govern the country." The examiners thought that Su Zhe made false claims and maliciously slanted, but Zhao Zhen said: "I set up the imperial examination to welcome those who dare to speak." Su Zhe a small official, dare to speak out so, should be special and meritless."
Zhao Zhen Shangde suspended, encountered difficult cases, as lenient as possible, even for "inciting rebellion", can also be treated differently, distinguish between really want to rebel, or complain. At that time, there was a scholar in Sichuan who dedicated a poem to the Chengdu Taishou, advocating that "if the broken sword gate is burned in the stack pavilion, Chengdu will be a universe." The governor of Chengdu regarded this as a blatant incitement to rebellion and had him bound to the capital. According to the laws of the past dynasties, this person should be severely punished, but Zhao Zhen said: "This is an old scholar eager to become an official, write a poem to vent anger, how can he be punished?" Give him an official." Let it be One's family joined the army . [123]
It is said that the poet Liu Yong Because the words in the poem "endure to put the superficial name, change the shallow pieces and sing" offended Zhao Zhen, it was crossed out in the imperial examination, so he rebutted, saying that he was "written by purpose." [122] . But in fact, Liu Yong was a member of the Song Zhenzong generation, and by the time Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he had been defeated three times. In the first year of Jing You (1034), Zhao Zhen ruled by himself, out of sympathy for the elderly examinees, the Special Kaien Section relaxed the criteria for the admission of those who had fallen in the previous section [78] Liu Yongcai was able to become an official. Therefore, Liu Yong loved Zhao Zhen very much, and made a "wish for years to come, and always look on the chariot of heaven" to praise him.

Be diligent and thrifty

Song Renzong did not like beading
Zhao Zhen was not only kind to others, but also very strict with himself as the Supreme Ruler of the ninth Five-Year Plan. His food and clothing were very simple, and history records a lot of stories about his self-discipline. [128]
One morning, Zhao Zhen told his minister about insomnia and hunger last night, and wanted to eat roast mutton. The minister asked him why he did not issue a decree to take the rope, and he replied: "Every time there is a palace ban to take the rope, the outside is customized." I'm afraid I'll have to kill sheep and kill pests every night after that." [69]
Once, Zhao Zhen was taking a walk, and he looked back from time to time, and his entourage did not know what the emperor was doing. After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhen anxiously said to the concubine, "I am very thirsty, please pour some water." The concubines felt strange and asked Zhao Zhen, "Why did Your Majesty not ask his attendants to serve him with drinking water when he was outside, instead of tolerating thirst?" Zhao Zhen said, "I looked back many times, but I didn't see them preparing a kettle. If I had asked, someone would have been punished, so I swallowed my thirst and came back to drink again."
Once, in the early autumn, the official offered clam . When Zhao Zhen asked where he got it, his minister replied that it was shipped from a long way away. And when he asked how much he wanted, he answered, twenty-eight pieces, each worth a thousand. Zhao Zhen said, "I have often warned you to save money. Now it costs me 28,000 to eat a few clams. I cannot eat them!" He did not eat. On another occasion, Zhao Zhen woke up in the morning and said to his attendants, "I was very hungry last night. I could not sleep and wanted to eat a burnt sheep." The squire asked, "Why doesn't Your Majesty issue a decree to order your officers to buy it?" Zhao Zhen said, "If I open my mouth, it is better not to open my mouth because it is my order to disturb the people."
Baishi had asked the Qing Dynasty to expand the Yuan Lin, but Zhao Zhen said, "I think the garden of the former emperor is wide, why is it?" Shortly before Zhao Zhen's death, Under the Chinese book , Privy Council Have been Hall of Forning In the West Ensemble, I saw that the bed curtains and bedding used by Zhao Zhen were plain and gray, and they had not been replaced for a long time. Zhao Zhen looked at Prime Minister Han Qi and others and said, "I live in the palace, and enjoy my daily life just like this." This is also the blood of the people, can you waste it?" [75]

Spoiled queen concubine

Zhao Zhen
As early as the death of Empress Dowager Liu, there was already a great conflict between Zhao Zhen and the Empress Dowager, especially in his own marriage, Zhao Zhen obviously felt the Empress Dowager's imperiousness. Zhao Zhen first fell in love with the daughter of Wang Mengzheng, who was not an official but was rich. Lady of the Republic ), had mentioned the matter to the Empress Dowager Liu, but the arbitrary Empress Dowager simply ignored, on the excuse that the woman surnamed Wang was "too glamorous, afraid of disadvantaging the little Lord", and insisted on this "beautiful girl" to marry Liu Mei Eldest son Liu Congde . Liu Mei is the Empress Dowager's ex-husband, silversmith Gong Mei. This marriage did great harm to Zhao Zhen.
After Zhao Zhen's favorite girl was promised to Liu Congde, the Empress Dowager also prepared to marry the 15-year-old emperor as soon as possible, and selected several status girls to enter the palace as empress candidates, including the late Zhongshu Order Guo Chong Granddaughter of the Kwok, the late Primus General Zhang Mei Great-granddaughter Chang's ( Zhang Meimei ). At that time, Zhao Zhen met Zhang at a glance. Originally, whoever the emperor chose could be made empress, but Zhao Zhen's will was once again blocked by the Empress Dowager. It turned out that after examination by the Empress Dowager, she thought that the Zhang family was inferior to the Guo family, and without consulting Zhao Zhen, she took it upon herself to choose the Zhang family as a talented person and made the Guo family Empress. After the death of Zhang Cairen, who was "a late beauty", Zhao Zhen posited her empress, while Empress Guo was still on the throne, which was the first time that two queens had died during Zhao Zhen's reign). [86-89] This decision once again made the young Zhao Zhen suffered a heavy blow, and then caused the emperor's indifference to the main palace for a long time, and directly led to the storm after the abolition.
Empress Guo With Empress Dowager Liu as her patron, she did not know how to be humble and tolerant, but also gradually developed the character of arrogance and self-indulgence. After the death of the Empress Dowager, she still did not change the old habits, still followed the rules of the Empress Dowager, monopolizing the harem. However, Zhao Zhen tried to get rid of the influence of the Empress Dowage. one of the important changes was that the concubines gained favor in the harem. The two beauties most favored by Zhao Zhen at that time were Shang and Yang. Still beauty's father was granted an official, the grace of the city, caused the jealousy of Guo, several times and Shang conflicts, Shang naturally also in front of Zhao Zhen denigrate the queen. Once, Shangshi in the face of Zhao Zhen ridicule after Guo, after Guo angry, come forward to slap Shang's slap, Zhao Zhen ran over to persuade the fight, a slap fell on Zhao Zhen's neck. Zhao Zhen was furious and made the eunuch Yan Wenying Come to the prime minister Lv Yijian To let him "examine" the scars is actually to seek support for them after they have been disused. Subsequently, Zhao Zhen issued an eddecree, saying that the empress had no son, was willing to be a Taoist, and had a special seal on the pure concubine, Yujing Chong Miao Xianshi, renamed Jing Wu, and did not live in the Changning Palace. Once this edcript was issued, the court broke down, and even triggered the unprecedented event of the Taiwan Remonstrating officials collectively remonstrating in front of the emperor's bedroom. Guo was defunct, nominally because she had been unable to give birth to a royal son for a long time, but in fact Zhao Zhen vented her dissatisfaction with the late Empress Dowager.
Grace of Light Queen Cao Empress
After Empress Guo was deposed, Zhao Zhenjean Song Shou In the draft of the post-abolition imperial edict, there is the phrase "when seeking virtue, to correct internal governance", which means that a noble woman is selected from a well-educated family. Although Empress Dowager Liu is no longer alive, Zhao Zhen has also been in power, but he has not been able to achieve his wish on the issue after the election. At that time, he brought a woman surnamed Chen to the palace, and quite won the favor of the Renzong. Chen is the daughter of a tea merchant in Shouzhou, his father got a small official by donation, not a noble family. Song Mauritius said, "If Your Majesty takes the position of the lower one, won't it run counter to what was said in the imperial edict the day before?" Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Shu Mi deputy Zezi Others have also persuaded that Yan Shiliang, the eunuch responsible for supplying Zhao Zhen, was quite trusted by Renzong, and he also advised Renzong not to marry Chen. In this way, under the repeated persuasion of the people, Zhao Zhen had to set up another palace and reluctantly named the first general of the Song Dynasty Cao Bin The granddaughter was elected queen.
Because of this, Zhao Zhen did not seem to be very satisfied with the marriage, after Guo died, Zhao Zhen issued a decree to reinstate her as empress, and Empress Cao reigned at this time, which was the second time that two queens had died during Zhao Zhen's reign. [83] After entering middle age, Zhao Zhen's favorite woman was Zhang Mimei. Although she was named Empress after her death, she was no less powerful than Empress Cao. Concubine Zhang is a native of Luoyang, and her ancestors are Wu people. Wu Yue After the Song Dynasty, his family moved to Henan. Unfortunately, his father, Zhang Yaofeng, died soon after, and his mother took her daughter with her as a song-and-dance girl at the palace of the eldest Princess of the State of Qi. The eldest princess saw that the little girl was clever and lovely, and called her into the palace for pleasure. At that time, she was only eight years old and was raised by the palace man Jia Jia. After a palace banquet, Zhao Zhen took a fancy to the favor, and became a concubine in the eighth year of Qingli (1048). In just a few years, the Zhang family rose from the bottom concubines to the highest rank of concubines, just a step away from the empress, we can see that Zhao Zhen has a special love for her.
On the eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Huangyou (1054), the thirty-one-year-old Concubine Zhang died of a sudden illness. Zhao Zhen felt the tenderness and kindness of Zhang Guifei before his death, and said to the left and right with great sorrow, when Yan Xiu and others launched the palace rebellion, Zhang Guifei came out to protect himself regardless of his own safety. The world drought, in order to share his worries, is Zhang Guifei, in the palace stab arm bleeding, writing prayers for rain. With the support of the eunuchs on the left and right, Zhao Zhen finally decided to use the empress's gift for the funeral of Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang, who had dreamed of ascending the empress's throne all her life, finally put on the empress's funeral gown after her death and enjoyed the worship of her family and ministers. Fearing opposition from the ruling and opposition parties, Cho announced on the fourth day of the funeral that he would posthumously title Empress Chang and award the posthumous title of Wen Cheng. Empress Cao of the main palace was alive, but after another book of the concubine, there was once again a death of two queens in a lifetime, such a thing of etiquette, unheard of. Taiwan remonstrance continued to play opposition, Zhao Zhen ignored. In order to his beloved woman, Zhao Zhen ordered the suspension of the court for seven days, the capital "ban music for one month", the only activity of the capital is to Empress Wen Cheng Raise a mourner. [76] Soon after the death of Concubine Zhang, his mother, Empress Cao of Chu, also died, and Zhao Zhen still dropped out of court for three days and visited his home to pay his respects. [77]
It is true that Cho Jeong has been pursuing the book twice for the two most important women in his life, his birth mother and his love wife, despite huge criticism from both the government and the public. Similarly, Zhao Zhen, who knows people and is good at his duties, will give considerable trust to his favorite subjects, whether they are civil ministers or military generals, and this trust is also honest. However, the shadow of his mother's presence in the early years and his unhappy marriage created his weak, melancholy and uncertain character, making it difficult for this trust to stand the test of vicissitudes of life.
