There is a story about recognizing mother because her biological mother was turned into her own child by her concubine Liu after giving birth. Song Renzong's biological mother is a maid in Song Zhenzong. Because Liu, her adoptive mother, was infertile, she asked Li, her biological mother, to serve the emperor and soon gave birth. From then on, Liu raised him as his own son.
Li's biological mother was unwell after giving birth, and Liu promoted her position, but her biological mother died soon. Liu felt a little guilty and was reburied. However, Song Renzong knew nothing about all this. It was very shocking that I didn't know that my biological mother was Li until my adoptive mother Liu died. At this time, someone told Song Renzong that the emperor's biological mother was killed by your foster mother, so Song Renzong had to find out the truth.
He personally examined the coffin of his biological mother, Lee, and saw that her dress was queen after her death. Song Renzong is convinced that her mother was not killed, but died of illness. Although Song Renzong knew that his own mother was buried after her death, he still felt very guilty. He wants to give her a birthright that she didn't get before her death. After some discussion in the imperial court, Song Renzong posthumously awarded her biological mother, Queen Zhuang Yi.
Is Song Renzong a good emperor?
During Song Renzong's reign, society flourished. Song Renzong was a good emperor because Song Renzong was kind all his life, and the way to govern the country was civil administration, so he didn't make any achievements in the construction of the national army. In the war, Song Renzong's army often lost the battle, so the question of whether Song Renzong was a good emperor appeared.
However, judging whether Song Renzong is a good emperor depends on Song Renzong's overall achievements. During Song Renzong's administration, a series of political, economic and cultural reforms were carried out in China, which made the society present a wonderful scene at that time. Economically, due to the very stable society and rapid economic development, jiaozi appeared in Song Renzong period, which was a more convenient way to exchange goods, which made the economy develop more rapidly. In terms of cultural construction, Song Renzong cares about the country's cultural undertakings, vigorously supports the construction of libraries, collates and collects ancient historical books, encourages people to donate books, and will give great rewards at the same time. This measure has greatly stimulated people's creative enthusiasm, thus making great progress in the development of cultural undertakings. Politically, Song Renzong further standardizes the selection of officials, has a strict assessment system for officials' achievements, strictly implements the proper way of selecting talents and appointing people, and attaches importance to national agricultural production.
In addition, Song Renzong has promulgated many measures to alleviate the pressure of people's lives, such as reducing corvees and strengthening the implementation of the policy of benefiting the people within the imperial court. These measures have promoted social prosperity and improved class contradictions. Through the analysis of Song Renzong's achievements, we can be sure that Song Renzong was a good emperor.
Brief introduction of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen
Zhao of Song Renzong was really the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty. During the reign of Song Renzong, the Song Dynasty developed greatly. After Song Renzong acceded to the throne, due to his young age, he could not handle some government affairs by himself, so the empress Zhang Xian handled government affairs in the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Song Renzong, he experienced the war between Song Dynasty and Xixia, which triggered the revival of Song Dynasty and the increase of currency.
Song Renzong was bent on greater development in the Song Dynasty, so he actively listened to the different opinions of ministers. Song Renzong will consider any opinions suitable for the development of the Song Dynasty. Finally, he accepted Fan Zhongyan and others' proposal to celebrate the New Deal, aiming at changing the backward and imperfect political and economic situation in the Song Dynasty. In North Korea, the scale of reform is huge and the effect is very obvious, but in the end, due to the opposition of some people, the reform cannot continue. This reform was carried out during Zhao Zhen's rule in Song Renzong. Although it failed in the end, it still achieved good results.
Under the rule of Song Renzong, the Song Dynasty made great achievements in politics, economy and cultural science. At the same time, he was the longest-serving emperor among all the emperors in the Song Dynasty, which left a deep impression on the people in the Song Dynasty. Song Renzong was very close to the people all his life, and his character was generous, kind and calm. No matter what happens, he will never show such joy or sadness on his face. He can control his personal emotions well, which is of great help to his rule. Zhao Zhen in Song Renzong has a wide range of interests, especially in calligraphy. He is good at calligraphy and has made great achievements in writing poems. Some of his personal works have been passed down to later generations.
Where is Song Renzong's tomb?
Most of the tombs of emperors in the Song Dynasty were concentrated in the southwest and northeast regions. Song Renzong's tomb is located in Yongzheng Mausoleum, which is a unique mausoleum in the Song Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, people built graves with popular brick walls, so in the Song Dynasty, their graves were relatively personalized. Zong Renzong's mausoleum still stands out among these personalized mausoleums, which shows that Song Renzong attached great importance to his mausoleum before his death. However, most royal families have built luxurious tombs for themselves, dreaming that they can still enjoy such dignity after their death. Comparatively speaking, Song Renzong's mausoleum can only be said to be an ordinary mausoleum.
Because of the individuation of Song Renzong's tomb, it is relatively easy to find it in the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty. Now it has also been developed into a tourist attraction and the only imperial tomb that can be visited. Song Renzong's tomb was developed not because later generations did not respect him. On the contrary, it is precisely because Song Renzong is a wise gentleman who is admired by later generations, so after the tomb was opened, a large number of tourists come here every year just to feel the breath of Song Renzong. It can be seen from here that Fan Zhongyan is right. Even after Song Renzong's death, he still lives in people's hearts.
Song Renzong's Tomb is located in today's Yongzheng Mausoleum, located in Xiaoyi Town, gongyi city. Starting from Gongyi Bus Station, almost all buses can reach Songling Park, where you can see Song Renzong's tomb. There are many related facilities around Song Renzong's tomb, and the price is also very suitable. Visitors can enjoy more comfortable hotels, cafes and other facilities here.
Who is Song Renzong's daughter?
Song Renzong has many daughters, but there are two distinctive features among Song Renzong's daughters.
First of all, your tenth daughter, Princess Lu, was born in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Princess Lu was 49 years old when she was born. Princess Lu died when she was four years old. After Song Renzong's death, the Song Dynasty was slowly dying. When Princess Lu was 67 years old, Jingkang changed. Although Princess Lu escaped the disaster because of her advanced age and became a princess of national subjugation, even so, Princess Lu lived peacefully until she was 86 years old and died. It can be said that she is Song Renzong's eldest daughter. Princess Lu is also a rare longevity princess in the history of China.
Secondly, I want to mention my eldest daughter, princess royal, whose mother is Dong. Princess royal leads a very plain life, and she never pursues a luxurious life. Even though she married a general, she still kept her old habits. Princess royal is very close to the people. When everyone was preparing for her birthday celebration, it coincided with the national drought. She felt that all expenses should be saved at this moment, so she canceled the birthday celebration, which made her deeply loved by the people. Unfortunately, princess royal died at the age of 24.
Apart from these two daughters, Song Renzong's daughter has no detailed historical records. The main reason is that most of Song Renzong's daughters died young, such as the daughters of Empress Wencheng and Song Renzong, Deng Guofei, Zhen Guofei and Princess Tang Guo.
