The emperor of the Song Dynasty grasped his rights most subtly. He separated a part of the imperial power for the literati to check and balance, and at the same time made the literati subject to the imperial power, so that the state rights were balanced at an appropriate level. At the same time, in order to prevent the excessive power in the late Tang Dynasty from reappearing, the Song Dynasty paid too much attention to the military power and the power of generals, which made the literati rise from it. This was also the root of the prevalence of the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty was a moderate Song Dynasty.
Song dynasty was the dynasty that recruited the most soldiers in the past dynasties, but it was unable to cope with the war against Liao and recapture the lost sixteen States, and was forced to send heavy troops to guard the border. Therefore, the Song Dynasty was a cowardly dynasty. It is said that the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty was due to the development of industry and commerce, which made the industry and commerce of this dynasty develop very rapidly. However, the development of industry and commerce has led to the destruction of the small-scale peasant economic system and serious land annexation, and many people have to come to business to support their families. This is the Song Dynasty.
It was such a dynasty that many famous emperors were born, among which Song Renzong was the most merciful.
Song Renzong-Zhao Zhen, the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Renzong was kind by nature, generous and kind to people, and his joys and sorrows were not reflected in his appearance. He was an emperor who used his whole life to explain what benevolence was, and even the later Emperor Kangxi Qianlong admired him. Although he did not have any grand feat of external expansion during his reign, he protected the mountains and rivers handed down by his parents very well.
He was in power for decades, and he was generous to his subordinates and let the people recuperate, which made the Song Dynasty reach a peak of development. Song Renzong knew how to make good use of people, so during his reign, many famous ministers came out, the country was stable and peaceful, the economy was prosperous, and science, technology and culture developed greatly. During the reign of Injong, the government officially issued the world's earliest paper money? Official communication? (relative to? Personal friends? In terms of).
The emperor had considerable measurement and consideration for others, which was rare in feudal times. Therefore, historians are used to praising him as? Be a wise Lord? .
Ren? , has always been the highest ideal of traditional politics, before Song Renzong, no emperor can? Ren? Posthumous title or coronation? Ren? Although not many people like to be victims of war, people are always willing to remember those emperors who can fight and forget Renzong. Ren? Governing the country? Merciful Lord? .
Song Renzong is also a clever man. During his reign, he fully demonstrated his wisdom. Song Renzong and his scholar-bureaucrat collaborators built a harmonious humanistic society for the Northern Song Dynasty? Extremely prosperous The arrival of the times. Made an important contribution.
Qingli New Deal, a policy of benefiting the people, was greatly impacted and obstructed, so it ended in failure and was a complete failure. But on the other hand, it also shows the wisdom of Renzong. Before things got out of control, Song Renzong stopped the reform in time and pulled back from the cliff.
Although the reason for stopping the reform is ridiculous, he has to do it. If he is as indecisive and ambiguous as Zongshen was in power, only people will be left in the end. The failure of the Qingli New Deal also made him temporarily put down the idea of innovation, because he knew that if the reform continued like this, the court would be unstable and foreign enemies would surround him, which would affect the foundation of the country.
At the same time, for the benefit of the country, he also decentralized Fan Zhongyan, a fellow teacher and friend, and drove him out of the central government. Even though he knew that Fan Zhongyan was a loyal minister who could not form a party and that he was a minister who helped the world, he was helpless, which was his helplessness and necessary sacrifice as an emperor.
1063 On March 29th, 54-year-old Song Renzong died, and people inside and outside the Song government cried and the whole country mourned. Is it recorded in the history of Song Dynasty? After the news of Injong's death came out, when the news of his death reached Luoyang, the citizens stopped to mourn, and the smoke burning paper money filled the sky above Luoyang City, so that? There is no light in the sky? .
His death even affected remote mountainous areas. What is even more incredible is that an official went to Sichuan on business and passed by Jiange. He saw that the women in the ravine also wore paper mourning hats to mourn the emperor. After giving Liao the obituary of his death, he appeared? People in Yanjing cry no matter how far or near? The scene.
After learning of his death, Zong Hongji, the monarch of Liao State recorded in historical books, was very surprised. He rushed up to grab the hand of the envoy of the Song State and said with tears: I didn't know military reform for 42 years? And said:? I'm going to build a monument to him to show my condolences? . After that, Emperor Liao? Being an ancestor? .
Song Renzong has been serving the country and people all his life. During his reign, the social economy of the Northern Song Dynasty developed greatly, the country was peaceful, the economy was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Originally, such a prosperous time was enough to support an emperor's luxurious life, but under such circumstances, Song Renzong advocated frugality instead of indulging in pleasure.
He devoted his life to his country and tried his best to realize it? A gentleman stops at benevolence? The emperor.
