Song Renzong is the sixth son, formerly known as Zhao Youyi, and later renamed as. In February of the first year of Ganxing, Song Zhenzong died, and Song Renzong Zhao Zhen acceded to the throne. He was only 13 years old at that time.
At the beginning, due to her young age, the queen mother Liu E listened to politics. It was not until the death of Queen Mother Liu E that Zhao Zhen began to lead the government. After he came to power, he implemented benevolent policies, which enabled the Song Dynasty to recuperate and develop rapidly economically and militarily, and directly changed the poverty phenomenon before the Northern Song Dynasty.
Song Renzong also knows how to make good use of people. During this period, famous officials came forth in large numbers, the country was stable and peaceful, and the economy was prosperous. During this period, scientific development and cultural fields have also been well developed, and many inventions have been affecting the world today. For example, at that time, the world's earliest paper money-"Guanjiaozi" was issued, which affected the development of the whole world.
The requirements for cultural development are also very relaxed. For example, many people have a lot of bad opinions about his way of being a monarch, and he didn't stop them. If this kind of thing had been put in other times, I'm afraid it would have been beheaded long ago. On the other hand, Song Renzong can be indifferent to this. He is really a good emperor of the people. He also absorbed the essence of Confucianism and named it "benevolent government" as his political thought.
Song Renzong set an example all his life. He was indifferent and didn't like extravagant life. After his death, the whole Song Dynasty was very sad, and even the king of Liao at that time was very sad when he heard the news of Song Renzong's death.
