In the huge picture of the sky, Zeng Juxian's comments continue!
[Although Song Renzong is a benevolent monarch, his flaws and faults cannot be ignored. He is in poor health, has an extremely cowardly personality, and lacks aggressiveness. 】

[His 'benevolence' should be small benevolence but not great benevolence, even the benevolence of women. 】

Song Renzong couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Small benevolence without great benevolence? A woman's benevolence?"

He always thought that he was benevolent and benevolent to the people of the world, but how did he end up with such an evaluation?

[About Song Renzong's benevolence, there are too many in the history books. 】

【He ate sand while eating, and he didn't make a sound, so as not to punish the maid. 】

[One time when he was dealing with government affairs, he was busy late at night, tired and hungry, and suddenly wanted to eat mutton. He resisted it and dismissed the idea.The next day, he told the queen about it. 】

[The Queen said, since His Majesty wants to eat, let the Imperial Dining Room prepare it, why hold back? 】

[Song Renzong said, I only have occasional appetites. 】

[If I ate mutton soup last night, the imperial chef would slaughter it every night, forming a rule, and the number of slaughters in the future will be uncountable. 】

[I can't bear to create such a bad example with a bowl of food for me, and to harm living things.And they are busy until late at night, I may not eat it anymore. 】

[One autumn, some officials offered clams.Song Renzong asked where he got it, and his ministers said it was shipped from afar. 】

[Song Renzong was a little unhappy, and learned that 28 coins are needed, and each coin is the backbone. 】

[Song Renzong said angrily, I often warn you to save money, now it costs [-] yuan to eat a few clams, I can't eat them. 】

【He didn't eat either. 】

[One time Song Renzong took a walk, and looked back from time to time, and the accompanying officials, court ladies and eunuchs didn't know what it meant. 】

[Song Renzong returned to the harem, and immediately shouted that I was thirsty, please pour water. 】

【The concubine finds it strange, why does His Majesty not allow his followers to serve drinking water when he is away, but endures thirst instead. 】

[Song Renzong said, I turned my head frequently, but saw that they didn't prepare a water bottle, if they asked, they would definitely be punished, so I had to endure it. 】

[After Song Renzong died, the people in Bianliang City, even beggars and children, cried bitterly. 】

[When the news reached Luoyang, the people of the city automatically closed the market to mourn, and the smoke from burning paper money filled the sky above Luoyang City, so that "the sky was dark." 】

[Even in remote mountainous areas, there are countless women mourning wearing paper filial hats. 】

[This news spread to the Liao Kingdom, 'people in the Yan territory cry no matter how far or near'. 】

[Yelu Hongji, Emperor Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, was also taken aback. He wailed bitterly and said, 'I didn't know the military revolution in 42 years. ']

【He also said: 'I want to build a tomb for him to express his grief. ']

Ying Zheng said: "It is extremely rare for an emperor to win the support of all the people in his country."

"What's more, even the people and the monarch of the enemy country are extremely admired, which is even more difficult!"

"Throughout the ages, how many emperors have been able to do this?"

"This Song Renzong is already a rare benevolent monarch in the ages!"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and others couldn't help being extremely puzzled.

For an emperor to gain such a great reputation, it is already at its peak.

But why does Mr. Zeng Juxian seem to be quite disapproving of this?
They all know that Zeng Juxian has unique insights, and he must have his own reasons.

Zeng Juxian took a panoramic view of the reactions of the emperors and smiled slightly.

[Such a benevolent monarch is one of the few in the thousands of years of history. 】

[As long as Song Renzong can achieve this level, many emperors must die without regret. 】

Countless emperors from all over the world could not help but nod their heads.

[Song Renzong's 'benevolence' is nothing more than that!There is little benevolence, but no great kindness! 】

[The "three redundant" problems of redundant officials, redundant staff, and redundant soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty were already very prominent during the Song Renzong period. 】

[Song Renzong has already realized this problem, and he and some upright and knowledgeable ministers decided to eradicate this malpractice completely. 】

[Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and other ministers, with the support of Song Renzong, made drastic reforms. This is the Qingli New Deal. 】

[However, because the reform touched the interests of the dignitaries, Song Renzong could not withstand the pressure of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchu Dynasty, and the vigorous Qingli New Deal failed completely. 】

[Song Renzong was cowardly, with soft ears. Seeing that most of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty opposed him, he no longer insisted on his own opinion, and Fan Zhongyan and other top heroes were also excluded from the court. 】

[Song Renzong has not taken any measures to implement the New Deal since then, but barely maintains the rule and is content with the status quo. 】

[I won't let the giant ship of the Northern Song Dynasty sink in my own hands. 】

[And when Song Shenzong came to power, the empire was already riddled with holes, and it was time for it to be destroyed. 】

[Although he and Wang Anshi's reforms are booming, at this time the reforms have lagged behind. 】

[Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, nor is the accumulation of chronic diseases in a day. 】

[Song Renzong's period was the best time to solve the "three redundancy" problem. At that time, all kinds of disadvantages were like "Xiaohe just showing its sharp corners". Before it became a serious illness, it was easy to completely eliminate it. 】

[During the Song Renzong period, the number of troops was already in the millions.If 60 people are cut, the burden on the people of the world will be greatly reduced. 】

[Even if the saved taxes do not increase the welfare of the people, the national treasury is also enriched. 】

[National power has increased! 】

[You can even show your ambitions. 】

[This is the real kindness and mercy! 】

[This is millions of times better than Song Renzong's reluctance to eat clams, ignorance of mutton, silence after eating sand, and worrying about the punishment of court ladies? 】

[Song Renzong paid [-] yuan to eat clams, but Song Renzong turned a blind eye to the tens of millions of copper coins used to raise soldiers every year? 】

[Does it hurt? 】

【Your so-called little benevolence and kindness, don't mind! 】

Song Renzong blushed.

He always thought that he was a benevolent monarch, but he didn't expect that he would be so unbearable after being skinned by Zeng Juxian.

Emperor Wu of Han couldn't help but nodded.

"Mr. Zeng Juxian is right, true kindness is to have the world in mind!"

"Song Renzong's kindness is really not worth mentioning!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Little kindness like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon! Song Renzong's ability is limited, and it is very rare not to become a faint king."

No matter how Song Renzong heard it, he didn't think it seemed like a compliment to himself.

[Unfortunately, Song Renzong backed down when encountering obstacles from his officials. The Qingli New Deal was completely aborted, and this opportunity was missed in vain. 】

[As a majestic emperor, in the face of big right and wrong, great kindness, and great love, he has nothing to achieve. 】

[And the so-called benevolence that is obsessed with trivial matters is really putting the cart before the horse! 】

[It is precisely because Song Renzong sat idly by on the issue of the three redundant issues that it snowballed like a snowball. 】

[By the time Song Shenzong ascended the throne, the Great Song Dynasty had already reached a critical moment. 】
