Renzong respected literati very much.
Chinese officials accounted for a large proportion of court officials.
Among the eight famous essayists of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "Six Schools of the Song Dynasty" Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and Zeng Gong all lived in the Renzong period.
The Song Dynasty also produced many famous officials in Chinese history, such as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Bao Zheng, Mei Yaochen and so on.
Song Ci also shined brilliantly during the Renzong period.
Su Shi's bold and unconstrained style and the graceful style of Ouyang Xiu, Liu Yong, etc. are rare in all dynasties.
Shen Kuo, a Jinshi in this period, was a erudite and talented scientist, and his book "Mengxi Bi Tan" is famous all over the world.
Among the several great inventions in ancient China, movable type printing, gunpowder and the compass all appeared in the Renzong period.
During the Renzong period, the world's earliest banknote "Jiaozi" also appeared.
Paper money is easy to carry and circulate. Its production is a great progress in the history of currency, and it is also a manifestation of economic prosperity at that time.
Renzong was good at promoting talents, but there were also many disadvantages.
Each imperial examination enrolls thousands of people, and the number of officials more than doubled during Renzong's reign.
In order to defend against foreign invasions, the number of troops increased from 40 during the Zhenzong period to more than 80. The increase in personnel led to a financial crisis in the country.
In order to solve this contradiction, Renzong increased taxes again, and social contradictions became increasingly prominent.
In order to alleviate social conflicts, Renzong adopted the suggestions of Fan Zhongyan and others and carried out reforms.
However, these reform measures harmed the interests of the nobles, and were strongly opposed by the conservatives, coupled with natural and man-made disasters such as peasant uprisings and locust plagues.
The battered Renzong turned against the New Deal and demoted the reform leaders Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others to other places.
Renzong had no heirs in his life, and it was not until 1062 that he reluctantly made his cousin the crown prince.
After that, he continued to live a life of dancing and writing.
In March 1063, Renzong died of illness at the age of 3.
Song Renzong reigned for 1 years, the longest among the two Song emperors.
He had a bumpy life experience, was once confused, and because of "kindness", he bowed his head to foreigners for peace, which brought heavy taxes to the country and the people.
Although he did not do any grand events, he provided a stage for all kinds of talents to display, and the culture flourished unprecedentedly during his reign.
His brief reforms did not change the declining trend of the Song Dynasty, but he won the hearts of the people with "rule of benevolence".
In the history of China, Song Renzong can also be regarded as a relatively virtuous emperor.
Great Qin.
"Renzong Zhaozhen "is a king, stops at benevolence" is the emperor who governs the world with "respect, thrift, benevolence and forgiveness"."
"When Renzong died, the people mourned and burned incense to commemorate it. It is said that the entire capital city was shrouded in smoke."
"Even the people of the Liao Kingdom were very sad, so that "Yanjing no matter how far or near, everyone cried, which is enough to prove his virtuous name." "
"I didn't know the military revolution for 42 years, and even the emperor of Liao Dynasty missed that time very much."
"Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen, deserves to be called Renjun through the ages."
After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the video, he couldn't help sighing.
Big man.
"To put it simply, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, as the monarch, knows the difficulties the country is facing and has the intention of reform, but he lacks the means to promote reform, no determination, and even less ruthlessness."
"As an individual, he is indeed generous and benevolent, accepts advice with humility, respects scholars, has a great literary style in the government and the public, and has a large number of famous officials, who are considerate of the people and even servants. The reputation of benevolence actually moved the enemy country."
"But he is not just a "person". The emperor's standards are civil and martial arts, whether he can make the people rich and happy, whether he can control the power and enforce orders, whether he can cut down powerful enemies, and whether he can expand the territory."
"Therefore, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, as the emperor, can't be called stupid, nor can he be called a virtuous person, but he is much better than a bunch of useless bastards."
After watching the video, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, commented.
Chapter 74 Ten Outstanding Emperors No.6
Datang.
"In the end of Renzong's reign, the phenomenon of "redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses" was not solved. However, during his tenure, the politics were relatively clear, the people lived affluently, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and science, technology and culture also made great progress."
"Especially his personal charm has been recognized by the people all over the world, so he can be regarded as a very successful emperor!"
Tang Taizong Li Shimin said.
Ming dynasty.
"Song Renzong died of illness. After the news came out, the capital went to the streets and cried for several days. Even beggars and children burned paper money and cried before Da Nei. Even people in remote mountainous areas mourned Renzong's death!"
"Song Renzong became the emperor to this point, he can also be called "the one who has never been seen before"!"
After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang watched the video, he said aloud.
Song.
"Eternal Renjun, this is too much of an award, I can't be worthy of it."
"Unfortunately, although I want to revive the power of the Great Song Dynasty, but the weak soldiers are cowardly, and they are not opponents of foreign races at all. I regret this life."
"Furthermore, I am more than merciful, but not courageous enough. I cannot be ruthless and suppress the forces that form parties in the court for self-interest, which makes the implementation of the new law fail."
"All of this has left a lot of hidden dangers for the demise of the Song Dynasty in later generations."
Song Renzong Zhao Zhen couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this, and said in a low voice.
At this time, the picture in the video fell on Song Renzong.
"Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, in terms of ability, he is not as talented as Song Taizu, and in terms of learning, he is not as versatile as Song Huizong."
"However, in terms of his reputation before and after his death, he was the best among the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty. He reigned for 42 years, governed with ease, and was gentle and kind."
"He put the word "benevolence" throughout the whole process of governing the country and securing the country, thus creating the prosperous era of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty."
"Therefore, Heaven rewards, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, during his reign, good weather for 20 years, sweet potato breeding, potato breeding, increase lifespan by 200 years, Yue family army [-], Yang family army [-], resurrect generals Yue Fei and Yue Yun, resurrect generals Yang Ye and Yang Zaixing."
After Chen Feng's words fell, a golden light landed on Zhao Zhen's body.
Immediately, Zhao Zhen's silver hair turned black at this moment.
