Self Rescue of the Faint King

Zhao Heng Extra Story

Song Qinzong Zhao Heng reigned for one year and two months. He was indecisive, capricious, and lacked judgment and sensitivity to political issues.He was a cowardly and incompetent emperor in history. He was captured by the Jin people and went north during the Jingkang Incident. He suffered from severe wind disease (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, Li Zhi suffered from this disease and was unable to manage the court, and the Wu family was in charge of the government.), and was not good at equestrianism.

Song Qinzong had only been in power for more than a year, but he paid homage to 26 prime ministers like a lantern.Among them, Geng Nanzhong, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao and others had a key influence on the crisis.Some of their important strategies to save the country were not adopted by Song Qinzong, but some important strategies to harm the country were adopted by Song Qinzong, which shows the character of this person!

Zhao Hengsheng's mother is Queen Wang, and as the eldest son, his status is not insignificant.Zhao Heng was born in April of the third year of Yuanfu, and Zhao Ji had the eldest son three months after he succeeded to the throne. The government and the public were delighted.

However, this person is obviously not so lucky. His biological mother has an average appearance and a frugal temperament (if he didn't have this quality, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to become Princess Duan. The most important quality of the Song Dynasty royal family is frugality, and they are often courtiers. Most of them have no place to spend and put on ostentation everywhere, but the emperor is not. He has to figure out every penny spent, which is really hard work.)

According to Zhao Ji's flirtatious and charming temperament, he is also a young man of literature and art, how could he like such a princess?

Poor family members of the Wang family, De Rong's performance is not bad at all, but he only ends up being treated like an old lady. Thinking about it, I feel unwilling.

Wang, a native of Kaifeng, whose father is Wang Zao, governor of Dezhou.In the second year of Zhezong Yuanfu, 15-year-old Wang married Zhao Ji, who was still King Duan at that time, and was named Mrs. Shunguo.

In the second year of Chongning, the Wang family gave birth to the second daughter of the emperor, Rongde Emperor Ji Zhao Jinnu (that is, Princess Chongguo, Princess Yongqing, and Princess Rongfu).Unfavored and high on the queen's position, she was falsely accused of having ambiguous behavior.The stunned Zhao Ji took this as the truth, and ordered Zhou Ding, the servant of the punishment department, to set up a secret prison to investigate.As a result, after checking and checking, there was no truth, and the poor queen could only swallow her anger after suffering such shame and humiliation.Zhao Ji, who knew he was wrong, was moved with compassion and began to feel affection for her.

In October of the second year of Emperor Huizong's Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty (Wuzi, 1108 A.D.), Wang died of illness at the age of 25. He was posthumously named "Empress Jinghe".

The eight-year-old Zhao Heng and the five-year-old sister became motherless children, and the queen and queen were not favored. In this palace where the high and low were pushed down, the lives of Zhao Heng, mother and son can be imagined.

However, with Wang's presence, Zhao Heng and Zhao Jinnu still had some protection. Unfortunately, Wang's was trampled to death early.

The strife in the harem is not something two children can handle. Although Zhao Heng is the eldest son, no one will directly kill him, but one can imagine how Zhao Heng's life is going.

His temperament is cowardly and his health is not good, which seems to be a matter of course. If he was born without education, Zhao Heng can grow up smoothly. I really don't know if it is God's blessing.

Although Zhao Heng is the eldest son, he is not happy with Zhao Ji.Zhezong had no children, which made it easier for Zhao Ji. Of course, he didn't want his position to be cheaper for others after his death.Zhao Ji, who has an heir, still had a little love for Zhao Ji at the beginning.

But soon, that will no longer be the case.Zhao Heng's temperament is completely opposite to Zhao Ji's. Zhao Ji is flamboyant, loves luxury, and respects Taoism. Zhao Heng is just the opposite, frugal and cautious.

Zhao Ji had many children in his life. There were 31 sons alone, and 25 adults. Among them, his third son, Zhao Kai, was his favorite.

Zhao Kai's biological mother, Wang Shi, was the female official next to the Empress Dowager Xiang Shi, and after Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, she became Zhao Ji's bedside person.

However, compared to the other Zheng family, Wang family was favored for a short period of time. Before Zhao Kai was ten years old, Wang family fell out of favor.

However, Zhao Kai was smart since he was a child, and he especially liked painting. Later, he was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The father of a literary youth has a like-minded son. How can Zhao Ji not be happy?Father and son are similar, and the son is like the father. Thinking about it, I feel proud.

Moreover, this prince is considerate. He himself likes to paint, and naturally he also likes to collect famous masterpieces. Every time he gets something good, the first thing he thinks about is giving it to his royal father.

Another quality, filial piety!

As a parent, who doesn't like to have a filial son?

However, Zhao Ji's preference for Zhao Kai is not limited to this. Although Zhao Kai is talented, it is not so earth-shattering, and even his achievements in painting are not as good as Zhao Ji.

However, this does not hinder Zhao Ji's eccentricity. This person not only participated in the imperial examination and became the number one scholar (Kangxi went to the imperial examination, but it was just a prospect), and was also awarded a real position by Zhao Ji.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was a rule that "the clan does not take office", but Zhao Kai was an exception: "'King Jia sent the imperial city secretary to clean up the forbidden guards, and also mentioned the inner east gate, Chongzheng Palace and other gates.’ From then on, throughout Huizong’s reign, he promoted this division for a term of 10 years.” Thousands of guards and detectives with different titles, such as personal servants, marriage officials, inner sons, etc.)

This move was considered to be Zhao Ji's paving the way for his son. One can imagine the mood of Zhao Heng who was in charge of the East Palace at that time.

In the fifth year of Zhenghe, the 16-year-old Zhao Heng was named the prince by Huizong according to the usual practice, and entered the East Palace.But even so, his situation did not improve much.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin people went south, and Prince Zhao Heng was granted the post of Kaifeng Mu, guarding the capital.As for Huizong, he was in a hurry to leave Kyoto and head for Zhenjiang.

However, after the efforts of Li Bangyan and others, Huizong finally chose inner Zen, and passed it on to Prince Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng ascended the throne and changed the name to "Jingkang".Cai Jingdang was killed, and Li Bangyan successfully became the prime minister, which is a reward.

After Zhao Heng became emperor, the relationship between father and son deteriorated completely. The country cannot have two masters. There are two emperors. Obviously, the emperor does not want to let go of the power in his hands, and the new emperor does not want to be a mascot without power.

Both father and son wanted each other to die. After assuming the throne, Zhao Heng refused Zhao Ji's proposal to leave Kaifeng. The father and son almost tore their faces apart. Zhao Ji even prepared poisoned wine and wanted to kill his son, but he failed.

The history of the struggle between father and son for power and profit is called "Jingkang internal strife". The current national crisis, father and son are busy with this kind of thing, and the final result can only be said to be their own fault.

After the Jingkang Incident, the father and son suffered great humiliation, but in terms of trying to survive, the father and son both had a fight, and they always had extravagant hopes in their hearts, hoping that one day they could return to their homeland.

However, even after 20 years of torture, his dreams still did not come true and he died of a foreign race.

After lingering until now, once he died, Zhao Heng was finally freed. The Hunde Gong Zhao Heng died, and Zhao Gou, who was far away in Lin'an, was very sad on the face, but what about his heart?

It's going to be so cool, isn't it?

The dead Zhao Heng woke up again and discovered a horrifying fact that he seemed to have returned to the past.

To his shock, this place is still the Great Song Dynasty, and this place is still where his emperor father is the emperor.

However, the situation is very different from what I have experienced.

Today's father is not the foolish and fun-loving person in his impression, but replaced by a strong and capable Mingjun.

This style is wrong!

But Zhao Heng couldn't care about those anymore, mainly because he was only three years old now, and his loving and depressed mother was still alive and by his side.

Deeply hiding his depression and doubts, Zhao Heng carefully observes the world while enjoying the long-lost maternal love.

Of course, he got to know his father emperor on the sidelines.

Everyone just regarded it as the crown prince's act of worshiping the officials, and they didn't have any suspicions about a three-year-old child.

Yes, three-year-old Zhao Heng is already a prince.This is different from becoming a prince after ten years of panic, and another ten years of panic before becoming emperor in a hurry.

There are so many different places.

The queen mother is pregnant again. If there is no accident, the mother's belly is her own sister.

Zhao Heng sat obediently beside Queen Wang, holding the snack in both hands, thinking in his heart.

Only by staying by the side of Queen Wang, Zhao Heng will behave like a child.As for other times, those who serve the palace always feel that His Highness seems a little gloomy these days.

Zhao Heng has reached the age to be enlightened, but something different from his previous life appeared again. He was not enlightened by the palace servants, but his father personally taught him hand in hand.

Although he is a child in body, he is an adult in mind after all. Zhao Heng learns quickly, with high efficiency, and almost has a photographic memory.

The officials seemed to be very happy that the prince was early, but they were careful not to tire him too much.Moreover, in the prince's schedule, there is also a special time for playing and playing.

It is said that this was also drawn up by the emperor himself, and little Zhao Heng has been following this routine since he was a child.

Zhao Heng felt very uncomfortable. When he was young, who wouldn't worship his father?But he never disliked his father's heart, and never looked at him directly, even though he was the crown prince, but when his father entertained the officials, only the third younger brother would be present, not himself.

Zhao Heng subconsciously repulsed his father's love and care. He was afraid that he would be abandoned again. That feeling was terrible.

Although Queen Wang is pregnant, she will not neglect her eldest son. She also knows that she looks ordinary. Although the officials seem to have changed their temperament in recent years, she is not special.

A large part of the reason for being able to gain a firm foothold in the palace is his son, besides, this son is still the prince now.

That's why she was very nervous about Zhao Heng, and would have to intervene at the slightest sign of trouble.

Zhao Heng's resistance to the officials these days made Queen Wang think that he didn't like to read and write. Children, it is understandable to have such a reaction.

However, as a prince, if there is a reputation that he doesn't like reading, Zhao Heng's future may be in doubt.

So Queen Wang wanted to chat with her son, and wanted to know what his son was thinking.

The mother and son leaned on the couch, chatting face to face.

Everything is normal, everything is beautiful, it seems like a dream, beautiful and unreal.

Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, is it a dream?

Is it true to borrow a dead body to resurrect the soul?

In the eyes of Queen Wang, Zhao Heng's appearance was just a child's heart.

After this conversation, Zhao Heng realized that his disguise seemed a little unsuccessful, so does it mean that the emperor can also see through his resistance?

This kind of cognition is really not good. Zhao Heng studies hard, but Yang Guang thinks that a child should be like a child, and often discourages him and asks him to play more. You know, the position of prince is the most difficult. Be careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

Enjoy a few years of life while you are young.

However, Zhao Heng hurriedly took the time to study, and the prince's reputation for intelligence soon became known to the public. How much of it was written by the queen, and how much was Yang Guang's acquiescence, Zhao Heng didn't want to explore.

Queen Wang's move to build momentum, Yang Guang, was nothing more than a smooth sailing, not as complicated as Zhao Heng thought.

Yang Guang also discovered Zhao Heng's maturity in some aspects, he just sighed, such aptitude is really a pity.

Yang Guang continued to build his great cause, and fought wits and courage with the courtiers in the court. The young Zhao Heng was authorized to appear in Yang Guang's study anytime and anywhere, and Zhao Heng could handle all the memorials.

Of course, the last one is regarded as the default, and it is not stated explicitly.

Following behind the emperor's father, watching him pointing the country, he was full of energy, and he couldn't get in touch with the faint and extravagant person in his memory.

Being young, Zhao Heng finally got the chance. When he heard the emperor's father explaining Zhuang Zi, he asked, do you believe in Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly?

He remembered that the emperor's father had a weird expression at that time, but it was fleeting, "If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it."

Although it was faint, but somehow, Zhao Heng heard the solemn meaning.

It is also understandable that although Confucianism does not agree with ghosts and gods, it still respects them.

Did the emperor mean the same thing?

Zhao Heng perfectly made excuses for Yang Guang, he was subconsciously perfecting Yang Guang!

Zhao Heng didn't notice it.

The Great Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous, the emperor's father did not lack both martial arts and martial arts, and Zhao Heng was also growing day by day.

After he was ten years old, Zhao Heng's curriculum changed a lot. From now on, he will enter the imperial court.

Entering the court at the age of ten sounds like a child's play, but when Zhao Heng came here, there was no objection at all, and it went smoothly.

As for the reason, Zhao Heng's own excellence and the majesty of the official family seemed to have gradually fallen into fanatical worship in the past ten years.

The official's personal prestige reached its peak, and Zhao Heng himself was impressed by his father's demeanor, let alone mentioning others.

Many times, Zhao Heng felt that what he had experienced was just a dream. Now that he woke up from the dream, he had grown from a three-year-old child to a ten-year-old boy.

It is not a simple matter to study in court. Yang Guang took the child he taught with great care and introduced him to the courtiers. shaken.

Fortunately, the prince is also excellent, otherwise, who knows if there will be any rumors.
