A good temper - let his subordinates spit on his face, and he always keeps his face unchanged. The minister whom he promoted himself would sit and listen to him even if he was sprayed like a chicken;
Be able to tolerate what ordinary people can't bear - let the ministers who are covered in sweat wander in front of them, and their faces remain unchanged. The ministers whom they promoted have to sit and listen to him after being exhausted by the smoldering brain;
I can put myself in my shoes for the sake of the servants - I was thirsty when I went out for a walk, but after looking at it several times, no one was reasonable to pour tea. So I didn't say a word and continued to remain calm. After returning to the palace, I became a thirsty person. I just didn't want the person responsible for making tea and pouring water.
Frugality - I ate fresh clams in the palace and asked the purchasing department how much it cost. When I heard the reply, I threw away the chopsticks. It was so expensive. I wouldn’t eat it anymore;
Good popularity - when he died, the news came out, and the whole world cried, from princes to beggars, and the news came to the allies of the Northern Dynasties. The Khitan emperor also cried, and even built a tomb in his own country for people to pay tribute;
Listening to advice - being respectful to the censors - Concubine Zhang's uncle Zhang Yaozuo was impeached by the censor. For the sake of the imperial concubine's face, Bao Zheng and Tang Jie joined forces to oppose it. Song Renzong returned to the palace to find Concubine Zhang to vent his anger: If you want your sister's governor, don't look at who is the censor?
Another time, I went back to the palace and told the favored palace servant that I wanted to lay off the harem. The palace maid asked if it was not possible. Answer: The censor said he wanted to lay off, how dare he not lay off? The palace servant acted angry and said he would lay me first, so he asked her to pack up the package the next day...
When talking about civil governance, it is quite good in civil governance and is very capable of winning people. The famous officials of the dynasty were Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Lu Yijian, Pang Ji, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, Lu Gongbi, Sima Guang, Han Wei, Han Jiang, Han Zhen, Zhang Fangping, etc. During his reign, there was an imperial examination that was enough to go down in history:
Among the examiners, there were famous literary masters such as Ouyang Xiu, Song poetry ancestor Mei Yaochen, Zhibaodan Wang Gui, Changxiaogong Fan Zhen, etc. The candidates were Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun, Wang Shao, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Zai, and Cheng Hao. Not to mention many, this list is amazing today, and behind them is the highest achievement of the literature, politics and even military of the Song Dynasty, which is naturally an indispensable contribution as selectors.
Besides, although he failed to expand his territory, he also prevented Li Yuanhao from becoming emperor in Western Xia and forced him to proclaim himself a foreign country; quelled the rebellion of Guangdong, Guangxi and Nongzhigao; suppressed the bandits such as Lun, Beizhou, and others. After a while, he also gave some money and "forced" the Khitan to give up his attempt to ask for the three passes, so that the Northern Dynasties would never invade the territory after their death.
If you ask who this great person is? That is the Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor highly praised by several teachers of Zhao Bing, he can be said to have grown up by listening to his very warm and close story. If he had not come for eight hundred years, he would have really regarded this ancestor who was an autocratic monarch but had various rare shining personalities as a role model to learn and worship.
Unfortunately, the benevolent and righteous king had already been completely wiped out on the Internet in later generations, as dark as coal balls. Zhao Bing saw it too much and believed it half-believing and half-doubting, especially after experiencing many political events after the Song Dynasty, he had already reached eight points. So it is too difficult to make him believe those chicken soup stories, but he is more convinced that there is a conspiracy inside.
According to common standards, the most important thing about evaluating an emperor's merits and demerits is whether he can effectively inherit power and ensure the stability of his rule. Everything else must be sidelined. Based on this standard, most of the leaders of the rebel army and the kings who died were at the level below the standard line. Even if they might be shocked at the time and even have a good reputation after death, they are still not a qualified emperor.
As the ruler of the preservation of success, Song Renzong had no problem above the standard line, but it was not only a passing thing to call him great, but also accused of boasting and raising him.
Renzong was in power for more than 40 years, and the country had nothing to do for a hundred years. He had great talents, but he had more military troops than his previous dynasties and could only defend his territory. His wealth was twice as high as the past. He still couldn't afford it. In the past, he could not follow the rule of Wen and Jing and left a rich treasury with enough soldiers and food for future generations. Later, he could not leave enough psychological shadows for the surrounding countries like Hongwu Yongle. Therefore, Song Renzong did not have great wisdom.
During the Renzong period, the economic and cultural development was developed, which was the old capital of the Xianping rule. His greatest creative achievement should be to reversal his father's exaggeration with his stepmother. Other achievements were mainly to be good at balancing all forces after middle age. However, it was precisely because of his indulgence that the three redundant issues of soldiers, personnel and expenses caused by the three redundant issues. During this period, the land was hidden and the land tax was reduced, and he could not help but feel guilty. I won't talk about it in military affairs, but he completely opened up the style of the Song Dynasty's despising military power.
To put it nicely, it is called governing without doing anything, to put it bluntly, this means not doing practical things! This point can be clearly seen in Renzong's ruling tendency. Between the bureaucratic class and the people, Song Renzong chose to please bureaucrats to maintain the status quo. Of course, this cannot be wrong. If the ruling class is self-imposed, it is the position of oppression and exploitation. Whether the exploitation is heavy or light or not depends mainly on the ruler's appearance and the development of social productivity.
There are also some things that cannot be put on the table. When he was in power, the palace was in a rebellion. He hid in the quilt of the imperial concubine and did not dare to come out. He actually brought the queen who came from the sect to suppress the rebellion with the eunuchs and palace maids. He was listless when he was in court, and was forced by the priest and the censor to send the two beauties to become monks. The concubines in the prime minister's family abused and killed many maids and were exposed. The Censorate wanted to punish the prime minister for his crime, so he came forward to mix it with him. A local official heard that a gang of robbers had passed through the border, but he didn't want to destroy them, but paid money to send them out. He was impeached and he came forward to mix it with him.
Now, if the above four points are enough to be evil, it is enough to be criticized. The emperor who has all four points cannot be called great no matter what, but he was given the posthumous title of Ren after his death, and "Ren" is the highest evaluation of the emperor - being a king is only about benevolence. This is easy to understand. Renzong is famous for his politeness and kindness to the bureaucratic class and scholars. In this way, it is a kind of interest to some extent, and he should repay his kindness!
For many years, the court officials had always wanted to train Zhao Bing to become a Renzong person, so that he could obey his mercy, but they failed. When the matter of "outside the internal control" was in Qiongzhou, the court officials did not think about it, but at that time, because they had to rely on him to solve the problem of financially, they had to compromise, and the two sides reached an agreement for this. Now that the territory has expanded and the tax has increased, he felt that he could get rid of his dependence on him, so the old thing was to borrow money from him when he needed money to achieve their ulterior motives...
The next day, Zhao Bing had breakfast and was reading books in the house. At about the time of the year, the small yellow gate that was on the front hall sent news, saying that yesterday, the craftsmen in the craftsmen had a conflict with officials from the Shangshu Province, and Ou injured many officials. This morning, the court sued the Queen Mother, and some censors wrote to impeach him for not following the system and wasting the state. Many people agreed, and the crowd was excited and demanded that the perpetrators be severely punished. The Queen Mother was furious and asked for arrest of Zhou Xiang, the chief craftsman and dozens of craftsmen, for fear that he would be asked to reply in a while.
Zhao Bing always acted in a plan before doing things. Since he dared to let someone take action, he was not afraid of them complaining, and he hoped that they would sue him. What he was afraid of was that they swallowed this silently. Therefore, when he heard that he had sued him, he breathed a sigh of relief, so he sat down and waited for the empress dowager to call him to the palace. As expected, a small yellow gate came to pass on oral orders to ask him to discuss matters.
"See the Queen Mother!" After receiving the order, Zhao Bing changed his clothes and headed straight to Wende Hall on a chariot. After entering the hall, he saluted him first.
"Let's flat!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" After Zhao Bing bowed, he looked up and looked at the empress dowager's face as heavy as water. He didn't even raise his hand. He thought he was really angry, so he stood up honestly.
"Long live, long live, long live, long live!" Zhao Bing stood still, and the ministers in the palace saluted and worshiped each other, shouting long live.
"All ministers are calm!" Zhao Bing thought that he had not been to court for half a year, but today he had the opportunity to accept the worship of everyone because someone impeached him. It's really a joke.
"Prime Minister Lu, the emperor has arrived, so you will preside over the charge!" Empress Dowager Yang still didn't look at Zhao Bing. After the ministers stood up, he turned to Lu Xiufu and said.
"I obey the order!" Lu Xiufu stepped out and said, "According to the words of the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Province, the craftsmen in the craftsmen kept dissuading this morning. Not only did they insist on entering the palace, but they also insulted several officials. In addition, the guards stationed at the palace gate also participated in it and detained officials of the Shangshu Province. Can Your Majesty know about this?"
"Oh, I don't know!" Zhao Bing pretended to be surprised.
"Your Majesty, you can be the craftsman in charge of the temple, Zhou Xiang, said that he was following His Majesty's oral order!" Lu Xiufu said again after hearing this.
"This is good. My wedding is about to be done, but the palaces have not been renovated and arranged. I am suing me to ask them to complete the work as soon as possible. Is there anything wrong with this?" Zhao Bing asked back after hearing this.
"There is nothing wrong with your order to supervise, but it would be wrong for them to break into the palace without following the order." Lu Xiufu asked again.
"Left Prime Minister, as I know, the gate of the city is guarded by the imperial guards, responsible for protecting the palace city, even if it is blocked, it should be the guardian's responsibility. When will it be the turn of the Shangshu Province to send someone to take care of it? Could it be that the rules have been changed?" Zhao Bing asked again without any rush and annoyance.
"This..." Lu Xiufu was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "I dare not move the palace ban without any action. It was because the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Province reviewed the cost of repairing the East Palace and found that there were any violations, so he ordered the craftsman workshop to be investigated temporarily. They were worried that they would not comply with the ban order, so they inspected outside the palace gate, but they did not intend to monitor the palace ban!"
"Oh, that's the case!" Zhao Bing nodded, but asked as if he felt something was wrong, "Left Prime Minister, the Secretariat is a foreign court, and the craftsmanship has always been introspective management, and the inside and outside have always been disobedient. It seems that they are not their turn to supervise. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Your Majesty, because the imperial court also needs to allocate funds to build the inner court, the Secretariat has the responsibility to find out the use of the funds!" Lu Xiufu said with politeness.
"No, no, why do I become more confused and complicated as I listen to it? I'll call the person involved first and ask what's going on!" Zhao Bing frowned and thought for a while.
"Okay, but the Shangshu Province and others were detained by the guards, and the craftsman and others were also detained by the Queen Mother!" Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment.
"Empress Dowager, I didn't understand the truth, so I was called to be questioned. I really felt confused. I asked the Empress Dowager to ask Zhou Xiang and others to go to the palace to answer correctly in order to find out the truth." Zhao Bing turned around and bowed to him.
"Yeah, the report is correct!" Empress Dowager Yang nodded.
"The Empress Dowager has an order, and Xuan Jiang acted as the supervisor of Zhou Xiang and other craftsmen. The Secretariat and the Guardians and other involved went to the palace to answer correctly and restore the truth!" Zhao Bing turned around and spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, what you did is a good thing. This is the memorial to impeach you by the Censor. Look!" Empress Dowager Yang pointed to several memorials on the case and said.
"I have disappointed the Empress Dowager, please calm down!" Zhao Bing quickly politely, while Dou Xing took the opportunity to ask someone to arrange a high case and put a seat to let the young emperor sit down to read the memorial. He thanked him up before he sat down. He knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager was obviously angry with him, but in fact he was still in his heart.
While watching the memorial to impeach him, Zhao Bing secretly looked at His Highness and ministers. He saw that Old Man Ying was stroking his beard and closing his eyes to rest; Wen Tianxiang was a little anxious and very impatient with it; Liu Fu was still smiling and whispering to Chen Zhongwei, the Minister of Personnel, beside him; while Jiang Yu was frowning and looked at him with concern; Zhang Shijie, Liu Shiyong, Du Hu, Han Zhen and other military generals seemed very uneasy, and several of them whispered softly, looking at him from time to time.
"Ni Liang, the chief magistrate of the Imperial Guard, and a group of people were waiting for the order to go to the palace!" Zhao Bing barely finished reading several memorials and heard Ni Liang start the memorial outside the hall.
"Xuan!" Dou Xing looked at the little emperor's wink and said loudly.
"I (the people) meet your Majesty, Empress Dowager, long live, long live, long live!" Then there were about thirty people coming to the hall, kneeling down and shouting. These people were either of low-ranking or white-headed men who didn't even have an official position. If they hadn't fought today, they would have never been able to go to the hall for the rest of their lives. They were all very excited and shouted with a trembling voice.
"Removing the shackles, untiing the ropes, and getting up to speak!" Zhao Bing saw that the craftsmen were all handcuffed and shackled, and the civil servants and yamen runners of the Shangshu Province were not much better. They were tied up in all kinds of colors. He raised his hand and said loudly.
"Thank you for your grace!" Zhou Xiang was still a little scared when he was taken to the hall. When he saw the little emperor, he immediately felt relieved and said loudly, and the others also thanked him in a mess.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates will also bring the guards guarding the east gate of the palace!" Ni Liang led a team of guards to the hall with weapons and arranged in two sides of the hall. The dozen soldiers in the middle were bare hands, so he walked to the little emperor and saluted.
Chapter completed!
