The Birth of Zhao Zhen

On April 14, the biggest happy event between Zhao Heng himself and the Song Empire came - the emperor had a son!

Zhao Heng had five sons before, but they all died prematurely. At this time, his sixth son, Zhao Shouyi (the future Song Renzong Zhao Zhen) was born. Zhao Hengji was 43 years old this year and he really had a middle-aged son.

Officially, Zhao Shouyi's mother is Liu E, who is 44 years old. But there is something else about this...

Zhao Heng truly loves Liu E and has wanted to make her the queen for many years. But she always has two fatal injuries that cannot be compensated for: 1. Origin and 2. No fertility.

Regarding first, Zhao Heng forged files more than once to legally improve her status. He said that her family was originally from Taiyuan, and her father and grandparents were senior generals of the Five Dynasties. It was the war that caused her to be freed to Sichuan. But who believes it?

Next, given that Zhao Heng had five sons, his health must be healthy. The problem lies with Liu E himself... But a truly strong life will never have the word "impossible". Wasn't Zhao Shouyi born? Although who is the real "child's mother" is still in particular...

Song Renzong's real biological mother was actually a 24-year-old maid named Li next to Liu E. The one named Concubine Chen was named Concubine Chen the moment before her death... But Liu E had such ability, everyone knew it, but no one dared to say it. The only time was the year when Concubine Li Chen died in 1032. The then prime minister Lu Yijian dared to face the then Empress Dowager Liu at that time and pointed out bluntly... The next year, when Empress Dowager Liu Liu died, someone told the truth to Song Renzong at that time (of course this person was not Bao Zheng. There has always been a legend about "the raccoon cat for the prince" for this story. It is said that Liu E exchanged a dead raccoon cat for the son born to Li. Later,

This strange case was found out by Kaifeng Prefecture Bao Zheng. Emperor Zhao Zhen then took back his suffering mother. This was all fabricated by opera novels. There are also sayings that this story was fabricated to actually satirize the origin of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. Because the biological mother of the orthodox emperor who was defeated in the Battle of Tumu Fort and was captured by his opponent, the historical books only recorded the "one palace man" without any explanation. Later, the nine emperors from Chenghua to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty were all descendants of Zhu Qizhen, and they were all in a mess, with few good emperors. Later generations compiled the story of the Song Dynasty's "Cat Fighting Prince" to satirize Zhu Qizhen as a wild breeder)

In May, there was civil strife in the Goryeo Kingdom. After the death of the sixth king, King Chengzong, Wang Song, his nephew Wang Song succeeded the throne, but Wang Zhi had a favorite concubine, Huang Fu, who committed adultery with Jin Zhiyang to have a son. After that, two people plotted day and night to ascend Wang Song to the throne with this son. At this time, Wang Song consuled his brother Xun, the king of Daliangyuan, was jealous of Huangfu Consort, and forced him to become a monk. He sent someone to become a monk. He also sent someone to assassinate him. At this time, Wang Song was seriously ill and was not left with a foreign surname in the empire. He secretly summoned Cai Zhongshun and passed on the will to establish Wang Xun. Cai Zhongshun sent someone to welcome Wang Xun into the court, and found a military general named Kang Zhao to the capital. Kang Zhao led his troops to Dongzhou, and his subordinates Wei Cong and Cui Chang advised Kang Zhao to "now the king is resuming.

We should leave slowly to observe the incident." Kang Zhao's father wrote a secret letter in the imperial capital of Kaijing (now Kaicheng, North Korea), and hid it in a bamboo stick. He asked someone to shave his hair and become a monk. He rushed to his son to report the news that the king has passed away, and he quickly raised his troops." Kang Zhao Xin thought it was true and led 5,000-armor cavalry to the starry night. When he arrived in Pingzhou, he knew that the king Wang Song had not passed away, so he couldn't help but be discouraged. At this time, his subordinates advised him not to do anything. So Kang Zhao became ruthless and deposed Wang Song to the Duke of Letter, so he assassinated Wang Song in Jicheng County. He killed Jin Zhiyang, exiled Huangfu Concubine, and supported Wang Xun as the 8th generation king of Goryeo. He became the Xijing (now Pyongyang, North Korea) and left behind.

Since Xiao Hengde attacked Goryeo in 992, King Zhi of Goryeo apologized for his crimes, and Wang Zhi was enthroned by the Great Khitan in 995, Goryeo has been a vassal state of the Great Khitan. Now such a serious civil strife has occurred in the vassal state. Of course, the Emperor Shengzong of Liao, who had just taken power, would not sit idly by. On the 28th, he ordered the preparation of the Eastern Expedition.

In June, 1,290 people from Hezhong Prefecture jointly requested Zhao Heng, the Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, to go to Fenyin to worship. On July 24, more than 30,000 people from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty submitted a report three times.

Sacrifice to Fenyin is actually the "Zen land" ritual corresponding to the "Fengshan" of sacrifice to the heaven. More than 2 years ago, Zhao Heng went to Sheshou Mountain to worship the land during the Fengshan period of Mount Tai. However, Fenyin is very close to the "Sacrificial Land", and it is only true. Because Emperor Wu of Han obtained a treasure tripod there, built the Houtu Temple, and went to sacrifice in person. From then on, it became a routine...

On August 1, Zhao Heng issued an edict next spring, when the earth recovered, he went to Fenyin to personally worship Houtu. On the 2nd, Chen Yaosou and Li Zongyan were appointed as the chief and deputy sacrificial envoy of the Fenyin Jingshi. On the 4th, he ordered Chao Jiong, Yang Yi and others to formulate a ceremony for the sacrifice ceremony.

On the 8th, the emperor and his close ministers were studying in Longtu Pavilion. The emperor was reading the "National Economy Book of Yuanhe (Reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty)" Ding Wei, the envoy of the three departments, took the opportunity to say, "During the Tang Dynasty, the Jianghuai River transported 400,000 rice every year. Now it can transport 5 million rice every year. The national treasury is full." The emperor was overjoyed, "This is a blessing from the ancestors of heaven and earth, and it is also the power of his beloved ministers."

On the 21st, Emperor Saint of Liao, Yelu Longxu, with his younger brother, King Chu, stayed in the capital and led an army of 400,000 to personally conquer Goryeo.

On September 10, the Great Khitan conferred Li Deming as King of Xia.

On October 13, Ding Wei was ordered to be responsible for the supply of food and grass along the way to the Fenyin sacrifice land. On the 15th, Ding Wei presented 50 volumes of "The Legend of Dazhong Xiangfu Fengshan" to Zhao Heng personally wrote the preface and hid it in the Secret Pavilion.

On November 10, the Liao lord's personal army crossed the Yalu River. Kang Zhao was defeated and retreated to Tongzhou. On the 11th, Kang Zhao divided the troops into three pieces, formed a formation across the water, defeating the Liao army, and then underestimated the enemy. Unexpectedly, he was successfully attacked by Yelu and Lu. Kang Zhao and his deputy general Li Li were captured. The Liao army chased for dozens of miles and beheaded more than 30,000. On the 13th, Tong, Huo, Gui, and Ning all surrendered. Xiao Pai'ao defeated the Goryeo army at Nugudaling. On the 16th, King Xun of Goryeo sent an envoy to surrender and promised him. With Ma Baoyou, the turtle was the chief and deputy, Kaijing was left behind, and Yilin led 1,000 troops to escort Ma Baoyou.

Ren. At the same time, Lu Yan and Liu Jing were sent to the Xijing of Goryeo to persuade the surrender. The Goryeo Guard had already written a surrender form, but Cai Wen, the reinforcements sent by Wang Xun, arrived. The surrender form was burned and the envoy was killed. The envoy was killed and he wanted to defend the Xijing. At the same time, the Goryeo General Zhuo Sizheng also killed 10 envoys sent by the Liao lord to persuade the surrender, and defeated Ma Boyou. Yilin led his army to attack, and Zhuo Sizheng fled to Xijing. The Liao lord was furious and personally led his army to attack Xijing. On the 5th, Xiao Paoya led his troops to attack Kaijing, the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom. Wang Xun, the King of Goryeo, abandoned the city overnight and fled. Xiao Paoyao burned the capital of the Beijing, and chased to Qingjiang and returned.

In December, Sun Shi submitted a memorial, analyzing 10 unreasonable manifestations of sacrifice to heaven and earth from the perspective of a feudal scribe and criticized the auspicious incidents that were surging in the Song Dynasty. However, the emperor ignored it. On the 12th, former prime minister Xiang Minzhong was appointed as the one who stayed in Tokyo.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1011), the Liao Lord ordered his troops to be sent to Gaoli, and he surrendered to Zhucheng and rebel again.

On the 11th, Zhao Heng personally rehearsed all the rituals of the land sacrifice ceremony in Chongzheng Hall.

On the 15th, the Liao army returned to the Yalu River. On the 16th, the queen and his brother Yelu Longyou welcomed the Liao master in Laiyuan City.

On the 23rd, the vast sacrificial brigade walked out of Kaifeng. He came to Baoding County on February 13th. He fasted on the 14th. On the 17th, the "Fenyin Sacrifice Land" ceremony was completed. The scale and ceremony were the same as the Fengshan Mountains in Mount Tai more than two years ago. On the 18th, the world was amnesty.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, worshiping the earth, and ancestors... Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, then went straight to the tomb area...

On March 6, the prime minister of Liao Kingdom and King Yelu Longyun of Jin (i.e. Han Derang) died of illness. At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao died of illness less than 16 months. Before his death, he recommended Yelu Shiliang.

On the 11th, Zhao Heng went to the home of the top scholar Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng to visit his illness and asked Lu Mengzheng which son he wanted to recommend. Mengzheng replied, "All ministers have no talent. Only the minister's nephew Lu Yijian is the prime minister's talent."

On the 23rd, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng personally paid tribute to the Anling of his grandfather Zhao Hongyin, the Yongchang of his uncle Zhao Kuangyin, and the Yongxi Mausoleum of his father Zhao Guangyi.

On the 26th, the Liao ruler appointed Yelu Shilu as the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, and King Han. Yelu Shiliang as the King of the Northern Court. Liu Shen was the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court.

On April 1, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty returned to Kaifeng. On the 24th, Lu Mengzheng passed away.

On May 22, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, issued an edict to grant the title of emperor to each of the five mountaines. He ordered Xiang Minzhong to enthrone the Five Mountains and go to pay tribute.

On March 20, the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1012), King Yelu Longyou of Chu was transferred to King Qi and stayed in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo. On April 3, King Xun of Goryeo sent Cai Zhongshun to submit to Liao and asked to pay tribute to the same vassal as before. The Liao lord ordered King Xun to come to pay his respects in person.

On May 11, Liu E was named Concubine De.

In August, the younger brother of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, Yelu Longyou, King of Qi, passed away. On the 24th, King Goryeo sent land to worship him in Liao, saying that he could not pay tribute to him. The Liao lord was furious and ordered to take back the Yalu River east of the Goryeo Kingdom that was given more than 9 years ago. It was originally the six states of Xinghua, Tong, Long, Tie, Guo and Gui in Jurchen.

In September, Wang Qinruo showed his might and overwhelmed many people in a row. The first one to suffer was Zhao Anren, the deputy prime minister of the political affairs. One day, Zhao Hengchun came out of the harem with pride and went directly to the East Mansion to find the prime minister. The question is very cliché: How can Liu E be the queen? Unfortunately, the political affairs hall was quiet that day. Prime Minister Wang Dan took sick leave, and only Zhao Anren was on duty. Zhao Heng asked: My dear, think about it, how to operate this matter? Zhao Anren shook his head directly, "Liu is from a humble family," It is not appropriate to be a queen. Shen is the daughter of Chen Yilun, the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Please consider it. It is perfect for her to be a queen." Zhao Heng was depressed. Could it be that Liu E really had no queen's life? One day later, Zhao Heng and Wang Qinruo chatted with Wang Qinruo and talked about who could be the elders of the ministers in the court. Wang Qinruo replied, "Zhao Anren. He used to be a disciple of Prime Minister Shen, and he still has never forgotten his old virtues and often wants to repay his kindness." Zhao Heng became angry when he heard this! He deceived the emperor in person and his crimes were unforgivable! Zhao Anren's assistant to the government affairs were then dismissed!

The second one was spoofed by Prime Minister Wang Dan and Hanlin Scholar Lee Zong-he. Wang Dan was serious about Li Zong-he's work and outstanding business, so he wanted to promote him to be the deputy prime minister of political affairs. The report was filled out and he was waiting to be submitted when he went to court tomorrow. But Wang Qinruo, who knew everything, knew about it, knew that the matter was found on that night. Wang Qinruo, "Master, you will make a bet, Li Zong-he will make a fortune, but in fact, Wang Dan will make a fortune, but the truth is that the emperor, you are going to lose money..." The super tongue twister made Zhao Heng a little confused. Wang Aiqing, what are you doing? Wang Qinruo explained, "Li Zong-he owed Wang Dan a lot of money and could not repay it at all, but Wang Dan was in a hurry to use the money, what should I do? So Wang Dan wanted to use his power to promote Li Zong-he to double his salary, wouldn't it be easier to repay the money? But in the end, you are the one who suffers..."

Zhao Heng took a deep breath and waited for the morning court the next day. Sure enough, Wang Dan really handed over the promotion report. The consequences were very serious. Wang Dan's impression score was deducted a little, but he was not afraid because the score was too high, but Li Hanlin's dream of prime minister was stranded and he lived in the Hanlin Academy from then on. What was particularly terrible is that the vacant position of the political affairs of the magistrate who was not always empty, and one person had to go to work. In this way, good luck fell out of thin air and was obtained by the original three officials. Ding Wei. The key step for Ding Dateng to be promoted from a plan to the East and West governments was so easy...

In July, Ding Wei was appointed as the Chief Minister of Political Affairs. The three envoys were Linte, another of the "Five Ghosts".

To sum up, what are the benefits of these things to Wang Qinruo? What did he get by overthrowing Zhao Anren, spoof Wang Dan, destroying Li Zongyan, and even making Zhao Heng fool? Looking back on history, he got nothing, or became his Privy Councilor, and Ding Wei was never his person. This exposed his deepest essence - harming others and not being selfish! He was happy as long as others were uncomfortable. How exciting and exciting it was to work hard for others' pain!

On the night of October 8, Zhao Heng had a dream again. He dreamed of the immortal brother who came to preview when the "Shistoric Book" came. "I have sent your ancestor Zhao Xuanlang to come down to earth to meet you today. You must worship him like the Tang Dynasty worshipping Emperor Xuanyuan (Li Er). The next night, the gods continued to pass the message. This time it was Zhao Xuanlang himself who said, "I want to sit in a seat facing west and east, and place 6 seats diagonally." Zhao Heng was very happy. It was obvious that the ancestor was very open in the sky, and the 7 gods descended to earth together, which was great! So he opened a temple in Yan'en Hall in the palace.

In the early morning of October 24, an exciting moment finally appeared, and the gods descended to earth! The golden light in the southeast was dazzling, and the strange fragrance filled the temple. First, the guard of the gods descended from the sky. Zhao Heng came down to pay homage. In a ball of yellow fog, Zhao Xuanlang dressed like Yuanshi Tianzun... and 6 gods took their seats together... The grandparents and grandchildren met, and they were very intimate. Zhao Heng was given a seat and was given a drink of white jade soup to talk about life with the gods. Zhao Xuanlang "I have descended to earth three times, the first time was one of the 9 emperors, and the common ancestor of all the people in the surname Zhao. The second time I descended to earth was Xuanyuan Huangdi! You all read "Records of the Grand Historian" and thought the emperor was the son of Shaodian? Wrong! That was me born by Shaodian's wife in response to the heaven and earth! The third time I descended to earth was in the Later Tang Dynasty, that is, Zhao Kuangyin." After talking to each other for a long time, the gods soared into the sky...

Comparing the Tang and Song dynasties, it is clear who is higher and lower. For various reasons, Li Shimin added the most unfathomable generals in the history of Chinese civilization, including the founder of Taoism, Emperor Xuanyuan of the Tang Dynasty, Laojun of the Taishang, and Laojun of the Emperor of the Li family in Longxi. But everyone knows that it is equivalent to rape Laojun, and Li Er did not agree in person!

But the Song Dynasty was different. Who could witness his ancient ancestors with his own eyes? And even chat with tea? What’s more important is that in Zhao Xuanlang’s words, the Zhao family’s origin was ten thousand times higher than that of the Li family! My Zhao family was the reincarnation of Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan! That was the ancestor whom all the descendants of Yan and Huang all recognized in the nine continents, along with the Huns, Xianbei and other foreign races, and all the descendants of Yan and Huang! No tablet can surpass Zhao Heng anymore, and it is truly unprecedented! Unless you dare to claim that you are the reincarnation of Pangu God who created the world!
