Although there have been many mediocre emperors in history, there are also some enlightened monarchs who rule the world with benevolence and are highly admired by the people. There was such an emperor in the Song Dynasty. His kindness moved the world and even when he died The emperor of the Liao Kingdom cried for him, and because of his promise to his concubine, Bao Qingtian's face was sprayed with drool, and he did not dare to wipe it off, showing his generosity. The emperor
was Song Renzong. During the Renzong period, the Song Dynasty developed rapidly, and the earliest paper currency "Jiaozi" appeared. GDP can be said to be the world’s top, accounting for most of the world. Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng, Fu Famous ministers such as Bi were from that period. There were a lot of talents at that time, and the court was mostly a very upright minister, but Renzong's reforms were also short-lived and the opposition was too strong.
The entire Song Dynasty is a history of struggle between the two major forces of reform and conservation. There were also many struggles between the two major forces during the Song Renzong period, and there were even more Shenzong behind. Renzong ruled the world with benevolence. At that time, neighboring countries all respected him. After his death, the whole country cried. Even the emperor of Liao State cried when he heard the news. It shows Renzong's personality charm.
There are still some stories about Renzong’s benevolence and generosity. Once Renzong was walking, he looked back every few steps, so many times in a row, when the person next to him asked him what was wrong, he didn’t say anything, and went back to the bedroom. The post-eunuch asked Renzong about this matter. Renzong said, "I see why there is no palace lady to bring water to drink after so long, but I couldn't say at that time, if you say it, the palace lady in charge of this matter will be dead." Kindhearted.
And another thing is related to Bao Qingtian, an upright official in history. At that time, Song Renzong loved a concubine, and this concubine always wanted to make her family magnificent. At this time, there was a powerful position in the imperial city. The concubine had been urging Song Renzong to give this position to his uncle, and Song Renzong had no choice but to agree to take this proposal to the court for the ministers to discuss.
Originally the emperor’s proposal, ministers generally did not dare to have any opinions, but Bao Qingtian was not an ordinary minister. When Song Renzong put the imperial concubine's uncle in this important position, Bao Qingtian objected on the spot because the uncle's ability was completely insufficient. Taking this responsibility, Song Renzong and Bao Qingtian had a big quarrel. When they were excited, Bao Qingtian slobbered on Song Renzong's face. When he met such fierce opposition, the matter had to be given up.
However, the saliva on Renzong's face was still afraid to wipe it. This was not because he was afraid of Bao Qingtian, but because of another purpose. Because he was afraid of the imperial concubine complaining that he did not do his best, Song Renzong walked to the imperial concubine with a drooling face like this. I have tried my best, you see Bao Zheng slobbered on my face", the imperial concubine sees things like this, and it's not good to mention his uncle in this official position.
