Song Renzong was kind by nature, and it is said that when he died, the emperor of the Northern Liao State also wept bitterly, lamenting that the two countries might have to meet each other again! In the Song Renzong dynasty, there were also many able military generals, such as Bao Zheng, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Di Qing, Fan Zhongyan, and others, who were committed to the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, and assisted Song Renzong in creating a rule of the world.
Emperor Renzong of Song had three empresses. The first empress was Empress Guo, appointed by her mother Liu E. Song Renzong did not like Empress Guo, but Liu E was too strong and had no choice but to accept this situation. At the same time, Empress Guo was born in a family family and had a good life, so she performed in the imperial palace. And Empress Guo, in order to compete for favors, prevented Song Renzong from finding other concubines. There is no doubt that Song Renzong was very disgusted with Empress Guo, but in the face of empress dowager, he did not depose Empress Guo but treated her in the cold.
After Liu E's death, Emperor Renzong of Song deposed Empress Guo on the grounds that she had no heirs. He originally wanted his favorite Concubine Zhang guifei to be the queen, but the Qunchen believed that the empress should be virtuous so that she could rule the harem. There was no way, Song Renzong could only choose the plain-looking Empress Cao. This is also a person he doesn't like! Although empress, Empress Cao was not favored by Emperor Renzong of Song.
For Zhang Guifei, Emperor Renzong of Song posthumously created empress after her death. In fact, although Zhang Guifei did not have the name of empress, she had the reality of an empress, and enjoyed the glory and wealth better than the previous two empresses. But even so, Song Renzong, who had three empresses and dozens of concubines, still failed to pass the throne to his son! Why? Couldn't Song Renzong do the things of Dunlun?
In fact, Song Renzong was a normal man, he had a total of 3 sons and 13 daughters, but unfortunately all his sons died prematurely. The elderly Song Renzong was very worried about the matter of his heirs, and he once ordered that as long as a concubine could give birth to a son, he would immediately become an empress! But none of them worked out. Among them, it is natural to avoid the sword and light sword shadow and the open and dark struggle, such as some concubines miscarry after pregnancy, and some pregnant concubines take the initiative to beat the fetus.
In addition, later researchers believe that the reason why Song Renzong did not have a son was due to the revenge of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan! At first, Song Renzong's father, Song Zhenzong, took Zhao Yunrang to the palace to raise him, and had the intention of making him crown prince. However, with the birth of Song Renzong, Zhao Yunrang's dream was in vain! Therefore, later generations believe that it was Zhao Yunrang who obstructed it, so Song Renzong's sons died one after another. He did this in order to adopt his son as prince! In fact, song renzong, who had no sons, succeeded Zhao Yunrang's son as the crown prince and changed his name to Zhao Shu for Song Yingzong.
In terms of Wenzhi martial arts, Song Renzong was also considered to be among the emperors of the past. But from a family point of view, it is a pity that he has not been able to prove to the person he loves most in his life, and even that none of his sons have survived!
