<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > Zhao Yuanfen in the Great Song Palace Dictionary</h1>
In the "Great Song Palace Words", Song Zhenzong's younger brother Zhao Yuanfen is a very existential figure, before Zhao Zhen was born, several sons of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng died one after another, and there was not a son, while his younger brother Zhao Yuanfen already had 7 sons, and later, he heard him say that Princess Cao Siqi was pregnant, and his fertility was simply in stark contrast to the emperor's brother.
In the play, Zhao Yuanfen, the King of Ji, married Cao Siqi, the daughter of Taifu Caojian, and his brother-in-law was Cao Yu. In 1004, Emperor Zhenzong of Song personally conquered Liaoyuan and let Zhao Yuanfen stay in the capital, and Cao Jian instigated his son-in-law to coup d'état and came up with the idea to intercept and kill the emperor halfway through.
In 1022, when Emperor Zhenzong of Song died while Taishan was sealing Zen, Cao Jian encouraged Zhao Yuanfen to ascend the throne, and was resolutely resisted by Cao Yong, which deeply attracted the audience.
But after watching the "History of Song", the real Zhao Yuanfen and the Zhao Yuanfen in the play are simply worlds apart.
"The Words of the Great Song Palace" typed subtitles at the beginning of the film: "This drama is based on historical materials and legends, and the plot characters are fictionalized." This death-free gold medal seems to be able to block Yoyo's mouth, because there are words first, but the story of Zhao Yuanfen is neither historical nor legendary, not "some" fiction, but a completely new compilation.
This article is dedicated to friends who like to watch historical dramas as much as I do, and after watching the dramas, they want to explore the real images and deeds of the characters in the dramas in history.
Zhao Yuanfen was the fourth son of Zhao Guangyi of Emperor Taizong of Song, and his three older brothers were Zhao Yuanzuo, who had been pretending to be crazy for many years, Zhao Yuanzuo, who died early, and Zhao Heng, who became emperor, in fact, he also had 5 younger brothers, the fifth was called Zhao Yuanjie, and the eighth was called Zhao Yuanjie, which was the eight kings in "Qing Ping Le".
Zhao Yuanfen was crowned King of Ji in the eighth year of his father Zhao Guangyi's reign, in 983, when Zhao Yuanfen was 14 years old, when his father changed his name to Zhao Yuanjun, and before that he was named Zhao Deyan. Three years later, in 986, his father again made him the King of Yue, this time changing his name to Zhao Yuanfen.
After his third brother Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he successively created him the King of Yong and the King of Shang, and in 1004, Under the repeated mobilization of Kou Zhun, Emperor Zhenzong of Song marched on the Imperial Expedition and made his younger brother Zhao Yuanfen stay in Tokyo before leaving to handle state affairs on his behalf. Emperor Zhenzong of Song was absent for several months, and finally returned by signing the Alliance of Liaoyuan with the Liao State.
Zhao Yuanfen stayed in Tokyo for several months and handled government affairs decently, but the next year, in 1005, Zhao Yuanfen died at the age of 36. His emperor brother lived to 1022 at the age of 54.
Therefore, many of the things that happened to Zhao Yuanfen in the "Great Song Palace Words" were nothing.
Zhao Yuanfen's princess was not Cao Jian's daughter, and in history Cao Used was indeed a loyal vassal of the Great Song Dynasty, and his father's name was Cao Jian, not Cao Jian, which was another transfer of flowers and trees in the Great Song Palace Words. Just as Su Yijian in "The Words of the Great Song Palace" is transplanted from Su Yijian during the song Taizong period, although these characters are quite plump, you must understand that this is "literary creation", not history.
A person spent a lot of money to buy a sportswear online, was ridiculed, he took a closer look, the letters printed on the clothes are "ADIBAS", he looked for a business theory, and appealed to the "315" association, but finally lost the case, because people clearly wrote "ADIBAS", he thought it was "ADIDAS."
Can only laugh at this buyer? Isn't it that the merchant deliberately wipes the edge ball?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > Zhao Yuanfen in the History of Song, who had a tigress wife and three sons</h1>
Back to the real Zhao Yuanfen in history, the princess he married was the daughter of a high-ranking official Li Hanbin, this princess was fierce and cruel, popularly speaking, the vicious tigress, the family servant woman in the palace, she whipped the staff at every turn, and there was no shortage of people who were killed.
Emperor Zhenzong of Song was quite lenient with his younger brother Zhao Yuanfen, and often sent some rewards to the palace, and ordered that they be evenly distributed, and the princess of the Li clan of the tigress took it for herself.
After Zhao Yuanfen fell ill, the emperor personally visited the palace, and Zhao Yuanfen did not have a waiter around him, so he had to leave the palace attendants who accompanied him to cook for his brother's decoction, which showed the princess's lack of affection for her husband. On Zhao Yuanfen's birthday, the princess wore adorned with dragons and phoenixes, which was a serious crime, and this humble woman was simply lawless.
This princess was not good for her husband, nor did she respect the emperor, as early as when Emperor Taizong had just died, the clan relatives needed to go to the palace to guard the funeral, and Princess Li always shirked with physical discomfort. She also had disrespectful remarks about Song Zhenzong, in fact, the emperor knew all this, but just read the love face of his younger brother Zhao Yuanfen and did not pursue the princess.
After Zhao Yuanfen's death, the princess did not have a sad and sad expression, and although the emperor was angry with his brother's princess, he only sealed the palace and let her move to another place.
Such an alternative princess would have been dramatic enough, but it was completely incompatible with Cao Siqi, the princess of Ji in "The Words of the Great Song Palace".
Zhao Yuanfen died young at the age of 36, and he had only 3 sons, named Yunning, Yunhuai, and Yunrang. The "History of Song" only mentions Yun Huai's name, but does not say anything else, perhaps because he died young.
Zhao Yuanfen's eldest son, Yunning, had 4 sons, and they were all made princes and dukes, and inherited the title of Zhao Yuanfen.
Zhao Yuanfen's third son, Zhao Yunrang, was dignified and stable from an early age, moody and angry, and was deeply loved by Song Zhenzong, and after Song Zhenzong's eldest son Zhao You died at the age of 9, Zhenzong welcomed Zhao Yunrang to the palace to raise him with the Green Car Festival. At that time, he regarded Zhao Yunrang as his son.
In 1010, Zhao Zhen was born, Song Zhenzong had his own son, so he sent zhao Yunrang, who was already 15 years old, back to the palace, and when he was first taken into the palace, he used a solemn ceremony, and this time he was sent back to a high standard, using Xiao Shao Bu Le, and also crowned him as a thorn history.
Zhao Yunrang was a magnanimous and benevolent prince and nobleman, with a prosperous heir and 22 sons, while his cousin Zhao Zhen, although he became the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, was childless, and the royal family once again selected an heir from Zhao Yuanfen's descendants.
In 1035, after the 25-year-old Emperor Renzong of Song had died one after another, Emperor Zhen of Song Renzong chose an adopted son from among the children of Yun Rang, and he selected Zhao Zongshi, the 13th son of Yun Rang, to inherit from his own name, to join the imperial palace, and to be personally raised and taught by Empress Cao.
In 1039, Zhao Zhen had a son Zhao Xin again, just as Emperor Zhenzong of Song had returned Yun when he had Zhao Zhen, and this time Zhao Zhen sent Zong Shi back.
In 1043, Zhao Xin died. After that, Zhao Zhen never had a prince, and some ministers proposed to take back Zongshi, but he refused, hoping that the harem could have another son, but he failed to do so.
When Zhao Yunrang died in 1058, Zhao Zongshi repeatedly refused to be appointed by the imperial court in the name of mourning.
In 1062, Emperor Renzong of Song made Zhao Zongshi crown prince with an edict, but he still refused to say that he was ill, and under the repeated advice of the ministers, he had to agree, and before leaving home, he told his subordinates to guard the house for him, and when Song Renzong had a son one day, he would go home.
But by then Emperor Renzong of Song had come to the end of his life, and in 1063, Emperor Renzong of Song died, and he had no more sons, and Emperor Zhao took the throne and changed his name to Zhao Shu.
Going around, although Zhao Yuanfen seemed to have nothing to do with the throne, his son almost became the heir of Song Zhenzong, and his grandson finally took over the baton of the Emperor of the Great Song from Zhao Zhen and became the fifth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Yingzong, and the subsequent Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, and Song Gaozong were also descendants of Zhao Yuanfen.
Speaking of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty "1+8" refers to one person from the Taizu lineage and 8 people from the Taizong lineage. In addition to the first Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the other eight were Song Taizong and his descendants, while Song Taizong's third son Zhao Heng and son Zhao Zhen only served two terms, and the rest were descendants of Zhao Yuanfen, the fourth son of Song Taizong.
The Southern Song Emperor "1+8", the first Song Gaozong was a descendant of Emperor Taizong, and of course, a descendant of Zhao Yuanfen. Feng Shui took turns, because Zhao Shuo was childless, and almost all the descendants of Song Taizong were killed or captured by the Jin dynasty, while the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, were more and more far away from the center of power to be saved, Zhao Shuo had no choice but to choose the heir to the imperial throne from the descendants of Taizu, and the 8 emperors behind the Southern Song Dynasty returned to the branch of Song Taizu.
Throughout the history of the two Song Dynasties and three hundred years, although Zhao Yuanfen was not an emperor, he was an important turning point in history. It's just that the real history of Zhao Yuanfen and Zhao Yuanfen in the "Great Song Palace Words", their life experiences are too different. The real Zhao Yuanfen only had two sons to grow up, and they were all excellent, unlike the untouchable super-born guerrillas in the Great Song Palace Words.
Although Zhao Yuanfen's descendants became emperors, when they learned of his true life, they still felt sorry for his untimely death, but lamented that he married an unreasonable tigress wife, which is the truth of history and the regret of life!
