Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 22 The Historical Truth, Empress Dowager Liu Is Not Incompetent
When the screen changed, Empress Dowager Liu, who was in parallel time and space, also saw the inventory video.

"My Zhen'er, although I'm not your mother, I really have no ill intentions towards you, I have always regarded you as my own flesh and blood.

I admit that I did something wrong when it came to your biological mother. I was selfish and greedy.

If I do it all over again, I will definitely choose to treat your mother in a different way, it's all my fault. "

Empress Dowager Liu is very old at this time, she is approaching her old age, and she knows that she has few days to live.

Recalling the past, I burst into tears.

Indeed, for a mother, it is indeed too cruel to let her son leave her side since he was a child, and he has not seen him a few times for so many years.

However, for Emperor Renzong, she felt that she had a clear conscience.

When Zhao Zhen was very young, Empress Dowager Liu carefully selected ministers to study Confucian classics for Renzong, and even appointed Li Di, who opposed her, to teach Renzong.

Empress Dowager Liu can be regarded as a strict mother in educating Renzong. She had very strict requirements on Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen, which made him develop a calm, magnanimous, and filial character since he was a child.

Song Renzong was unsmiling, but he was orderly, which was inseparable from the long-term education and subtle influence of Empress Dowager Liu, the "big lady".

Since Song Zhenzong died of illness, the edict said: Prince Zhao Zhen came to the throne, empress Liu was the empress dowager, concubine Yang Shu was the empress dowager, and the empress dowager dealt with all important military affairs.

It can be seen from this that the prince was still very young at the time, and without the Queen Mother Liu to listen to the government, the Song Dynasty would have been in chaos.

The little emperor Zhao Zhen is only 11 years old at this time, do you expect him to go to court to handle government affairs?
If this is really done, Zhao Zhen will definitely become a means for the powerful in the court to use the imperial power to seek personal gain.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Empress Dowager Liu to handle government affairs on behalf of Renzong.

Prime Minister Ding Wei wanted to monopolize power, but was later demoted by Empress Dowager Liu. After Ding Wei was dismissed and demoted, Empress Dowager Liu began to listen to political decisions with Song Renzong, and officially listened to politics behind the curtain.

In November of the second year of Song Renzong's Tiansheng, Empress Dowager Liu wore the emperor's dragon robe and accepted the honorary title given by Song Renzong and his officials: Yingyuan Chongde Renshou Cisheng Empress Dowager.

The most important thing is that Empress Dowager Liu did nothing bad during her reign.

She has strict orders and strict rewards and punishments. Although she appoints official positions to her family members, she does not allow them to intervene in government affairs.

In the face of big right and wrong, she respects the opinions of the court officials, and many famous officials have been reused by her.

Empress Dowager Liu herself is also very simple. When she was a queen, her clothes were simple, and she still did not change her habits after becoming a queen mother.

In addition to being an example in life, her selection and appointment of talents is based on the country's overall interests.

During her ten years in power, the talents she got through the examinations were the most in the history of the Song Dynasty, and they were also of the highest quality.

Although Empress Dowager Liu has been in power for a long time and is unwilling to return to Renzong, this is a temptation of power and it is difficult to give up.

However, Empress Dowager Liu never thought of being self-reliant.

Empress Dowager Liu once made it clear: "I will never do such a thing!"

It is said that she will not become a generation of empress like Wu Zetian.

After Empress Dowager Liu made her statement, the officials were relieved.

In February of the second year of Ming Dynasty, despite fierce opposition from ministers, Empress Dowager Liu once again wore the emperor's dragon robe and worshiped Song Taizu and other emperors of the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty Taimiao.

After the ceremony, Empress Dowager Liu returned to Song Renzong completely.

From the perspective of family relationship, you can say that Empress Dowager Liu is a selfish person, because she made it difficult for Renzong's mother and son to meet each other.

But on the whole, Empress Dowager Liu never treated Emperor Renzong badly, and treated him as her own.

Moreover, in terms of economy, the world does not know that Empress Dowager Liu made up the deficit during the administration, while Emperor Renzong was in deficit for many years when he was in power.

Empress Dowager Liu's atrocities were nothing more than random records of unofficial history.

But people in the world only look at the surface, how can they easily change their minds.

"Empress Liu? She is a strange person.

Renzong, Renzong, as an emperor, you must have your own judgment, don't just believe what others say. "

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the inventory video, and his thoughts were naturally different from others.

When Empress Dowager Liu listened to the government behind the curtain, Emperor Qin Huang Han Wu and other emperors had died long ago, so naturally the truth was unknown.

But the Ming Dynasty was different. As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally read many historical books of the previous dynasty.

Naturally, he also knows many things that the previous emperors did not know.

For example, Emperor Renzong finally realized that he was bewitched by villains and wrongly blamed Empress Dowager Liu.

For another example, the history books spoke highly of Liu E, saying that she was respected equally with Lu Zhi and Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.

Parallel Dynasty - Great Song Dynasty.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi always paid attention to the video of Emperor Renzong.

"Worthy of being my direct descendant, who has won my true inheritance."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled in satisfaction, and said with relief:
"It seems that the Song Dynasty's economy is still good, and the people's life is also very nourishing.

However, I want to know, is my military ability in foreign wars after the Great Song Dynasty really that bad?
Could it be that my decision was wrong?
Shouldn't one be close to scholar-bureaucrats, but should promote generals?

However, in such a prosperous Tang Dynasty, he is still troubled by the problem of generals. Everything I do is for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty! "

What Zhao Kuangyin didn't know was that Zhao Zhen was not his direct descendant.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Guangyi is the ancestor of Emperor Renzong.

"I, Zhao Jiaerlang, did a good job."

Zhao Guangyi was very sure of his junior, and said with emotion:

"Unfortunately, as an emperor, he doesn't have enough courage, his character is a little soft, and he doesn't have that kind of tough stand. This is not good. What I need in Song Dynasty is a tough emperor!"

But if Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi knew that the famous Jingkang shame happened in the later generations of Song Dynasty, how would they feel?

The two emperors of Hui and Qin, as well as a large number of Zhao royal family, harem concubines, nobles, and courtiers, totaling more than [-] people went north to the Kingdom of Jin. The public and private savings in Tokyo were all wiped out. The Jingkang Change led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

…………

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che put down what he was doing, watched the inventory video, and said doubtfully:

"It is so popular among the people, and its economic strength is not bad, how could it be defeated by the outside world?

I just couldn't think of it.

In my opinion, since the national treasury is so rich, shouldn't the military build-up be more orderly?

Soldiers are paid, shouldn't they be more motivated?

If I want this Great Song Emperor, I must cultivate an invincible army, and then the whole world will be in my hands.

What Huns, what Jurchens, look in front of me, they are nothing more than mere thieves. "

Liu Che hates iron but not steel.

Other unexplained emperors thought the same way.

…………

Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, also expressed his thoughts:

"In the period of Emperor Renzong, there were so many famous officials.

Bao Qingtian, who is stern and selfless, Fan Zhongyan, who worries about the world before him, Ouyang Xiu, a master in the literary world, and Di Qing, a famous general.

It's a pity that the backbones of the generals of the Song Dynasty were all broken.

As a result, literati and doctors are too rampant.

Otherwise, how could I, Da Yuan, replace Da Song? "

And at this moment, the video of Emperor Renzong's inventory was coming to an end, and a few more lines appeared:

【Emperor Renzong finished his inventory. 】

[Now give a reward. 】

-

Very displeased with Wild History's random smearing of historical figures!
