There is such a scene in the plot: the emperor lost his beloved son and was forced by a group of old ministers in the DPRK to adopt the son of the imperial clan as the prince. Even the heir to the throne can't choose to be the king of a country? Does the emperor have a historical prototype?
According to historical records, from the founding of Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were nine emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty, and only one of them was the longest-serving, most diligent and most sad emperor in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty-Zhao Zhen, Song Renzong.

First of all, Zhao Zhen has normal physiological function, is not gay, and has a large number of harem beauties, giving birth to a lot of children. As for why there is a play, I will wait for the author to speak slowly.
Originally known as Zhao Youyi, he was born in the third year of Xiangfu in Dazhong (A.D. 10 10). Because the old man loved Queen Liu and had no son, he gave birth to Prince Zhao Youyi through the belly of the maid Li, claiming that Zhao Youyi was born to Queen Liu. In order to compensate Li, Queen Liu made her a princess and a family member. From then on, Princess Li Chenfei enjoyed a quiet life in the harem.
This period of history was later compiled into the harem mystery "Civet cats for princes", which hacked Queen Liu in an unprecedented way, but it was actually a fair deal for the parties.
In A.D. 10 18, Zhao Youyi was conferred the title of Crown Prince with a name. Four years later, he died and acceded to the throne at the age of 12. Liu took charge of the military and political affairs.
When Zhao Zhen 14 years old, she has reached marriageable age. At the Concubine Draft, she took a fancy to beautiful Zhang and wanted to marry her as the queen, but Liu, who was in power, tended to marry another candidate, Guo. Even the throne is in the hands of the queen mother. How dare Zhao Zhen, a junior high school student, complain? So in the twelfth year of Tiansheng (A.D. 1024), Guo was made queen at the age of 12.
Later, it turns out that arranged marriage is really difficult to be happy.
Queen Guo is a jealous woman. In the favor of the Queen Mother, she often sends people to monitor Zhao Zhen's whereabouts. Once the emperor approached other ladies-in-waiting, he first scolded her and then went to the harem for etiquette, which made people panic.
As for the emperor's husband, she has no scruples. When Shang learned that she was in love with a maid-in-waiting, her family was very angry. She personally went to the door to arrest him, and the monk's family scuffled regardless of the image. When Zhao Zhen saw this, he hurried forward to exhort him. Unexpectedly, Queen Guo slapped him in the face, and there were many imperial secretaries present. This is a move against Long Lin!
Queen Guo is tough, but after nine years of marriage, her temper is getting bigger and bigger, and her stomach is not long. Besides, concubines gave birth to several princesses to the emperor during this period. Although they are not boys, it is only a matter of time before she is replaced by the queen.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhen moved the idea of waste at this time. First of all, he exposed his dirty laundry and presented the palm prints on his face to the civil and military officials in the early dynasty. The prime minister had long been dissatisfied with Queen Guo, and urged the admonisher to take the opportunity to suggest: "I have been established for nine years and have no children, so I should abolish my righteousness." Lv Yijian echoed.
Fan Zhongyan, who was admonished by the right minister, was steady by nature. At this time, Liu was still alive. He was worried about the gap between the emperor and the queen, so he persuaded: "The queen should not be abolished, so it is advisable to put this discussion on hold early and not let it spread abroad."
But a few months later, Empress Liu died of illness, and Empress Guo lost her backer. Zhao Zhen had no worries, scolded her for her faults, gave her the title of the leader of the Golden Court, and forced her to take her to practice. A year later, this tough woman died strangely at the age of 24.
However, this sad story still retains a trace of warmth. When Guo became a monk, he missed her a little (I don't know what this woman is worth missing, but she may have a tendency to be abused) and ordered her to return to the palace. Guo was strong-willed and replied, "If the emperor wants to summon me again, he must be appointed by a hundred officials in the dynasty." The implication is that you want me to sneak back to the palace, no way!
At this time, there is another queen, so it is impossible for him to agree to Guo's conditions. But a month after Guo's sudden death, he felt guilty about this woman and restored her title of queen.

Not the Guo family, but.
During the Guo family's becoming a monk, the harem could not be deserted for a day. The adopted mother, Empress Yang, chose the granddaughter of Cao Bin, the founding star, and made Cao Shi, who was 18 years old, the empress.
Compared with the domineering Queen Guo, Queen Cao is gentle and fresh in literature and art ... Although she was born in a famous family, she is good at calligraphy and is familiar with classics and history. More importantly, she is kind and thrifty, and she is simply a model of an ideal wife.
However, Queen Cao is not favored because she is virtuous, but she looks ordinary. For Zhao Zhen, who is in his twenties and is full of hormones, what he needs is a fertility machine with a good face and elegant measurements.
Now there is a saying that men are animals that think with their lower bodies. In fact, it is very reasonable to pursue the past and think about the present.
Empress Cao was canonized in September of 1034, perhaps because she brought her own red halo. Until her death, she firmly controlled the world, although she was not favored, although she did not leave a son and a half to her husband in this life.
The key to such strength lies in the fact that Queen Cao's emotional intelligence is quite high and she has a big picture. She can't have children by herself, but she encourages other women to have children and sends Zhao Zhen to all the concubines' beds. I have to admit, this move is very clever, because even if other women give birth to a prince, considering the queen's contribution, Zhao Zhen will not waste it for nothing.
Yan value is not enough, emotional intelligence comes together. For people in today's society, Queen Cao's skill is very instructive.
Under such manipulation, Zhao Zhen's sowing soon gained. 1037 On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, Zhao Zhen welcomed his first son, Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's biological mother, Yu Defa, looked at this hard-won son and couldn't help crying with joy. Zhao Zhen was overjoyed. But happiness comes quickly and goes quickly. On that day, the little prince died inexplicably and walked in the world for less than a day.
Zhao Zhen later remembered this little life that surprised him. Zhao Yun died for four years, and Zhao Zhen posthumously named him King Zan, even the name Zhao Yun was posthumously given.
1039, Miao Guifei gave birth to a prince named Zhao Xin for Zhao Zhen in the harem. Miao Guifei had previously given birth to a princess for Zhao Zhen, namely Princess Fukang.
As an imperial concubine, children are in pairs, and Miao Guifei's life is naturally blessed with health. Maybe she still thinks the auspicious name of daughter. In view of the fate of Zhao Yun, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Xin was taken as the key protection object from birth and grew up happily in the palace until he went to kindergarten.
On August 23rd, A.D. 104 1 year, a gifted scholar named Zhu in the palace gave birth to a prince. The reason why the time is so detailed is that boys are so scarce in front of Zhao Zhen that historians record this as an important moment in history, just as experts want to record the data of the only panda in the zoo.
At this time, these two boys, together with Zhao Xin born on 1039, became the only fruit left by Zhao Zhen.
On the first day of the first month of January 1043, Zhao Xi, who was under two years old, was made King of Hubei, but he died the next day. Is it because the child is too young and such a big title ruined his birthday?
A few months later, 4-year-old Zhao Xin also died of illness.
Zhao Xin had just reached the age of innocence, and died in the palace where famous doctors gathered because of a minor illness. His sister Princess Fukang lived to the age of Zhao Zhen's great-grandson Song Zhezong, at the age of 69, which was considered a long life at that time.
Everything is fate, nothing is impossible!
At this time, Zhao Zhen has passed the age of 30, and he still cannot inherit the throne of Datong. His heart is extremely anxious.

It is the first love that many married men can't give up. Although it has been almost 20 years since the first election, I still can't give up that little beauty named Zhang.
I quickly targeted another girl named Zhang. Because of her appearance, Zhao Zhen seems to have returned to her youthful days.
This beautiful little girl, whose parents died when she was a child, was sent to the palace by her uncle Zhang Yaozuo when she was 8 years old. /kloc-When she was 0/6 years old, Xiao Zhang's beauty was ordered to attend a ball at a palace banquet. Her outstanding appearance and graceful dancing made Zhao Zhen feel refreshed on the spot, so they had a spring breeze. That year, a daughter was born, named Princess Anshou, and Zhang was named a gifted scholar.
In the days that followed, Zhang was extremely loved in the palace. After the death of Princess Anshou, she gave birth to two princesses for Zhao Zhen. At this time, she has become an imperial concubine, only one step away from the queen.
Zhang Guifei was spoiled for many years, but she didn't give birth to a prince, and the three princesses in her lap also died.
Perhaps most of the concubines in the palace like to eat some rare varieties that are hard to see in the local area to show their uniqueness. For example, Yang Guifei, who lived in Xi 'an during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, ate litchi produced in southern Fujian, leaving an allusion: "Riding a princess in the world of mortals, no one refers to litchi."
Zhang Guifei is no exception. She likes to eat kumquat produced in Jiangxi. So, Zhao Zhen issued an imperial edict, and a large number of kumquat were sent to Kaifeng continuously. In addition to supplying the palace, some of them have flowed into the market, which is quite popular among the people. Fortunately, kumquat is resistant to storage, not as delicate as litchi, otherwise this kind of thing that pleases the harem will be recorded by historians.
Compared with the two queens, Zhang Guifei is good at playing small temperament, and has firmly grasped Zhao Zhen's heart. She is bent on promoting her uncle Yao Zhang to a knight, but Zhao is famous for his good temper. This matter was opposed by all ministers in court until Zhang Guifei took Zhao Zhen's hand and said, "Don't forget what people told you this time."
Finally, when I arrived in North Korea, I had a careful discussion with Zheng of Kaifeng. Bao Zheng was very excited after hearing this. He grabbed the emperor's sleeve and repeatedly stressed that Yao Zhang had misbehaved and that his official position could not be revealed. Because the voice was too loud, the saliva sprayed on Zhao Zhen's face, and this matter had to be forgotten.
Zhang Guifei's presence in the palace was too strong, even surpassing that of Empress Cao, but she failed to give birth to a child for Zhao Zhen from beginning to end.
In A.D. 1054, Zhao Zhen's favorite Zhang Guifei died of sudden illness at the age of 30. Zhao Zhen was very sad, so he went on strike for seven days, and the capital banned any entertainment for one month. When he died in Zhang Guifei, he insisted on burying Queen Cao with the gift of the Queen, even though she was still alive. He not only posthumously awarded her the title of Wencheng Queen, but also named her dead parents.

Since then, the harem has successively given birth to several princesses for Zhao Zhen. So far, Zhao Zhen has been in power for more than 40 years. In addition to the three princes, the harem also gave birth to 16 princesses for him. According to the combination probability of 50% chromosomes, it is difficult to explain this strange phenomenon. More importantly, only four of the 16 daughters have grown up.
Until AD 1062, Zhao Zhen, who was exhausted physically and mentally, was finally tired. Seeing that he was old and hopeless, he had to make his nephew Zhao Zongshi a prince and named him Zhao Shu.
Zhao Zhen doesn't want his nephew to be the heir. When Zhao Zhen and Zhao Shu traveled in history, all the people in the street shouted the wisdom of the emperor. Zhao Zhen was very depressed. When he returned to the palace, he asked Zhao Shu, who is the emperor in people's mouth? Honest Zhao Shu blushed for a moment, unable to answer.
If he is his own son, he will definitely not be so suspicious.
1063 March, Zhao Zhen died at the age of 54. In the same year, Zhao Shu ascended the throne and was called Song Yingzong.
Zhao Zhen's title is Renzong, which is worthy of the name in terms of what he has done all his life. He is diligent, loving the people and tolerant. Most of the famous officials in the Northern Song Dynasty came from this period. Hearing the news of his death, the whole country was saddened, and even beggars in Beijing organized a group to burn paper for him. When the messenger sent the news to Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, Song Renzong's sworn enemy actually took the messenger's hand and cried bitterly, and built a cenotaph for him in Liao to show his condolences.
It is unprecedented for the emperor to do so.
God is not always fair. Zhao Zhen worked hard all his life. He was the most famous emperor in history. Finally, he died of depression because he had no biological son. However, by the generation of Song Huizong, the grandson of his successor Zhao Shu, the ending was embarrassing.
Because Song Zhezong died of illness at a young age, his younger brother was made emperor, known as Song Huizong in history. Song Huizong is a famous bad king in history. The uprisings of Sung River and Fang La in Water Margin took place in his dynasty. Later, he and more than 3,000 members of the royal family were taken captive to the northeast by the Jin people. Besides being fatuous, he has amazing fertility.
How fertile is Song Huizong? According to the biography of imperial clan, before he was captured, he gave birth to 3 1 sons and 34 daughters. After being captured, he was over 50 years old and gave birth to 6 sons and 8 daughters with the women of Jin State.
This kind of gene and physique, even a little passed on to great-grandfather Zhao Zhen, may last for decades.
History is so helpless. The wisest monarch was depressed because there was no successor, but the most fatuous monarch gave birth to a litter of children mercilessly.
Perhaps this is the luck of DaSong.
