In China's more than 2,100 years of imperial era, many of the nearly 500 emperors inherited the unification as small sects. Under the patriarchal system that upheld the ruling order, the emperor faced the problem of identity, especially the title of the heir emperor and the father of Bunsen.
Song Yingzong stills.
According to the patriarchal system, when a small sect succeeds a large sect, it must first succeed to the heir and then inherit the unification, that is, to inherit the great sect and then inherit the unification as the heir of the large sect. However, the successors of the father-son relationship often leaned towards the Bunsen Minor Sect in an attempt to elevate its status. As early as the Han and Han dynasties, there were examples of small sects succeeding to great unification, such as Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

However, Song Yingzong in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty was even more remarkable in terms of power and strategy. He provoked the "Puyi" incident and became one of the most controversial emperors in history. Compared with the theoretical basis of Emperor Jiajing's struggle for his father's position as the king, Song Yingzong's behavior was described as a white-eyed wolf.
Stills from Queen Cao.
In the seventh year of Jiabao, Song Renzong took the young Zhao Zongshi back to the palace, made him the prince, and changed his name to Zhao Shu. However, Renzong did not pay much attention to this cheap heir, and even became indifferent to him, causing the palace people to deliberately treat him harshly. Despite the unkindness towards Song Yingzong, there was no abuse. As an adoptive mother, Empress Cao poured love and showed a motherly image to Song Yingzong.

However, Song Yingzong's repayment to his adoptive parents after his accession to the throne was a big surprise. He showed a cold and ruthless side at the time of Song Renzong's death, and almost ignored the funeral. He has no gratitude to his adoptive mother, Queen Cao, and even speaks harshly. This caused dissatisfaction among the courtiers, adding fuel to the conflict between the two palaces.
Stills of Empress Dowager Cao.
On May 13 of the first year of Zhiping, Empress Dowager Cao returned to Song Yingzong under the coercion of courtiers. However, the contradiction between the two palaces still exists, and Yingzong showed the demeanor of a Ming monarch within three days of coming to power. Despite the suspicion of Sima Guang and others, the Empress Dowager Cao withdrew the curtain, but the dispute between the two palaces continued.
Amazing Insider!The most thrilling emperor's family and power schemes in Chinese history, the bitter tears of Empress Dowager Cao and Yingzong's indifference and ruthlessness are revealed one by one!
The essay sheds light on a little-known period of Chinese history about the imperial family intrigues, particularly the warm and cold relationship between Song Yingzong in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty and his adoptive mother, Empress Cao. This period of history makes people think deeply about court intrigue and family feelings.
First, the article elaborates on the identity problems faced by the emperors who succeeded to the Great Unification under the patriarchal system of maintaining the ruling order. Under this patriarchal system, small clans need to succeed to large clans first and then succession, which is a necessary prerequisite for ensuring the inheritance of royal power. However, due to the deep affection between father and son, the successors tend to prefer the original Bunsen Minor Sect, which leads to the weakening of the patriarchal status of the Inheritance Clan.
Second, based on historical facts, the article vividly describes Song Yingzong's attitude towards his adoptive parents, as well as his behavior after his succession to the throne. Youngjong's indifference and ingratitude to his adoptive mother, Empress Cao, at the time of the death of his father Song Injong, as well as his indifference at the funeral, are indeed deeply shocking. This not only reveals an emperor's indifference to family affection, but also reflects the cruel side of court intrigues.
However, the article also highlights Empress Cao's motherly image as an adoptive mother, her efforts and love when Yingzong was snubbed and treated harshly by the palace people. This makes the reader resonate with Empress Cao's bitter feelings while being indifferent to Yingzong. The scene of Empress Cao's forced return to power after Yingzong's accession to the throne is even more poignant, and the pressure and helplessness she experienced are particularly profound in the long river of history.
Finally, the article presents the intricacies of the intrigues within the court by describing the intensity of the dispute between the two palaces and the efforts of the courtiers to mediate. The whole article has both an objective description of history and the author's speculation on the inner emotions of historical figures, so that readers can have a deeper understanding of this little-known history.
Overall, this essay succeeds in presenting a complex and thought-provoking historical story through detailed historical records and profound descriptions. This history not only reflects the cruelty of power in the court, but also gives people a deeper understanding of the conflict between power and emotion.
