1, stone. Before Song Renzong, no emperor could regard "benevolence" as posthumous title or call it "benevolence". He is a rare emperor loved by the people in history. After Song Renzong's death, Luoyang citizens also stopped to mourn, and the smoke burning paper money filled the sky of Luoyang City, so that it was "dark".
2. I tried to reform the old malpractice and failed. In Renzong period, the social reform of "Qingli New Deal" presided by Fan Zhongyan played a leading role in Wang Anshi's political reform. There are ten aspects of the "Qingli New Deal"-clarifying its way, restraining transportation, paying tribute to its way, selecting officials, public fields, cultivating agriculture and mulberry, repairing military equipment, reducing corvee, being sincere and giving orders.

One year and four months later, the suspension was announced, which missed a good opportunity for innovation. The main disadvantages are as follows. First, there are serious redundancies, and the tax revenue occupied by the army has reached seven tenths; Second, land annexation is serious, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. In his later years, Renzong even developed to the point that "the rich have a promising field and the poor have no place to stand." Situation.

In the military conflict between Xixia and Song, Song was basically in an advantageous position, which forced Xixia to hold peace talks with Song, and Xixia became the minister of Song, known in history as "celebrating the calendar and discussing peace". The Song Dynasty also adopted the method of negotiation and maintained a peaceful relationship with Liao. After the obituary of Zhao Zhen's death in Song Renzong was sent to Liao country, Lu Ye Hongji, the Liao Daozong who was the monarch of Liao country at that time, grabbed the hand of the messenger of Song country and cried bitterly, saying, "Forty-two years have passed, and I haven't learned military reform." He added, "I want to build a monument for him to show my condolences."
