In the second year of Daguan (1108), the Qing Dynasty was clear and clean, and the weak and sick Queen Wang finally died. She was twenty-five years old and was posthumously named Jinghe. She was buried first in Yuling. It was only changed to the Huizong Temple Room during the Shaoxing period.

Empress Wang of Xiangong (1084-1108), was the Yuan mate of Emperor Huizong of Song, a native of Kaifeng. His father was Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou. After Huizong ascended the throne, he was appointed as the queen, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, Song Qinzong Zhao Heng and Emperor Rongde's princess Zhao Jinnu. Empress Wang was respectful and frugal, with an average appearance, and would not please Huizong. Although she was the main palace, she was not favored. At that time, the concubine Zheng and Wang, who were favored by Huizong, competed for favor, and the queen treated him with peace. Her son Zhao Heng was Song Qinzong, and his daughter Zhao Jinnu was first named Princess Yongqing, and was renamed Rongfu. She was later changed to Emperor Ji, and was once named Rongde, and first married the Left Guard General Cao Sheng. After the Jingkang Incident, she became the concubine of Wanyan Chang of the Jin Kingdom. Later, Wanyan Chang was killed by Jin Xizong, and Emperor Rongde entered the palace to serve Jin Xizong, and was appointed as the wife of the second year of the Jin Emperor's rule.

"Biography of Empress Huizong Xiangong of the Song Dynasty" Empress Huizong Xiangong of King Xiangong of Emperor Huizong was the daughter of Dezhou governor Zao. In June of the second year of Yuanfu, he returned to Duandi and was named the wife of Shunguo. Huizong ascended the throne and became the queen. He gave birth to Qinzong and Princess Chongguo. The queen was respectful and frugal, Zheng and Wang, and the queen was favored by him. The eunuch was arbitrarily to cater to him and falsely accused him of being ignorant. The emperor ordered Zhou Ding, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, to conduct a secret prison examination, but there was no trace, and the prison was stopped. Later, he met the emperor and never said a word. The emperor felt sorry for him. The second year of Daguan was 25 years old. His posthumous title was Jinghe, and he was buried in Yuling. In Shaoxing, he first attached the Weizong temple room, and changed to the current posthumous title.

The princess changed her name to Emperor Ji, which was also a strange thing for Zhao Ji. It is said that once, he patted his head and wanted to change the title of "Princess" to "Emperor Ji", thinking that the title of the emperor was granted to the Emperor's daughter, which was not in line with the rules. The consuls held objections, some said that the Zhou king's surname was Ji, and his daughter was called Wang Ji; while the Zhao surname was after the Shang Dynasty, so Ji could not be used. Some said that Ji was a beautiful name for ancient women, and used to call the Emperor's daughter.

The emperor said, "Although the surname Ji is the surname Zhou, the archaeological system is suitable for Zhou. Since Ji is the beautiful name of women, it can be seen that it not only refers to the surname Zhou. The ancients are used for the present, but the power of reference lies with me!" Since the emperor has said nothing, who dares to discuss it again? So the emperor issued an edict; changing the princess to "Emperor's concubine", the princess to "Zongji", and the county magistrates to "Clan Ji". The consuls agreed in unison, saying that this was a major achievement of the retro ritual system.

In the year after Empress Wang's death, some ministers carried out activities behind the scenes to establish the new empress. At that time, Grand Master Cai advocated the establishment of Concubine Wang Shu, Tong Guan and Zhu Xie were inclined to Concubine Liu De, and Yang Jian believed that both were OK, but Zheng Juzhong thought that Concubine Zheng was the only concubine. The emperor was not disgusted with the candidates recommended by the ministers, and these candidates were all his beloved concubines. However, the recommenders were not concerned about the national system, but for their personal interests, and could only laugh it off. The emperor preferred to establish Concubine Zheng as the new empress. She came from a noble family and had good ethics and cultivation. She studied books and history diligently and understood the rule of chaos throughout the ages; she was respectful and had prestige in the harem; she was gentle and graceful, and was really pleasing to the eye when she was with her. However, the time was not right, so there was no need to announce her decision too early.

What is even more commendable is that Concubine Zheng has a deep understanding of the emperor. In view of his love of painting, he proposed to reform the Royal Academy several times in order to expand the scale of the institute, to attract lost famous painters, and to cultivate new talents. The emperor was worried about the lack of new entertainment projects. After listening to her suggestions, he praised it very much, so the activity of the Reform Academy, which was very popular, quickly launched. This move had a huge impact on the history of painting in the Song Dynasty and even in the history of Chinese painting. The original intention of Concubine Zheng's proposal at that time was to make the emperor have satisfactory things to do in his spare time in government affairs. The emperor was squandering and loving closeness to evil spirits. With elegant artistic creation activities, he could use his talents to alienate some slanderous ministers like Cai You. Her intention was good.

In October of that year, the emperor officially appointed Concubine Zheng as the queen, and personally wrote an imperial pen, saying that she was "sassy and cautious in her body, and was virtuous in the harem." Empress Zheng was determined to be the righteousness of the motherly rituals of the world. When she was admitted to the canonization ceremony, she said that the country was not worth enough and everything was simple. She only used the old crown of the concubine to be used as the queen's crown, ceremonial guards, flags and other requests to reduce the request. She knew that her cousin Zheng Juzhong was recruiting power and bribery, manipulating the salt banknote market, and did not deal with the state system, but based on personal interests. After the canonization, she stated that she was of the same clan as Zheng Juzhong.

The state relatives should not interfere in political affairs. So Zheng Juzhong was removed from the position of Privy Council and was transferred to the position of the Scholar of Guanwen Hall. Empress Zheng kept in mind the orders of Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Wang, served the emperor with all his heart, and did not forget to advise when encountering problems. In order to give the emperor a legitimate entertainment, she devoted great enthusiasm to the Painting Academy, which made the Painting Academy have great development during the Zhenghe period. We will explain the Painting Academy in detail later.

Zhao Ji once particularly liked to go out to the palace to buy spring, thinking that being with Wang Fu and Cai You was an unexpected affair, and he was indulging in pleasure and was not subject to any restrictions on the etiquette and etiquette he had repeatedly promoted.

Anyone who has something to do can cleverly cover it up occasionally. However, the emperor has made a few trips, wearing people's clothes and riding in sedan chairs, which gradually attracted people's attention. The secrets of the palace have always been talked about by people, especially the news that the Supreme often goes to brothels and restaurants has spread wildly and spread very quickly. Since Empress Dowager Chongen died of sudden illness, this kind of romantic news has become much inferior, and now there are new chapters, which have caused many legends in the city.

The ministers kept silent. The ministers who dared to speak out for the past twenty years of the emperor's rule had already been demoted. No one expected that an eighth-rank official would write a letter to speak out. This person was Cao Fu, the secretary-general of the Secretariat. Cao Fu's courtesy name was Dezai, and he was from Sha County, Nanjianzhou.

In his memorial, he wrote that Your Majesty was tired of the monotony of the deep palace and often went out of the streets. At the beginning, the subjects were worried and dared not say it, but now they just talked casually, saying that one day led the way to a certain place and when to return. He also said that the sedan chair in the micro-travel was known to everyone to avoid it in time. Your Majesty bears the heavy responsibility of the world, and even if he does not cherish himself, he should consider the safety of the country. Now the world is troublesome, defaming Buddhism, tiring taxes and labor, and banning the land and forbidden lakes. How can the people be content with peace? If someone carries a ill-hearted intention and causes an unexpected accident, the consequences will be unimaginable! And prostitution is good and good

A lowly person, generally, does not enter the door of a little ritual and righteous person, let alone Your Majesty is the emperor! If the people of the world know about it, they will be recorded in history by historians, saying that they will be slightly disguised and stay in a prostitute on a certain month and day, wouldn’t it be a laughing joke? Besides, the favoritism uses lustful words and lewd voices to deceive Your Majesty, because they want to maintain their position and seek personal gain. Your Majesty should demote evil spirits, be close to loyal and kindness, take care of the dragon body, eliminate happiness, take your body as a role model in the world, and benefit the people in the world! I offend the power of heaven and know that I will be given an axe. If Your Majesty can listen to the advice, I will still be alive even if I die!

The emperor thought that the secret actions were extremely secret and outsiders would not know. When he saw Cao Fu's memorial, he couldn't help but feel angry and ordered the ruling minister to interrogate Cao Fu.

Dazai Yushen asked, "The ministers should discuss major affairs in the court. Why did your little word "regular" violate the rules and violate the rules and discuss major affairs in a vain?"

Cao Fu replied, "It's a big deal, but unfortunately no minister dares to speak out, so the small official has to report the report. The official positions are big and small, and the love for the king and the people is the same."

The young master Wang Fu pretended not to know about this and deliberately asked the left chief Zhang Bangchang and the right chief Li Bangyan beside him, saying, "Is there anything about traveling in a condom?" The two replied that they had not heard of this.

Before writing the letter, Cao Fu knew that he would be convicted this time, so he recklessly accused him and said, "The people in the capital are all legendary. Why don't the minister know about the country? Even this matter is not as good as ordinary people. So what's the use of establishing a minister!"

Wang Fu hated him for contradicting him, and he was guilty of being a thief, so he asked him to make a statement as evidence. He picked up the pen and wrote, "The memorials submitted have factual basis, and there is no other request for a mere heart, just to protect the emperor!"

Afterwards, the emperor heard Wang Fu's report on the interrogation and asked in confusion, "Cao Fu is a small official with a sesame seed. Why do you know the secrets in the palace!"

Wang Fu took the opportunity to answer, "Yu Taizai's disciples are fellow townsmen and Cao Fu. It must be that Dazai revealed the news, so he was ambiguous when interrogating."

The emperor knew that Yu Shen was the confidant of Tai Shi Cai. He was about to let Tai Shi Cai retire, but he wanted to remove Yu Shen from his position as Taizai. He also punished Cao Fu heavily in order to eliminate the bad influence of "rumor". So Cao Fu was demoted again and again, and finally was under the jurisdiction of Chenzhou.

For a long time since then, the emperor really lived in silence and no longer traveled in vain. This was not because he followed the advice and changed evil to good, but because he read the secret reports from Jingdong and Jingdong, all walks of life in the west, saying that the people were resentful because of the misfortune in the Xicheng Kuotian. A large number of powerful people who lost their land had flowed into the capital, saying that they wanted to seek revenge. Many young women wandered in other places, working as servants and prostitutes, and also had resentment. Although the emperor loved to play, his life was more important after all.

The Kuotian Sect mentioned above was established by the emperor's personal approval a few years ago. The Kuotian income was exclusively for the imperial front. At that time, a clerk named Du Gongcai, who had always been famous for his good deeds and litigation. He offered advice to Yang Jian, saying that many fertile land around the capital were originally public fields, and should be investigated and cleaned up so that the lost public fields would be returned to the original owner. This statement is somewhat based on some reason. As early as the time of Emperor Shenzong, there were many wastelands, deserted beaches and ponds in the capital area. The emperor issued an edict to recruit people to reclaim them, and whoever cultivated them would belong to them. It stipulated that the reclaimed households were exempt from taxes and service within five years, and only five acres of land would be collected after three years of reclaiming land. These measures were deeply loved by the people and after decades of hard work.

Most of the original wastelands have become fertile land, and the reclamation areas have flourished.

Seeing that it was profitable, Yang Jian sent his confidant eunuch Li Yan and Du Gongcai to trial it in Ruzhou (now Linru County, Henan Province) and Henan Prefecture (now Luoyang City). They commanded the officials of prefectures and counties to legislate the land to investigate the land certificates of the households in the reclamation area. From A to B, from B to B, and from B to C, they found that they were all public land. Without mentioning Emperor Shenzong's edict on land reclamation, the land was back to the Du Gong. Later, the scope continued to expand. Li Yan and others searched for many public land in a vast area, crossing the Yellow River to the north, reaching Mianchi to the west, and reaching the south to Tangzhou (now Tanghe District, Henan) and Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan City, Hubei) and all of them were collected as public land.

The officials of the prefectures and counties knew that Yang Jian was a great celebrity around the emperor, and the money and goods obtained from the fields were used directly by the emperor, so they all tried their best to be loyal to seek promotion and wealth. They forced the original landlord to make a contract to rent the land and pay rent and tax immediately. Anyone who did not want to make a contract was shackled and handcuffed and sent to prison, tortured and forced. Of course, the government fished out and repeatedly pulled the net to sort it out, and the gold and silver and items were quite considerable. When the emperor saw Yang Jian and Li Yangong's fruitful results, he couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, his private money increased again. The huge civil engineering project during the political and economic period.

A lot of gold and silver in the treasury have been consumed. He is worried about insufficient funds! So he issued an edict to praise Yang Jian for being able to detect lost public fields, recover the income that the royal family deserves, and take practical measures, and ordered all parts of the country to widely implement the experience of the Xicheng Kuotian Institute.

Yang Jian and Li Yan continued to work hard. They promoted the method of raising fields implemented in Ruzhou to various routes in Jingdong Road and Huainan Road. In addition to raising fields, they also forced the reclaimers to establish a contract to rent based on the abandoned dikes, barren mountains, barren land and river silt beaches of Kuotian. Liangshan Pai on Jingdong Road gathered the river water of several prefectures, and was surrounded by 800 miles. The waterway was connected to Bianjing in the west, Qilu in the north, and Xuzhou in the south. The moors were rich in fish and shrimp, and the reeds were dense, and many farmers, fishermen and boatmen in Ji, Yun and other prefectures relied on this moor to make a living. Yang Jian ordered taxes to be collected according to the size of the ship, and calculated daily and monthly, and it was difficult to escape. If there was any violation, they would be punished as a thief.

After the search for the land that was originally publicly owned by the Jingji area, Li Yan instigated clerks and scoundrels to sue the people and scoundrels to sue, saying that the land passed down from generation to generation was also public land. The landlord took out the official seals to prove it, and Li Yan ordered all of these seals to be burned. All the land in Lushan County, Ruzhou was included as public land. The landlord refused to accept the appeal, and the appealers were tortured one by one. Liu Yuan, the magistrate of Queshan County, Caizhou, killed more than 1,000 good people in the court. The four beauties in the Tang family brothels in Qingshui Lane, Panlou East Street mentioned above were bankrupt when the fields were constantly being covered in Xicheng. Tang Jingmei was born in a scholarly family in Lushan County. After her parents were arrested and imprisoned, she sold herself to redeem her father. Tang Huamei's father was the deceased devil who was killed by Queshan County Magistrate Liu Yuan, and she had nothing at home, so she had to sell herself to bury her father.

People say that the officials of prefectures and counties are crazy. As parents, they should have loved the people as their children, but now they use the power of the court and prison to seize the people's land and wealth, and become the leaders of robbers! People all suspect that the emperor is crazy. He claims to be the Taoist emperor, but why is he inhumane to govern? He claims to be the new policy of Xining, why did he use the Shenzong's edict to reclaim wasteland and use the official seals of the past as waste paper? Originally, there is a way to steal, and he does not steal the poor families around him, but now the emperor is the first

The looting of the people's land and wealth in the capital area made the family of pride and wealthy, from the farmer to the farmer, turn into beggars overnight. Since the emperor cut off the life of the kind people, the powerful and heroes among the people rose up, first in groups of three or five, and then the young men gradually gathered together. The rebel army led by Song Jiang gathered in Liangshan in Liangshan, traversing Qi and Lu, and destroying the official army. In this situation of storm and rain, how dare the emperor continue to act rashly and travel in contempt?

Little did they know that it was because of the Kuotian Temple in Xicheng that the rebellion of Song Jiang and others was directly caused.
