However, it is such a kind-hearted and benevolent emperor. He reigned for 42 years, and throughout his life, his knees were desolate and there was no successor. All three princes of Renzong Zhao Zhen died young, and only four of his thirteen daughters survived.
Princess Fukang is the eldest daughter of Injong, and her biological mother is Miao Guifei. Miao Fei also gave birth to Zhao Zhen's second son, Wang Yong Zhao Xin.
Princess Fukang was born in 1038, when Zhao Zhen was 28 years old. Zhao Zhen's eldest son praised Wang Zhaoyun, who died a year before Princess Fukang was born.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen, who has only one daughter, regards Princess Fukang as the apple of her eye and loves her in every way.
Princess Fukang was also smart and filial since she was a child. When her father Zhao Zhen was ill, she prayed barefoot and was willing to suffer for her father, which made Zhao Zhen, who had few children, very happy.
With the growth of Princess Fukang and the constant death of Zhao Zhen's children, Zhao Zhen cherished and pampered the surviving eldest daughter Princess Fukang, which can be described as a collection of thousands of pampers.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the princess was given a good name first, and then a country name. When Princess Fukang was twenty years old, Renzong named her Princess Yan.
To this end, Zhao Zhen held a grand conferring ceremony, the scale of which is comparable to the ceremony of conferring the Queen. Princess Fukang also became the first princess to have a conferring ceremony since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
A mother is expensive because of her daughter. In the same year, Princess Miao, the biological mother of Princess Fukang, followed her daughter and was upgraded to a virtuous princess. And her mother's three generations were honored by the emperor. This shows that Injong is deeply interested in Zhao Zhen's beloved daughter.
However, the marriage arranged for Princess Fukang by Zhao Zhen, who dotes on her daughter deeply, is not satisfactory, which also caused the tragedy of Princess Fukang's life.
Princess Fukang's marriage is closely related to the life experience of Injong Zhao Zhen.
The prince in the story of "Civet cats for princes" is Renzong Zhao Zhen. Although the story made up some plots to attract attention, such as exchanging civet cats for children, Liu Fei killed Li Fei, Injong's biological mother. However, in history, Renzong Zhao Zhen's biological mother was indeed, but once born, Liu E took it for herself.
After Liu E's death, Zhao Zhen learned his true life story. At this time, Zhao Zhen's biological mother has been dead for a year.
In order to make up for his mother's shame, Renzong Zhao Zhen raised Li Fei's younger brother Li Yonghe and his own uncle.
Li Yonghe is a poor man. He made a living by selling paper money in his early years. After Liu E won Zhao Zhen, Liu E arranged to be an official out of compensation.
After learning about his life experience in Zhao Zhen, Li Yong was promoted to a higher position, and successively served as captain of guards, deputy commander of the army, ambassador of the army, and minister of Chinese books.
Li Yonghe's son, Zhang Li, was also favored by Injong Zhao Zhen. He served as the commander in front of our time and Wu Shengjun Temple, and was in charge of the imperial army. He was deeply trusted by Zhao Zhen, and Renzong personally wrote the plaque of "Loyalty, Filial Piety and Zhang Li".
Wei Li, the second son of Li Yonghe, is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. At the age of thirteen, Injong summoned him in the temple, and because of his love for talent, he proposed his beloved Princess Fukang to him.
