Emperor Ai of the Song Dynasty went "crazy" before he ascended the throne and was forced to change his edict before he died. He even had a "fake corpse" after his death.

The fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, was the longest reigning emperor in the Song Dynasty, but he was full of regrets about the inheritance of his children. Zhao Zhen's three sons all died young, and he had no children in his later years, so he took his nephew Zhao Zongshi into the palace and prepared to make him the prince.

Zhao Zongshi, whose original name was Zhao Zongshi, was the thirteenth son of King Puanyi. His mother is Shiren, the king of Xianyou County. Legend has it that when Zhao Yunrang was serving as the governor of Jiangning, he dreamed that the sun was trapped with two dragons, so he used his clothes to catch up with them. Soon, she gave birth.

After Grandmaster Zhao was born, he was brought to the palace when he was less than three years old. As the prince's reserve army, he was raised by Queen Cao. At that time, Song Renzong was full of expectations and dreamed of having a son in his later years, so he didn't care about Grandmaster Zhao. However, the facts did not go as Renzong wished. Until the end, Renzong still didn't get his son.

Grandmaster Zhao lives far away from his parents and lives in the inner palace. His identity is unknown, so he suffers from depression all year round and even has some fear. History books say that he suffered from "mental illness", which is actually a very serious mental illness and can also be understood as mental illness. After establishing the crown prince and crown prince, Grandmaster Zhao's condition did not improve. When Renzong died, Mr. Zhao was even more "screaming and unable to get married" during his filial piety.

Even so, Grandmaster Zhao ascended to the throne under the operation of Empress Cao and Prime Minister Han Qi. At the beginning of Yingzong's accession to the throne, he granted amnesty to the whole country, rewarded officials, eliminated long-standing abuses, and reused Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and others, which made great achievements.

But the good times did not last long, and Yingzong fell ill soon after. All major events in North Korea are decided by Queen Cao. At this time, some eunuchs were waiting for opportunities to create conflicts, and the relationship between Yingzong and Empress Cao gradually became tense. Later, after Yingzong recovered from his illness, he returned to power. This happened again and again, for about four years. Finally, in November of the third year of Zhiping, Yingzong fell ill again, became bedridden, was critically ill, and was about to die.

At this time, Prime Minister Han Qi and others invited Yingzong to explain the candidate for the prince on the sick bed. The dying Yingzong no longer had the strength to write. After repeated invitations from Han Qi and others, Yingzong finally wrote down "Make the king the crown prince." Han Qi and others saw what Yingzong meant and wanted to make Wang Ying the crown prince, but others may not think so. The emperor's edict was unusual and its generation was unknown, easily causing confusion. So Han Qi invited Yingzong to add the comment "Wang Ying is rotten".

At this time, Yingzong had exhausted all his strength, had mixed feelings in his heart, and his condition was getting worse. On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Zhiping, Yingzong died of illness in Funing Hall at the age of 36.

Even after Yingzong died, there was no silence. According to historical records, "The emperor arrived early and summoned the prince urgently, but before he arrived, the emperor resumed work manually." This means that before the prince came, Song Yingzong, who was already riding a horse, made another move. The ministers thought that "the corpse was left alone", but only Han Qi was unusually calm and said: "The First Emperor is resurrected, but the emperor is too great." After all this, Yingzong, who had been tortured all his life, finally fell asleep.
