Song Palace Ci

The "Golden Chamber Alliance" left over from Zhao Kuangyin's period triggered the struggle for imperial power in the Song Dynasty. Liu E was originally an orphan in Shu. She met and fell in love with the third prince Zhao Heng during the war. After the two people rebelled against each other by the King of Qin, their three sons took over the throne, and the Battle of Chanzhou, their hardships finally came to an end. Liu E has outstanding talents and is careful and respectful in handling political affairs. She is deeply relied on and trusted by Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng lost several princes one after another, and the succession to the throne was imminent. Due to their respective interests, ministers and clan forces either fought with each other or secretly formed alliances. The Song Dynasty faced an unprecedented crisis. When Zhao Heng died, Renzong was young and weak. In order to fulfill the late emperor's last wish, Liu E listened to the government behind the curtain and presided over the government. After that, she ended party disputes, built water conservancy projects, established welfare, properly resolved the disputes and uneasiness of the surrounding ethnic groups, and boldly used new talents such as Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, and Su Xun, which laid a solid foundation for the "Renzong Prosperity" in the more than 40 years after Renzong took power.
