At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 608: How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?

"Song Taizu's move is really brilliant," Liu Xiu said, looking at Zhao Kuangyin with great admiration. Since ancient times, the military power has been the thing that emperors like them are most worried about.

The ancestors in front of the sky curtain also thought about this problem, but the emperors after the Song Dynasty shook their heads and felt that it was not advisable. They looked down on the weak Song Dynasty.

"In order to consolidate your rule, Emperor Taizu of Song also implemented the basic national policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military power. This move completely reversed the situation of military dictatorship since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

It also led to unprecedented development of the politics and culture of the Song Dynasty.

However, many people also say that it was because of Emperor Taizu of Song's act of giving up military power over a cup of wine that the Song Dynasty became strong in culture but weak in military, which led to the subsequent situation.

Well, actually, there was nothing wrong with what you did at that time, Emperor Taizu of Song.

You were born during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was a very chaotic time. Just listening to me talk about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can give you an idea of ​​how chaotic it was. So, Emperor Taizu of Song was afraid that some people would be like you. In fact, this is very reasonable. Therefore, the safest thing to do was to seize their military power and hold it in your own hands.

All we can say is that if people are not good enough, they can just blame the uneven road.

It’s just that at that time, Emperor Taizu of Song proposed to govern the world together with the literati and not to kill the ministers who gave advice, which directly raised the status of civil officials too much.

Until the situation became increasingly serious, the civil officials began to attack the military generals, resulting in the military generals having no chance to make a breakthrough.

This still needs to be balanced. Emperor Taizu of Song, you also know the Song Dynasty that I mentioned before, so it depends on you how to make specific changes.

You are the Taizu, and the future development of the Song Dynasty depends on the leader," said Li Wu. This leader is indeed extremely important.

"Of course there is. It may be a bloodline problem. After all, most of the later emperors are descendants of Emperor Taizong of Song. Emperor Taizong of Song naturally cannot be compared with you, Emperor Taizu of Song. The later emperors were so cowardly. It may also be a bloodline problem. It's hard to say. After all, Emperor Taizong of Song, cough cough," Li Wu's mind was only filled with the image of Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, riding a donkey cart.

This caused her to laugh unkindly.

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned from black to white, and then white to black. His expression was so ugly that it could not be described. He really wanted to beat Zhao Guangyi up. This younger brother really deserved a beating. But when he thought of their friendship over the years, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to kill him.

"What the little immortal said actually makes sense. Although I don't know much about Emperor Taizong of Song, as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to dig holes," Wang Mang said indifferently.

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was standing in front of the sky curtain, turned green with anger and started cursing at Wang Mang who was standing on the sky curtain.

The other emperors of the Song Dynasty also had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. What did Wang Mang mean by this? Was he saying that they were rats?

What's wrong with what their emperor has done? They think he has done a very good job, what else do they want!

Most of the comments were mocking and looking down on the Emperor of Song, especially the people of Ming Dynasty, who always targeted Song Dynasty and thought they were too weak, so weak that they had no popularity. They had money, people and generals, but they just wanted to negotiate peace, like a coward. Who wouldn't be angry?

The people of the Song Dynasty were numb, really. Just keep cursing and cursing, they didn't know what to say anymore.

Sky

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Wang Mang and said nothing, although he felt that what Wang Mang had just said was not a good thing. After all, he and Zhao Guangyi were brothers.

"Ahem, let me continue to talk about your deeds, Emperor Taizu of Song.

After you, Emperor Taizu of Song, established the Song Dynasty, you successively put down the rebellions of the Zhaoyi Jiedushi and the Huainan Jiedushi and consolidated your regime.

At that time, Emperor Taizu of Song saw that there were many separatist forces all over the country, so he said to Prime Minister Zhao Pu: How can I allow others to snore beside my bed!

What I mean is that I can't sleep because everywhere outside of my bed is other people's territory.

So, under the advice of Zhao Pu, Emperor Taizu of Song, you strengthened centralization, reformed the military system, developed production, and consolidated your rule.

After two years of preparation in many aspects of politics, economy, and military, the strategic decision was made to conquer the south first and the north later, and to conquer the easy areas first and the south later. The country occupied Jinghu, attacked Hou Shu, destroyed Southern Han, and pacified Southern Tang, thus successfully unifying the south.

It ended the situation of feudal separatism and warlord fighting in China that had lasted for more than two hundred years since the An-Shi Rebellion.

But it's a pity that you, Emperor Taizu of Song, died unexpectedly later. Otherwise, with your strength, unification should not be a problem. "After all, Zhao Kuangyin was really capable and strong, but his death was too inexplicable. Then Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, ascended the throne. How could he compare with Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin? They were not even on the same level.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin became even more furious. He now wished he could go back and beat Zhao Guangyi up severely. This damn guy must have been the one who murdered him, otherwise how could he have died?

If he was still alive, how could the Song Dynasty not be unified? He had to be very confident in his own strength. If the Song Dynasty was unified, there would be no need for the subsequent problems. How could their Song Dynasty be ridiculed by other dynasties!!!

It's all Zhao Guangyi's fault.

"Does Emperor Taizu of Song want to beat his younger brother now?" Wang Mang knew what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking at a glance. He didn't even need to guess, he could tell from his expression. You know, the word "unification" is so tempting.

Zhao Guangyi was trembling in front of the sky. He still felt extreme pain all over his body. If he was beaten any further, he would die, really die.

"He deserves a beating indeed," Liu Xiu nodded in agreement.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly. He had only drunk a few glasses of wine. If only it were that simple. Alas, it was all his fault that he valued family affection too much and was reluctant to kill his brother.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin so sad, Wang Mang and Liu Xiu looked at each other, then turned their heads away with disgust at each other.

"Emperor Song Taizu, don't you still have a chance? Now that things haven't happened yet, there is still a chance to change, right?

Whether the Great Song Dynasty can be unified depends on what you do, Emperor Taizu of Song. I think Emperor Taizu of Song will definitely not let us down," Li Wu also comforted him. Zhao Kuangyin said that he was comforted, put down the wine glass and bowed to Li Wu, saying, "Thank you, little immortal, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be unified in the future!"

"Then I will wait for good news from you, Emperor Taizu of Song," Li Wu smiled and continued, "Then I will continue to talk about your deeds. In 968 AD, you led troops to attack Northern Han twice, but both times you returned empty-handed because the Liao Kingdom sent troops to assist.

In 976 AD, Emperor Taizu of Song launched his third attack on Northern Han, but the attack ended due to his sudden death.

It was not until 979 AD that Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi personally led the army to destroy the Northern Han.

It is said that on the day that Emperor Taizu of Song passed away, you were drinking in the palace with your younger brother Zhao Guangyi. The next day, it was discovered that you had died mysteriously at the age of 50.

Later, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, so many people think that it was Zhao Guangyi who did it, but I don’t know the specific circumstances. "
