After all, the ministers couldn't be emperors at that time, and the only thing they wanted was to enjoy wealth and nobility.

Blessed descendants.

Zhao Kuangyin also had a way, gave them what they wanted, and gave them an iron roll to avoid death.

So much so that since he began, the Great Song Dynasty has set the rule of not killing heroes.

Not to mention, this rule has been maintained for more than a hundred years, until Zhao Shuo broke it yesterday.

However, it was Zhao Kuangyin's open-mindedness and generosity that determined the pattern of his dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty was smooth and rainy, and everyone was united.

Because the officials of the Great Song Dynasty at that time all believed that Zhao Kuangyin was burning himself and illuminating them.

As we all know, if you want to calm down the chaotic situation of the five dynasties and ten countries, you have to fight a bloody battle.

Zhao Kuangyin carried the danger by himself, let the brothers eat and drink spicy, and his wife and children hot kang head.

This spirit!

This kind of living imperial leek is really the first time in history.

And the people also call Song Taizu the leek emperor in private!

Of course, this is just a joke in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

This thing is called a glass of wine to release the military power.

But everyone thought that was the end of it, perfect.

Zhao Kuangyin has no threat around him that makes him toss and turn, but he is still not at ease.

As a result, an edict was issued, which set many rules to bind the ministers.

Especially for the feudal officials who have heavy troops, they have adopted the management method of separating military power.

So much so that most of the commanders of the army of the Song Dynasty were civilian officials who did not know how to fight.

Even if a civilian official wants to rebel, he doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't have the talent to command battles, so he will definitely not be Taizu's opponent in the end.

In addition, civilian officials manage the army, and those generals who are really capable of fighting can only watch with their eyes and play soy sauce on the side.

The hero has lost his usefulness, and Zhao Kuangyin no longer has to be afraid.

As for fighting?

Zhao Kuangyin also had a way to specially make a secret tiger talisman for leading the army.

Once there is a war on the border or territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it is necessary to send troops to fight.

Zhao Kuangyin gathered hundreds of civil and military officials on the vertical arch hall, especially focusing on hand-picking a few generals who could fight and win battles in his impression.

Let the generals lead the troops into battle.

It doesn't matter whether the outcome of the war is won or lost.

The important thing is that after the generals return from the battle, they must return the military power to the civilian officials who previously managed the army as soon as possible.

Then you can go and meet Your Majesty!

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin also used the military general restraint system on civilian officials.

He formed the first civil service in history.

A particularly transparent system of cross-management and mutual monitoring is maintained.

Thinking is absolutely ahead of the curve.

However, the social conditions and moral framework of the time did not allow it to mature.

But during the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, the officials accepted it stubbornly.

That's his charisma.

The specific operation method of this system is that the officials in charge of the Ministry of Rites manage the Ministry of Industry.

Officials from the Ministry of Works went to manage the Ministry of War.

The rotation of the military department went to the ceremonial department to walk.

The household department will go to the ministry again.

Nothing to do in the ministry? That's easy!

Go to supervise the province of Zhongshu and give an acting prime minister to do.

Push each other and make progress with each other!

However, such shortcomings were almost exposed in later generations.

First of all, from the military level, it directly determines that the generals in the later period will not be able to see soldiers for a long time.

The soldiers also did not see their commanders for a long time.

Thousands of miles away, singing to each other behind bars and tears.

Who can understand that feeling?

After a long time, the pace of changing generals is also fast.

In the end, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the soldiers will not know the soldiers.

This is directly off the mark.

It is equivalent to the entire Great Song Dynasty, from the scholars in the temple to the ordinary people in cloth at the grassroots level, all of whom are temporary workers.

Zhao Kuangyin can not worry about what kind of flies and dogs are engaged in by a small group.

I am not afraid that some people will form a party for personal gain and plot rebellion.

Because the political soil does not allow it.

But......

When the war came, the generals and soldiers could not reach the combination of eight poles on weekdays, so there was no tacit understanding to form a team to go to the front line to send people to the head.

This led to the death of Emperor Taizu.

The foreign wars of the Great Song Dynasty were almost all fiasco.

The Great Song Dynasty was entrenched in military towns all over the country, and its combat effectiveness was almost the existence of the five scum of war.

Each time, important border towns are falling quickly.

And if the Great Song Dynasty wants to save face, he has to use the Praetorian Guards to guard the capital every time.

However, the duty of the forbidden army itself was to defend the Gyeonggi fortress.

The capital either went north to fight the Khitan cavalry, or went south to fight the naval army of the Southern Barbarians, or went west to defend against the Western Regions army.

Traveling from south to north, from day to dark, in addition to not adapting to the water and soil, you also have to often face enemy troops with different killing styles.

The results can be imagined.

The Forbidden Army also lost battles one after another.

In the end, the emperor of the Song Dynasty felt in a trance, are we too thin?

Do you want to maintain the posture of peace ambassador to the outside world?

Try to grind your lips as much as possible, but don't do it.

As a result, Da Song began to change his thinking and became using money to smash people.

It all started after Taizu and his brother got drunk and died by candlelight.

However, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was also a doer.

The Great Song soldiers he accepted were strong and strong, and the treasury was full.

In addition, after he ascended the throne, it was rumored in the DPRK that he was not in the right position.

So Zhao Guangyi also wants to do a big career.

As a result, the small neighboring countries next to the Song Dynasty suffered.

Among them is Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who is remembered by many literati and writers.

That's right, it's the infatuated Li Yu who was forced to drink to kill his sorrows and put his love on poetry.

When is his spring flowers and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past......

Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Who can understand that melancholy?

After all, he was destroyed by Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi not only accepted Li Yu's country, but also took over Li Yu's beautiful queen!

So Zhao Guangyi began the road of color criticism.

and specialize in this way, and cannot extricate himself.

But he is qualified to enjoy it, because he pacified the chaos of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

It made the Great Song Dynasty a unified dynasty in the Central Plains.

It was also at this time that the Khitan, the real trouble of the Great Song Dynasty, also appeared on the stage of history.

The Khitan was a member of the original Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Hara sub-clan expelled by the Southern Wei regime.

They have always occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Later Jin Dynasty.

During this period, he was robbed of a small piece of land by Hou Zhou.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, because of the ownership of the sixteen states of Yanyun, there has been constant friction with the Khitan.

The eloquent Zhao Guangyi wanted to establish a greater career than his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

So he decided to use troops against Da Liao.

The intention is to regain the lost land of Yanyun.

However, the Great Song Dynasty only found out at this time that after he cleaned up the mess of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army seemed to be becoming weaker and weaker.

Sometimes, there are obviously many large armies, and the number of troops suppresses the Khitan (Liao State), but they can't beat others.

Is this an illusion?

Zhao Guangyi doubted himself more than once.
