Chapter 198: After Reading the 319 Years of History of the Song Dynasty in One Breath (4)

[After Zhao Guangyi's death, his son Zhao Heng successfully inherited the throne, that is, Song Zhenzong in our history.

This emperor was very talented in governance, and reused talents such as Li Xin and LΓΌ Duan, so that the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty has been greatly developed, and the national tax revenue has become extremely rich.

Under the Xianping governance of Song Zhenzong, the national strength of the Northern Song Dynasty surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty and was known as the "rule of Xianping".

However, the tranquility of the Northern Song Dynasty did not last long. In 1004, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty and Liao Shengzong personally led a large army south to attack the Song Dynasty.

Under the strong recommendation of Kou Zhun, Song Zhenzong decided to take the expedition in person and successfully stopped the Liao army's attack in Lanyuan. In the end, Song Zhenzong chose to sign the alliance with the Liao Dynasty, ending the years of war and achieving a hundred years of peace between the two countries.

In order to cover up his mistakes in handling the relationship between Song and Liao, Song Zhenzong began to whitewash the peace.

He sealed Mount Tai in the east and built a wide palace in an attempt to restore the majesty of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, these moves cost a lot of manpower and financial resources.

With the passage of time, Song Zhenzong's illness gradually worsened in his later years, and the power of the court was gradually controlled by Empress Liu E.

In 1022, Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong died at the age of 55. His death marked the end of an era in the Northern Song Dynasty and laid the groundwork for the future empress Liu E to take control of the government. 】

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the contents of the canopy, and he smiled playfully.

He knew that no one could resist the temptation of the throne, and sure enough, after Zhao Guangyi sat on the throne, he finally passed the throne to his son.

Even in ancient times, except for a few former emperors who gave the throne to the throne, since Dayu, which emperor was not his own son?

Although there are a few cases, they are very rare.

But seeing the performance of this emperor on the canopy, it looks very good.

After all, looking at what is said in the canopy, during the reign of this emperor, the country's economy has been greatly developed, and the country's taxes have become extremely rich.

It was even more when the emperor and empress of the Liao State personally led the army to attack the south, and also successfully prevented the attack of the Liao State.

Not only that, but it also signed the alliance of the Abyss, which brought peace to the whole country for a hundred years.

It's just a pity that Song Zhenzong's illness gradually worsened in his later years, and the queen grasped the power.

Qin Shi Huang, as an emperor, and even more so as an emperor who ascended the throne at an early age, deeply knew what it felt like to have great power in the hands of others.

It wasn't until he became an adult that he really took control of all the rights.

Qin Shi Huang felt that if he couldn't even control the rights of a real estate, it would be better not to be an emperor.

Han dynasty.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty saw the video on the canopy, although he thought that his merits should be considered okay among the emperors, but seeing what Song Zhenzong did, he felt a little overshadowed.

After all, this kind of emperor, who can not only invigorate the national economy and make the people rich, but also can personally defeat the enemy, is really quite capable.

Although he is also doing this, the Huns have not yet attacked, and he has not personally conquered, which is really overshadowed in front of this Song Zhenzong.

Then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was thinking about whether he wanted to drive the expedition in person, but then he dispelled this idea.

Although he has great ambitions, he is not one of those generals after all, and he is very likely to get lost on the road in the territory of the Xiongnu.

At the same time, he also believed in his Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, and believed that they would definitely be able to solve the problem of the Xiongnu.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao watched the video on the canopy, and he also admired Song Zhenzong very much.

After winning the battle, signing a covenant in exchange for a hundred years of peace is really a great ability.

If it weren't for the incomparable turmoil in his Three Kingdoms, it would be impossible for him to make peace because of a paper covenant, and Cao Cao really wanted to give it a try, would he be able to solve this kind of problem with literati?

As for Dongfeng Taishan's Guangjian Palace, it is really what should be done, after all, such a feat, how can it not let heaven and earth know?

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang didn't see the video on the canopy, and he suddenly added a lot of goals to himself.

After all, if he wants to be an emperor like Qin Shi Huang and Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, how can he be surpassed by later generations?

Yang Guang believed that after he completed these goals, he would definitely be able to become an emperor like Qin Shi Huang and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

So Sunshine issued various orders to make those craftsmen even more busy in their busy lives.

There are even craftsmen who die suddenly because of a long period of busyness.

However, Yang Guang didn't know about this situation, and even if he knew, Yang Guang would not change.

After all, he is the one who wants to become the emperor of the ages, how can he let those people delay?

Song dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin watched the video on the canopy, and he nodded slightly.

Although this emperor is not his direct descendant, after all, he is from his old Zhao family, how can he ignore it because he is not his descendant.

However, this emperor really lived up to his expectations, not only to make the people rich and strong, but also to defeat the Liao State in a competition, and to win a hundred years of peace for him in the Great Song Dynasty, he was really more suitable to be an emperor than his younger brother Zhao Guangyi.

However, when he saw that his nephew had let the queen grasp the imperial power in his later years, it really made him feel uneasy.

After all, Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, is really a lesson from the past, is my uncle going to have such an empress?

With this question, Zhao Kuangyin continued to watch the video.

At the same time, Zhao Guangyi watched the video on the canopy, he laughed and sighed: "You are worthy of being my son, you really have the ability!" ”

At the same time, he also felt that he had made the right choice to pass on the throne to his son, otherwise how could he make the people rich and strong, and the country was full of government and government.

And also signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, so that the entire Great Song Dynasty will have no boundless disasters for a hundred years.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the video on the canopy, and he smiled coldly.

He had studied this emperor and knew what he had done.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor went to Mount Tai to seal Zen in order to cover up his mistakes in handling the relationship between Song and Liao, and took down the entire Mount Tai, Zhu Yuanzhang might have gone to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

But after learning about this emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer interested in the Taishan Fengzen.

After all, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, started from the end of the slightest, and sat on the throne step by step.

Although compared with the emperors of previous dynasties, what he did was not excellent, but compared with this Song Zhenzong, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could not afford to lose this person.

Moreover, the signing of the Yuanyuan Alliance, although it ushered in a hundred years of peace for the Great Song Dynasty, could make the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty not improve in the slightest, and even gradually decline.

And the generals of the Great Song Dynasty were gradually suppressed by the civil officials, and they no longer had the slightest intention of opening up their territory.
