At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Zhao Kuangyin clenched his fists. Who else could have done it? It must have been his younger brother. Look at how guilty he looks.

"It must be an accident," Zhao Kuangyin forced a smile. Although he did not want to doubt his younger brother, he was indeed the most suspicious.

"It's not impossible," Li Wu continued. After all, there is no evidence in history to prove that Emperor Taizong of Song murdered Emperor Taizu of Song, and Emperor Taizu of Song himself once said that he wanted to pass the throne to Emperor Taizong of Song, so it is really hard to say what the truth of this matter is.

“Emperor Taizu of Song, you have been in office for 17 years, working diligently and conscientiously, and you have never used killing to win people over.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he has never killed any of his subjects lightly.

Even the royal family and old ministers of the Later Zhou were well accommodated.

In the process of annexing other regimes, political inducement was the main approach, supplemented by military strikes.

After the regime stabilized, Emperor Taizu of Song implemented high salaries for officials to maintain integrity, and also engraved a stele in the Taimiao and swore three oaths as a warning to your descendants.

One of them was not to increase taxes on farmland, so there had never been a large-scale peasant uprising due to tax issues during the Song Dynasty.

It can be seen that you, Emperor Taizu of Song, did a very good job as an emperor and cared about the people. It's a pity. I have already talked about your deeds here. I toast to you, Emperor Taizu of Song," Li Wu raised his glass, and others followed suit.

"Thank you, little immortal," Zhao Kuangyin nodded to Li Wu to express his gratitude, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"Then can I tell you about your achievements and faults, Emperor Taizu of Song?" Li Wu put down the cup and asked. Zhao Kuangyin nodded hurriedly. Of course he had to listen to this, especially the faults. Only after listening can he make changes.

Wang Mang looked lazy and absent-minded while eating. He didn't know where his thoughts had drifted to. However, his eyes were always looking at Liu Xiu. It was unknown what he was thinking about and he smiled evilly from time to time.

Liu Xiu just felt that Wang Mang had something wrong with his brain. Looking at him like that and smiling so obscenely, he couldn't have any thoughts about him, right? Disgusting, this Wang Mang was really disgusting.

Then, with a 'slap' sound, Liu Xiu hit Wang Mang hard on the shoulder. "Wang Mang, what are you thinking about? Why are you giving me such a disgusting smile?"

Li Wu and Zhao Kuangyin also hurriedly looked at Wang Mang. Wang Mang's smile had not yet been put away. This smile was indeed a little obscene.

Wang Mang quickly stopped smiling and said, "Liu Xiu, are you sick? Who smiled at you? Do you deserve a beating?" Wang Mang was very angry at being interrupted for no reason. This Liu Xiu must be mentally ill.

He has been targeted all the time and he can no longer tolerate it!

"I was just thinking about how to kill you in the game. Who smiled at you? You have a dry old face. I want to vomit when I see it, but you still smiled at you. You're dreaming," Wang Mang said with disgust in his eyes and tone. Liu Xiu pointed at himself and said, "I, you have a dry old face. You have a dry old face. You are older than me, and you still have the nerve to say that to me," Liu Xiu was so angry that he was about to explode.

This Wang Mang doesn't know how to speak, it's so infuriating. He and Wang Mang are sworn enemies.

Seeing the two quarreling more and more fiercely, Li Wu dared not watch the show anymore and quickly spoke out to stop them, "Two seniors, can you please calm down? Now I still want to talk about the merits and faults of Emperor Song Taizu. Can we stop fighting first? Can you vent your dissatisfaction while playing games later?"

Li Wu asked cautiously, hoping that the war would not affect her.

"Since you, little immortal, have said so, I will be magnanimous and not bother with that guy," Wang Mang rolled his eyes at Liu Xiu, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Liu Xiu snorted coldly, "For your sake, I won't hit that skinny old man."

He really wanted to beat Wang Mang severely, but he couldn't really do it.

When Wang Mang heard what Liu Xiu said, he suddenly became furious. This damn Liu Xiu actually wanted to beat him. But when he thought about it, he realized that he really couldn't beat him.

As the old saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. He should not bother with villains.

Seeing that both of them had turned off the engine, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Wu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Please tell me, little immortal."

"Okay, I will start by telling you about your achievements, Emperor Taizu of Song.

The first great achievement was naturally to end the division and unify the country, ending the division that had lasted for more than 200 years since the Tang Dynasty. This achievement is indelible. "

This achievement is recognized by everyone. Although Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne was somewhat immoral, his achievements cannot be denied, right?

Besides, which emperors came to the throne cleanly?

"Emperor Taizu of Song gradually stripped away the military power of the imperial guards through the gift of wine, and established the Privy Council and the Three Yamen to check and balance each other.

The implementation of the policy of elite troops, strengthening training and discipline, effectively weakened local separatist forces and strengthened central power.

In terms of civil governance, Emperor Taizu of Song implemented the concept of "using culture to pacify the country", respected Confucius and Confucianism, improved the imperial examination system, established the palace examination, and provided generous salaries to maintain integrity. This completely reversed the situation of military dictatorship since the end of the Tang Dynasty and made the culture of the Song Dynasty unprecedentedly prosperous.

In terms of economy, Emperor Taizu of Song reduced corvée and taxes, built water conservancy projects, developed production, clarified administration, encouraged agriculture and sericulture, changed customs and habits, and quickly healed the wounds of more than two hundred years of war, enabling the social economy to recover rapidly and achieve unprecedented prosperity.

In terms of military affairs, Emperor Taizu of Song carried out a series of military reforms, established the military farming system to solve the army's food and fodder problems, and established a strong standing army to deal with foreign invasions.

In terms of culture, you, Emperor Taizu of Song, attached great importance to education. You established the Imperial Academy, promoted the development of the imperial examination system, and promoted the prosperity of literature, art, and science.

These are probably your achievements, Emperor Taizu of Song. Of course, there are many that have not been mentioned. Since there are merits, there must be faults. So let me now talk about your faults, Emperor Taizu of Song.

Regarding the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, although you, Emperor Taizu of Song, wanted to take them back, the emperor and generals of the late Northern Song Dynasty paid more attention to literary exchanges and entertainment activities, which led to the decline of military strength, and the Song Dynasty has never been able to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin also felt uncomfortable. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun had never been recovered by his Song Dynasty, which was an immense pain in his heart.

"Don't worry, little immortal, I will definitely take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun," Zhao Kuangyin said. Now that he has so many good things, how could he not be able to take back just the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?

"Then Emperor Taizu Song, come on?

Although the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty had some progress, it was also limited by the times.

The Song Dynasty valued culture over military, which led to the fact that it did not pay much attention to military later on. So, well, you all know what happened to the Song Dynasty later on.

And the fact that you, Emperor Taizu of Song, seized power through a coup has also been controversial. I think you are aware of this. I have talked about your merits and faults. The main thing is to develop the military. The Song Dynasty was too rubbish, ahem, too bad. "
