The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"The Tang Dynasty was indeed as mighty as recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian."

The scene of Li Er coercing the envoy was also simultaneously displayed on the sky.

Seeing this scene, countless people couldn't help but feel envious.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were even worse.

Most dynasties never experienced such a thing, yet those countries outside the Great Wall could be so humble!

"Because the Tang Dynasty was too powerful, and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty wiped out most of the countries outside the Great Wall, I almost wore out the history books just to find a reason to attack the Mongolian Plateau."

Zhu Di complained.

Who knows his suffering!

Our great nation should at least have a legitimate reason for going to war!

"Simple, send a messenger over there, and he will disappear."

"Let's bring them back after we've finished attacking them."

This Liu Che (Emperor Wu of Han) was experienced.

What? A legitimate reason for the attack?

I didn't even give myself this name!

Sometimes, you need to be flexible and adaptable in life.

"Are you all this fierce?"

Zhao Kuangyin sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead.

There's no record of this in the history books!

Are you all this outrageous?

"That's not always the case. By the end of the Han Dynasty, people no longer paid attention to this."

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said.

"Mainly due to the fragmentation of the country by warlords, there were too many uneducated people. It would be too much to ask them to find a legitimate reason to fight. Basically, they would only go when they needed slaves."

"It makes me angry just thinking about it. They made a fortune on their trip, while I almost died of thirst on my way to Wuhuan!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Kuangyin: "..."

No, why are your external enemies so weak, but they become like this when they come into my hands?

This is so unfair!

"Be content, Zhao Heizi. What is that Liao Dynasty? Can it be compared to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty?"

"Good heavens, the Mongol Yuan dynasty that your Song dynasty nurtured, we can say without exaggeration that at its peak they could have easily swept away the Liao dynasty."

"Well, your Zhao Song dynasty was also wiped out."

Zhu Yuanzhang acknowledged the strength of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

Even though his entire family starved to death under the rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, he did not shirk any responsibility that needed to be acknowledged.

Compared to the Mongol Yuan dynasty's iron hooves, the Jin dynasty was truly like a child's game!

"Don't worry, once I receive the immortal's reward, I will naturally deal with them. Whether it's the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, or the Mongol Yuan Kingdom you mentioned, they will all cease to exist!"

Zhao Kuangyin was absolutely certain.

Given time, the Liao Dynasty, though powerful, is not as dangerous as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period!

He was able to unify the Central Plains, so naturally he could also resolve the threat from the Liao Kingdom and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun!

"Although it can't change everything that's happened here, if you, Zhao Heizi, can really do it, then we'll respect you as a true man!"

Old Zhu said with a smile.

At the same time, the writing on the sky also began to change.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, also known as Emperor Taizu of Song.

It ended the fragmentation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and almost completed the great achievement of unification!

During his 16-year reign, in response to the problem of military governors holding too much power at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he twice used the "banquet to release military power" to concentrate military power in the imperial court.

The elite troops from various regions were incorporated into the Imperial Guard, further weakening the power of the regional military governors.

While it's difficult to definitively say whether emphasizing civil affairs over military matters has advantages or disadvantages, at least in his hands, and in the hands of a wise ruler who could maintain a good balance between civil and military affairs, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

After a series of decisions, he followed the strategy of Prime Minister Zhao Pu and set the unification policy of first conquering the south and then the north, and starting with the easy tasks and then moving on to the difficult ones.

While setting the policy for foreign wars, he also further improved the imperial examination system and centralized various powers under the emperor's authority.

Whether in domestic affairs or foreign wars, he did almost everything he could.

Unfortunately, he died young and was unable to achieve unification. His successor, Zhao Guangyi, also completely destroyed his hard work.

But no matter who succeeds him, his achievements cannot be erased.

Throughout thousands of years of history, their names should be among the ranks of wise rulers.

Zhao Kuangyin was filled with fervor.

No matter who succeeds him, his achievements cannot be erased!

This is something the immortals acknowledged, which means that future generations will certainly also acknowledge this statement!

His achievements should never be erased by that foolish little brother!

"What the immortal said is quite fair."

"In terms of both domestic affairs and foreign wars, if we only look at the sixteen years he was in power, Zhao Heizi did a good job."

"Of course, what we admire most about him is that, as an emperor, he was indeed the most capable fighter!"

Old Zhu once again said what he considered to be a fair statement.

But when this topic comes up, some people are no longer sleepy.

"Oh? The best fighter? I'd like to know, just how good is he?"

Li Er was not satisfied.

I was in the army when I was a teenager, and I have fought countless battles and killed generals in single combat!

You say Zhao Kuangyin was the most capable fighter, then where does that leave me?

"It's hard to say whether the two sides will fight in battle, but if it's a one-on-one duel, Erfeng, you really are no match for Zhao Heizi."

Old Zhu is telling the truth.

Zhao Kuangyin was a man of real martial arts skills!

"Mainly because he comes from a family of martial artists and is exceptionally talented, it is said that most of the martial arts practitioners in the entire Song Dynasty learned his Taizu Long Fist."

"Although we don't think much of cowards, Zhao Kuangyin's martial prowess is still undeniable."

"Oh? And what about me?"

Xiang Yu has emerged.

Old Zhu: “…”

Zhao Kuangyin broke out in a cold sweat that instantly streamed down his forehead.

In terms of fighting prowess, there are very few people he fears, but the name of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, is indeed somewhat intimidating.

That's someone who, according to official historical records, achieved a hundred-man kill streak on several battlefields!

"You don't count, you didn't become emperor."

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what was important. Comparing himself to Li Er was one thing, but comparing him to Xiang Yu was somewhat putting Zhao Heizi in a difficult position.

If the immortal were to suddenly decide to have Zhao Heizi and Xiang Yu duel, then the entire Song Dynasty would have to prepare a feast…

"Humph."

Xiang Yu gave a disgruntled snort.

Li Er was equally dissatisfied.

"It's just that I'm too old now. If I were younger, I would definitely ask the immortals to give me a chance!"

When he was young, he also enjoyed dueling with others on the battlefield!

"Alright, alright, it's just personal bravery, nothing to mention."

Zhao Kuangyin quickly stepped forward, trying to skip the topic.

He was genuinely afraid that the immortals would be aroused and cause them to have a one-on-one duel.

At that moment, the writing on the sky also changed.

After realizing this, everyone shut up.

Fresh rewards are here!

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, ranked seventh on the list of wise rulers.

Reward: A lifespan of seventy years, and a yield of 1,000 jin of rice per mu.

Bonus reward: 5 million silver coins.

He has a longer lifespan, but such a reward seems somewhat unworthy of being the seventh wise ruler.

Emperor Wen of Han ranked eighth, and he also possessed this divine object, rice, and even gunpowder.

But Zhao Kuangyin had five million taels of silver...

Many people were puzzled, but Zhao Kuangyin was perfectly clear about what the five million taels of silver meant.

He failed to achieve unification, a fact that the immortals clearly knew and remembered.

This five million taels of silver was a warning to him to recover all lost territory as soon as possible!

Not an inch of land can be lost!
