Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

"But when the Tang Dynasty was truly established, Li Yuan and his son immediately put this matter behind them..."

"I have to say that the Li family are the real masters."

Zhou Yi smiled all over his face.

"They know what promises they should keep."

"And what kind of promise is completely the same as nonsense. It's just a means of taking advantage of the situation."

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and other emperors of the Tang Dynasty all held their heads high and their chests high, triumphant.

He didn't blush at all because he broke his promise.

They keep their promises in small things, and for the sake of the common people, they will not hesitate to break their promises in big things.

They didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Many emperors also feel that it is very normal, and this is just a normal method.

However, in history, many emperors and generals have harmed the interests of the country and the people of the world for the so-called promises.

They don't feel guilty at all.

Those people think that they are a model of morality when they say what they say.

They simply don't know right from wrong, and don't know good and evil.

"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were indeed no war horses."

"But with only two thousand horses borrowed, a country was founded."

Zhou Yi said.

"Relying on this family background, Tang Taizong eliminated the warlords of various separatist regimes little by little, and finally established a unified dynasty."

"If you say that the Tang Dynasty made a fortune, it is not much better than Zhao Kuangyin."

"On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin is much easier than the Tang Dynasty. He added a yellow robe, and the state of Zhou Dynasty was completely handed over to him."

"All civil and military ministers, 4.5 are all available."

"He just changed his country name."

"However, the Northern Song Dynasty had 20 war horses and did not establish a unified country like the Tang Dynasty. This is a bit unbelievable."

"This is related to Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of first going south and then going north."

"After the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin decided to eliminate the Southern Tang and other countries in the south first, and then move his army northward."

"However, after he wiped out the various regimes in the south one by one, and then tried to deal with the Daliao Kingdom, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"When he first established the country, the national strength of the Daliao Kingdom was not strong, and it was a good time to eliminate it in one fell swoop."

"And when he flattened the south, the Daliao Kingdom took the opportunity to develop, but at this time it can't be wiped out in one go."

"Zhao Kuangyin lost his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rule the world in vain.

Chapter 259 The Northern Song Dynasty Died in Peace

"I see."

"We've all been duped by the so-called history experts."

"Is this the truth?"

All the audience couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"This group of so-called experts who confuse black and white!"

Some viewers gritted their teeth angrily.

Zhou Yi looked at many netizens through the big screen.

"So the things on the Internet are true and false, don't blindly follow the trend."

"And you have to judge for yourself."

"There are many people who like the Song Dynasty and cover up for him in every possible way, regardless of the information, which is clearly recorded in black and white."

"As soon as the Song Dynasty's military was poor, it was said that he had no land to raise horses. This kind of whitewashing method is too inferior."

"The Tang Dynasty borrowed 20 horses to establish a brand new dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty's founding situation was much better than that of Li Shimin. With [-] horses in hand, they did not even rule the world."

"This shows that the Northern Song Dynasty has its own problems."

"Except for Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of first going south and then going north."

"There is another more important reason, because the Tang Dynasty detonated the Anshi Rebellion, Zhao Kuangyin learned his lesson, beware of generals, and released his military power with a glass of wine."

"Implementing the policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs, the status of generals is very low."

"Every time the army goes out, the generals are completely unable to judge freely."

"All operational commands are planned by the imperial court in advance, and no military commander can change them without authorization."

"Even the place where the camp is set up must fully comply with the imperial court's will."

"If you violate it, no matter whether you win or lose the battle, you are responsible. If you win, you will have no credit. If you lose, you will be more responsible."

"And if you completely follow the marching plan given by the imperial court, even if you lose the battle and the entire army is wiped out, the imperial court will not hold you accountable."

"Not to mention these generals, they can't change their minds without authorization. Almost every military operation is supervised by soldiers."

"A literati is in charge of monitoring."

"A literati who doesn't understand military affairs at all can command a large army, and even more blindly command when the two armies are at war."

"The outsider directs the insider."

"Zhao Kuangyin overcorrected. He was wary of generals, even to the point of guarding against thieves."

"And after Zhao Guangyi usurped power, his descendants continued to resolutely implement this strategy, even worse, but worse."

"If such an army can win the battle, it will be an anecdote in the world."

"For a long time, no one wanted to be a soldier and fight."

"And the common people did not have a sense of identity with the imperial court."

"This world belongs to the Zhao family, not to each of them."

"Each of them just wants to have fun, that's all."

"Therefore, the entire Song Dynasty was filled with an atmosphere of drunkenness and dreams."

"Starting from Zhao Kuangyin, maybe each of their emperors felt that it was better for the country to die in the hands of a foreign race than to be overthrown by their own people." Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stood up and loudly distinguished for himself.

"Mr. Zhou Yi, what you said was wronged, I was really wronged!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at all the emperors present, and said seriously: "At the beginning, I really did this to guard against generals."

"But I didn't expect that those descendants would go even more extreme and completely abandon generals."

"I'm not very reusable, but I'm not trying to belittle."

"And the later generations actually belittled it, but still insulted it. This is really too much."

"If I knew that the shame of Jingkang would happen later, such a shameful and humiliating thing, I would rather the whole world perish at the hands of the people."

"Such a spineless dynasty, it's fine if it perishes earlier."

Zhou Yi looked at the emperors, and at the people of the heavens and the world, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"After the Liyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty exchanged all kinds of porcelain, gold, silver and jewelry at low prices for the war horses of the Daliao Kingdom, even though they were not the best horses."

"But also be able to charge the front line."

"The Great Liao Kingdom once issued a decree to prohibit the sale of horses to the Central Plains."

"But whether it's ordinary people or nobles, they are unheard of for their own interests."

"The Song Dynasty secretly possessed countless low- and middle-class war horses in the Liao Kingdom."

"But because the emperors and ministers, down to the people, are unwilling to fight, so no one has the intention to regain the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures."

"And the Daliao Kingdom is also satisfied with getting the items they like from the Central Plains in the trade exchange every year."

"Both countries died in peace."

"Born in sorrow, die in peace. This sentence is indeed true."

"When these two dynasties became increasingly decayed and dark, in the far northeast, the Jurchens began to rise suddenly, and finally wiped out these two dynasties."

"Subsequently, the Jurchen Kingdom began their historical reincarnation again."

Zhou Yi's faint voice finally stopped.

Ying Zheng, Li Shimin and other emperors stared wide-eyed, feeling a little depressed.

"The Song Dynasty is a bit rich." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said.

"But how many of them came to plunder the common people? And how many of them were truly wealthy?"

"It's unimaginable that such a wealthy dynasty would not be prepared for danger in times of peace," Ying Zheng said.

"If all this wealth is given to Datang, I believe that the territory of Datang can at least be doubled." Tang Taizong Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Thousands of miles further to the west from the Western Regions, those foreign countries will also be brought under my Tang rule."

"It's a pity that the Song Dynasty was good at raiding its own people."

"When dealing with foreign enemies, you become servile. 493"

"Being ruthless to one's own people, but being extremely kind to outsiders, could it be that outsiders are the masters of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi said with a smile: "Father, our two generations can now completely learn from the commodity economic model of the Northern Song Dynasty and vigorously develop our country's economy."

"When we have enough money, we must go west to conquer all the territories and people."

"Just now, Hai'er has carefully studied some measures of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"He learned a lot from our Tang Dynasty."

"We still have fangs in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the war before the founding of the country, all the fangs were disrupted."

"There is no barrier between people."

"Everyone can freely trade and do business. It is much more convenient."

"The economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was developed, mainly because the commodity trading was much stronger than ours. It was completely improved according to your original commodity economic measures."

"Northern Song had nothing truly groundbreaking inventions of his own."

"Of course, what Haier is talking about is economic strategy."

"We can't tear down the square now, but we can definitely use various measures to promote the development of the commodity economy."

"For example, businessmen are strongly encouraged."

"Encourage the exchange of goods."

"All inventions and creations are encouraged.".

"Anyone is encouraged to mine and pay taxes to the state."

"We want to withdraw from the national treasury's tax revenue, which is mainly dependent on food, and instead collect it from industry and commerce."

"Just paying land rent, you won't receive much tax at all..."

Tang Gaozong talked a lot in one breath.

Li Shimin nodded incessantly. Just now when he was researching why the Northern Song Dynasty was so developed, he had discovered the clue.

The commodity economy in the Northern Song Dynasty completely adopted the various measures he proposed, but the Northern Song Dynasty pushed it a little further.

A little bigger than he could take.

In other words, the prosperity of the commodity economy in the Northern Song Dynasty was not due to the economic acumen of Zhao Kuangyin and others.

But society had already developed to this point at that time.

As long as the emperors of the Zhao family don't go against the trend of history, push their boats along the current, and slowly advance along the pulse of history, the commodity economy will naturally develop.
