The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

After half a month, Zhao Yang and the others finally captured Dading Mansion.

The Liao people saw that the Dading Mansion was taken away by the Song Dynasty, which hit them very hard.This time, they really felt the fear of fear.

Facing the Song people, the Liao people have always been arrogant and contemptuous. Even if the Song people successively attacked Liaoyang Mansion in Zuojing, Datong Mansion in Xijing, and Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, they still held an arrogant attitude, thinking that the Song people would not be able to attack Dading Mansion. , I naively thought that the soldiers of Dading Mansion could destroy the army of Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that Dading Mansion was captured by the army of Song Dynasty.

Zhongjing Dading Mansion is not far from Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.Da Song's army captured Dading Mansion, which meant that Da Song's army came under their noses.

The army of Song Dynasty could fight in front of them, this is something that the Liao people would never think of.If someone had told them before that the people of Song Dynasty would capture their Dading Mansion, they would definitely think it was a joke, but they didn't expect the fact to be in front of them now.

Over the years, the Liao people have always been superior to the Song people.In order to please them, the people of Song Dynasty gave them hundreds of thousands of money every year.Not only that, but also send other good things.In the eyes of the Liao people, the people of Song Dynasty are their dogs, they are not to be feared, and they are allowed to be slaughtered.

In fact, the people of the Liao Kingdom have always wanted to go south to attack the Song Dynasty, but in the past ten years, the wind and rain in the Liao Kingdom have not been smooth, and the harvest has not been good.If they attack Song Dynasty, they will not have enough food and grass.

Besides, the people of Song Dynasty have been giving them money, and they can use the money to develop people's livelihood.After the Liao Kingdom has "rested and recuperated", it will go south to attack the Song Dynasty, and it will definitely be able to completely capture the Song Dynasty by then.It's a pity that they didn't expect that the people of Song Dynasty would take the initiative to attack them, and they were not opponents of Song Dynasty.

There was a dispute in the court of the Liao Kingdom. Half of the people felt that they should fight the Song Dynasty to the end, and the other half felt that they should negotiate a peace with the Song Dynasty.

King Liao was unwilling to negotiate peace because he couldn't hold back his face.Da Song has always been looking for them to negotiate a peace, and now it is too shameful for them to go to Da Song to negotiate a peace.However, if they fight Da Song to the end, their chances of winning are very small.

After struggling for a while, King Liao decided to fight Song Dynasty to the end.After his decision, many people fled from the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing overnight, and many ministers of the court and central government ran to Dading Mansion to ask Zhao Yang and the others for peace.

These people who seek peace are all people who have business dealings with Zhao Yang and the others.It was also these people who kept sending news to Zhao Yang and the others.

A few years ago, Zhao Yang established a firm.This firm is specially used to do business with the people of the Liao Kingdom, and has sent a lot of money and good things to the ministers of the Liao Kingdom over the years.

These ministers were fascinated by wealth and did not want to lose gold and silver treasures, so they were willing to pass on news to Zhao Yang and the others, and were willing to submit to them.

Not only many ministers fled, but also many members of the royal family, including several sons of the Liao Kingdom, and some concubines of the Liao King.In fact, King Liao also wanted to escape, but before he escaped, many of his courtiers ran away, which made him very angry.

The ministers who did not escape vowed to fight the people of Song Dynasty to the end, but they were not opponents of Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yang and the others originally thought that it would take a lot of time to attack Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, but they did not expect to capture Linhuang Mansion in less than a month.

Before the fall of Linhuang Mansion, King Liao fled in a panic and fled to the northwest.

After Zhao Yang and the others captured Linhuang Mansion, they didn't stop there. He sent Di Qing and the others to chase the fled Liao people, and they must not let them go.

After capturing the Linhuang Mansion, it not only meant the complete capture of the Liao Kingdom, but also the recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Since Shi Jingtang sold Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, he has not taken back Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for hundreds of years.Historically, it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were truly recovered, and it had been 400 years since then.

The significance of taking back the Yanyun Sixteen States is really important.As I said before, the Yanyun Sixteen States are the line of defense protecting the Central Plains and the line of safety against foreigners.With the sixteen characters of Yanyun withdrawn, the common people can live with peace of mind, and the country can also develop people's livelihood with peace of mind.

After completely conquering the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Yang did not rush back to Bianjing City, but stayed to rectify everything.

In the territory of Liao Kingdom, of course, there are the most Liao people, and many ordinary people did not escape.Of course, there are also many Han Chinese.

For the remaining Liao people, Zhao Yang adopted a soft policy.If they sincerely submit, then they will become citizens of Song Dynasty.Of course, as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, one must abide by the rules, etiquette, and laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

Over the years, these Liao people have been used to living a stable life, so they are not willing to leave their hometown and live in exile.They surrendered with a sense of current affairs and were willing to be the people of Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the Han Chinese who stayed in Liao.They have always claimed to be Song people, and now they have become real Song people, and they are very happy.

The customs and customs and etiquette of the Liao people are completely different from those in the Song Dynasty.Of course, these Liao people who were left behind must be taught well.

Zhao Yang wrote a letter to Song Renzong, asking his father to send someone to teach these Liao people who surrendered the Four Books and Five Classics and the rules and etiquette of the Song Dynasty.

When Song Renzong mentioned this matter in the court, the civil servants unanimously agreed with this decision and signed up enthusiastically.The civil servants were very willing to educate the people of the Liao Kingdom, and they wished that all the people in the world would learn the classics and history collections.

In addition to sending people to teach the Liao people the Four Books and Five Classics, officials were also sent to manage them.

This faction needs to send many people.Fortunately, in these years, the most important thing in Song Dynasty is officials.Although Zhao Yang used the assessment system to eliminate many officials before, the overall number of officials in the Song Dynasty was still large.

The imperial court acted very quickly, and not long after, many officials and gentlemen were sent over.

After they came over, Zhao Yang still didn't rush back to Bianjing City, but stayed to watch and teach them how to manage it.

Di Qing and the others chased the remaining members of the Liao royal family all the way to the northwest, and killed many of them.People from these royal families fled in all directions, some fled to Goryeo, some fled to Mongolia, and some even fled to the territory of Turkey and Russia in later generations.

The members of the royal family of Liao had a deep understanding of the ferocity of the Song army this time, and they would never despise them as before.In the next ten or 20 years, the Liao people would never dare to be an enemy of Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yang didn't want ten or twenty years of peace, he wanted hundreds of years of peace, so he would never let the remaining Liao people go, and he would not let the Mongols and Jin people take advantage of it.

Although neither Mongolia nor the Kingdom of Jin have the idea of ​​fighting the Song Dynasty, after all, they are not as strong as they were in the next few decades.However, in order to prevent future troubles, they must be deterred first, so that they will never have the idea of ​​going south to attack Song Dynasty.

However, in the past few years, Zhao Yang will not attack the Kingdom of Jin or Mongolia. After all, he has been attacking Xixia and Liao for these years. The soldiers are tired, so they should be allowed to recuperate.However, we still have to continue to pursue the Liao royal family.If he can cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, Zhao Yang wants to get rid of the roots completely.

His Royal Highness took back the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and the news of the defeat of the Liao Kingdom was reported back to the Great Song Dynasty. Naturally, the whole country celebrated with joy.

After Song Renzong heard the news, he immediately went to worship his ancestors and told them the good news with tears in his eyes.

The generals are of course very happy, after all, this is their long-cherished wish.Now that it finally came true, many of them cried.Like Song Renzong, they worshiped their ancestors and told their ancestors the great news.

Civil servants have always opposed His Royal Highness to attack the Liao Kingdom.Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has defeated the Liao Kingdom, they are really excited to take back the Yanyun Sixteen States.

Yan Shu and Wen Yanbo said that His Highness the Crown Prince was right, they were short-sighted and underestimated His Highness the Crown Prince's strength.They will never object to His Royal Highness sending troops in the future.

The civil servants knew in their hearts what the withdrawal of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun represented. If they objected again and said some disappointing words, they would be historical sinners.

Taking back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has another important meaning, that is, the great unification of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing that Zhao Yang had not come back for a long time, Song Renzong and Empress Cao kept writing letters urging him to come back.

It took Zhao Yang and the others more than two years to attack the Liao Kingdom this time, which was a little less than expected, but for Song Renzong and Empress Cao, they hadn't seen their son for more than two years. Miss you so much.

Zhao Yang also wants to go back to Bianjing immediately, but there are still many things that have not been arranged in Linhuang Mansion, so he can't go back for the time being.

Half a year after the defeat of the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Yang set off to return to Bianjing.When he returned to Bianjing City, it was already the end of the year.

On the day he returned to Bianjing, Song Renzong went to meet him outside Bianjing in person, as well as ministers and common people.

The moment they saw His Royal Highness, the ministers and the common people were very excited, shouting "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

All the common people in Bianjing City came out to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince back home.Not only that, but people from other places also rushed to Bianjing City to meet Zhao Yang.

After Zhao Yang returned to Bianjing safely, Song Renzong immediately announced amnesty for the world.This amnesty to the world is mainly because the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have been taken back, which is worthy of universal celebration.

Wang Pangpang and Cao Xu didn't come back with them. They still had things to do and had to stay in Linhuang Mansion.What's more, they still need to check the news of the Jin country to prepare for the attack on the Jin country in the future.

Back in Bianjing, Zhao Yang finally saw his son.

His son looked exactly like him when he was a child, very delicate, beautiful, and very intelligent.

Although the little guy has never seen Zhao Yang's father since he was born, Zheyun showed him Zhao Yang's portrait and kept telling him about his father, which made him always know that he had a very powerful father.

When the little guy saw Zhao Yang, he was no stranger at all, and he was very happy to call him "Daddy".

Seeing that his son not only knew himself, but also got close to him, Zhao Yang knew that it was Zheyun's credit, and he was very touched, and at the same time owed a lot.

Song Renzong asked Zhao Yang to take a good rest for a while.Empress Cao and Zheyun were busy being mended by Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang also wanted to rest for a while and reunite with his family.

In the coming year, Zhao Yang will become busy again, because Song Renzong plans to pass the throne to him in advance.
