Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 238

"Xiao Lin, tell the truth, according to the historical materials and classics you have read in later generations, in the Song Dynasty established by me, for more than 300 years, which majestic and powerful monarch was born?"

In the brightly lit pavilion, Zhao Kuangyin is majestic, still wanting to know the future.

It's just that he's going to be disappointed.

Looking at the long history of more than [-] years in the Song Dynasty, is there a Gai Tianming Lord with great talent and strategy?Is there a Ninth Five-Year King who can be compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty?
Except for Zhao Kuangyin, I have counted all the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and it seems that I really can't find a qualified one!

Lin Feng replied truthfully, "Senior, there were a total of 18 emperors in the two dynasties of the Song Dynasty, and the Zhao family emperors who came to the throne later, none of the emperors' martial arts and martial arts can reach the level of your senior."

To put it bluntly, it is the subsequent Emperor Song, one crop is not as good as one crop.

"what……"

Zhao Kuangyin was a little confused, his mind was confused, and his expression was unbelievable.

Lin Feng said again, "If there is, maybe Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, who ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness for 40 years, can barely reach your level. It can be said that he is still far behind you, the founding emperor."

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to cry, but he thought his rule was the beginning of the heyday of the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning, it was the peak.

"Are the children and grandchildren of the old Zhao family really that bad?" Zhao Kuangyin still couldn't believe this fact.

Then he muttered again, and in an extremely emotional tone.

"Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty, and two emperors, Wen and Jing, came out. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great god who overwhelmed an era, rose up and swept away the Xiongnu. The power of the Great Han Dynasty reached its peak..."

"Li Yuan established the Great Tang, produced a Li Shimin known as the king of the Central Plains, created the rule of Zhenguan, and Tang Gaozong who conferred Zen on Mount Tai, conquered hundreds of countries, and made the territory of the Great Tang a historical crime. The Tang Dynasty was pushed to the most prosperous and prosperous, creating a prosperous Kaiyuan era, and the power of the Tang Dynasty deterred overseas..."

"My Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty, why did the old Zhao family fail to give birth to a few powerful emperors in China?"

Zhao Kuangyin was extremely unwilling, and in the end he made a sound of despair like a trapped animal.

Before Lin Feng came.

Before this dialogue between ancient and modern times, in Zhao Kuangyin's imagination, he must have felt that there would be several emperors who would be famous throughout the ages in the Song Dynasty, who could compare with Emperor Wenjing, Emperor Hanwu, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, etc., but who would have thought, The reality is so cruel.

Song Dynasty emperors in general.

However, due to the extremely developed economy and the prevailing style of writing, there are the most ancient celebrities in this era.

For example, Wang Anshi, Han Yu, Su Shi, etc., their talented works are all shining in this era.

That's the truth.

Lin Feng continued to talk about the subsequent situation of the Song Dynasty.

For example, the Song Dynasty did not have any good emperors worthy of praise, except for the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin. It is a pity that he died suddenly at the age of 50, which is a pity.

Since Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were worse than each other.However, the national strength of the Song Dynasty was not bad in the world at that time. Be a fat man.

For example, compare it with Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Ming Zu.

There was really no emperor in the Song Dynasty who was qualified.

After all, they failed to regain Yanyun Sixteen States in the Song and Song dynasties.

In order to let Zhao Kuangyin have the most intuitive understanding, Lin Feng did not hesitate to use a more favorable way to summarize the emperors of the Song Dynasty one by one.

...the most masculine emperor of the Song Dynasty and the most successful emperor Taizu.

The most artistic emperor Huizong.

The emperor with the most famous ministers and the most prosperous economy during his reign was Renzong.

The emperor Xiaozong who tried his best to govern and wanted to make a difference.

The most unfilial emperor is Guangzong.

Emperor Duzong with the lowest IQ.

The most lustful Emperor Lizong.

The most reforming emperor Shenzong.

The emperor Zhezong who died young the most.

……

Hearing these words, Zhao Kuangyin's face turned dark. Sitting across from him, his expression became more and more tangled. This was completely different from the powerful Song Dynasty he had hoped for.

Many viewers, seeing this picture, couldn't help but start to sympathize with this Song Taizu.

"Host, don't talk nonsense!"

"The Song Dynasty's national oak lasted more than 300 years, and it was established after destroying many countries. In fact, it is not that bad."

"Zhao Kuangyin just died early. He died before the Northern Han Dynasty came. With his ability, how can the Northern Han Dynasty's cloudless land not be destroyed? Moreover, he is also an entrepreneur, but it is just the starting point for him to start a business." It's just higher."

"However, the popularity of the various emperors in the Song Dynasty is really not as great as the celebrities of that period."

"There are also some emperors who are famous because of their courtiers."

"Because of Wang Anshi's political reform, Song Shenzong became famous, and because of General Yue who served the country loyally, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou rose..."

"Speaking of which, why didn't there be a monarch with great talent and strategy in the Song Dynasty for more than [-] years?"

"Good fellow, do you really think Qiangu Mingjun is a Chinese cabbage?"

"In the feudal history of 2000 years, among the hundreds of emperors, there are only a few who can truly be called eternal emperors."

"There's no need to be like this. Except for two or three idiots, the emperors of the Song Dynasty are actually pretty good. Otherwise, how could the weak Song Dynasty last for more than three hundred years?"

……

In the lens.

It also analyzed the reasons why there were no powerful emperors born in the Song Dynasty after the Taizu Emperor.

"Senior, I think the biggest problem lies with you, not the emperor who will ascend the throne later." Lin Feng said something surprising, Zhao Kuangyin seemed a little unclear about what he said, so the audience who watched the show were also at a loss water.

In the Song Dynasty, no great emperor was born out of nowhere. The reason was the Taizu?

is it possible?
Lin Feng explained that Zhao Kuangyin's biggest problem was short life.

This is also the biggest pain for many emperors.

He gave an example of Daqin, if Qin Shihuang lived for 20 years, or even ten years, or even five years, as long as the power is transferred smoothly, there is a high probability that there will be no such thing as Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and there will be no such thing as Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

It is also far from saying that Cao Cao lived ten more years, Cao Pi lived ten more years, or even Cao Rui lived ten more years, there is a high probability that there will be nothing wrong with the Sima family.Without the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, there would be no chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China.

Finally, if Zhao Kuangyin can live ten more years and preside over the Northern Expedition, there will be no such thing as Zhao Guangyi, an amateur military enthusiast.

Without Zhao Erxia's command, there would be no Gaolianghe fiasco.If the Youyun Sixteen States are really recovered, the Great Song Dynasty will have natural defenses on the one hand, and the production area of ​​war horses on the other.Liao, Jin and Xixia can only eat sand honestly, and cannot get in. At least it is always possible to maintain a balance of power.

Is this pot really going to fall on Zhao Kuangyin?
Modern viewers disagree.

Among them, one of the more professional ones issued barrages and gave his own analysis.

No matter how you study history, you cannot talk about characters out of context.In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the usurping of the throne by generals was an endless cycle, which seriously affected the stability of the country.In the situation of the latter week, Zhao Kuangyin's behavior can only be said to continue the predecessors, after all, Guo Wei's success in the country is also at this rhythm.

From the perspective of God, the release of military power with a glass of wine caused the Song Dynasty to emphasize literature over military affairs, which is very negative in the long run.But at that point in time, it can be said that the cycle of usurping power by the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was ended.No matter how bad the Song Dynasty was, it was better than the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.It is still correct and positive at this point in time.The pot should not be given to Zhao Kuangyin, but the later emperor should be blamed for not being able to keep pace with the times and reform the military system.

But it comes down to it.

The host Lin Feng's words were not wrong, Zhao Kuangyin died too early.

If you live ten more years.

It can leave a better family background and a better environment for the later emperor Zhao.

Maybe one or two of the sons of heaven who came to the throne later, were the sons of the overthrowing era.

Because Zhao Kuangyin passed away prematurely.

Facing the situation of internal and external troubles, the emperors of later generations could only implement conservative national policies.

There are two sides to the matter!
The emperors of the Song Dynasty did not sweep the alien race, nor did they have the grand strategy of ruling the world, but when they were in power, their economies were all leveraged.

"Xiao Lin, can you let the emperors of the old Zhao family show up one by one?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked.

Lin Feng was taken aback, "..."

Let him fight through time and space, and gather all the other 17 great Song emperors?

Is it possible, Taizu, you want to reprimand each of them face to face?
