“These removed generals, regardless of their ability to fight on the battlefield, according to the selection criteria of historical books and literati, have more or less some problems, or...” Li Shimin understood.

"Wu Zhou? The Zhou Dynasty founded by a person with the surname Wu? Could it be that our Tang Dynasty was similar to the Han Dynasty and was seized by Wu Zhou?"

["Li Guangbi, the King of Linhuai County of the Tang Dynasty, who defeated the An Lushan Rebellion many times and was evaluated as 'the first in military achievements in the revival', was expelled from the list."]

["Zhang Qiqiu, the governor of Shuofang of the Tang Dynasty who was selected into the Temple of Martial Arts for 'undefeated in his life' and had no military achievements, was expelled from the list. I personally think he is the only person who should be expelled from the list."]

["Guo Yuanzhen, the Duke of Dai of the Tang Dynasty, who conquered the Turkic and Tibetan troops without fighting and expanded the territory by 1,500 miles, was expelled from the list."]

【“These twenty-three people were removed from the Temple of Martial Arts according to the standard of ‘those who have always performed flawlessly in their achievements.’”】

【“In general, among the fifteen people in the nine versions of the Four Saints of Military Science, except for the chief priest Jiang Ziya who could not be removed, and Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty who was not yet born, the mainstream four people, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Han Xin, and Bai Qi, were removed.”】

“There are nine versions of the Four Saints of Military Science? Which nine? Who are they?”

“You are definitely not one of them!”

“Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Han Xin, and Bai Qi, the four of them were called the Four Saints of Military Science by later generations?! ”

【“Among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Bai Qi and Lian Po were removed.”

【“Among the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin and Peng Yue were removed.”

【“Among the three heroes of Shu Han, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were said to be able to defeat ten thousand people, were removed.”

【“Yang Su, the god of war of the Sui Dynasty, was removed.”

【“Li Guangbi, who was recognized as the first in the military exploits of the Restoration and was better than Guo Ziyi in pure fighting, was removed.”

【“But what’s interesting is that if we talk about flawlessness, Li Guang, the lost general of the Western Han Dynasty, and Deng Yu, who was defeated in Guanzhong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, these two people with obvious defeats Wu Han, who was so cruel that his own people were forced to rebel in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had a bad character, but he survived and was not removed from the list. "】

【"The standard of 'selecting those whose achievements are always flawless' seems to have not been fully implemented."】

【"I just want to say that either the flawless standard should be implemented to the end, or the list should be based on military ability."】

【"Such a double standard may be the reason why many people prefer to recognize the Tang Wu Temple rather than the Song Wu Temple!"】

"I have a reason for doing this!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know who to explain to.

He didn't know who to explain to. The military generals he removed from the Wu Temple were irritable and had already started to greet him from a distance.

"Zhao Kuangyin!"

"Who is his ancestor? I want to chop him off!"

[All the powerful military generals in history were swept out by Zhao Kuangyin! Is the Wu Temple still a Wu Temple?]

[I am not surprised that such a thing happened in the Song Dynasty!]

[The weak Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs to the extreme! ]

[The famous generals eliminated by Zhao Kuangyin are divided into six categories: disloyal, unkind, arrogant, fighting for power, few achievements and truly wronged. ]

[Wu Qi, Lian Po, Peng Yue, Wang Sengbian, Wu Mingche, Wang Xiaojie, Li Guangbi and others, as well as the controversial Han Xin, did not serve only one master for their entire lives, or had ulterior motives, and were labeled as disloyal by Zhao Kuangyin. ]

[Bai Qi, Duan Ji, and Yang Su were considered unkind by Zhao Kuangyin. Han Xin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, He Ruobi and others were arrogant. Zhou Yafu, Tao Kan, Shi Wansui, Yang Su and others were fighting for power. Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Yuanzhen and others had few achievements. Sun Bin, Deng Ai, Du Yu, Murong Shaozong and others were truly wronged. ]

[Zhao Kuangyin kicked these people out of the Martial Temple to warn his ministers to be loyal and not to be unkind, unjust, arrogant, or power-seeking. Even if they were wronged, they shouldBear it. ]

[What a joke, Zhao Kuangyin himself was a disloyal minister! Zhao Kuangyin's eating manners were too ugly! ]

[Zhao Kuangyin used this excuse to sweep all the powerful generals out of the Martial Temple. I guess many generals despised him in their hearts at that time. ]

[The Martial Temple is for anyone who has the ability to enter, and who is good at fighting. If it depends on the emperor's preference, it would be better to directly change the Martial Temple into the Temple of Loyal Ministers! Putting loyal ministers from all dynasties in it will have a better effect! ]

"Temple of Loyal Ministers? That's a good idea!"

"People in later generations are right! Zhao Kuangyin's eating habits are too ugly!"

...

[God of Carts in Gaoliang River, Emperor Chezong of Song, God of War of Donkey Carts, King of Poison, Strongest Pharmacist of Song Dynasty, Originator of the Pornographic Photos, Founder of Weak Song Dynasty, Most Shameless Emperor in History - Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi#History#Northern Song Dynasty]

"How many bad things did Zhao Guangyi do? He has so many titles!"

"The last person with so many titles was Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty!"

"Unlike Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty...it's hard to describe!"

Zhao Guangyi himself looked extremely ugly.

【“He is the emperor with the worst reputation in the Song Dynasty, the protagonist of the Candle Shadow and Axe Sound Case, suspected of murdering his brother and plotting to usurp the throne, and also suspected of poisoning his younger brother, nephew and the last emperor of Southern Tang. He was called the Poison King. He led the army in person, but was beaten and fled on a donkey cart.”】

【“He not only took the wife of Li Houzhu by force, but also ordered people to paint a picture as a souvenir.”】

【“He is the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi.”】

【“Zhao Guangyi’s original name was Zhao Kuangyi, the third son of Emperor Xuanzu of Song, Zhao Hongyin, and Empress Dowager Du. He was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin. He changed his name to Zhao Guangyi to avoid his brother’s name, and changed his name to Zhao Jiong after he ascended the throne.”】

【“On October 19, 976 AD, At night, Zhao Kuangyin urgently summoned Zhao Guangyi to the palace to discuss matters, and his attendants were not allowed to ask questions. "]

["During this period, someone saw the flickering of candlelight in the palace from a distance, and heard Zhao Kuangyin stabbing the ground with an axe and saying loudly: Do it."]

["That night, Zhao Kuangyin died."]

["Empress Song sent eunuch Wang Jie'en to summon Zhao Kuangyin's fourth son Zhao Defang to the palace, but Wang Jie'en went directly to Kaifeng Prefecture to invite Zhao Guangyi."]

[Zhao Guangyi claimed that according to the Golden Casket Alliance made by Empress Dowager Du before her death, he would inherit the throne of his brother Zhao Kuangyin, and pass the throne to his younger brother Zhao Tingmei a hundred years later, and then pass it back to Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao a hundred years later."]

["So Zhao Guangyi successfully ascended the throne and became Emperor Taizong of Song."]
