On February 2, the ministers submitted a letter to Zhao Kuangyin to call the Emperor Taiping. The 50-year-old Zhao Kuangyin refused to allow "Yan Jin has not yet returned, so it can be said that the unification of Taiping is the same." It can be seen that the 16 states of Yanyun and the Northern Han area will always be in the heart of this Emperor Taizu of Song. Unfortunately, his ambitions are hard to fulfill. In more than 8 months, the life of the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty is about to come to an abrupt end. The oath he made during his lifetime, "The King of Yanyun" will become the only eunuch in Chinese history in 150 years.

Cao Bin, the first general of the Northern Song Dynasty, returned triumphantly and submitted a work report to the emperor. "I am ordered to go on a business trip in Jiangnan to work." Before going to the expedition, Zhao Kuangyin promised to "wait for purge of the Southern Tang Dynasty and be appointed as the envoy prime minister." On the way to triumphantly, Pan Mei congratulated Cao Dapingzhang, the general who was about to become the first case of the Song Dynasty. But Cao Bin smiled and said, "This trip south relies on the power of heaven and follow the temple to accomplish things. What achievements do I have? Besides, the envoy prime minister is an extremely verbal official? Moreover, Taiyuan has not yet been pacified." On the 13th, Zhao Kuangyin met the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was a little embarrassed to "give the prime minister a great taste, and Xuzhi, even more so to take Taiyuan for me." As expected, everything was as expected by Cao Bin. Cao, Pan Xiang looked at him.

A smile. Zhao Kuangyin asked Pan Mei why she laughed, and Pan Mei immediately explained. As a result, the emperor felt even more embarrassed and immediately compensated Cao Bin immediately and appointed Cao Bin as the Privy Council, the Privy Councilor and the Jiedushi governor. Cao Bin began to appear in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty from then on. Pan Mei, the Shandong East Road, was also appointed as the Northern Court envoy of Xuanhui. The Jiedushi Councilor and the Jiedushi Councilor also appeared in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty from then on. The emperor rewarded Cao Bin with another 500,000 guan of copper coins. As a result, Cao Bin returned home that day and saw the house full of money... Cao Bin suddenly laughed and said a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, "Why do you have to make a minister in life? Good officials can only get more money."

In February, King Qian Chu of Wuyue and his son Qian Weijun came to Kaifeng in person to meet the Emperor of Song. In the city of Hangzhou, the capital of Wuyue, every Wuyue person was praying for Qian Chu's safety, and even built a "Baochu Pagoda" for him on the Baoshi Mountain by the West Lake to pray for God's mercy.

But Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why, was he suddenly depressed? Or was he sobered up from his spirits after years of war? He was particularly friendly to Qian Chu and solemnly promised that "the marshal has made great contributions to the Changzhou of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I miss you very much. You can come to the court for a while and let you go back soon." Zhao Kuangyin also gave Qian Chu another honor and unexpectedly sent an extremely important person to greet him - his second son Zhao Dezhao. In the past, such occasions were presided over by the imperial brother of the Song Dynasty, Dezhao's uncle, Kaifeng prefect, and King Jin Zhao Guangyi, without exception.

Once, during the meal, Qian Chu gave a speech on the spot. It included the sentence "The golden phoenix wants to fly and is pulled, and the love is thrust, and the jade building is separated by clouds and rain." Zhao Kuangyin heard the string song and knew the elegance, so he immediately stood up, walked to Qian Chu, patted the back of the King of Wu Yue and said, "I will not kill the King of Money". The words behind him suddenly became desolate, "I will do my whole life, and I will do my whole life." Maybe he had expected something? People can only decide what when they are alive. And at this time, it is only more than 7 months before that snowy day...

In early March, Zhao Kuangyin sent Qian Chu back to his country. Before leaving, he gave him a small bag wrapped in yellow cloth and told him that he would only watch it on the way back. Qian Chu was grateful and took the initiative to say that I would accompany you west and let me be your escort. Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, "The customs and conditions in the north and south are different. Now it's about to be hot, so you can go back to China early." Qian Chu cried, but he didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to be so kind to him. He asked him to come and thank Zhao Kuangyin for three years in the future. But Zhao Kuangyin still shook his head, "No need to do this. The mountains and rivers are far away, and it is not easy to travel. When will I write to you, come again."

In this way, Qian Chu returned to his country. On the way, he opened the small yellow cloth bag and found that it was full of memorials from the Song Dynasty ministers asking Zhao Kuangyin to keep him and get Wu Yue without fighting... Since then, Qian Chu even surrendered to the Song Dynasty. History says that after he returned to Hangzhou, he no longer sat in the hall room in the northwest, and always chose to be in the east. Because "the northwest is the capital of the gods. The power of heaven is not against the point of being alone, so how dare you live in peace?" And before every time he pays tribute, he displays tribute in his palace, and burns incense and worships before he is sent out.

But he didn't know his benefactor. Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty had embarked on a road to return home that was difficult to know good fortune. On March 9, Zhao Kuangyin left Kaifeng and went to Luoyang in the west. There was no special reason for going there in history. If there was a certain way, then the biggest and most reasonable statement was that he wanted to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. After all, Anling of his father Zhao Hongyin was there. It was also his birthplace.

Before leaving, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi asked him as usual, "Second brother, when will you come back this time?" He asked naturally. Because every time his second brother left, he had to stay, so he had to ask for the date of return. But this time he waited for a long time, but his second brother didn't answer. Until he was confused and looked up, he found that his second brother was staring at him with heavy eyes. He looked at him in all four eyes, and Zhao Kuangyin slowly said, "No need. This time, you go with me..." Kaifeng left it to his son Zhao Dezhao and fourth brother Zhao Guangmei to guard him.

On the 13th, Zhao Kuangyin and his brother came to Anling, and according to the ceremony, they cried, and all the people were crying. Later, he looked at the city of Luoyang, the western capital of the Song Dynasty. Seeing the magnificent palace in Luoyang, he summoned Henan magistrate Jiao Jixun to commend and encourage him, and was promoted to the governor of Zhangde Army.

Later, there were rumors that he arrived at Zhao Pu's house. After Zhao Pu was dismissed from prime minister, although he had titles such as the governor of the Three Cities of Heyang, he had been living in Luoyang and never participated in any political affairs. This meeting was announced to the public that it was just Zhao Kuangyin taking the opportunity to visit his old friend.

But after leaving Zhao Pu's family, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly proposed that he would not leave and would move the capital from Tokyo Kaifeng to Xijing Luoyang. After a word came out, the world was shocked. A man named Li Fu wrote a memorial to list the eight difficulties of moving the capital, but Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be determined and ignored the truth, so no minister dared to advise. Only Li Huaizhong showed his "loyalty". "Kaifeng has the Bianqu canal transport, and millions of hu of rice are transported from the Jianghuai River every year. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the capital live on this. Your Majesty, you suddenly moved the capital, how to transport grain in Luoyang? Moreover, the heavy troops in the treasury mansion are in Kaifeng, so it is unshakable." It seems reasonable, but Zhao Kuangyin still ignored it. He knew that the person who really did not want to move the capital would come to him soon.

Sure enough, the big bitch King Zhao Guangyi, came. This gentle, polite, decent and generous 'good brother' said a lot to his brother from multiple angles and aspects. But Zhao Kuangyin was determined, and he answered simply and strongly, "Can you move to Luoyang? No! I tell you! Luoyang is just a temporary solution, and I will move to Chang'an in the future."

This involves the differences between the three ancient imperial capitals, Luoyang, Kaifeng and Chang'an. Kaifeng lives in the Central Plains and occupies the benefits of the world's canal. With Kaifeng as the capital, it is destined to be prosperous and prosperous. However, Kaifeng's geographical conditions also imply huge military disadvantages. The wilderness is on all sides and a flat horse. As long as the enemy crosses the Yellow River, it will be directly exposed to the enemy's swords and guns. Luoyang has Hangu in the west and Hulao in the east, which are all dangerous passes in the world. At that time, Li Shimin's Xuanjia elite were helpless against Wang Shichong in Luoyang City. Chang'an was even more of a place of four blocks. The Qin State was safe and sound because of this huge geographical advantage, and it was safe to resist the six countries in the Central Plains. Chang'an City was the most powerful army in the history of cold weapons. Even the Mongolian cavalry could not break the front.

The two longest-lived dynasties in history - the East and West Zhou, the Former and Later Han, were all in Chang'an and Luoyang. Is there any other reason? Will anyone still object? Yes! Zhao Guangyi knelt down to his brother, which is known in history as "the king kowtowed and sincerely advised him."

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to further explain that "the migration of the country is nothing else. He just wanted to take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers and eliminate the harm of redundant soldiers. Learn from Zhou and Han to make the world safe." As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was founded by him. He also always modified various things that were proven inappropriate by experiments. If the miserable "redundant soldiers" in the later generations of the Song Dynasty settled their homes in Kaifeng without any dangers, they had to have a large number of troops to defend. If they move to Luoyang or Chang'an, they could completely change this humiliating policy!

But Zhao Guangyi slowly looked up and said 5 words to his brother. History has proved that these mere 5 words completely determined the prosperity of the Song Dynasty for 300 years, the humiliation and sorrow and the disaster of the country's continuous destruction and mutations since then. The influence of these 5 words will continue to affect until today...

Zhao Guangyi said that "virtue is not danger." As soon as this statement came out, history said that Zhao Kuangyin did not answer. In other words, His Majesty the Emperor was shocked by these five words and had nothing to say.

The matter ended like this. On that day, the big bitch Zhao Guangyi got up from the ground and walked out calmly in front of his brother. Everyone present knew which one was winning.

What's even more strange is that Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to say in front of his younger brother. When his younger brother left as he wished, he looked at his back and said another sentence to his left and right, "The King of Jin's words are good. However, within a hundred years, the people in the world have been exhausted." He still saw it very accurately, and his talented and magnificent eyes are like a torch. But why didn't you say it just now?

There are a thousand people in the world who have a thousand interpretations of the five-word mantra of "being virtuous but not being dangerous". Looking back on the open and secret struggles between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi, can't Zhao Kuangyin really see his brother's ambition? Of course not! Interpretation of Zhao Kuangyin found that his original intention was to stabilize Zhao Guangyi and take Zhao Pu first. No two tyrants can be kept, but there must be order.

First of all, Zhao Pu, who used Zhao Guangyi's hand to suppress it. First, the king would not show up, and the political situation would not be chaotic. Second, it would also reveal Zhao Guangyi's bitch's true form, and no one would say that he would ignore his brotherhood when he attacked in the future.

But Zhao Guangyi has to take one step at a time, and after all, he is his own brother. First, he pushed Zhao Dezhao to the front and then moved the capital. First, it is in line with the national interests, and second, it can solve the urgent problem - Zhao Guangyi is already too big and has a mixed relationship with the forces in Kaifeng. If you want to take it down in one fell swoop, it will surely shock the world. It is better to change the entire team team while moving the capital. In this way, you can get everything done without any hesitation...

But Zhao Guangyi's countermeasures are also very direct: I have firmly grasped the fundamental power of the superstructure. You are the emperor, and the imperial edict is supreme, but people need to implement it. If everyone opposes, can you move alone? Besides, you seek stability in everything, especially cherish the hard-won good situation in front of you. And you are particularly proud of the face and will never leave any stigma... Well! I challenge you on the spot! Unless you turn your back immediately, you have to listen to me!

In this way, Zhao Kuangyin watched his brother walk out of him with satisfaction but was helpless, and he felt depressed. In depressed, Zhao Kuangyin decided to walk around. He returned to his birthplace, Luoyang Jiamaying.

The past is vivid, but Zhao Kuangyin seemed to turn a blind eye and slowly walked towards a shabby alley. "I remember when I was a child, I got a small stone horse, which was often stolen by my playmates. So I buried it here, I don't know if it's still there." As soon as I shouted, someone immediately went to dig it. Sure enough, the stone horse was still there. Zhao Kuangyin took it and silently brought it with him.

Before leaving, Zhao Kuangyin came to his parents' grave again. This time he was sad and suddenly fell to his father's spirit. "I will never worship here again for my life." On that day, the emperor climbed to the corner tower of the cemetery. Suddenly he took a bow and arrow and shot to the northwest with his best efforts, "I will not live here if I live here, but I will be buried here if I die... Where this arrow stops is my cemetery." He took out the small stone horse and ordered people to bury it where the arrow fell to serve as a statement.

On April 11, Zhao Kuangyin left Luoyang and returned to Kaifeng on the 15th. He continued his last half year of life...

On the 21st, Jiangzhou, the last state of the Southern Tang Dynasty, resisted for another 5 months after Li Yu surrendered. In order to punish these stubborn Southern Tang people, the head coach of the Song army, Cao Han, issued a city massacre. This was the only time that was recorded in history in the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty. For the peace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, let us once again pay tribute to the kindness of the first general Cao Bin!

On August 13, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin launched the last expedition in his life. Dangjin was the main general, Pan Mei was the supervisor, and divided his troops into five northern expeditions to Taiyuan! Hao Chongxin, Wang Zhengzhong left Fenzhou; Yan Yanjin, Qi Chaoqi out of Qinzhou; Sun Yanxuan, An Shouzhong out of Liaozhou; Qi Yanchen, Mu Yanzhang out of Shizhou; the brave general Guo entered Daizhou! On the 22nd, the army had reached the city of Taiyuan!

This time, the Song Dynasty sent all the long-time generals who had been stationed in the northwest border for many years. Whether it was Pan Mei, Dang Jin or Guo Jin, they were all brave and brave, and they were not strong enough to accept the sword and gun. They would never leave Liu Jiyuan too much time.

On September 1, Dangjin defeated the Northern Han army at the city of Taiyuan. Liu Jiyuan had no other way. He had no choice but to assemble a pitiful army to defend Taiyuan City, but he could only ask the Khitan for help immediately. Emperor Jingzong of Liao, Yelu Xian, sent Yelu Sha and Taer to lead heavy troops to rescue him.

An unprecedented bloody battle seems inevitable. This is a direct showdown between the peak Song army and the Khitan army that had just recovered from the rule of Sleeping King Mengyong! If the two armies really confront each other head-on, it is unpredictable who will win. But the ending must be amazing, and it is likely to directly change the historical process!

But at this moment, a shocking news suddenly came from the Song Dynasty. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty were instantly stiff and they could not believe all this.
