The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 646 Postscript (Final Chapter)
After Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, all affairs were postponed, and he ignored the government affairs. He met with his mother, Wei Shi, and told the last time he had seen his father.When Webster heard that Zhao Ji was not dead, nor was he taken prisoner, and finally died again, the twists and turns deeply affected his heart, which made Webster unbearable and could not afford to get sick.

A few days later, Webster also passed away.Zhao Gou held a state funeral for Webster, also in memory of the former emperor, and decided to stop the court for three days and mourn the whole country.

After Webster's funeral was over, Zhao Gou made up his mind to move the capital. He ordered the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to go to Youzhou, choose a place according to local conditions, rebuild the capital, and relocate the local people. .

The ministers of the DPRK and China opposed Zhao Gou's actions one after another, and he made a resolute choice. For this reason, he specially asked the No. 30 generation of celestial masters in Longhushan to tell fortunes, and the relocation was beneficial to the great Song Dynasty. had to follow.

It was logical for Zhao Gou to move his capital to Youzhou, and there was no longer any obstacle. After three full years, all the decorations of the palace and others were completed, and even the city wall was rebuilt.Therefore, Zhao Gou decided to officially move the capital to Youzhou in the 13th year of Jianye, and changed Youzhou to "Jingcheng" and the reign name from "Jianye" to "Jianyuan".

Therefore, Zhao Gou moved his capital to Youzhou, which was the spring of the first year of Jianyuan.

In the Song Dynasty, the capital was moved to Youzhou, which was a state affair, and Bianjing City was no longer the most prosperous place, and many merchants moved northward one after another.When the capital was moved to Youzhou, Zhao Gou used a series of means to strengthen the control of the land of the Jin Dynasty, and the Mongolian nomads did not dare to disturb the border of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, now that the country of the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the world is peaceful, this is the true prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Be prepared for danger in times of peace. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Now that the Song Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, but it is also the beginning of the crisis in the Song Dynasty. Whether it is Tang Taizong or Tang Minghuang When the Tang Dynasty was extremely strong, it turned from prosperity to decline, and finally the Central Plains were in chaos."

"I have been in charge of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years. However, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached its peak, and there is still some gap with the former Tang Dynasty. From now on, I will pass on my decree, and the Great Song Dynasty will fully open the sea area and conduct trade with Western countries. cultural exchange."

Zhao Gou did not rest on his laurels, nor was he confused by the appearance in front of him. Instead, he felt that it was even more dangerous.Any dynasty will experience prosperity and decline. If the subjects of the Song Dynasty always think that the Song Dynasty is really powerful now, it will be the beginning of danger.

Riding against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

Nowadays, the financial, national, and military power of the Great Song Dynasty are all powerful. Neither the surrounding Mongolia, nor Tubo and other countries dare to fight the Great Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty has the formidable cannon.When the Song army fought, they no longer had a large number of people, but bombarded with cannons. No matter how many troops there were, it was difficult to resist.

In addition, Zhao Gou sent a large army south to Liuqiu to strengthen the control of Liuqiu.Among the army Zhao Gou sent were those who were good at sowing and nurturing, as well as master builders, etc., in order to make Liuqiu rich, which was also Zhao Gou's great wish.

In the fifth year of Jianyuan, the neighboring countries of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of Dali, Tubo, Mongolian Khan and others sent tribute gifts, even the letter of credence.Because the Mongolian Khan did not understand the culture of the Han people, and some Jurchens fled in, this allowed Mongolia to have its own script, but it is a pity that no one in the Song Dynasty could understand it.

In the end, the Mongolian Khan studied Han culture and wrote a new letter of state, expressing his respect for the Celestial Dynasty and willing to bow down.Zhao Gou did not refuse either. In comparison, it is better to solve the problem peacefully than to start a war.

Today, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is unmatched by the neighboring countries.The following year, Emperor Dongying sent a peace negotiator, willing to establish diplomatic relations with Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou agreed.Even Goryeo was willing to bow down to Song Dynasty at this time.

Zhao Gou is not like the previous emperors. Any minister who comes to worship will give a lot of rewards to show his country's strength.However, Zhao Gou will not be stingy, and will give appropriate rewards. If you give too much, it will give everyone an illusion that Song Dynasty is very rich, and some people will covet it after a long time.

In addition, Zhao Gou also sent ministers to neighboring countries as envoys, receiving grand treatment from all countries, and even rewards.However, those ministers did not dare to swallow them alone. They also knew that foreign emperors or monarchs respected themselves and others. All of this was due to the power of the Song Dynasty, and the creator of all this was Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

In the tenth year of Jianyuan, Mongolia bordered Kievan Rus, and the Mongol Khan fought with it. The Mongolian army entered the Kievan Rus area, and finally the army was defeated by the Kievan Rus coalition forces. The Mongol Khan could only ask the Song Dynasty for reinforcements, and finally Yue Fei led the army to go. I never thought that in that battle, because of the Mongolian Khan being secretly provoked by the Jurchen, Yue Fei and other generals were ambushed by the enemy, besieged by the Mongolian army, and finally died in battle.

When the corpses of Yue Fei and other generals were transported to the capital, Zhao Gou was furious and ordered Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong to assemble an army of [-] and lead an artillery force of more than [-] people. These people went directly to Mongolia, Mongolia and Kievan Rus. The war had already seriously damaged its vitality, and it was attacked continuously by the Song army. In the end, the Mongolian Khan died in battle, and Mongolia became the territory of the Song Dynasty.

However, Zhao Gou did not kill them all. He left some Mongolian people and let them manage by themselves according to local conditions. However, they were not allowed to form an army, and the military and political powers were separated, just like Xixia. Take control.

Due to the occupation of Mongolia, Zhao Gou ordered again that all the war horses of the imperial soldiers should be obtained from Mongolia. You must know that Mongolia is a grassland, and horses are most suitable for grazing.In addition, Zhao Gou organized an artillery team of 2000 people, all of whom were carefully selected soldiers, and all of them were innocent people.

Although there are only 2000 people, they are full of fighting power, enough to withstand an army of [-].It was such a huge artillery team that made the Song Dynasty stand tall in the world, and no one dared to move it.However, some countries wanted to find out, but they were all found out by Zhao Gou and sentenced to death.

In the 20 years since the establishment of the industry, a group of talents with both political integrity and ability emerged in the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, the talents selected by the imperial court are not only good at writing, but also need to have skills.

There is the Song Dynasty in the east, and the Byzantine Empire in the west, echoing each other, dominating the eastern and western continents.

At this moment, the Song Dynasty was far stronger than any other period, even the Tang Dynasty could not compare to it. If this wish cannot be fulfilled, it will be nothing in the end.

"I was enthroned as emperor in the first year of Jianye, and now 33 years have passed, and the name of the Song Dynasty has become famous overseas. The future of the Song Dynasty, I will leave it to you two brothers, you must remember, Shengji And the principle of decline is to know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.”

"No matter when and where, no matter how powerful the Song Dynasty is, these two sentences are not allowed to be forgotten. In addition, Qingcang, you must remember the harmony between brothers, so that you can work together to govern the country, and the struggle for power and profit will never be allowed to happen. The future of the Song Dynasty Whatever the situation is, I will leave everything to you to handle, I am tired, and I should take a rest."

Zhao Gouyu educated the two people in front of him earnestly. He had only five children in his life. Except for Zhao Huaiying who was living in exile, there were four other people in the palace.It's just that eight years ago, his two daughters were already married, and Zhao Gou didn't make marriages with their flesh. Instead, he let them fall in love and choose a husband on their own, and he never interfered.

The two daughters who were loved by Zhao Gou since they were young, on the day of their wedding, Zhao Gou put down the state affairs in his hands, presided over them personally, and gave a heavy gift, which was a little bit reluctant.As for the two sons in front of him, Zhao Gou really didn't control them much. Basically, they were taught by Xing Bingyi, their mother, and their teachers Pan Lianggui, Li Guang and others. Even Zhao Yougong would teach them, and only Zhao Gou treated them The two brothers are very strict.

The twin brother's name is Zhao Qingcang, and the younger brother is Qingyu. They have practiced martial arts since childhood. Whether it is reading and writing, or practicing martial arts, they dare not be lazy.Because Zhao Gou knew that the consequences would be very serious. Even Zhao Gou, the father, threw the two of them directly into the army for training, and they were separated. One followed Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong, the other followed Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and finally sent them to the army. Send it to the Sixth Ministry and the Privy Council for training.

It is precisely because of Zhao Gou's strictness that the two of them were finally praised in front of civil servants and generals for their own abilities, which made Zhao Gou very pleased.Although they are twins, their appearances are quite different. Zhao Qingcang is more like Zhao Gou, while Zhao Qingyu is more like Xing Bingyi.

However, Zhao Qingyu's temperament is more like Zhao Yougong's, and he is also addicted to martial arts, while Zhao Qingcang is more mature and stable, which also makes Zhao Gou decide to pass on the throne to Zhao Qingcang.As for Zhao Qingyu, he took over Amber Villa, just like Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong.

The two brothers Zhao Qingcang and Zhao Qingyu grew up with the children of Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others, so their children should become the playmates of Zhao Qingcang and Zhao Qingyu. The relationship is like Just like their parents.

In the 20th year of Jianyuan, Zhao Gou abdicated the throne and made Zhao Qingcang the emperor. He was called "Sejong" in history and changed his year name to "Jianping".

Zhao Qingcang ascended the throne as emperor, worked hard to govern, followed Zhao Gou's will, and continued to maintain the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.At this moment, Zhao Gou had left the capital with Xing Bingyi, Li Shishi, and Zhao Yougong, and completely entrusted the Great Song Dynasty to the hands of the new emperor. He didn't care about the future, and his children and grandchildren had their own blessings.

Zhao Gou left the palace and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. He has passed the age of knowing his destiny, but his appearance is the same as when he was young, and Zhao Yougong is also very strange. It made him look very young.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he did not follow the path of the previous emperors. He had only two wives in his life, one was a queen and the other was a noble concubine. enough.

Although Zhao Gou did not expressly stipulate, but Zhao Qingcang and Zhao Qingyu actually followed Zhao Gou's approach, no more than two people at most, especially Zhao Qingcang, as the emperor, there were only two people in the harem, especially his son. I don't want to have too many children, so as not to fight for power and profit.

Zhao Gou took Xing Bingyi and Li Shishi, and brought Fang Jinzhi back. He saw his son Zhao Huaiying again.At this moment, Zhao Huaiying is already an upright man, and has also taken over the position of the leader of the Manichaeism. His martial arts are no longer under Zhao Gou. The father and son reunited again. Zhao Gou stayed with Zhao Huaiying for several days. So he took Fang Jinzhi and left.

After Zhao Gou resigned from the throne, he traveled around the mountains and rivers. The major affairs in the court and China had nothing to do with him. In the end, he went overseas to play and traveled all over the Song Dynasty.Until ten years later, Zhao Gou had not made any progress in martial arts these years, but he made an unexpected breakthrough.

"master!"

"Teacher, you have finally reached such a state!" Patriarch Chen Tuan smiled and said, "You can teach me! At the beginning, your martial arts had reached the bottleneck, and you have been worrying about important affairs in the court all these years, so that it is difficult to Make another breakthrough, now that your martial arts are really great, you should know some things."

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I understand!"

"The cause planted in the previous life, and the cause and effect cut off in this life, where is the dust!" Patriarch Chen Tuan said with a smile, "Apprentice, this time I should meet you for the last time as a teacher, and I will become a feather soon. As for going Where to go, no one knows, besides, I already have successors, so I have no regrets."

Zhao Gou wondered, "Could it be that the master has found a successor?"

"That's right. This man is talented and intelligent. He has won my heart. He will definitely pass on my mantle!" Chen Tuan recalled that the disciples he had accepted were not worthy of outsiders' understanding, and finally his figure slowly disappeared. , and Zhao Gou also woke up from his sleep.

Recalling everything in the dream, Zhao Gou understood why he came to the Song Dynasty, and in the next life, everything was caused by man, not by coincidence.If it was before, Zhao Gou would definitely have resentment; now, Zhao Gou is very open-minded, if he hadn't come here, how would he establish the Great Song Dynasty and let the Great Song Dynasty rise completely? Someone decides, not God decides!

This Zhao Gou is not the Zhao Gou in history, even if he was reincarnated, it is impossible to be such a coincidence, but all this was secretly arranged by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who slightly changed the result of the accident.Even though Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did this a little selfishly, Zhao Gou did not hold any resentment, and Zhao Kuangyin and the people who made him come to the Song Dynasty were punished. They did this willingly and could not blame others.

Since then, there has been no news of Zhao Gou and others in the Song Dynasty, and no one knows where they are going.

Under the governance of Zhao Qingcang, the Song Dynasty still allowed the Song Dynasty to maintain a strong national strength, with strong soldiers and horses, and even more refined artillery, while Zhao Qingcang was more decisive.Even veteran officials who followed Zhao Gou would be punished severely if they touched the laws of the Song Dynasty, which also made Zhao Qingcang a generation of iron-blooded kings.

200 years later, Manichaeism has been renamed "Mingjiao" and launched a rebellion again. This time, the power of the Song Dynasty was much weaker. Another 100 years later, the original Tubo, Mongolia, Goryeo and other countries in the Song Dynasty rebelled one after another. The Ming religion was the fuse of the rebellion against the Song Dynasty, which made the territory of the Song Dynasty continue to shrink.

The Song Dynasty began to prosper in the hands of Zhao Gou, and it lasted for 200 years. It ushered in a pattern of prosperity and decline. As a result, loyal officials were persecuted, and finally the Song Dynasty was replaced by Mingjiao in 300 years, known as the "Ming Dynasty" in history.

Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has completely perished!From the founding of the Song Dynasty in 960 AD to the fall of the country on the 360th day of the twelfth lunar month in 29 AD, after [-] years, there were a total of [-] emperors. The Song Dynasty was destroyed and became a part of history.
