Memorabilia in Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong: A Brief Introduction to Zhao Guangyi's Life.

In 939, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Song Dazu Zhao Kuangyi was born. Later, to avoid Zhao Kuangyin, he changed his name to Zhao Guangyi. In 976, Zhao Guangyi prepared a coffin for Song Taizong in Zhao Kuangyin. In 979, Zhao Guangyi wiped out the Northern Han Dynasty, ending the separatist regime of the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. In 979 AD, Zhao Guangyi led an army to fight against Liao soldiers in Nanjing, Liao country, and was defeated. In 986, Zhao Guangyi sent Song Jun to explore Liao again, but failed again. Among them, General Yang Ye was killed in the Battle of Wild Goose Gate. In 1997, Zhao Guangyi died at the age of 59. In the mutiny in Chen Qiaoyi, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, his younger brother 12 years old, played a great role. It was also the positive performance of Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu in the foreground that made Zhao Kuangyin, who was hiding behind the scenes, usurp the throne and stand on his own feet as a more benevolent person, and established the Northern Song Dynasty. Immediately after Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Zhao Kuangyi as the commander-in-chief in front of the temple to lead the defense task. In 19961year, it was named yin, with the same surname as Pingzhang. At the same time, in order to avoid taboo and change her name, Zhao Kuangmei changed her name to Zhao. Zhao Kuangyin also loves his brother very much. On one occasion, Zhao Guangyi was ill, and Emperor Zhao Kuangyin personally burned Ai for him. Zhao Guangyi burst into tears. Zhao Kuangyin may want to share the pain for his brother, and he also did moxibustion. In 976, Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly, so Zhao Guangyi acceded to the throne for Song Taizong in front of the coffin. After he ascended the throne, he continued to pursue the unification strategy with the United States, forcing Chen and Wu Yueguo to submit separately. At this point, the Northern Song Dynasty completely unified the south, and Zhao Guangyi turned its main force to the Northern Han and Liao regimes in the north. In 979 AD, Zhao Guangyi learned the lessons of previous failures, sent some Song soldiers to intercept Liao reinforcements, and led the army to attack the Northern Han Dynasty in four ways. Song Jun quickly attacked Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and surrounded Taiyuan. Five months later, Northern Han soldiers surrendered one after another. Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, saw that the tide had gone, so he had to open the door to meet the enemy and surrender, and the Northern Han Dynasty perished. At this point, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms separatist situation has all ended. Zhao Guangyi wiped out the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty, continued to attack the Liao country on a large scale, and took Yizhou without fighting. Zhao Guangyi was very happy when he won, so he led an army to Liao, south of Nanjing, and ordered his soldiers to attack Nanjing in four ways. However, at this time, Song Jun is already a spent force, and the long-term campaign has exhausted them. When Liao reinforcements arrived, they were jointly attacked by Liao defenders and reinforcements, and the whole army was scattered. In order not to be caught, Zhao Guangyi fled south to Zhuozhou under the escort of people. Seven years later, Zhao Guangyi wanted to make another Northern Expedition in an attempt to reverse the passive situation that the Gaoliang River was repeatedly hit after its defeat. However, the previous personal expedition fiasco, especially the battle risk that Gaolianghe was captured by the Liao army, dispelled most of the fears. So in 986 AD, he was dissuaded by ministers who were good at reading emperors, and decided to send generals Cao Bin, Tian, Pan Mei, Yang Ye and others to attack Liao with 300,000 troops every year. In the early days, Song Jun was smooth sailing, winning small victories one after another. However, due to the headstrong Zhao Guangyi firmly controlled the command in his own hands and remotely controlled the army from the rear, the military orders could not be conveyed in time, and the various armies lacked cooperation, so they retreated in succession. Yang Ye led down archers to fight to the death in Chenjiagu. Liao soldiers came from all over the country, and most of them died in Yang Ye. Yang Ye suffered dozens of injuries and was finally captured by the Liao army. He went on a hunger strike for three days and died despite the threats and inducements of the Liao army. After Yang's death, there was a big earthquake on the border. Three saints: cloud, welcome and new moon

Therefore, the attack on Liao turned to defend and prepared for reconciliation. In order to defend itself, Song Jun was ordered to dredge and open the river channel along the Hebei border as a barrier. For the invasion of Liao army, only clearing the field is allowed, and troops are not allowed. Even if it is necessary to send troops, it is only allowed to rely on the city to deploy. Otherwise, it is not allowed to attack each other first, which leads to the bondage of army soldiers. Gradually, Song Jun's combat capability became weaker and weaker. Zhao Guang was also the first non-martial emperor since the Five Dynasties. After the end of the separatist regime, especially after the failure of cutting Liao for many times, time turned to the rule of literature. However, in terms of culture and governance, he does have many unique features. He initiated, mended and perfected various laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty, and basically customized them, which made the Song Dynasty avoid the short-lived and disastrous days of the Five Dynasties and laid the foundation of political, military, cultural and economic systems. Song people talked a lot about American law to their ancestors, mentioning Song Taizu and Song Taizong. Among them, Song Dazu Song Taizong not only further improved Song Taizu, but also established a set of laws and regulations in culture and economy. Zhao Guangyi perfected the imperial examination system that began in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The imperial examination system is widely open to literati and intellectuals. As long as the articles and poems are qualified, they can be admitted. Zhao Guangyi expanded the scale of borrowing soil, and the number of Jinshi admitted in each imperial examination far exceeded that in Tang Dynasty and Song Taizu. Zhao Guangyi also promoted the strictness and completeness of the imperial examinations. After Zhao Kuangyin confirmed the imperial examination, he further improved it, stipulating that the imperial examination would roll in front of the temple, and the emperor gave the Jinshi discipline, Jinshi origin and Jinshi origin fame. Zhao Guangyi attaches great importance to the development of cultural undertakings. He moved Zhao Wen Museum, History Museum and Jixian Academy to a new site much larger than the original site, and named it Chongwen Academy. At the end of the year, Zhao Guangyi collected a very rich collection of books in his life. Zhao Guangyi also organized scholars to compile three books, Taiping Guangji, Bigger than Pinglan and Wenyuan Huaying. These three books have become valuable materials for later generations to study China's ancient history and literature. The emperor of the Song Dynasty paid more attention to taking history as a mirror, which can be said to have started from Emperor Taizong. In November of the eighth year of Taiping, when I was rejuvenating the country, I said to the minister: I have read the books of the previous generation and found that when the monarch and the minister are in harmony, the general principle is that family ties are generally harmonious, so everything is obscure and words can be adopted. I fight for the rule of law and you are my eyes and ears. If there are any shortcomings in administration, I want to make it clear that I will never be proud and will never make people afraid to speak. Zhao Guangyi is frugal politically, but he likes reading and calligraphy. He is tolerant of religion, but he values Taoism more than Buddhism. When Zhao Guangyi became emperor, he put a lot of energy into ensuring the throne and preventing chaos. On the one hand, we should guard against military commanders. On the other hand, his own family dictatorship, especially in Zhao Dezhao and Wugong County of Xiahou _, finally forced Zhao Dezhao to commit suicide, and his younger brother Zhao Tingqiang died of depression. With the growth of Zhao Guangyi's age, the issue of succession to the throne becomes more and more important. At first, Zhao Guangyi wanted to be the heir of the emperor, but he was longer than Zhao Yuanzuo. However, after hearing that his uncle Zhao Tingmei died, Zhao Yuanzuo was very angry and gradually developed mental problems. His opponents often cut and kill indiscriminately. Later, Zhao Guangyi ordered a doctor to make a diagnosis and give treatment, and when his condition improved slightly, he gave a banquet with great joy, but Zhao Yuanzuo was not invited to attend. Zhao Yuanzuo was furious when he found out, and set fire to his palace in Chu. Zhao Guangyi was furious, so he cut off Zhao Yuanzuo's title and changed it to Shu Ren. In 995, Zhao Yuankan was appointed Prince. At this point, since Zhao Guangyi acceded to the throne
