The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1937 wants to abdicate
The battle against Khitan went quite smoothly, and several cities in Khitan have been occupied. Khitan is not only a nomad, but also has cities. After these cities were occupied by the Song army, they became the front of the Song army. Here you can garrison troops and hoard food and grass. .

Beggars and dogs still need to find a corner to rely on, not to mention the army, so Cao Bin attaches great importance to the newly acquired city, and does everything for reinforcement, as his base and rear.

What made the Khitan even more panicked was still behind, that is, a group of Song troops from Fusang landed from the east and attacked the Khitan, causing heavy losses for the Khitan.

At this time, the Khitan people really wanted to become less able to fight. At this time, all their previous bravery was gone, and they only had to be beaten and turned into sheep.

Some even ran away directly after seeing Song Jun. This phenomenon is very strange. Song Jun took this as a joke. Their explanation was that these people must have been scared out of their wits.

This became a laughing stock within the Song Dynasty, but these did not make the soldiers of the Song Army take it lightly. They knew what they should do. They wanted to win this battle wholeheartedly. This should be their last chance to make meritorious deeds .

The situation on the front line is very good, and the court is also very stable. Zhao Kuangyin seems to be several years younger. He looked like a 52-year-old man, and his hair was a little gray.

This is the most expensive price of an emperor. To be precise, it is the price of being a wise king. Being a foolish king is another matter.

"Now that the world is at peace, I am also tired. I have decided to take a rest. I plan to hand over the country to you. You see that you are not young anymore. It is time for me to enjoy life."

Zhao Kuangyin wants to relax a little bit. In fact, he has become an insurmountable emperor now, and the history books definitely speak highly of him.

He was rated well in normal history, not to mention the changed history, and now it is even more remarkable.

You can see that he has become a legend since he established the Song Dynasty on behalf of Zhou. Since then, he has determined to wipe out the heroes and complete the unification of the world.

After several years, a divided country was finally unified. This can already be compared with the previous Tang Taizong. If you say this is not enough, then there is nothing you can do about Tubo, the Tang Dynasty, right? Now it is my Song Dynasty of the site.

That’s not enough, what about Dali, Nanzhao used to be a vassal state of your Tang Dynasty, and now it has become a state of mine, and Dali Quyue, it’s the same situation.

Maybe you will say that the prestige is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, so let me just say one thing. Li Shimin’s conquest of Korea was not a failure.

Fusang, this small overseas country, was sent by the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. They were here to learn, not to submit to you. How is it now? It has not yet become the four states of the Great Song Dynasty.

These were all completed under the rule of Zhao Kuangyin, which can be called the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty. The future emperors will never reach his height, unless the emperors of later generations can continue to expand the territory of the Song Dynasty and expand the territory of the Song Dynasty Double, otherwise how would you compare with Zhao Kuangyin.

These are all Zhao Kuangyin's achievements, and even Zhao Xu will find it difficult to compare with his father in the future.

When Zhao Kuangyin first became emperor, there were only 200 million households in the country. The war since the fifth generation caused a sharp drop in population.

Now there are about 2000 million households in the Song Dynasty, with a population of about 11275 million. At this time, people bring population is wealth.

When he first ascended the throne and became emperor, the agriculture was destroyed and there was nothing to eat. Now that the agricultural production technology has made great progress, now every family has surplus food, so there is no need to worry.

Business was even more prosperous and developed, and the commercial tax paid each year accounted for more than half of the national treasury, becoming the main economic income of the Song Dynasty.

……

What does this have to do with Zhao Kuangyin? If you say this, you are really wrong, because nothing can be done without Zhao Kuangyin's support. Isn't it the credit of Zhao Kuangyin!

"Father, if you want to rest, go and rest. Now that the world has settled down, you can go anywhere you want, and I believe there will be no problems." Zhao Xu didn't hear what Zhao Kuangyin meant, and thought he was going on a trip Relax!
"You misunderstood what I meant. I meant that I was tired and wanted to take a good rest. In other words, I wanted to abdicate and pass the throne to you."

What?
Zhao Kuangyin wants to do something, how can this work, what is Zhao Kuangyin going to do now that he is in good health, and become the Supreme Emperor, those who don't know think that he forced him!
"You don't need to persuade me. I've thought about this matter for a long time. Anyway, the throne will be passed on sooner or later. It's better to be sooner. After all, my lifespan is limited. I really have to think about future generations.

My prestige has reached its peak, and I believe it will be difficult for future generations to reach my level, so don't rush to refute, let me finish my sentence. "

Seeing that Zhao Xu seemed to want to interrupt, he was directly blocked by Zhao Kuangyin, who hadn't finished speaking yet!

"I always have to think about future generations, don't I? I can't let me do all the good things, I have to leave some things for my children and grandchildren."

Zhao Kuangyin thought about his children and grandchildren, and there was an opportunity in front of him, which could be regarded as a gift for his son.

"I have spent my whole life fighting in the north and south, and I have fought hundreds of battles. After becoming an emperor, I rarely go to the battlefield. Basically, no matter how busy you are, these victories will be added to me. What will the future generations do? Woolen cloth?"

It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to do all the things alone, that way the country will perish faster, he has his own set of theories.

"Now the only enemy left is Khitan. I have decided to abdicate before Khitan is defeated. This should be recorded in your name. I hope that when Khitan is defeated, the emperor recorded will be you, not me. I will always give it to my descendants. Leave a decent record in the history books."

Zhao Xu has done a lot of meritorious deeds, but generally speaking, he is the prince. There will be no major battles in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and Zhao Xu is just a conservative king.

Zhao Kuangyin thought that the matter of destroying Khitan was recorded in his son's name, and he could be regarded as expressing that he didn't care about fame and fortune.

Anyway, as the founder of the country, history will not have a low evaluation of him. Let the future generations leave his reputation and so on.

Anyway, he has to abdicate anyway, and then go to enjoy the blessings. Let the young people do these things, because he is too old to do it.
