The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 194
Zhao Kuangyin, as a hero of the generation, has been decisive in killing and attacking in his life, and has never experienced anything like this.

Since he wants to unify the world, of course he is his own son. He has his own plan in mind long ago.

I have been thinking about it for a long time, and there is no doubt about it. What do you think people are busy with every day?
The reason why he is not an ordinary person is not because he became the emperor, but because he has advanced vision.

Zhao Kuangyin is such a person, he already has his own set of plans in his heart, and he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't have it.

You must know that the Song Dynasty replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the country, and it only ruled the Yellow River and Huaihe River basins.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had Northern Han and Khitan in the north, Houshu in the west, Jingnan, Southern Tang, Southern Han, Wuyue and other countries in the south, and each country had its own independent forces.

These countries are not weak countries or a powerful local force, but they are not as large as the Song Dynasty.

And they are also peeking at the attitude of the Song Dynasty to see if the Song Dynasty intends to expand around.

How do you treat the surrounding countries? Do you also have the ambition of unity like Chai Rong?If there is a way to stop the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in this situation where the tiger is watching, the Song Dynasty cannot sit back and relax, but must be more vigilant.

If An Weng wanted to destroy or subdue these small countries or foreign races, he could complete the unification of the world and lay the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin was the founding king of the Song Dynasty, and he must find a way to complete the great cause of unification, and this will not change.

Therefore, he definitely has his own set of plans and unified strategies for governing the country in his heart.

Seeing his son asking himself at this time, his heart suddenly became active, but he still didn't speak.

What Zhao Kuangyin thought in his heart was that since you asked this question, you must have other thoughts in your mind.

Let me see what kind of ideas you have. You can talk about it first and see if it matches mine.

"Oh, do you have any idea, since this is the case, you can talk about it first, we are the father and son here, just talk about it.

Even if what you say is inappropriate, it's fine, this place is not in the court, just treat us as the two of you chatting here. "

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to hear Zhao Xu's views on unifying the world, and to see if he had any strategies.

Just as Zhao Kuangyinyin finished asking, light snow began to drift outside, and at the same time, it was snowing again with a cold north wind.

The snow outside was even heavier, and the whistling north wind mixed with the snow kept whistling. It is really uncommon to see snow in February.

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and Zhao Kuangyin also felt a bit of coolness, who told him to wear thinner clothes.

On a snowy night, Zhao Kuangyin had a meaningful conversation with Prime Minister Zhao Pu.

So strong, Zhao Xu asked Zhang Dejun to prepare a stove, prepare a few side dishes, and heat a pot of wine.

He was going to have a drink with Zhao Kuangyin first and then discuss the general trend of the world.Zhao Kuangyin also let go of the question just now.

"It seems that it is easier to fall asleep in such a cold night. I will suffer from insomnia again tonight."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said helplessly, since he became the emperor, he really slept very little and couldn't sleep.

"Father, you must take care of your dragon body. Your body is what the people of the world expect of you. You must take good care of it."

Zhao Xu reminded that as a supreme leader, you must take good care of your health, the world needs you.

"I know. I can't help it. But it's other people's land under the collapse. How can you let me sleep peacefully?"

This is because Zhao Kuangyin felt that his territory was too small and there was no room to display it. He was thinking in his heart how to eliminate the forces around him?

To put it inappropriately, he is still thinking about how to plot against others, so he can still fall asleep.

At this moment, a few young eunuchs came in with food boxes. It was no wonder that they were some small dishes that Zhao Xu had asked them to prepare.

At the same time, a small hot stove was brought over, and the whole room was warmed up for a while.

"Father, our two fathers and sons haven't drank alone together for a long time, why don't we take this opportunity to have a drink today?"

Since the establishment of Da Song, both of them have been busy, and there is no extra time to drink together.

What Zhao Kuangyin was busy with was how to stabilize internal affairs, ease the hostility between the old and new dynasties, and create a stable environment.

For this reason, Zhao Kuangyin was busy day and night, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat, which showed that he really forgot to sleep and eat.

As for Zhao Xu, although he was not as busy as Zhao Kuangyin, he was not as leisurely as before.

Whether he was busy training his forbidden army students, or leading the army to suppress the rebellion, he was not usually busy.

"Okay, it's been a long time since we father and son have been together like this, tonight I will have a big drunk with you, come to us father and son to drink this cup."

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it too, and he couldn't remember the last time he and Zhao Xu had a drink alone, so it really was a long time ago.

Both the father and son's drinking capacity is acceptable. After a few glasses, their faces are still a little reddish.

"Son, do you know that I am a bit tired being the emperor."

Zhao Kuangyin probably hasn't been like this for a long time, and now his true feelings are revealed, and he doesn't claim to be Zhen anymore.

Call me directly, but it still sounds kind, but in order to maintain the royal rules, I have to call myself Zhen.

Now that he has had a few glasses of wine, and there are no other people, his true nature is revealed, and he really doesn't wear any mask.

"Everyone thinks that being an emperor is a very cool thing. They think that the emperor can control people's life and death at will, enjoy the glory of the world, and control the fate of the entire country.

That's not bad either. When you become an emperor, you feel a sense of power in your hands, a feeling of standing on the peak of the world, and a feeling of being able to enjoy the supremacy of the world. "

Zhao Kuangyin didn't lie, the emperor is the boss in the world, no one is more noble than him, and the resources of the whole country can be used by him casually.

No one can say nothing, this is his power, as an emperor's power, no one can compare.

As for other people, they also think this is justified, who makes others the emperor, but you are not.

In people's eyes, the emperor has such privileges. This is the consensus of the people, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

But these are the thoughts of those who have never been emperors. They have no chance to be emperors, so they have some reason to think so.

After all, they haven't been able to personally experience what it's like to be an emperor, so they should always fantasize about it.

Now there is a current emperor saying that being an emperor is not good. This is speaking from his own experience, and it is the real feeling of the emperor.

No, Zhao Kuangyin started to talk by himself again;
"Being an emperor is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and he can't enjoy himself unscrupulously, that's what a foolish emperor does.

As the king of a country, the most important thing is to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and to unify the country. This is what a king should do. I sighed day and night, because I want to unify the Quartet and create a prosperous Song Dynasty that belongs to us. "

Zhao Kuangyin occupied himself, and Zhao Xu felt a special aura shrouded Zhao Kuangyin's body at this moment.

"Enen, we are now in a chaotic world, and wise rulers of the right way always want to use the world one day. If the emperor has such an idea, he is already a wise ruler of the right way."

Zhao Xu flattered him a little, but what he said was true. There are not many people with such ambitions.

Most of the people are on the side of peace. They don't even want to unify the world. It would be nice to be able to preserve their own foundation.

"Then do you mean that you want to take advantage of the great unification that will inevitably occur after the great division in this chaotic world?"

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has been divided, and later the Western Jin Dynasty was unified, and then the land of China fell into chaos until the Sui and Tang Dynasties were unified again.

After the great division, there will be a great unification. This is an inevitable law of history, and no one can change this fact.

"Yes, I don't think this world should be divided like this. The people should not suffer from constant wars and chaos. They should live and work in peace and contentment. Unification is essential."

Zhao Kuangyin is also well aware that such historical unity is indispensable.

"Then you decided to conquer the north and south, to rule the world. Now is an excellent time. I don't know how you think about the direction of the march."

I came back after a long circle. Didn’t I talk about a unified strategy? Now it’s just a different way of saying it.

The current Zhao Kuangyin is still drunk, his eyes are clear, without a trace of impurities, he picked up a glass of wine and said:

"I want to attack Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and wipe out the small country of the Northern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Xu said, "I don't understand this. Why did you choose to attack Beihan first?"

"I don't understand this. I just want to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty first. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhao Kuangyin went on to say:

"I just want to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty first, then pacify Houshu and Wuyue, and then destroy the separatist regime in the south again, and attack the Southern Tang Dynasty to unify the world. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhao Kuangyin talked about his military thinking in detail, and his deployment was to let Zhao Xu talk about the feasibility of this.

In fact, the best plan in Zhao Kuangyin's heart was definitely not like this. He had discussed with Zhao Pu and others many times, and he already had a preliminary plan. Now he was just testing Zhao Xu.

This country will still be handed over to Zhao Xu in the future, to see how capable he is, this is Zhao Kuangyin's goal.

"Well, I don't think this will work. I think it's better to unify the Great Song Dynasty first from the south to the north." Zhao Xu remembered that it was like this in history.

"How about going south first and then north?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.
