Chinese civilization has more than 5,000 years, and there are not a few turbulent years, such as: Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, and so on. Under the pattern of dividing the masses and establishing themselves as kings, the world is constantly in strife, wildfires are everywhere, the people are displaced, and life is miserable. Although it is often said that the dynasties under the heavens change, after a long period of separation, they will be unified again, and if the unification time is too long, it will flourish and decline, and it will definitely fall apart again.
Between the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, China at that time was in ruins, but because it lasted very shortly, compared with the five thousand years of civilization, it was often forgotten by most ordinary people, and historians were different, they were professional, specialized, and proposed that during this period, there was an emperor who was maverick and had extremely extraordinary achievements.
This emperor was Chai Rong, who showed great ambition and grand ambition from an early age. Although he is in the emperor's family and enjoys countless glory and wealth, under his bright appearance, he hides the ambition to dominate the world. However, in the political structure at that time, there were internal sorrows and external troubles, the military generals were greedy and afraid of death, and the civilian generals were confused, and he very much wanted to change this situation, so in the process of the imperial conquest, in order to resist the Khitan and minimize losses, he formulated a detailed and appropriate plan, but when he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and line up troops, the military attaché who lost countless times actually abandoned the armor and fled the battlefield, and Chai Rong was furious.
Therefore, he wanted to kill these generals and deter the government and the opposition, and at the same time he was also very worried, but those who wanted to do great things would break the boat, so he still killed those generals who were afraid of death, and then rewarded and trained the soldiers in the army, and strived to exert themselves to govern, strengthen the army and enrich the country, and guard the great righteousness on the battlefield and do not fear death.
At that time, Chai Rong also had a capable general by his side, called Zhao Kuangyin, who had read history and knew that he would be a very legendary emperor in the future. Chai Rong's throne actually came very cleverly, Chai Rong's family suffered a major change when he was young, so he went to his aunt's house and begged for adoption, and his uncle was also a wise emperor named Guo Wei, Chai Rong performed extremely well when he was young, so he became Guo Wei's adopted son, and after Guo Wei's death, he became king.
When Chai Rong took over this burden, his father Guo Wei had already helped him lay a good foundation, coupled with Chai Rong's bravery and decisiveness, the country slowly became stronger step by step, so that later generations of people looked at Zhao Kuangyin and finally unified China, and did not forget the great contributions made by the previous two generations of monarchs.
When Chai Rong made up his mind to slaughter nearly half of the military generals in the dynasty, rumors spread and the political situation was very turbulent, but how magnificent the heart of the emperor was, how could we mortals figure out, at that time, even he himself was expected to be recorded and scolded by the world, but it was precisely because the times had to do it, he had to do it, and today, it seems that this practice is very correct.
