First, Liao soldiers entered the customs, and Song Zhenzong used personal expedition
At that time, Liao people invaded Dasong under the leadership of the famous Xiao Taihou, and the unsuspecting Song State had no ability to resist. At the critical moment when the country was about to perish, Kou Zhun tricked Song Zhenzong into making a personal expedition to boost the morale of the soldiers. I didn't realize there were still mistakes. Liao people have robbed enough in Song State, and they have no mind to continue fighting with Dasong. So the two countries signed the Yuan Tan League.
Secondly, Song Zhenzong is proud of his record and plans to hold a meditation ceremony.
Although the two sides signed a peace treaty, it was also signed on the premise of sacrificing some interests in the Song Dynasty. The content of the contract is also quite humiliating for the once powerful Da Song, which stipulated that Da Song should send a lot of money to Liao every year. But Song Zhenzong is not ashamed of it. On the contrary, he felt that it was a very proud thing that Dasong won the battle under his leadership.
People tend to go with the flow when they are proud, so does Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong, who is wandering abroad, plans to go to Mount Tai to worship and tell his ancestors and God about his great achievements. He is not ashamed. Song Mingming is a victorious country, but it wants to pay tribute to Da Liao. Song Zhenzong wants to do this, but it doesn't mean that all his ministers agree with him, so he thinks that as long as Premier Wang Dan agrees with other ministers, there is nothing to say.
Before his death, Wang Dan regretted that he had chosen compromise.
Song Zhenzong felt that he was an emperor anyway, and his self-esteem was too strong to directly give gifts to the Prime Minister, so he arranged for the Prime Minister to come to the palace for dinner and gave him an altar of wine, so that Wang Dan could open an altar of wine when he got home. Where did this wine actually come from? The wine in it has long been replaced by gold, silver and jewels by Song Zhenzong.
Wang Dan went back to open the jar and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewels, so he understood what Song Zhenzong meant. What can I do if I collect all the money? I can only agree with Song Zhenzong's decision to close Zen. But after that, Wang Dan always regretted his decision. Before he died, he said that he had done nothing wrong in his life, but this was the only thing he did wrong.
