About This Novel
The signing of a contract turned the two hostile countries into friendship and became brothers. During the Song Zhenzong era, the most important historical event was the signing of the "Chanyuan Alliance" with the Khitan. This is also one of the major events in the entire history of China. In 997 AD, Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. At this time, it had been more than thirty years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and peace began to appear in the empire. Compared with Taizu Taizong's commitment to world peace, Zhenzong went further. Before the "Alliance of Chanyuan", the legacy of "powerful rebellion" in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties still existed. The rebellions of Liu Wei and Wang Jun in Sichuan, the robbery of Changshou by King Chenliu, and the rebellion of Chen Jin in Guangxi brought some disturbances from time to time; the Khitan in the north continued to be the enemy of the Song Dynasty, and there was the "Battle of Guannan" consisting of a series of battles, and the "Battle of the Great Wall Entrance" in which the Song Dynasty mobilized nearly 50,000 cavalry. Despite this, Zhenzong still "summoned the harmony of heaven and earth", opened up a wide range of admonitions, promoted outstanding talents, helped disadvantaged groups, and planned a path to peace step by step with all living things.
