Take Charge of the Song Dynasty

In this year, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen ascended the throne as emperor and changed the country's name. It was the first year of Qingli. This year, capable people emerged in large numbers, and countless capable ministers emerged one after another. Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, and Wen Yanbo began to emerge, and under Renzong's command, they gradually became marquises and prime ministers and made their voices heard. This year, foreign enemies invaded. Xixia and Daliao peeped at the Central Plains and stared at them with eager eyes. This year, there were natural and man-made disasters. Zhao Zhen repeatedly issued edicts to pray for God's forgiveness and to bless the people of the Song Dynasty. It was also this year that Wu Ziyi woke up from ignorance. He changed everything with his own hands and plunged into the rolling tide of history alone. He was like a trend-setter standing on the cusp of the storm, overlooking the world.
