The Best Emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty

Taizu was the greatest emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a military genius for many reasons. Taizu was also very intelligent and helped the dynasty grow and expand. One of the reasons why Taizu was a great emperor was how he took over the former dynasty. He tried to have as little fighting and bloodshed as possible. When he stormed the palace he did not kill any of the royal family. He even offered them positions in his new government. Another reason why Taizu was the best is because he was extremely intelligent. An example of his intelligence is how he dealt with the people that he could become enemy's with. Instead of just killing them which could anger more people he made them into his friends. He gave them large areas of land that weren't to far from the palace so he could keep an eye on them. All in All Taizu was the greatest emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty.
