After Zhao Guangyi finally proclaimed himself emperor, why did he burn his original fief?

First of all, because he thinks Jinyang is a city, he is afraid that the political chaos here will endanger the regime of the Northern Song Dynasty. Secondly, he hates Jinyang, because Jinyang almost defeated him in the hands of the Northern Han Dynasty. In 54 1 year BC, Xun Wu was a general of the state of Jin. After the success of the Northern Expedition, Jinyang City was established in Taiyuan. Later, as the three clans were divided into Jin, Jinyang City became the capital of Zhao. Later, Li Yuan set up an army against Sui in Jinyang and established the Tang Dynasty. But it seems that Jinyang is a land of feng shui. Either an emperor will build his capital here, or someone will be an emperor here.

In 976, Song Taizu died suddenly, so he didn't have time to explain about the succession. As the mother of a country, the queen knew that the country could not live without a king for a day, so she hurried to Zhao to discuss the succession, but at this juncture, she came. When the Queen saw that it was Zhao Guangyi, she immediately turned the discussion directly into a decision, and made Zhao Guangyi reign, so Zhao Guangyi became emperor smoothly. However, the emperor's position came too suddenly, which made the civil and military officials question his position as emperor. Everyone thinks that he got it by improper means.

Zhao Guangyi saw that people were speculating about him, but he was arguing, so he secretly made up his mind to go beyond his brother's ability and gag everyone with practical actions, so he increased the imperial examination system, which really increased the number of people admitted and made him well received by everyone. But Zhao Guangyi thought it was just a pediatrician, so he thought of unifying the country, so after consolidating his position as emperor, he launched a war. Then, because of Song Jun,

In fact, Song Taizu attacked the Northern Han Dynasty before, but after all, the Northern Han Dynasty was backed by the Khitan, so it failed several times, but the Northern Han Dynasty also suffered a lot. This time, Zhao Guangyi just wanted to unify the whole country, so he attacked Northern Han again. After two months of desperate fighting in Song Jiyuan, Zhao Guangyi finally breached Jinyang. But after Zhao Guangyi won Jinyang, because it was not easy to attack the city, he didn't hold Jinyang. Instead, he burned Jinyang with a fire.
