Emperor Zhenguan
Chapter 934 Prosperity and Prosperity
Chapter 934 Prosperity and Prosperity ([-])
Proactive clarification and clarification under questioning by others are two different things.Li Zhiyun is waiting for those aristocratic families to take the bait.Sure enough, he finally waited until the Guanlong people took the initiative to meet him and ask about this matter.The situation of Guanlong people is getting worse and worse. It is certain to be rich, and it is certain to have honor.After all, the empire has only two generations of emperors so far, and the Guanlong people were the major shareholders who contributed money and people in the early days of the empire, and the dividends were enough for them to eat a lot.But the point is, they have no power.
They are all the chairman of the board, but the board of directors has been disbanded by the emperor, and the capital of all directors has also been tightly controlled by the emperor. All the personnel and materials of the empire are in the hands of the emperor, and the directors of Guanlong can only get money every year , You cannot hold actual power in the company.They urgently need to find new opportunities now.
No one knows what the people of Guanlong discussed with the emperor. They only know that not long after, the people of Guanlong suddenly expressed their willingness to hand over [-]% of the land in Guanzhong to the imperial court for free, and supported the imperial court's implementation of the system of dividing the land into acres in Guanzhong.The Dugu family, the Dou family, the Yu family, the Changsun family and other families also stated that they were willing to hand over [-]% of the land of the middle generation of the Bashu Han to the imperial court, and they also fully supported the imperial court's implementation of dividing the land into mu among the Bashu Han.
The news spread, and the government and the opposition were in turmoil.Many people thought that the people of Guanlong had a collective outbreak of swine fever, otherwise they would not have done such an outrageous thing.However, they soon understood why the Guanlong people were so generous this time.
First, the emperor promoted Yu Zhining to be Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then let him independently preside over the affairs of Guanzhong stalls entering the mu.Later, Dai Zhou retired because of his old age, and Li Zhiyun immediately asked Yu Zhining to take the post of prime minister.
The ministers understood that the Guanlong people were making an exchange with the imperial court, bow their heads.
There was no other reason for Dai Zhou's resignation, it was because he was not young enough to hold on to paper work.Li Zhiyun was very generous to him, he was given a high position by the official lord, he was rewarded with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he was given a token to enter the palace to meet him at any time, and at the same time he promoted his son to be an official, giving him enough face.By the way, I also told him that he didn't need to repair the tomb. When he died in the future, he should be buried lightly first, and then when Li Zhiyun also belched, he would be buried in his imperial mausoleum.
In addition, there is no Lingyan Pavilion here, but there is Qilin Hall.In the words of Li Zhiyun: All my subordinates are talented in civil and military unicorns.
The exchange of Guanlong people did not stop here until ten years later, a young general named Dugu Chengxin conquered the small stone country of Bahanna in Sogdia, and was named "Shi Guogong" by the emperor, allowing him to support troops there and stand on his own. But after they had to make an offering to the local king of the Li Tang clan, the ministers suddenly realized that the emperor allowed the people of Guanlong to establish a country thousands of miles away.Although it is necessary to make an offering to King Li Tang, the local guardian of the mansion, that is also the lord of a country!
Then, all the great families in the world followed suit one after another.This is something to say later, so there is no need to elaborate.
Li Zhiyun's blueprint for enfeoffment is like this.
First of all, the highest level is the existence of the sacrosanct empire.The territory of the empire extends to the sea in the east, Linyi in the south, Shule's homeland in the west in the west, and the Angara River in the north.In addition, the islands of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, Tubo, Ryukyu, etc., have all of them in later generations, and there are none.If the north is not too cold, it will be pushed directly to the North Pole along the route.After all, the people on the grassland are all Tang people now.
The next level is the king of Li Tang's clan.They will establish vassal states one by one outside the territory of the empire to defend the empire.They may not pay tribute to the imperial court, but they cannot step into the empire's territory. Without the order of the emperor, the kings of the vassal states only need to step into the empire's territory, which is tantamount to rebellion.
Of course, this restriction is only valid if the emperor is still surnamed Li, or a descendant of Li Zhiyun.If one day, the unworthy descendants of the old Li family defeated the family, and the brothers from outside wanted to come in to revive Datang, then there would be no constraints.
Another level, hero.
These three levels go down one by one.They will eventually cover all the colonial lands densely in a star-studded manner with various positions.Li Tang's patriarchal king belonged to the highest level in the colony. The following heroes and aristocratic families established manors one by one. They were allowed to control certain private soldiers, but they had to pay taxes to Li Tang's patriarchal king on time.Except that Tang people are not allowed to do hard work, slaves are whatever.As for taxes, poll taxes.
In other words, Li Zhiyun will be an outdated, but beneficial policy for the aristocratic family, allowing them to play casually in the colony.As for how cruel it will be in the end, that is beyond Li Zhiyun's control.If you want others to go out willingly to help you run your business, if you don't give benefits, how can others be willing.
To be honest, Li Zhiyun still wants to do more, but no, there is not enough time, and the empire has not accumulated enough, so he can only do it step by step.Letting his sons go out to build the country does not mean that Li Zhiyun will not take care of the prince. He left the vast and boundless land in the north, which contains inexhaustible resources, to the empire. Incorporating it into the imperial ruling system is to create a perfect coastal defense line.
Of course, there is also the south, which is also within the strategic scope of the empire.In the Western Regions, the empire is beyond its reach, and people must spontaneously fight westward there, even to the farthest west.
The main thing Li Zhiyun will do in the next few years is to open up the sea, develop the south, and fight against Japan.Among these three things, the Japanese kingdom is the best solution. Later, Liu Rengui was ordered to drive a giant ship, break through the Japanese king's city in one fell swoop, and capture all the small Japanese people back as slaves.And Li Zhiyun also instructed Liu Rengui to look for gold and silver mines on the island, which eventually attracted a large number of gold diggers to Wa Island, which greatly enriched the population.
Opening the sea is also easy. The task Li Zhiyun gave himself is very easy. He only needs to constantly improve the sea chart, and then gradually send people out to occupy the island and reclaim the land.
Only the development of the south is the most difficult, because of the climate, because of the water and soil, and it took him more than ten years of hard work to see the initial results.
When looking back on his life, Li Zhiyun suddenly found that the plate he had opened was too big, and then hesitantly asked the prince if he could handle it?
The prince replied, he can.
Li Zhiyun believed him, after all, he taught the prince himself.Later, before Li Chengzhao succeeded to the throne, he first supervised the country when the emperor went out to inspect the world.Later, when the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang, he was in charge of guarding Xijing and managing the workshop.Generally speaking, Li Chengzhao has done many things during his years as the prince.
Expeditions, supervising the country, researching science, opening universities, governing the south, visiting the homeland of Goguryeo, etc.In the army, the imperial court, and the emperor basically let him dabble.At the same time, he was also asked to preside over the imperial examination, and let him try his best to attract talents.
When the emperor was old and chose to abdicate to become the Supreme Emperor, that night, the emperor said to the prince; help you one last time as a father.
Then, a group of nobles were relegated, and another group of sinners were directly killed.At that time, the old brothers who followed Li Zhiyun to fight the world were almost dead, Li Zhiyun didn't care at all.
After the killing, the emperor asked the court again, and the ministers who had been on his side who had been at odds with the prince all this time retired and returned home, and gave up a lot of positions to the prince to promote his confidantes.
The emperor said to the prince: "The man who is dressed as a beast is not from one dynasty."
Then, with a hunched body, he led the prince and pushed him on the throne.
"You are the emperor now, replace me and take good care of the people."
After that, the emperor went to Taiyuan.
Because his daughter, Princess Jinyang, is the principal of Jinyang University, he went there to help and write knowledge points by the way, as much as he could write while he was still in a daze.
When Li Chengzhao was full-fledged, the emperor would sometimes beat him unavoidably, and gradually it became the emperor's ministers targeting the prince's confidants.It has been like this in all dynasties, and the father and son Li Zhiyun and Li Chengzhao are not immune.But the good thing is that Li Zhiyun dislikes this kind of thing very much. Unless the prince is doing something wrong, he doesn't care how the prince dances.
But the prince didn't care at all, the relationship between him and his old father was not something that the ministers could provoke, and even Empress Yang spoke in it, so there was no estrangement between the family at all.
In the 48th year of Zhenguan, Li Zhiyun abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, and directly gave the throne to the crown prince, and the crown prince was even more grateful.Because, his old father was still able to ride a horse and hunt at an early age, and his body was not very good.If Li Zhiyun remained the emperor, Li Chengzhao felt that he would have to wait.
Li Zhiyun is too lazy to be an emperor, because he is so fucking tired, and he thinks it will be fine after being an emperor for 50 years.The main reason is that being an emperor has become more and more boring these years. The old people die one after another, and the new ones come one after another. He is getting older, and he really doesn't want to intrigue.
What's more, if you continue to be the emperor, what if the prince doesn't live past himself?
In fact, Prince Li Chengzhao was over 50 years old when he came to the throne.
Li Chengzhao's son, Prince Li Xuanyuan is also in his 30s.And Li Xuanyuan's son Li Yaoshun is also eight or nine years old.
Well, Li Zhiyun has even met his great-grandson.The name Li Xuanyuan was chosen for his grandson by Li Zhiyun himself. Li Xuanyuan was not called this name at first, but after Li Zhiyun's investigation, Li Zhiyun personally canonized him as the grandson of the emperor, and then gave him the name Li Xuanyuan.
Li Zhiyun is not afraid that his grandson will not be able to bear the big name, because he will be the fourth emperor of the empire in the future, and he can bear it!
And the name of the great-grandson Li Yaoshun was also given by Li Zhiyun, because this kid and Li Chengzhao were so fucking like when they were young, they were as smart and flamboyant, both he and Queen Yang liked this great-grandson.
It is said that after Li Chengzhao ascended the throne, he changed his reign name to Xuanwu.The reign of Zhenguan, which lasted for 48 years, finally ushered in its end.However, no one can forget, and no one can forget, the terrible influence of this year name in the world.
The influence of Emperor Zhenguan!
Xuanwu's year name, the meaning is obvious, I'm going to hit someone.
During Li Chengzhao's reign, he completely continued the style of Emperor Zhenguan, beating those honorable families with heavy blows internally.Externally, murder and set fire everywhere.In fact, by the time of Emperor Xuanwu's reign, the aristocratic families within the empire had been completely lonely.Because most of the aristocratic families either went to the extreme west to develop or went overseas, the aristocratic families in the empire were all three or two kittens.
Even so, Emperor Xuanwu was not careless and killed him when he caught him.Externally, Emperor Xuanwu had two main directions of attack, one was the south, and the other was the rebellious natives of Wa Island.Of course, there are also descendants of the brothers who were enfeoffed in the west.
Emperor Xuanwu was smart. Seeing that his brothers managed Sogdia very well, and after Tang people were everywhere, he decided to pick things up to occupy the land.The descendants of the brothers over there have long scolded their mothers, Li Zhiyun is still alive, and the son over there scolds the fourth brother for being shameless, and you are still thinking about this little thing in the brother's bowl, you are still human.
After all, Emperor Xuanwu still wanted face, and then he stopped making trouble. After all, the old father was still in Taiyuan for the elderly, so he couldn't tear himself apart with his brothers at this time.Later, he focused on managing Tubo.
The area of Tubo was completely taken down during the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, but it has been operating very slowly.
Plateau climate Well, understand.
Emperor Xuanwu reigned for 18 years, and abdicated at the age of 70 to become the Supreme Emperor. There was no other way. Li Chengzhao felt that he was too old and lacked energy to carry on.At this time, the nearly 90-year-old emperor Li Zhiyun was still alive, but he was about to burp.
Therefore, after Emperor Xuanwu became Taishanghuang, Li Zhiyun was awarded the only title that has never existed since ancient times; Taizu Shanghuang.
To be honest, in order to consider this title, the new emperor thought about it for a long time, and almost died of entanglement.
In the end, after much deliberation, we might as well add an "ancestor" among the Taishanghuang. Anyway, Emperor Zhenguan is his grandfather.
There is nothing wrong with Taizu Shanghuang.
The fourth emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Xuanyuan.Like his father, Emperor Xuanwu Li Chengzhao, he was over 50 years old when he ascended the throne.
His year name is Zhaowu.
Yes, Emperor Zhaowu is an emperor who loves manic attacks even more than his father and grandfather. He has been in power for 12 years, and basically fights every year. He is either fighting rebellion, or fighting north or south. Fight westward, fight overseas.Anyway, he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut; whatever happened to my imperial grandfather, I will do likewise.
It is true that he is addicted to learning from Li Zhiyun.
Then, he died, from exhaustion.
Zhaowu's year name is as poisonous, whoever messes with it is an idiot.You can't say that Emperor Zhaowu is useless, and you can't say that he is a waste, you can only say that he is not a good emperor.Because when this person was in power, he fought wars every year, and the land and overseas territories more than doubled, but the warehouse was directly emptied by him, and mice would cry hungry when they entered the warehouse.
He left a pile of mess to his crown prince, the fifth emperor of the empire, who was rumored among the people to be the heir appointed by Emperor Zhenguan after two generations, Li Yaoshun.
When Li Yaoshun came to the throne, he was finally different from Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Xuanwu. He was in his 30s, and he was in the prime of life.
After ascending the throne, Li Yaoshun changed his reign name to Xuanlong.Xuan means black, black dragon.The Black Dragon Banner of the Tang Empire was planted all over Kyushu.
He is the one who really learned from Emperor Zhenguan. After Emperor Xuanlong ascended the throne, he cleaned up the mess left by Emperor Zhaowu. It took only five years for the rapidly declining empire to stop the decline. , split up various interest groups in the court, and then re-measured all the acres within the empire's territory, distributed the people for free, massacred the local tyrants, and arranged immigration in an orderly manner.The imperial economy quickly recovered under the rule of Emperor Xuanlong.
People's hearts, just like this, once again attached to Lao Li's family.
When Emperor Xuanlong first came to the throne, he often said something like: Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, and the treasures left by two generations of emperors, were actually wiped out by Emperor Zhaowu alone. How did he do it?
Really, Emperor Xuanlong couldn't imagine how his father was prodigal.
Emperor Xuanlong cleared the land within the empire, and vigorously promoted the allocation of land to the mu, which was the most vigorous effort after Emperor Zhenguan.In the middle, nearly 70 years have passed.And slaughtering the powerful is the reserved skill of the emperor of the old Li family, basically everyone knows it, and everyone likes to use it.
Basically, all the people in the previous era died, but people who read history books think that Emperor Xuanlong is really similar to Emperor Zhenguan.
similar?
No, Emperor Xuanlong just wants to say, in fact, I just digested all the theoretical books my great-grandfather left me.
After the empire was stabilized, ZTE began, and 15 years later, the empire fully recovered to the prosperity of Emperor Xuanwu.But Emperor Xuanlong felt that it was not enough, he wanted to continue, he wanted to be as good as Emperor Zhenguan.
It's a pity that the empire's stall is even bigger at this time.
Because the steam engine was born.
After more than 100 years of development, the industry has finally ushered in a huge explosion period under the condition of solid theoretical knowledge.
Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, and Emperor Zhaowu, during the reign of these three emperors, all kinds of mechanical drawings left by skilled craftsmen in different eras were finally taken out by Emperor Xuanlong from the secret room of Chang'an Taiji Palace when the steam engine was resounding in the sky.
Trains, giant ships, automobiles, looms
Countless steam machines appeared in front of the world, smashing the ridiculous human and animal power.
When the black smoke filled the air, accompanied by the sound of "clang clang clang clang clang", it crushed on the icy and snowy Beizhou continent, passing through the vast ice field, muskets rang out, and ice bears fell in pools of blood among.
When the artillery set off a violent storm on the sea, the giant steel ship crushed the ridiculous water village of the Tianzhu natives, and the soldiers of the empire landed on the lost continent that the Emperor Zhenguan dreamed of and would never forget to let his descendants look for.
All kinds of crops were brought back to the empire by giant ships, planted and picked, and the population exploded within 20 years.
During the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, there were 1000 million households and a population of more than 6000 million at the time when the population was the largest.During the reign of Emperor Xuanwu, the population declined because large-scale immigration began.During the reign of Emperor Zhaowu, it further declined, because people were killed in wars and the economy was not good.
Now, as the crops are brought back, and the promotion of spreading the land into the mu is vigorously promoted again, the population has begun to rebound and rise.Once Emperor Xuanlong reigned, the population eventually exceeded [-] million.This is not counting the population of those colonies occupied by the empire, or the land of the overseas governor's mansion.
After the application of the steam engine, Emperor Xuanlong resolutely embarked on the road of conquest, attacking all the way to the west, and drove away a group of descendants of the old Li family.
Then, colonization began on various continents.Some historians believe that the real colonization of the Shentang Empire began with Emperor Xuanlong.
Emperor Xuanlong made a lot of achievements in his life, and he paid equal attention to civil and military affairs. Many people regarded him as the second emperor of Zhenguan.Emperor Xuanlong himself said that he was no match for Emperor Zhenguan.
Emperor Xuanlong was also a long-lived emperor. He reigned for 40 years, and later abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor and lived to be more than 80 years old.
Some people say that he is the emperor of the ZTE Empire, while others say that he is the emperor who saved the empire.
Later generations of historians studied it and found that the emperors of the Tang Empire were basically long-lived emperors who lived to be 80 or 90 years old. The most outrageous Emperor Zhenguan lived to be more than [-] years old.Some people thought that this longevity gene was inherited from Emperor Zhenguan, but it was quickly overturned.
Because, the brothers of Emperor Zhenguan generally live only five or sixty years old.Later, some people put forward the opinion that the longevity gene of the Tang Empire was inherited from the Hongnong Yang family, because after checking the genealogy of the Tang Empire, they found that several children born to Emperor Zhenguan's Empress Yang and their descendants lived long.And the family of King Ji, born to another Yang Zhaoyi, also lived a long life.Therefore, they concluded that the children of the Li family and the Yang family would live longer.
However, none of this matters.
The most important thing is that the most inconceivable thing for historians in the Tang Empire is that there were eight consecutive generations of Mingjun, and there were no bullshit seizures for eight consecutive generations. This is simply inconceivable.Even the most despised Emperor Zhaowu has merit. After all, the territory he has conquered is not small. At most, he can only be said to be militaristic, not a waste.
After research by historians, they found that once the crown prince of the Tang Empire was established, there would be no doubts between father and son.
Even the father and son with the worst relationship in the history of the Tang Empire, Emperor Ningwu and Emperor Daxing, did not doubt each other, at most they disliked each other.
Emperor Ningwu was the son of Emperor Xuanlong, and he always felt that Emperor Daxing was nothing like himself. For the prince.
Emperor Daxing was a bastard, and he didn't like his father who played with words all day long, and he was even more lazy to cater to his father's preferences, so he still did his own thing.Basically, during Emperor Ningwu's reign, Emperor Daxing, who was still a prince, only worked as an otaku.
Don't think that Emperor Ningwu only knows how to play all day long. He is evaluated by historians as the coldest, most scheming, and cruelest emperor in the history of the Tang Empire.His cruelty made the ministers faint with fright.
During Emperor Ning Wu's reign, it was the lowest pressure moment in the history of the entire empire, and everyone lived carefully.You know, one moment Emperor Ningwu might still be talking to you with a smile on his face, but the next moment, he will coldly order to kill your whole family, kill your whole family if he says to kill your whole family, and he will do what he says.
Of course, except for ordinary people.
Well, Emperor Ningwu once stepped on an old farmer's crops on horseback, and was pointed at his nose and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, and he didn't dare to fart.
When Emperor Ningwu was about to die, he summoned Emperor Daxing.At this time, Emperor Daxing had become a heroic man with fair skin and a ruddy complexion because he had been an otaku for a long time.
Emperor Ningwu was very happy. He took his son's hand and said, "This is my son, the descendants of my Li family. Since Emperor Zhenguan, the generations have been peerless."
Emperor Daxing was speechless and even wanted to cover his face.
Before Emperor Ningwu died, he told him that after succeeding to the throne, kill those dignitaries, kill those local tyrants, kill.
The traditional arts of the old Li family have been passed down from generation to generation.
Emperor Ning Wu is such a person, he is cruel, he is indifferent, and his scheming is so complicated that it is unpredictable.
He was evaluated by historians as a top professional emperor, the kind of star-level player with a transfer fee of over [-] million.
By the way, Emperor Ningwu was very good at painting butterflies. He left 32 paintings in his life, eight of which were lost. Among the remaining 24 paintings, there is one "Blue Butterfly" painted with leather as paper It is priceless.
As for why, then you have to know what kind of skin that skin is.
According to unofficial records, Emperor Ningwu was hurt by love, and then his temperament changed drastically. After he ascended the throne, he liked to pick up human skin to paint, especially butterflies.
Some people called Emperor Ningwu's first love the 'Queen Butterfly'.
After Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to start the traditional performing arts of the old Li family, massacre local tyrants frantically, and then cut taxes and taxes.After that, the second thing was to arrest all the painters in the palace and order them to use themselves as a template to draw a portrait of a woman.
As for who the woman was, there is no record in the history books.It is only written in the history books that Emperor Daxing killed all the painters in the palace.
This unsolved mystery was linked to the scandal of Emperor Ning Wu.Historians even guessed that Emperor Daxing was probably born of the rumored Queen Die, but this Queen Die did not harm Emperor Ningwu, but died early.
Of course, these are all speculations and there is no evidence at all.
Emperor Daxing is not as absurd as Emperor Ningwu, but he is not a good emperor. During his reign, he ran around, running all over the world, and he didn't have a day to live, as if he wanted to make up for his time when he was an otaku. Hilarious.
Even so, Emperor Daxing is not a fool, he just loves to play.During his time as emperor, the empire was only two words; development.
Nothing else, the Daxing Emperor didn't do anything else, just develop according to the normal path.He has no ambitions at all, he is completely flat out for pleasure, and he is completely sorry for his age.
After his death, Emperor Yuanhui ascended the throne.The eighth emperor of the Tang Empire, the last Mingjun, was very young when he ascended the throne, 16 years old.
The establishment of Emperor Yuanhui as the crown prince should be the most correct thing that Emperor Daxing, who was lying flat, did.
Because this young emperor once again made the empire strong after he ascended the throne. He followed the path of the two ancestors, Emperor Zhenguan and Emperor Xuanlong, and reorganized the empire up and down, inside and out, and made the empire complete. It completely occupied the continents of Australia and the United States, and turned the entire Pacific Ocean into the "Great Lake" of the empire.In addition, he also popularized the order left by his ancestor Emperor Zhenguan; build primary schools and middle schools.
With the efforts of Emperor Yuan Hui, every prefecture and county has primary and secondary schools, and universities have been established in some big cities.In terms of education, the Emperor Yuanhui was the last emperor of the Tang Empire, and so was the Emperor Zhenguan.But it is also understandable. Emperor Zhenguan had too many challenges and things to do at that time, and it was time to lay the foundation.
At that time, people praised Emperor Yuanhui as Emperor Zhenguan alive.
Emperor Yuanhui was very cold in temper, a bit like Emperor Ningwu, but he was not as cruel as Emperor Ningwu, he was only cruel to the enemy.
Still, the courtiers feared him.
The reason why history remembers this emperor is not only his achievements, but also a stupid thing he did, which almost made him nailed to the pillar of shame.
This matter is that in the history of the Tang Empire, after Emperor Wude, he was the only emperor who wavered after the establishment of a prince.The difference is that historians generally believe that Emperor Wude wanted to play an imperial balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.The Emperor Yuanhui was purely for fun.
The matter is also very simple. The first prince he registered was Prince Yuanlie. The decree abolished the prince Yuanlie, and made the youngest son Xian Wang the prince.This prince is the Minghua Emperor.
At the same time, Emperor Minghua was also the worst emperor in the entire history of the Tang Empire, bar none.
He was so rotten that he killed seven half-brothers and occupied three sisters, it was outrageous to the extreme.People at the time sighed that Emperor Zhenguan could be crawled out of the grave by this bastard.
You know, since Emperor Xuanwu, the emperors of the Tang Empire have actually done well in terms of personal morality, and none of them is worse than Emperor Zhenguan.Even Emperor Ningwu is nothing but cruel rather than immoral.
In addition, there are more than 8 people in the harem of Emperor Minghua, which is a big joke in the world.During the emperor's reign, fires broke out everywhere inside and outside the empire, and there were uprisings everywhere in the Central Plains. It seemed that the empire had come to an end.
The last thing he died was also quite ridiculous. He died on a woman's belly at the age of 26.
After the death of Emperor Minghua, the son of Prince Yuanlie, who had been imprisoned at the time, launched an uprising in Taiyuan. In 12 years, he suppressed the uprising in the Central Plains and ascended the throne in Yandu as Emperor Guanglie.
After Emperor Guanglie ascended the throne, although the empire had calmed down, the overseas colonies announced one after another that they would no longer regard the empire as their suzerain, but would establish themselves as a country.Emperor Guanglie spent his entire life on the road to suppressing the rebellion, and it took him 35 years to restore the empire's territory to the period of Emperor Yuanhui.
The war that lasted for half a century has exhausted the vitality of the empire.
Just when people all over the world thought that Emperor Guanglie's successor would rejuvenate the empire like Emperor Xuanlong and Emperor Yuanhui, something jaw-dropping happened.
According to the division of historians, the capital of Emperor Guanglie was in Yandu, which should belong to the later Tang Dynasty.
Just like the two Hans, the former Han was before Liu Xiu, and the Later Han was after Liu Xiu.
Before Emperor Guanglie, it was the former Tang Dynasty, or the Xuantang Dynasty. Because the Tang Empire before Guanglie Emperor was honored with black, and after Emperor Guanglie, purple was honored, so it is also called Zitang, and it is the post-Tang era.
There were sixteen emperors in the Later Tang Dynasty, and all these sixteen emperors were mediocre, and the best one was only Emperor Guanglie, who could fight.Worst of all, he was choked to death in the toilet by the queen mother just one day after he took the throne.
Very strange phenomenon.
Historians have found that the former Tang Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty seem to be two dynasties, and they are obviously descendants of the old Li family, but the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty is very bad.Moreover, all kinds of messy things happened in the post-Tang Dynasty.
What kind of harem meddling in politics, what eunuchs meddling in politics, power ministers in power, local uprisings, 28 sons seizing the heirs, are basically going to a dead end. Compared with the former Tang Dynasty, the later Tang Dynasty is more like a dying person living on his last breath, a bit There is no vitality.
Historians even say that the post-Tang era is more like those dynasties in history, because what happened in it, other dynasties have.Only the former Tang Dynasty was different. What happened in this era and even its emperors were different from other dynasties.
What is different, I can’t say. What is clear is that although some emperors in the former Tang Dynasty were outrageous, they were very skilled in governing the country, and they were very trustworthy by the people.
But it was not in the post-Tang period. The people in the post-Tang period basically wanted to strangle the emperor to death.
Another point is that the heirs chosen by the emperors in the later Tang Dynasty were worse than the other, and they often changed their minds. They were not as firm as the emperors in the former Tang Dynasty.
Historians have studied for a long time, and speculate that the reason for this situation is probably because Emperor Guanglie did not get the inheritance that only belonged to the royal family after he took over the country in an uprising.
This is the clues they found in the personal records of Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Zhaowu, Emperor Xuanlong, Emperor Ningwu, Emperor Daxing, Emperor Yuanhui, Prince Yuanlie, and Emperor Minghua.
Specifically, all those who were registered as princes basically studied government affairs with the emperor.For example, Emperor Xuanwu was registered as the prince in his early years, and he listened to the ministers behind the scenes all the year round to discuss the affairs of Emperor Zhenguan.
Although the outrageous otaku Emperor Daxing was not close to Emperor Ningwu, there are still relevant records in the history books.
For example, in autumn and August, Shaoji, the governor of Xingdao, entered the Wanshou Palace to report on his duties, and the prince watched him from the side.
The prince here is the Daxing Emperor.
In addition to this, historians suspect that there must have been some kind of lost book that was passed down from generation to generation inside the imperial court of the Li Tang Empire.
Because in the former Tang Dynasty, every emperor mentioned a book called "Tang Xun".
For example, Emperor Xuanlong once said; "Tang Xun" handed down by family ancestors is wonderful.
Emperor Ningwu said: "The ancestors of Zhenguan passed down the teachings, and I dare not forget them for a moment."
Emperor Daxing said: "When I was young, if I didn't read the training, my father would blame me. Every time I stick it, the starry night will be restless."
Even Emperor Minghua was once recorded by historians like this; in the summer of six years, the emperor was startled at night, started to kill people again, and said indiscriminately, repeatedly saying, "Father, the boy has learned the training, don't punish him!" '.
Therefore, historians reasonably suspect that because of the loss of "Tang Xun", the quality of the emperors of the Li and Tang Empires plummeted.
After all, the Prince Yuan Lie, who was first registered by Emperor Yuan Hui, was actually known as a filial and virtuous prince in the history books.And Emperor Guanglie, the son of Prince Yuanlie, can be regarded as the master of ZTE.Calculated according to time, when Emperor Yuanhui was in power, "Tang Xun" was still there, and the prince Yuanlie whom Emperor Yuanhui chose at the beginning was actually a very good heir.Moreover, the son of this heir would also be a good heir.
But it is a pity that Emperor Yuanhui changed his mind.
Regarding why Emperor Yuanhui suddenly changed his mind, historians have given two explanations that are more widely recognized by the public.
First, Zheng Meiren, the biological mother of Emperor Minghua, was so fascinated by the elderly Emperor Yuanhui that she favored the youngest son Emperor Minghua even more.
Second, Prince Yuanlie is not like himself!
More historians are actually more inclined to the second possibility.Because looking at the emperors of the entire former Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that these emperors are more irritable and unreasonable than the other.Except for ordinary people who can point their noses and scold them, who else, especially the Fanbang people, dare to open their mouths and say a word, and if you don't dig out the eighteen generations of your ancestors, you will be lucky.
Just look at their year numbers and it's either a show of muscle or a show of muscle.
I won't say much about Xuanwu and Zhaowu.The seemingly peaceful reign name, Zhenguan, has its true meaning, but it comes from this sentence.
The way of heaven and earth is also for those who watch the world.
What does it mean, what the Emperor Zhenguan said is right, whatever is right, what the Emperor Zhenguan says is bad, then whatever is bad.If you are disobedient, then you do not conform to the way of heaven and earth, and you should not exist!
This is more terrifying than Zhao Wu.
In other words, this domineering and violent genetic memory was passed down from Emperor Zhenguan.
The emperors of all dynasties, such as the lying emperor Daxing, once got angry because overseas foreign countries only paid him a piece of "sacred land", and angrily ordered twelve giant ships to raze the small island.
As a result, he found out afterwards that the tribute to him of the holy land was meant to express his willingness to surrender.
However, Prince Yuanlie couldn't do it, because historians found that Prince Yuanlie recorded in history books was too gentle, and a low-level official could drive in front of the prince's special car.And Emperor Yuanhui even said; the prince is like a little girl!
Therefore, they suspected that because of Prince Yuanlie's too gentle personality, Emperor Yuanhui felt that although the prince was smart enough, he was not cruel enough to let him inherit the throne, otherwise he would be controlled by the ministers.
As for Emperor Minghua, he was really ruthless enough, and ended up playing badly.Some people even speculate that if Emperor Minghua had not died so early, I am afraid that the former Tang Dynasty would not have ended.
The powerful Tang Empire lasted for three years in 510.Its strength and prosperity are all in the more than 200 years of the former Tang Dynasty, and the more than 200 years of the post-Tang Dynasty. It is a process of the gradual disintegration of an empire, and the entire empire is being torn apart anytime and anywhere.
Enemies from all directions devour the flesh and blood of the huge empire all the time.
If it is said that Li Zhiyun would be pissed off when he saw the post-Tang Dynasty, then when the empire collapsed and the young people who overthrew the empire got off the helicopter and walked to his tombstone, Li Zhiyun probably laughed.
Because, this young man is called Li Jinyang.
"Raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think of your hometown." The handsome young man was in a windbreaker, with a Tang knife hanging from his waist, and his whole body was majestic and heroic.
"Young commander, we are rebelling. We can't stay here for too long with our ancestors. Raksha is still waiting for the young commander to take charge of the overall situation." Duan Chen said.
Li Jinyang nodded, then smiled again.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I remember happy things."
"What are you happy about?"
"There is an anecdote recorded in the ancestor's book. When the ancestor rebelled with Emperor Wude, he once said the two poems I just said in front of Duan Zhixuan."
"Eh?" Duan Chen was taken aback, "My ancestor?"
"Yes."
Li Jinyang is the seventh son of Emperor Zhenguan, a descendant of Longwang Li Chengxuan.
Now, the Tang Empire collapsed, and those descendants of Emperor Zhenguan's son who had been kicked out by the descendants of the old four family all came back.
There are still a few extra chapters in the back, and I will write to you when I recover.
(End of this chapter)
Proactive clarification and clarification under questioning by others are two different things.Li Zhiyun is waiting for those aristocratic families to take the bait.Sure enough, he finally waited until the Guanlong people took the initiative to meet him and ask about this matter.The situation of Guanlong people is getting worse and worse. It is certain to be rich, and it is certain to have honor.After all, the empire has only two generations of emperors so far, and the Guanlong people were the major shareholders who contributed money and people in the early days of the empire, and the dividends were enough for them to eat a lot.But the point is, they have no power.
They are all the chairman of the board, but the board of directors has been disbanded by the emperor, and the capital of all directors has also been tightly controlled by the emperor. All the personnel and materials of the empire are in the hands of the emperor, and the directors of Guanlong can only get money every year , You cannot hold actual power in the company.They urgently need to find new opportunities now.
No one knows what the people of Guanlong discussed with the emperor. They only know that not long after, the people of Guanlong suddenly expressed their willingness to hand over [-]% of the land in Guanzhong to the imperial court for free, and supported the imperial court's implementation of the system of dividing the land into acres in Guanzhong.The Dugu family, the Dou family, the Yu family, the Changsun family and other families also stated that they were willing to hand over [-]% of the land of the middle generation of the Bashu Han to the imperial court, and they also fully supported the imperial court's implementation of dividing the land into mu among the Bashu Han.
The news spread, and the government and the opposition were in turmoil.Many people thought that the people of Guanlong had a collective outbreak of swine fever, otherwise they would not have done such an outrageous thing.However, they soon understood why the Guanlong people were so generous this time.
First, the emperor promoted Yu Zhining to be Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then let him independently preside over the affairs of Guanzhong stalls entering the mu.Later, Dai Zhou retired because of his old age, and Li Zhiyun immediately asked Yu Zhining to take the post of prime minister.
The ministers understood that the Guanlong people were making an exchange with the imperial court, bow their heads.
There was no other reason for Dai Zhou's resignation, it was because he was not young enough to hold on to paper work.Li Zhiyun was very generous to him, he was given a high position by the official lord, he was rewarded with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he was given a token to enter the palace to meet him at any time, and at the same time he promoted his son to be an official, giving him enough face.By the way, I also told him that he didn't need to repair the tomb. When he died in the future, he should be buried lightly first, and then when Li Zhiyun also belched, he would be buried in his imperial mausoleum.
In addition, there is no Lingyan Pavilion here, but there is Qilin Hall.In the words of Li Zhiyun: All my subordinates are talented in civil and military unicorns.
The exchange of Guanlong people did not stop here until ten years later, a young general named Dugu Chengxin conquered the small stone country of Bahanna in Sogdia, and was named "Shi Guogong" by the emperor, allowing him to support troops there and stand on his own. But after they had to make an offering to the local king of the Li Tang clan, the ministers suddenly realized that the emperor allowed the people of Guanlong to establish a country thousands of miles away.Although it is necessary to make an offering to King Li Tang, the local guardian of the mansion, that is also the lord of a country!
Then, all the great families in the world followed suit one after another.This is something to say later, so there is no need to elaborate.
Li Zhiyun's blueprint for enfeoffment is like this.
First of all, the highest level is the existence of the sacrosanct empire.The territory of the empire extends to the sea in the east, Linyi in the south, Shule's homeland in the west in the west, and the Angara River in the north.In addition, the islands of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, Tubo, Ryukyu, etc., have all of them in later generations, and there are none.If the north is not too cold, it will be pushed directly to the North Pole along the route.After all, the people on the grassland are all Tang people now.
The next level is the king of Li Tang's clan.They will establish vassal states one by one outside the territory of the empire to defend the empire.They may not pay tribute to the imperial court, but they cannot step into the empire's territory. Without the order of the emperor, the kings of the vassal states only need to step into the empire's territory, which is tantamount to rebellion.
Of course, this restriction is only valid if the emperor is still surnamed Li, or a descendant of Li Zhiyun.If one day, the unworthy descendants of the old Li family defeated the family, and the brothers from outside wanted to come in to revive Datang, then there would be no constraints.
Another level, hero.
These three levels go down one by one.They will eventually cover all the colonial lands densely in a star-studded manner with various positions.Li Tang's patriarchal king belonged to the highest level in the colony. The following heroes and aristocratic families established manors one by one. They were allowed to control certain private soldiers, but they had to pay taxes to Li Tang's patriarchal king on time.Except that Tang people are not allowed to do hard work, slaves are whatever.As for taxes, poll taxes.
In other words, Li Zhiyun will be an outdated, but beneficial policy for the aristocratic family, allowing them to play casually in the colony.As for how cruel it will be in the end, that is beyond Li Zhiyun's control.If you want others to go out willingly to help you run your business, if you don't give benefits, how can others be willing.
To be honest, Li Zhiyun still wants to do more, but no, there is not enough time, and the empire has not accumulated enough, so he can only do it step by step.Letting his sons go out to build the country does not mean that Li Zhiyun will not take care of the prince. He left the vast and boundless land in the north, which contains inexhaustible resources, to the empire. Incorporating it into the imperial ruling system is to create a perfect coastal defense line.
Of course, there is also the south, which is also within the strategic scope of the empire.In the Western Regions, the empire is beyond its reach, and people must spontaneously fight westward there, even to the farthest west.
The main thing Li Zhiyun will do in the next few years is to open up the sea, develop the south, and fight against Japan.Among these three things, the Japanese kingdom is the best solution. Later, Liu Rengui was ordered to drive a giant ship, break through the Japanese king's city in one fell swoop, and capture all the small Japanese people back as slaves.And Li Zhiyun also instructed Liu Rengui to look for gold and silver mines on the island, which eventually attracted a large number of gold diggers to Wa Island, which greatly enriched the population.
Opening the sea is also easy. The task Li Zhiyun gave himself is very easy. He only needs to constantly improve the sea chart, and then gradually send people out to occupy the island and reclaim the land.
Only the development of the south is the most difficult, because of the climate, because of the water and soil, and it took him more than ten years of hard work to see the initial results.
When looking back on his life, Li Zhiyun suddenly found that the plate he had opened was too big, and then hesitantly asked the prince if he could handle it?
The prince replied, he can.
Li Zhiyun believed him, after all, he taught the prince himself.Later, before Li Chengzhao succeeded to the throne, he first supervised the country when the emperor went out to inspect the world.Later, when the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang, he was in charge of guarding Xijing and managing the workshop.Generally speaking, Li Chengzhao has done many things during his years as the prince.
Expeditions, supervising the country, researching science, opening universities, governing the south, visiting the homeland of Goguryeo, etc.In the army, the imperial court, and the emperor basically let him dabble.At the same time, he was also asked to preside over the imperial examination, and let him try his best to attract talents.
When the emperor was old and chose to abdicate to become the Supreme Emperor, that night, the emperor said to the prince; help you one last time as a father.
Then, a group of nobles were relegated, and another group of sinners were directly killed.At that time, the old brothers who followed Li Zhiyun to fight the world were almost dead, Li Zhiyun didn't care at all.
After the killing, the emperor asked the court again, and the ministers who had been on his side who had been at odds with the prince all this time retired and returned home, and gave up a lot of positions to the prince to promote his confidantes.
The emperor said to the prince: "The man who is dressed as a beast is not from one dynasty."
Then, with a hunched body, he led the prince and pushed him on the throne.
"You are the emperor now, replace me and take good care of the people."
After that, the emperor went to Taiyuan.
Because his daughter, Princess Jinyang, is the principal of Jinyang University, he went there to help and write knowledge points by the way, as much as he could write while he was still in a daze.
When Li Chengzhao was full-fledged, the emperor would sometimes beat him unavoidably, and gradually it became the emperor's ministers targeting the prince's confidants.It has been like this in all dynasties, and the father and son Li Zhiyun and Li Chengzhao are not immune.But the good thing is that Li Zhiyun dislikes this kind of thing very much. Unless the prince is doing something wrong, he doesn't care how the prince dances.
But the prince didn't care at all, the relationship between him and his old father was not something that the ministers could provoke, and even Empress Yang spoke in it, so there was no estrangement between the family at all.
In the 48th year of Zhenguan, Li Zhiyun abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, and directly gave the throne to the crown prince, and the crown prince was even more grateful.Because, his old father was still able to ride a horse and hunt at an early age, and his body was not very good.If Li Zhiyun remained the emperor, Li Chengzhao felt that he would have to wait.
Li Zhiyun is too lazy to be an emperor, because he is so fucking tired, and he thinks it will be fine after being an emperor for 50 years.The main reason is that being an emperor has become more and more boring these years. The old people die one after another, and the new ones come one after another. He is getting older, and he really doesn't want to intrigue.
What's more, if you continue to be the emperor, what if the prince doesn't live past himself?
In fact, Prince Li Chengzhao was over 50 years old when he came to the throne.
Li Chengzhao's son, Prince Li Xuanyuan is also in his 30s.And Li Xuanyuan's son Li Yaoshun is also eight or nine years old.
Well, Li Zhiyun has even met his great-grandson.The name Li Xuanyuan was chosen for his grandson by Li Zhiyun himself. Li Xuanyuan was not called this name at first, but after Li Zhiyun's investigation, Li Zhiyun personally canonized him as the grandson of the emperor, and then gave him the name Li Xuanyuan.
Li Zhiyun is not afraid that his grandson will not be able to bear the big name, because he will be the fourth emperor of the empire in the future, and he can bear it!
And the name of the great-grandson Li Yaoshun was also given by Li Zhiyun, because this kid and Li Chengzhao were so fucking like when they were young, they were as smart and flamboyant, both he and Queen Yang liked this great-grandson.
It is said that after Li Chengzhao ascended the throne, he changed his reign name to Xuanwu.The reign of Zhenguan, which lasted for 48 years, finally ushered in its end.However, no one can forget, and no one can forget, the terrible influence of this year name in the world.
The influence of Emperor Zhenguan!
Xuanwu's year name, the meaning is obvious, I'm going to hit someone.
During Li Chengzhao's reign, he completely continued the style of Emperor Zhenguan, beating those honorable families with heavy blows internally.Externally, murder and set fire everywhere.In fact, by the time of Emperor Xuanwu's reign, the aristocratic families within the empire had been completely lonely.Because most of the aristocratic families either went to the extreme west to develop or went overseas, the aristocratic families in the empire were all three or two kittens.
Even so, Emperor Xuanwu was not careless and killed him when he caught him.Externally, Emperor Xuanwu had two main directions of attack, one was the south, and the other was the rebellious natives of Wa Island.Of course, there are also descendants of the brothers who were enfeoffed in the west.
Emperor Xuanwu was smart. Seeing that his brothers managed Sogdia very well, and after Tang people were everywhere, he decided to pick things up to occupy the land.The descendants of the brothers over there have long scolded their mothers, Li Zhiyun is still alive, and the son over there scolds the fourth brother for being shameless, and you are still thinking about this little thing in the brother's bowl, you are still human.
After all, Emperor Xuanwu still wanted face, and then he stopped making trouble. After all, the old father was still in Taiyuan for the elderly, so he couldn't tear himself apart with his brothers at this time.Later, he focused on managing Tubo.
The area of Tubo was completely taken down during the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, but it has been operating very slowly.
Plateau climate Well, understand.
Emperor Xuanwu reigned for 18 years, and abdicated at the age of 70 to become the Supreme Emperor. There was no other way. Li Chengzhao felt that he was too old and lacked energy to carry on.At this time, the nearly 90-year-old emperor Li Zhiyun was still alive, but he was about to burp.
Therefore, after Emperor Xuanwu became Taishanghuang, Li Zhiyun was awarded the only title that has never existed since ancient times; Taizu Shanghuang.
To be honest, in order to consider this title, the new emperor thought about it for a long time, and almost died of entanglement.
In the end, after much deliberation, we might as well add an "ancestor" among the Taishanghuang. Anyway, Emperor Zhenguan is his grandfather.
There is nothing wrong with Taizu Shanghuang.
The fourth emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Xuanyuan.Like his father, Emperor Xuanwu Li Chengzhao, he was over 50 years old when he ascended the throne.
His year name is Zhaowu.
Yes, Emperor Zhaowu is an emperor who loves manic attacks even more than his father and grandfather. He has been in power for 12 years, and basically fights every year. He is either fighting rebellion, or fighting north or south. Fight westward, fight overseas.Anyway, he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut; whatever happened to my imperial grandfather, I will do likewise.
It is true that he is addicted to learning from Li Zhiyun.
Then, he died, from exhaustion.
Zhaowu's year name is as poisonous, whoever messes with it is an idiot.You can't say that Emperor Zhaowu is useless, and you can't say that he is a waste, you can only say that he is not a good emperor.Because when this person was in power, he fought wars every year, and the land and overseas territories more than doubled, but the warehouse was directly emptied by him, and mice would cry hungry when they entered the warehouse.
He left a pile of mess to his crown prince, the fifth emperor of the empire, who was rumored among the people to be the heir appointed by Emperor Zhenguan after two generations, Li Yaoshun.
When Li Yaoshun came to the throne, he was finally different from Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Xuanwu. He was in his 30s, and he was in the prime of life.
After ascending the throne, Li Yaoshun changed his reign name to Xuanlong.Xuan means black, black dragon.The Black Dragon Banner of the Tang Empire was planted all over Kyushu.
He is the one who really learned from Emperor Zhenguan. After Emperor Xuanlong ascended the throne, he cleaned up the mess left by Emperor Zhaowu. It took only five years for the rapidly declining empire to stop the decline. , split up various interest groups in the court, and then re-measured all the acres within the empire's territory, distributed the people for free, massacred the local tyrants, and arranged immigration in an orderly manner.The imperial economy quickly recovered under the rule of Emperor Xuanlong.
People's hearts, just like this, once again attached to Lao Li's family.
When Emperor Xuanlong first came to the throne, he often said something like: Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, and the treasures left by two generations of emperors, were actually wiped out by Emperor Zhaowu alone. How did he do it?
Really, Emperor Xuanlong couldn't imagine how his father was prodigal.
Emperor Xuanlong cleared the land within the empire, and vigorously promoted the allocation of land to the mu, which was the most vigorous effort after Emperor Zhenguan.In the middle, nearly 70 years have passed.And slaughtering the powerful is the reserved skill of the emperor of the old Li family, basically everyone knows it, and everyone likes to use it.
Basically, all the people in the previous era died, but people who read history books think that Emperor Xuanlong is really similar to Emperor Zhenguan.
similar?
No, Emperor Xuanlong just wants to say, in fact, I just digested all the theoretical books my great-grandfather left me.
After the empire was stabilized, ZTE began, and 15 years later, the empire fully recovered to the prosperity of Emperor Xuanwu.But Emperor Xuanlong felt that it was not enough, he wanted to continue, he wanted to be as good as Emperor Zhenguan.
It's a pity that the empire's stall is even bigger at this time.
Because the steam engine was born.
After more than 100 years of development, the industry has finally ushered in a huge explosion period under the condition of solid theoretical knowledge.
Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, and Emperor Zhaowu, during the reign of these three emperors, all kinds of mechanical drawings left by skilled craftsmen in different eras were finally taken out by Emperor Xuanlong from the secret room of Chang'an Taiji Palace when the steam engine was resounding in the sky.
Trains, giant ships, automobiles, looms
Countless steam machines appeared in front of the world, smashing the ridiculous human and animal power.
When the black smoke filled the air, accompanied by the sound of "clang clang clang clang clang", it crushed on the icy and snowy Beizhou continent, passing through the vast ice field, muskets rang out, and ice bears fell in pools of blood among.
When the artillery set off a violent storm on the sea, the giant steel ship crushed the ridiculous water village of the Tianzhu natives, and the soldiers of the empire landed on the lost continent that the Emperor Zhenguan dreamed of and would never forget to let his descendants look for.
All kinds of crops were brought back to the empire by giant ships, planted and picked, and the population exploded within 20 years.
During the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, there were 1000 million households and a population of more than 6000 million at the time when the population was the largest.During the reign of Emperor Xuanwu, the population declined because large-scale immigration began.During the reign of Emperor Zhaowu, it further declined, because people were killed in wars and the economy was not good.
Now, as the crops are brought back, and the promotion of spreading the land into the mu is vigorously promoted again, the population has begun to rebound and rise.Once Emperor Xuanlong reigned, the population eventually exceeded [-] million.This is not counting the population of those colonies occupied by the empire, or the land of the overseas governor's mansion.
After the application of the steam engine, Emperor Xuanlong resolutely embarked on the road of conquest, attacking all the way to the west, and drove away a group of descendants of the old Li family.
Then, colonization began on various continents.Some historians believe that the real colonization of the Shentang Empire began with Emperor Xuanlong.
Emperor Xuanlong made a lot of achievements in his life, and he paid equal attention to civil and military affairs. Many people regarded him as the second emperor of Zhenguan.Emperor Xuanlong himself said that he was no match for Emperor Zhenguan.
Emperor Xuanlong was also a long-lived emperor. He reigned for 40 years, and later abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor and lived to be more than 80 years old.
Some people say that he is the emperor of the ZTE Empire, while others say that he is the emperor who saved the empire.
Later generations of historians studied it and found that the emperors of the Tang Empire were basically long-lived emperors who lived to be 80 or 90 years old. The most outrageous Emperor Zhenguan lived to be more than [-] years old.Some people thought that this longevity gene was inherited from Emperor Zhenguan, but it was quickly overturned.
Because, the brothers of Emperor Zhenguan generally live only five or sixty years old.Later, some people put forward the opinion that the longevity gene of the Tang Empire was inherited from the Hongnong Yang family, because after checking the genealogy of the Tang Empire, they found that several children born to Emperor Zhenguan's Empress Yang and their descendants lived long.And the family of King Ji, born to another Yang Zhaoyi, also lived a long life.Therefore, they concluded that the children of the Li family and the Yang family would live longer.
However, none of this matters.
The most important thing is that the most inconceivable thing for historians in the Tang Empire is that there were eight consecutive generations of Mingjun, and there were no bullshit seizures for eight consecutive generations. This is simply inconceivable.Even the most despised Emperor Zhaowu has merit. After all, the territory he has conquered is not small. At most, he can only be said to be militaristic, not a waste.
After research by historians, they found that once the crown prince of the Tang Empire was established, there would be no doubts between father and son.
Even the father and son with the worst relationship in the history of the Tang Empire, Emperor Ningwu and Emperor Daxing, did not doubt each other, at most they disliked each other.
Emperor Ningwu was the son of Emperor Xuanlong, and he always felt that Emperor Daxing was nothing like himself. For the prince.
Emperor Daxing was a bastard, and he didn't like his father who played with words all day long, and he was even more lazy to cater to his father's preferences, so he still did his own thing.Basically, during Emperor Ningwu's reign, Emperor Daxing, who was still a prince, only worked as an otaku.
Don't think that Emperor Ningwu only knows how to play all day long. He is evaluated by historians as the coldest, most scheming, and cruelest emperor in the history of the Tang Empire.His cruelty made the ministers faint with fright.
During Emperor Ning Wu's reign, it was the lowest pressure moment in the history of the entire empire, and everyone lived carefully.You know, one moment Emperor Ningwu might still be talking to you with a smile on his face, but the next moment, he will coldly order to kill your whole family, kill your whole family if he says to kill your whole family, and he will do what he says.
Of course, except for ordinary people.
Well, Emperor Ningwu once stepped on an old farmer's crops on horseback, and was pointed at his nose and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, and he didn't dare to fart.
When Emperor Ningwu was about to die, he summoned Emperor Daxing.At this time, Emperor Daxing had become a heroic man with fair skin and a ruddy complexion because he had been an otaku for a long time.
Emperor Ningwu was very happy. He took his son's hand and said, "This is my son, the descendants of my Li family. Since Emperor Zhenguan, the generations have been peerless."
Emperor Daxing was speechless and even wanted to cover his face.
Before Emperor Ningwu died, he told him that after succeeding to the throne, kill those dignitaries, kill those local tyrants, kill.
The traditional arts of the old Li family have been passed down from generation to generation.
Emperor Ning Wu is such a person, he is cruel, he is indifferent, and his scheming is so complicated that it is unpredictable.
He was evaluated by historians as a top professional emperor, the kind of star-level player with a transfer fee of over [-] million.
By the way, Emperor Ningwu was very good at painting butterflies. He left 32 paintings in his life, eight of which were lost. Among the remaining 24 paintings, there is one "Blue Butterfly" painted with leather as paper It is priceless.
As for why, then you have to know what kind of skin that skin is.
According to unofficial records, Emperor Ningwu was hurt by love, and then his temperament changed drastically. After he ascended the throne, he liked to pick up human skin to paint, especially butterflies.
Some people called Emperor Ningwu's first love the 'Queen Butterfly'.
After Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to start the traditional performing arts of the old Li family, massacre local tyrants frantically, and then cut taxes and taxes.After that, the second thing was to arrest all the painters in the palace and order them to use themselves as a template to draw a portrait of a woman.
As for who the woman was, there is no record in the history books.It is only written in the history books that Emperor Daxing killed all the painters in the palace.
This unsolved mystery was linked to the scandal of Emperor Ning Wu.Historians even guessed that Emperor Daxing was probably born of the rumored Queen Die, but this Queen Die did not harm Emperor Ningwu, but died early.
Of course, these are all speculations and there is no evidence at all.
Emperor Daxing is not as absurd as Emperor Ningwu, but he is not a good emperor. During his reign, he ran around, running all over the world, and he didn't have a day to live, as if he wanted to make up for his time when he was an otaku. Hilarious.
Even so, Emperor Daxing is not a fool, he just loves to play.During his time as emperor, the empire was only two words; development.
Nothing else, the Daxing Emperor didn't do anything else, just develop according to the normal path.He has no ambitions at all, he is completely flat out for pleasure, and he is completely sorry for his age.
After his death, Emperor Yuanhui ascended the throne.The eighth emperor of the Tang Empire, the last Mingjun, was very young when he ascended the throne, 16 years old.
The establishment of Emperor Yuanhui as the crown prince should be the most correct thing that Emperor Daxing, who was lying flat, did.
Because this young emperor once again made the empire strong after he ascended the throne. He followed the path of the two ancestors, Emperor Zhenguan and Emperor Xuanlong, and reorganized the empire up and down, inside and out, and made the empire complete. It completely occupied the continents of Australia and the United States, and turned the entire Pacific Ocean into the "Great Lake" of the empire.In addition, he also popularized the order left by his ancestor Emperor Zhenguan; build primary schools and middle schools.
With the efforts of Emperor Yuan Hui, every prefecture and county has primary and secondary schools, and universities have been established in some big cities.In terms of education, the Emperor Yuanhui was the last emperor of the Tang Empire, and so was the Emperor Zhenguan.But it is also understandable. Emperor Zhenguan had too many challenges and things to do at that time, and it was time to lay the foundation.
At that time, people praised Emperor Yuanhui as Emperor Zhenguan alive.
Emperor Yuanhui was very cold in temper, a bit like Emperor Ningwu, but he was not as cruel as Emperor Ningwu, he was only cruel to the enemy.
Still, the courtiers feared him.
The reason why history remembers this emperor is not only his achievements, but also a stupid thing he did, which almost made him nailed to the pillar of shame.
This matter is that in the history of the Tang Empire, after Emperor Wude, he was the only emperor who wavered after the establishment of a prince.The difference is that historians generally believe that Emperor Wude wanted to play an imperial balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.The Emperor Yuanhui was purely for fun.
The matter is also very simple. The first prince he registered was Prince Yuanlie. The decree abolished the prince Yuanlie, and made the youngest son Xian Wang the prince.This prince is the Minghua Emperor.
At the same time, Emperor Minghua was also the worst emperor in the entire history of the Tang Empire, bar none.
He was so rotten that he killed seven half-brothers and occupied three sisters, it was outrageous to the extreme.People at the time sighed that Emperor Zhenguan could be crawled out of the grave by this bastard.
You know, since Emperor Xuanwu, the emperors of the Tang Empire have actually done well in terms of personal morality, and none of them is worse than Emperor Zhenguan.Even Emperor Ningwu is nothing but cruel rather than immoral.
In addition, there are more than 8 people in the harem of Emperor Minghua, which is a big joke in the world.During the emperor's reign, fires broke out everywhere inside and outside the empire, and there were uprisings everywhere in the Central Plains. It seemed that the empire had come to an end.
The last thing he died was also quite ridiculous. He died on a woman's belly at the age of 26.
After the death of Emperor Minghua, the son of Prince Yuanlie, who had been imprisoned at the time, launched an uprising in Taiyuan. In 12 years, he suppressed the uprising in the Central Plains and ascended the throne in Yandu as Emperor Guanglie.
After Emperor Guanglie ascended the throne, although the empire had calmed down, the overseas colonies announced one after another that they would no longer regard the empire as their suzerain, but would establish themselves as a country.Emperor Guanglie spent his entire life on the road to suppressing the rebellion, and it took him 35 years to restore the empire's territory to the period of Emperor Yuanhui.
The war that lasted for half a century has exhausted the vitality of the empire.
Just when people all over the world thought that Emperor Guanglie's successor would rejuvenate the empire like Emperor Xuanlong and Emperor Yuanhui, something jaw-dropping happened.
According to the division of historians, the capital of Emperor Guanglie was in Yandu, which should belong to the later Tang Dynasty.
Just like the two Hans, the former Han was before Liu Xiu, and the Later Han was after Liu Xiu.
Before Emperor Guanglie, it was the former Tang Dynasty, or the Xuantang Dynasty. Because the Tang Empire before Guanglie Emperor was honored with black, and after Emperor Guanglie, purple was honored, so it is also called Zitang, and it is the post-Tang era.
There were sixteen emperors in the Later Tang Dynasty, and all these sixteen emperors were mediocre, and the best one was only Emperor Guanglie, who could fight.Worst of all, he was choked to death in the toilet by the queen mother just one day after he took the throne.
Very strange phenomenon.
Historians have found that the former Tang Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty seem to be two dynasties, and they are obviously descendants of the old Li family, but the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty is very bad.Moreover, all kinds of messy things happened in the post-Tang Dynasty.
What kind of harem meddling in politics, what eunuchs meddling in politics, power ministers in power, local uprisings, 28 sons seizing the heirs, are basically going to a dead end. Compared with the former Tang Dynasty, the later Tang Dynasty is more like a dying person living on his last breath, a bit There is no vitality.
Historians even say that the post-Tang era is more like those dynasties in history, because what happened in it, other dynasties have.Only the former Tang Dynasty was different. What happened in this era and even its emperors were different from other dynasties.
What is different, I can’t say. What is clear is that although some emperors in the former Tang Dynasty were outrageous, they were very skilled in governing the country, and they were very trustworthy by the people.
But it was not in the post-Tang period. The people in the post-Tang period basically wanted to strangle the emperor to death.
Another point is that the heirs chosen by the emperors in the later Tang Dynasty were worse than the other, and they often changed their minds. They were not as firm as the emperors in the former Tang Dynasty.
Historians have studied for a long time, and speculate that the reason for this situation is probably because Emperor Guanglie did not get the inheritance that only belonged to the royal family after he took over the country in an uprising.
This is the clues they found in the personal records of Emperor Zhenguan, Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Zhaowu, Emperor Xuanlong, Emperor Ningwu, Emperor Daxing, Emperor Yuanhui, Prince Yuanlie, and Emperor Minghua.
Specifically, all those who were registered as princes basically studied government affairs with the emperor.For example, Emperor Xuanwu was registered as the prince in his early years, and he listened to the ministers behind the scenes all the year round to discuss the affairs of Emperor Zhenguan.
Although the outrageous otaku Emperor Daxing was not close to Emperor Ningwu, there are still relevant records in the history books.
For example, in autumn and August, Shaoji, the governor of Xingdao, entered the Wanshou Palace to report on his duties, and the prince watched him from the side.
The prince here is the Daxing Emperor.
In addition to this, historians suspect that there must have been some kind of lost book that was passed down from generation to generation inside the imperial court of the Li Tang Empire.
Because in the former Tang Dynasty, every emperor mentioned a book called "Tang Xun".
For example, Emperor Xuanlong once said; "Tang Xun" handed down by family ancestors is wonderful.
Emperor Ningwu said: "The ancestors of Zhenguan passed down the teachings, and I dare not forget them for a moment."
Emperor Daxing said: "When I was young, if I didn't read the training, my father would blame me. Every time I stick it, the starry night will be restless."
Even Emperor Minghua was once recorded by historians like this; in the summer of six years, the emperor was startled at night, started to kill people again, and said indiscriminately, repeatedly saying, "Father, the boy has learned the training, don't punish him!" '.
Therefore, historians reasonably suspect that because of the loss of "Tang Xun", the quality of the emperors of the Li and Tang Empires plummeted.
After all, the Prince Yuan Lie, who was first registered by Emperor Yuan Hui, was actually known as a filial and virtuous prince in the history books.And Emperor Guanglie, the son of Prince Yuanlie, can be regarded as the master of ZTE.Calculated according to time, when Emperor Yuanhui was in power, "Tang Xun" was still there, and the prince Yuanlie whom Emperor Yuanhui chose at the beginning was actually a very good heir.Moreover, the son of this heir would also be a good heir.
But it is a pity that Emperor Yuanhui changed his mind.
Regarding why Emperor Yuanhui suddenly changed his mind, historians have given two explanations that are more widely recognized by the public.
First, Zheng Meiren, the biological mother of Emperor Minghua, was so fascinated by the elderly Emperor Yuanhui that she favored the youngest son Emperor Minghua even more.
Second, Prince Yuanlie is not like himself!
More historians are actually more inclined to the second possibility.Because looking at the emperors of the entire former Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that these emperors are more irritable and unreasonable than the other.Except for ordinary people who can point their noses and scold them, who else, especially the Fanbang people, dare to open their mouths and say a word, and if you don't dig out the eighteen generations of your ancestors, you will be lucky.
Just look at their year numbers and it's either a show of muscle or a show of muscle.
I won't say much about Xuanwu and Zhaowu.The seemingly peaceful reign name, Zhenguan, has its true meaning, but it comes from this sentence.
The way of heaven and earth is also for those who watch the world.
What does it mean, what the Emperor Zhenguan said is right, whatever is right, what the Emperor Zhenguan says is bad, then whatever is bad.If you are disobedient, then you do not conform to the way of heaven and earth, and you should not exist!
This is more terrifying than Zhao Wu.
In other words, this domineering and violent genetic memory was passed down from Emperor Zhenguan.
The emperors of all dynasties, such as the lying emperor Daxing, once got angry because overseas foreign countries only paid him a piece of "sacred land", and angrily ordered twelve giant ships to raze the small island.
As a result, he found out afterwards that the tribute to him of the holy land was meant to express his willingness to surrender.
However, Prince Yuanlie couldn't do it, because historians found that Prince Yuanlie recorded in history books was too gentle, and a low-level official could drive in front of the prince's special car.And Emperor Yuanhui even said; the prince is like a little girl!
Therefore, they suspected that because of Prince Yuanlie's too gentle personality, Emperor Yuanhui felt that although the prince was smart enough, he was not cruel enough to let him inherit the throne, otherwise he would be controlled by the ministers.
As for Emperor Minghua, he was really ruthless enough, and ended up playing badly.Some people even speculate that if Emperor Minghua had not died so early, I am afraid that the former Tang Dynasty would not have ended.
The powerful Tang Empire lasted for three years in 510.Its strength and prosperity are all in the more than 200 years of the former Tang Dynasty, and the more than 200 years of the post-Tang Dynasty. It is a process of the gradual disintegration of an empire, and the entire empire is being torn apart anytime and anywhere.
Enemies from all directions devour the flesh and blood of the huge empire all the time.
If it is said that Li Zhiyun would be pissed off when he saw the post-Tang Dynasty, then when the empire collapsed and the young people who overthrew the empire got off the helicopter and walked to his tombstone, Li Zhiyun probably laughed.
Because, this young man is called Li Jinyang.
"Raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think of your hometown." The handsome young man was in a windbreaker, with a Tang knife hanging from his waist, and his whole body was majestic and heroic.
"Young commander, we are rebelling. We can't stay here for too long with our ancestors. Raksha is still waiting for the young commander to take charge of the overall situation." Duan Chen said.
Li Jinyang nodded, then smiled again.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I remember happy things."
"What are you happy about?"
"There is an anecdote recorded in the ancestor's book. When the ancestor rebelled with Emperor Wude, he once said the two poems I just said in front of Duan Zhixuan."
"Eh?" Duan Chen was taken aback, "My ancestor?"
"Yes."
Li Jinyang is the seventh son of Emperor Zhenguan, a descendant of Longwang Li Chengxuan.
Now, the Tang Empire collapsed, and those descendants of Emperor Zhenguan's son who had been kicked out by the descendants of the old four family all came back.
There are still a few extra chapters in the back, and I will write to you when I recover.
