Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 10 Wu Zhou Tianshu, Empress Wu Zetian
In the fourth year of Renshou, AD [-].

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was seriously ill, and Liu Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others took care of him.

Yang Guang was worried about Emperor Wen's health and feared that the court would be in chaos, so he wrote to Yang Su to ask him.

The two of them never thought that the letter would be passed to Emperor Wen by mistake by the court lady.

After Emperor Wen saw the content of the letter, he was very angry.

It also happened that Mrs. Chen's clothes were disheveled. When asked why, it was also related to Prince Yang Guang.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian Longyan was furious, and wanted to abolish the prince and help Yang Yong take the throne.

Known by Yang Guang, Liu Shuyuanyan and others who went to spread the message were imprisoned in Dali Prison.

In July of the same year, Yang Guang succeeded to the throne.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, and all civil and military officials came to congratulate him.

In front of Renshou Palace, looking at the officials, Yang Guang said:

"Today, the widow is enthroned, the world is co-lord, and all the ministers of the court and China are present, I am very happy.

but!

I heard that during this period of time, all birds sing together and all beasts kneel down, but the lion does not respond. Why? "

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

Qiu Rui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stepped forward, "The old minister thinks that it is a crime for this beast to have no spirituality and not know about His Majesty's enthronement ceremony."

"Well said, Minister of the Ministry of War, how about I send you to the forest to catch a lion and come back?"

Hearing this, Qiu Rui showed embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the old minister is getting old, it's better to leave such matters to the generals..."

What a joke.

What is a lion?
The ferocious jungle beast is huge and extremely lethal. How can it be subdued by a mortal like him.

If you really want to go, the appointment will become your ration.

"Hmph! What a waste."

Yang Guang turned his gaze, looked at Yuwen Chengdu, and said: "Yuwen Chengdu, I heard that your martial arts are world-class, and there are few people in the world who can match you, so how about entrusting you with the task of catching the beast?" ?”

Yu Wencheng stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to go, if I make a move, there will be no life, and Your Majesty doesn't want me to bring a dead beast back.

The minister felt that it was most appropriate to hand over this matter to the backer king. "

Yang Lin: "..."

"Bastard, none of my thousands of warriors dared to go there?"

Emperor Sui Yang was furious.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk is willing to go."

At this moment, a monk stepped forward and volunteered.

"Okay! Master, if you really bring that beast back to me, I will build more temples in the future, and the incense will continue to burn."

Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang promised.

He wanted to deal with the ministers who didn't dare to go, but suddenly, the video of counting the top ten meritorious emperors continued to play.

Had to stop.

"Isn't it time to announce the next meritorious emperor?"

Yang Guang murmured to himself: "If I can be on the list when I ascend the throne today, it will be double happiness. I hope I won't be disappointed."

At this time, people from other dynasties also began to watch the video immediately.

After all, the sharing video released by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che yesterday was so exciting, how could they not care about it.

…………

People from different parallel dynasties just clicked on the video, and it was a very familiar picture:

【Unpredictable magical powers, transporting yin and yang, containing myriad universes, and pregnant with eight wastes. 】

[Since the celestial talisman comes out, the Emperor Yechang is willing to worship in the Ming Dynasty and descend to Zhenxiang. 】

The four lines of verses are powerful and have the style of Wei Wu.

Then, in the video, the music with the atmosphere of fighting slowly sounded.

Like the sound of war, it shocked everyone.

It is also like the sorrow of the people, which is deeply felt.

Along with the playback of the video screen and the rendering of the background music, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

What is different from before is that in this scene, there is actually a female emperor wearing a dragon robe.

Her phoenix eyes are full of power, and she looks at all the officials with indescribable majesty and domineering.

Then, a large paragraph appeared in the video.

[One of the top ten meritorious emperors, Empress Wu Zetian. 】

【Reason for listing】

[Cracking down on powerful clans and supporting common people, after Wu Zetian was established as empress, he expelled the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others who opposed her as empress from the imperial court. At that time, the dependents of the Guanlong Group had become a conservative force with vested interests. Driving them out of the political arena marked the end of the Guanlong Group's rule of more than a century since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and also created a new era for social progress and economic development. good conditions. 】

[Rectify the administration of officials, severely punish corrupt officials, and promote talents. Wu Zetian inherited the policy of rectifying the administration of officials and severely punishing corruption during the Zhenguan period. Officials who were corrupt and violated the law were severely punished regardless of their official positions. He should be rewarded and punished, he should be punished, he is discerning and judgmental, and he has the ability to know others. 】

[Open up your voice and pay attention to accepting advice. Although Wu Zetian has strict government orders and severe punishments, she respects subjects who are outspoken and dare to advise, and tries to adopt their suggestions. During her reign, few people were convicted for direct advice, so Being outspoken and daring to remonstrate has become a common practice in the court, so that the lower feelings can be expressed, which has played a great role in reforming bad governance and promoting political clarity. 】

【Emphasis on the development of agriculture, light corvee and light taxation, and rest with the people. When Wu Zetian was called the "Queen of Heaven", she suggested in the Twelve Suggestions that "persuading farmers to mulberry and light taxation and labor" was recommended. In order to implement the imperial edict, the imperial court stipulated the assessment of local officials , with the development of agricultural production as an important criterion, if the area where the state and county officials are located "opens up the fields and has surplus food for the family", they will be rewarded; 】

[As an emperor who has experienced folk life, Wu Zetian also paid more attention to the construction of farmland and water conservancy. During her reign, she investigated illegal land occupation, searched for hidden households, and built water conservancy. ".During her administration, the number of households increased from 380 million to 610 million. 】

[In terms of military affairs, due to Wu Zetian proclaiming emperor (during the Wu Zhou period) and the local small wars with neighboring countries, there were ups and downs, with Wu Zhou winning most of the time. The vastness of the country, the strength of the country. 】

[Wu Zetian used both villains and gentlemen during her reign. The villains helped her seize power, and the gentlemen helped her govern the country. 】

[Wu Zetian also established the palace examination and martial arts examination, and ordered civil officials above nine ranks and hundred-year self-examination. She selected a group of outstanding talents through imperial examination, self-examination and other people's recommendation, and became the mainstay of the Wu Zhou regime, such as Di Renjie, Yao Chong and Song Jing later became virtuous ministers in the Kaiyuan period, and Lu, the prime minister in the mid-Tang Dynasty, praised Wu Zetian for being good at employing people and clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments. 】

[Although she made the political upper class turbulent for a while, the social economy still maintained a stable development, so that she only encountered some short-term resistance when she realized the unprecedented changes in the feudal history in 2000. 】

[Generally speaking, her rule "inherited the rule of Zhenguan, followed by the prosperity of Kaiyuan", and she was a very great empress in the history of China. 】

[Outstanding meritorious service, he deserves to be on the list. 】

…………

Another parallel dynasty.

"This third emperor who appeared on the stage is not me?"

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian had a bitter face.

Seeing that I still didn't make the list in the video inventory, I can't help but feel a little depressed.

The Ming Dynasty at this time has long since lost the prosperity of the Ming Taizu period.

During Zhu Youjian's reign, peasant uprisings broke out in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the Houjin regime outside the customs was eyeing.

Chuangwang Li Zicheng poses the greatest threat.

His rebel army grew year by year, causing great harm to the Ming court.

The entire Ming Dynasty was precarious, already in a situation of internal and external troubles.

The suffering of the people intensified.

Repeated wars have caused countless people to suffer. They eat tree bark and grass roots.

Countless people starved to death.

At this time, Zhu Youjian is in urgent need of a reward for the inventory list.

Seeing the changes in the big man, he was envious.

If he can be on the list, can Daming's difficulties be resolved?
Zhu Youjian is full of confidence: "If I can make the list, it will definitely make Daming better, and it is not impossible to return to the top.

It is not difficult to reappear the prosperous age of Yongle!
It's a pity, hey, I don't know if I still have a chance.

Li Zicheng stared at him fiercely, and Daming was at the point of life and death. "

…………

At this time, ordinary people in other dynasties were already arguing because of Wu Zetian's listing.

Some people think that Wu Zetian is a very great empress, and some people think that Wu Zetian is not worthy of the list.

Especially in later generations, this phenomenon is more prominent.

"What qualifications does Wu Zetian have to be on the list? Extra points for the queen? I don't accept it."

"What are you dissatisfied with? Let Wu Zhou Tianshu know about it? From my point of view, it is only natural for Wu Zetian to be on the list."

"This……"

There was a lot of discussion for a while, but there was no reason to argue.
