Chapter 40 Finally Lived Like I Hate
[In the 15th year of Tang Zhenguan, because the Tang Dynasty placed the exterminated Eastern Turkic tribes in the Monan area, Xue Yantuo was not happy, so he led an army to attack the Eastern Turkic tribes, but was defeated by the Tang army.

In the 19th year of Tang Zhenguan, Xue Yantuo Domi Khan took advantage of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's eastward expedition to Goguryeo and led his army to attack Shuofang County in Henan Province. However, the Tang Dynasty army was well prepared and defeated Xue Yantuo. Huihe people killed.

The people of Xueyantuo set up another Khan. Tang Taizong Li Shimin worried that a comeback would be a serious disaster in the future, so he ordered Li Ji to conquer Xueyantuo, directly destroy Xueyantuo, and set Yanran as the guardian of Shanyutai to rule the Xueyantuo area.

From then on, both the north and the south of the desert belonged to the Tang Dynasty! 】

"Domineering!"

"For the disobedient little brother, you should do this!"

"Hahaha! The future of my Tang Dynasty is promising, the future is promising!!"

In Li Shimin's world, countless people rejoiced and were full of confidence in the future of Li Shimin, the emperor and Tang Dynasty. At least during the period of Li Shimin's rule, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by foreigners.

[Military strength is only one aspect. To comprehensively evaluate an emperor and a country, one needs to comprehensively consider politics, economy, and culture. 】

[Political aspects: Tang Taizong Li Shimin showed a different vision from other emperors early on in the appointment of talents. He knows people well and uses them on their merits, and he doesn't care whether the talents are born poor or rich. 】

[Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Li Ji, etc., they are all loyal, upright, clean and poor people, and they are all famous officials and generals of a generation.There are also 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, they are all the top talents in Datang. 】

Being able to be singled out by Su Qian to praise them shows their talents and their weight in the imperial court.

"Lingyan Pavilion 24 Heroes? This is a good idea!" Liu Bang felt that he had learned something again.

[During the Sui Dynasty, it was common for the children of aristocratic families to flood the officialdom. Later, under the reforms of the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty, the system of selecting talents based on the examination system was gradually replaced by a fairer imperial examination system.

The implementation of the imperial examination system provided a new way for many people with low status and poor families to get rid of their hardships. The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, which followed and optimized the imperial examination system, also injected new blood and vitality into the official circles of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Economy: Tang Taizong Li Shimin attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry, and regarded agriculture as the primary industry, which is the foundation and foundation of the economy. The greater development of agriculture has also played a role in promoting economic development.In particular, the implementation of the land equalization system and rent-yong adjustment not only reduced the burden on farmers, but also enabled farmers to feel at ease in agricultural production, reduced displaced persons, and stabilized society. 】

In feudal society, the hierarchy was very strict, and the distinction between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was particularly clear.But during the Zhenguan period, all this seemed to have been downplayed.

Chang'an City has also formed a bustling commercial street, and the development of the grass market and night market has provided growth space for the development of commerce.

Agriculture and commerce have developed, so how can society be stable and prosperous? 】

[Cultural aspects: The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have also developed well during the Zhenguan period. The three religions have not only stabilized the hearts of the people and stabilized the society, but also promoted cultural exchanges and integration.With the growing strength of the Tang Dynasty and its open and inclusive attitude towards the world, many foreign friendly countries also sent teams to the Tang Dynasty to exchange knowledge and learn from each other, which also laid the foundation for the formation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. 】

[All the achievements of Li Shimin during his reign, whether in politics, economy, culture, etc., the more subtle system construction, and the emperor's self-cultivation, were carried on and learned by later emperors. 】

[Before Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, the goal of the emperors was Qin Shihuang, but after the Tang Dynasty, the emperor had Li Shimin as an example. 】

Qin Shihuang won the government and was silent.

Liu Bang, Liu Che, and Liu Xiu were also shocked and a little speechless.

The great achievements that I thought were unprecedented and unprecedented, suddenly seemed to have become bleak.

"This Li Shimin is too scary!"

"When he said that he was going to be the emperor of the ages, I seemed to have laughed at him, right? Suddenly I feel a little ashamed."

"I have 20 more years of life, and I must create a great Han Dynasty that will not lose to the Tang Dynasty!"

Although Li Shimin has great ambitions, he never thought that he could really achieve this kind of "perfect" state.
"Huh! It seems that the historical Zhen is doing pretty well!"

"But since history is a lesson, I can naturally do better!"

"Goguryeo, right? With Xuanye's mighty invincible general cannon and Zhu Di's battleship, I will wipe you from this world and avenge my hatred!"

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin is undoubtedly one of the closest perfect emperors in history except Liu Xiu. 】

[But still the same sentence, no one is perfect, even Liu Xiu and Li Shimin, they all have their own flaws that cannot be ignored. 】

[Next, let's take a look at the faults of Tian Khan and Tang Taizong Li Shimin. 】

[First: Li Shimin's biggest problem is that he was not in the right position. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, he really launched the Xuanwu Gate Change and killed his elder brother and younger brother.

After ascension to the throne, in order to eliminate the negative impact of the Xuanwu Gate Change, Li Shimin forced historians to read "Liuju Zhu" and "Records" many times, breaking the precedent that the emperors of all dynasties could not read.It also opened a precedent for the emperor to revise history books. 】

Li Shimin watched the incident of Xuanwumen being brought out repeatedly to flog the corpse, and he also realized that this would be a stain on his life and even his "famous name". But he couldn't do anything about it, after all, it had already happened .

[Second: The change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, and then forced his father to abdicate, and became the emperor himself. 】

[Third: In vain care of human relations, Li Shimin occupied his younger sister-in-law Qi Wangfei Yang, and refused to give her a legal status because of face problems, setting a very bad example for future generations. 】

[Fourth: Unjustly killing courtiers without review, Zhang Liang, Li Junxian and others are all victims. 】

Seeing this, Zhang Liang and Li Junxian, who were named, looked all the same.

Duke Xun Zhang Liang is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!Li Junxian is also one of Li Shimin's most trusted people at present, and they were actually murdered by Li Shimin?

"What the hell happened? His Majesty would actually attack the two of them?!"

"Zhang Liang seems to have been a little drifting recently. It seems that he will kill himself in the future."

"What about Li Junxian? He is loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty trusts him so much that he even entrusted Xuanwu Gate to guard him."

"I don't know, maybe something happened?"

Everyone was discussing and secretly guessing why Li Shimin killed them.

[Fifth: In his later years, he was obsessed with Taoism, pursued immortality, and was extravagant, building palaces and pavilions wantonly, wasting money and wasting money.

After Li Shimin got old, he followed the example of Qin Shihuang and began to trust alchemists and Taoists, seeking the elixir of immortality.

When he was young, he laughed at Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi for using pills, but he didn't expect that when it was his turn to get old, he would become like them.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, suffered from a toxic attack because of taking the elixir refined by alchemists, and finally died at the age of 50. 】

"Zhen, only lived to be 50 years old?!!!" Li Shimin's eyes widened, unable to accept the fact that he only lived to be 50 years old.

"Did you die from poisoning after taking the pill?" Qin Shihuang's face changed drastically, and he suddenly felt that all the alchemists around him had turned into devils!

"Damn! A few days ago there were alchemists who offered me pills, but luckily I didn't have time to eat them!" Liu Che was startled, and then said to himself through gritted teeth: "It turns out that they are all liars! Cut off their heads!"
