I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 314 Read the history of the Tang Dynasty in one breath

"In 860, Tang Yizong Li Min's arrogance and excessive banquets led to internal political corruption and people's suffering, causing the Tang Dynasty to lose the glory of the Xuanzong period.

In 873, Tang Yizong Li Miao passed away. Later, the eunuch Tian Lingzi and others supported his son Li Xuan as emperor, who was Yizong of Tang Dynasty.

In 875, Wang Xianzhi's uprising broke out, causing social unrest.

In 878, Huang Chao inherited Wang Xianzhi's will and became the leader of the rebel army.

By 880, Huang Chao's rebel army approached Chang'an, forcing the eunuch Tian Lingzi to flee to Sichuan with Tang Yizong.

In 882, Zhu Wen, who was stationed in Tongzhou, chose to surrender to the Tang army and was named Zhu Quanzhong by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty. However,

In 884, the rebel army was forced to withdraw from Chang'an under the counterattack of the Tang Dynasty official army, and Huang Chao also chose to commit suicide.

In 885, Tang Xizong returned to Chang'an. However, in 888, Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, passed away. In the same year, Li Ye, the younger brother of Xizong of Tang Dynasty, was proclaimed emperor by the eunuch Yang Fugong, namely Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty.

In 903, Zhu Wen's strength gradually grew and he became the overlord of the Central Plains. He eventually took control of the Tang Dynasty's political power and made Tang Zhaozong his puppet.

In 904, Zhu Wen killed Tang Zhaozong Li Ye, and in the same year he appointed Tang Zhaozong's ninth son, Li Tie, who was only 13 years old, to ascend the throne as Emperor Ai of Tang Dynasty.

In order to usurp the power of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen brutally killed about 905 ministers overnight in Baimayi, Huazhou in 30, and threw their bodies into the Yellow River on the spot. This is the "Baimayi Disaster" that shocked the world.

Finally, in 907, Zhu Wen forced Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tong, to give him the throne, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the country's name to Liang. Since then, the Tang Dynasty, which had existed for 289 years, was officially destroyed, and the whole of China officially entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. 》

People from all dynasties looked at the video on the sky screen, and their hearts were full of despair.

They thought of the poem again: "When things prosper, the people suffer; when they perish, the people suffer."

They, the common people, cannot control the rise and fall of dynasties and can only follow the tide.

But the rise and fall of the dynasty is related to their lives.

When the dynasty is prosperous, they can also take advantage of it and make their lives better.

When the dynasty declined, they faced not only excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also natural and man-made disasters.

Especially man-made disasters can destroy a place.

There was nothing they could do to stop them, so they had no choice but to flee into a deserted place to take shelter.

Scholars from all dynasties looked at the video on the sky screen, and they felt very sad.

Although they are scholars, they also faced war in the war years.

There is a saying that goes very well, "When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain his reasoning clearly."

It was not the case when they were in war.

They prefer a stable society, and only then will they be respected, pass the imperial examination, and become officials that everyone envies.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang looked at the video on the sky screen, and his heart was extremely sad.

This kind of sadness is not because the extremely powerful Tang Dynasty ushered in the end, but because every dynasty ended in war.

He once unified six countries and understood that only war can usher in peace.

But at the end of each dynasty, the emperor's arrogance and extravagance really made him sad.

From the first dynasty of China to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the demise of any dynasty was not caused by such an emperor.

In the late dynasty, peasant uprisings continued due to constant oppression and natural disasters. What made Qin Shihuang heartbroken was that the Qin Dynasty did not escape this rule.

And compared to the Tang Dynasty broadcast on the sky screen, the Qin Dynasty exploded even more intensively.

After all, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were too long, and the country's continuous growth had caused the whole of China to be fragmented, and there was not enough sense of identity.

Although the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries and unified China again.

Even in order to integrate the Chinese people, he even wrote and wrote in the same track, but after all, the time was still too short, laying the foundation for the Qin Dynasty.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, watched the video on the sky screen and was furious as he watched a powerful dynasty come to an end.

Although Li Shimin was the only one in the Tang Dynasty whom he admired, the power of this dynasty still inspired Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Isn't it possible that the big man he wants is not like this?

Let the Xiongnu and the three or six countries in the Western Regions also respect the Han.

That's why he stopped the Han and the Xiongnu from continuing to make peace. The results of the marriages made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che know that this exchange for peace would only make the Huns think that the Han was weak and could be bullied.

He ordered Huo Qubing and Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu. Although they were also effective, they were far from Li Shimin's achievements.

This is not because the Han Dynasty is weaker than the Tang Dynasty, but because the technological development of the Han Dynasty does not follow that of the Tang Dynasty.

The supplies needed to attack the Huns emptied the Han treasury.

It was not until the emergence of Tianmu that the Han Dynasty ushered in a leapfrog development, giving Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the confidence to complete such a great undertaking.

It's just that the new year is approaching and the weather is freezing.

Although good news came from the Western Regions from time to time, it still made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che very worried. He was also very afraid that his beloved general Huo Qubing would die young as the sky said.

After thinking about it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wrote a secret edict and sent people to the Western Regions quickly.

Three Kingdoms period.

When Cao Cao watched the video on the sky screen, he felt even more angry.

When other dynasties fell, at least they still had the dictatorship of eunuchs, the emperor was arrogant and extravagant, and the ministers were corrupt.

How come when he arrived in Wei State, he was directly stolen by Sima Yi.

You must know that he did not know how hard he worked for this country, and even many of his beloved generals died on the battlefield.

Not only did this turn his life's hard work into someone else's wedding dress, but so did the generals and counselors who followed him.

Such a result was really difficult for him to accept.

Since Tianmu appeared, he knew what Sima Yi had done and even directly eradicated him and his forces.

But without Sima Yi, wouldn't there be someone else?

After all, China has never lacked careerists since ancient times, let alone those who want to sit on the throne.

All he can do is to make Wei more powerful, make the Cao family stronger, so that those ambitious people can only be loyal to his Cao family, and prevent Wei from going back to the old path.

Moreover, since the emergence of Tianmu, Cao Cao has seen the vastness of the world, how can he rest assured that he can only unify China.

He also wanted to open up more territories, so that the barbarian territories could also become Chinese territories since ancient times.

When Liu Bei saw the video on the marquee, he originally thought it was extremely distasteful for Liu Chan to be An Le Gong, but suddenly he felt that Liu Chan was okay.

Especially these emperors in the late Tang Dynasty, they were not even one ten thousandth as good as Liu Chan in his family.

If the Shu Kingdom had such an emperor, I am afraid that after his death he would be attacked by the generals of the Wei Kingdom. Then there is a man like Zhuge Liang, who is both plain and smart and almost a monster, and I am afraid that he will not be able to resist.

So he called Liu Chan and began to teach him well, hoping that after his death, he would become even better.

I also hope that he can defend the territory of Shu by then and keep the blood of his Liu family alive forever.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at the video of the marquee and burst into laughter.

He did not expect that the dynasty established by Li Yuan, who stole his kingdom, would end like this. In Yang Guang's view, this is a very happy thing.

As for the incomparable stupidity of the emperor in the late dynasty, corruption among officials was common, and even the eunuchs were able to rule as eunuchs, this seemed to Yang Guang to be normal.

If this hadn't happened, how could a dynasty die so easily?

As for the people's uprising, in Yang Guang's view, this was simply overestimating their capabilities.

Those are just ignorant people, how could they overthrow the imperial court?

Li Yuan looked at Yang Guang who was laughing loudly, and he felt Yang Guang's ridicule towards him.

But now he was only a minister of the Sui Dynasty, not the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty.

He could only endure Yang Guang's ridicule, and secretly made a decision in his heart. When the time is right, he must overthrow the Sui Dynasty.

After all, if he did not overthrow the Sui Dynasty, the Li family would always be suppressed by the court.

By that time, not to mention him, the Duke of Tang, even members of his Li family would be in danger of losing their lives.

Li Shimin, who was standing next to Li Yuan, was not watching the video of Heaven.

He is still struggling in his heart about how to explain to his childhood sweetheart, the eldest son, when he goes back.

He had sworn to his childhood sweetheart a long time ago that he would marry her when he grew up.

But now His Majesty's marriage grant completely disrupted his plan, and Li Shimin didn't know how to tell her.

After thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and decided to tell the truth.

After all, His Majesty's marriage gift cannot be hidden. If he doesn't tell the truth, his childhood sweetheart will eventually stay away from him.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the video on the sky screen, and he felt very complicated.

The Anshi Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty turned the entire Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, which made him mentally prepared.

But seeing that the dynasty he established was really going to perish, Li Shimin still hoped that it was all fake.

After all, he is the Khan of Heaven and the monarch of the world. He has devoted countless blood and sweat to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

But when the Tang Dynasty truly perished, he was powerless and unable to stop it.

After all, from the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to the demise of the Tang Dynasty, it took nearly three hundred years of history.

Even if he takes these measures now, they will eventually be wasted by future generations.

He now wanted to beat the prince Li Chengqian again, but thinking about the crying Li Chengqian just now, he softened his heart.

Although I don't know why Li Chengqian failed to inherit his throne, it is already miserable enough, so how can I beat him to vent again.

Moreover, Li Chengqian was his and Empress Changsun's son, so he couldn't deal with him even if he beat him too much. After all, he was his beloved Empress Changsun.

Cheng Yaojin watched the video on the marquee and felt a pity secretly in his heart when he saw that Li Shimin didn't think of beating Li Chengqian.

Originally, he wanted to strike secretly and punch Li Chengqian a few times to vent his anger, but to his surprise, Li Shimin made no move.

Other civil and military ministers were like Cheng Yaojin, but they were ministers after all, so they could only act secretly.

Like Li Shimin, he can't beat Li Chengqian at will to get rid of the anger in his heart.

Li Chengqian saw on the sky that the Tang Dynasty founded by his father had perished, and he hurried to the palace of Queen Changchun to seek refuge.

The descendant Li Longji was beaten severely when he allowed the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline when he was old. If he saw the demise of the Tang Dynasty on the sky, he would probably be beaten even more severely.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that his throne could only be his own from now on.

Only in this way can I be worthy of this beating! Only then can the history of the Tang Dynasty be changed.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the video on the sky screen, and he also recalled the past.

The era he was born in was such a chaotic era.

In that era, people were so insignificant that even the emperor could die on the street the next day.

It wasn't until Guo Rong established the Later Zhou Dynasty that the whole of China slowly regained order, making people no longer feel like a piece of grass.

Later, he joined the Yellow Robe and established the Song Dynasty, which opened a new era and reunited most of the old lands in China.

It was precisely because of the constant wars during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that he made a national policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs.

It’s just that he overestimated himself and his descendants.

He did not expect that so many emperors of the Song Dynasty could not recover the 16 states of Yanyun.

Even because of the national policies he formulated, the Song Dynasty's army became weaker and weaker, so much so that the entire Song Dynasty was in a state of sending "year-old coins" to pray for peace.

Since future generations can't count on him, he will be responsible for all this.

He wanted to change the Song Dynasty in the future so that the Song Dynasty would not be called the "Great Sending" by future generations in the sky.

Zhao Zhen looked at the video on the sky screen, and his heart was very heavy.

Everything that happened in the last years of the Tang Dynasty not only happened in the Tang Dynasty, but also happened in every dynasty.

This is true whether it is the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty in the history books, or the Han Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty in the sky.

This is not a law of history, but a consequence of human nature.

All he could do was to continue reforming and making new policies extend the life of the Song Dynasty and even open up a new era.

But how can it be so easy to open up a new era? It requires the efforts of generations.

It wasn't until the big explosion mentioned in the sky that there was any possibility of changing the historical laws of the dynasty.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen was glad that a canopy appeared in the sky, otherwise he would have given up on the Qingli New Deal and would not have attacked Xixia and regained the Hexi Corridor.

And if the Song Dynasty did not have the Hexi Corridor, there would be no place to raise horses, and there would be no way to fight the Liao Kingdom.

As for recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, it is just more impossible.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the video on the sky screen, and he remembered the late Ming Dynasty on the sky screen. The emperor at that time was not like this.

The eunuchs were dictatorial, officials were corrupt, and the emperor ignored government affairs.

As a result, no one manages natural disasters. Even if someone writes a letter, they are just trying to make money from it.

Even with the exception of Zhu Youjian, there was nothing he could do in the end.

However, that's all. What saddened Zhu Yuanzhang the most was the people at that time.

After all, he was born as a beggar, so how could he not know how difficult it was for people to survive at that time.

Otherwise, the capital of the Ming Dynasty would not have been attacked by those peasant rebels, which eventually led to Zhu Youjian being hanged in Meishan, and the slaves from the north taking over the Central Plains.

But now all this has not happened, and his Ming Dynasty has discovered the New World, and I believe everything will change. (End of chapter)
