Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Li Qing stated at the court meeting that the north of the Yangtze River has been in a state of dispersion since the previous Song-Jin War, but this shameful state will soon cease to exist! The Song Dynasty is a great country! The Song Dynasty has the ability and responsibility to return to the north of the Yangtze River and lead her people to victory!

After re-arming north of the Yangtze River, Li Qing set his sights on Bianliang.

Bianliang is the capital of the Song Dynasty. No matter what, we cannot let her fall into the hands of the Jin people!

Since the Jin people took control of the Central Plains, their decay rate was faster than an avalanche. Not to mention the sharp decline in the army's combat effectiveness, the monarchs and ministers were also greedy for pleasure. Wanyan Dan's support only lasted for a moment. After Wanyan Zongbi defeated Yue Fei all the way, he had long since lost his so-called ambition.

The so-called peace negotiation was actually a helpless move by the Jin people after they could no longer hold on.

Opening his mouth to the lion of the Song Dynasty is nothing more than grasping the weakness of the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, as well as the reactionary psychology of the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty, which was making rapid progress all the way, was actually deceived. Not only did it fully accept the excessive demands, it even planned to kill Yue Fei.

This is really...

However, the good times did not last long. As the saying goes, the champagne was opened at half time. The kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom were stunned to have staged a miracle in Istanbul a thousand years ago.

The Song war machine at full power was undoubtedly terrifying, and the Jin people were certainly frightened. They were afraid of losing their life in this colorful world, and they also knew that they were no match for the Song Dynasty. Since we can't fight, let's negotiate peace.

If you don't cede the land, then I will. I'll do it, right?

As the saying goes, if the mountains don't come, Muhammad will go, and Muhammad will go to the mountains. How can a living person be choked to death by urinating? God can't starve a blind bird to death, right?

After the second Bianliang arbitration, the Jin Kingdom agreed to withdraw from Bianliang and return the capital of the Song Dynasty to them.

What the Jin people never expected was that after withdrawing from the south of the Yellow River, the Song Dynasty continued non-stop and turned its attention to the northwest.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty's sword began to carve out the fate of Xixia.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty claimed that the country Xixia itself was a created concept, and that its existence in the world was a mistake. We must intervene and help them restore order. There is only one question left - how to achieve the best result?

Wanyan Dan was still imagining that the Song Dynasty would stop at annexing Xixia. During the peace talks in Bianliang, Li Qing also promised this to Wanyan Quan's envoy Zhang Rui (alias Bolun).

When Zhang Rui returned to Huining Mansion, he waved the agreement signed by the Bianliang Peace Conference and said to Wanyan Quan: "I have brought peace for a generation!"

The Song army annexed Xixia almost at the speed of light. Then, under the horrified eyes of the Jin people, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty reiterated his northern territorial claims.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been part of the great China since ancient times. Yanyun is now a part of the great China, and Yanyun will also be a part of the great China in the future! If the Jin Kingdom is unwilling to hand over this territory, then we must prepare China to face the inevitable war! The sixteen states of Yanyun will definitely return to the hands of the Song Dynasty!

Either hand over the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures or prepare for war!

However, the Kingdom of Jin certainly would not sit still and wait for death. The south of the Yellow River was their limit. Now the Song Dynasty turned its knife to the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, which can be said to be digging their foundation.

The Jin people were not stupid. Of course they knew that "giving land to bribe Qin is like putting out fire with firewood. The fire will not be extinguished until the firewood is exhausted." At the same time, Wanyan Quan's appeasement policy failed.

Therefore, the Jin State rejected the Song ultimatum.

On June 1, the twelfth year of Shaoxing, it was Sunday morning (*Note ). The students of Taixue University of the Song Dynasty had just held a deer singing banquet yesterday, and everything was quiet. The students of Taixue will usher in a new day, the young people of Lin'an go to Su Causeway as usual, the people of Diaoyu City come to the banks of the Jialing River, and the Western Region is still in the dark. At Yin o'clock in the morning, the sun rose in Lin'an. A quarter of an hour later, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty galloped northward against the rising sun - the great unification war of the Song Dynasty began!

The Song Dynasty's army was overwhelming, and in less than three months, it completely recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Subsequently, the eastern, western and central armies gathered together to launch the final general attack on Jin Kingdom's Shangjing.

On November 20th, Shangjing officially fell.

The latest news from Shangjing has confirmed that the city has been completely controlled by the Song Dynasty. Much of the city was in ruins, including the royal palace. Now the original palace has become the military and administrative headquarters of the Song Dynasty's occupying army.

The literati from the Song Dynasty saw a grand victory parade. A seemingly endless team of soldiers from the Song Dynasty continued to advance in the city. The Jin people watching along the street remained silent.

With the official fall of Shangjing, the simulation screen also ended.

It will not be broadcast later, and if it is broadcast again, it will not be reviewed.

"Really...is there such a way to play?" Li Shimin couldn't help but doubt life. He thought that he was one of the best among men, but compared with Xiandi's method...it was simply...

No wonder they are immortals.

"This is an unimagined path." Li Qing laughed and said: "Facts have proved that nationalism is extremely advanced in feudal society. I have nine ways to make the Song Dynasty strong, nine ways!"

Yes, three on the left, one in the middle, and five on the right.

After the simulation ended, because it was getting late, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.

That night, Li Xiuning and Shangguan Wan'er fulfilled their promise to Li Qing.

That's right, we must do what we promised.

Li Qing is really in high spirits during happy events, and his steps have been swaying for several days.

The New Year was spent in Datang, where everyone gathered together and had a great time.

The radio recently produced by Datang is very popular and the price is not very expensive, only fifteen silver dollars per set. If workers and farmers buy by ticket, there will be subsidies, which translates into four or five silver dollars.

The farmers in Datang now are different from before. They are basically all farmers, large and small, and very wealthy. If we look at it according to the definition of modern division, he is also a small landowner at the end.

Radios were sold so cheaply, firstly, for the purpose of preaching to the king, secondly, for delivering various messages in a timely manner, and thirdly, for some entertainment.

After dinner on New Year's Eve, every household gathered together. Those who had radios gathered in front of them, and those who did not have radios ran to the homes of those who had radios to listen to the "Datang Spring Festival Gala" together.

The Tang Dynasty Spring Festival Gala has only one theme, which is the New Year. It only aims to be happy and joyful, and does not talk about preaching. During the two-hour program, there were songs, cross talk, and sketches. It was the first time for the people of Tang Dynasty to see such novel things. It was very refreshing. Even in the replays of the second and third days, more than half of the people were watching. Go listen.

After the New Year, going to the late Tang Dynasty was also on the agenda.

Except for Lao Zhu and Liu Bang who wanted to meet the soaring general Huang Chao, others had little interest in him. But Li Shimin had to follow him. After all, he was Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It would be wrong if he didn't go.

……

December 5, the first year of Guangming, Chang'an City.

When the officials had just retreated from the court, they heard rumors that Boye's rebels had entered the city. After hearing this rumor, all the officials fled in shock. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan, was escorted by Tian Lingzi's Shence Army and fled to Xianyang in embarrassment. Only the four kings Fu, Mu, Tan, and Shou and one or two concubines accompanied him, and the eunuch Ximen Kuangfan Tong Youjun reared. Most of the civil and military officials, kings, and concubines did not know the whereabouts of the emperor.

run? Of course you have to run. Huang Chao was different from others. The civil and military officials and the emperor certainly knew of Huang Chao's illustrious reputation.

Of course they knew that wherever Huang Chao went, he "burned markets and killed people all over the streets. He especially hated officials and killed them all." Every time he conquered a city before, he always killed aristocratic families and clans in this way. Zheng Qiao, a historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, said that in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, official elections and marriages were based on family origins. At that time, every family had hidden things like genealogy. , but since the Huangchao Rebellion, "no one asked about family background when selecting scholars, and no question about family background when getting married", because "his books have been scattered and lost, and his knowledge has not been passed down".

As Huang Chao was a failed candidate, a noble family in the Tang Dynasty said, "You want to surpass our family's thousands of years of hard work in ten years of poverty?" Lao Huang felt that what the family said was right, so he put down the book and picked up the knife.

Since you can't understand the words, you must be able to understand another good brother.

Du Fu could not have imagined that just a hundred years after the "rich families smelled of wine and meat", there would be "the streets of heaven trample all the bones of public ministers".

In a sense, Huang Chao prevented the emergence of the Chinese version of the "caste system."

In fact, many people don't realize one thing: why in thousands of years of feudal society, this kind of uprising of "princes and generals are in harmony with each other", except for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, no uprising has ever been oriented to a positive meaning? In particular, Huang Chao is the most popular. From private salt dealers to human flesh grinders, there are many comments about all kinds of butchers and cannibal demons.

Because the positions are different, the opinions of evaluating a historical figure will be very different. For example, Zeng Guofan was said to be a perfect man in the Qing Dynasty, but during the Republic of China he was a traitor, a dog slave, and an executioner.

Of course, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were different. After all, the country man behind them was so broad-minded.

Before the Song Dynasty, the political ecology of this land was completely monopolized by the powerful gentry. You can say that there was an imperial examination, but in the Tang Dynasty the imperial examination was basically monopolized by aristocratic families.

Many martial arts fans shamelessly attribute the credit to Wu Zetian for cracking down on the clan, which is actually the most ridiculous thing in the world. Wu Zetian's attack on the powerful family members was just for fun. The real shuffle depends on Huang Chao.

Aristocratic families may not be able to influence the imperial power, but aristocratic families can certainly influence the life and death of ordinary people and seal their path to advancement.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the inheritance of Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty began to be mainly based on family inheritance. However, doctors in the imperial court were based on their family studies, and some schools of thought almost completely became private studies. These families passed down Confucian classics from generation to generation, using Confucian classics to lead to official careers, and then expanded the family's property, forming a trinity of scholars, bureaucrats and landlords, and the cycle continued.

Like the well-known Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two brothers have to show off their "Four Generations and Three Dukes" background wherever they go. The Yuan family in Runan became a famous family by studying "Yi", and the Yang family in Hongnong became a prominent family by studying "Shangshu". From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the political structure was still clan politics. Even with the imperial examination, it would be difficult to shake the political ecology of "there are no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class".

Some people think that the imperial examination dug the foundation of aristocratic families, but this is not the case. This is completely taken for granted. As people say, you have spent a few years in poverty and you want to compare with the inheritance of several generations of my family? What's more, the aristocratic family is not just a few generations, but dozens of generations and hundreds of years of inheritance. Want to surpass others? Isn't that like a dream?

The Fanyang Lu family is one of the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes". In the ninety-two years from the first year of Xingyuan (784) to the second year of Qianfu (875) in the Tang Dynasty, 116 Fanyang Lu family passed the Jinshi examination. People, subjects other than Jinshi subjects are not included.

There are seven families as famous as Lu's. They are "Taiyuan Wang Family", "Zhaojun Li Family", "Boling Cui Family", "Qinghe Cui Family", "Xingyang Zheng Family" and "Longxi Li Family". The Lu family alone has accounted for 116 Jinshi students in the past ninety years (the course has not been open for two years). What about other families?

Of course, you have to sympathize with the aristocratic family... After reading a history book for two days, you won’t really start to imagine that you are a aristocratic family, right?

Of course, Huang Chao doesn't have the habit of obscenity. He believes in doing whatever you don't accept. There is no such thing as sharing the world with aristocratic families, and I will de-urbanize it for you.

Of course, the consequences of doing this are also obvious. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to modern times, Huang Chao's evaluation was not very good.

The reason is simple: ordinary people are not human beings and have no right to speak. What is really human and those who have a mouth are the reactionary forces such as the ruling class.

Look at those who clean up the common people and do not commit any crimes or even cooperate with Qiu, a wealthy family, their evaluations can be said to be extremely high, such as Dayuan. Even if Dayuan was a Yi Di, there were countless literati who thought of Dayuan. Why? Because Dai Yuan is really good to the landlord class.

The bureaucratic scholar-bureaucrats and literati group want to rule together with a virtual king and rule the country by agents. If they advance, they will carve up the country for the prime ministers and assistants, and if they retreat, they will live in a village where the good people are the fish and meat. Although Dai Yuan did not take the imperial examination and his path to advancement was cut off, Dai Yuan did not care about this part of the fish and meat township down below.

Although the imperial power and the bureaucracy are both the ruling class, their interests are actually different: the imperial power "serves the world to one person", pursues "family world", is easy to satisfy materially, and needs sustainable development, so for The exploitation of the common people has its limits. There are a huge number of bureaucrats, and they pursue "the crown tassel from generation to generation" and "the responsibility of inheriting the family from generation to generation." Their material desires are astronomical, and they don't care whether the regime can survive. Anyway, they are an emperor and a landlord class. In short, it means Shun comes to surrender and Qing comes to surrender to Qing. I just want to be a minister. It doesn’t matter who is my emperor. Even if the emperor’s surname is not Zhu or Li, or even Boerjijin or Aixinjueluo. .

Highlight the one who has breasts and is a mother.

So you can see the abstract scene of the Red Turban Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Over there are the Han landlord class military princes carrying weapons and swearing to defend the Mongols to the death. Here are the Mongolian poor united under the banner of the Han Zhu Yuanzhang and vowing to expel The Tartars restored China...

This is also the reason why Huang Chao's evaluation is poor, because he really dares to use the knife on those who hold the pen.

Similar to him, there is Zhu Yuanzhang. During the Hongwu period, the emperor often said: "I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me?" After the Guo Huan and Kongyin cases were decided, officials were panicked. The severity of the rectification campaign and corruption eradication is unprecedented.

But the emperor is Taizu and cannot be replaced, and Lao Zhu has a bad temper. If he really scolds him secretly, and with Jin Yiwei watching, the chance of being Ling Chi is obviously too high, what should I do? When he dies, his heir will definitely not be him anyway.

Then he wrote a book and scolded him, scolded him for being unsympathetic and unjust, scolding him for killing heroes, scolding him for being headstrong and extreme, scolding him for being cruel and cold-blooded, scolding him for being a butcher. It was really no longer possible, and there were scoundrels like Yuan Tengfei who scolded him as "a thief bastard born" ", even the portrait must be painted extremely ugly. As for Lao Zhu's historical achievements, these sword tombs never mentioned them.

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu, Liu Bang and Li Shimin don't hate Huang Chao. Although Huang Chao had defeated Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin thought it was quite interesting to be able to defeat the five surnames and Qiwang of the aristocratic family.

In the afternoon when Tang Xizong and all the civil and military officials were running around, Huang Chao's forward Chai Cun entered Chang'an smoothly without encountering any resistance.

Huang Chao took Shang Rang as the general who defeated the Tang Dynasty, and Gai Hong and Fei Quangu as deputy generals. The soldiers, with their hair disheveled and dressed in brocade robes, traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Zhang Zhifang, the Jinwu general of the Tang Dynasty, led dozens of civil and military officers to Bashang to greet him. Huang Chao rode in a golden chariot. The guards all wore embroidered robes and tied their hair with red cloth. Behind them were party members who followed in bronze chariots. Hundreds of thousands The knights entered the capital from Chunming Gate one after another.

Huang Chao was very proud at this time. Many years ago, when he left Chang'an, he was a disgraceful queen. He was full of resentment at losing his reputation, and he was as dejected as a bereaved dog. Now that he has returned to Chang'an, he is surrounded by an army of hundreds of thousands, which is praised by people. It's the "Yellow King".

At this moment, at that moment, Huang Chao stood on the golden car, with Chang'an people and civil and military officials kneeling on the left and right sides.

The me of yesterday was indifferent to you, but the me of today is beyond your reach.

This is what a man should do! Rejoice!

When the peasant army saw the poor people in Chang'an, they sent money to them. Shang Rang also told everyone that King Huang does not cherish you like Tang Ting, so everyone can rest assured and don't panic.

Huang Chao was surrounded by people heading to the palace. He wanted to take a look inside the palace - as a victor.

Taiji Hall, as the main hall where the great court meetings are held, is his first stop.

Outside the palace, thousands of palace maids saw Huang Chao coming from afar, and they all knelt on the ground and called "Huang King" to welcome Huang Chao's arrival.

Huang Chao waved his robe sleeves and signaled the palace maid to stand down without ceremony.

He took the lead and walked towards Tai Chi Hall.

Climb up the stairs and enter the hall.

Looking up, he found a person sitting on the dragon chair.

Huang Chao's face instantly darkened, but thinking that he had taken control of Chang'an at this time, he just assumed that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not run away and stayed in Chang'an City.

Instinctively, he felt something was wrong.

According to the Li family emperor's urinary nature, he should have disappeared without a trace by now. How could the old god be sitting comfortably in the hall waiting for him?

But before he could speak, the person sitting above him spoke.

"Huang Chao, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
