The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 258 What kind of emperor is Li Zhi?
Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the sky with a half-smile.

The reason why I was named emperor was because the world was unified for the first time.

This achievement covers the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

What achievements do you have that you dare to be called heaven?
Relying on the ministers left behind in the world your father conquered for you?

Humph, you control the court with the hands of a woman, and you dare to do anything to the sky!
No one calls me that!

"What are you thinking about?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Liu Bang who was thoughtful, and Ying Zheng asked bluntly.

Liu Bang woke up from his dream, raised his hands and replied:
"Your Majesty, I'm just thinking...is this what Li Zhi meant or Empress Wu's?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Bang carefully for a while.

Watching Liu Bang's saluting hand tremble slightly, he immediately shifted his gaze to look at the sky.

If Li Zhi was thinking about it, it would be that he was complacent.

If that was what Empress Wu was thinking, it meant that Li Zhi's control over the court was out of control.

……

Big man.

Emperor? Queen?
sky……

"This kid is quite proud, but his complexion is too bad."

Liu Bang, who was leaning on the soft couch, scratched his buttocks as if he didn't care, but he was observing Lu Pheasant's expression from the corner of his eye.

To put it bluntly, the conflict between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji is still the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power.

If the imperial power is great, the prime minister will have little power; if the imperial power is small, the prime minister will have great power.

Not everyone can maintain the right balance between imperial power and prime minister power like Li Shimin.

Most emperors either over-centralized or over-delegated power.

Li Zhi is hovering on the edge of closing and releasing.

The alliance between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian changed the power structure.

The joint management of the emperor and the prime ministers evolved into the joint governance of the emperor and the queen.

This model cannot be said to be bad, but it is not much better either.

Because in the end I ended up back in the strange circle of my maternal relatives.

Just like the Lu family...

Keeping the queen in the palace like this is not a long-term solution.

I hope Shusuntong will be more flexible...

Lu Zhi, who was standing beside him, was sitting upright and motionless, looking at the sky with a calm expression.

As long as the military power is in hand, one can overlook the world even from the deep palace.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
This guy is a bit weak.

Queen...

Liu Che touched his chin and muttered these two words.

Later is Kunde, and Heaven is Qiande.

No matter how noble the queen is, she can never be compared to Qian.

This woman, in front of her, went to Mount Tai to offer gifts, and in the back, she put the word "天" on top of the word "after".

What does she want to do?
Do you want to show your power and stand side by side with the emperor?

Does this imply that she will be another Empress Lu? one
"The Second Saint is coming to court..."

Liu Che snorted disdainfully.

Although it is understandable that he did this to restrict the ministers who helped his father.

I can also understand that I had to delegate power to the queen when I was sick.

But going so far back is going too far!

Power is easy to give but not easy to take back, and the majesty of the emperor is weakened.

He is digging another hole for himself and his descendants.

This Li Zhi is far inferior to his father and not like Li Shimin.

……

Late Han Dynasty.

Hanzhong.

Cao Wei stroked his beard and sighed.

"I understand him, I understand him."

Liu Bei on the side looked at the sky calmly and replied calmly:

"It's because King Wei also suffers from wind disease, so he can relate to it."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said loudly:

"Sure enough, the only person in the world who knows me is Xuande!"

Liu Bei put his hands on his knees and nodded slightly. Without even looking at him, he replied directly:

"Isn't it true that King Wei has said this to many people?"

The hand stroking his beard froze, and Cao Cao sighed:

"After suffering from this damn wind disease, many things no longer depend on my will."

"Every time I want to concentrate on listening to the music, the wind will make me dizzy and make my limbs weak."

Listening to what was said while skipping the topic, Liu Bei nodded and said calmly:

"It's a pity that he doesn't have a prime minister like Kong Ming."

Cao Cao's face froze.

"Maybe he can't tell whether those prime ministers are the second eldest grandson Wuji."

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

"Indeed, King Wei really feels the same way as him."

Cao Cao's eyes were fierce.

"Xuande, your house seems to be on fire. Go back quickly."

Liu Bei turned around and looked at each other calmly.

"It's okay, I'm used to living without a fixed place."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and looked at the sky with an expressionless face.

How come this person has become a gangster?
Isn't it just to take the opportunity to sneak attack on you in Hanzhong?

Gu is also here to save Yunchang’s life!

Pooh! Big-eared thief! It's really hateful!
……

Great Sui.

"Ah……"

Dugu Jialuo sneered again and again.

Yang Jian was hiding aside with Li Shimin in his arms.

Glancing at the empress who was covered in cold air, Yang Jian looked down at Li Shimin, who also had a solemn face, and murmured in a low voice.

"Look at the good things you did."

"Forget about the inheritance system, how about taking the title of Second Saint from your son?"

……

On the canopy.

Li Zhi, dressed in white and mink fur, was leaning on the soft couch, his face pale and sickly.

He took a sip of the decoction, then looked at the queen who was holding the spoon to feed the medicine and said softly:

"Thanks a lot."

Wu Zetian, with sunken eyes and paper-colored lips, shook her head, scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Li Zhi's lips.

After drinking slowly again, Li Zhi glanced at the memorials scattered on the table beside him, his eyes clear and calm.

"Mei Niang, ask the ministers to meet me at Qianyuan Hall."

……

[In 675 AD, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's rheumatism became more and more severe, so he discussed with the ministers to let Empress Wu regent. 】

[Prime Minister Hao Chu made a remonstrance: "How could your Majesty, the Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong rule the world, and not pass it on to their descendants, instead appointing the Queen of Heaven!"]

[This matter is therefore temporarily suspended. 】

……

Datang.

Everyone looked at the shrunken little Li Zhi in unison.

The word regent is by no means an easy word!

"Book of Rites" says: "The Duke of Zhou acted as regent and governed according to his principles."

The regent is responsible for the administration of the emperor.

Once you have this status, it is not as simple as reading memorials and attending court meetings.

This is taking over all the power of the emperor!
Everyone in the world, even the prince or the prime minister, must obey him.

This is the edict of Tianxian that is spoken and followed by one's heart!

Life and death are all under control!

Without the name of an emperor, he has the reality of being an emperor!
Is this kid crazy? !

"What are you thinking about?"

Empress Changsun's pretty face was filled with anger, and she pointed angrily at Xiao Li Zhi's forehead. "This world belongs to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and you actually want to pass it on to people with other surnames!"

Queen Changsun looked at the tearful little Li Zhi and scolded her harshly.

The specific reason for this matter is not important, what is important is the result of doing it!
We cannot chill the hearts of the ministers.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the main seat, had angry eyes.

Since he was angry at this woman in the sky, he acted recklessly and tried to do what Empress Lu did.

I was also angry that my life's hard work was actually used as a plaything by this kid!

The ministers in the palace felt the emperor's anger and remained silent.

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi couldn't believe that the person in the sky was actually him!

Is my illness serious enough? !
As for the regent...

Rubbing the jade spy on his thumb, Li Zhi's expression was uncertain.

Not to mention that Mei Niang is most familiar with her own way of governing the world and can better inherit her will.

Even if she were the regent, she couldn't do what Empress Lu did.

Regardless of the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, the harem's political support must be based on foreigners from the natal family.

But Mei Niang has almost harsh requirements for the brothers in her family. If she doesn't become an enemy, those in the Wu family are too cowardly.

It is simply impossible to expect them to unite.

also……

Li Zhi looked relieved.

Mei Niang is four years older than me. According to the calculation, she is already 53 years old this year.

This is an age to live in retirement.

A smile appeared on Li Zhi's face.

Therefore, even if she is allowed to be the regent, there is no need to worry!
Hmm...Zetian is a good name.

Take heaven as the law to govern the world.

It seems that even if I die of illness, Meiniang can still manage the world well.

After all, I am God.

……

On the canopy.

The military troubles in the Western Regions fluctuated, but they were eventually covered by the red Tang Dynasty.

……

[In 676 AD, Tubo attacked the four prefectures of Shan, Kuo, He, and Fang. Li Zhi issued an edict to stop Feng Chan and sent Prime Minister Li Dan and others to lead an army to resist Tubo. 】

[In September 678 AD, Li Jingxuan fought against Tibet in Qinghai, and almost all of his -strong army was wiped out. 】

[The brave general Hei Te Changzhi led his troops to attack the enemy camp at night, and the Tibetan army was defeated. 】

[In 679 AD, the ten surnamed Khans of the Western Turks rebelled. Pei Xingjian was sent to suppress the rebellion, and the rebels were put down in one fell swoop. 】

[In August 680 AD, Prince Li Xian's rebellion was discovered and he was deposed as a commoner. Li Xian, King of Ying, was made the crown prince. 】

[The Turks rebelled, and Pei Xingjian was sent to suppress them. 】

[In July 681 AD, Li was cured of his illness and ordered Prince Li Xian to supervise the country. 】

[On the eighth day of November, Pei Xingjian pacified the Turks. 】

……

On the canopy.

Songshan Fengtian Palace

The celebration of amnesty for the world slowly came to an end.

Li Zhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, asked Empress Wu next to him:

"Are the people happy?"

Wu Zetian wiped the sweat from Li Zhi's face and replied softly:

"The people are pardoned, and they are all grateful for your Majesty's virtue."

Hearing this, a smile slowly appeared on Li Zhi's pale face.

"That's good...that's good..."

Then he sighed slightly and said:
"My life is in danger..."

Everyone in the palace was terrified.

Wu Zetian's eyes were filled with sadness and she choked with sobs:
"Let Qin Minghe try again."

Li Zhi didn't seem to hear anything. He looked outside the palace gate quietly.

In the distance is Chang'an.

"If the gods of heaven and earth can extend my life for a month or two, they will return me to Chang'an."

"I will die without regret."

……

[On the fourth day of December in 683 AD, Li Zhi, who was seriously ill, changed Yuan Hongdao and granted amnesty to the world. 】

[That night, he died in the Zhenguan Hall of Luoyang Palace at the age of fifty-six. 】

[The ministers gave him the posthumous title of Emperor Tianhuang, his temple name was Gaozong, and he was buried in Qianling Mausoleum. 】

[The imperial edict is that the crown prince will ascend the throne in front of his coffin, and that Pei Yan and others will assist in the administration. If military and state affairs are undecided, the Empress Wu will be appointed to the throne. 】

[On the 11th, Prince Li Xian ascended the throne and became Zhongzong. Honor the Empress Wu as the Empress Dowager. 】

……

[Tang Gaozong·Li Zhi]

[Military achievements: pacified the Western Turks, destroyed Baekje, and Goguryeo. The territory of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak period.

Rating S level, five points. 】

[System construction: Compiled into "Tang Lv Shu Yi".

Until the Qing Dynasty, the legal codes were still formulated based on the "Tang Lv Shu Yi".

Re-establish the imperial examination system, unify examination standards, and set a precedent for imperial examinations.

After the king was deposed and Wu was established, the "Xianqing Surname Record" was compiled, and the family rankings were determined completely according to the grades of existing officials.

At this point, the gentry system that began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was completely eliminated from the official genealogy.

The system of judging talents based on family origin was officially declared extinct.

Set up constant liquidation warehouses in various states to control prices.

Rating S level, five points. 】

[Diplomatic strategy: Show kindness to those who surrender, and use force to conquer those who do not abide by the courtesy of the ministers.

The evaluation is grade B, with three points. 】

[People's Livelihood Economy: During the Yonghui Period, "a price of millet in Luozhou was two and a half yuan, and a price of japonica rice was eleven yuan."

However, since 670, due to the construction of new capitals and the continuous expansion of the official team, large-scale conquests and other policies were often carried out.

This has brought lasting and growing pressure to Datang’s finances.

In 682 AD, there was famine in twenty-six places in Guanzhong and Shannan Prefecture, and people in the capital ate each other.

In April, he went to Luoyang, the eastern capital. The journey was so hasty that some of the soldiers accompanying him died of starvation on the way.

In May, there was heavy rain in Luoyang, and the Luo River overflowed, flooding more than a thousand houses.

There are floods, droughts, locusts, and epidemics in Guanzhong, and the price of rice is four hundred coins.

So on the road between Chang'an and Luoyang, the dead slept with each other and people ate each other.

The evaluation is grade B, with three points. 】

[Know people by employing them: Treat Zhenguan’s old ministers well (except for his uncle)

Recognizing people and utilizing their talents, he promoted a group of outstanding civil servants such as Lu Chengqing and Xue Yuanchao, as well as military generals such as Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian.

Rated A, four points. 】

[Influence on later generations: The rule of Yonghui that no one knows about. Li Shimin is his son, and Wu Zetian is her husband.

If Wu Zetian had not left behind the intangible cultural heritage.

His rating may be higher.

The evaluation is grade B, with three points. 】

[Total score: twenty-three points]

……

[What kind of emperor is Li Zhi? 】

[Option 1: Incompetent and cowardly mediocrity. 】

[Option 2: An ambitious ruler. 】

[Option 3: The scheming depositor. 】

……

　Li Zhi, this old hapless guy.

　　The compilation of the New Book of Tang began in the fourth year of Renzong Qingli (1044).

　　It was after Liu E died and Song Renzong took full power.

　　The compilation of Chinese history has the political function of drawing on historiography.

　　Demonizing Wu Zetian to block future female protagonists just reflects this political function.

　　Even Li Zhi was in bad luck.

　　One thing to say, who would have thought that an old lady in her sixties would become emperor instead of being a queen mother?
　　Even if he inherits the Northern Dynasty, this idea is too wild!

　　The "Zizhi Tongjian" is later than the "New Book of Tang", but it also has the same need in terms of reference function.
