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

Chapter 285 Li Heng: If possible, I would like to choose punishment!
【Tang Suzong Li Heng】

[Military achievements: Recovered the two capitals. Although the An-Shi Rebellion was not completely quelled, it was largely quelled. Rating: B, 3 points]

……

Late Han Dynasty·Era of Emperor Ling
Liu Hong said angrily with a sour face:
"That's too high! Can you get three points with all those remote controls that hold you back?!"

"Why should I share the same point with him when I only lost the Western Region?"

The ministers on the side looked at each other and said nothing.

Are you ashamed, Your Majesty? You are throwing away the land, and they are taking it back.

Although the situation in Hebei Province was volatile, the territory of the Tang Dynasty did not change much.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tang army lost several times because of Emperor Suzong's disruption, forcing his subordinates to fight when they shouldn't have, not having a commander-in-chief led to no unified command and dragged down the army, and supporting his deputy generals to disrupt the strategies and tactics of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi...

It's not surprising that his evaluation has been raised to a higher level.

Thinking about it this way, he is worthy of being the son of Emperor Xuanzong!

……

[Institutional Construction: Salt Monopoly Law: Every salt-producing area shall have a “Supervisory Office” as a management agency.

Salt households that produce salt must register as households, and are called Tinghu. The state exempts them from miscellaneous labor service and allows them to specialize in salt production. All salt produced is purchased by the government, and private sale is strictly prohibited.

The government added an extra hundred coins to the current price of ten coins per dou, and sold it to merchants for a total of one hundred and ten coins.

After the implementation of the Salt Monopoly Law, the court's annual salt tax revenue reached 400,000 strings of cash.

Evaluated as C grade, two points are awarded. 】

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan was a little confused.

"Father, the government has been struggling for years, so wouldn't it be a good idea to reform the salt law to collect money?"

“Why is the rating so low?”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, the lines at the corners of his eyes deepened a little.

He looked into the distance with his eyes, and a look of compassion appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the premise for reforming the system and improving finances is not to hurt the people."

"If we sell it directly to the people, one hundred and ten coins is the price."

A white light flashed in his eyes, and Zhuge Liang's face became more and more sad.

"Although it will still cause suffering to the people, at least it will not hurt them."

"If they sell it to merchants, and the merchants pay the tax and then sell it to the people, then all the people in the world, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, will have paid money to the government."

"Rich people do not work hard, so they eat less salt."

"Poor families have a lot of labor, so they put a lot of emphasis on salt."

"After all the twists and turns, the biggest part of the salt tax is still borne by the poor."

"When the market price doubles, the people will eat bland food and feel bitter and want to die."

……

[People's Livelihood and Economy: Li Heng was able to defeat An Lushan and recover the two capitals, all thanks to the financial resources from Jianghuai.

At that time, the government plundered the people of Jianghuai, regardless of whether they owed rent or not. As long as the family had grain and silk, the government would send officials to search their houses and either divide all the property equally or take eight or nine out of ten, which was called "taking property without reason".

Any slight disobedience will result in arrest, imprisonment and severe punishment.

The folk song about Bai Zhu goes: "In the Shangyuan era (Li Heng's reign), officials were greedy and exploitative, and many people in Jianghuai were corrupt."

The Qianyuan Chongbao coins were one inch in diameter and each weighed ten catties. One coin was equivalent to ten Kaiyuan coins.

They also cast heavy-wheeled Qianyuan coins, with a diameter of one inch and two fen, each weighing twelve jin, and one coin was equivalent to fifty coins.

Money was cheap, prices of goods soared, a dou of rice cost as much as seven thousand coins, and poor people were starving to death on the streets.

Evaluation level E, zero points]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan stared at the sky with an expressionless face.

"A dou of rice... seven thousand coins..."

"Emperor Yang of Sui issued a reduced-weight Sui Wuzhu note, which squeezed the people's money and caused the price of rice to reach 3,000 coins per dou of rice."

Li Yuan slowly lay flat on the bed, clasped his hands together on his lower abdomen, closed his eyes and murmured:

"A dou of rice costs seven thousand coins..."

"The Tang Dynasty is about to fall..."

The two brothers next to him roughly calculated that one Qianyuan coin could be exchanged for ten Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

However, the weight difference between the two is not big. If two Kaiyuan coins are melted, one Qianyuan coin can be minted, which can be exchanged for ten Kaiyuan coins.

In this way, the masses can mint more coins privately and compete to spend them...

This is an old story about Wang Mang!

[Diplomatic Strategy: Ask Huihe to send troops and marry Princess Zhen to Huihe. Rating: D, get 1 point]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng looked at the sky and sighed.

“That’s a bit harsh.”

"Emperor Suzong of Tang wanted to recover the country and people of the Tang Dynasty that he had lost from Emperor Xuanzong."

"In order to recapture Chang'an, we had to offer huge benefits to induce the Huihe to send troops."

"Although it was a strategy of driving away tigers and inviting wolves, compared to Li Longji abandoning the capital and fleeing, Emperor Suzong of Tang was also unscrupulous in his efforts to recover lost territory."

Liu Qi disagreed with his father's opinion and said firmly:

"The Huihe people are under the rule of Emperor Taizong. Li Heng should have ordered them to come and suppress the rebellion!"

"He recaptured Chang'an just to compete with his father for power!"

"With selfishness, you feed the people to tigers and wolves!"

"He is no different from Li Longji!"

"According to me..."

Liu Qi sneered disdainfully:
"Each cent is too much!"

……

[How to employ and identify people: He employed Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to recover the two capitals, and employed the eunuch Yu Huai'en to suppress Guo Ziyi and others.

The power of garrison was given to eunuchs to suppress military generals.

He trusted the eunuch Li Fuguo again, which started the road to the eunuchs' autocracy.

Evaluation level E, zero points]

……

{An Lushan started the rebellion of the feudal lords, and Li Fuguo started the rebellion of the eunuchs.}
{Li Heng was a fool, and in the end, he frightened Li Fuguo to death.}
{Scared to death? Didn't Emperor Suzong of Tang die of illness?}

{Actually, it was almost the same. He was originally seriously ill, but Empress Zhang was thinking about killing the crown prince and killing Li Fuguo. When Li Fuguo found out, he took the initiative and led his troops to rush to Suzong and captured the queen.}
{Then the maids, guards, and eunuchs all ran away, leaving Emperor Suzong lying alone in the palace. He died the next day. After his death, the empress was killed by Li Fuguo.}
{Tsk tsk, in the last moments of his life, he was abandoned by his own subjects. I wonder if he would regret that he had created the situation where Tai'a was upside down and the imperial power fell into the hands of others?}

{No emperor can be simply judged by his wisdom or stupidity. For Li Heng, the civil service group was untrustworthy. With Li Linfu in front and Yang Guozhong in the back, his crown prince acted in fear.}
{Not to mention the military generals, it was these military leaders who rebelled against the emperor. The An-Shi Rebellion has not yet subsided, and the Mawei Incident seems like yesterday. If he wants to extend his power and make the emperor's orders pass down, he can only employ and trust the eunuchs.}
{This is really... Li Longji's fault!}
……

Tang Dynasty - Emperor Suzong
Li Heng dropped the cup in his hand in shock.

Queen? !
He knew that the queen had all kinds of problems.

But when I decided to go north to Lingwu, I was in a state of panic.

She is the one who stays by my side day and night!

He even hoped to use his body to protect himself from assassination!

She has countless shortcomings that all the women in the harem have, but she loves herself very much!

"Li Fuguo..."

There was a flash of coldness in Li Heng's eyes.

"Changyuan, I know why you want to retreat without accomplishing your mission."

The image of Li Qin resigning in every possible way when retaking Chang'an flashed through his mind.

I need you.

……

[Influence on later generations: It left a pit of eunuchs' monopoly of power in the Tang Dynasty. Rated E, zero points.]

[Total score: six points]

……

Wow, six points!

The emperors were seated and ready to watch the fun, then they noticed a figure that shouldn't have appeared next to Emperor Suzong!
……

　Li Heng really is... spending his whole life cleaning up messes, doing a thankless job.

　　Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was such a fucking idiot!
