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

Chapter 296 They deserve this gift!
Great Qin.

Ying Zheng quietly looked at those white-haired old soldiers who were like an egg hitting a rock.

What have they been insisting on in isolation for forty-two years?
The glory of the Tang Dynasty?

From being abandoned as a proton to being alone, it is difficult for him to understand this feeling.

His eyes slowly shifted to the bamboo slips on the desk, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.

It was a memorial that once again raised the issue of the feudal system.

I have to say, Li Longji, you are really amazing.

The idea of ​​enfeoffment, which had disappeared due to the Eight Kings Rebellion, has become popular again in the court and the country because of you!
The impact of the An-Shi Rebellion allowed that group of people to completely control the narrative.

Then he glanced at Liu Bang, who was sorting documents at the desk with red eyes.

Even this guy's parallel system of counties and kingdoms couldn't shut those people up.

Ying Zheng looked up at the sky again, his expression calm.

glory……

Rather than saying that the Qin State has brought me glory...

It would be better to say that it was I who brought glory to the Qin Dynasty.

However, the Qin Dynasty did not bring glory to the people...

But I have really reformed myself.

Isn't the future shown by the sky clear enough? Why do some people just can't see it clearly?
As long as the people are safe, you...

I will kill as many as I want!

The Qin Dynasty did not have an imperial examination system, so there were not many scholars.

But unfortunately, our Great Qin has its own national conditions!
Qin Li, how many do you want? How many are there?

……

{I have guarded the Western Regions alone for fifty years, and the whole city is filled with gray-haired soldiers!}
{During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, four protectorates were set up in the Western Regions: Anxi, Beiting, Kunling, and Mengchi.}
{It governs 23 military governorships, including Puyan, Yingsuo, Shuanghe, Wenluzhou, and Jieshan.}
{Rules the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions including Tule, Yuezhi, Gaochang, Qiuci, and Huihe!}
{The land of nine thousand miles east of Suiye City was all under the rule of the Tang Dynasty! The Tang Dynasty at that time was truly worthy of being called the Celestial Empire!}
{Many people here may still remember how Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi led them to travel across Central Asia, conquer Samarkand, and kill the King of Tashkent! How high-spirited they were at that time! }

{The Anshi Rebellion caused the main force of the Anxi Army to be transferred back to suppress the rebellion. Otherwise, with 45,000 Anxi troops, it would be enough to prevent Tubo from setting foot in the Western Regions!}
{We also lost the Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi...}
……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji, who was wearing heavy armor, glanced up at the sky and paused.

"General Gao, tell the Jinwu Guards to put away their weapons."

Gao Lishi was stunned.

"The matter of guarding..."

Li Longji put on a helmet that only revealed his eyes, and a dull voice came out from the iron armor.

"If they don't follow that person and wait for him to defect, they will be the greatest guard!"

……

{As we all know, war requires more logistics, but unfortunately they don't have it.}
{Without food and equipment supplies, even if these soldiers were not replaced, even if they were ten-year-old children at the time, they would have been fifty after guarding for forty years.}
{Compared to the loyalty of the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate to their country, what is even more chilling is the Tang court's attitude towards the Han people trapped in the foreign lands.}
{The story of the commoner in "Bound the Barbarians" who returned to the Han area after many life-threatening experiences was captured by the Tang Dynasty border generals as a barbarian and was eventually exiled to the southeast for the rest of his life.}
{This ending is perhaps even more tragic and miserable than the soldiers who died in the Western Regions.}
……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

As people get older, they experience more.

I can't bear to see these helpless people and helpless things.

Was it wrong for the Anxi Army to defend the Tang Dynasty’s territory?

Was it wrong that Emperor Dezong of Tang was unable to rescue Anxi?

Was it wrong for Emperor Daizong of Tang to establish the Anxi Protectorate?

"Li Longji, Li Longji...so many compassionate things happened because of you."

……

Datang.

"I left home at fifteen, full of energy and ambition."

"Guarding the border for the country, the blood stained the yellow sand."

Li Shimin slowly stood up from the dragon throne, straightened his clothes and said slowly:

"Time flies, my temples are grey, and everything has changed."

"Only loyalty remains unchanged."

Slowly raise your hands in front of your chest and salute with your hands crossed.

"They are the backbone of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What we swear to defend till our death is the dignity of our country!"

"Their perseverance was not in vain, their deeds will be remembered through the ages!"

Amid the astonishment of everyone in the hall, Li Shimin saluted with his arms crossed and bowed slightly!
This is not a nod of greeting between equals.

It is a ritual of bowing and kowtow from the lower to the upper!
Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian also performed the same salute.

After a moment of shock, all the ministers in front of Li Shimin stood up and made way, kneeling down to salute the canopy. The situation in the hall spread outside.

In the huge Taiji Palace, guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all knelt on the ground and saluted.

Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan, with disheveled hair and reeking of alcohol, looked at the sky drunkenly.

"Loyal ministers, all of them are loyal ministers... If I had such loyal ministers..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of armor rubbing outside!
Li Yuan looked outside the hall suddenly.

"What's the commotion?"

Outside the palace, a eunuch bowed and walked in quickly to report:
"Report, the Grand…Emperor."

"Yes... His Majesty the Emperor is saluting the Anxi Army..."

"All the servants in the palace are the same as your majesty."

Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body and continued to lean lazily on the brocade couch.

"Oh? Why does a salute make so much noise?"

The eunuch raised his eyes and took a quick look, then said stumblingly:
"Because... because Your Majesty... performed the Panzhe... Ceremony."

Li Yuan, who was drinking, was suddenly stunned.

"Panzhe..."

The eunuch lowered his head deeply and dared not make a sound.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Okay, okay..."

"They deserve it... they deserve it..."

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin slowly straightened up and looked at everyone in the hall.

The ministers also returned to their seats and looked up at the emperor.

Everything is unspoken.

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji looked at the familiar golden light and let out a long breath.

Then he patted his armor.

come on!

I can handle it!

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the Anxi Army who were determined to protect the Tang Dynasty, and sighed:
"That's why Han and Tang are called Han and Tang!"

"Since ancient times, only the Han and Tang dynasties have maintained their dignity to the death and have not been invaded by foreign races and lost their country."

"In the end, they were able to regain some strength and drag down the Huihe and Tubo tribes."

Zhu Zhanji calmed down his agitated mood, but his tone was still a little excited.

"It's a pity that it didn't end well. Anxi never received any reinforcements until his death!"

Zhu Gaochi on the side sighed:

"The Central Plains is in turmoil and we are unable to provide support. It would be a waste of time to go there."

"The feudal lords were in power, the imperial power was weakened, and the military governors did not listen to the emperor."

"Later, when Zhang Yichao took over the eleven states of Hexi, he still relied on his own troops. The emperors of the late Tang Dynasty were basically powerless in dealing with the Western Regions."

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong Period

Sitting cross-legged on the warm bed, Qianlong twirled his beard and said leisurely:
"It has been nearly a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty lost the Western Regions."

“Although the Northern Song Dynasty also had a brief period of prosperity in the Western Regions, it was not worth mentioning.”

He Shen on the side immediately responded:
"The Lord of Heaven's Destiny for this land of the Western Region is Your Highness!"

"Otherwise, why didn't the Ming Dynasty take this place?"

Qianlong smiled but said nothing.

The old dragon looked at the sky and felt a little relieved.

Just with this one thing, how can I not be at peace?

……

　The third watch is still a bit tiring.
