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

Chapter 301 Li Longji: Aba Aba!

【Tang Muzong Li Heng】

[Military achievements: After the death of Emperor Xianzong, the three towns of Lulong, Chengde and Weizhou in Hebei continued to maintain their loyalty to the court for a short period of time.

However, Muzong despised the local vassal states, and the three towns in Hebei all broke away from the central government and returned to a semi-independent state.

Successive expeditions to the three towns all ended in failure, and the victory of the Yuanhe Restoration was completely wasted.

The only consolation might be that Tubo and Huihe were appeased and no territory was lost.

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said to Liu Chan:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember to be close to wise ministers and stay away from villains?"

Liu Chan nodded, then looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion.

Zhuge Liang pointed at the sky and said solemnly:

"The Yuanhe Restoration of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty resulted in the reunification of the country."

"But because he favored villains and distanced himself from virtuous officials, he used eunuchs to control the officials and gave them military power."

"It caused the frontline soldiers to lose unity and suffer a great defeat."

"Since then, Hebei has never returned to the Tang Dynasty."

"This is all because Emperor Muzong of Tang did not know how to judge people and used the wrong people."

Liu Chan nodded thoughtfully.

"I see...Father, how did you know that Hebei is no longer in the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang paused slightly as he waved the feather fan.

"Didn't I say that?"

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion.

"Say...what?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized what was happening when he saw Liu Chan's expression.

"When your majesty was blessed by the late emperor and Generals Guan and Zhang, I was blessed with a round glow."

"So I can see the future."

Liu Chan opened his mouth wide when he heard this.

Father-in-law! You treat me as an outsider!

I won’t ask you if you will never tell me again in your life!
Zhuge Liang silently turned his head away, avoiding Liu Chan's aggrieved gaze.

I really forgot!

[Institutional Construction: At the beginning of Emperor Muzong's accession to the throne, Prime Minister Duan Wenchang and Xiao Jiao believed that the war had been pacified and the fighting should be stopped.

So Emperor Muzong ordered that all military garrisons and soldiers should "limit the number of people who escape death out of every hundred men each year."

Every year, eight out of a hundred men must escape or die and be removed from the military register.

The soldiers who were disbanded had nowhere to go and could not find other jobs, so they had to hide in the mountains.

Soon the three towns in Heshuo rebelled again, and the soldiers who had been hiding joined the three towns one after another.

Tang Xuanzong Period
After changing his clothes, Li Longji, with a pale face, looked at the sky fiercely. He tried to endure it again and again but he really couldn't bear it!

"boom!"

The green lamp was thrown hard to the ground and broke into pieces.

Then he pointed his sword at the sky and cursed loudly!
"Aba! Aba Aba Aba!"

Yang Yuhuan, who was standing nearby, curled up into a ball, stuffing crab cakes into her mouth to calm herself down.

Looking at Li Longji who was angry with Aba, he couldn't help but ask Gao Lishi beside him.

"General Gao... Your Majesty, what are you... talking about?"

Gao Lishi observed carefully for a while, then said softly:
"Your Majesty, what do you say? Only eight people out of a hundred can escape death each year?"

"Are you a pig brain?!"

Holding the crab cake, Yang Yuhuan looked at Gao Lishi in confusion.

"what?"

Gao Lishi quickly waved his hands and explained:
"This is what His Majesty said to the sky, not directed at Your Majesty!"

Only then did Yang Yuhuan take a bite of the pastry in her hand with satisfaction.

"General Gao, what is His Majesty talking about now?"

Gao Lishi gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, then looked at Li Longji who was standing there with his hands on his waist, and translated:

"Have you ever thought about how these soldiers will make a living after leaving the army?"

"I... Your Majesty has reformed the military system. Soldiers in various vassal states have to rely on their military status to receive a fixed monthly salary to support themselves and their families!"

"You can disband the troops, but you have to consider how to deal with these stateless people?!"

"If we let them leave the army without making any arrangements for their future life, what else can these soldiers do if they lose their source of income and have no way to survive?"

"Willn't it be possible to make a living by becoming a bandit and robbing houses?"

"Stupid! Stupid!"

Li Longji on the other side felt Li Shimin's mood for the first time.

Gao Lishi, who was translating simultaneously, also felt Li Longji's mood.

While chewing on the cake, Yang Yuhuan felt like an outsider...

"What a great time! What a great time!"

Gao Lishi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was very excited.

Li Longji, who was banging the table over there, indeed looked very distressed.

Yang Yuhuan stopped eating and just stared blankly at the two people performing the double act.

"I'm not afraid of you having fun! But you have to have some brains too!"

Li Longji's eyes turned red and he slammed the table fiercely!
Then he pointed the sword at the sky!

Gao Lishi then shouted loudly!
"Tianmu! Your Majesty...I request the same treatment as Taizong!"

"Your Majesty also wants the ability to travel back and forth!"

"After all, your Majesty also got full marks!"

"You can't favor one over another!"

"I! ...Your Majesty must beat this unworthy descendant to death!"

"Beat him to death!"

Li Longji, who was standing over there, was breathing heavily with his hands on his hips, while Gao Lishi, who was standing over here, was holding his chest to calm his excitement. In the middle, Yang Yuhuan was holding Luo Su and looking around.

"Your Majesty... is amazing."

How can Aba come up with so many things without a tongue?
"General Gao is amazing."

Even though he doesn't have a tongue, you can still understand so many things!

[Diplomatic Strategy: In 821 AD, his younger sister Princess Taihe was canonized as "Khotun of Benevolence, Filial Piety, Beauty, Wisdom and Longevity" and married to the Uighur Khan Chongde.

In the same year, he held a meeting with Tubo in the western suburbs of Chang'an to determine the "nephew-uncle relationship", which is known in history as the "Changqing Meeting".

This move appeased the Uighurs and Tubo, and prevented the border from being disturbed by war.

The stability of foreign relations was a highlight of the reign of Emperor Muzong of Tang.

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
"boom!"

The cups on the table jumped.

Young Liu Che held his face helplessly as he looked at Liu Qi who was about to go crazy again, and sighed helplessly.

"Why!"

Liu Qi slammed the table vigorously and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction!

"That Emperor Xianzong of Tang does have some talent. I admit it!"

"Why is this idiot's diplomacy better than mine?!"

Queen Wang on the side secretly criticized little Liu Che, who rolled his eyes helplessly.

If I had known I would not have come here! Who is the son? Why do I have to coax him?
"It's not my father's fault. It's because I, the great man, have to bow my head and be a good man."

Little Liu Che looked at Liu Qi weakly and said:
"We are brothers, and they are uncles and nephews."

Liu Qi wanted to shamelessly ask who his uncle was, but he did not say anything against his will.

"hateful!"

[People's Livelihood and Economy: When the Two-Tax System was first implemented, the taxes paid were calculated using money, so money was light and goods were heavy.

However, since then, the amount of coins minted by the government has dropped sharply, bureaucrats and merchants have collected money privately, and ordinary people have melted coins to make bronze utensils for profit. The flood of counterfeit coins has caused the value of legitimate coins to soar.

However, the old rule that the goods paid could be converted into money remained unchanged, which resulted in a drop in prices, a heavier weight on money and a lighter weight on goods, thus increasing the burden on taxpayers.

During the reign of Emperor Muzong of Tang, the taxes paid by taxpayers were more than three times the original amount.

In order to ease the conflicts between the imperial court and taxpayers, the Minister of Revenue Yang Yuling suggested that the imperial court increase the amount of coin minting.

Except for salt and wine, all taxes collected were directly paid in cloth and silk, which ensured the court's tax revenue and prevented the people from falling into poverty due to the heavy burden.

Muzong approved this plan, which was the last thing that could be praised during his four-year reign.

It not only ensures the country's fiscal revenue, but also appropriately reduces the burden on the people.

Song Huizong Period
Zhao Ji twirled his beard and said calmly:
"Do you think Emperor Muzong was a tyrant?"

Li Gang behind him bowed slightly and said slowly:
"Although history books record that Emperor Muzong of Tang was playful and willful, he did not delay too many government affairs, nor did he extort money from the people or harm the people."

"On the contrary, he personally handled the court's personnel arrangements, military affairs, vassal policies and other matters. This is fundamentally different from a tyrant."

Zhao Ji smiled, put his hands behind his back and said:
"Your bad temper will never change."

"Chen Yingzhong said you are the modern Di Renjie."

"I want to see how you resemble Di Huaiying."

"The Taichang Temple is still short of a fourth-rank Shaoqing. You should take up the post tomorrow."

"Don't hang around in front of me."

Li Gang was silent for a moment and bowed slightly.

"My lord, take your orders."
