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

Chapter 308 Tang Wuzong Li Yan

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
With his arm resting on the pillow beside him, Liu Che suppressed his envy of Li Shimin, and then began to secretly confront Emperor Wuzong of Tang.

"If the Wenzong is not a man of letters, I don't know if the Wuzong is a man of letters."

"...I counted with my fingers!"

"This person should have some achievements in military affairs, but may not be very good in people's livelihood and politics."

Wei Zifu sat upright and said with a faint smile:
"Your Majesty, why are you still childish? Can you tell all this from just one word, Martial Arts?"

Liu Che glanced at Wei and Huo, who were equally curious, and said helplessly:

"You don't even look at the people who have the word 'Wu' in their name since Liu Xiu, except for Emperor Wu of Zhou, who has been able to master both civil and military affairs?"

Wei Zifu looked at Liu Che, who was full of disgust and dissatisfaction, and smiled gently with her hands covering her mouth.

"Who knows, maybe this Wu Zong is a man of both civil and military talents?"

Liu Che looked at the emperor who looked old in the sky and rolled his eyes.

"Muzong indulged himself in pleasure, Jingzong was absurd and immoral, and Wenzong was indecisive."

"None of my father and brothers is capable."

"Do you think he can do it?"

"He's also good at both civil and military affairs?"

Liu Che sneered.

"He's both civil and military as long as he doesn't let the eunuchs kill him!"

……

[At first, Emperor Wenzong of Tang had appointed Li Chengmei, the sixth son of Emperor Jingzong of Tang, as the crown prince. When he was dying, the eunuchs Liu Hongyi and Xue Jiling, who served as the Privy Councilors, and Prime Minister Li Jue were preparing to promote the crown prince to supervise the country in the name of flattering the secret order.]

[Since the crown prince was not one of theirs, the lieutenants of the Left and Right Armies of the Shen Ce, Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi, forged an imperial edict to appoint Li Yan as the crown prince on the grounds that the crown prince was still young, and sent troops to bring him into the palace.]

[He also forced Li Chengmei and An Wang Li Rong, who was once a candidate for the crown prince, to death. ]

[After ascending the throne, Emperor Wuzong of Tang conferred the titles of Duke of Chu and Duke of Han on Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi respectively.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and sighed.

"Tired, I am very tired looking at this."

Holding the copper heater in my arms, even though the sun is still shining brightly outside, it is difficult to drive away the sadness in my heart.

"Li Chun died at the hands of eunuchs, Li Heng died at the hands of eunuchs, and Li Ang's crown prince died at the hands of eunuchs."

"There were also many other princes, prime ministers and their relatives who died at the hands of eunuchs."

"Just like chickens and ducks on the chopping board, they can only be slaughtered by the eunuchs."

"The eunuchs are ten times more rampant than those in the Later Han Dynasty!"

"Ugh……"

Li Yuan sighed to the sky, then murmured:

"Everyone, get down. I'm afraid I can't help but chop you to death."

Li Jiancheng was in a panic, and Li Shimin said to the eunuchs who were serving him:
"Go down."

The eunuchs were stunned for a moment, then left the palace as if they had been pardoned.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, whose face changed slightly after he came to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Ugh……"

……

【And I am afraid that Emperor Wuzong of Tang might have unnecessary ambitions. 】

Qiu Shiliang taught the eunuchs around Emperor Wuzong: "The emperor should not be left idle. He should be entertained with luxury every day and have no time for other things."

[Under Qiu Shiliang's guidance, Emperor Wuzong of Tang went hunting, played football, rode and shot arrows, and wrestled, playing all kinds of martial arts to great ecstasy.]

[The children who played with him were all from the Five Quarters. After playing in the palace, they went out to play. When they had a great time, they would spend a lot of money on rewards.]

[After seeing him for a long time, people at that time thought he was a replica of Emperor Jingzong of Tang.]

[Until he went to visit Empress Dowager Guo with a playful look in his heart and asked her how to be an emperor.]

[Empress Dowager Guo did not say a word about what he had done, but only said one thing, asking him to accept advice.]

【Tang Wuzong was obedient and read all of Gao Ji's memorials after returning.】

[The content of the petition was mostly to persuade him to stop playing.]

[Since then, the number of visits has decreased significantly. ]

……

{Wow! Eunuchs also know how to overcome hardness with softness?}
{Eunuch...isn't this normal?}
{…To be honest, Emperor Muzong and Emperor Jingzong might have fallen for this kind of sugar-coated bullet!}
{Isn't it because the eunuchs control the imperial guards?}
{To be honest, although the eunuchs were powerful during the reigns of Emperors Mu and Jing, they could not really suppress the emperor.}
{Eunuchs are merely parasites of the imperial power. Even though their power has grown stronger after the Ganlu Incident, they are still the emperor's slaves in the end and need to rely on the emperor's name to act.}
{If one can be good at utilizing, guiding and controlling the eunuchs, then the emperor can use them at his will.}
{Emperor Wenzong was too anxious.}
{Strong men are easily broken. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty, starting from Emperor Xuanzong, all had a tendency to be impatient.}
{Xuanzong was eager to solve the problem quickly, which caused the Anshi Rebellion to get out of control.}
{Emperor Suzong was eager to quell the rebellion, but he was unable to eradicate all the evil, which made the An-Shi Rebellion a long-term task.}
{Emperor Daizong was eager to quell the rebellion, and the An-Shi Rebellion ended hastily.}
{Emperor Dezong was also eager to achieve success, and eventually he was driven out of control.}
{Xianzong still used the same formula, and eventually forced the three towns of Heshuo to unite, and the Tang Dynasty fell into a quagmire again.}
{Emperor Muzong, Emperor Jingzong, and Emperor Wenzong all fell for this matter.}
……

Big man.

Liu Bang looked at the sky and smiled:

"These kids are still trying to make the emperor form a balance of power among the eunuchs. No one can win against anyone else."

"Both factions have to rely on the emperor's support to consolidate their positions."

Lu Zhi frowned slightly. "Isn't this good?"

Liu Bang sighed.

"well."

"And then? Didn't things evolve step by step to this point?"

"E'er, why are you suddenly confused?"

Lu Zhi held her breath.

"Say!"

Liu Bang glanced at her sideways and clasped his hands across his chest.

"Think about it the same way you think about taking military power."

"The military power of the Shen Ce Army will remain in the hands of the eunuchs for one day!"

"That so-called internal checks and balances is a joke."

Then he raised his chin and said to Qiu Shiliang in the sky:

"Look, this is the beginning of using softness to overcome hardness!"

"You know the art of ruling, and so do others."

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"The most soft thing in the world is the strongest thing in the world."

Liu Heng patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and pointed at the sky curtain and said:
"The desire of the ears and eyes is the relaxation of the muscles and bones."

"Once the emperor gets close to these things, he will accept them."

"And he would think that these are the pleasures that the ruler deserves, and that his attendants should provide him with such pleasures."

Seeing that Liu Qi was listening attentively, Liu Heng analyzed the emperor's weaknesses one by one.

"Such behavior, on the surface, does no harm to the country and is not exclusive to the matter. It is not considered the eunuchs' merit, nor is it considered the eunuchs' fault."

"When the eunuchs were seen to be arrogant, the emperor was filled with resentment and wanted to eliminate them."

"When I retired to the deep palace, I enjoyed myself and my anger gradually subsided."

"When he was chatting and laughing with the eunuchs and concubines, following them in and out and obeying their orders, his initial rage was quickly dispelled."

"Once the spirit is weakened, how can we expect it to revive?"

Liu Qi was sweating profusely after hearing this. He looked at Liu Heng and said hesitantly:

"Father... is that really the case?"

Liu Heng stroked his beard, looked at the sky and said:
“The nature of the average person and the mediocre person is all here.”

"Qi'er, those who love young boys and girls, sing and dance, and relieve themselves of their worries and anger are all opportunities for weapons and poison!"

"Cao Cao was right when he said, 'A hero has great ambitions.'"

"If someone can be intoxicated by just singing and dancing, then it means that this person is not strong-willed."

"If you don't have a strong will, how can you stick to your goal and see it through to the end?"

Liu Qi looked at Dou Yifang who was smiling at the side, and then looked at Liu Heng who was full of emotion, and asked involuntarily:
"Father, how did you know so much?"

Liu Heng, who was sighing, paused for a moment, then looked at Liu Qi.

Seeing the entanglement and embarrassment in his father's eyes, Liu Qi raised his hand and said:

"Don't say anymore, Father. I understand."

"It's hard for you to explain my personality to me, right?"

Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, patted the depressed Liu Qi gently and said comfortingly:
"Although you are wise and foolish, you live a simple life."

"Otherwise, there would be no reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing."

Liu Qi looked at his father who was comforting him with a melancholy look on his face.

"…Thank you so much, Father."

"It's my duty. I'm the old man after all."

"..."

……

【Wuzong of Tang, who was awakened by Empress Dowager Guo's words, began to want to be a wise ruler. 】

[In order to reorganize the court party that was close to him, he dismissed the prime ministers Yang Sifu and Li Jue who had supported Li Chengmei, and summoned Huainan Jiedushi Li Deyu to Beijing and appointed him as prime minister.]

[Li Deyu was the son of Li Jifu, a famous prime minister in the late Tang Dynasty. He was a Hanlin scholar during the reign of Emperor Muzong. He served in several dynasties and was active in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty for more than 40 years. He was repeatedly demoted due to factional disputes and was an outstanding figure in the late Tang Dynasty.]

[The first thing Li Deyu did when he met Li Yan was to hope that the emperor could be open with the prime minister and trust him.]

[Please ask the Emperor to give him absolute trust, and the monarch and his subjects should work together to create a great cause. ]

[Unlike Emperor Wenzong, Emperor Wuzong was good at employing and judging people and listened to their advice.]

[The two hit it off immediately, and the first thing the emperor and his ministers did together was to liquidate the eunuch Qiu Shiliang]

　Li Yan, such a good emperor, had to take elixirs.
