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

Chapter 320 Emperor Yizong of Tang Li Yu

Tang Xuanzong period
A golden light fell.

Li Chen looked at the "Jade Box of the Same Style as Emperor Xianzong" with a gloomy expression.

……

Late Han Dynasty.

The three of them took a look at Li Chen's reward in the sky and sighed.

The Tang Dynasty is like sitting on a furnace, so what good can the little things it gives us?
Cao Cao poured a glass of wine for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang respectively and said slowly...

"I think I understand."

"The only thing that makes Xuanzong better than Wuzong is his age and length of reign."

"No one else can compare to Wu Zong."

Liu Bei looked at the wine glass in front of him without saying anything. Zhuge Liang beside him glanced at him without saying anything either.

Cao Cao was talking to himself
"The greatest achievement of Emperor Xuanzong's reign was the conquest of the Hexi Corridor, but that was mainly due to Zhang Yichao."

"The military of Emperor Wuzong defeated the Uighurs and Khitans, supported the Xiajiansi, and eliminated the threat from the northern steppes."

"He was already planning to retake Hexi, but unfortunately he died halfway through."

The foreheads of the two people opposite twitched slightly.

"The rest, such as the use of people to govern the country, are all lackluster."

"If this man stays in office for another ten years, he will just be patching up a dilapidated house."

"If people can't live in it anymore, what's the point of repairing it? It's better to tear it down and rebuild it."

"Xuan De, Kong Ming, what do you two think?"

Liu Bei snorted and was about to speak when Zhuge Liang interrupted him.

"King Wei, even if we demolish and rebuild, we need the consent of the owner."

"To take something without asking is to be considered a thief, let alone to tear down someone's ancestral house."

"The owner agreed, but I'm afraid the relatives are unhappy."

"Are you going to slaughter everyone in the master's family?"

Cao Cao paused, holding the wine glass.

"Kong Ming, your words are good."

……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
"Xuanzong was born out of wedlock, and he succeeded the eldest son as the younger one. His usurpation of the throne was not legitimate."

Zhao Xu, dressed in red official uniform, always felt that these words were particularly harsh.

He sat upright on the throne and glanced at the scholar with a resolute look on his face.

Then he looked at Sima Guang standing beside him.

'What kind of talent are you recommending?'

"Ahem, Meng De! Your Majesty is asking what are the advantages and disadvantages of Xuanzong's policies that can be picked up and implemented."

Fan Zuyu glanced at Sima Guang, who kept blinking, and didn't know what he was going to do.

"Is Zuo Pushe feeling unwell?"

Sima Guang took a deep breath.

Now I understand why you didn't make any further progress for fifteen years after you passed the imperial examination.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and took over the conversation.

"Mr. Fan can speak his mind and say whatever he wants."

Fan Zuyu glanced at Sima Guang, who was keeping his eyes closed, suppressed his doubts, and said loudly:
"Xuanzong was born out of wedlock! His succession to the throne is not legitimate!"

Zhao Xu: …

Sima Guang:......

“This is not false.”

"In the fourth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong tried his best to suppress the eunuchs who were his enemies and confiscated their property."

"However, upon his succession, Emperor Xuanzong not only did not continue Emperor Wuzong's policies, but instead erected a monument to commemorate the eunuchs, whose hands were stained with the blood of court officials and the royal family, and to protect their cronies."

"If the Qiu family eunuchs had not made great contributions in the struggle for the throne at the end of Huichang, Emperor Xuanzong would never have treated them with such courtesy."

"In the sixth year of Huichang, he was supported by the eunuchs and Hanlin, who tried their best to conceal it but showed more favoritism."

"Because Li Deyu and his people suppressed the inner court and took away the military power of the imperial army, Huan Han hated them to the core and sought to restore power and promote those who agreed with him."

"When he first ascended the throne, he was eager to prove the legal principle, slandering Emperor Muzong for killing his father, and wanted to establish a false dynasty, fabricate a rebel party, and completely overthrow Huichang's policies."

"Wuzong eliminated redundant officials and reduced the number of county officials, so Xuanzong added hundreds of officials to the areas that were eliminated."

"Emperor Wuzong destroyed Buddhism to restore the financial system, and Emperor Xuanzong restored Buddhism to build temples, and the bells, chimes and Buddha statues that had been used to cast coins were recast."

"At the same time, the ban of Li Deyu was abolished, which led to the phenomenon of redundant officials and the promotion of Buddhism becoming more serious during the Dazhong period. The expenditure on official salaries was extremely high, and the financial burden was not enough to cover the expenditure, and Wuzong had no means to increase revenue."

"So they increased the collection of evaded taxes, additional taxes, and miscellaneous corvée services, causing the country, which had just recovered, to go from bad to worse."

"Exorbitant taxes and levies have accelerated the burden on farmers, and the annexation and escape of households by powerful people have intensified."

Sima Guang opened his eyes suddenly and was about to speak but Zhao Xu raised his hand to stop him.

When I glanced at him, I saw that the emperor had a blank expression on his face.

Fan Zuyu was completely unaware and spoke his mind. "He used deception to control his subordinates, but he had no insight into people. He was deceived by Linghu Tao and others, and was bribed by his superiors. The more he covered his ears and eyes, the more he was not afraid to break the law and harm the people. On the surface, he was timid and fearful, but in private, he was fearless and sold official positions and titles."

"He also likes to visit officials incognito, and is known for his insight, but he often refuses to advise and demotes people. He is also known for his concern for the people, but he is unwilling to implement benevolent policies and reduce taxes for the hungry."

"He is stubborn, cunning and suspicious."

"The government and the people are corrupt and deceitful."

"He seems to be diligent in his work, but he actively sabotages the current situation. The more he is strict with small matters, the more corrupt he becomes."

"The young are wise but the old are deaf, the officials are corrupt but the people are poor, the wise are greedy but the foolish are dangerous, they are full of resentment but cannot speak, and their rise and fall cannot be controlled."

"Resurgence is the absence of major chaos, and governance is the destruction of vitality."

"The wars in eastern Zhejiang, Nanzhao, and Guilin were a disaster for Emperor Yizong."

"Mr. Ouyang said: 'When the Tang Dynasty fell, all the bandits were born during the reign of Emperor Taizong. The remaining virtues of Emperor Taizong have long been gone from the people!' This statement broke the truth!"

"Wise ministers are banished to death, incompetents are in office, heavy taxes and harsh punishments are imposed, and the whole country is in misery!"

"Xuanzong! You are only a county magistrate, not a ruler!

After the words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.

After a moment, Zhao Xu woke up as if from a dream.

"No wonder Sima Pushe recommended you. You are indeed intelligent and kind..."

Zhao Xu glanced strangely at Sima Guang, whose eyes were twitching.

"If you can't speak?"

Fan Zuyu smiled slightly, bowed to Zhao Xu and Sima Guang respectively, and said:

"I am a student of limited talent, but I dare not take on such a reputation."

Zhao Xu leaned back slightly and couldn't help but glance at Sima Guang, who had a helpless look on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Mr. Fan is very knowledgeable, so he will be the editor of the Secretariat first."

Fan Zuyu lifted the hem of his robe and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.

【Emperor Yizong of Tang Dynasty - Li Yu】

[In August 859 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang died of illness, and Wang Zongshi, the lieutenant of the Left Shen Ce Army, forged an imperial edict to establish Li Wen as the crown prince.]

[On the 13th, the 27-year-old Li Wen ascended the throne, later changed his name to Li Yi, known in history as Emperor Yizong of Tang, and changed the reign title to Xiantong.]

……

On the canopy.

Sparks appeared on the southeast side of the Tang Dynasty's territory.

The camera slowly moves forward, breaking through the clouds and crossing the mountains and rivers.

A strong man stood on the hillside and raised his arms and shouted.

Servants flock in!

Qiufu Uprising

……

[In December 859 AD, Qiu Fu in eastern Zhejiang rose up in rebellion.]

[Qiu Fu was born in Shan County, Zhejiang Province. He was born into a poor peasant family and made his living by selling illegal salt in his early years.]

[Because the Salt Gang clashed with local government officials along the Zhejiang coast, Qiu Fu led his people to occupy Xiangshan County and declared an uprising.]

[The rebels repeatedly defeated the government troops, forcing "Mingzhou city gates to be closed during the day" and "unrest in eastern Zhejiang"]

[In the first month of 860 AD, the rebel army took advantage of the victory to capture Shan County, "opened the government treasury, recruited strong men, and the number of people reached several thousand"]

[At this time, the people in eastern Zhejiang were "unaccustomed to fighting, their armor and weapons were worn out and dull, and there were less than 300 soldiers in sight"]

[Zhedong Surveillance Commissioner Zheng Zhide recruited 500 new soldiers and marched to Shan County to fight the rebels in Shanxi. The government troops were ambushed and defeated, with almost all of them killed.]

[Various rebel forces active in the mountains, forests and islands, as well as refugees from various places, gathered here, with a total of 30,000 people, divided into 32 teams.]

[Qiu Fu claimed to be the military commander of the whole world, established the reign title as Luoping, and cast a seal named "Tianping"]

[He gathered a large amount of food and materials, recruited skilled workers to make equipment, and his reputation spread across the Central Plains.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Something is wrong!
Twelve out of ten things are wrong!
Liu Che stroked his beard and pondered in his heart.

He understood that the price of salt was not cheap under the court's monopoly, so the business of private salt trafficking came into being.

But the key is that it's so smooth.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Liu Che didn't believe that he alone could "raise his arms and call for action". There must be other hidden forces behind him.

"Salt Gang..."

"Fanzhen..."

A flash of inspiration came into my mind!
The powerful people colluded with the feudal lords to control the salt profits!
……

Datang.

Everyone in the hall felt a jolt in their hearts!
This is a sign of the country’s demise!
……

　It’s almost time. The Tang Dynasty will be over.
