Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Take a ride on the singing rickshaw. I'll take you there next time." Xiao Ran didn't dare to imagine what the officials and ministers would think if they brought the rickshaw to the Tang Dynasty.

The little princess Li Mingda was curious, "What song was sung? Is it a folk song? Or the kind sung at palace banquets?"

Xiao Ran didn't explain, but said seriously, "It's a song that makes people remember it endlessly."

Anyone who listens to it can’t help but have it running through their heads.

"Sir, Her Royal Highness Princess Changle has returned to the palace." The maid beside Queen Changsun approached and said softly.

The little princess Li Mingda urged with a smile, "Hurry up and see my sister."

Xiao Ran took out two candies and gave them to her, "Then I'll leave first."

Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, who was already in the palace, happened to look up and saw Xiao Ran. She lowered her head nervously subconsciously.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time.

Xiao Ran has been busy with Da Qin's list for a long time. Now when he sees Li Lizhi again, a flash of surprise flashes in his eyes.

Immediately, Xiao Ran protected her in front of him.

Xiao Ran was speechless, "There is no need for someone to look after the house in this house. Let's leave first. If aunt doesn't come, you can take care of the food yourself."

Immediately, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi disappeared into the hall.

"If you like something, you can just go up and take a photo. I brought a camera and you can take the photos back when you go back."

"Here are all the cartoons designed for children and teenagers from overseas countries, and the characters in them will be interpreted by real people." Xiao Ran introduced her softly.

The time with Xiao Ran is always short.

disney.

In front of Empress Changsun, Li Lizhi was still a little shy. She nodded slightly, "Okay."

"If you like it, come back next time."

It wasn't until she saw the dreamy gate of Disney that Li Lizhi's eyes fell on the outside world.

"Don't worry, it will be sent back safe and sound."

Li Lizhi suddenly laughed out loud, "You seem to have taken me to the amusement park three times."

After her previous outings, Li Lizhi quickly adapted to the Disney environment. She wore Tang Dynasty costumes, attracting many little girls who wanted to take photos with her.

A little embarrassed, Xiao Ran explained.

Xiao Ran noticed her nervousness, "Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

"Princess, I didn't think about what I could invite you to see. I can't take you to see our flag raising here early in the morning."

……

After playing around all day, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi arrived at the viewing area of ​​the fireworks show.

"Okay." Li Lizhi agreed.

There were many tourists who wanted to watch the fireworks show, so Li Lizhi was squeezed to Xiao Ran's side, and their clothes were close to each other.

It is a place that little girls can easily fall in love with. You can also take photos as souvenirs, and there is a grand fireworks show at night.

Xiao Ran did not directly say the destination, and Li Lizhi beside him was very quiet and did not ask, as if it was fine to follow Xiao Ran wherever he went.

Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran subconsciously, and after hesitating for a moment, she agreed.

Li Lizhi couldn't help but sigh: "It's so magical."

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and smiled.

"I know I'm still very young here, but I still want to say that I'm really lucky to have met you."

"Princess, last time you invited me to hang out in the palace and see the prosperous age of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. This time I will invite you to see interesting places." Xiao Ran said.

This sentence shocked Xiao Ran. When he thought about it carefully, he actually played it three times, although the positions were different.

The teenage years are the time when the body grows, and obvious changes occur in the blink of an eye.

Empress Changsun's eyes were gentle, she smiled and joked, "Xiao Ran, don't let the princess get lost."

The fireworks show lasted for half an hour, and there were many tricks.

"It's time to go back." Li Lizhi murmured.

boom!
The first bouquet of fireworks rose and the fireworks show officially began.

"Look at that furry body over there, inside are the staff here."

The surrounding lights went out at this moment, Li Lizhi's cheeks felt a little hot, and she was glad that Xiao Ran couldn't see her expression.

Her eyes were full of surprise, she had never seen anything like this before.

Li Lizhi looked up, but unconsciously thought of the distance between the two.

"it is good."

She bent her eyes and looked at Xiao Ran, "I am willing to see the scenery you have seen."

After taking Li Lizhi out of the house, Xiao Ran thought about today's itinerary.

Jimo ancient city
Seeing Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi coming back together, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You go out and have fun, and I will look after your house."

If it weren't for Xiao Ran, she would have been the princess of Changle who died at the age of twenty-three in history.

Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and patted her head, "It's fate that we met. There will be a long time to come."

Xiao Ran's mood is a little complicated now.

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin's matchmaking and teasing, he always dealt with it and regarded Li Lizhi as his younger sister.

But Xiao Ran didn't know how to answer Li Lizhi's sincere words.

Li Lizhi didn't have the temperament to embarrass others, so she took a half step back and said, "Little Master, it's getting late, let's go back."

After sending Li Lizhi back to the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Ran returned home and saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma who had been waiting for a long time.

Empress Ma was helpless, "Chongba, what are you worried about about Xiaoran and Princess Tang?"

"We are Xiao Ran's family, so of course we have to worry about marriage." Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Queen Ma over because he wanted to hear Xiao Ran talk about Li Lizhi.

Xiao Ran said: "Auntie, uncle, Princess Changle is not old enough to talk about these things, and I have always regarded her as my sister."

He sighed, always suspecting that Li Lizhi was misled by other people's ideas.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "You are the only one who wants someone to be your sister. Why, you want to call Emperor Taizong Li Shimin father! I won't agree!"

Empress Ma slapped Zhu Yuanzhang on the arm and stared, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Xiao Ran recognize the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as his father?"

"Oh, we are just outspoken, sister, don't be impatient." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly explained.

Xiao Ran almost laughed out loud, "Uncle, please don't talk nonsense."

"Don't try to mediate matters between Li Lizhi and me. Just let nature take its course."

Empress Ma said softly: "Xiao Ran is right, you can't force emotional matters. If you want to be a sister, just be a sister. If it doesn't work out in the end, then you have another relative."

"Chongba, please stop interfering."

The last sentence is a stern warning to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Okay, okay, we don't care about you and Princess Tang." The family was talking lively, and Xiao Ran felt relaxed.

As soon as I lay down to rest, the jade started to sparkle.

"Is there a new mission at night?" Xiao Ran was puzzled as this was the first time he received a mission at night.

Now the company has Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shimin, Liu Bang, and Qin Shihuang. Logically speaking, the list will not be found on his head.

Xiao Ran clicked on it and saw that it was still Datang's list.

"Why didn't Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty accept it?"

[Customer: Tang Dezong Li Shi]

[Time: the fourth year of Jianzhong (783 AD)]

[Customer demand: I regret it! I don’t want to die! Can someone come and deal with the rebels outside Chang'an City? 】

[Remuneration: one thousand taels of gold]

Unexpectedly, it was Li Shi's mission. At this time, it was indeed critical, but waiting one more night was not a big problem.

Xiao Ran fell asleep.

The rebels did not attack the city that quickly, and the cause of the rebellion was also caused by Li Shi himself.

……

Xiao Ran slept until noon and was about to have breakfast when he met Tang Taizong Li Shimin with a solemn expression.

"I had an order show up here last night, and I came to you to ask about the situation." Before Xiao Ran could ask, Li Shimin directly told the reason for coming.

Xiao Ran said: "Is it the order from Tang Dezong Li Shi?"

"Yes, who are the rebels he is talking about? Why did the rebels suddenly appear?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

"Let's talk about it. It's a long story. Don't rush it. I'll talk to you after I eat." Xiao Ran waved his hand and spoke calmly.

Li Shimin didn't urge him after hearing this.

After Xiao Ran had eaten and drank enough, the two sat on the sofa and started talking about business.

Xiao Ran clicked on Li Shi's order again and said with some emotion: "Cutting down the feudal clan, and almost losing your life in the end. You really can't slash the feudal clan at will if you don't have any strength."

"There were many vassal kings in the Tang Dynasty, and it was normal for the emperor to want to reduce the vassal status." Li Shimin also agreed to reduce the vassal status.

"Of course we have to cut down the vassal. If the vassal king is too strong, he will endanger the position of the emperor. This is the man. We must act according to our ability and leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood."

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"Li Shi was the tenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After experiencing the Anshi Rebellion, he was established as the prince."

"Subsequently, his father Tang Daizong died of illness. He succeeded to the throne safely and was honored by the officials as the Holy God Civil and Military Emperor."

He had an honorary title inexplicably, which must mean that he was the emperor Li Shi.

Li Shimin frowned, "Is he a mediocre person?"

"No, after Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, came to the throne, he appointed wise ministers from the Qing Dynasty, and the world gradually became rejuvenated. Unfortunately, the wise minister died of illness not long after, and Yang Yan was replaced as the prime minister."

"When Yang Yan came to power, he basically destroyed all the previous actions of the wise ministers. He focused on personal interests. He was implicated in framing officials and was demoted. Li Shi changed to another prime minister. In just two years, he served as prime minister three times. "

It's a bit strange to say that.

Xiao Ran continued: "The new prime minister went even further, catering to all the ideas of Emperor Dezong Li Shi of the Tang Dynasty, framed loyal ministers, and increased the taxes on the people in order to help Li Shi raise military pay. The world was full of complaints."

"So, Li Shi started to cut down the feudal vassals."

"It's too hasty, and it will increase taxes on the people, and the consequences will be extremely serious. Why does he insist on reducing the vassal state at this time?" Li Shimin didn't understand. If he wants to reduce the vassal state, he should wait until the world is stable and has sufficient strength.

Xiao Ran slowly explained, "This may be related to his experience in the Anshi Rebellion."

This was not the first time Li Shimin heard about the Anshi Rebellion, "What does this have to do with the Anshi Rebellion?"

"In November of the 14th year of Tianbao, when Li Shi was 14 years old, the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Then Chang'an fell, Tang Xuanzong fled to Sichuan, and Li Shi personally experienced the war. Daizong ascended the throne. Appointed Li Shi as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and granted Lu King, the mission of the final decisive battle with the Anshi rebels was changed to King Yong, and he went out to control Shaanzhou."

"It can be said that without Li Shi, the Anshi Rebellion might not have been able to be quelled."

"It was precisely because he personally put down the Anshi Rebellion that he realized that the vassal kings were a threat to the emperor's position."

"The Anshi Rebellion was caused not only by treacherous ministers and the emperor's greed for pleasure, but also by a bombshell that had been hidden for many years."

Xiao Ran said, looking a little serious.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of any reason.

"How to say?"

"The land equalization system and the government army system in the Tang Dynasty were destroyed. Starting from Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the government army system had to be replaced by the military recruitment system. And these recruited people were bribed by local powerful people, forming an inseparable relationship. In Kaiyuan Later, the imperial court established a military envoy system at the border, and their power increased, resulting in them owning the people, military power, taxes, and land, just like the emperor. "

After a pause, Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin, "Guess how many soldiers were on the border during the Anshi Rebellion."

The imperial army will be stationed in various places in a rational distribution, and the border defense is the place with the largest number of people.

Li Shimin said: "One hundred thousand people will be stationed at the border for a long time, and some of them will be arranged near the border to facilitate timely reinforcements."

“In the first year of Tianbao, the number of border troops reached 490,000, accounting for more than 85% of the total number of troops in the country. They were concentrated in the northeast and northwest borders. The number of troops controlled by An Lushan reached 150,000. The imperial army is vulnerable in terms of numbers and strength. "

"This also created the Anshi Rebellion."

If the imperial court had not been strong enough, the vassal king would not have been strong enough to start a civil war.

Li Shimin was shocked. He really didn't expect there would be so many soldiers.

Even if I have heard before that Jiedushi is equivalent to the Tu Emperor.

"So, Li Shi learned a lesson from the Anshi Rebellion and decided to reduce the vassal status."

"In order to get rid of the shortcomings of father-to-son inheritance in the vassal town and not obeying the orders of the court, we chose to use force to cut down the vassal. We won the initial victory. Liang Chongyi of Shannan and Li Weiyue of Chengde were awarded the heads, but Wei Bo Tianyue was severely damaged. The remaining generals surrendered one after another. The imperial court took them into their hands. The land was divided into three, weakening the strength."

"Judging from the results, Li Shi's reduction of vassal states was successful. However, Li Shi's use of vassal towns to fight against vassal towns made many Jiedu envoys who participated in the imperial court's campaign to reduce vassal states dissatisfied."

"This also resulted in some vassal kings choosing to join forces, and even Jiedu envoys claiming to be kings."

Xiao Ran shrugged and said, "However, this rebellion did not directly replace Tang Dezong. That is why I am not in a hurry to get over it."

"Chang'an cannot be captured in one day, so we have just enough time to get there."

"Let's go and see together."

……

The fourth year of Jianzhong
Changan
Shangyang Palace

"Your Majesty, the rebels outside Chang'an City are clamoring again, what should we do!" The pale-faced Queen Zhaode grabbed the dragon robe of Tang Dezong Li Shi. She was afraid that the rebels would break into Chang'an City, and then she would Facing death.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt on the ground, feeling desperate.

The rebels were coming with force. After they invaded Chang'an City, those in the palace had absolutely no way to survive.

Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shi, pushed away Empress Zhaode irritably, and said loudly: "Where are the guards in the palace! Those who want to survive, cheer up and follow me to fight your way out!"

Today was already the third day of the rebel siege, and he had no way out.

Officials in the DPRK fled and surrendered, but few really cared about the death of his emperor. (End of chapter)
