The current situation of the Tang Dynasty was very strange. There were either prosperity or decline in dynasties. The easiest way to identify prosperity and decline was to see whether their army was strong, whether the temple was stable, and whether the political system had collapsed. As long as the army, temple, and political system collapsed, if the three appeared, it would almost sound the alarm bell for the demise of the dynasty.

But at this time, the Tang Dynasty was weak and the temple was in chaos. The second was the three points, but the political system was intact.

The main reason for this strange situation is that Wu Zetian: Wu Zetian is afraid of the generals taking power, threatened her throne, and killed a large number of famous generals who could fight before and after becoming emperor, which led to a sharp turn in the Tang Dynasty during its peak. He also ascended the throne as an emperor, which made the court change repeatedly in recent years. The emperor, prince, and ministers purged it all over the world. In just ten years

Before, he had already experienced two major coups and two major purges of Shenlong and Tanglong. Even now, there was still the idea that the princess was stronger than the emperor, and the Supreme Emperor was unwilling to delegate power and even intended to abolish the emperor, and the court became a mess. At the same time, Wu Zetian, as the only orthodox female emperor in history, did have extraordinary means. She performed the imperial examinations and relied on poor families to appoint Lou Shide and Di Renjie, so that the politics was clear and the people lived and worked in peace.

Because of this, the current Tang Dynasty has weak military affairs and chaos in the government, but the people are unexpectedly rich in life. Just like the common people living a comfortable life, watching the gods fighting on their top, they don’t care about it.

It seems nothing happened, but in fact this situation is terrible. Because it means that the people have lost their centripetal force to the country and their awe of the Li Tang royal family. They are not confused because they have food and drink, but if they lose these, chaos will come.

For some reason, what Guo Yuanzhen said is not bad, but the political collapse that ultimately maintained peace in the world almost meant the arrival of a chaotic world.

Guo Yuanzhen's far-sighted vision made Pei Min secretly admire him. He had such an idea because he learned from history, and Guo Yuanzhen realized this truth based on his own talent.

"I think that my Tang Dynasty is now in a subtle position. As Buddhism says, I think of becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha. There is a mountain on the left, but an abyss on the right. Our many strengths such as our science and technology, economy and population are far superior to those of the surrounding foreign races. What is inferior is only military shortcomings. As long as there is a stable court situation, we can fully carry out military affairs with a stable economy, and cultivate soldiers and generals who dare to fight and can fight, it is not difficult to pull out strong troops to defend our country. As long as we are willing to invest and train a hundred battles to expand our territory, it is only a matter of time. No matter how difficult it is, can we still be through the Taizong period?"

During the period when Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had no money, no population, no economy, no economy, no food, no food, no food, and no food, and the world was unstable. Even so, Li Tang still survived and made the Zhenguan Dynasty. The current Tang Dynasty has stable economy and rich people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What is the reason why they cannot afford to recruit an army?

Guo Yuanzhen clapped and praised: "It is true, I am a devil, and I am a Buddha. It is said well, but I am said so well." He stopped and applauded and said: "Your vision is not inferior to me. In your opinion, can Princess Taiping bear such an important task?"

Pei Min shook her head. Princess Taiping's plan and power schemes are indeed outstanding, but her little girl's mind is a fatal weakness. Those who achieve great things must have broad minds and tolerance before they are accomplished. Ability is not the most important thing for a superior. Having a mind that embraces all rivers and knowing people and making good use of them is the key. Liu Bang is the best example.

Guo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Then what do you think of His Majesty today?"

Pei Min finally understood Guo Yuanzhen's intention. His feelings about Li Longji were very complicated. Li Longji was wise and decisive in the early stage, rectified the chaos, wiped out the Wei Wu rebellion, and killed Princess Taiping. After taking power, he valued the political use of prime ministers Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuoling, Zhang Jiuling, brought the Tang Dynasty on the right track, and used generals such as Wang Zhongsi, Geshu Han, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing to expand their territory and pushed the Tang Dynasty to its peak. It is no exaggeration to say that the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period was the strongest in the entire Tang Dynasty. However, this kind of strength was not an exaggeration.

Not long after Li Longji founded a prosperous era, he began to be satisfied. He indulged in pleasure and promoted himself to famous prime ministers like Lin Fu and Yang Guozhong. He also trusted An Lushan excessively and caused the Anshi Rebellion to explode. The Anshi Rebellion was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's decline from prosperity and also prompted the Tang Dynasty to enter the situation of separatist rule of the vassal states. At this point, the Tang Dynasty was deeply trapped in the quagmire. Although the country's fortune had not yet been broken, there were also outstanding heroes such as Emperor Xianzong of Tang, Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but they were just surviving.

The Anshi Rebellion was not like the general trend of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. There was no way to do anything. The entire crime was caused by his people's death. It is said that Li Longji created the most comprehensive strength of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and pushed the Tang Dynasty into a swamp mud pond that could not be turned over.

However, during this period, Li Longji was indeed wise and wise, especially when he was young, he led the Tanglong coup and forced his father Li Dan to the throne.

Pei Min could only say: "Your Majesty is indeed a promising master today. At least in his heart, he is much better than Princess Taiping."

Guo Yuanzhen looked at Pei Min with hope and said, "Then are you willing to help Your Majesty with the power of your arm?"

Pei Min had almost no hesitation and nodded: "Learn from literature and martial arts and sells it to the imperial family. Pei Min dared not to serve his life!"

Guo Yuanzhen slapped his legs and laughed, "Okay, that's great!"

Pei Min clasped her fists and said, "I don't know what I need to do?"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled indifferently: "At present, your qualifications and status are too low, and you have no place to use it, but don't worry, as long as you have the will to serve your country, there will be a time when you need you."

Pei Min looked at Guo Yuanzhen suspiciously, knowing that what he said was not the truth, but he didn't care so much.

Guo Yuanzhen said: "I have investigated the matter of martial arts clearly. I didn't expect you to be quite troublesome. Lu Zangyong, Chang Yuankai, and Li Ci were all involved. Princess Taiping's confidant, you will offend three of them, which is also amazing."

Pei Min touched his nose awkwardly and said, "It must have been Lu Zangyong who was instigated by others and participated. As for Chang Yuankai, I slapped his son in the face and participated in the instigation. But Li Ci, I really don't know where I offended him."

Guo Yuanzhen explained: "Li Ci is a relative of Dou Chen, a member of the Ministry of War, and Chang Yuankai is Li Ci's boss. It is normal to get together. How about it? Do you want me to vent your anger?"

Pei Min shook his head and smiled, "No need, the eldest princess gave me a lesson just now, which made me understand something. To deal with people who are far above you, either put him to death. Or do nothing honestly."
