Chapter 26 Jane and Extravagance Advantages and Disadvantages
Li Longji looked at Pei Min with emotion.
It is a great appeal to an emperor like Li Longji.
Especially Li Longji had a blood that was very happy to benevolent in his bones. In order to be very happy to benevolent, he even did something to destroy the Great Wall.
Facing Pei Min, one of his most trusted confidants, Li Longji did not hide anything at all and said bluntly: "If possible, it will not only be powerful in the present, but also be famous for the ages..."
Pei Min didn't expect Li Longji to give such an answer, and was a little stunned. Seeing Li Longji's serious expression, he smiled bitterly: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. How can you not understand this principle?"
Li Longji smiled dryly and said, "Jingyuan said straight, I'm just joking with you."
Pei Min complained in her heart, just that serious expression, and a wool smile.
He calmed down the divine saying: "It is actually very simple to shock the contemporary times, and this history is always the first. For example, Qin Shihuang, it is true that the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, but the Han Dynasty was actually the Han Dynasty. The First Emperor conquered the world with his might, but he did not achieve the world's heart. Liu Bang used his kindness and power to combine it with the virtue of Wen and Jing, which led to the world's heart. But when it comes to the merits of unification, the world always said that the First Emperor, and it would not be Emperor Gaozu of Han, nor was it the second Emperor Wen and Jing."
"The reason is that Emperor First Emperor, as he is, is the first emperor in the world, and the first one will always belong to him."
Li Longji was fascinated by Qin Shihuang's great achievements, and even had some delusions: he wondered whether Ruo himself would become the number one in that era?
Pei Min said: "From ancient times, this Fengshan has been a first-class event. So far, the emperors who are truly qualified to participate in Fengshan and have real actions include the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu of Han, and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty..."
In fact, there are still many emperors in history who have been Fengshan Mountain. Pei Min personally thinks they are not qualified, such as Emperor An Liu Hu, Emperor Zhang Liu Xuan of Han, and as for the Fengshan of Qin II Hu Hai, it is funny.
In fact, there is another person who is qualified, but Pei Min didn't say it.
In the fifteenth year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen Yang Jian opened an altar to worship Mount Tai.
Yang Jian's achievements in Kaihuang's reign were really surprising, but because it was the previous dynasty, Pei Min chose to be more conservative and gave him up.
"From the perspective of pomp, these wise lords all attached great importance to Fengshan. In order to show their caution, the First Emperor specially summoned all the Confucian scholars in Lu to examine the Fengshan etiquette. Later, they set up their own ritual system and renovated the mountain road, which was extremely large in scale."
"Emperor Wu of Han was even more so. He not only gave Mount Tai, but also gave cattle, sheep, wine, cloth, etc., and was exempted from annual rent in Gao, Licheng and other places, and was exempted from the world. Wherever his emperor's carriage passed, he was exempted from all labor. He also built official residences for the princes in Mount Tai, so that they could welcome Mount Tai to stay in Fengshan... Eight times, adding a lot of burden to the country. But at that time, it was a sensational scene."
"As for Emperor Guangwu, when it comes to his achievements, Emperor Guangwu is not inferior to another Emperor Wu. His martial arts may be worse, but his civil rule is undoubtedly better. However, his Fengshan was unknown and criticized. Why? In fact, his Fengshan was not as powerful as Emperor Qin Shi, nor as scene as Emperor Wu, so his natural response was mediocre."
Li Longji couldn't help but nodded, and it was indeed the case.
Emperor Guangwu of Han was indeed commendable, but his Fengshan effect was not as good as not to be sealed.
Pei Min said here with a little excitement: "But when it comes to Fengshan, it was during our reign of Emperor Gaozong. Emperor Gaozong's Fengshan team was very large. Not only did the Chinese civil and military officials participate, but he also ordered the governors and governors from all over the country to gather in Mount Tai, the whole world, to promote talent, or to destroy the reputation of the secluded villages, or to hide the weapons and send them to Yue Mu."
"It's not just that. His Majesty Gaozong's civil and military ceremonial guards were endless, and people were everywhere. There were Turks, Khotan, Persia, Tianzhu, Japan, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and more than 30 envoys from various vassal states were also accompanied by them. The roads of cattle, alpaca and horses were blocked, which was unprecedentedly spectacular. Even the water and fire used in Fengshan were different. Fire was taken from the sun and water and the moon, which were not used by ordinary people."
"When I think about it now, I can't help but fascinate!" Pei Min said with a look of yearning.
Li Longji's face looked a little ugly. Pei Min just took Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu of Han as an example.
Now I talk about the show of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Emperor Gaozong of Tang, which is much more grand than Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Guangwu of Han learned from the criticism of Emperor Wu of Han. If he learned from Emperor Gaozong, would he repeat the same mistake or?
Li Longji is really hard to predict about this future.
Seeing that Li Longji's face became heavier and he said, "So if Your Majesty wants to be awesome in the contemporary era, your pomp and momentum must be higher than Emperor Gaozong, otherwise someone will inevitably use it to compare with Emperor Gaozong."
Li Longji said for a while: "It's not easy to overwhelm our ancestors!"
These days he has also studied Fengshan culture and is well aware of the great popularity of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. If he wants to imitate, he can only get a result of inserting green onions from his nose.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty was the second year of Linde, which was the most powerful period of Emperor Gaozong.
Emperor Gaozong was able to achieve such momentum with the foundation laid by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong.
Now he has only been in power for twelve years and has only been in power for ten years. How can he compare to the Gaozong Dynasty after the two great rulers and developments of Zhenguan and Yonghui?
Pei Min said: "I also know this truth well. But if you don't overly the striking momentum of Emperor Gaozong, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to win the present. After all, Linde has only been sixty years since the second year of Linde. Not to mention anything else, the gray elders at the foot of Mount Taishan in the two capitals will all tell their descendants. This Fengshan is far less than that of Emperor Gaozong."
Emperor Gaozong of Tang had a very high evaluation in this era. In order to promote Wu Zetian, the first queen, the television art of later generations specially weakened Li Zhi's ability and described him as a weak emperor and an emperor who relied on his wife to become a weapon.
In fact, Li Zhi was an emperor who underestimated a lot. When he was in power, Wu Zetian could not cause any storm.
On TV, Wu Zetian fights Changsun Wuji, Queen of Kings, Concubine Xiao Shu, and is extremely powerful...
The fact is that Emperor Gaozong of Tang used Wu Zetian to defeat Changsun Wuji, the elder of the three dynasties who monopolized the government, and he had real power. Instead of Wu Zetian himself fighting the old fox Changsun Wuji with his talent.
It is true that Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were defeated by Wu Zetian.
But Li Zhichao and Li Zhi were the only masters.
Li Zhibao Wang Fangyi, and Wang Fangyi had a prosperous official career.
Wu Zetian gritted his teeth at this rival brother who hated him, but there was no way out.
Wu Zetian was most interested in Li Yifu, Yuan Gongyu and Cui Yixuan. Li Zhi dealt with them in every move. He was demoted and died. Wu Zetian was powerless, and he didn't even have the qualification to defend them, and could not change everything.
Wu Zetian bullied her incompetent son Li Xian to the throne, and it was not Li Zhi at all.
Not only did she not help Li Zhi, but Li Zhi obeyed her.
Only in the last few years did Li Zhi suffer from severe wind gloom and his eyes could not see anything. Wu Zetian became Li Zhi's eyes, and then he took the initiative from Li Zhi.
The facts can also be seen, what the Tang Dynasty looked like when Li Zhi was in power: the four barbarians surrendered, destroyed the Western Turks, destroyed Baekje, destroyed Goguryeo, conquered the Western Regions, the territory started from the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea in the west, the Lake Baikal in the north, and the Hengshan in Vietnam in the south...
And what about Wu Zetian's succession?
The Western Regions were lost, and although they were finally recaptured, they still beat Tubo to cry and call her parents.
The Northeast was lost, allowing the Khitan in its original state to destroy 300,000 troops, and lost Liaodong and western Liaoning. The Andong Protectorate in the Northeast ran from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo to Hebei, the founding of the Bohai Sea, and the rise of the Khitan. It was not until the Li Longji period that it recovered.
As for the Turks in the north, which were repeatedly abused by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong, they were honored to restore the country to Wu Zetian, and even married the barbarians as their prince, and suffered unprecedented shame since ancient times. As a result, Wu Yanxiu was detained and the Turks invaded on a large scale.
The Tang Dynasty was in the hands of Li Zhi, and there was only Tubo, the opponent.
When it came to Wu Zetian's hands, they lost their troops and were defeated. In less than fifty years, the great defeat recorded in historical books lost nearly one million soldiers, and the foundation of the glorious Tang Dynasty was almost half defeated by Wu Zetian.
It is said that Wu Zetian is stronger than Li Zhi, but she is purely blind.
The only thing that is worthy of Wu Zetian is civilized and political, but how could Li Zhi's Yonghui rule be inferior?
In Pei Min's eyes, Wu Zetian's greatest contribution was to solve the problems of the gentry.
Her ability myth is just because she is the number one queen in China. Aside from the extra points of a woman's identity, she is only evaluated by the civil and military skills of an emperor. Wu Zetian is really not very powerful compared to the wise ruler in history.
However, although Li Zhi is not weak, he is extremely strong, but there is still a certain gap compared to his father Li Shimin.
Li Longji's goal has always been Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, rather than the inferior Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi.
This makes people say that it is worse than Li Zhi, but Li Longji can't accept it, and his face is depressed.
Li Longji didn't want to say too much about this issue. He was still Kaiyuan Mingjun and had a certain understanding of his economic situation. At this moment, the economy was not allowed to hold a grand Fengshan ceremony like Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. He forced himself to say, "What should I say if I have been famous for all ages?"
Pei Min stretched out a finger and smiled and said, "One word is simplified. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people's livelihood, does not want to disturb the people, and does not want to increase the burden on the people. The show can be simple, and the show can be avoided. Use the simplest and most solemn attitude to complete this Fengshan. This move spreads, Your Majesty's act of loving the people and serving the people will be praised by the world and loved by the people. Even if a thousand years later, a wise monarch and lord like Your Majesty will appear, and they intend to be Fengshan. If you pay attention to extravagant appearance, the world will definitely take Your Majesty as an example to make a sharp contrast."
"But if he chooses to be the best, he is just a way to pick up the wisdom of Your Majesty. People in the world will say that he has the power of Your Majesty. Isn't this famous for all ages and always remembered by the world?"
When Li Longji heard this, he couldn't tell what Pei Min's intention was?
It’s just that his approach is twists and turns around the boss.
Of course the effect is significant!
This twists and turns is more effective than any big truth.
