Chapter 8 Shameless Li Longji
Pei Min was shocked by Li Longji's bragging.
Although Li Longji said it is indeed true, the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty today can turn the Zhenguan Dynasty into a street.
But the accounts are not settled in this way.
Why did the Zhenguan reign call it a miracle to later generations?
To put it in detail, there are not many kings who can compare with Li Shimin, but the Zhenguan rule seems particularly high-end?
It is because there is no emperor with equal achievements as much as his, and the country's environment is difficult for Li Shimin to govern.
Needless to say, Qin Shihuang had fought for the six generations and was almost the sum of the six Eastern countries when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne.
Emperor Wu of Han received decades of business exhibitions by Emperor Wen and Jing, which was also a prosperous country and strong people.
As for the Ming Chengzu, who took over the Ming Dynasty, which had been stable through Zhu Yuanzhang's development, although four years of internal strife during the period, it did not cause a nationwide disaster.
But what Li Shimin took over was the mess left by Yang Guang.
Of course, later generations like to put all kinds of gold on Yang Guang's face, saying that Li Tang enjoyed his success. Even more funny later generations said that the defeat of the Sui Dynasty became the people of the world offended the aristocratic race. In order to reflect Yang Guang's love for the people, some TV shows the scene of the people's rich life.
This is simply a big deal of the world.
If the people live a wealthy life, they will break their hands and feet with a laugh and become disabled in order to escape labor.
Or is it because life is so good that I have nothing to do, so I can make a comeback?
There have been many peasant uprisings in China for thousands of years, but the peasant uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty were undoubtedly the largest, most times, and the longest-lasting and most destructive.
From June of the sixth year of Daye, Sui Dynasty, the Wei Wentong Uprising began, the Wang Wanchang Uprising, the Wagang Peasant Uprising, the Zhai Rang Uprising, the Wang Bo Uprising, the Liu Badao Uprising, the Hao Xiaode Uprising, the Geqian Uprising, the Chen Tian, Liang Huishang, Li Saner Uprising, the Zhu Xie Uprising, the Guan Chong Uprising, the Lu Mingxing Uprising, and the Xiang Haiming Uprising...
In just over a decade, rebels have spread all over the country, and there have been one or two hundred cases in detail...
These are the people who throw the pot to the aristocratic family?
The aristocratic family is indeed not pleasing, but they are not suitable for every pot.
The fact is that Yang Guang is indeed talented and cannot be regarded as a foolish monarch, but he is a tyrant, and he is a tyrant with extremely high IQ and great harm and irresponsibility.
He had ambitions, but he took too much steps and pulled the egg.
If Yang Guang was responsible, it would be impossible for the Sui Dynasty to save him.
The centipede insect died without being stiff, and the Sui Dynasty still had soldiers and generals. He was really a man who was trying to die. He saw that the world did not follow the direction he expected, but was in a mess. After giving up on himself, he became an ostrich and hid in Jiangdu and died in a drunken and dreamed of death, making the situation even more uncontrollable...
Yang Guang's ambition completely ruined the rich heritage left by Northern Zhou and his father, and the world's population was lost by three-quarters...
If this is all about enjoying the fruits.
Then Tuyuhun, what is the Turk?
Because the turbulent Chinese power was severely weakened, Tuyuhun returned to his former place and attacked Heyou of the Sui Dynasty. The counties and counties were difficult to resist, and the Turks even rose up, including some areas of the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty into the sphere of influence, and further breeded the consciousness of imitating Emperor Tuoba Daowu into the Central Plains. This made Huaxia exclaim that the strength of Diyi has never been like this since ancient times.
The ones who enjoyed their achievements were Tuyuhun and Turks, while Li Tang took over only one of them, which damaged nearly 50 million people.
It is true that Li Yuan was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty unified the world in the seventh year of Wude. In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin inherited the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Shimin was still facing a ruined world with a population of only two million households.
In ancient times, human power was wealth, and there was no way to do many things without human power.
Faced with the serious population shortage, Zhenguan was able to emphasize both civil and military affairs during the Zhenguan period. Not only did he have a clear political and economic development, but he also expanded to all directions, and the foreign war was almost completely victorious.
The only defeat was to beat Goryeo Ju. The Tang army captured half of the land and did not directly destroy Goguryeo. Li Shimin was ashamed of a great humiliation.
The reason why the Zhenguan rule was called a miracle was not because Li Shimin's achievements were unparalleled, but because he still created a glorious era under such a harsh situation.
After several generations of Taizong, Gaozong and Wu Zetian, Li Longji had made up for the problem of population shortage.
As an existence standing on the shoulders of a giant, although Li Longji was well employed and brought the Tang Dynasty back to its glory, he really wanted to compare with Li Shimin?
It's too shameless!
Pei Min despised him in his heart, but did not refute him. He thought that Li Longji was bragging and was also bragging with him.
After these dozens of glasses of wine, the conversation was completely opened.
Recalling the past, Li Longji was also very moved: "I was walking on thin ice back then. After Wei, Anle was hostile, and Aunt Taiping was tyrannical. How could I have thought that today would be? Along the way, I appeared beside me, only General Gao and Jingyuan. General Gao and I were the most caring, and Jingyuan protected my western border of the Tang Dynasty and used one person to pacify the four powerful enemies of Turks, Tuqishi, Tubo and Arabia. With you two, I could sleep peacefully."
Pei Min and Gao Lishi also returned the gifts, and each was also a little touched.
Perhaps because of what Pei Min said before, Li Longji was not very interested and the banquet did not last long.
Li Longji said that he was tired.
Pei Min said goodbye with tactfulness.
Just as he stepped down, Li Longji suddenly smiled and said, "Three days later, I will enthrone you and wait for the achievements I have made in the dynasty. Jingyuan, you can look forward to it..."
Pei Min thought of Li Longji's expectation and walked out of the palace under Gao Lishi's leadership.
On the way, Gao Lishi also said unexpectedly: "I thanked the Duke for Your Majesty!"
Pei Min suddenly understood what Gao Lishi was referring to, and said, "For the matter of duty, the eunuch pleaded for Mr. Zhang, but he has not yet thanked the eunuch."
Gao Lishi shook his head and said, "Don't blame Your Majesty, Duke, I have always served Your Majesty and knows the best of your Majesty's wishes. Wu Jieyu passed away and Your Majesty has not recovered, so I was very worried. I was worried that he would become sick and persuade him many times without success. Although Yang Jieyu was a little fond of money, she could win His Majesty's wishes. As long as Your Majesty is happy, I would be happy."
Pei Min said she understood.
This is also the biggest difference between him and Gao Lishi.
Pei Min respects Li Longji, but he cares more about the Tang Dynasty, while Gao Lishi is devoted to Li Longji. Even if he knows something is wrong, it doesn't matter as long as Li Longji is happy.
Gao Lishi's heart was like a mirror in his heart, but he turned a blind eye.
Gao Lishi said this at this time, obviously not hoping that Pei Min would harm Yang Jieyu.
