"However, people praise Wuzong for his great reputation in the Qin Empire since Taizu, and also praise Wenhe prosperity for the thirty years of Wenzong. However, they do not know that Jingrenzong, who was sandwiched between Wuzong and Wenzong, faced the treasury and extremely poor people at the beginning of his succession due to years of war, and the country where the whole people were full of troops and military forces."

"Jing Renzong reigned for fifteen years. During these fifteen years, not only did he restore people's livelihood, but he cleaned up the mess left by Emperor Wuzong, and even when he handed the throne to Wenzong, the treasury had a surplus of 300 million taels of silver. With such a foundation, it was not difficult for Wenzong to create a prosperous era in Wenhe."

"It can even be said that most of the contributions to Wenhe's prosperity were from Jing Renzong."

After hearing this, Li Chen agreed.

In fact, many emperors who were praised by later generations may not be all their contributions.

For example, before Li Chen traveled through time, Emperor Wu of Han was awesome, but he was able to fight the world with a tough attitude. It was based on the rule of Wen and Jingzhi of his grandfather and his father, otherwise he would have no money and would have a big fuck.

Emperor Wu of Han fought for the rest of his life, and the reputation of the Han Dynasty was extinguished, but it also wiped out the Han Dynasty's treasury.

In another prosperous era of Kangxi and Qianlong, if there was no Yongzheng in the middle, it would be a waste of food. Especially Qianlong, he was simply a prodigal emperor, useless, and enjoyed his happiness on the property accumulated by his grandfather and his father.

Li Chen asked: "You said before that there were three emperors who were amazing. You said two, and there was one more?"

The man laughed and said, "If the prince is willing to talk to me in detail, why don't we find a suitable place to chat slowly? This is a place where the emperors rest in peace, and it will always be inconvenient if they disturb them."

“Very good.”

Li Chen nodded and agreed, and became more curious about this middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor and even more extraordinary conversation and knowledge.

However, he still completed the worship work to the ancestors of all generations in absolute manner. After raising incense, he stood up and left the front hall of the Taimiao with the middle-aged man one by one.

Outside, Su Zhenting didn't know where he went.

Li Chen didn't care either, so he came to a pavilion with the man, and started a conversation by the Yudai River.

"I have heard that the current crown prince is very talented and has a wise ruler."

The man's opening remark is a flattery.

Li Chen said with a smile: "This is false. If you don't say that this palace is cruel and bloodthirsty, even if you accumulate virtue, you will still be a genius? It is true that this palace has the potential to be a tyrant?"

The man seemed to be surprised by Li Chen's reaction and laughed loudly when he heard this.

After the laughter, he said seriously: "For the current dynasty, an iron-blooded king is what the Qin Empire really needs. In contrast, wise and benevolent monarchs are only suitable for the prosperous times, but cannot support the building at the forefront."

Li Chen said lightly: "You haven't told me yet, who is the third king you mentioned?"

The man said with a smile: "Your Highness cares a lot?"

"That's natural. Your previous evaluation of Emperor Jingrenzong made me very interested. Thinking of this, the third emperor you mentioned must be an ordinary monarch," Li Chen replied sincerely.
