Chapter 420: The Arrival of the Prosperous Age (The Finale)
In the early morning of April 20, the first year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty (not the first year of Shenlong in history), Li Xian once again visited Zetianmen and announced that Li Qianli, Princess Qianjin and others had joined forces with Sha Zha Zhongyi, Dugu Yizhi and others to rebel.
Therefore, he ordered all the rebels to be executed. This time, it can be said that a wide range of people were involved, including most of the generals of the Sixth Army of the East Palace, most of the civil and military officials under Princess Taiping, and many civil and military officials under the command of Empress Dowager Zeng Wu.
Rivers of blood flowed in the palace, which made people's faces change.
However, the people still applauded Li Xian's decision, because many people know the character of people like Li Qianli and Princess Qianjin, especially Princess Qianjin, who has no moral integrity and lower limits.
Various actions have already been committed that have caused public outrage.
However, what shocked them deeply was that Li Xian later issued the "Edict of Sin", claiming that because of his lack of virtue, he had caused discord in the palace, so he ordered an amnesty and exempted and exempted the tax for that year.
Although the people were grateful for Li Xian's tax reduction and exemption, they still believed that Li Xian should not issue the "Edict of Sin" because everyone saw the wisdom of this great emperor in their hearts, and this further aroused the people's anger.
We hate those rebellious officials and traitors.
Shortly afterwards, another incident that shocked both the government and the public happened. Crown Prince Li Chongjun repeatedly requested to resign as crown prince. Although the emperor and the queen tried hard to persuade him, they did not shake Li Chongjun's determination.
It was not until later that someone sent secret news from the palace, saying that the prince was actually involved in the rebellion this time, but that he was deceived. His Majesty, thinking of the love between father and son, once again used the power of amnesty and pardoned the emperor alone.
The prince committed a crime and still appointed him as the prince, but the prince felt guilty and resolutely resigned from the position of prince.
Li Xian tried hard to persuade him to no avail, so he had no choice but to comply with the wishes of the crown prince and agreed to abolish Li Chongjun's crown prince position and make the queen's son Chongfu the crown prince and give him the name Chen. At this time, Xue Na, who was on an expedition to Dashi,
Another great victory was achieved and all the land of Dashi was captured. Emperor Abdulmalik of the Umayyad dynasty of Dashi committed suicide. His tribe was either killed or surrendered, and the dynasty of Dashi was finally extinct.
Li Xian then decided to give Li Chongjun the title of Prince of Dashi, King of Dashi, and ordered him to lead 50,000 elites to establish the country in Dashi, becoming the first vassal state since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chongjun thanked Li Xian, took Lan'er and the army, and the people went to Dashi to garrison. Later, under the leadership of Li Chongjun, the country continued to expand and even occupied the entire continent west of Dashi, establishing the second most powerful country in the world.
country.
However, no matter how powerful this country was, it was always extremely respectful to the Tang Dynasty, and even helped the Tang Dynasty put down a major rebellion hundreds of years later.
At this time, Li Dan, the prime minister, also offered to hand over all the power of the six leaders of the East Palace and requested to go to the place. So Li Xian agreed to Li Dan's request, changed the title of Li Dan to King of Wu, and ordered Li Dan's family to go to the fiefdom as soon as possible.
Li Dan's wife, Princess Dou, was already pregnant, but due to Li Dan's involvement in the rebellion, she had a miscarriage out of fear, which resulted in Li Dan's third son being stillborn.
After Li Xian heard the news, he couldn't help but be surprised, because he knew that according to the development of history, Li Dan's third son should be a famous figure in history, but he didn't expect that he would die like this.
There was more than one news that shocked people's attention. Not long after, Li Xian issued an edict again. Princess Taiping of Zhenguo died of a sudden illness and was given a posthumous title. She was then buried with a royal ceremony. Her son Xue Chongxun was given the surname Li and was given the title
As the Prince of Anping County, he set a precedent in the history of the Tang Dynasty for people with different surnames to be crowned kings!
Two years later, in the third year of Shenlong, the king of Japan rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Japanese governor of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, he was bloody suppressed by the famous general Wang Jun. In the end, the Tang Dynasty wiped out the rebellion with absolute superiority, and the king of Japan was defeated.
After being killed, the Tang Dynasty established another Japanese royal family and carried out puppet rule. In this way, the officials of the Tang Dynasty occupied the main power of the Japanese court, and most of the Japanese officials had empty posts without real power. Although they seemed to have a high status, they had been completely degraded.
As a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, more than ten years later, because all members of the Japanese royal family died in a sudden fire, the Tang court decided to officially divide the Japanese kingdom into a feudal state of the Tang Dynasty, and enfeoffed the clan members as kings of Ying.
In the fourth year of Shenlong, Fubo General Liu Youqiu brought good news. His fleet went through all kinds of hardships and finally successfully arrived at the "America" that Li Xian originally mentioned, and successfully brought Li Xian from America.
Xian's long-awaited seeds of sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and other high-yielding crops were quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty after Li Xian's personal promotion, feeding many people, which also caused more people to take part in business, thus making the country
Trade in the Tang Dynasty became even more prosperous.
Li Xian took the opportunity to appoint Liu Youqiu as the Grand Governor of the American Metropolitan Governor's Office, and ordered him to lead more than 100,000 Tang people to immigrate to America and develop it. Because America has a large amount of gold and silver, with the large inflow of gold and silver, Li Xian decided
Using silver as the universal currency makes market transactions more convenient and trade more prosperous.
At this time, Li Xian had already withdrawn from the Ming and Tang Dynasties. He took out the shares assigned to him by the Ming and Tang Dynasties and established a state-owned factory in the Tang Dynasty to engage in the production of bulk silk, porcelain and other goods.
The income obtained is used to improve education, medical conditions and the construction of some public facilities.
More than ten years later, with the development of Datang's trade and the expansion of the market, the production of bulk products was difficult to meet the needs of the market. Under Li Xian's personal intervention and guidance, Datang began to research new production techniques, and Datang emerged.
The first steam engine, the first steamship, the first steam locomotive, the first wired telegraph and wired telephone in human history...
Although he created an unprecedented peaceful age and established a huge empire that had never been seen in history, which almost ran through five continents, Li Xian never slacked off in his heart, because whenever he slacked off
, he remembered what Princess Taiping told him before she died: "You must be a good emperor..."
Three years after the coup, Empress Dowager Wu suffered from a serious illness due to long-term depression and died quietly. She was not discovered until three days later. Li Xian ordered the Empress Dowager Wu to be buried and asked eminent monks to perform rituals for her.
At this time, the eminent monk Wu Neng, who had become the abbot of the Shaolin Temple to protect the country, mentioned something. After researching Yuan Tiangang's theory of time travel, he also consulted experts from both Buddhist and Taoist circles, and finally figured out through calculations
, Yang Yushu, who died more than ten years ago, has been reincarnated into a family of the Yang family in Hongnong, named Taizhen...
"You little monk, have you really made the decision not to assist me?" Li Xian asked Wuneng solemnly, bringing up the old story.
But seeing Wu Neng smiled and said: "You know, I don't have this ambition. My biggest wish is to defeat you. But after so many years, your martial arts have become more and more refined. If I am delayed by the world, I will not be your opponent.
,So, senior brother, please let me go..."
The forty-year-old monk bowed to Li Xian and then left casually. The setting sun stretched his shadow longer and longer...
