Chapter 476 Li Longji, who died early, was a good emperor
In the history books, Concubine Yang is as famous as Daji. She is a scourge that confuses the king and leads to the destruction of the country and the family.
Of course, for Li Yunze, who has experienced many historical eras, he has already seen through what those big turbans are doing.
Both Yang Guifei and Daji are just unlucky people who are used to take the blame.
Anyway, their beauty has faded away, and those people with big headscarves holding writing brushes are naturally fantasizing about beauties with blushing faces while writing furiously and pouring out the darkest ink in their hearts.
The Yang Yuhuan in front of Li Yunze is a wonderful person with a gentle personality, gorgeous appearance, good at singing and dancing, and good at music.
The girl's personality is gentle and demure that men like most. She really listens to everything she says and does whatever she is told.
Even if he said a few harsh words to make him angry, the most he could do was cover his face with silk and weep secretly.
Compared with boxers in the modern world, they are truly immortal figures.
Newlyweds are wonderful. After eating the marrow and knowing the taste, they get together to study the music almost every night.
The nasal sounds and the guttural sounds alternate continuously, and together they compose a beautiful piece of music.
For Yang Yuhuan, who has entered the new music palace for the first time, it is natural that she feels happy every day.
But for Li Yunze, whenever he loses hundreds of millions of assets to Yang Yuhuan in a music competition, he will fall into a philosopher's state and think about the world's major events.
When he was young, Li Longji was indeed very capable and courageous. Some people even compared him to Li Er, but that was not too flattering.
It's just that after reaching middle age, Li Longji embarked on the road of being a foolish king and never returned.
The affairs of the government and the country were gradually let go, relying entirely on the support of capable ministers.
Local tycoons have emerged, land annexation has intensified, and the people in many places have even become homeless.
The original farmers, mainly Liangjiazi, went bankrupt one after another, and the small-scale peasant economy directly entered a state of collapse.
What should those soldiers who are guarding the border do when they return home and see the tragic situation in their own homes?
Militarily, the strategy of concentrating the elite main force in Chang'an City during Li Er's period was abandoned. Not only did he send troops and horses to various military towns, but the restraint on the military towns was getting worse and worse. However, he believed that his prestige was enough to suppress all

big.
The most terrible thing is that Li Longji especially likes foreigners and likes to reuse foreigners.
It is true that among them there are loyal and famous generals such as Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, and Li Guangbi, but there are also traitors such as An Lushan, Shi Siming, and Pugu Huai'en.
He ignored the cliques in the Korean and Chinese armies that were hostile to each other, and ignored the gradual hardship of life for the common people, thinking that his own prestige could suppress everything.
Almost all Li Longji's energy was spent on his harem, which numbered tens of thousands.
During the whole day, she was either acting in a sad drama with Concubine Wu Hui, or having random encounters in Nuo Da's palace.
Or just call the children from the Liyuan to have a good time.
In order to provide for his own enjoyment, it is said that the financial income he spends on himself alone is as high as tens of billions of dollars every year.
Moreover, he also made a very bad start, that is, he reused eunuchs.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were wreaking havoc and deposed the emperor, which originated from Li Longji.
"It would be best if you die at this time."
As people of later generations have discussed, if Li Longji had died before entering his old age, he would have been a wise king.
It's a pity that he didn't tell the story, but also brought the originally unparalleled Tang Dynasty to the ditch.
Yang Yuhuan beside him was murmuring in his sleep, but Li Yunze listened intently, but all he heard was nonsense such as "I can't eat anymore." There was no need to pay too much attention.
After tucking her in, Li Yunze rested his head on his arms and continued to think about world affairs.
If you think about world affairs when your status is not enough, you are a keyboard warrior, because if you think about it again, wool is of no use and it will have no impact at all.
Only when he is recommended to the crown prince position by Concubine Wu Hui and other ministers as he is now, can he have the ability to influence major events in the world.
Everything else is easy to say, except for the Anshi Rebellion, a key event that directly led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty. It is necessary to find a way to solve it in advance.
This cannot be achieved simply by killing An Lushan or Shi Siming.
No matter how good An Lushan and Shi Siming were, they couldn't just wave their arms and get hundreds of thousands of soldiers to work for them in rebellion.
Those were all the border troops of the Tang Dynasty, and they easily followed the foreign generals and betrayed the Tang Dynasty.
This is Middle-earth, not Rome!
The real root cause lies in the fact that the contradiction between the big landowners and bureaucratic class represented by the courtiers and the ordinary people has become so intense that it cannot be reconciled.
Li Longji favored powerful ministers and eunuchs, and these people had a huge impact on political life.
By controlling the emperor's eyes and ears, they intervened in political decisions, allowing their cronies to be promoted to high-ranking officials and assume important powers, which aroused strong resentment throughout the world.
At the same time, Li Longji's extravagant spending led to an extremely serious deficit in the national finance, and he continued to increase taxes to steal wealth from the people.
In order to maintain his luxurious life, Li Longji increasingly relied on powerful ministers and eunuchs who could make money for him, which in turn made the government more corrupt.
These powerful ministers and eunuchs each formed cliques, formed parties for selfish purposes, and attacked dissidents. They constantly promoted relatives and installed comrades, and there was also the extremely terrifying phenomenon of buying titles and conferring official titles.
More and more evil people are in power, gradually forming a class of big landowners and big bureaucrats that run rampant in the world and support each other.
In the agricultural era, land was the most important means of production. When one was rich and powerful, one would naturally try every means to annex land.
Everyone knows that ordinary people are powerless to resist in the face of power.
The land equalization system collapsed completely, and the good family members could no longer afford the requirements of the military system.
However, wars continued in the Tang Dynasty, and the sons of good families were still required to bear heavy military service.
When these frontier soldiers returned home, exhausted both physically and mentally, they found that they had no place to stand in their homes, and their families and relatives were being persecuted and suffered miserable consequences.
Under such circumstances, it is only natural that hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty border troops are willing to follow An Lushan in rebellion.
The only reason why the Battle of Xiangji Temple in history was so brutal, and why the rebels were so determined that they refused to retreat even though almost all of them were killed, was that it far exceeded the limit of casualties that could be tolerated on the battlefield in the cold weapon era.
It’s because they know they lost the fight
If they do, their families and relatives will still have to live a miserable life of being oppressed, with no way to complain, and no place to stand.
Even if An Lushan is gone, there will still be Zhang Sanli Si who raises his arms and shouts, "Princes, princes, generals, Xiang Ning has the kind~~~"
The conflicts in the Tang Dynasty were so intense that a brutal fight was necessary to reshape the country. Even if the border troops did not rebel, the people would.
The Anshi Rebellion caused a large number of population losses, especially the villains who were running rampant across the country were almost wiped out, freeing up a lot of land, which actually alleviated the previous sharp conflicts.
The root of all things can be traced back to Li Longji.
If his extravagance had not caused the country to go bankrupt, he would not have reused eunuchs and treacherous ministers to exploit the people for money.
If there were no eunuchs and treacherous officials who caused the world to boil, there would be no Liangjiazi who was the main force of the Tang army and would take the initiative to become a rebel.
If the elite Tang army had not been consumed by internal strife, there would not have been the tragic situation of losing the Western Region and expanding the vassal towns until the country was destroyed.
"For the people of the world."
Li Yunze finally closed his eyes and rested, "You'd better move into Tailing as soon as possible."
After marrying Yang Yuhuan for more than a month, Li Yunze finally started to take action.
The first thing he did when he left the house was to visit Concubine Wu Hui.
Concubine Wu Hui was Wu Zetian's grandniece. She was also a daughter of the Wu family and was very skillful, and she fascinated Li Longji.
She had two sons before, but Li Yi, the king of Xia mourning, and Li Min, the king of Huai'i, both died young. Now the only adult son left is Li Chan.
All the concubines in the harem and concubines of the past dynasties, as long as they have sons, have one thing in common, that is, they want to put their sons on the throne.
In this regard, Concubine Wu Hui is naturally no exception.
Li Yunze came to visit with Yang Yuhuan. Concubine Wu Hui was very happy and took Yang Yuhuan to greet her. She was very satisfied with him.
After taking a short rest, the palace maid took Yang Yuhuan to change clothes. Concubine Wu Hui looked at Li Yunze and asked, "Eighteen Master, are you satisfied with this princess?"
"I'm satisfied."
"Since you are satisfied, then you must work hard and let my mother-in-law have a grandson as soon as possible."
"Now is not the time." Li Yunze straightened his expression and lowered his voice, "The most important thing now is to sit on the throne of the prince!"
Concubine Wu Hui looked at him in astonishment.
In the past, when this topic was mentioned, Shibaro was always shy and did not dare to say much. He even seemed afraid of getting involved in the dispute between the country and the country.
But what happened today? I suddenly changed my gender.
But this is a good thing.
Concubine Wu Hui showed a satisfied smile, "Okay, if my son has such ambitions, my mother-in-law will naturally help you!"
"I'm happy today. You and your wife can stay and have a few drinks with grandma."
After hearing this, Li Yunze simply shook his head, "No, I have to leave now."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Concubine Wu Hui was very puzzled by this.
It was hard for Li Yunze to say that he would easily be watched by that old pervert if he stayed. He could only find an excuse, "I have an appointment with someone in the mansion to cultivate influence."
"well."
Concubine Wu Hui, who is a daughter of the Wu family, nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied with Li Yunze's progress. "Aniang, I have some wealth here. You can take it back. Remember, if you want to win people's hearts, you have to be generous. Never be stingy with money. As long as you can."
Ascending to a high position, wealth is the
Isn’t it true that you can get as much as you want when you wait for something?”
For Li Chen, his biggest advantage is that he has an excellent mother.
It's a pity that he didn't know how to cherish the original history, and when Concubine Wu Hui died of illness, he couldn't even protect his wife.
History books say that after the death of Concubine Wu Hui, Li Longji was depressed. Even though there were tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, none of them liked her.
Then someone told him that Yang Yuhuan was "good in appearance and good enough to serve in the court", and then he summoned Yang Yuhuan to the palace.
For a history book like this, just read it, don't believe it.
Even if Li Longji doesn't want Bilian, he also knows that Yang Yuhuan is his daughter-in-law.
Someone said this girl was good, so he brought her into the palace?
If that's the case, then this is no longer a human being, but a real animal whose brains have grown on Jiji.
The truth is that Li Longji had been peeping at Yang Yuhuan for a long time, but was suppressed by Concubine Wu Hui.
As soon as Concubine Wu Hui died, she immediately brought the beauty she longed for to her side.
Li Yunze is so petty that he doesn't even give Li Longji a chance to meet him at this time.
Not long after he left with Yang Yuhuan, Gao Lishi came over with a smile and announced, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here~~~"
