Chapter Twenty-Six: Jane and Luxury: Pros and Cons
Li Longji looked at Pei Min movingly.
Powerful and contemporary, famous through the ages, such words have a great attraction for an emperor like Li Longji.
In particular, Li Longji has the blood of great joy in his bones, and even committed the self-destruction of the Great Wall for the sake of great joy.
In the face of Pei Min, one of his most trusted henchmen, Li Longji did not hide it at all, and said bluntly: "If possible, it is necessary not only to shock the present generation, but also to be famous for the ......ages."
Pei Min didn't expect Li Longji to give such an answer, he was a little dumbfounded, seeing Li Longji's serious expression, he smiled bitterly: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you not understand this truth?" ”
Li Longji smiled dryly: "Jingyuan said straightforwardly, I just joked with you." ”
Pei Min complained behind his back, and said a woolen smile with that serious expression.
He fixed his mind and said: "Megatron is actually very simple, this history is always remembered first. For example, Qin Shi Huang, it is true that it was the First Emperor who unified the six countries, but it was actually the Han Dynasty that really unified the world. The first emperor subdued the world, but did not achieve the world's heart. Liu Bang used both grace and power, and the virtue of Wenjing, causing the world to return to the heart. But when it comes to the merit of unification, the world will always talk about the first emperor, not the Han Gaozu, let alone the second emperor Wenjing. ”
"The reason for this is because the first emperor, as his name suggests, is the first emperor in the world, and the first will always belong to him."
Li Longji couldn't help but be fascinated by the great exploits of Qin Shi Huang, and even had a little delusion: if he was in that era, would he become the first?
Pei Min said: "Throughout the ages, this Zen has been a first-class event. So far, the emperors who are really qualified to participate in the Feng Chan and act truly include the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty......"
In fact, there are still many emperors in history who have sealed Mount Tai, Pei Min personally thinks that they are not qualified, such as Emperor Liu Hu of An, Emperor Liu Xuan of Han Zhang, as for the Feng Zen 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 the emperor's opening, Emperor Wen Yang Jian opened the altar to set up a sacrifice to Mount Tai.
The results of Yang Jian's reign were really pleasantly surprised, but because it was the previous dynasty, Pei Min chose to be conservative and gave him up.
"From the point of view of pomp, these lords and saints all attach great importance to Feng Zen. In order to show prudence, the first emperor specially convened the Confucian scholars of Qi and Lu to examine the etiquette of sealing Zen, and later set his own etiquette system and renovated the mountain road, which was extremely large. ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even more so, he not only sealed Mount Tai, but also gave cattle, sheep, wine and cloth, etc., and exempted from the annual rent of Fenggao, Licheng and other places, and granted amnesty to the world. Wherever he drove his chariot, he was exempt from all servitude. Also in Mount Tai for the princes to build an official residence, in order for them to accompany the drive to the shrine of Mount Tai...... Eight times before and after, adding a lot of burden to the country. But at the time, it was a sensational sight. ”
"As for Emperor Guangwu, when it comes to merit, Emperor Guangwu is not inferior to another Martial Emperor, Wuxun may be inferior, but Wenzhi is undoubtedly better. It's just that his Zen is silent, but he is criticized. Why? In fact, his Feng Chan is neither as majestic as the First Emperor, nor as spectacle as Emperor Wu, so the natural response is mediocre. ”
Li Longji couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and it was true.
Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is indeed commendable, but the effect of his sealing Zen is really not as good as not sealing.
Pei Min said here, with a little excitement and said: "But when it comes to Feng Zen, it is still the period of Gaozong in my dynasty. Emperor Gaozong's Fengchan team was very large, not only did the Chinese military participate, but also ordered the governors and assassins of various places to gather Mount Tai, the states of the world, Ming Yang Caiyan, or the voice of the ghost, or the subordinate of the hidden vessel, and sent it with Yue Mu. ”
"Not only that, His Majesty Gaozong's civil and military honor guards are endless for hundreds of miles, and the flow of people is all over the mountains. There were Turkic, Khotan, Persian, Tianzhu, Wa, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and more than 30 envoys from various vassal countries also accompanied them, and the roads were blocked by many cattle, alpacas, and horses, which was unprecedentedly spectacular. Even the water and fire used to seal Zen are different. Fire is taken from the sun, and water is taken from the moon, both of which are used by ordinary people. ”
"When I think about it now, I can't help but be fascinated!" Pei Min said with a yearning on his face.
Li Longji's face was a little ugly, Pei Min just took Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty as examples.
Now I talked about Tang Gaozong, Tang Gaozong's pomp and circumstance, which was much grander than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty borrowed from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to disparage the penny, if he borrowed from Gaozong, would he repeat the mistakes of the past, or?
Li Longji is really hard to predict about this future.
Pei Min saw that Li Longji's face was getting heavier and heavier, and he hurriedly said: "So Your Majesty wants to be powerful today, your pomp and circumstance must surpass Gaozong, otherwise it is inevitable that someone will use it to compare with Gaozong." ”
Li Longji said in a half-loud voice: "It's not easy to overshadow the ancestors!" ”
These days, he has also studied the culture of Feng Chan, and knows that Tang Gaozong's Feng Chan is so powerful, and if he wants to follow suit, he can only insert green onions in his nose.
The time when Tang Gaozong was enshrined was in the second year of Linde, which was the most powerful time of the Gaozong Dynasty.
Gaozong has such a momentum based on the foundation laid by the two dynasties of Gaozu and Taizong.
Now that he has been on the throne for only 12 years, and he has only been in power for 10 years, how can he compare with the Gaozong Dynasty after the development of Zhenguan and Yonghui?
Pei Min said: "This truth is also well understood, but if you don't surpass the pomp and circumstance of the Gaozong Dynasty, Your Majesty will be able to seal Zen this time, but it will not be easy to shock the contemporary generation." After all, it has only been 60 years since Linde was two years old. Not to mention anything else, the gray-haired elders at the foot of Mount Taishan in Liangjing will all say it to their children and grandchildren. This time the Zen seal is far less than that of Gao Zong. ”
Tang Gaozong's evaluation in this era was extremely high, and the TV art of later generations, in order to admire Wu Zetian, the first empress, specially weakened Li Zhi's ability and said that he was a weak emperor, an emperor who relied on his wife to become a weapon.
In fact, Li Zhi is an emperor who is underestimated a lot, and when he was in power, Wu Zetian couldn't set off any waves.
In TV, Wu Zetian fights the eldest grandson Wuji, the queen of the Douwang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and is incomparable......
The fact is that Tang Gaozong used Wu Zetian to overthrow the elder Sun Wuji, the elder of the Three Dynasties, who monopolized the government, and held real power himself. Instead of Wu Zetian himself, he relied on his intelligence to defeat the old fox's eldest grandson Wuji.
Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, it is a fact that they were really defeated by Wu Zetian.
But Li Zhichao, Li Zhi is the only master.
Li Zhibao Wang Fangyi, Wang Fangyi was prosperous in official fortune.
Wu Zetian gritted his teeth with hatred for the younger brother of this rival in love, but there was nothing he could do.
Wu Zetian took a fancy to Li Yifu, Yuan Gongyu, and Cui Yixuan the most, and Li Zhi cleaned them up with a gesture, degraded and degraded, and died, Wu Zetian couldn't do anything, and he didn't even have the qualifications to defend them, so he couldn't change everything.
Wu Zetian bullied her weak and 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 made her obedient.
It was only in the last few years that Li Zhi suffered from severe wind vertigo and couldn't see with his eyes, and Wu Zetian became Li Zhi's eyes, so he took the initiative from Li Zhi.
The facts can also be seen that when Li Zhi was in power, what was the Tang Dynasty like: the four Yi surrendered, destroyed the Western Turks, destroyed Baekje, destroyed Goguryeo, conquered the Western Regions, and the territory stretched from the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea in the west, Lake Baikal in the north, and Hengshan in Vietnam in the south......
And what about after Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne?
The Western Regions were lost, and although they were finally recaptured, they still called their criing fathers and mothers to Tibet.
The Northeast was lost, and the Khitan, which was in its primitive state, wiped out an army of 300,000 people, and lost Liaodong and Liaoxi. The Andong Protectorate in the northeast ran from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, to Hebei, the Bohai Sea was founded, and the Khitan rose. Liaoxi and Liaodong were not recovered until the Li Longji period.
As for the north, the Turks, who were repeatedly abused by Taizong and Gaozong, were gloriously restored in the hands of Wu Zetian, and even married Yidi as a prince, suffering unprecedented humiliation, but the result was still that Wu Yanxiu was detained and the Turks invaded on a large scale.
The Tang Dynasty was in the hands of Li Zhi, and it was majestic, and there was only Tubo, this one opponent.
In less than 50 years or so, the defeat recorded in the history books lost nearly one million soldiers, and the foundation of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty was almost half defeated by Wu Zetian.
Those who say that Wu Zetian is stronger than Li Zhi are purely blind.
Wu Zetian is only commendable in Wenzhi, but Li Zhi's Yonghui rule, where is it inferior?
In Pei Min's eyes, Wu Zetian's greatest contribution was to solve the problem of the scholars.
The myth of her abilities is only because she is the first empress of China. Putting aside the bonus points of a woman's identity, only based on the evaluation of an emperor's cultural and martial arts, Wu Zetian is really not very powerful compared with the Ming monarch in history.
However, Li Zhi is not weak, but extremely strong, but compared with his father Li Shimin, there is still a certain gap.
Li Longji's target has always been Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, not the inferior Gaozong Li Zhi.
This makes people say that it is not as good as Li Zhi, where did Li Longji accept it, and his face was depressed.
Li Longji didn't want to say much on this issue, he was still the Emperor of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and he had a certain understanding of his economic situation, and the economy at the moment was not allowed to hold a grand ceremony of sealing Zen that surpassed the pomp and circumstance of Gaozong Li Zhi, and said with a strong spirit: "What do you say about being famous through the ages?" ”
Pei Min stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "The word is about 'Jane', Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and does not want to disturb the people or increase the burden of the people." The pomp can be simple, and if it can be exempted, it will be exempted, and the most simple and solemn attitude will be used to complete this meditation. As far as this move spreads, His Majesty's love for the people will surely be praised and loved by the people. Even after a thousand years, there are Ming monarchs and holy lords like Your Majesty, and they intend to seal Zen. If you pay attention to extravagance and pomp, the world will definitely follow the example of Your Majesty, and make a sharp contrast. ”
"But if he chooses to take Jane as the top, it is just to pick up His Majesty's wisdom, and the world will say that he has the style of His Majesty. Won't this be remembered through the ages? ”
When Li Longji heard this, where could he not hear Pei Min's intentions?
It's just that his approach is twisted and rounded, and he just goes around the boss in a circle.
Of course, it works!
This twist and turn is more effective than any big truth.
Li Longji is used to hearing big truths, and all he wants to hear is just the pros and cons.
