The current situation of the Tang Dynasty is very strange, a dynasty is either prosperous or declining. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The easiest way to identify the decline of their prosperity is to see whether their armies are strong, whether their temples are stable, and whether their political systems have collapsed. As long as the army, the temple, and the political system collapse, if the three appear together, it is almost equivalent to sounding the alarm bell of the demise of the previous dynasty.

But at this time, the Tang Dynasty was militarily weak, the temples were chaotic, and the second of the three points appeared, but the political system was intact.

The main reason for this strange situation is Wu Zetian: Wu Zetian was afraid of the generals in power, threatened her throne, and killed a large number of generals and marshals who were accustomed to fighting before and after the emperor, which led to a sharp turn in the military of the Tang Dynasty. And because of the ascension to the throne as the emperor as a woman, the chaos of the program, so that in recent years, the court situation has changed hands repeatedly, the emperor, the prince, and the queen of power each have ghosts, and the ministers have been cleaned over and over again. In less than ten years, it has already experienced two major coups d'état and two major purges of Shenlong and Tang Long. Even now, there is still a princess who is stronger than the emperor, and the emperor is unwilling to give up power, and even intends to abolish the emperor, and the court has become a pot of porridge. At the same time, Wu Zetian, as the only orthodox female emperor in history, did have extraordinary means, she developed the imperial examination, and reused the Hanmen to appoint Lou Shide and Di Renjie, so that the politics were clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Because of this, the current Tang Dynasty is militarily weak and the government is in turmoil, but the people are unexpectedly rich. It's like Shengdou Xiaomin living a comfortable life watching the gods on the top fight, it doesn't matter to him, he doesn't have to worry about it.

On the surface, the situation is terrible. Because this means that the people have lost their centripetal force for the country and have lost their reverence for the Li Tang royal family. They don't mess up because they have food and drink, and once they lose them, chaos will come.

For this reason, Guo Yuanzhen is not bad at all, once the political collapse that maintains peace in the world finally means the coming of troubled times.

Guo Yuanzhen's far-sightedness made Pei Min secretly admire, he had such an idea because he took history as a mirror, and Guo Yuanzhen realized this truth with his own talents.

"The younger generation thinks that my Datang is now in a delicate position, just like the Buddhists say, one thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha. On the left is the mountains, but on the right is the abyss. Our technology, economy, population and many other strengths are far superior to those of the surrounding aliens, and the inferior ones are only military shortcomings. As long as there is a stable situation in the court, a stable economy is used to develop the military with all its might, and soldiers and generals who dare to fight and can fight, it will not be difficult to pull out a strong army to defend the homeland and the country. As long as you are willing to invest, it is only a matter of time before you train a division that can open up and expand your territory. How hard is it? Can it still be difficult to pass the Taizong period? ”

During the period when Li Shimin ascended the throne, he wanted money but no money, no population, no economy, no grain and grass, and the world was still unstable, which was really difficult. Even so, Li Tang still survived and achieved the Zhenguan Dynasty. Now that Datang has a stable economy, rich people, and people live and work in peace and contentment, what reason is there that he can't pull an army?

Guo Yuanzhen clapped his hands and praised: "That's true, one thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha." Well said, well said. He stopped applauding and said, "Your foresight is not inferior to mine, in your opinion, can Princess Taiping be able to take on such a heavy responsibility?" ”

Pei Min shook his head, Princess Taiping's pattern and scheming are indeed outstanding, but her little woman's heart is an Achilles' heel. Those who achieve great things, before they achieve great things, must be broad-minded and tolerant of everything. Ability is not the most important thing for having a superior person. With an open mind, knowing people and making good use of them is the key, and Liu Bang is the best example.

Guo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Then what do you think of Your Majesty today?" ”

Pei Min finally understood Guo Yuanzhen's intentions. He had mixed feelings about Li Longji, who was wise and decisive in the early stage, set things right, swept away the Weiwu Rebellion, and killed Princess Taiping. After seizing power, politically he reused prime ministers Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, and Zhang Jiuling to put the Tang Dynasty on the right track, and militarily used generals such as Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing to expand the territory and push the Tang Dynasty to the peak. It is even no exaggeration to say that the Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan period had the strongest comprehensive strength in the entire Tang Dynasty. But this kind of strength did not last long, after Li Longji created a prosperous era, he began to be satisfied, indulged in pleasure, and promoted himself to the temple one by one, such as **** Lin Fu and Yang Guozhong, and trusted An Lushan excessively, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. The Anshi Rebellion was a turning point in the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and it also prompted the Tang Dynasty to enter the situation of separating feudal towns. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been mired in the quagmire, although the national fortunes have not been broken, and there have been Tang Xianzong, Tang Wuzong, Tang Xuanzong and other heroic masters, but they are just surviving.

The Anshi Rebellion did not occur as the general trend of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and there was nothing to be done, and it was completely attributed to Li Longji alone, which was caused by his death. It can be said politely that Li Longji single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty, which had the strongest comprehensive strength, and at the same time pushed the Tang Dynasty into a swampy mud pond that could not be turned over.

However, Li Longji in this period is indeed worthy of the four words of wisdom and martial arts, especially when he was young, he single-handedly led the Tang Long coup d'état, and forcibly put his father Li Dan on the throne.

Pei Min could only say: "Your Majesty today can indeed be regarded as a promising master, at least in terms of heart, much stronger than Princess Taiping." ”

Guo Yuanzhen looked at Pei Min with hope on his face and said, "Then are you willing to help Your Majesty?" ”

Pei Min almost didn't hesitate, and said: "Learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family, Pei Min dares not to serve his life!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen slapped his leg and laughed, "Okay, great!" ”

Pei Min clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what I need to do?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen smiled indifferently: "At present, your qualifications and status are too low to be useful, but you can rest assured, as long as you have the heart to serve the country, there will be a time when you will be needed." ”

Pei Min glanced at Guo Yuanzhen suspiciously, knowing that what he said was not the truth, but he didn't care so much.

Guo Yuanzhen said: "I have already investigated the matter of Wuju, and I didn't expect you to be quite capable of causing trouble." Lu Zangyong, Chang Yuankai, and Li Ci all participated. Princess Taiping's henchman, you alone offended three of them, which is also amazing. ”

Pei Min touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "It should have been provoked by Lu Zangyong, he was instigated by others to participate." As for Chang Yuankai, I slapped his son in the face and instigated it. But Li Ci, I really don't know where to offend him. ”

Guo Yuanzhen explained: "Li Ci is a relative of Dou Chen, a member of the military department, and Chang Yuankai is Li Ci's boss, so it is normal to get together. How about it, do you want the old man to give you an outlet? ”

Pei Min shook his head and smiled: "No need, just now the eldest princess taught me a lesson and made me understand something." Deal with someone who is far above you, or put him to death. Or just do nothing......

Guo Yuanzhen glanced at Pei Min strangely, and there was a little dazed in his heart.
