Chapter 420: The Arrival of the Prosperous Era (Finale)
Early in the morning of April 20 in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (not the first year of the Shenlong in history), Li Xian once again boarded the gate of heaven and announced that Li Qianli, Princess Qianjin and others had joined Shazha Zhongyi, Dugu Yizhi and others to rebel, so they ordered all the rebels to be executed, this time it can be said that it was widely implicated, including most of the generals of the East Palace, most of the civil and military officials under the command of Princess Taiping, and many civil and military officials under the command of the Empress Dowager Wu.
However, the people still applauded Li Xian's decision, because for people like Li Qianli and Princess Qianjin, many people know what kind of character they have, especially Princess Qianjin, who has already committed public anger for her various behaviors without discipline and lower limits.
However, to their deep shock, Li Xian then issued the "Edict of Guilt", claiming that he had caused discord in the palace because of his lack of virtue, so he ordered a general amnesty and reduced the tax for that year.
Although the people were grateful to Li Xian for his tax reduction, they still thought that Li Xian should not have issued the "Edict of Guilt", because everyone saw the wisdom of the great emperor in their hearts, and this further aroused the hatred of the people for those rebellious ministers and thieves.
Soon after, another incident happened that shocked the government and the opposition, the crown prince Li Chongjun repeatedly asked to resign as crown prince, although the emperor and empress persuaded him hard, but did not shake Li Chongjun's determination.
It wasn't until later that someone came from the palace to hear the secret news, saying that the prince was actually involved in this rebellion, but the crown prince was blinded, and His Majesty the emperor remembered the love of father and son, and once again used the power of amnesty, pardoned the crown prince's crimes alone, and still ordered him to be the prince, but the prince felt guilty and resolutely resigned from the position of prince.
Li Xian's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to obey the will of the crown prince, agreed to abolish Li Chongjun's crown prince, set up the queen's son Chongfu as the crown prince, and gave him a name, and it was at this time that Xue Ne, who had an expedition to the Great Food, won a great victory again and captured all the land of the Great Food, and the emperor of the Umayyad Dynasty of the Great Food committed suicide, and the people were either killed or surrendered, and the Great Food Dynasty was finally extinct.
Li Xian then decided to crown Li Chongjun as the prince of the two words, the king of the Great Food, and ordered him to lead the elite 50,000 people to establish the country in the Great Food, becoming the first vassal state since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chongjun thanked Li Xian, and took Lan'er, the army, and the people to Dashi to garrison, and later the country continued to expand under the leadership of Li Chongjun, and even occupied the entire continent west of Dashi, and established the second most powerful country in the world.
However, no matter how powerful the country was, it always had great respect for Datang, and even helped Datang put down a major rebellion hundreds of years later.
At this time, Li Dan, the prime minister, also took the initiative to hand over all the power of the six rates of the East Palace, and asked to go to the place, so Li Xian agreed to Li Dan's request, renamed Li Dan as the king of Wu, and ordered Li Dan's family to go to the fief as soon as possible.
And Li Dan's wife, Princess Dou, was already pregnant, but because Li Dan participated in the rebellion, she had a miscarriage in fear, which caused Li Dan's third son to be 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 to die like this.
There is more than one news that shocks people's eyes, and soon after Li Xian issued an edict again, Princess Taiping of Zhenguo died of a sudden illness, and was posthumously posthumously sealed, and then buried with a princely ceremony, and his son Xue Chongxun was given the surname Li and was named the king of Anping County, which set a precedent for a different surname in the history of the Tang Dynasty!
Two years later, that is, in the third year of Shenlong, the king of the Japanese kingdom rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Japanese metropolitan governor's office of the Tang Dynasty, and was bloodily suppressed by the famous general Wang Hui, and finally the Tang Dynasty suppressed the rebellion with an absolute advantage, the king of the Japanese was killed, and the Tang Dynasty set up another royal family of the Japanese to carry out puppet rule, so that the Tang officials occupied the main force of the imperial court of the Japanese state, and most of the Japanese officials were fictitious positions without real power, although they seemed to have a high status, but they had completely become vassals of the Tang Dynasty, more than ten years later, Because all the members of the Japanese royal family died in a sudden fire, the Tang court decided to officially divide the Japanese kingdom into the feudal states of the Tang Dynasty, and divided the children of the clan into Ying Wang.
In the fourth year of Shenlong, Fubo general Liu Youqiu brought good news, his fleet went through a lot of hardships, and finally succeeded in arriving at the "Americas" that Li Xian said at the beginning, and successfully brought the seeds of Li Xian's long-awaited sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and other high-yield crops from the Americas.
Li Xian took the opportunity to appoint Liu Youqiu as the governor of the Metropolitan Government of the Americas, and ordered him to lead more than 100,000 people of the Tang Dynasty to immigrate to the Americas and develop there, because the Americas have a large amount of gold and silver, so with the large inflow of gold and silver, Li Xian decided to use silver as the common currency, which makes the market more convenient and the trade more prosperous.
At this time, Li Xian had already withdrawn from the Ming and Tang Dynasty firms, and he took out the shares assigned to him by the Ming and Tang Dynasty firms and established a state-owned factory belonging to the Tang Dynasty, engaged in the production of large quantities of silk, porcelain and other goods, and the income obtained was 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 is difficult to meet the needs of the market, under the personal inquiry and guidance of Li Xian, Datang began to study new production techniques, so Datang appeared in the history of mankind The first steam engine, the first steamboat, the first steam locomotive, the first wired telegraph and wired telephone.......
Although he created an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity and established a huge empire that has never been seen in history, which almost runs through the five continents, Li Xian's heart has never been slack, because whenever he slacks, he remembers Princess Taiping's advice to him when she was dying: "You have to be a good emperor......
Three years after the coup, Empress Dowager Wu suffered from a serious illness because of perennial depression, and died quietly, and was not discovered until three days later.
At this time, has become the protector of the Shaolin Temple presided over the monk Wu Neng said a thing, he after the study of Yuan Tiangang's crossing, and consulted the masters of the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism, after calculation, finally learned that Yang Yushu, who died more than ten years ago, has been reincarnated into a family of Hongnong Yang, named Taizhen......
"You little monk, are you really ready not to assist me?" Li Xian reminded Wu Neng of the old matter and asked solemnly.
But he saw that Wu Neng smiled and said: "You know, I am not here, my greatest wish is to defeat you, but after so many years, your martial arts are becoming more and more refined, if I am delayed by the world, I will not be your opponent, so, senior brother, please let go of the little brother......"
The monk in his forties bowed to Li Xian, and then left freely, and the setting sun stretched his shadow longer and longer.......
