Daming Palace, located on the Longshou Plateau in the northeast of Chang'an, is the political center of the Tang Empire, and the decrees and military orders of the Tang Empire are issued from here, reaching all parts of the country and influencing the course of world history.
Daming Palace was built in the period of Tang Taizong, who was originally built for Li Yuan to fulfill filial piety. Before the Daming Palace was completed, Li Yuan died, so the construction was stopped. It was not until the reign of Tang Gaozong that it was rebuilt and expanded on the original basis, so that it has the current scale.
The terrain of Chang'an City is high in the east and low in the west, the west of the city is relatively humid, and the east of the city is dry and comfortable. Since then, Daming Palace has become the political center of the Tang Dynasty, and the military orders and government orders of the entire empire were issued from here.
Daming Palace is divided into the vestibule and the inner court, the vestibule is mainly for the court, and the inner court is mainly for living and banquets.
In the center of the inner courtyard is the famous Taiye Pond, and countless rooms and palaces are arranged around the Taiji Pond.
Taiye Pond is the most important royal pond garden in the Tang Dynasty, with a lot of water pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by compound roads, beautiful scenery, and a good place for leisure.
The clear pool water is as blue as a mirror, shining in the light, indescribably beautiful, the breeze blows, the blue waves are bursting, and it is particularly interesting.
In a pavilion sat an old man eight feet long, with slightly white hair, although he was not young, but he could not hide his handsome appearance, it can be imagined that he must have been handsome and abnormal when he was young, and he could make countless people crazy about it.
The old man looked at the pond with a faint and charming smile on his face, and there was a momentum of swallowing the river and looking at the world.
He is the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the true son of heaven, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji!
Although Li Longji is in his twilight years, he can hardly hide his heroic temperament, and there is a majesty that people look up to between his gestures, without any pretentiousness, but naturally revealed.
Li Longji is a very famous and controversial emperor in Chinese history, with mixed reputations and mixed reviews.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to reach the height of the "prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty" is because of Li Longji's painstaking efforts.
Kaiyuan is a monument in Chinese history, the rule of culture is splendid, the martial arts are magnificent, people look up, the strength of the Tang Dynasty exceeds the Tang Taizong to create the "Zhenguan rule", the only thing that can be compared with the Han Wu Emperor created the "Han Wu Shengshi".
Li Longji is not only handsome, unattainable, but also has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the talent of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for him, the Tang Dynasty would have changed his surname, or his surname was Wei, or he would have fallen into the hands of Princess Taiping.
The era in which he lived was one of the most turbulent years of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Wei and Princess An Le teamed up to poison Zhongzong and control the government, the ministers did not dare to speak, the clan tied their hands, and saw that the power of the Tang Dynasty was about to fall into the hands of Empress Wei. At this critical moment, Li Longji joined forces with Princess Taiping to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, killing Empress Wei and Princess An Le, and putting Ruizong on the throne.
Li Longji was made the crown prince by virtue of his outstanding talent, which is indisputable, and even his eldest brother is also inferior.
However, Princess Taiping despised him and did not take him seriously. Soon, Princess Taiping realized that she had made a big mistake, and although Li Longji was young, he was shrewd and had outstanding talents, and regarded him as a thorn in her side, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Princess Taiping is the daughter of Wu Zetian, very political, very political, very want to be the empress like Wu Zetian, the ministers of the court and the central government are half into her party, her power is very large, that is, Ruizong has to consult with her every time he encounters a major event, this is an extremely terrible opponent.
What no one expected was that Li Longji took the lead in governing the people, killed Princess Taiping in one fell swoop, swept away the biggest stumbling block on his road to the emperor, and no one could compete with him for the throne anymore.
Although Li Longji ascended the throne, the political situation he faced was extremely grim. Because since Tang Taizong, Tang Gaozong, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and the three dynasties of the soft egg emperors, there are more ** interference in politics, the court is chaotic, the dynasty is sluggish, and the disadvantages are like a mountain, and the Tang Empire has no longer been the grand occasion of Tang Taizong.
Li Longji is determined to be a Ming monarch like Tang Taizong, and he has put it into action, he is virtuous and capable, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Shuo...... These famous ministers were reused, eliminated the accumulated shortcomings, reorganized the army and the military, made great efforts to govern the Tang Empire, and promoted Chinese history to the "prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty".
Appreciating the bursts of blue waves, Li Longji was in a very good mood, and there were more smiles on his face.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded, and Li Longji didn't look back, and asked, "Li Linfu, what's the matter with you?" β
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! β
Li Linfu stepped forward quickly and saluted Li Longji, respectfully and cautiously, without any flaws.
"Oh!"
Li Longji was slightly surprised, turned his head, the light in his eyes flickered, staring at Li Linfu, Li Linfu felt as if this was not a gaze, but a sharp sword, as if he was cutting his heart.
Although Li Linfu is a famous annihilator through the ages, he is a man of mania, and he can be regarded as a masterpiece of a generation, but every time he faces Li Longji, he has a feeling of being seen through.
"Your Majesty, Gao Xianzhi defeated Xiao Bolu, captured Su and Princess Tubo, and has now been escorted to Beijing." Li Linfu hurriedly returned.
"Beat the little Boru?" The light in Li Longji's eyes flashed, like a heavenly sword breaking through the sky, making people dare not look up, and when he stood up, a wave of anger suddenly appeared.
"Well played!"
Li Longji tapped his hands lightly, gave a crisp high-five, and praised: "Tubo and Dashi colluded with each other, and they were embarrassed to annihilate, and they once joined forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty. The two countries colluded, from Dafei Sichuan in the east to Persia in the west, and tens of thousands of miles of territory were all enemies of the Tang Dynasty. β
Dafeichuan is now the area of Qinghai Lake, which is the main economic area of Tibet and plays a very important role.
"Gao Xianzhi's battle is like a quick knife, blocking the waist with a knife, dividing Tubo and Da Shi into two from Xiao Bolu!"
If Li Longji had not been greedy for pleasure in his later years, but had been as diligent as ever, he would definitely have become a rare Ming monarch in Chinese history. Although today's true son of heaven has entered his twilight years and is no longer diligent in political affairs, his shrewdness is there, and his words are to the point: "Tubo can't contain the Anxi Protectorate, and the Anxi Protectorate can concentrate its forces to compete with the Great Food!" β
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Linfu praised: "Although Xiao Bolu is small, it is extremely important, Xiao Bolu is taken by Datang, this is a grand event of Datang, the minister asks His Majesty to issue an order, reward the soldiers, and celebrate!" β
"It is necessary to reward the soldiers, and there is no need to celebrate it."
Li Longji waved his hand lightly and said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goryeo, defeated the Tibetans, and the Great Food, and has won countless battles, and it is even more brilliant than this battle if you take out one of them." This battle was well fought, but it was not as good as these great victories, so there was no need to celebrate it. After the decree, after three days, open the Hibiscus Garden and allow the people to enter, which is enough. β
Although Li Longji is no longer diligent in political affairs, he is still shrewd, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and it is best to deal with it in this way.
