The disaster of the Yang family is a great shame in the history of the Tang Dynasty, which is destined to be written into history and criticized by future generations. And Li Longji, as the initiator of this disaster, will inevitably become the target of ridicule by future generations.

People always have pursuits, different people have different pursuits, ordinary people pursue to live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor pursues merit and fame. In the past, Li Longji was virtuous and capable, diligent in political affairs, and made great efforts to build the Tang Dynasty into a fantastic dynasty, and the "prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty" became a monument in Chinese history, and he will inevitably enjoy a good reputation.

However, Yang's misfortune is a stain on his life, a shame on him, and a stain on his reputation, which is not acceptable to the emperor, let alone a promising monarch who has created brilliant deeds.

Therefore, when he thought of this, Li Longji felt extremely uncomfortable, thinking that it was a great shame. It is precisely because of this that Li Longji almost went crazy in a fit of anger, and he didn't eat, drink, or sleep for several days.

Now that he has come to his senses, the first thing he thinks of is how to wash away this shame and restore his good name.

The Yang family is a fierce disaster, rare through the ages, and it is not easy to restore its good name. After listening to Li Longji's questioning, the ministers shut up one by one, and no one dared to speak, for fear that they would say the wrong thing, which would make Li Longji unhappy and cause trouble.

The ministers were helpless, Li Longji had to pin his hopes on Li Changguo, who called Li Changguo had many ideas, and he solved his doubts many times, even if it was such a difficult thing as pacifying Tibet, he also did it.

Li Changguo's brows furrowed, and he was pondering.

"Li Changguo, what do you say?" Li Longji was named.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks there is no need to mind this matter. If a person is not a sage, who can be infallible? Li Changguo had to interrupt his thoughts and respond to Li Longji's question: "The people of the Yang family who annihilated the people, one thing in front of others, one thing in the back, and so many people who hurt nature and reason, the fault of Your Majesty is their own iniquity." ”

This is to excuse Li Longji and take care of his face.

Giving people face is not necessarily a sycophant, but just for the latter words to have greater utility.

Sure enough, Li Longji's tightly knit brows loosened a little, and said, "Li Changguo, you are explaining for me." But, you know what? This is a great shame for me. Since I ascended the throne, I have been able to do so, including Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu, Wang Maozhong, and Yang Siqiao...... These virtuous ministers will be reused by me, and there has never been a mistake. Only this Yang family is full of doors, I am blind, I treat the wicked as good people, and the thieves as loyal ministers, you say, you say, can I not lose face? I'm embarrassed. ”

The more Li Longji spoke, the more excited he became, his voice became higher and higher, pointing at Li Changguo, almost roaring, saliva splashing.

The reason why the "prosperous era of Kaiyuan" can become a monument in Chinese history and surpass the "rule of Zhenguan" of Tang Taizong is that Li Longji has promoted talents and enabled a large number of talents. Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu, Wang Maozhong, Yang Simiao These characters are all famous and have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Yao Chong and Song Jing are known as the virtuous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are as famous as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Yang Siqiao was originally a eunuch, but he was proficient in the art of war, and he was a good general, who was reused by Li Longji, he quelled the Mei Xuancheng Rebellion, and set up great martial arts for the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because there are so many talents that there is the famous "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", and the Tang Dynasty reached its peak and became the Mengji Dynasty. The role played by Li Longji is unparalleled, and no amount of praise can be overstated.

If there was no Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji would inevitably become a generation of saints in Chinese history.

is such an almost perfect emperor, but there is a disaster for the Yang family, how can Li Longji endure it? As soon as he mentioned this, Li Longji became excited. If there is no disaster of the Yang family, his current reputation is a good name, and he is praised, who can not be excited?

This really wants to make up for it, otherwise, Li Longji would not be so excited, Li Changguo saw it in his eyes, he was very pleased, not in a hurry, and said: "If Your Majesty wants to make up for it, the minister has a plan." ”

"Oh. What is the strategy? Say it. Li Longji was very eager and kept urging.

The ministers were also excited, looking at Li Changguo, all looking forward to it.

"As far as the minister knows, if it weren't for Your Majesty, Datang would no longer be Datang, and it would have been stolen by Empress Wei; If it weren't for Your Majesty, Princess Taiping would not have been ambushed; If it weren't for Your Majesty, there would be no Kaiyuan Dynasty; Without His Majesty, Datang would not be as strong as it is now; If it weren't for Your Majesty, the four realms of the Tang Dynasty would not be peaceful, and the remnants of the Later Turks, Khitans, Goryeo, and Tuyuhun would not have perished; If it weren't for Your Majesty'......" Li Changguo said a lot of Li Longji's exploits in one breath.

Li Longji has been in power for decades, and his achievements are very prosperous, and he is praised by future generations.

Not only Li Longji was happy, but even the ministers couldn't stop nodding their heads, echoing Li Changguo's words, and even the ministers praised a few words from time to time.

The reason why the ministers are like this is not because of Li Longji's sycophants, but because Li Longji's achievements are admirable.

Since the death of Tang Taizong, Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, and the Tang Dynasty has fallen into turmoil, and this turmoil has been decades, the reason is well known, because of Wu Zetian.

Wu Shutian is not only beautiful, but also has extraordinary political talent, she stole the throne from Li Tang, founded the country and became the emperor, becoming a legend in Chinese history, and the only empress in Chinese history, which is a great achievement.

However, the consequences of her claim to be the emperor are extremely serious, and this serious consequence is mainly manifested in several aspects: First, Wu Zetian wants to be the emperor and replace Li Tang, and he will inevitably be killed. This killing is incredible, and many famous ministers died at her hands, which is an important reason for the turmoil and instability of the border during the reign of Tang Gaozong.

The second is that if she wants to replace Li Tang, it will inevitably cause turmoil, and if she is not turbulent, she will not be able to start. Although she had outstanding political talent and worked hard to stabilize the Tang Dynasty, in the end, she could not avoid this turmoil, which caused great harm to the Tang Dynasty. The enthronement and deposition of the two puppet emperors Zhongzong and Ruizong are the best proof of this.

The third is that she has set up a model of a woman being an emperor, which is sought after and imitated by many women, and the most famous are the three women, Empress Wei, Princess Anle and Princess Taiping. In order to be the empress like Wu Zetian, these three women used all means to stir up the Tang Dynasty into a miasma.

Empress Wei and Princess An Le poisoned Tang Zhongzong, wanting to destroy the Li Tang clan, replace Li Tang, and become emperor. At this critical moment, it was Li Longji who stepped forward and launched a coup d'état, destroying Empress Wei and Princess Anle in one fell swoop, and putting Ruizong on the throne.

It is precisely because of Li Longji's great merit that although he is not the eldest son of Ruizong, he was still made the crown prince, and his eldest brother took the initiative to retreat and did not want to be the prince, because he was very smart, had means, and courage, and was the material of a generation of Ming Jun.

When Li Longji was the crown prince, Princess Taiping wanted to depose him, take over the government, and become the empress like her mother Wu Zetian. But he didn't expect Li Longji to strike first and kill Princess Taiping.

Since then, Li Longji has sat firmly in the world, he has let go of his hands and feet, promoted his talents, eliminated accumulated shortcomings, and made great efforts to govern the country, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has increased dramatically. After solving the internal problems, Li Longji came to solve the border troubles again, and the Tang army came out, swept the world, swept all countries, and the originally restless border returned to tranquility, which was better than the Tang Taizong period.

Any one of these exploits is enough to make people proud, and Li Longji has collected so many exploits in one, no matter how much praise is exaggerated.

"What do you mean......" Li Longji asked, looking at Li Changguo.

"Your Majesty, although the disaster of the Yang family is fierce and rare through the ages, it is far from the difficulties that Your Majesty has faced, why should Your Majesty be obsessed?" Li Changguo continued loudly: "Your Majesty can set things right and govern the Tang Dynasty to a splendid scale, why can't you eliminate the disaster of the Yang family and rebuild the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The ministers nodded in agreement.

Li Changguo is right, although the disaster of the Yang family is rare in the ages, it is far from comparable with the difficulties that Li Longji once encountered, and it can be said that it is less than 1 in 10,000. There are so many difficulties, Li Longji can solve them, but can the disaster of the Yang family be solved?

"Hmm. Reasonable. Li Longji was very happy at Li Changguo's words, nodded heavily, and loosened his wrung brows.

"But ......," Li Changguo's words suddenly changed.

"Hmm." Li Longji's brows that had just been relaxed were twisted together again, staring at Li Changguo.

“…… Merit is merit, and a mistake needs to be made up for by ten merits. Li Changguo looked at Li Longji, and said in a high tone: "If Your Majesty can be diligent in political affairs, as it was at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be more powerful." ”

During the Kaiyuan period, it was the pinnacle of Li Longji's life, and Li Longji at that time was diligent in political affairs, working hard to govern the Tang Dynasty, and building the Tang Dynasty into a flower. It's a pity that with the passage of time, Li Longji began to be satisfied, tired of politics, and no longer diligent in political affairs, but indulged in pleasure, which was why Yang Guifei was favored and the Yang family's disaster occurred.

Let Li Longji be as diligent in political affairs as he was in the Kaiyuan period, this is the dream of countless people, but it is unattainable. At the beginning of Li Longji's slackness, many ministers gave advice to Li Longji to be diligent in his administration, but it was useless. Later, the minister accepted the fact that Li Longji was indulging in pleasure, and few people gave advice.

If Li Changguo does this, there is no need to say that the benefits are needless to say, with Li Longji's talent, as long as he is diligent in political affairs again, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be stronger.

This is exactly what the ministers thought in their hearts, all of them looked at Li Longji, very nervous, as if they were afraid that he would not agree.

Only Li Linfu was very afraid, because the reason why he has the power he has now is because Li Longji is indulged in pleasure and does not care about political affairs, so he dares to cover the sky with one hand. If Li Longji is diligent again, his power will be weakened and his status will be reduced.

"Tubo has been broken, Datang is about to attack Tianzhu, and if Dashi is broken, Datang's territory will surge by tens of thousands of miles. Such a vast territory, there has never been in the history of China, there must be a lot of government affairs, if Your Majesty governs such a vast territory with flowers, Your Majesty will be the holy monarch in the history of China. Li Changguo's words were full of temptation: "With such a vast territory, Emperor Qin and Han Wu failed to do it, only Your Majesty has the fortunacy!" ”

Suddenly, Li Longji's eyes were as bright as the nine heavens, his hands were clenched, his breath was short, and his face was excited!
