Located in the west of the Kyushu pool in the Taichu Palace of the Divine Capital, there is a very special palace, this palace was originally a storage of the concubines' play, but since the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne, it was changed to Yichun Building, according to the meaning of the new emperor Wu Zheng, take the meaning of "remembering youth", what is put in it, only the new emperor and some concubines know.

At this moment, the blue door of Yichun Building was hidden, and it was obvious that someone was inside.

In the main hall, Wu Chu looked at the rows and rows of hanging "plum blossom pictures", he felt a "spring full of joy", and a trace of lingering compassion was transmitted into Wu Chu's mind from the plum blossom pictures.

The plum blossom pictures seem to be out of sight, and the wisps of tenderness that linger around the soul are like vines entangled Wu Chu. The plum blossom pictures represent every woman, on behalf of the new emperor Wu Chu's past romance, the poetic beauty, and the youthful and frivolous impulse.

Each plum blossom picture is a story, which only belongs to the story of Wu Chuan and those concubines......

Wu Chu looked at them one by one, and then looked at the two new additions, he shook his head, even after many years, he was still too impulsive, but he didn't regret it at all, and it was also a great pleasure in life.

"Holy Lord, Minister of Education Wang Bo invites you to come over." There was a shout outside the hall of Colliers.

Wu Chu suddenly remembered that his first reform was the education of the Great Zhou, and then, after glancing at the endless plum blossom picture, he suddenly turned around and strode out of Yichun Tower.

The Cabinet has been formed. However, at present, the cabinet is only the military and political staff group of the new emperor Wu Chai, and many decisions must be made through Wu Chai. Of course, this is only temporary, when the Great Zhou Empire grows stronger and stronger, and is on the right track, then the importance of the cabinet will be highlighted, and at that time, it will be imperative to become independent of the cabinet.

Cabinet. Originally, it was a government hall, where twelve cabinet members awaited the arrival of the new emperor.

After Wu Chuan stepped into the cabinet. The people on both sides of the long table hurriedly got up and saluted, the first assistant Di Renjie and the second assistant Lou Shide lined up on the left and right, and the rest stood in turn.

Wu Zheng smiled: "It's not a court meeting, everything is simple." Stepping here, it is to solve the problem, you Aiqing should keep in mind! ”

"Keep it in mind!" The ministers bowed and replied.

Wu Shu sat on the top and nodded, "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you!" Take your seats.

Wu Zheng looked at Wang Bo, a talented man who was once high-spirited but had been repeatedly hit, after teaching at Qingxin Academy for many years, he finally sharpened his skills and became a pillar, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he was appointed Minister of Education. Originally, he wanted Lu Zhaolin, but Lu Zhaolin's health has deteriorated in the past two years, so he gave up. He asked, "I wanted to reform the military system first. However, Di Lao and Lou Gong believed that the army was an important weapon of the country and should not be moved lightly, but should be changed slowly. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers slapped their ass!

Wu Shui continued: "Mencius said. A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king does not exist with the world. Both parents exist. Brothers have no reason, and they are happy; Look up to the sky, bow down to people, and be happy; Get the world's talents and educate them, and the three music are also. Therefore, if the Great Zhou wants to be strong and prosperous, if we want the people of the Great Zhou to be educated, then we must vigorously develop education. ”

Wang Bo's face showed a look of excitement, the Holy One ascended the throne, the first to reform education, and his ambitions were able to be displayed, which was really happy!

But Wu Chuan immediately said: "It is not enough to only develop education, there must be laws to keep up, otherwise the development of education will be shoddy, and sooner or later it will become a laughing stock of history." Therefore, while reforming education, it is necessary to formulate a corresponding education law! In the form of a law, I have a big week education! ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the cabinet, and the Minister of Justice Xu Yougong's face showed an excited look, he who had studied the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the laws of the previous dynasties, had already seen the shortcomings of the laws of this era, but what it was, he really couldn't see clearly, until this moment, he seemed to have grasped something, and the future laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were becoming clearer and clearer in his heart.

In this way, since the new emperor Wu Chu ascended the throne, he began to innovate in a planned and step-by-step manner, and this innovation, as if it was like the name of the era, had the meaning of opening an era. Actually, it is.

In the first year of Kaiyuan, Li Lingyue, the crown princess and princess of Taiping, was appointed as the queen. Education is divided into three stages, primary school, middle school, and university, of which primary school is mandatory and free of charge. And formulated the first special law of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou Education Law. Of course, correspondingly, the imperial examination will be reformed, and the content of the original imperial examination will remain unchanged for three years.

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the Great Zhou Dynasty was redivided into 70 provinces, five prefectures directly under the central government, including Najuju, the land of Gyeonggi, and six special districts located in the border area, with a total of 81, taking the meaning of 99 to one. It was divided into eight functional areas of military administration, and the National Defense Force and the Great Zhou Guard Army were established, as well as the National Defense Law. The constitution stipulates that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are unconditionally loyal to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty enjoy education, childbirth, business, imperial examinations, and recommendations...... and so on. Of course, the constitution stipulates that the national defense army and the guard army are unconditionally loyal and subordinate to the Great Zhou Emperor. In short, the creation of the constitution made it so that the army would always be firmly in the hands of the emperor, unless the emperor was really a straw bale.

In the third year of Kaiyuan, the Great Zhou Agricultural Law, Water Conservancy Law, Land Law, and Financial Law were established, and began to include households, re-measure land, vigorously encourage agricultural planting innovation, and derived from the Spark Award Xingnong Award, with a bonus of up to 100,000 yuan. At the same time, the sword against the family slowly stretched out to liquidate the family's crimes.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, the land policy of "apportioning the land into the mu" was implemented, and this policy was not changed to the land contract system until 30 years later. At the same time, the new imperial examination was implemented, and the imperial examination was divided into different categories, and the subjects tested were also different depending on the department in which they were examined. Although there are drawbacks to such an imperial examination, under the current situation of the Great Zhou Empire, the talents taken will be more practical!

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the grain tax of the Great Zhou Dynasty doubled, and the Great Zhou Dynasty expanded its army by 200,000 for the first time since the opening of the Yuan Dynasty. and vigorously develop maritime trade. At the end of the year, envoys from the French Empire and the Byzantine Empire met with the Great Zhou Emperor, and when the envoys saw the prosperity of the Great Zhou Empire. He returned home two years later, and nearly 100 years later, the two countries sent envoys as many as 20 times. Of course, the Great Zhou did not close the country, nor did it claim to be the Celestial Empire, under the supervision of Wu Zheng, the Great Zhou envoy composed of the 14 princes visited the West and traveled to Western countries for ten years. From now on, someone from the royal family will have to take on this important role. It was also this year that Lou Shide and Di Renjie and other old ministers paid tribute. Wu Chuan immediately stipulated that the age of officials should be graded according to their ranks, ranging from 70 years old at the ministerial level and above, to 65 years old at the lower level.

In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, the Divine Emperor of Heaven died. The whole nation mourned for seven days. Emperor Wu Chu of the Great Zhou Dynasty then set Chang'an as the accompanying capital, and for the first time came to Chang'an, living in Daming Palace. Soon, the site was selected to build a mausoleum, according to the meaning of Wu Zheng, it was to build a mausoleum.

In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji rebelled and was annihilated, and Li Dan was demoted to the rank of national prince. Li Xian asked for a knighthood, but Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er had already given birth to Lin'er, and Wu Zong had to be demoted to the king of the county. Soon the queen Li Lingyue was abolished as a concubine. Liyu Wen Su'e is the queen, and at this time, the stone in Wu Chu's heart has fallen, but the prince has still not been established.

In the eighth year of Kaiyuan, the grain tax of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose year by year, and the granary reserves were sufficient. The army was expanded by 300,000. By this time, the Great Zhou army totaled 1.2 million, in addition to the 200,000 troops stationed in Gyeonggi. Each of the eight military regions has 100,000 troops, and the rest are border troops stationed in the frontier. Suddenly, one day, Wu Chongyong came with his wife and three children, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fan Lihua cried with joy, and Wu Chu also shed tears, and after beating the family law, he asked him to serve by his side.

In the ninth year of Kaiyuan, Di Renjie and Lou Shide passed away one after another, and the court mourned, because the two made outstanding meritorious deeds, and were buried with national rites, and were crowned the king of the county. Also in May of this year, Wu Zong ordered the Yizhou Military Region and the Liangzhou Military Region to be the vanguard, sending an additional 300,000 troops to attack Tubo, in June, the two armies broke through in Songzhou and Heyuan respectively, in July, the main army defeated Tubo, in August to attack some cities, in September the major tribes of Tubo surrendered, in October Tubo Zanpu surrendered, and escorted to Chang'an. Since then, Tibet has been divided into the Tubo Special Zone and the Tuyuhun Special Zone. In the first battle of Tubo, Qi Liang showed his talent as a general and became the first commander of the military region of the Tubo Special Region, of course, after many years, he became the deputy minister of the Great Zhou National Defense Army, and his experience became an inspirational legend of the Great Zhou, which has been inspiring future generations.

In the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty formulated the first tax law, incorporated taxes into the law, and soon created the Trade Law and so on. After many years as an official abroad, Song Jing returned to the cabinet, became a new cabinet member, and took charge of the Ministry of Finance. A few years later, after the outbreak of Yao Yuanchong's corruption case, Zhishi entered the advisory court, and Song Jing served as the first assistant for ten years.

In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, the Great Zhou sent 100,000 troops to conquer Silla in the name of trade, and the remaining Silla month was incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou and became the Silla Special Zone. At this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty made great strides in agriculture, casting, weapons, gunpowder, navigation, and so on. In particular, the discovery of the three laws of mechanics and the laws of electricity and heat in Wuzhou has made a qualitative leap in Dazhou science and technology, and the improvement of steel quality has made the first hydraulic machine tool manufactured.

In the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, in the name of trade, the Great Zhou Dynasty invaded the Tianzhu countries with an army of 30,000, and in the same year, the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu perished, and the Khorasan region was also included in the territory of the Great Zhou. The Great Food Country sent envoys to the Great Zhou to discuss the border issue. In the following years, there were constant disputes with the Great Food Country, if it weren't for Wu Chu knowing that the territory was too big to manage in this era, he would have wanted to destroy the Great Food, but he still pushed the defense line to the area of Talas City. It was also in this year that the oppressed Hui tribes were annexed, and Wuqi set up the Mobei Special Zone, which was appropriately autonomous by election and appointment by the Great Zhou Emperor, but the border guards belonged to the unified management of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, industrial rubber had a qualitative leap, and in the same year, Wu Zong sold most of his catering and entertainment at low prices, created the Great Zhou Imperial Group, and participated in the control of the Imperial Group in the form of a contract, and the Imperial Group was divided into nine sub-groups, which monopolized all walks of life. The Great Zhou Empire also embarked on the road of rapid development and economic expansion.

In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, the first steam locomotive started, this year, Wu Zong was fifty-six years old, he excitedly stroked the smoking front of the locomotive, with tears in his eyes. Empress Yuwen teased that Wu Chuan was still a child. Wu Shui named this first steam locomotive "Genesis".

It was also in this year that a glass light bulb in the palace turned on, and direct current began to officially enter the life of the aristocracy.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Wu Zhi's 60th birthday, on this day, he announced that the heir to the crown prince was the eighteenth son of Concubine Rou, Wu Chongxiu.

In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, Wu Zen was given to the crown prince Wu Chongxiu, who proclaimed himself the emperor, and lived in Daming Palace for a long time with the concubine and Zhishi officials, but the Ministry of Defense has not handed it over, and the new emperor needs to be examined for a few years. In this year, the tax revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty increased from more than 23 million yuan in the first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to 200 million yuan, and the population also increased from 70 million to 180 million. The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the yuan to Yonglong.

In the fifth year of Yonglong, Emperor Wu Chu completely handed over power, and never returned to Luoyang for the rest of his life.

In the tenth year of Yonglong, Empress Yuwen died, Wu Chuan was overwhelmed, and was buried after two months, and placed in his own mausoleum in Wugong, the mausoleum in Wugong County has lasted 30 years since it was built, and it is still being built. In the years that followed, the old concubines died one after another.

In the eleventh year of Yonglong, Emperor Chongxiu presented a stunning girl, Yang Yunu.

In the twentieth year of Yonglong, Wu Chu was eighty years old, and Emperor Wuxiu was fifty-eight years old when he gave the throne to the new emperor Wujin, and he also came to Chang'an to accompany his father. At this time, Da Zhou is developing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, although Wu Chuan is old, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body is still healthy. And Yang Yunu also gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, and Wu Chuan loved it very much.

Another ten years, Wu Chuan 90 years old, these ten years, Wu Chuan not only experienced the pain of losing his wife, but also the pain of losing his son, but after all, he lived to be 90 years old. The bustling city is just a passing cloud, and the stars are changing day by day. The courtiers who followed him had already buried the loess for many years, and even if they were his own children, there were only twenty or thirty people left, and a few of them were sick, which made him very sad. He felt that he was really sad to live a long life.

Although Wu Chongxiu has a tough body, his hair has long been gray, his father's ninetieth birthday, the whole country congratulates, and he is going to do a special thing as a son.

On this day, whether it is the people or officials, or businessmen, or even foreign envoys, they can meet Emperor Shenwu, so on this day, too many people gathered in Daming Palace.

Wu Chuan looked at the pieces of human heads on the Danfeng Pavilion, he sighed lightly, and when the people shouted long live, Wu Chuan raised his glass and thanked: "All the people are flat!" ”

Immediately, as soon as he drank it all, Wu Chongxiu took the wine cup, looked at the people on the square with a smile, and suddenly heard the sound of his father laughing loudly beside him, he was shocked, turned around and looked, only to see Yang Yunu holding Wu Chun, crying: "The husband has gone!" ”

Wu Chongxiu was shocked, only to see that Wu Zheng's face was peaceful, and his eyes were full of smiles, but there was a trace of tears in the corner of his eye.

"Father!" Wu Chongxiu knelt on the ground and shouted, "The God Emperor is dead!" ”

If the Great Zhou can have today's prosperity, then it must be because of one person, that is, Emperor Shenwu, Wu Zheng.

If the Great Zhou can be strong today, then it must be because of one person, this person must be Emperor Shenwu, Wu Qi.

If the Great Zhou can be strong and rich in the future, then it must be because of one person, this person will not be someone else, it is Emperor Shenwu, Wu Chu.

A person's ability is limited after all, but change is often because of a certain person, a certain thing, and a certain time.

Emperor Wuwu died, the whole country mourned, and was buried in Wuling with eighty concubines, nicknamed Shenwu.
