Chapter 231: Emperor Tang Ming
In 710 AD, Li Longji launched the Tang Long Rebellion and successfully killed Empress Wei, and respectfully invited his father, Li Dan, to ascend the throne as emperor and himself as the crown prince.
Two years later, in 712 AD, Li Longji, who had regained two years of strength, got rid of Princess Taiping, killed all the henchmen of Princess Taiping, and forced his father to give way to him.
Just as Qin Shi Huang guessed, in the bloody battle two years ago, Qin Shi Huang and Meng Tian conquered Chang'an in one fell swoop with hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, almost eliminating all of Li Longji's forces at that time.
The 50,000 soldiers were swept away, and there were not 1,000 dead in the Imperial Forest Army, in this case, Li Longji was very rational to let go of the throne in his hand and gave him to his father.
This is history, real history. If there is no such a bloody battle, if ...... That girl didn't die, I'm afraid that Li Longji would ascend the throne two years ago, but that's impossible, history, will not change, never.
In 712 AD, Li Longji, who was dressed in a dragon robe, completed the enthronement ceremony under the court of hundreds of officials, and sat on the throne that haunted his dreams.
Dressed in a dragon robe, Li Longji, who was extraordinarily heroic, looked at the ministers who His Royal Highness kowtowed, and looked at the heirloom jade seal placed in front of his bookcase, at this moment, Li Longji, who had achieved his wish, wanted to laugh out loud, and the corners of his mouth were smiling all the time.
He's finally waiting for this day, and he's finally done it! Haha, the throne, the emperor, I am the emperor now, I am the master of the world now!
No one will dare to bully me anymore, and no one will dare to take away my beloved things!
The emperor, the emperor who is in charge of the life and death of the people in the world, in one sentence, I can make people die, and in another word, I can make the world tremble, I am the king of a country, I am the master of the Tang Dynasty...... I....... I miss you so much.
There was a slender figure in a white dress in his sight, looking at the person in front of him, Li Longji's eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist.
It would be nice if you could be by my side now, and if you ....... now? How nice it is for you to see me ascend to the throne.......
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Li Longji loves Wan'er very much, there is no doubt about it, and he ...... I never thought of killing Wan'er, and I can only blame the cruel fate.
"Spread my will, collect the poems left by Shangguan Zhaorong in his life, and compile them into the Tang Book."
This is the first thing Li Longji did when he ascended the throne, collecting all the poems left by the girl and compiling them into the history books, so that future generations can appreciate the amazing talent of the girl.
That's all Li Longji can do, he can't wash the filth off the girl's body, he will never be able to do that, the reason is ....... It's probably jealousy.
He collected the girl's poems, which was to keep them as a souvenir, and he let the girl continue to bear the infamy, which was to teach her a lesson.
This is the punishment she deserves for disobeying me, deceiving me, and failing me!
I am now the Emperor, and anyone who does something wrong must be punished! Even if I love you, nothing will change! Because I am the emperor and I am the creator of order, of course I have to protect the order I have created.
Li Longji, who got carried away, was not so much saying that he was collecting Wan'er's poems to commemorate Wan'er, but that he was showing off and showing off his newly acquired rights.
The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, not to mention Li Longji, a careerist who has been suppressed for too many years.
Today is Li Longji's first time in the early dynasty, I have to say that Wu Zetian's feeling back then was right, Li Longji and Li Shimin are really similar, because they are not Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who can share hardships and hardships, but not wealth and prosperity.
Anyone who swore to follow him in the Tanglong Change, and anyone who shared the joys and hardships with Li Longji, Li Longji made a reward today, and no one was left behind.
Cui Riyong, Chen Xuanli, Wen Changqing, Li Xianyi, Ge Fushun, and Gao Lishi, he has not forgotten any of these people, all of them have been replaced by high-ranking officials Houlu, I have to say that Cui Riyong followed them with a good master, and Li Longji is also a good master, but .......
"Feng Yushi is out of the ranks." After Li Longji finished rewarding Chen Xuanli, he sat lazily on the dragon chair, pointed to His Royal Highness's ministers, and called out Feng Wen's name.
At this time, Feng Wen was already ranked in the imperial history, hearing Li Longji's call, Feng Wen was overjoyed, he knew that Li Longji was going to reward him, a smug smile crossed the corner of his mouth, he stood in the center of the hall, knelt down and saluted: "Minister Feng Wen, see Your Majesty." ”
Li Longji stared at Feng Wen lazily for a while, and then said with a smile: "I can ascend the throne today, but thanks to Feng Aiqing's help, I must thank Feng Aiqing well, let me think about it, what kind of official position is Feng Aiqing?" ”
Li Longji pondered for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Yes, Feng Aiqing, I will make you my prime minister, okay?" ”
Feng Wen was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, may Your Majesty ......" The following words, Feng Wen couldn't say it anymore.
"In addition to appointing Feng Aiqing as my prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, I also want to give Feng Aiqing an honor, always accompanying the emperor! Prime Minister Feng Cheng will go to Zhongzong's mausoleum tomorrow and be buried for him. The corners of Li Longji's mouth outlined a cold smile.
If I'm not mistaken, you should have taken the lead in forcing me to kill Shangguan Zhaorong on that night two years ago, right? Hehe, you got your wish, she is really dead, Prime Minister Feng, your revenge has been avenged, there should be no regrets, right? Go, go to the underworld to accompany your teachers and friends, and go to the underworld to be your prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"Prime Minister Feng, why aren't you grateful? Could it be that my reward is not good? Seeing Feng Wen kneeling on the ground and not speaking for a long time, the smile on Li Longji's face became even stronger.
Feng Wen's body trembled, he slowly raised his head, and stared at the man on the throne for a long time with tears streaming down his face, and finally, Feng Wen kowtowed heavily to Li Longji, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Li Longji smiled, laughing heartily, it turns out that this is what it is like to be an emperor, it turns out that this is the feeling that when the emperor wants to die alone, that person still has to thank the emperor, don't say it, it's really good.
Feng Wen was taken away and dragged down from the court by the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army.
Li Longji killed Feng Wen and killed the person who helped him ascend the throne, can it be said that he did this to avenge Wan'er? No!
Because he didn't kill Feng Wen to help Wan'er avenge at all, he was simply playing, he was simply experiencing the thrill of power and the pleasure that imperial power brought him.
Feng Wen...... can only be said to be an unlucky bastard, he died, not in the matter of killing Wan'er, but in forcing Li Longji to kill Wan'er.
Li Longji was not an emperor before, so he wouldn't do anything to Feng Wen, but now it's different, he is an emperor, he can do whatever he wants, he won't keep Feng Wen, the person who once persecuted him, he will kill him, and use his blood to establish the majesty of his new emperor.
He wants everyone to know what will happen if he offends my majesty!
........
But that's the end of everything, Feng Wen is dead, the majesty of the new emperor is established, and Li Longji finally starts to do business.
He began to deal with government affairs and deal with the mess of the Tang Dynasty that was tossed by Li Xian and Empress Wei.
Li Longji knew that his throne was not glorious, but it didn't matter, was the throne of Emperor Taizong glorious? But isn't he also known as Mingjun?
It doesn't matter whether the throne is glorious or not, what matters is what kind of career the person sitting on the throne will do!
As long as he Li Longji does a good enough, as long as he Li Longji can make the people of the Tang Dynasty live a good life, who will accuse him of the gloomy throne in the future?
Everyone will only be grateful to him Li Longji, everyone will sing the praises of his Li Longji's exploits, and there will be no unsightly guy to talk about that dark past.
Li Longji is also such a person, he is capable, more talented, and he deserves to be a wise man when he is young.
After ascending the throne, Li Longji immediately began to carry out drastic reforms, he abolished many irrational policies of the previous dynasty, repeatedly simplified the official organs, and eliminated many useless people.
Not only that, he also attaches great importance to the selection of local officials, Li Longji's thinking is more advanced, he believes that although the central officials have great rights, have the right to govern the whole world, but in fact, the people are the most important thing in this country, and it is the local officials and county orders that deal with the people, so to speak, local officials represent the people's impression of the Tang Dynasty and the country.
Local officials are the group of people who represent the image of the Tang Dynasty.
So Li Longji ordered that every year the local county magistrates must go to Beijing to accept his interview, and he will communicate with these local county magistrates on the spot, and at the same time, he will personally test them, answer correctly, be promoted, answer wrong, go home to farm, behead directly when he encounters corruption and pervert the law, and the whole family will be assigned to Lingnan.
It can be seen that in Li Longji's policy, the people occupy a lot of weight, worthy of Emperor Tang Ming, how can people who can put the people first not create a prosperous era?
In 712 A.D., Li Longji ascended the throne as emperor, and changed the year of Kaiyuan, which was also the prosperous era of Kaiyuan in history.
From 712 to 741, a total of 29 years later, in these 29 years, Li Longji made great efforts to govern, reform the bureaucratic system, and vigorously develop the economy, so that the world was under great rule, the political situation was stable, the economy was prosperous, the culture was prosperous, and the national strength was rich and strong, and the Tang Dynasty entered its heyday, and became the most powerful country in the world at that time, known as the "Kaiyuan Dynasty"
Li Longji did it, he personally opened a prosperous era, and personally opened a prosperous dynasty belonging to him Li Longji.
In the Kaiyuan period, he was a Ming Jun, a Ming Jun who could really be compared to Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, just as he thought, it doesn't matter if the throne is dark or not, what matters is what kind of benefits the person sitting on the throne will bring to the people, and what kind of great achievements will be made.
During the Kaiyuan period, the people's living standards were rising steadily, and everyone was grateful to the current emperor, Li Longji, and the emperor who made them live a good life.
In the era of peace and prosperity, the real era of peace and prosperity, Li Longji created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and created the Tang Dynasty with his own hands....... The last splendor.
Not bad, the last glory.
Li Longji, he is not a Ming Jun, he is a sinner, he is a sinner of the Tang Dynasty!
In the future, no one will sing his praises again, everyone will only scold him, and everyone will only scold him for his mediocrity!
Because he committed an unforgivable sin, because he ...... Unleashed a demon with his own hands.
Maybe now he has forgotten that he has taken that girl, and that ...... The madman was forgotten in the deepest recesses of his memory.
The girl is dead, nothing will happen.
But the madman is still alive.
Li Longji, you shouldn't have done so much, and you shouldn't have shot that arrow back then, because you ...... It's a good guy who drove him crazy.
Prepare, get ready to accept the revenge of the madman.
No one can stop it, the gears of fate are already turning.
No one can stop, and everyone is trapped in the cage of fate.
