Another four days passed, during which Gu Chengyu took a day off, and today he is still sorting out books in Wenhua Pavilion. However, the compilation of these books is nearing completion.

Gu Chengyu looked at the books that had been labeled on the shelves and placed in different categories, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it was finally over. He's been eating ashes here for the past few days, and it's really choking. However, fortunately, I also saw some precious wild history or solitary books.

Regarding the records of historical books, in fact, sometimes the official history books are not accurate, and he found some clues in some books, which happened to overturn the previous history books. In order to beautify the emperor's words and deeds, the truth of some facts will be covered up.

It can be said that historical books are generally compiled according to the emperor's wishes, and Gu Chengyu also found some records of the life and deeds of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in these books.

There are not many books of this kind, after all, the Qing Dynasty did not last many years, and this dynasty was very short. And some of the books must have been destroyed, and all that remains is something that has nothing to do with the life of the court. Even if there is a mention, it is a side.

But these books all fully explain that this Yuanqing brother is a colleague who has crossed over. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the national strength was strong, and the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty had begun.

But a young man appeared halfway, he was just a grassroots. But he pulled up some people to follow him to fight the country. He was very brave and good at fighting, and within a year, he took many cities, ceded land as king, and completely opposed the imperial court. Ignoring the court's recruitment, he was bent on sitting on the throne himself.

As a result of the war, people have been displaced, killed and injured, and in some places most of them have been uprooted from their homes. The fields were untended and overgrown with weeds.

Gu Chengyu didn't have to think about it to know that the people at that time must have been complaining. Their peaceful days were shattered and they lived a life of displacement. Don't think that the war has nothing to do with the people, where does the food and grass and the money needed for the war come from?

The imperial court needed silver and grain and grass, and the rebels also needed silver and grain and grass. They all increased the land tax and the human income tax to get these. Soldiers are definitely needed to fight a war, and this is again a strong man selected from every family.

Zhuang Ding is the pillar of the family, and he is dragged to fight, how can the family live? Besides, the cruelty of war goes without saying, the number of dead and wounded soldiers is unknown. Some of the strong men are gone forever, and the imperial court is in a time of crisis, and will not pay pension money at all.

Such troubled times lasted for seven years, and finally Yuan Qing was victorious, and he succeeded in founding the Qing Dynasty. When the dynasty was first established, everything was left to be rebuilt, so it was naturally exempted from the previous harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, allowing the people to return to their hometowns and continue their previous lives.

But can the people not be resentful in their hearts? Their original life was very comfortable, but it was ruined by the war launched by Yuan Qing. They don't care who is the emperor, as long as the emperor can lead them to a good life.

Although the imperial court recuperated for several years, the life of the people still did not return to the abundance of food and clothing as before. And in those years, the imperial court fought war year after year, the treasury was empty, and even small and remote countries were intervened.

In such a situation of internal and external troubles, Yuan Qing was able to sit on the throne of the emperor, and Gu Chengyu still admired him a little.

Although there must be a lot of hidden dangers, at least Yuan Qing has been in power for more than 30 years, and he can still suppress it.

From the words and deeds recorded in the books, Gu Chengyu can find some modern words that occasionally pop up, as well as some of Yuan Qing's habits, all of which exude a strong modern atmosphere. However, his previous profession seems to be related to martial arts, and Gu Chengyu guesses that he is a mercenary and has good skills.

It's a pity that there is no development in agriculture or industry, which shows that these are not good for him. Only the creation of the pavilion body can be regarded as a reform for the imperial examination!

Yuan Qing himself didn't understand these things, but in the early stage, he could be regarded as knowing how to make good use of them. When he sat firmly on the throne, he opened Enke and recruited many good people to serve him.

At that time, the scholars were all rejoicing, because the number of students for the examination was very wide, and this was the best time for them to carp and jump into the dragon gate.

It's a pity that Yuan Qing was obsessed with women later, so that her body was hollowed out. gave birth to so many princes, naturally they all eyed the throne. In the end, it caused a dispute over the storage position, but it was exploited by the family surnamed Zhao at that time.

In the end, the dynasty founded by this time-traveling colleague fell apart after only thirty-two years.

Gu Chengyu flipped through some books again and learned about some of the general hidden dangers of this dynasty. Needless to say, the biggest hidden danger is the emptiness of the national treasury. Originally, when Yuan Qing launched the war, the treasury had already bottomed out. Later, although he recuperated, the treasury was still not full.

Later, the Dayan Dynasty was established, and it was the same as waiting to be revived. In addition, the soldiers guarding the border needed a lot of grain, grass and silver, and Daxing deducted the border from time to time, and when it was too much, the Dayan Dynasty could only choose to fight.

There is an empty treasury inside, and there are Tartars buckled outside, which is simply a dilemma inside and outside. This is just a matter of the emptiness of the treasury, Emperor Huiming has been unwell for many years, and the examination has been changed to once every three years, and the good talents are less enriched, plus Xia Shou's auxiliary power is inclined to the government and the opposition, and the court will soon become his Yiyan Hall, which is another hidden danger.

Gu Chengyu could guess the emperor's intentions, when the emperor overthrew the Qing Dynasty, those families made a lot of efforts. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he rewarded meritorious ministers, and some titles were not only hereditary, but also gave Danshu iron coupons.

The power of the family is growing day by day, and Emperor Huiming was left with this mess before the death of the first emperor. As long as these families are not guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, they will not be able to move at all. But if Emperor Huiming didn't move them, he would have to be stripped of imperial power.

Since they can't move, they can only support some upstarts to compete with them, slowly kill the family's henchmen, and weaken their power. There may also be reasons for the change to triennialism.

The main force of the imperial examination has never been poor students, and most of those who cannot inherit the title will choose to enter the imperial examination. Extending the time can also effectively reduce the number of descendants of the family to fill the court.

Emperor Huiming has been fighting with those families for most of his life, and if you want to say why you support Xia Qing, it is related to Xia Qing's personal ability. If Xia Qing was born in troubled times, he would be a hero. He has the ability to do one, and even more than that his teacher does not have, that is, insidious and cunning.

Cough! How can the court be able to use yang to conspire? That has to be a conspiracy together. And his teacher is upright by nature and upright, so he doesn't care about these, so he can only make way for Xia Qing.

How could the emperor agree to the teacher's resignation just because the teacher advised him not to indulge in alchemy? Therefore, many of Emperor Huiming's words and actions are full of deep meanings behind them.
