Chapter 258: Zhenguan Begins

In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Yuan took the initiative to abdicate and abdicate with his second son Li Shimin. In essence, Li Yuan didn't want to be the emperor for a long time, he felt that what he did was boring, and many government decrees were pushed back by the Shangqing Sect, saying that the emperor had made a promise, and he had become "a word and a nine"; In order to wait and see which son is more suitable to be the emperor, the power was divided between the two, but in the end, it became a fight between the two brothers, and the eldest son Li Jiancheng also died in Xuanwumen; Every time I think about it, I stuff my heart once, Li Yuan also looks a lot older because of this matter, since the second child likes this position so much, Li Yuan decided to be an adult, and gave this angry position to Li Shimin, who wanted to sit on it, so that he could experience the feeling of being angry. Li Yuan abdicated, Li Shimin took the throne, before the two handed over, Li Yuan closed the door and began to arrange for Li Shimin. Li Yuan felt that he was very wronged, he was a good emperor, just because the Li family produced Li Xiaogong, an immortal, and he was not an emperor at all, so behind closed doors, Li Yuan scolded Li Shimin at Li Shimin and greeted him, and then asked Li Shimin to regain the dominance of the Li family in his lifetime, Li Shimin naturally nodded yes, and then gave various instructions.

It's a pity that not long after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he went to Zhongnan God to visit Li Xiaogong, promising to vigorously promote the policies of Puritanism, not to mention, and constantly asking for advice on other issues. It's how to make a fortune in war! How to use the wealth made in the war to boost the national strength, and so on. After Li Shimin stayed at Li Xiaogong's place for a few days, the war machine of the entire Tang Dynasty in Nanshan was running in horror. No way, although he is on the throne now, he is very poor! Although it is said that in recent years, because the people of the Qing Sect have been much richer, and the treasury also has a lot of inventory, but those things he can move are really limited, and what Li Yuan left him is only a country to be developed, and the private treasury of the entire royal family can be said to have made Comrade Li Yuan almost consume, and Li Shimin, who is poor and white, will naturally not sit still, and thinks of Li Xiaogong's means of collecting money, and directly comes to the door to seek advice.

Li Shimin's performance in the peak of Emperor Zhongnan Mountain inevitably reached the ears of Emperor Li Yuan, and the angry Li Yuan was almost about to find Li Shimin's real PK, but he held back, Li Yuan was very angry, the consequences were very serious, and several sets of exquisite porcelain were wiped out; Li Yuan is really angry! Why did you give birth to such a thing, it's too cowardly! It's not like himself at all, and those words were all said in vain before his mother's accession to the throne; Before his second son ascended the throne, he promised himself to scold Li Xiaogong, but as soon as Nima changed his position, he immediately ran to kneel down to add Li Xiaogong, knowing that his second son was behaving like this, he should have shot him on the wall in the first place.

Li Yuan was panicked in his heart! But Li Shimin was very happy, from Li Xiaogong how to make a fortune in the war, how to use the war to strengthen himself, he felt that he could follow what Li Xiaogong said step by step, step by step to develop the Tang Dynasty into a giant, then the history will only record, he Li Shimin's great achievements, as for Li Xiaogong, the immortal, squat in the temple to enjoy the incense, historians will let an immortal write in the history books? Don't make a fuss, in the history books of the immortals, doesn't that show that the group of people in their court is very incompetent. As for his father Li Yuan thinking that he was cowardly, Li Shimin disagreed very much, what's wrong with cowardice a little? It's really good for yourself! Like his own father, what if he is very strong, and he is not angry with Li Xiaogong? Rather than being angry head-on, it is better to change your thinking and encourage yourself to develop yourself by getting some benefits from others. Of course, Li Shimin thinks like this, and it also has a necessary connection with Li Shimin's character, Li Shimin can endure this person, he is a realistic pragmatist, as long as you can bring me benefits, I can bear you for a while! Historically, the scholar clan was powerful, like the five surnames and seven wangs because of the Xuanwumen incident, they directly did not bird Li Shimin, but Li Shimin still didn't endure it, Wei Zheng, as a troll with five surnames and seven hopes, often sprayed Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was still enduring; In the late Zhenguan period, when the strength of the imperial power was already firm, what did Li Shimin do? You, Wei Zheng, spray me, I'm cool, right? It doesn't matter if you die, I'll get your whole family, look at Wei Zheng, just because of a little thing, he was pulled out by Li Shimin to win the title in the later period of Zhenguan, not to mention, the Wei family didn't have any benefits; This is completely because Li Shimin's imperial power has been firmly established at this time, and he is not afraid that getting you Wei Zheng will cause public anger, of course, as the five surnames and seven hopes behind Wei Zheng, he has also been scolded a lot by Li Shimin, but the five surnames and seven hopes are too powerful and too widely involved, and Li Shimin is not sure to take root and take care of it.

The first four years of the Zhenguan Dynasty can be said to have been spent in the war, and other courts are getting poorer and poorer, and Li Shimin directly gave up the Confucian set because he consulted Li Xiaogong, and practiced hegemonism; I beat you, you lose the money, and if you win, I will continue to beat you again, until I cripple you, the cattle, sheep and livestock, young and strong men and women in the war, all captured back to the Central Plains, and the land, minerals, and precious trees are all occupied first, and the people of the Central Plains are completely provided with the land of Siyi.

In the past, the wars of all dynasties were only based on the destruction of the other party's vital forces, and the property and population were completely gifts, and even some of the people who were captured in the war were put back after the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and the other party's vital forces were not wiped out, and the property was not taken away, and they must be getting poorer and poorer, and after the other party recuperated for a period of time, they could organize a large army; Now after Li Shimin was instructed by Li Xiaogong, all the cattle, sheep and livestock, young and strong men and women were captured back to the Central Plains for me, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Eastern and Western Turks, Goryeo, Jinluo, Baekje, Tuxgu, and Tubo around the Tang Dynasty had been beaten by the Tang Dynasty, and the remnants and the fleeing had fled, and the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions had become a bare Gobi. Of course, in the past few years, Shangqingism has been deeply rooted in the bones of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and now Shangqingism is already a proper state religion. Because Li Shimin didn't know what to think, he directly handed over the army of the Tang Dynasty to the Shangqingjiao, and the two sides were mixed, and those who did not meet the standards of the Shangqingjiao army would naturally be eliminated, and the rest were all elite soldiers and strong generals. Every time there is a war with a foreign country, a big victory is returned, and Li Shimin will naturally not forget the people of Datang, although he will not give real money to the people, but there will be good income, such as tax cuts and rent reductions, etc., and the people will naturally fully support foreign wars when they see the benefits.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the surrounding area of Datang has been beaten into a vacuum area, the remnants of the remnants, fleeing and fleeing, there is no longer a country to compete with the Tang Dynasty, although it is said that absolute power brings absolute corruption, Datang has reached its peak state at the moment, and this is the unchanging law of nature, but this has nothing to do with Li Xiaogong.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the dragon turned over in Wannian County near Chang'an, and the two counties under the jurisdiction of Chang'an and Lantian were close to the year of the dragon's turnover, and some people's villages were directly destroyed, and a large number of houses collapsed, directly causing property losses that could not be estimated. Zhenguan's seven-year earth dragon turned over, in fact, it was the movement of the birth of the Wild Goose Palace, Lu Miaozi had already calculated the general time and position, and the natural Li Xiaogong definitely didn't want too many people to pay attention to the Wild Goose Palace, so Zhenguan directly told Li Shimin at the beginning of the seventh year that when would the earth dragon turn over in that position this year. Li Shimin was anxious when he heard it, the so-called earth dragon turned over, in modern terms, it is an earthquake, a natural disaster like an earthquake, not to mention ancient times, even if the modern social instruments are so advanced, they can't be detected at all, at most, every time the earthquake is over, the XX bureau ran out and said, in fact, we have detected this earthquake, the problem is that you detected it, why didn't you notify the evacuation of compatriots in the earthquake area in advance? Earthquakes cannot be detected in modern society, let alone ancient times, Zhang Heng greatly invented a seismograph and only detected it during earthquakes, there is an earthquake, let's go to the rescue! Therefore, when the earthquake was in the Tang Dynasty, it was directly attributed to the result of the wrath of God; After the earthquake, the emperor didn't have to do anything else, first issued an edict, admitted his mistake to God, and then considered the problem of rescue, as for the post-disaster reconstruction, then I don't know what year and month it will be.

Now when Li Shimin heard Li Xiaogong tell himself, there was a ground dragon near Chang'an this year, which directly scared Li Shimin, I wiped it, and I didn't do anything bad! It's nothing more than sending his brother to Elysium, why is the heavens angry? It's not scientific, it's not scientific! Fortunately, there is an immortal of his cousin, who can tell himself in advance that there is a earth dragon to turn over, and he can do the prevention work, or if he really wants the earth dragon to turn over, he will not be sprayed to death by those diehard elements of Li Jiancheng's family! When it came to the position under his buttocks, Li Shimin exerted his super high passion and personally led the team to Wannian County to pick up people, as long as it was the village within the range of Lu Miaozi's painting of the earth dragon turned over, all of them were moved away by me! What ancestral land will not be moved? Someone came to carry this old thing away for me. Over 70 years old! In the Tang Dynasty, those who are over sixty years old begin to have privileges, they can see officials without kneeling, state support, and so on! Therefore, for the kind of people who are over 60 years old in some villages, people recognize their ancestral land and do not move their nests, you can't scold and scold, and you can't beat them, so in desperation, Li Shimin decided to send people to lift these old guys up and not get angry with them.

There are always people who do not believe in evil in the world, although Li Xiaogong claims to be an immortal, but obviously not everyone believes in it, and the old people in several villages in Wannian County belong to this ranks, although the front foot let Li Shimin send someone to carry it away, and the back foot ran back by himself, when the earthquake occurred, no one survived. The lucky ones survived, and the disobedient ones themselves flipped into the earth with the earth dragon. Due to the full arrangement in advance, the earth dragon turned over did not cause much trouble to Li Shimin, after the earthquake, immediately sent soldiers and horses to start the reconstruction work, won the people's praise has been praised, of course, Li Xiaogong's name of the immortal, completely sounded in the north and south of the river, there is no way to predict the earth dragon in advance of the immortal, too bull X.

But after the earth dragon turned over, the world completely lost the trace of Li Xiaogong, and a large number of high-level leaders of the Upper Qing Sect disappeared. Some people say that Li Xiaogong came to the world for the Tang Dynasty, and after the completion of the earth dragon's turnover, there is no disaster in this world, Li Xiaogong naturally went back to the upper realm, and some people say that Li Xiaogong lost his trace in order to pacify the earth dragon; Of course, there are even more outrageous legends. Slowly with the death of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Li Chengqian died, his son ascended the throne, Li Xiaogong has also become a legend, and the legend of Li Xiaogong has slowly disappeared into history, or only the legend of Li Xiaogong is still recorded in the national religion classics of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, after Li Xiaogong disappeared, the most benefited belonged to Li Xiaogong's nominal disciple Li Chengqian, without Li Xiaogong's Puritanism, Li Chengqian smoothly took over the position of the head of the sect, of course, the former dark hall elder Shi Long did not know whether he was arranged by Li Xiaogong, and contributed the most in the process of Li Chengqian's succession. After Li Chengqian took over the throne, Shi Long had the merit of escorting, and successfully gave birth to the Great Elder, and it didn't take long for him to break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, and continue to go to the Qing Sect After the original ten great grandmaster realm masters collectively disappeared, the Tang Dynasty finally had another Great Grandmaster Realm master, Li Chengqian also Li Shimin died and took over the throne, and combined the position of the Shangqing Sect and the throne into one, achieving the unification of imperial power and divine power, and every emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future is the head of the Puritan religion on the state religion, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, before this, due to Li Chengqian's great power, Li Shimin finally realized the embarrassing situation that Li Yuan was forced by him and Li Jiancheng back then.
