Chapter 139: The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
So I explained how researcher Huang developed this place.
Why we are here, I told these coffins as they were.
After saying that,
But the whole room was silent with the man's voice.
After a long time,
I heard a sigh,
Then the whole world began to shake.
The feeling of a landslide and the ground cracking took me and Victory by surprise,
Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon
But after just shaking for a while,
The tombs were shining all over,
Then the light grew stronger and stronger,
Pointing straight to the crystal coffin in the middle,
It shines so that people can't open their eyes.
When the light dimmed, and I looked at the place,
Next to the crystal coffin,
There was an old man with a white beard standing.
To be precise,
It's an old man covered in white,
White gown, silver hair and beard,
It's all long,
With the breeze in the cave fluttering,
It gives people the feeling of fairy wind bones.
I think
This should be the owner of the tomb we have been looking for so hard.
One step forward,
Just as I was about to say something,
But the old man spoke,
I saw him smile slightly,
Stroking his beard,
Said to me:
"Hehe, two descendants, your courage is really big......"
I thought to myself, you old man, that it is useless to say something,
You think we want to come,
If it weren't for Lao Tzu's confusion to get this 80s,
I can't go back if I am controlled by Huang Zhongzhong,
Who's causing this trouble?
But though I thought in my heart,
You can't say that,
After all, this Lord in front of him,
It's a matter of minutes.
Thinking of this,
I nodded and smiled and said:
"This master, we are also forced, I really don't blame the two of us, I explained it to you just now, if it weren't for that-"
But who knows that I haven't finished speaking,
The old man waved his hand,
glanced at us both again,
In a calm tone, he said:
"Young man, I don't blame you, I also know that in this world, the development of everything has its own laws.
As an ancestor, I should make way for the expansion of the territory of future generations, not to mention, you are all my people's blood and blood ......"
When I heard him say this, I was also stunned,
What do you mean,
Are they all your people?
Don't......
The two of us were stunned,
The old man seems to see our psychology,
Haha laughing,
To continue:
"Housheng, tell you both, my surname is Li, and my name is Longji."
I was stunned for a moment, looked at the victory,
He was also surprised, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Plum...... Plum...... Li Longji?!!
The longest-reigning emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the grandson of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and the third son of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, Li Longji??!!
When I was in school,
I still prefer things like history.
When I was in junior high school, I had this strong interest in enlightened saints such as Li Shimin and Li Longji.
There was even a time when they were all idols,
Naively thinking that when I grow up, I want to be a person who is as dedicated to society as they are.
So on Li Longji's background,
I'm just a treasure.
Let's show off with the audience here, haha.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji (September 8, 685 - May 3, 762), the grandson of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the third son of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, so also known as Li Sanlang, mother Dou Defei. The longest-reigning emperor of the Tang Dynasty (reigned 712–756).
On the first year of the vertical arch on the eighth day of Wuyin (September 8, 685), Li Longji was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Intelligent, decisive and versatile by nature. At first, he was crowned the king of Chu, and later changed to the king of Linzi.
In June of the first year of Tang Long (710), Li Longji and Princess Taiping joined forces to launch the "Tang Long Coup" and kill the Empress Wei group.
In the first year of Xiantian (712), Li Danchan was located in Li Longji, and Li Longji ascended the throne as emperor based on Chang'an Taiji Palace.
Later, Princess Taiping was given to death and obtained the supreme right to rule the country. In the early period of the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he paid attention to putting things in order, appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing and other virtuous ministers, worked hard, and created the extremely prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty - the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.
He attached great importance to the jurisdiction of the border areas, and named Dazuo Rong of Su Mo as the "King of Bohai County", set up the Bohai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Heishui Metropolitan Governor's Office, named the Pi Luo Pavilion of Nanzhao as the King of Yunnan, and named the Guli Pei Luo of the Hui Dynasty as the "Huairen Khan", thus consolidating the unity of the multi-ethnic state.
However, in the later period of his reign, he gradually neglected the government and favored the traitorous ministers Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong;
pampering Yang Guifei, coupled with policy mistakes and reuse of An Lushan and other foreign ethnic groups to try to stabilize the frontier of the Tang Dynasty,
As a result, the Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for eight years, laid the groundwork for the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline.
In the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756), the crown prince Li Heng ascended the throne and respected him as the emperor.
On the first year of Baoying, on the fourth day of Jiayin (May 3, 762), he died of illness in the Shenlong Temple of Chang'an.
At the age of 78, he was called Emperor Ming Xiao, the great sage of Taoism, and the temple was Xuanzong, and he was buried in Tailing.
In order to avoid the name of Emperor Kangxi, Xuanye, the Qing Dynasty mostly called him Emperor Tang Ming, and also had the honorific title of Emperor Kaiyuan Shengwen Shenwu.
For this emperor, because when I was in school, I added a very strong personal color, so I didn't want to mention his later Anshi Rebellion,
just showed a strong interest in his Kaiyuan prosperity.
It is said that during the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty appeared in the prosperous era of nearly 30 years under the rule of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
Because Li Longji's year name is Kaiyuan, it is called Kaiyuan Shengshi, and Kaiyuan Shengshi is the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
According to historical records, during the Kaiyuan period, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, the social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the population increased significantly.
There was even a prosperous scene of "rice flowing fat and corn white, and public and private warehouses were abundant".
Li Longji stabilized the imperial power through a congenital coup d'état, reused Yao Chong, Song Jing and other virtuous ministers to carry out reforms, and political stability brought about economic development.
In particular, the improvement of farming technology, the invention of new agricultural tools, the curved plow, and the irrigation tool barrel cart, greatly increased the development of productivity.
At the same time, Li Longji built large-scale water conservancy projects, checked the fugitive household registration and foreign land, and the empire's finances became abundant, the granaries were full, and the prices were very cheap.
According to historical records:
East to Song (now Henan Shangqiunan) Bian (now Kaifeng, Henan), west to Qizhou (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi), the road is lined up with shops to entertain customers, and the wine and food are abundant.
Each store has a donkey to rent passengers, dozens of miles, called the donkey.
Jingxiang (now Jiangling, Xiangfan, Hubei) in the south, Taiyuan and Fanyang (now Beijing) in the north,
West to Shuchuan (now Chengdu, Sichuan), Liangfu (that is, Liangzhou, now Wuwei, Gansu), there are shops,
For business travel, it is suitable for thousands of miles, and it does not hold an inch.
It can be seen that at that time, there were abundant products, prosperous commerce, developed transportation, and social stability
。 By the twentieth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the total population of the Tang Dynasty had reached 80 million, more than 1.5 times that of the early Tang Dynasty.
Later, the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu described the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in "Two Songs of Reminiscences":
"Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, Xiaoyi still has thousands of rooms. The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant. ”
It can be seen that the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period.
Consolidate the territory, and all nations will come to court
The territory of the empire expanded everywhere, and the Turks, Korea, Vietnam, and the Western Regions all submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and by the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, they were already on the defensive.
At the height of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's influence extended to the oasis region of Central Asia, establishing a vast territory of 10.76 million square kilometers stretching from northern Vietnam in the south, the Angara River basin in Russia in the north, Uzbekistan in the west, and Jilin and Heilongjiang in the east.
The prestige of the empire was as far as Dacia, and there was an endless stream of envoys and merchants from various countries, forming a prosperous situation of "every three years, and all countries tend to Heluo".
Therefore, for such a wise and martial emperor,
I've been his "little fan brother" since I was a child.
Unexpectedly,
I actually saw a real person today,
I was speechless with excitement.
So in the same place, in a fragmented manner,
I've never even seen me like this,
whispered to me:
"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you, why did you become so twisted."
I said in my heart that you know a fart,
I see the idol of my heart,
It's like those little girls seeing the Korean Oba at the concert,
I can stand here without going crazy,
It's already my greatest restraint.
Because I know subconsciously,
Now is not the time to grovel,
There's still something to do between us,
The conflict between the development site and the cemetery has not yet been resolved.
