Chapter 500: The Finale
…
After Li Xiang ascended the throne, with the full support of Li Cun, all the maladministrations of Li Cun and Li Biao were cut off.
Because Li Xiang was ruthless and showed no mercy to anyone, many of Li Cun's children and grandchildren were quite dissatisfied with Li Xiang, and Li Xiang's insistence on moving the capital almost made Li Xiang unable to be re-elected.
Later, it was Li Zheng who did the work of many of his children and grandchildren under his own rules, so that Li Xiang was re-elected.
After Li Lian took office, he immediately moved the capital of the Daqian Dynasty from Nanjing to Beijing.
Li Cun did not move the capital with him, but has been living in Nanjing, which is picturesque and pleasant.
It is precisely because of this that Li Cunzhi completely left the power center of the Daqian Dynasty, allowing Li Xiang to completely control the Daqian Dynasty.
The 12 years of Li Xiang's reign further consolidated the foundation of the Daqian Dynasty and further strengthened the rule of the Daqian court over the vassal states.
The key is that after these 12 years of development, the industrial revolution of the Daqian Dynasty broke out further.
During Li Xiang's tenure, he built hundreds of large-scale thermal power stations and hydropower stations, making electricity a common source of energy for the common people, not only electric lights entered the homes of ordinary people, but also a large number of electrical appliances were invented during this period.
More than 30 years ago, under the auspices of Li Cun, the Daqian Dynasty developed the train.
After continuous improvement, the trains of the Daqian Dynasty have entered the era of electric locomotives.
- The electric locomotive is the second generation of the engine of the train, which uses electricity to drive the train. Electric locomotives can already reach speeds of up to a hundred miles per hour.
This makes trains a much faster and more efficient means of transportation, and is widely used in transportation and tourism.
At the same time, the automobile research and development of the Daqian Dynasty also developed rapidly.
Last year, the gasoline-engined four-wheeled trucks manufactured by the Daqian Dynasty were equipped with the latest engines, and their capacity and speed reached the level of the liberated automobiles in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In addition, the Daqian Dynasty had already developed telephones on the basis of the telegraph, and the Daqian Dynasty had been actively laying telephone lines, and by the end of Li Xiang's term of office, the telephone lines between the major cities of the Daqian Dynasty had been almost laid.
These inventions played a great role in consolidating the rule of the Daqian Dynasty.
Let's put it this way, in the 12 years that Li Xiang was in charge of the Daqian Dynasty, the Daqian Dynasty developed a series of epoch-making things.
These things have greatly promoted the development of productive forces, whether it is people's life or industry, there has been a great progress, but also prompted the emergence of new industries such as electric lights, automobiles and chemicals, these things and their industries have made the Daqian Dynasty more powerful, and economic growth has also appeared a new high.
Crucially, these scientific and technological developments made the communication between the Daqian dynasties more convenient and rapid.
In this way, the world market was further formed.
At present, the whole world is moving forward at a high speed centered on the Daqian Dynasty itself.
But—
There is not only a good side to everything, but also a bad side.
The increase in productivity makes production more concentrated, which means the emergence of monopolies.
In other words, some capitalists have begun to appear, the masses are increasingly divided into the bourgeoisie and the working class, and social contradictions and opposites have begun to form.
In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor, the expansion of the urban population, the housing crowding, environmental pollution and other drawbacks have also begun to appear.
The monster released by Li Cun himself has begun to be a little out of control, and even Li Cun can't guess what kind of impact it will have on the economy, politics, culture, military, science and technology, productivity, and environment of human society.
The only thing Li Cun can do is to guide in the best direction as much as possible.
For example:
Li Cun has now put forward the concept of environmental protection, and vigorously encourages the development of green energy, such as electricity, hydropower, solar energy, wind energy and so on.
To be more specific, such as cars and trains, Li Cun has guided researchers to develop in electricity and hydrogen.
Like agriculture, taking advantage of the fact that oil and fertilizer agriculture has not yet appeared, Li Cun vigorously promoted the development of ecological agriculture through Li Xiang and others.
But then again, Li Cun can also try his best to guide, and Li Cun doesn't know what this society will develop into in the end.
What's more, although Li Cun still has a huge influence, he has taken a back seat after all.
Although it can't be said that people go to tea and cool, what Li Cun can control now is actually not as good as Li Xiang, who is still in power.
In the later period of Li Xiang's rule, in terms of power, Li Xiang basically surpassed Li Cun in an all-round way.
It's just that Li Xiang has always been filial to Li Cun, and even comes to Nanjing to visit Li Cun twice a year.
As soon as the ten-year term expired, many people were worried that Lee Sang, who had been very strong during his reign, would hold the throne.
didn't want to, Li Xiang happily gave up the throne to Li Di.
In Li Xiang's words: "I can rest assured that I will hand over the big cadres to my fourth brother." ”
As Li Xiang said, in the 12 years that Li Xiang has been in power, Li Di has been conscientious and conscientious, and has become Li Xiang's biggest helper and is deeply trusted by Li Xiang.
In addition, Li Di also has an extremely strong team in his hands.
Among them, Qin Zhen bore the brunt of this, and his talent in the economy even made Li Qi, who was good at the economy, bow down.
It can be said that in the past few years, the economic direction of the Daqian Dynasty has been controlled by Qin Zhen.
In addition to Qin Zhen, Li Di also has a great talent in his hands.
This person is Liuzheng.
This Liuzheng is a Jinshi of Hongwu for 33 years, he is honest and honest, outspoken and daring, and has a great talent for governing the country.
In history, this Liuzheng is not an ordinary person, he is the master of filial piety, Guangzong, Ningzong three dynasties, tired officials signed the Privy Council, the right prime minister, the left prime minister, the young master Guan Wendian University scholar and other positions, successively received the title of Shen Guogong, Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong, after his death to give the Taishi, Zhen Zhongxuan, Shao Xichu, worship the left prime minister, during his reign, the law, cherish the name, raise talents, and in the palace struggle can be tolerant and generous, dedicated to the public and do not do anything for selfishness, Song Xiaozong called it "pure sincerity can be trusted", "true prime minister also", He was a rare virtuous minister in the early Southern Song Dynasty in history.
Moreover, Li Xiang and Li Di already have a tacit understanding, and Li Xiang's team, that is, Shi Hao and others, will also be left for Li Di to use.
In short, Li Xiang and Li Di are very shy.
It is true that after Li Di ascended the throne, he not only continued to govern the Daqian Dynasty in accordance with Li Xiang's policy of governance, but he did not agree with Li Xiang to go to Nanjing to serve Li Cun, but left Li Xiang in Beijing, and discussed with Li Xiang from time to time on major matters of governing the country.
Li Di is like this, so many people in the society say that Li Xiang has not been an emperor for ten years, but an emperor for twenty years, and Li Di has been the emperor for ten years, and Li Xiang is making ideas.
But despite such voices in society, Li Di has not changed his habit of liking to discuss with Li Xiang when he has something.
Li Xiang and Li Di also laid a very good example for the later emperor.
It is worth mentioning that after Li Di became the emperor, he was elected as the crown prince and the chairman of the imperial parliament by two unexpected people.
- Li Zhu, the speaker of the Imperial Parliament, who had been very vocal before, was defeated by two young people.
Of course, there is a relationship between Li Zhu and Li Zhu who did not make much achievements during his tenure as the chairman of the imperial parliament, and more importantly, he met two powerful young people.
There are talents from all generations.
In the past 20 years that Li Xiang and Li Di have been in power, a large number of young talents have sprung up in the Daqian Dynasty.
Among them, there are talents with different surnames, as well as royal talents.
Not much to say about the former, starting from Li Cun, the successive emperors of the Daqian Dynasty have attached importance to the cultivation and selection of talents, which makes it impossible for the Daqian Dynasty to lack talents.
Even the latter is also fruitful.
- Maybe it's because Li Cun's genes are too good, or maybe it's because the royal family attaches great importance to cultivating talents, in short, a large number of talents have also emerged in the royal family.
For example, when Li Di succeeded to the throne, Li Yunyu and Li Zong, who were elected as the crown prince and the chairman of the imperial parliament.
At the beginning of the second term of Li Xiang's reign, many vassal states in Europe could not stand this highly centralized rule in the East, coupled with the instigation of some conspirators, they shouted for free dishes, and then revolted one after another.
The scope of that wave of uprisings was so large, so fast, and so wide that the princes and kings could not cope with it at all.
As a last resort, Li Xiang could only send troops to suppress it.
In that battle, two young people of the royal family were killed.
They are Li Yunyu, the third son of Li Qi, Li Cun's sister-in-law, and Li Zong, the son of Li Cunsheng from the Sheng family (Sheng Zheng's sister).
The former, unlike his father who is proficient in eating, drinking, playing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and kicking and cockfighting, is not a martial artist, he has studied hard since he was a child, and practiced martial arts diligently, joined the army at the age of thirteen, and achieved the first level of control in his twenties.
On the European battlefield, the army led by Li Yunyu was invincible, and all the rebel armies were defeated and surrendered, and in only six months, Li Yunyu swept across Europe and quelled the rebellion of the European vassal states, and became famous.
And Li Fang is the son of Li Cun who returned it to the Sheng family after Li Kai's death.
Drawing on the experience of Li Kai's death on the battlefield, the Sheng family strictly forbade her to have three daughters to learn martial arts and go to the battlefield again, but asked Li Fang to change to the route of a civilian official.
I have to say that the Sheng family is still very good at educating children, not only Li Kai made the Sheng family extremely good at education, but Li Fang made the Sheng family even better at education.
Under the education of the Sheng family, Li Fang won the champion at the age of sixteen, and then started his journey in officialdom, from the county order to the deputy envoy of the northwest transfer.
Because Li Fang was very familiar with Central Asia and European countries, and because Li Fang was super capable, Li Xiang asked Li Fang to serve as the European envoy.
As a result, after Li Fang arrived in Europe, he killed all those who participated in the riots.
Li Zong's ruthlessness greatly deterred all those who dared to rebel and rebel, so that there was no rebellion in Europe for two hundred years.
Of course, this is also because in the past two hundred years, Li Cun's descendants have governed well.
The stunning performance of Li Yunyu and Li Fang in Europe won high praise from all the princes and kings.
With the votes of these princes and kings, Yi Yunyu and Yi Fang successfully entered the ranks of the thirty candidates for the crown prince.
In the ten years of experience that followed, Li Yunyu fully demonstrated his outstanding political and governance talents, and Li Zong made people see that he not only had outstanding political talents, governance talents, and iron skills, but he was also the most competent as a soldier.
As a result, these two young men defeated Li Zhu and other strong competitors, one became the crown prince and the other became the speaker of the imperial parliament.
In this process, Li Cun only made one move.
Li Yunyu's chief staff Yelu Chucai was a Khitan.
According to convention, if Li Yunyu becomes the emperor, Yelu Chucai will most likely be the prime minister, at least one of the governors.
This is very different from the previous prime ministers of the Daqian Dynasty who were all Han Chinese.
Therefore, Lee Joo, who felt that he was going to lose the election, seized this point and wanted to force Yelu Chucai, who gave advice to Lee Yunyu, to leave Lee Yunyu's campaign team.
As a result, Li Cun, who had not spoken for a long time, called Yelu Chucai to Nanjing, pretended to talk to Yelu Chucai once, and then said: "This son is a godsend to me, and I can entrust him with military and state affairs in the future." ”
Li Cungai's conclusion on the coffin opened a precedent for the imperial court to use talents in an eclectic manner.
At the same time, Li Cun's intervention also made the unscrupulous Li Zhu completely defeated, laying the foundation for Li Yunyu to become the crown prince.
There's actually a little story here.
That is, Li Yunyu has been working hard in the army before, and then he has been busy with official business, so much so that Li Yunyu has become the crown prince and has never been married.
How can an emperor without an empress be a qualified emperor?
So, after Li Yunyu became the crown prince, the Ministry of Rites began to give Li Yunyu Zhang Luo Crown Princess.
Everyone knows that as long as Li Yunyu's crown princess can be chosen, she can become the queen of the Daqian Dynasty.
Therefore, all high-ranking officials and families sent their best daughters in their families to run for election.
It's also a coincidence, in those days, Li Cun happened to hear that there was a courtesan and female lyricist named Yan Rui in the West Building when the moon was full, and her peach blossom lyrics "Like a Dream Order" shocked everyone, and it is said that there is the meaning of Li Qingzhao's second, and even the famous scholar Taishou Tang Zhongyou and the leader of science Zhu Xi were dumped for her.
Since Li Qingzhao's death, Li Cun missed Li Qingzhao very much, so he took some people to sneak out of the Forbidden City and go to the West Building of the Full Moon to see this Yan Rui.
Not to mention, this Yan Rui is not only beautiful, but also has Li Qingzhao's strength.
Li Cun, don't look at the fact that he is over seventy years old, but he would rather kill the wrong person than let go of that character.
So, Li Cun first conquered Yan Rui with his literary talents, and then ransomed Yan Rui.
When leaving the West Building with Yan Rui, a car happened to drive in front of Li Cun.
At that time, the girl in the car happened to roll down the window and look out, so that Li Cunqing could clearly see her appearance.
This woman is extremely beautiful, in terms of appearance, she is not at all under the Yan Rui that Li Cungang obtained, and her beauty is not only pure, her beauty is pure, but also innocent, stubborn and charming, and her appearance with a light face adds a bit of cold temperament to it, which is not only unique, but also unforgettable.
Beauty, Li Cun has seen too much, too much, and has played too much, too much.
Therefore, although this girl is very beautiful, under normal circumstances, Li Cun would have seen it, and he would not possess her.
However, some things are just meant to be.
The people around Li Cun saw Li Cun staring at this girl, and immediately said:
"Her name is Li Fengniang, the daughter of Li Dao, the squire of the military department, it is said that before Mrs. Li Dao gave birth, a group of black phoenixes flew in front of the military camp, and they couldn't go, so Li Dao named her daughter Feng Niang, and later, Xiangshi Huangfutan went to Li Dao's house as a guest, Li Dao knew that Huangfutan was a famous Xiangshi, so he asked Huangfutan to meet his three daughters, Li Dao's eldest daughter and third daughter were not very special, but when the second daughter Li Fengniang came out to visit, Huangfutan said that this woman was quite expensive, so he did not dare to worship."
Li Cunxin said: "It turned out to be this scourge. ”
This Li Fengniang is the queen of Zhao Duan of Song Guangzong in history, and she is one of the famous queens of the two Song Dynasty and even Chinese history.
Li Fengniang is jealous by nature, although she is the head of the six palaces, and she gave birth to her son Zhao Kuo early, but she is still not satisfied.
once counted the people around the crown prince Zhao Hui in the second palace of Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan.
Zhao Gou had already abdicated at that time, and he didn't want to talk about her, but in the end he couldn't help but say to Empress Wu: "This woman is the seed of Jiangmen, and I was mistaken by Huangfutan." ”
Zhao Yan also reprimanded Li Fengniang many times: "You should take the Empress Dowager (that is, Zhao Gou's empress Wu Shaofen) as an example, otherwise you will be abolished." ”
But this Li Fengniang still goes her own way.
Once, Zhao Hui was washing his hands in the palace, and he happened to notice a pair of white and slippery hands of the palace people waiting for him with a basin, so he naturally praised two sentences.
However, this little matter was known to Li Fengniang.
As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, Li Fengniang sent someone to send a food box to Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui opened it and saw that it was the hands of the palace man that day.
Zhao Wei was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he was sick for several days because of it.
is also so cruel to the palace people that Zhao Hui occasionally encounters, it is not difficult to imagine how Li Fengniang will treat Zhao Hui's concubines.
(Li Fengniang's arrogance and jealousy are not limited to this, if you are interested, you can check it yourself.) )
"Weichen heard that this Li Fengniang is also preparing to run for the crown princess."
Looking at the concubines of the two Song dynasties in history, it is not uncommon for them to be able to influence the government, but a queen like Li Fengniang who conquered three generations of emperors as a woman is unique in the history of the two Song dynasties.
In fact, throughout Li Fengniang's life, she has nothing special except for being unusually beautiful and vicious.
What is unbelievable is that none of the three generations of emperors Li Fengniang met finally became the emperor.
Although this rare strange phenomenon in Chinese history is related to Li Fengniang, it must not be said that it was caused by Li Fengniang as a woman.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Li Fengniang can become such a big scourge is mainly because Zhao Wei is a waste and a fool, the palace is jealous, and the fear of guilt is extremely serious.
Li Cun believes that Li Yunyu must be different from Zhao Hui, a waste and fool raised in the palace, even if Li Fengniang really becomes his crown princess, history will never reappear.
But then again, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if, in case Li Yunyu can't control the scourge of Li Fengniang, and let this good-for-nothing woman mess up the Daqian Dynasty, it will become a big joke.
Therefore, no matter what, Li Cun must not let Li Fengniang enter Li Yunyu's harem.
- Li Cun wants to nip the scourge of Li Fengniang in the bud.
So, Li Cun said: "This girl is good." ”
As a result, before half an hour arrived, someone found Li Dao and said to him: "The Supreme Emperor has taken a fancy to Ling Ai, congratulations to Li Shilang." ”
Li Dao actually didn't want her daughter to become the concubine of Li Cun, who was already in her seventies, but how could Li Dao dare to disobey Li Cun's intentions?
Li Dao immediately asked for leave and went home and told her three daughters about it.
When Li Dao's eldest daughter and third daughter heard this, they all didn't know what to do, the key was that the person looking for Li Dao didn't say which of their sisters Li Cun had a crush on.
Only when Li Fengniang heard it, she immediately exploded, and she said loudly: "I don't want to be a bad old man's concubine!" ”
When Li Dao heard this, he went up and gave Li Fengniang a slap mercilessly.
After the fight, Li Dao looked at one of his favorite daughters looking at him in disbelief, and he also regretted it a little.
But for the good of the Li family, and for the good of Li Fengniang, Li Dao still said strongly: "If you want to die, die yourself, don't affect my Li family!" The Supreme Emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and if he blows, he can make my Li family annihilated, and you dare to be rude to him! ”
At this time, Li Fengniang remembered that the bad old man in her mouth was the greatest man in the world, and she suddenly didn't dare to squeak anymore.
That night, Li Dao personally sent all three of his daughters to the Forbidden City.
Li Cun was not polite, and hugged Li Fengniang's three sisters that night, and made this matter absolutely unsuccessful, without giving any chance to the accident.
As a woman, Li Fengniang, of course, is unwilling to let her life be like this.
Since Fang Baihua's death, Li Cun has never set up his own queen.
Li Fengniang felt that if she could become Li Cun's wife, she would be the supreme queen, no worse than being the queen.
Therefore, Li Fengniang did everything possible to curry favor with Li Cun, hoping that one day she could defeat Li Cun's remaining tens of thousands of concubines and become Li Cun's wife, a celebrity in the annals of history.
Since Li Fengniang wants to play, Li Cun, an idler, will of course accompany Li Fengniang to play.
As a result, Li Fengniang gave birth to three sons and two daughters for Li Cun, and she didn't see the slightest possibility that she could become Li Cun's wife.
Not only that, Li Fengniang also asked Li Cun to train him to be as good as a dog, and she did whatever Li Cun asked her to do, and finally drowned in Li Cun's many concubines.
In other words, Li Cun's physique really doesn't know why it's so strong.
At the age of 90, Li Cundu continued to increase the population of the Daqian royal family.
But—
Since Li Cun passed the age of sixty, Li Cun has begun to converge, no longer recruiting thousands of beauties from all over the world to his palace every year as before, but only accepting a few hundred every year, and this number is also decreasing year by year.
It's not that Li Cun's body at that time was not good, on the contrary, Li Cun's body at that time was still the same as it was back then.
But Li Cun had too many women in the harem at that time, and many women were still first daughters even when they left the palace, and even some women were reading Li Cun's name before they died, hoping that Li Cun could take a look at her.
Therefore, Li Cun changed the rule that a woman must leave the palace at the age of thirty before she was broken by herself, but raised the age to forty years old, trying not to let the first daughter out of the palace, and Li Cun put more energy on those women who have been with him for many years, and try to live up to some women as little as possible.
By the time Li Cun was eighty years old, Li Cun no longer recruited women into the palace.
All these years have passed, and most of Li Cun's women have died of old age.
By the time Li Cun was one hundred years old, there were less than three thousand women still alive in Li Cun's harem.
Of these 3,000 or so women, more than 2,800 are over 40 years old, and only more than 200 are under 40 years old.
At this time, Li Cun's body was still very tough, and he could still eat, drink and have fun.
But at this time, Li Cun had no worries.
- Most of Li Cun's concubines have been boiled to death by Li Cun, including Li Fengniang and other women who were later accepted by Li Cun, none of them have survived Li Cun, and Li Cun's children and grandchildren have their own lives, and most of them are very happy, at the beginning of the fight with Li Cun, including the old brothers who later ruled the world with Li Cun, that is, Zhang Shi, Yue Fei and others, are all dead, and this world has become very strange to Li Cun, and even a little unaccustomed to it.
Therefore, Li Cun has really lived enough.
Suddenly, one day, Li Cunfu felt that his limit was approaching.
On the occasion of his death, Li Cun did not leave any last words for his children and grandchildren, nor did he arrange his descendants.
- He is dying, how can he care about the flood in the future?
Li Cun just asked people to slaughter those people who were still alive in the City of Nations, such as Zhao Gou, such as Wan Yanliang, such as Louis VII, and let them bury themselves and honor the edict they made many years ago.
After that, Li Cun fooled around unscrupulously with his concubines who were not yet forty years old every day, completely ignoring his own body.
Finally one day, Li Cun died on his belly without even seeing who it was, ending his life of not knowing how to evaluate it.
Interestingly, after Li Cun's commotion at the end of his life, more than a dozen lives were created.
It's just that Li Cun can't protect them like those brothers and sisters who protect them.
(End of book)
PS: The new book "Xianxia Version of Water Margin" has been released, and there is a link below.
In a short introduction, there are many mages and spells in the Water Margin, such as calling the wind and rain, driving the clouds and fog, and scattering beans into soldiers, I wrote this new book from this seemingly unreasonable perspective.
Definitely not the same experience, and very reasonable.
Well, I am especially familiar with the era of the Two Song Dynasty, and I am also familiar with the Water Margin, please believe me, I should be able to write another good book for everyone.
The rest, as I said in my testimonial for the end of the next chapter, will not take up the word count of this chapter.
(The above is beyond the content, and it is not for money.) )
