Chapter 59: This Cauldron Is Really Big!
The next video review is about to begin.
Some of the faint monarchs who were named were reluctant to enter the communication space of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, so they left the capital under the pretext of patrolling and ran to remote places to try to escape.
But unfortunately, when the countdown is over, no matter where they are, they will be the first to be called into the system space!
"Whew!"
Twenty pillars of light gradually fell, and another gathering began!
"I don't know who will be counted today"
"Ruled by these faint kings, our people are really suffering!"
"Shhhh Do you dare to say such a thing? Are you dying? ”
“.”
Compared with the people born in the era of the faint monarch, those who were born in the era of the ten Ming monarchs all sighed about their luck.
Originally, compared with the people of other Ming Jun eras, his own era didn't seem to have too many advantages, and even seemed to be slightly at a disadvantage.
But with the live broadcast of the first issue of the "Top Ten Faint Emperors" list, these people suddenly found that they seemed to be too lucky.
"Alas, compared with those people, some of us are born in the blessings and do not know the blessings."
"Yes, we have fields, we have clothes, and we can even eat meat occasionally. But what about them, even living is a luxury! ”
"I hope that Immortal Su can exert his great mana to save them!"
"Thinking too much, didn't you realize that Immortal Su has always only helped our emperor and improved the country through him!"
"So Immortal Su can't directly intervene in the mortal world?"
"It's hard! It turns out that it is difficult for immortals."
In the eyes of countless people who are either panicked or expectant, a new live broadcast is about to start!
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Faint Emperors in History! ] (Phase 2)】
[Maker: Su Qian]
[The Anshi Rebellion, a major historical turning point in the Tang Empire from prosperity to decline. 】
At the beginning of this video, the names of people were not directly named, but first focused on the turning point of the fate of the Tang Empire and even the entire Chinese civilization - the Anshi Rebellion!
"Datang?!" Li Shimin's face changed suddenly, and he immediately thought of the junior who looked more like a Ming Jun than a faint Jun, Li Longji.
[In fact, after Tang Xuanzong Li Longji grasped the supreme power of the Tang Empire, the young emperor also worked hard, Yao Chong, Song Jing and others took over, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji established the Tang Empire nearly a hundred years after the founding of the country, the heyday of the history, known as the "Kaiyuan Dynasty". 】
[Because Li Longji's year name is Kaiyuan, it is called the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.
During the nearly 30 years of Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong, the social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the population increased substantially, making it one of the most pinnacle dynasties in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even China. 】
"Whoop!!
"The person who created the most pinnacle dynasty in Chinese history turned out to be a faint monarch ???"
"This is unbelievable!"
"Impossible! How chic we are now! ”
Li Longji: "I know that I will definitely surpass the emperor and create the most prosperous era!" It's just that why did I become a faint king? ”
Li Shimin seemed to have caught something, and he pondered: "Could it be that this guy did something extremely stupid in his old age?" Otherwise, with his achievements in creating a prosperous world for 30 years, not to mention that he can't be on the merit list, at least he shouldn't be on the faint monarch list! ”
The other emperors obviously thought of this as well, so they all quickly calmed down and waited for the next inventory of the video.
[Such a prosperous era made the aging Tang Xuanzong begin to be complacent.
He was intoxicated by "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers" and was obsessed with the two-person world with Yang Guifei.
In the front, Li Linfu was in power, and Yang Guozhong was in power, and An Lushan, who was born in the border Hu, was also secretly accumulating strength little by little. 】
Li Linfu, who was named, changed his face wildly, but Yang Guozhong and An Lushan still didn't know about it.
It's only been ten years since Kaiyuan, and Li Linfu hasn't been appreciated and recommended yet, but he just relied on the identity of the clan to mix up a prince Zhongyun.
And Yang Guozhong, he is still in the army in Xichuan.
As for An Lushan, the tribe he is in now is at war and is about to be wiped out.
After that, he should have fled for his life with an older man in the tribe named An Sishun, and finally ran to the border area of the Tang Dynasty. In order to survive, he and An Sishun became brothers, called An Sishun eldest brother, and he has been surnamed An since then (An Lushan's original name was Kang Zhuan Mountain).
But An Lushan, who was doing murder and goods while working as a translator, didn't know that in Chang'an City, far away in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, his name suddenly appeared, and he also represented the kind of heinous crime!
[The chaos of the powerful ministers is one of the main reasons for the demise of many dynasties.
In his later years, Li Longji became more and more mediocre, and he couldn't see the outspoken advice of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, so he dismissed Zhang Jiuling as prime minister and replaced him with Li Linfu. 】
[Although Li Linfu does not have much culture, he is good at speculating on people's hearts and can cater to the emperor well. But more importantly, he does have the ability to solve practical problems, so Li Linfu is increasingly favored by Li Longji. 】
[Later, Yang Guozhong's sister Yang Yuhuan was registered as a concubine, and she and her three sisters became increasingly favored.
The Yang sisters often spoke for Yang Guozhong in front of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and introduced Yang Guozhong to Li Longji.
Yang Guozhong carefully served Li Longji while stammering with Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty, so Yang Guozhong's status increased day by day. 】
[However, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong are not the same kind of people, and there are essential differences between them. 】
[Although Li Linfu is authoritarian and is also using various means to fight hostile forces, he is also carefully handling the affairs of the imperial court.
On the other hand, Yang Guozhong is a real person with extremely low quality. He handled the affairs of the court extremely badly, and it can even be said that he had no intention of handling government affairs at all, and he did not achieve anything for the country or the people except for fighting hostile forces.
Yang Guozhong himself actually took a veritable road of chaotic government. 】
[Whether it is Li Linfu or Yang Guozhong, they are one of the culprits of the Tang Dynasty's transformation from extreme prosperity to extreme defeat, and later An Lushan triggered the change of Anshi. 】
[The Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for eight years, was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and it was also the transformation of the Tang Dynasty from an open empire to an introverted country.
Since then, the atmosphere of openness and inclusiveness in the Tang Dynasty has ceased to be open, not only the territory has become increasingly tight, but even the spirit of openness in China has begun to decline day by day. 】
[The troubled times lasted until the beginning of the Song Dynasty, and since then Chinese culture has become increasingly conservative and closed.
The Song Dynasty formed science, which was more restrictive to people's thinking, and the Ming and Qing dynasties practiced self-seclusion and self-control, and boiled themselves from the world boss to a backward and beaten person.
It can be seen that the Anshi Rebellion had a profound impact on Chinese history! 】
"! That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded.
Li Longji was even more shocked that he could stuff an egg in his mouth, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "Do you have to carry the pot of the future generations?" Wouldn't that be too much?! ”
However, it is undeniable that
It is precisely because after the Anshi Rebellion that Chinese culture has become a conservative characteristic, and conservative Cheng Xuanli has begun to dominate.
The Song Dynasty began to suppress the martial arts, the Ming Dynasty began to ban the sea, and by the time of the Qing Dynasty, it was even more self-contained, so that the entire Chinese civilization fell into a quagmire of stagnation.
