Chapter 36: Wu Zetian: There will be my name in the future generations
She wanted to ascend the throne as emperor, not on a whim, not just for the sake of this name, but she firmly believed that women could also ascend the throne as emperors, and their ability to govern would not lag behind men.
She worked hard for many years to prove it.
Now, she has also temporarily suppressed the opposition in the court, and it is time for her to show her skills. In the past, she worked hard for this, but only she knew that when she got to this position, she was a little confused, and she didn't know where to start, and what kind of results she would get if she really did it.
It can be said that every step is like walking on thin ice, not only the ministers of the DPRK and China are staring, but also the Li clan is staring at it, as long as she takes a wrong step, it is a sharp arrow for others to attack, and then the DPRK and China will inevitably be bloody again.
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian frowned, but now, from the barrage and Ji Xi's words, she can see that in the fifteen years that she has been in power, her evaluation is still relatively good.
The big stone in his heart fell, and Wu Zetian looked at the things mentioned in the barrage, and had already prepared a decree in his heart.
After a short time, she summoned her close ministers into the palace.
Ji Xi continued.
"Although she had many difficulties before she ascended the throne as emperor, after she ascended the throne, she still showed excellent political skills while suppressing the opposition."
Under the auspices of Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er and others began to formulate corresponding policies according to Ji Xi's content, they all knew that this was an unavoidable prophecy, and Ji Xi might not be able to speak clearly, but those of them who knew the basic situation of the Tang Dynasty could formulate corresponding policies according to Ji Xi's and make plans in advance.
Even, according to these, Wu Zetian's career can be taken to the next level.
Everyone was immediately ready for it, and they had never been so serious.
Ji Xi continued, "Wu Zetian attacked the big clans, cultivated the Shu family, and selected truly talented people to enter the court as officials, that is, to add palace examinations, repair genealogies, etc., among them, countless talents were selected, including Di Renjie, Yao Chong and others who we are familiar with. ”
The ministers wrote down these people, and it was only imminent to attack the Shu people, and the Tang Dynasty had been shackled by these old families for a long time, and it was just right to take advantage of the situation to uproot them at one time.
"She is determined in all directions and has wide diplomacy. Western Tibet, Northern Turks, and Northeast Yingzhou rebelled, broken one by one, the Silk Road was unblocked, and the eight directions came to the court. ”
Everyone looked stunned, Tubo and the Turks have been attacking for a long time, and they have been troubled by Tubo since the time of Tang Taizong, but they didn't expect that she could solve it, and the ministers couldn't help but praise, "Your Majesty is wise." Then, they began to rack their brains to think about the process, and with the result, the process still depends on them.
"Light and thin, develop culture. During Wu Zetian's reign, the population doubled, and various industries developed greatly, which laid the foundation for the later Kaiyuan Dynasty. She also sent people to compile dictionaries. ”
Led by the above officials, everyone soon began to work on the policy of reducing taxes.
……
Within the Shendu, preparations for new policies began in full swing, and it was not only visible in the palace, but also throughout the country.
The eldest grandson's family has been entrenched in the capital for more than 100 years, and once it was destroyed, it can not be said that there is no resentment in the heart, and there is still a trace of hope in the heart, after all, Si Chen will not last long, and God will definitely give them the opportunity to make a comeback.
In the bumpy road, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally high, had already lost his former demeanor, and now he was dusty, his face was haggard, and his eyes were dark.
He looked back at the Shendu, the wind and smoke were everywhere, and the flowers were decaying.
In the light curtain surrounded by streamers, Ji Xi's every praise for Wu Zetian was like a stab in his heart, the knife urged people's lives, and blood gushed out, flowing down the corners of his lips.
The eldest grandson Wuji was discouraged, as a politician, he didn't know that Wu Zetian would use this light curtain to stabilize his rule, and when the time came, everyone in the whole country would shout that she was destined to return.
The hearts of all people are wanted, and this is something that cannot be saved by conspiracy and calculation.
He clearly knew that there was no possibility for him to come back, and the century-old foundation of the eldest grandson family was finally destroyed in the palm of his hand, and there was no room for turning around.
The eldest grandson Wuji closed his old and cloudy eyes, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and a tear hung down from the corner of his eye.
The tear slipped down into the dirt outside the city gates, wetting a piece of land, and soon evaporated without a trace.
The eldest grandson Wuji boarded the carriage and ran towards the outside of the city, and soon, the flying dust fell to the ground, and even this trace was gone.
As he expected, under the intentional guidance of the people sent by Wu Zetian, the people all believed that Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne was the destiny of heaven, and he was the empress recognized by later generations.
Next is the vigorous suppression, the big family, the Li clan, but everything that will threaten Wu Zetian's rule, will soon be hit by all kinds of reasons, killed, arrested.
In the old days, Wang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
The decline of the aristocratic family, the rise of the Shu family, and many people in the imperial court who have real talents and real talents in the imperial examinations, these people who come step by step are originally opposed to the big families, and their talents are far more real than those who are sheltered by the big families.
The situation in the court is changing, and the two sides are fighting endlessly.
Wu Zetian did not kill all the clans, the two sides fought endlessly, and the scolding of "Si Chen" was much less.
With Ji Xi's "prophecy", Wu Zetian's reign was unprecedentedly smooth, and in just a few years, she became the god emperor in the hearts of the people.
The border was stable, tax reductions and exemptions, economic development, and the people were rich, Wu Zetian was tough and implemented policies quickly, and the territory reached unprecedented stability and peace.
There were Di Renjie and other people who judged the case first, which attracted officials to follow suit, and for a time, countless clean officials were also trained.
Wu Zetian has to go to the top on top of what Ji Xi said, take a lot of detours, and have more time and energy to make the world peaceful.
Just when Wu Zetian was relieved to see the people in the territory happy, Ji Xi's words were like a bucket of ice water splashed down, making her instantly fall into an ice cave.
Ji Xi said, "Although Wu Zetian worked hard at the beginning and reflected super high political talent, but in her later years, she gradually became powerless, not only let Wu Sansi and others take advantage of the loophole, Wu Zhou also disappeared like fireworks, and soon, Datang returned to the hands of the Li family." ”
"And the various rumors of her later years are also a point that is now criticized."
