In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

The good news is that this year is exactly the fifth year of Zhenguan, and knowing in advance that there will be no disasters this year and next year can make him and his ministers breathe a sigh of relief in advance.

The bad news is that there have been more than 20 consecutive years of disasters since the seventh year of Zhenguan.

The two moods collided in Li Shimin's heart, and in the end, he was more worried about the future disaster year, which made him sigh unconsciously.

Fortunately, it is the first year of the fifth year of Zhenguan, and there are still two years of peace before the twenty-six years of disasters.

Du Ruhui knew in advance that there was no disaster this year, so he was really relieved, after all, on the one hand, he needed to support Li Jing and Tuyuhun on the front line to fight, and if there was another natural disaster in the rear, then most of the people would be busy this year.

This news at least represents that this year there is no need to worry about the whole work of God, so Du Ruhui smiled and relieved when he saw His Majesty's expression:

"Everyone, at least we have two years to protect forests and consolidate the soil this year and next, so that many natural disasters can be eliminated in advance."

Du Ruhui's statement made Li Shimin shake his head slowly:

"Evil does not come from heaven and earth, but man himself brews it."

To be honest, what the later generations said was not a great reason.

The tall trees are shady, and the trees are not in the forest, and everyone understands them.

The embankment of thousands of feet, with the nest of ants, is known to all children in Huangkou.

During heavy rains, the mountains and forests are difficult to disperse, and the flat fields are easy to be waterlogged, which everyone has seen.

But in the end, it really fell on the mountains and forests, and no one could detect it.

Cutting down forests and cultivating fields, relieving a day's worries, destroying a century-old industry, creating a thousand-year-old disaster, leaving a legacy to future generations, and harming future generations.

Keeping this matter in mind, and then looking at Fang Du's written record, the fishy smell of locusts seemed to be faintly diffused in his mouth again, which made Li Shimin hurriedly shake his head, and immediately saw what he was more interested in:

"This Beijing should be the Beijing of the Ming Dynasty...... And where? ”

During the Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang had the title of the Eastern Capital, so after listening to the affairs of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also took it for granted the title of Luoyang, the Eastern Capital.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang'an also had the title of the Western Capital, so Li Shimin, the name of Xi'an, could also accept it.

In addition, from the rambling of the later generations of the Three Kingdoms, it is also known that Jinling later became Nanjing, considering that it controls the water of the river and connects the southeast, which is also reasonable.

But there is still a place in the north that can be used as a capital and be used by this republic in later generations?

Li Shimin expressed his amazement at the former, but was slightly unconvinced and curious about the latter from the perspective of Chang'an people.

What are the advantages of this Beijing capital city that will be favored by future generations?

And Chengdu is magnificent, Xi'an is magnificent, so what kind of grand scene should this Beijing city be?

Naturally, no one could answer this question, and finally standing in the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin also sighed sincerely:

"It's a pity that I can't see it in person for future generations!"

……

As for what happened to the Tang Dynasty, the reaction of the people of Han Chang'an was very straightforward.

"What a vicious God!" Ma Chao exclaimed.

"What an impressive Zhenguan monarch!" Kong Ming sighed sincerely.

Then Ma Chao was unexpectedly flicked by Zhang Fei's fingers, and hurriedly covered his mouth and squatted down and looked up, for fear that the light curtain would flicker twice when he heard this, and the light curtain would be extinguished, and the sin would be great.

Liu Bei, who had given up treatment, also understood Kong Ming's thoughts.

After all, looking at it this way, the early Tang Dynasty could still govern both internally and externally despite natural disasters without any chaos, and the monarchs and ministers could be called capable.

"This Tang Dynasty is really lively."

After playing Ma Chao with his fingers, Zhang Fei was full of interest:

"There is a non-stop opening on the outside, and a catastrophe on the inside."

"There was the rebellion of the prince before, and the empress entered the palace later."

Liu Bei couldn't help but learn from Zhang Fei, and bent his fingers on his headcase that shook his head:

"Full of poems, do you want to take the doctorate exam?"

The hall immediately laughed together, Pang Tong and Zhang Fei had worked together for the longest time, and immediately followed Kong Ming to sigh and share the firepower for him:

"I don't know whether to say that the climate in the early Tang Dynasty is too good, or whether to praise the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers for being too impressive."

The others nodded together, and Jian Yong also sighed:

"However, it can care about the people and swallow locusts in anger, which is really the first in ancient times."

In fact, the light curtain did not say much about the emperor himself, who had been praised as the first emperor of the ages.

Leveling the world is a passing pass, and governing the world also talks more about the achievements of generals and capable ministers.

But in fact, thinking about being able to dominate so many talents speaks even more about their abilities.

And this act of swallowing locusts because of the concern for people's livelihood is also unprecedented.

Zhang Fei on the side felt that what Jian Yong said was very reasonable, and at the same time, his eyes were full of thoughtfulness:

If you care about people's livelihood, my brother must not lose!

[If you push back the time point along the early Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion also has a relatively obvious shadow of climate change.

From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the entire northern nomadic people were driven by the climate very obviously.

Looking back at the temperature change map of ancient China, the first obvious climate change time in the Sui and Tang dynasties was during the reign of the emperor.

During this period, a major event occurred in the northern Turks: Turkic civil strife.

With Jinshan as the boundary, the Turks were divided into two Turks, the East and the West.

Looking back on history, the civil strife of the nomads has actually been common, but after the civil strife, they still retain strong strength and do not go south, which is relatively rare, which can also be seen that the climate in the north at that time did not make the nomads feel the pressure of survival, and thus there was no motivation to move south.

The DTZ that split out during this period was quite powerful, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the separatist forces in the north more or less dealt with the Turks, or sought their refuge or support, such as Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Li Yuan, and so on.

However, with the end of the civil strife in the Central Plains, the Emperor of the Central Plains finally began to face up to the threat of DTZ.

At that time, the climate in the north was pleasant, and for the Hu people, it was nothing more than a change of boss, and life was still the same, so the north as a whole was stable in the early Tang Dynasty.

The Anshi Rebellion was a tipping point in the Tang Dynasty's climate change, with temperatures rising slightly and then falling sharply from around 740 to around 820.

Reflected in history, the drop in temperature caused the northern border troubles to gradually rise, the Turks and the Later Turks rebelled successively, and the Hui and the Tang Dynasty joined forces to destroy the Turks, and then the Hui became the de facto first brother of the northern nomads.

However, the subsequent rise in temperature enabled the Hui to maintain stability in the north again, maintain a relatively stable relationship with the Tang Dynasty without the pressure of survival, and establish the Hui Khanate.

The period of slight recovery was also a period of return to the light in Tibet, taking advantage of the Anshi Rebellion to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and finally formed a behemoth that towered on the plateau and spanned the western regions of Hexi, Yunnan and Shu.

There are also scholars who believe that the slight rise in temperature is also one of the reasons why the Anshi Rebellion did not end in a short time.

At the beginning of the ninth century, with the official end of the warm period of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Hui Khanate and the Tibetan Kingdom also ushered in the end.

Twenty years later, the Uighur Khanate was defeated by its subordinate tribes, and most of the Uighur nobles moved south to integrate into the Han land, and the Uighur Khanate was destroyed in 840.

Tubo was not spared, the rapid change of climate made the rebellion in Tubo everywhere, Zhang Yichao launched an uprising to return to the Tang Dynasty, so that Hexi Longyou were out of the control of Tubo, and at the same time, the weakening of the national strength made the upper class continue to fight in the civil war, triggering a large-scale slave uprising in the territory, about 877, the Tubo Dynasty collapsed.

After the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, it was not completely played, and even continued to stand up for more than a hundred years, largely because of the temperature in the middle and late periods.

The following year after the collapse of the Tibetan Dynasty, the Huangchao Rebellion broke out in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was almost in name only.

Therefore, the statement that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty lived and died together is not wrong.

In the end, it was Zhu Wen who officially stamped the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

In 907, Emperor Chan of the Tang Dynasty was located in Zhu Wen, and then he was killed by Zhu Wen, and the Tang Dynasty officially ended. 】
