[When we were in school, we all learned a sentence called "Objective laws are not subject to human will."]

What is an objective law?

Counting from Wu Zetian's plan to change the name of the Tang Dynasty, in order to save face:

Vientiane Shrine and Heaven were repaired twice.

The tens of billions of Tianshu bronze pillars have also been built.

The Great Cloud Temple, the Dharma Conference, the Man-made Xiangrui, the Songshan Feng Zen, etc., all cost money.

During the Wu Zhou period, there was no population explosion, and there was no industrial revolution.

The old lady's days are boundless, and the people's days are crying and scolding their mothers, this is the objective reality.

The old lady vainly tried to achieve immortality with these spectacles that could neither climb technology nor violent ships, this is the will of man, and it is needless to say what the result will be.

Just when Wu Zetian was happy to change the year name and increase the amnesty, news came from the north: Khitan is reversed!

The first reaction of the DPRK to this news was disbelief, because among the northern miscellaneous Hu, the Khitan has never been regarded as an ambitious group.

Restricted by the strength of the tribe, the Khitan was beaten in the face by Gao Yang during the Northern Qi Dynasty.

When the Turks of the Sui Dynasty rose, they were caught between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan monarch saw that Erfeng had a lot of thoughts about Jieli Khan, so he simply voted for the Tang Dynasty, accepted the surname Li and was named Khitan Khan.

Since the second year of Zhenguan for sixty-eight years, the Khitan tribe is the only one who looks forward to the Tang Dynasty, how can it be reversed?

The story wasn't too complicated, and it started with a natural disaster.

From 695 to 696, when the old lady changed her name frequently.

First of all, hail fell in the eastern states of Luoyang in February, which made the people worried.

This was followed by a frost in the midsummer of June in the Koto region, which led to a significant reduction in grain production.

When it comes to the Chinese New Year, the people are greeted by a spring famine and a great drought, and how life can be imagined, and the basic thing that can be counted on is the official relief grain, and the Khitan is no exception.

It stands to reason that the officials who can guard the frontier must have a minimum of political literacy, and you are not required to be treated equally by ethnic integration, but at least you must be able to use your strength, right?

However, most of the Dongyi capital of Wu Zhou protected Zhao Wenhui, and since he was ordered by Wu Zetian to take office, he called and drank to the two ethnic minorities and treated each other as slaves.

This famine was no exception, and despite the crying of the hungry people, a death order was still issued, and no warehouses were allowed to open to help the victims.

In this case, after the era name of Banzai Tongtian was activated, the first major event that occurred in this era name was also recorded:

The governor of Songmo, Li Quanzhong, and his brother Sun Wanrong raised an army against Zhou, killed Zhao Wenhui, captured Yingzhou, and besieged Danzhou.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, the old lady made two preparations.

First of all, Yan Zhiwei was the main envoy to the Turks, telling the other party Khan: The proposal of the relatives has been approved, and as long as they fight the Khitan together, they will still be a family.

It's just a slight difference that the Turkic Khan wants to marry Wu Zetian's daughter and marry a family, and no matter how bad he is, he can recognize the old lady as a godmother.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhiwei sent Wu Yanxiu, the son of Wu Chenghei, who was ordered by Wu Zetian to marry the daughter of the Turkic Khan and thought that he was a relative, which made the Turkic Khan furious: If you want to play like this, will the next generation of Turks also have the surname Wu?

So the envoys were either imprisoned, killed, or surrendered, and trapped within the Turks.

If you can't count on foreign aid, you can only go on your own, and it took two years and two battles before Wu Zhou pacified the rebellion in Yingzhou.

For the first time, the children of the samurai family led tens of thousands of people to the battle, but they were defeated and the whole army was wiped out.

The second time, Yang Xuanji and Zhang Jiujie jointly led 200,000 parties to finally quell the war.

If the defeat of Xue Rengui Dafeichuan was the end of the invincibility of the early Tang Dynasty, then the rebellion in Yingzhou was the precursor to the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

After the fall of Goguryeo, most of the people of Goguryeo were scattered and moved into the Tang Dynasty, among which the Ya tribe was placed in Yingzhou.

Taking advantage of the chaos in Yingzhou, Da Zuorong, the leader of the Ying, and the beggar Zhongxiang also led their troops to cross Liaoshui to return to their hometowns again.

Even in this process, the Tatar and Khitan joined forces to defeat the Tang (Wu Zhou) army at Tianmen Ridge, and the Bohai State became independent from then on.

Later, the Bohai State joined forces in Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, and in more than ten years, it had more than 13 major wars with the Tang Dynasty, such as the Battle of Dengzhou, the Battle of Madu Mountain, and the Battle of Bohai.

The border troubles were pressing step by step, and finally Xuanzong adopted the strategy of razing and razing, and An Lushan finally appeared on the stage.

Oh yes, it's worth mentioning Yan Zhiwei.

At that time, in the entire mission, Yan Zhiwei was cowardly and the six gods had no master, Wu Yanxiu knelt on the spot, and only the deputy envoy Pei Huaigu was loyal and unyielding, and would rather die than surrender.

For the Turkic Khan, Wu Yanxiu and Pei Huaigu were not eyed by him at all, and the most important thing was Yan Zhiwei, who was quite famous in the court as the grandson of Yan Lide, and forced him to land and gave him the title of Southern Khan, intending to recruit more descendants.

When the news was transmitted back to the court, Wu Zetian simply and neatly and directly razed the Yan family, and only two people surnamed Yan who had joined the Wu family survived.

When the fighting between the two sides stopped, Yan Zhiwei, who returned to Wuzhou, was sentenced by Wu Zetian to split the car and ordered the hundred officials to shoot his body with arrows.

Later, he ordered to cut off his flesh and crush his bones, and chase down the three clans.

Wu Yanxiu returned to Wu Zhou Jiajia to seal the Duke of Hengguo, until he was beheaded by Li Longji in Suzhangmen during the Tang Long coup. 】

"Snap"

This sound was especially prominent in the silent temple of manna.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Yan Lide busily picking up the hard pen used for painting from the ground.

This former general who always had a calm smile on his face was the overseer, but now his face was only misty.

After all, now he Yan Lide is only thirty-five years old, and he is still waiting for his eldest son to be crowned......

These three words were unprecedentedly heavy, and they also made him a little silent, who had always been optimistic.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and finally comforted Empress Changsun with the encouragement of her eyes:

"Lide ......"

Yan Lide shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say much, the Yan family can't enter the official career."

There is no need for Li Shimin to say anything, Yan Lide himself first pulled out the Tao and said that he would not play with you.

It's no wonder, after all, whether it's painting or that arithmetic, or the study of engineering, it can make a person study all his life.

Since it is so dangerous to accompany the royal family and the descendants may not be able to make it, then it is not to get involved.

It's just that Yan Lide is so simple that Li Shimin couldn't speak for a long time.

Du Ruhui sighed secretly on the side: It is also thanks to the old Yan family, who is either studying architecture or obsessed with Danqing, and it is also thanks to His Majesty that he can not be angry because of this negative words.

However, before Du Ruhui came out, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not made a sound for a long time, stepped forward and debuted:

"General Yan complained about this, and the future generations sighed that it was nothing else, but for the law of Wu Zhou."

The face was calm, but in fact, the hands in the sleeves were already nervously pinched together and sweaty.

Living in the Manna Palace, his eldest grandson Wuji is absolutely unwilling to let the honor and disgrace of the eldest grandson's family be tied to the queen alone.

However, in the case of knowing the way forward, the road to recovery will be in a state of suspense for a long time.

In fact, I also know from the induction of later generations that this Zhenguan once had no more than him, and no less than him, and if he wanted to realize his long-cherished wish, it could only show his unique use.

What is his eldest grandson Wuji good at? Both civil and military are involved, and the code is also passed, and many days of thinking are all for today's fight.

"Looking at future generations, we can see that there is no king and no prince. Those who have no honor cannot be benevolent. ”

"Why bind the people? Thinking about it, there are only four words that later generations said casually when commenting on Zhuge Wuhou: governing the country according to law. ”

Li Shimin listened attentively, and at the same time, Ma Yan, who was executed in accordance with the law, also jumped out of his heart, and then thought of Yan Zhiwei's heavy sentence, Wu Yanxiu's anti-commendation, and it was indeed ironic to compare them together.

Thinking of the attitude towards Confucianism in later generations, as well as the inclusive attitude revealed in his words, Li Shimin has faintly guessed the idea of the eldest grandson Wuji.

There were no fools among the people present, and almost instantly, many people turned their eyes over: so hard?

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was in the middle of the storm, did not squint and made a generous statement:

"Han Zi said that the strength of the country depends on the strength of those who follow the law, and the strength of the ministers who think that the law is not expensive because of whether the law is not expensive."

"Wei Yingzhi Qin has a saying, the law does not work, and he commits it from above, so he punishes the two sons and grandsons, and the Qin people are all ordered."

"At this time, my Tang can still be called the first establishment, although there is a "Martial Virtue Law", but it is just the law of the quasi-emperor."

"Emperor Yang has died in accordance with this law, and if you want to create immortal achievements, you should also have laws that run through the past and the present to govern the people."

"Please cultivate the law of chastity, to bind the concept of chastity, promote its prestige, show its clarity, and praise its virtue."

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he bowed calmly, raised his hands above his head, and waited for the ruling of the Tang Emperor.

As for the gaze of Wei Zheng and the others behind him, although he couldn't see it, he could imagine it, and most of them were not very happy.

After all, in the final analysis, Confucianism and worship of etiquette rather than respect for the law are fundamental issues.

But for the eldest grandson Wuji, borrowing the slogan of governing the country according to law in later generations, raising the banner of legalism, and finally obtaining the right to compile the law, and recovering from it, this is already the safest path he can think of.

Continuing to stand still can certainly preserve his glory and wealth, but he doesn't want future generations to talk about him as only a relative of the name of the prince.

The period of arching his hand over his head to ask for his life made the eldest grandson Wuji feel like a year again, but fortunately, he finally heard the voice from afar after I don't know how long:

"Quasi".

The quiet air became noisy, and the Manna Temple, which was slightly cold when it came, also felt extremely hot at this time, and the back wet with sweat also looked particularly uncomfortable.

To say that the only dissatisfaction at this time is probably that Hou Junji is not here, otherwise he will let this ramming goods fall for his knowledge and means.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed lightly with a little excitement.

Li Shimin really didn't think about it so much, he also knew Han Fei's words, and he knew Han Fei's other two sentences:

The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared.

He has ambitions, but what about his children and grandchildren?

Putting aside such troubles for the time being, Li Shimin looked back and sighed boringly:

"This camp state rebellion...... Compared with the inner court, this emperor is planning and planning, and the handling of border troubles seems to be not alone. ”

In fact, in his opinion, the difference between his son and daughter-in-law does not seem to be very big, they both grew up in the deep palace, and they don't understand Zhuhu at all and give orders from afar.

Fear of power but not virtue is the nature of Zhuhu.

The four million catties of red gold cast in Kyoto are no match for half a catty of inferior iron on the necks of the Hu people.

Let them fear the power of China, so that they can be ordered to learn the virtues of China.

Otherwise, it will be like the Song Song's "there is no danger in Germany", which is just a dream that makes people laugh.

In contrast, later generations simply and straightforwardly reminded the frontier officials of the seriousness of being unreliable.

The responsibility of protecting the capital not only needs not to fall into the authority of the central government, but also needs to be able to soothe the people of Yidi, and it needs people who attach equal importance to prestige and virtue.

In addition, the Khitan who has been co-opted can rest assured for the time being, only the troubles of the Turks need to be completely settled, and Li Shimin will keep these in mind one after another.

Du Ruhui wrote down two words of interest:

What is the population explosion?

What was the Industrial Revolution?

Tonight first, I came back late after hanging the needle today, and my current state is much better.

Updated as normal tomorrow.
