At this time, there was a snoring sound in her stomach again, Zhang Yanxi pouted, okay, it's time for her to eat something, and she ordered takeout on the Internet,

After finishing the meal, it was eight o'clock in the evening, she was tired enough today, she dozed off, the information has not been sorted out, no, she can't sleep, "Zhang Yanxi, tens of millions a day, you sleep with wool!" I got up and washed my face with cold water and made a cup of coffee before I refreshed myself and continued to sort out tomorrow's information.

A good start to the day,

The light curtain is opened, and the live broadcast continues.

"This time, I will talk about the emperor who was polarized during his reign - Tang Xuanzong Li Longji."

"Li Longji is beautiful, smart, versatile, likes calligraphy, bosom friends, good at riding and shooting, good at learning the stars and stars, and is favored by his grandmother Wu Zetian."

In the early period of his reign, Li Longji wanted to restore the career of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, so he worked hard to make the Kaiyuan period reach the peak of the Tang Dynasty. It has caused the "prosperous era of Kaiyuan". showed his outstanding political talent, but it caused the "Anshi Rebellion" in the last years of Tianbao, which made the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline. Li Longji was a bright monarch in the early part of his reign, but he was a faint monarch in the later period. ”

At the beginning of Li Longji's accession to the throne, he slept with his brothers, and after retiring from the dynasty, he drank and feasted with them, fought cocks, batted ball, and gambled together, or talked about poetry, or hunted in the suburbs. The kings were sick, he did not eat all day, he was busy cooking medicine, and his brotherhood was beyond the reach of the emperors of the past. ”

appointing meritocracy,

In order to seek peace and tranquility in the country as soon as possible, Li Longji relied very much on talented people and selected and appointed talents, and his efforts to govern the country were particularly manifested in employing people and accepting advice. The prime ministers he used, Yao Chong, Song Jing and others, were all loyal and virtuous, each with their own strengths, and they were able to speak out and admonish, remedy political deficiencies, and handle the government in an orderly manner, especially the contributions of Yao and Song were more prominent. ”

"Li Longji recalled Yao Chong back to the capital and wanted to make him prime minister, and Yao put forward ten conditions, asking Li Longji to agree to implement benevolent government, dismiss the army and stop the military, not allow the emperor's relatives and eunuchs to interfere in political affairs, and allow the ministers to admonish him, etc., and Li Longji agreed to them one by one."

After Yao Chong became the prime minister, with the support of Li Longji, he suppressed the powerful and powerful, reduced the number of monasteries, laid off monks and nuns, overcame natural disasters, and helped Li Longji rectify the government. Strict punishment reversed the chaotic situation in the Zhongzong period, and was known as the "prime minister of saving time". ”

Therefore, not only was the people of the time highly praised, but the history books also contained: "Tang Shixianxiang, formerly known as Fang and Du, and later known as Yao and Song, others are incomparable." Historians also praised the prime minister appointed by Li Longji in the Kaiyuan Dynasty and said: "Yao Chongshangtong, Song Jing Shangfa, Zhang Jiazhen Shangguan, Zhang Shuo Shangwen, Li Yuanhong, Du Xian Shangjian, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling Shangzhi, each with their own strengths, many political achievements, became a good story in the Tang Dynasty." "It is precisely because Li Longji reused these talents and made great efforts to seek governance that the economy prospered and the national prestige was raised in the Kaiyuan period, which became the golden age of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Di: Not to mention anything else, the appointment of talents is much better than those in the Great Song Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang: This is the foundation of governing the country, not bad!

Zhao Kuangyin: ......

In order to streamline the organization and eliminate redundant personnel, Li Longji issued an edict to dismiss foreign officials, trial officials, and school inspectors. It also stipulates that from now on, these three officials shall not be awarded unless they have military merits or other merits. He decided to send talented people among the officials in Beijing to serve as governors and assassins in other places, and at the same time, he also selected outstanding people in the governors and assassins in various places to serve in Beijing for important posts. In addition, the selection and transfer of officials inside and outside Beijing will be established as a system. He categorically replaced incompetent officials. In 716 A.D., he personally went to the temple to re-examine the county orders selected by the officials to various places, and sent home more than 40 of them who were incompetent. As a result of his adoption of the measure of streamlining the bureaucracy, he greatly improved the efficiency of work and saved the state's financial expenditure. ”

"Li Jianji will be planted in accordance with the law for those who are greedy for the law, no matter how high their position is. stabbed Pei Jingxian and illegally gathered five arrests. Li Longji was sentenced to death today. Former crown prince Xiao Song. Due to the bribery of Zhongguan Niu Xiantong. It was demoted to the history of Qingzhou Thorn. The queen's brother-in-law, Shang Yi, was sent to the imperial chief Sun Xin and beat the imperial historian Li Jie, Li Jianji was furious, and ordered him to be killed with a rod in the court, to thank the hundred officials, and comforted Li Jie with a book, saying: "Sun Xin and others are my close relatives, and they cannot be disciplined. ”

Li Longji issued an edict prohibiting the construction of temples and returning lay monks and nuns. In the second year of Kaiyuan, more than 12,000 people were repaid. The number of soldiers was reduced, and in 722 A.D. 200,000 soldiers were returned to the peasants. It also scattered palace maids, strictly prohibited extravagance, improved transportation, and developed production. ”

"Due to good governance, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty reached a peak unprecedented since the founding of the country during the Kaiyuan period. According to the history books, in the last years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the price of rice in Xijing and Dongdu was less than 200 yuan per stone, the price of cloth and silk was low, the sea was rich and safe, and pedestrians walked thousands of miles away, and they did not need to bring weapons. Crime decreased, and in 730 A.D., there were only 24 people in the world who committed capital crimes. The population increased, and in 737 AD, the population of the country reached more than 48.14 million. ”

Cao Cao: Good guy, more than 40 million people!

Li Shimin: Haha! Ok, good, good!

Qin Shi Huang also had to admire this person when he saw this population, Great Qin now has a population of almost 10 million, which is worthy of being a prosperous age!

Fusu: Such a Ming Jun, why was he able to defeat such a prosperous era later.

Yao Chong and Song Jing were all shocked, our majesty is so hard-working, is he really so stupid in the later period?

"Tang Xuanzong, this person is really mysterious and mysterious, if he lives twenty years less, he can also be called a Ming Jun, it's a pity!"

After Zhang Yanxi finished speaking, he thought in his heart: "When I finish speaking, when I give out the reward, I have to reduce my life expectancy by twenty years and send it to him. ”

Li Longji's plane, he suddenly shuddered, how could he have a cold feeling, but then he defeated the Tang Dynasty, and it affected for thousands of years? This is what he did?

"Before talking about this "Anshi Rebellion", I will first talk about the chaos that occurred during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ”
