Chapter 139: The Rule of Yonghui
"In the third place, I will talk about Li Zhi first, this is the performance of the four princes during the period, but I will briefly say a few words about Li Zhi's achievements after he ascended the throne."
"After Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty under his management not only prospered and flourished, but also accomplished feats that Li Shimin could not do by subjugating Goguryeo."
He not only dismissed excessive labor, returned the land occupied by the common people, and realized the "rule of Yonghui", but also destroyed the Western Turks, Baekje, and Goguryeo. ”
"During the reign of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty had the largest territory. Under the leadership of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty was succeeded by the rule of Zhenguan, the era of Wu Zetian and the era of Li Longji. During the decades of Li Zhi's reign, the Tang Dynasty's national strength not only further developed, but also suffered few defeats in foreign wars, and made great progress in many aspects such as politics, economy, and culture. ”
"Judging from this feat, Li Zhi is still very powerful, if you want to say that the only drawback, I am afraid that it is to let Wu Zetian take power smoothly, which laid the groundwork for the slaughter of the Li Tang royal family later, but, as an emperor, Li Zhi has actually done a good job."
But to tell the truth, Li Zhi gave Wu Zetian the right to give the total score to the temple people, and he has always been able to suppress Wu Zetian and control the court situation, and he is by no means a weak "soft rice man". ”
"The only thing he did wrong was to underestimate Wu Zetian's political ambitions, of course he couldn't believe that Wu Zetian would abolish his son and rob his son of his rights, Li Zhi can't be blamed for this operation, there was no such operation in history before, how could he be careful?"
"His rights and wrongs should indeed be evaluated with future generations, and in the evaluation, letting Wu Zetian be the emperor is indeed one of his major shortcomings."
Yu Qian: Although Li Zhi is generous, benevolent, talented, and a gentleman of success, he has no enterprising heart and is too indecisive.
Liu Bowen: This is also stronger than many emperors!
Zhao Kuangyin: Although it is said that the "rule of Yonghui" was created, it is only a continuation of the political and economic system formulated by Li Shimin, and this credit is not counted in this way.
Zhu Di: What do you mean you never thought that Wu Zetian would seize power? Did he really not expect it? Isn't he indecisive? There is indeed one thing that is not there, the only time that the cadres are arbitrary is in the matter of Liwu Zetian, and in addition, they are quite indecisive!
Kangxi: Emperor Yongle is right! What I didn't expect, it sounded good, but it didn't confuse women. I have noticed it, and I have the heart of the abolished queen, just because it was known by Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian cried and asked Li Zhi to retract this heart, and even Shangguan Yi, who made the edict for him, was also punished by the clan, is there any washing?
Zhu Yuanzhang: An emperor is too benevolent, indecisive and indecisive, which is a taboo for a monarch.
Sima Guang: It is indeed a taboo to let a woman ascend the throne, and it is not a good thing.
Fan Zhongyan: Speaking of ideas, Li Zhi's achievements, how to say, are completely influenced by Tang Taizong, fighting foreign races, this is what every emperor has to do, and the expansion of the territory is also the traces left by Li Shimin, but the expansion is based on the territory of Li Shimin's period, I think this is what the emperor should do, but there are too few meritorious emperors in the dynasty, so everyone thinks that this emperor has done a very good job, and I think Miss Zhang's later generations should also be because of this.
Qin Shi Huang: This one makes a lot of sense, an emperor, fight foreign races, and recover the earth, isn't this what should be done? In this regard, it should indeed be called Mingjun, but what Miss Zhang said, I think this should be a great feat, and because of this, it can be seen that there are so many dynasties, and there are very few good emperors.
Liu Bang: As of today, there are several good emperors and a few garbage emperors, which is an obvious problem, and there are very few Ming monarchs.
"Yes, with a history of 5,000 years, there are many dynasties, and there are very few Ming emperors, so in your opinion, it is just a matter that should be done, in our opinion, Li Zhi's exploits have been done well in our later generations, and they have done very well!"
"This ancient and modern people have two understandings and two views, because we know the history of 5,000 years and know what all dynasties have done."
Empress Xu: This feat is not bad, I can understand it, but I can't understand these emperors and ministers who have made achievements, and it's very simple for them.
Cao Cao: Why can't you understand? We're all history, aren't we going to leave it to future generations to evaluate? What is good is good, and what is not good is not good, this is "I don't want you to think it is right alone, but everyone in the future will think it is right or not, whether it is good or not." "What's the evaluation of this, hurry up and talk about it directly, let's talk about the prince directly, the emperor can't be counted among the four princes for comparison.
"Okay, digress the topic, I'll move on!"
"Li Zhi can be the heir, and the promotion of the eldest grandson Wuji is indispensable."
"After the fall of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, in fact, Li Shimin wanted to make Li Ke the crown prince, Li Shimin had this idea, and he had already removed the idea that the previous dynasty could not be established, but he couldn't stand the unwillingness of the eldest grandson and all the ministers of the dragon, especially the eldest grandson, who could be as black as he could, and often said bad things about Li Ke in Li Shimin's ear, that is, he couldn't let Li Ke succeed to the throne."
"Li Ke can't do it, so who will he set up? Of course, it's Li Zhi, because Li Zhi is the grandson of the eldest grandson Wuji. ”
Liu Che: Li Er can't do it, why is it so easy to speak, is the eldest grandson the emperor or are you the emperor? What about majesty?
Wu Zetian: The power of the Guanlong Group is still not to be underestimated! At this time, Li Shimin was not in power at all.
Sima Guang: If Li Shimin chooses Li Ke, then the Guanlong Group headed by the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely embarrass Li Ke in the future, and even come to Xuanwumen again.
"Yes, Li Shimin's final choice of Li Zhi is somewhat related to the eldest grandson Wuji and the Guanlong Group."
"The reason why the Li family was able to become the final winner is that to be honest, the Guanlong Group played a great role, which caused the Guanlong Group to have a lot of influence in the early Tang Dynasty."
"For the sake of power, the eldest grandson Wuji cannot be ignored, and Li Shimin's choice of the crown prince also has to take into account the views of the eldest grandson Wuji and the Guanlong group he leads."
"As Mr. Sima said, if Li Ke is established, there may be another change in Xuanwumen."
Liu Xiu: I don't recognize the ranking of that girl, this Li Zhike can't see any ability among the princes, but his uncle is capable, and he is not as good as Li Tai!
Cao Cao: I also think this ranking is wrong, it is completely dependent on my uncle and the fisherman's profit, so that I am not as good as Li Tai!
Liu Bang: And he has a gentle personality, which is not what an emperor should have.
