After the death of Taizu, Liang Guang, the king of Jin, succeeded to the throne as Taizong.

Taizong was eloquent and strategic, and he worked hard after succeeding to the throne. Politically, he did not blame the past, knew people well, obeyed the advice of the stream, and rectified the rule of officials; economically, he was frugal and prudent in government; he also devoted himself to the revival of culture and education, so that the turbulent situation could be stabilized.

Taizong improved the management system of the central officials of the dead Chen, and there was today's system of three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and the six departments refer to the Ministry of Officials, Households, Rites, Soldiers, Criminal Departments, and Ministry of Industry under Shangshu Province. Each ministry has four divisions, making a total of 24 divisions. In addition to the six departments, there are separate Dali Temple, Yushitai and Imperial City Division. Among them, Dali Temple is responsible for adjudicating affairs, and is responsible for hearing cases of crimes committed by civil and military officials in the imperial court and cases of imprisonment or above in the capital; Yushitai is responsible for supervising affairs, picketing, impeaching officials, and enforcing discipline; as for the Imperial City Division, it is more mysterious, responsible for guarding the palace, spying on intelligence, and directly obeying the emperor's orders.

Later, Taizong felt the inadequacy of the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty, so he revised it on its basis. Therefore, many of the prime ministers of today's dynasty are mostly Jinshi backgrounds. There are two sources for candidates in the regular course: one is a student and the other is a xianggong. Subjects who are born in the capital and state and county schools, and are sent to Shangshu Province are called students, and those who are not from the school hall but first pass the state and county examinations, and then send them to Shangshu Province to take the test are called Xianggong. Those who enter Beijing from the township tribute are generally called lifters. The state and county examinations are called the Jiekao, and the examinations in Shangshu Province are commonly known as the provincial examinations, or the Ministry of Rites examinations. The Ministry of Rites Examination is held in the spring, so it is also called Chunqiu, which is also the meaning of the examination room.

The two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi were only trial strategies at the beginning, and the content of the examination was Jingyi or current affairs. Although the subjects of the two examinations have changed later, the basic spirit is that Jinshi emphasizes poetry, and Mingjing emphasizes scripture and Moyi. The so-called scripture is to open a page of the scriptures, cover the left and right sides, only open a line in the middle, and then cover the three characters with paper stickers, so that the test can be filled. Moyi is a simple written test of the words of the scriptures. As long as you are familiar with the scriptures and commentaries, you can pass the test, and the poetry needs to have literary talent. It is very difficult to get the first Jinshi, so there is a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi".

The regular examination was originally presided over by the examiner of the Ministry of Officials, and later changed to be presided over by the Ministry of Rites, which was called "Quanzhi Gongju". Jinshi and the first name is "Denglongmen", and the first place is called the champion or the head. The people on the same list want to pool money to hold a celebration activity, and the two young people on the same list explore the famous flowers in the famous garden, and call the flower explorer. It is necessary to go to the apricot orchard collectively to participate in the banquet, which is called the flower exploration banquet. After Chang Ke ascended to the top, he had to go through the examination of the Ministry of Officials, which was called the selection test, and those who passed could be awarded official positions.

Taizong attaches great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After his accession, he greatly expanded the size of the college, expanded the school, and increased the number of students.

Since then, our dynasty has been Confucianism and Taoism in parallel, each with its own reliance, but it is by no means biased. Therefore, our dynasty can be so prosperous and prosperous.

Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the Qingming Dynasty of the rule of officials, and once ordered Fang Xuanling Province to be redundant, and sent 13 deposed ambassadors, including Li Jing, to inspect the whole country and inspect the wind and evaluation; he also personally selected and sent local officials such as the governor and the assassin Shi, and wrote their merits and demerits on the palace screen as the basis for rewards and punishments. In addition, it is stipulated that Beijing officials with more than five grades take turns to stay in Zhongshu Province, so that they can meet at any time and inquire about the people's weal and woe and the gains and losses of governance.

After 20 years of efforts by Taizong's monarchs and ministers, the society was stable, the economy recovered and developed steadily, and it was known as the rule of Zhenguan in history.

In Taizong's later years, because he favored his fourth son Wei Wangtai, the crown prince Chengqian and the Wei king's side competed for the throne. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, due to the collusion between the prince and the Han king Yuanchang, the princess of Chengyang, Duhe, Hou Junji and others, he planned to force the palace to raise troops first, but the matter was revealed, and the prince Chengqian was deposed. So Taizong made up his mind to take the Jin Wangzhi to the Liangyi Palace, and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Tao and other important ministers because of the competition for the throne of the sons and brothers. The eldest grandson Wuji and others came forward to stop him, saying that King Jin could be established as the prince. On April 7 of the same year, Taizong personally drove the Tianmen and issued an edict to establish Jin Wangzhi as the crown prince. Every time Taizong went to court, he often ordered the prince to be beside him, let him watch him decide various government affairs, and sometimes let him participate in deliberations, and Taizong praised his talent many times.

On May 26, the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Taizong died in the Cuiwei Palace of Zhongnan Mountain. On the 27th, with the Ministry of Rites, the young master of the prince, and the prince Yu Zhining as the servant, the prince Shaozhan Shi, and the secretary of the school Zuocheng Zhang Xing became the secretary of the middle school, the secretary of the criminal department, the right concubine of the prince, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the acting secretary of the Ministry of Household Gao Jifu as the secretary of the middle order, the secretary of the school department, and the prince Zuo Shuzi, the male Xu Jingzong of Gaoyang County and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. On the 28th, the prince returned to Beijing. On June 1, Gaozong became emperor at the age of 22. On June 10, the edict ordered his uncle Situ and Zhao Guogong Sun Wuji to be the lieutenant and inspector of the school's middle school secretary, and the British Duke Li Tao was the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong. The two are auxiliary ministers. On August 18, Taizong was buried in Zhaoling. On September 12, Liang Yuanjing, the king of Jingzhou, was awarded the title of Situ, and the former governor of Anzhou, Wu Wangke, was appointed as the Sikong and the history of the Liangzhou thorn. On the 24th, Xuan Ling of Liang Guogong was given as Tai Lieutenant, Gao Shilian of Shen Guogong was given as Situ, and Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong was given as the left servant, all of which could be sacrificed in the Taizong Temple.

At the beginning of his reign, Gaozong continued to implement the various political and economic systems formulated by Taizong, and Li Tao, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Chu Suiliang jointly assisted the government. Because he is diligent in political affairs, "the people of Fu'an, there is the legacy of Zhenguan, and the history is called "the rule of Yonghui". Gojong also insisted on his own position on the issue of deposing the empress, excluding the interference of the patriarchal faction. It's just that in the later period of Gaozong's reign, he suffered from head illness and was often dizzy, which affected the handling of government affairs. Because of his poor health, he led to the harem interfering in politics and relatives running rampant.

After Gaozong's illness, Empress Wu took the opportunity to meddle in politics and began to participate in national affairs. Empress Wu was not satisfied with gaining the status of empress, and she also wanted to further grasp power. So, on the one hand, she eliminated dissidents and cleared the obstacles on the political road, and on the other hand, she organized forces and cultivated private forces to prepare herself for further power. Gaozong because of the trend of the military queen slowly dominated the political situation, once had the intention of abolishing the queen, but the plan was learned by the martial queen, the martial queen appealed to Gaozong to justify, and the matter was abandoned, but Shangguan Yi, who assisted Gaozong in preparing the edict, was punished by the clan. After this incident, Gaozong no longer had a reason to suppress Empress Wu. Subsequently, Gaozong's head disease worsened, unable to see, difficult to manage government affairs, Empress Wu was able to gradually grasp the government, Gojong used the title of emperor under the advice of Empress Wu, and was called the two saints together with the Empress Take.

Soon after, Gaozong died of illness, and Gaozong and Empress Wu's son Xian succeeded him as Zhongzong. It's just that Zhongzong is cowardly, and he follows the opinions of the Empress Wu in everything, and he can't be arbitrary. The courtiers hated it, but they were helpless.

As a result, for many years afterward, the Wu clan was so powerful that it steadily suppressed the Liang royal family.

After that, the Liang clan and the Wu clan launched a more than ten years of open and secret fighting, which caused the national strength to decline, the border troubles continued, and the lives of the people were also greatly affected.

Zhongzong succeeded to the throne for five years, and after Wu, he changed Luoyang, Kyoto, to the "divine capital", wantonly killed the royal family, and raised the "cool official politics". But she is "discerning and decisive", has more power and strategy, and can use people. It also rewarded agriculture, reformed the rule of officials, and attached importance to the selection of talents, so that talents came out in large numbers.

It's just that as the martial arts queen grew older, she gradually became extravagant and arbitrary, began to indulge in pleasure, overhauled palaces and Buddhist temples, and gradually developed maladministration.

The first Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers of the Empress Wu are young and beautiful, often Fu Zhu Fan, and they are gorgeously dressed. The important figures of the Wu clan all vied to chase after them, and even whipped and led horses for them. At that time, Empress Wu had entered her twilight years, and she was riddled with illness for a long time and could not listen to the government, and her control over the government declined, and she regarded the two brothers as her eyes and ears. Erzhang gradually intervened in the government and framed Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong, not only resenting the minister, but also making the relationship between Empress Wu and the imperial family Liang even worse, causing complications in the political situation, and the relationship between Empress Wu's mother and son, monarch and minister was also unprecedentedly tense.

In July of the fifteenth year of Zhongzong, Empress Wu was ill and bedridden in Yingxian Palace, with only Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers serving on the side. Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei and ministers Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan, Yuan Shuji, etc., befriended Li Duozuo, the commander of the forbidden army, and pretended to be two Zhang rebellions. So he staged a coup d'état, led more than 500 forbidden troops, rushed into Ziwei City, killed Erzhang, and then surrounded the Immortal Hall where Empress Wu slept, and asked her to move out of the capital. Empress Wu was forced to relocate to Shangyang Palace. In September of the same year, Empress Wu died in the palace at the age of seventy-two, and he was in charge of the court for more than 30 years. Since then, the government has finally returned to the hands of the Liang family.

Zhongzong complied with his will, changed his name to "Zetian Great Sage Empress", and was buried in Qianling as the queen. Later, she was called "the Holy Empress of Tianshun".

After Zhongzong regained power, he first added his younger brother Liang Dan as the king of Anguo, worshiped Taiwei and Tongzhongshu, and added the title of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo to his younger sister Princess Taiping in recognition of their support. Zhang Cambodia, Cui Xuanwei and others were also promoted to knighthood. In February, the capital of the country was restored to Luoyang, and the old classics of the Gaozong period were restored.

In the second year, Zhongzong immediately established Wei as the queen, and despite the dissuasion of the minister, he made an exception to posthumously crown Empress Wei's father as the king, and let Empress Wei participate in the government affairs, but did not give credit to Zhang Cambodia and other meritorious heroes. Marry Empress Wei's daughter, Princess Anle, to the Wu clan. Empress Wei had an ambiguous relationship with the Wu clan, and Empress Wei was very trustworthy in his sons and daughters, and formed a powerful political force to control the government. Zhongzong couldn't do anything about it.

Zhongzong succeeded to the throne for twenty-seven years, and was poisoned and died by the conspiracy of Empress Wei and the Wu clan at the age of 55. He was later buried in Dingling.

In the same month, Zhongzong's youngest son, Wen Wang Chongmao, was established as the emperor, changed the yuan to "Liang Long", and was called by the Wei Hou Dynasty, wanting to repeat the story of the Empress Wu.

In June of the same year, King Xiang united with Princess Taiping, befriended the generals of the forbidden army, Ge Fushun, Chen Xuanli, etc., and punished Empress Wei, Princess Anle, Zhu Wei, Wu, etc. with soldiers. It is known as the Liang Long coup d'état. It was the abolition of the young emperor, and the king Liang Dan succeeded to the throne, which was Ruizong.

Since then, I have transferred the throne of Emperor Liang to the Liang Dan lineage, until today.

Ruizong is the grandfather of today's son.
