Chapter 447: Using power to interpret the history of Wu Zetian's ascendancy
"Yue Guan, if I hadn't watched the crew of "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty", I wouldn't have known that there were so many stories between Li Shimin and Wu Zetian. ”
Yang Xue was lying in Yue Guan's arms, watching the plot of "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" with relish.
If she just reads history books, she will definitely not be able to read it.
But if you look at Yue Guan, it's no problem.
And Li Zhi played by Yue Guan really subverted the perception of Li Zhi in her mind, at least until now, he is the protagonist of a cool drama with a completely online IQ.
The more the audience watched, the more refreshed they became.
Yue Guan also looked very seriously: "I know a little more than you, but a lot of things are also found out after I want to shoot Li Zhi, and then check the information." The people who can leave their names in the long river of history, compared to the vast majority of ordinary people, are the heroes of that era, and there are many stories that can be excavated. Through Li Zhi, I once again discovered that we really don't lack good stories, what we lack is people who shoot these good stories. ”
No one had ever thought that Lee Chi would be a good story before.
Even if it is to be filmed, capital and practitioners would rather focus on Li Shimin and Wu Zetian, Li Zhi is always the little transparent that is ignored.
But Yue Guan discovered the story of Li Zhi.
Then the story of Li Zhi was filmed.
Then, it's really good-looking.
"There is also a problem, the official system of the Tang Dynasty is too chaotic and too difficult to remember. Yang Xue complained: "It's not as clear and easy to understand as in "Game of Thrones". ”
In "Game of Thrones", Prime Minister Zhuge is placed there, and the audience knows that he is above ten thousand people under one person when they see his title as prime minister.
But during the Tang Dynasty, there was no nominal prime minister.
Among the six ministries of the three provinces, the boss of the three provinces is the de facto prime minister.
Later, Li Shimin got another three products under the same Chinese book, and this official position is also the actual prime minister.
Let's put it this way, in the early Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was not worth anything at all.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the prime minister, Chu Suiliang is the prime minister, and even Li Ji, who has always belonged to the group of military generals, is also the prime minister.
But their official positions varied.
The power of the prime minister was divided into multiple parts, resulting in a complete inability to confront the monarchy, which was Li Shimin's cleverness.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, in order to take back the power from the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the first one to intervene was also the actual power.
Li Shimin has already divided the power of the prime minister, but Li Zhi has "super doubled" on the basis of Li Shimin.
This card is much better than Grandpa Lu.
Li Zhi invented an official position, called Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, this official position is also the prime minister, and then Li Zhi arranged a group of his own cronies who were very trusted during the Donggong period.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang are still big guys.
But a few newcomers came, and they were theoretically on an equal footing.
They have no way to object yet.
It seems that the highest status in the court is still the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, they are old, have high prestige, and high status, which are not comparable to some young people.
But after a long time, everyone is the prime minister, and I am still a close confidant of the emperor, why should I be inferior to you?
At the level of prime minister, a radish is a pit.
If you want to work hard to climb up, you have to kill the big guy above.
And without the help of the emperor, these new prime ministers would definitely not be able to fight the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang.
However, they had help from the emperor.
As a result, a group of new prime ministers began to arch pigs, and subtly began to weaken the power of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang.
This method is Yangmou, and after much time, Li Ji, as a military general, chose to resign and run away.
Brother, a soldier who leads troops to fight, can't fight a group of you who play with pens, can't you hide if you can't provoke it?
So Li Ji withdrew.
Chu Suiliang and eldest grandson Wuji are still strong.
The next unlucky one is Chu Suiliang.
Who made him easier to deal with than the eldest grandson Wuji.
Someone falsely accused Chu Suiliang of lowering the price of buying land, Li Zhi asked people to simply check it, and then demoted Chu Suiliang to the history of the same state.
Then, his cronies quickly ascended to the throne, replacing Chu Suiliang's position in the court.
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, were basically Li Zhi alone.
Li Shimin left Li Zhi with two half-ministers: Li Ji resigned himself, Chu Suiliang was demoted, and the eldest grandson Wuji supported independently, but there were already seven or eight prime ministers in the dynasty.
Except for the eldest grandson Wuji, the prime ministers are all Li Zhi's people.
At this time, Li Zhi had only been on the throne for one year.
Without any fierce conflict, he used a boiled frog in warm water to imperceptibly complete his control of the court.
This kind of imperial mental trick is in stark contrast to the crying Li Zhi before he ascended the throne.
Seeing this, Yang Xue sighed with emotion: "Although I still can't remember those official positions, I can still see that Li Zhi is very powerful." A young man in his early twenties can control a group of human spirits, there are not many emperors like this in history, right?"
"The most important thing is not only to control these ministers, but also to make the world govern well. Really speaking, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty also played a very slippery imperial trick, and his control over the court was also very strong, but when it came to governing the world, Jiajing was simply hung up and beaten by Li Zhi. ”
Jiajing only points to the attribute of infighting, not the attribute of governing the country, only knows the art of manipulating people's hearts, and does not understand the way of governing the country and securing the people.
In addition to being able to control the court, Li Zhi still does not pull his hips in the attributes of governing the country.
Moreover, Li Zhi's martial arts are even stronger than Wen Zhi.
In the second year after Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Western Turks invaded the Tang border again.
At this time, Li Zhi had basically completed the integration of forces in the court, and the monarch's power had been unprecedentedly strengthened, but Li Shimin, who was the Heavenly Khan, died, and he had not yet proved his martial arts.
When the opportunity came, Li Zhi did not let go, and ordered Liang Jianfang, the general of the Marquis of Zuowu, and He Li, the general of the right Xiaowei, to lead 30,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Hui cavalry, and defeated the Western Turks, killing more than 9,000 people.
After the death of Tian Khan, the Quartet barbarians were ready to move, and the successor Tang King defended the honor of the Tang Dynasty with practical actions, and also made the Quartet Xiaoxiao understand one thing:
Your uncle is still your uncle!
This is a political achievement accomplished by Li Zhi within two years of his accession to the throne.
And Li Zhi didn't just do that.
Wu Zetian's affairs, along with these political struggles, began to advance step by step.
"The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" does not focus on portraying the love story of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, on the contrary, this drama uses power to reinterpret the history of Wu Zetian's ascendancy.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, Wu Zetian has been a nun in Ganye Temple, Li Zhi has been very clear, and has never mentioned his little mother.
After Li Ji resigned, Chu Suiliang was demoted, and he basically took control of the court, Li Zhi took Wu Zetian back to the palace.
Note that at this point it was only taken back to the palace.
After Liang Jianfang and Qibi He Li, whom he appointed, defeated the Turks and made military achievements, Li Zhi made Wu Zetian Zhaoyi.
The history of Wu Zetian's ascendancy, behind every step, represents that Li Zhi's monarchy has been further strengthened.
This is not a love story.
This is the history of the growth of an emperor.
