Chapter 108
[Princess Taiping actually coveted the throne at this time, but there are not many people who support her in the court. After experiencing the incident of her mother Wu Zetian, whether it is the surviving Tang royal family or the important officials loyal to Li Tang, they are too sensitive about it. 】
[Although Princess Taiping's wish has not been fulfilled for the time being, she has done a lot of meritorious service in the eradication of Empress Wei's rebellion, and she has many followers and confidants, so the entire court dare not act rashly. 】
【Tang Ruizong Li Dan, like his brother Li Xian, is also a cowardly and incompetent person, facing Princess Taiping's pressing every step of the way, helpless. 】
【Princess Taiping and Prince Li Longji are constantly fighting and getting more and more fierce. 】
[All the courtiers were anxious. Li Dan listened more to Princess Taiping's opinions at first, but he was worried that his sister would become the second empress, and later he was more inclined to his son Li Longji. 】
[At this time, the battle between Princess Taiping and Li Longji has become intense. 】
[Princess Taiping first negotiated with Prime Minister Song Jing to change the crown prince, but after being rejected by the prime minister, Princess Taiping decided to launch a coup by force, following the example of the chaos that killed Queen Wei, and won the throne. 】
[Tang Ruizong Li Dan felt the wind was tight and couldn't cope. In an emergency, he even gave up the throne to Prince Li Longji in advance. He only held part of the power in his hands. 】
[After Empress Wu Zetian abdicated in the Tang Dynasty, there was no peace in the world. 】
[On the contrary, the court is even more turbulent.In the first year of Xiantian, the tension in the court reached its peak. 】
[Princess Taiping and Li Longji are both ready to use force to eliminate each other. 】
[In the second year of Xiantian, Princess Taiping summoned all her confidantes, and prepared to use the Southern Yamen soldiers from the south and the north to use the Imperial Forest Army to jointly attack and seize power. 】
[And Li Longji decided to strike first, sending troops to attack the Yulin Army and Nanya soldiers first, and beheaded Princess Taiping's party members and confidantes. 】
【Princess Taiping was finally defeated by a single move, and was given to death in the end. 】
[Li Longji's victory was really a fluke. If he was a little late, Princess Taiping would definitely become the second empress. 】
Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and finally there was no second empress in the Tang Dynasty.
Yingzheng, Han Wudi and other emperors were also relieved.
Although the affairs of the Great Tang had nothing to do with them, they were born with the superiority of men and inferiority of women in their bones. Women became emperors and gave orders to men like them, which they absolutely could not tolerate.
[At this time, Li Longji completely cut off all obstacles and changed his name to Kaiyuan, expressing his determination to work hard. 】
[And Li Longji did not disappoint the high expectations of the officials and the people of the world. 】
[He promoted Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling and other talented people to be prime ministers. 】
[Rectify the administration of officials, persuade farming and mulberry, build water conservancy, spread the word, reward honest ministers, restrain imperial power, and not allow eunuchs to rule, etc. 】
[In just over ten years, the Tang Dynasty recovered from the chaos and fatigue of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian's period, and flourished day by day, far surpassing the Zhenguan rule of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's period. 】
[It has reached the peak of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. 】
[At this time, the number of households in the Tang Dynasty reached 1100 million, with a population of 7000 million, far surpassing that of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and even more so than that of the Sui Dynasty.It has reached an unprecedented peak in the previous dynasties. 】
[Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, there are still thousands of houses in Xiaoyi.The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are full of fruit.There are no wolves on the roads of Kyushu, and the sunrise will not be auspicious when traveling far. 】
[This is a majestic picture scroll written by the great poet Du Fu during the prosperous Kaiyuan period. 】
Datang.
Du Fu looked up at the poem that appeared in the sky, his eyes were shining, but there was a faint glimmer of tears.
Now almost everyone in the world knows that the Tang Dynasty contains a huge crisis, but only Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is still deaf.
Everyone is helpless.
The picture in the sky is constantly changing.
The camera overlooks the majestic mountains and rivers.Boundless, green crops.
The golden rice fields sway gently in the breeze.
Everyone seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of rice flowers through the screen.
There are busy farmers everywhere.
A warm, simple and honest smile makes people feel more cordial.
The lens turns.
In the treasury of Chang'an City, white rice and yellow corn flowed all over the ground.
And in the granaries of the people's homes, rice and grain piled up into mountains.
There is really nowhere to stack them, and the ones placed outside are already rotten.
The mouse crawled around, but the owner didn't care.
. . . .
The treasury of each state and county is full of grain.
Cloth, gold and silver, copper coins and other items were piled up into hills.
Zeng Juxian's voice was a little excited.
[The price of rice in Chang'an, the western capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, is less than [-] yuan per stone.Various items such as cloth and silk are also cheap, and the people live in abundance, and every household lives and works in peace and contentment. 】
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and other monarchs and ministers couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"If I can be so rich during Zhenguan years, my wish will be enough!" Li Shimin muttered to himself.
After all, he has seen too many prosperous times of other emperors, and he is very jealous, but only the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan" belongs to Datang, and the time is not far away.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others were beaming with joy.
"Your Majesty, our rule of Zhenguan will definitely not be weaker than the Kaiyuan period of later generations!"
"Yes! Yes! If my children and grandchildren can do it, I can do it too!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, appearing full of confidence.
[Nine days of war and opening of the palace, the clothes of all nations worship the crown! 】
[Since Li Shimin's reign of Zhenguan, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's Kaiyuan prosperity pushed Datang to an extreme peak! 】
[All nations come to court! 】
[Fanbang all around are proud to be affiliated with Datang! 】
[Huihe, Bohai, Khitan, Xi, Silla, Dongying...the vassal states all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty...]
[Persia, Dashi... various countries have traveled thousands of miles to make good business relations with Datang. 】
The video continues to play.
On the streets of Chang'an, I saw foreigners wearing all kinds of costumes and looks of different races, with respectful expressions.
Even in the face of ordinary merchants in Datang, they dare not be rude.
Inside Daming Palace.
The young Tang Xuanzong Li Longji stood on the high platform of the square, full of spirits.
Hundreds of kings, chiefs and envoys of different ethnic groups stood on the square.
Everyone knelt down respectfully and praised in unison.
"Have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin waved everyone to stand up, he said loudly.
"My Tang Dynasty has never been divided into Hua and Yi. As long as you come to Datang, everyone is brothers and sisters, and you must live in harmony. Any disputes and conflicts can be discussed calmly!"
"If it is really difficult to deal with, I, Da Tang, will uphold justice for you!"
"Great Tang!"
The crowd cheered and thundered.
[When the kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty came to the court, those foreign and barbarians were truly surrendered!Instead of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, and extravagantly wrapped silk on a tree like glory! 】
