Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 356 A True Eternal Emperor

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Cheng Chuli say that he still has meritorious deeds.

Asked: "Quickly tell me, what achievements have I made?"

Cheng Chuli immediately lost interest.He really didn't want to talk about it.As soon as this thing is said, it seems like flattery.

But people have already asked, so it’s okay not to say it!
Cheng Chuli took the history book and flipped through it, and found the place where Li Shimin's achievements were written.

He tore it off in a hurry, handed it to Li Shimin and said, "Come on, see for yourself!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and looked at it.

Then, his face darkened, because he really couldn't understand it!

Some people will say that traditional characters have been used in the fonts of the Tang Dynasty, and there should be no problem with the current characters.

But have you thought about it?We can understand traditional characters because we have seen traditional characters.At least knowing that this is a traditional character, it is easy to think what it is.

In other words, let a person from Taiwan or Hong Kong read simplified characters, and he can understand more or less, because he has the awareness of simplified characters and knows that these are simplified characters.

But Li Shimin is different. He is a person who has never seen simplified characters, and he doesn't even have the awareness of simplified characters.If you ask him to read simplified Chinese characters, how can he understand them?

Li Shimin looked there for a long time, but he still couldn't understand.

He looked up at Cheng Chuli with an expression of asking for help.

Cheng Chuli finally came to his senses, and said to Li You: "Second senior brother, come and read it to your father!"

Li You agreed, went up to take the paper, and began to read:
"Achievements of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, 1: Learning lessons from the end of the Sui Dynasty, adjusting the ruling relationship. Correctly handling the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, comparing the monarch to a boat, comparing the people to water, and proposing that "water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it."

2: Correctly handle the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, be good at employing people, and accept advice with an open mind.Make decisions right and politics clear.

3: Improve the system of three provinces and six ministries, improve administrative efficiency, and strengthen centralization.

4: Improve the imperial examination system, attach importance to the cultivation and selection of talents, and expand the ruling foundation.

5: Emphasis on agricultural production in the economy, reducing rent and tax, reducing labor, and promoting economic recovery and development.

6: In terms of ethnic relations, ethnic minorities are treated equally, so as to promote harmonious ethnic relations and great national unity.

7: In terms of external relations, strengthen relations with island countries and Silla.finished reading. "

Ga... not...

Li Shimin was very confused, and it was over.He stared at Li You.

Li You said innocently: "Father really has so many."

Li Shimin's face was very ugly, because in his opinion, these were not meritorious deeds, but seemed to be insulting him.

Accepting advice with an open mind, is this also called merit?

Others may think so, but Li Shimin knows that this is being bullied, by the ministers of those aristocratic families.

There is also strengthening the relationship between the island countries. Isn’t this what Cheng Chuli said just now, giving the technology to the island countries, which caused a catastrophe?
Therefore, Li Shimin's face was very dark.

Cheng Chuli hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, I have summarized that your main achievements are: light corvee and poor taxation, good at accepting advice, implementing the imperial examination system, defeating the Eastern Turks, and managing the Western Regions.

The fault is: sending Princess Wencheng to Tubo to marry.In his later years, he was obsessed with the art of longevity, and resorted to military tactics. He mistakenly killed ministers and caused his eldest grandson Wuji to become a prince, and established a wrong prince and caused the queen to usurp power. "

Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked, "Who did I appoint as the crown prince? This bastard, I will kill him now."

Cheng Chuli quickly said: "Your Majesty, please don't get excited. In fact, this is just what is said in the history books. This is your fault, rather than your greatest achievement."

What the hell, choosing the wrong prince and letting someone usurp the throne, is this a success?

Is what you Cheng Chuli said human?That's not how flattering is done, is it?
Everyone looked at Cheng Chuli with puzzled faces.

Cheng Chuli said: "Let me tell you, this empress is the only emperor of all ages under the first emperor. Her era was the most powerful period of the Chinese nation.

Internally, the country has been truly rich and the people strong.To the outside world, that is the true submission to the world, the hegemony of the world.Don't you feel proud that you have cultivated such an emperor by accident?

By the way, let me tell you one thing, although her country name was changed to Wu Zhou.In fact, regardless of history or himself, he still admits that it belongs to Datang.So, you have cultivated such an emperor, you should be proud. "

Li Shimin's eyes widened again, as if it didn't matter whether she admitted it was Datang or not.He asked in surprise: "World overlord? So powerful?"

The other three were also shocked.Can this word be used casually?

This is the world!World Overlord!

Ever since Cheng Chuli brought them a map, their world also has a concept.

What a vast continent this is!The emperor of our Tang Dynasty actually became the hegemony of the world, isn't this bullshit bragging like that?
If you say it is an Asian overlord or something, we will believe it.After all, this is our Datang no matter what, and we also have vanity.

But you say the hegemon of the world, this is simply cheating us like children.

Cheng Chuli nodded and said: "Don't doubt it, it's much more powerful than you imagined. Before, when Tubo and Turks joined forces, we just ignored the head and tail. But that queen is amazing. Almost all the countries on the border of the Tang Dynasty joined forces Let’s attack Datang together. Guess what happened in the end?”

"How about it?"

All the people present widened their eyes, waiting for Cheng Chuli's reply.

Cheng Chu sat upright, looked into the distance, as if lost in memory, and said: "It was a war of unprecedented scale waged by the most powerful countries in Asia at that time. The scale shocked the world.

"

"It happened like this. At that time, the queen had just established the country. As a result, because she was a woman, the nomadic civilizations around felt that the Tang Dynasty had declined, and it turned out that a woman was in charge of power.

What is there to be afraid of a woman, she has to take advantage of it! "

"Thus, the four countries of Tubo, Later Turks, Western Turks, and Shiwei joined forces to form a four-nation coalition with a force of more than 200 million, and launched an unprecedented war of annihilation against our Tang Dynasty! Think about it, that is a picture What kind of scene?
"

"What? An army of more than 200 million?"

At this moment, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Junxian.Or the senior brother and the second senior brother were all stunned.

Two million troops, that's two million troops!Who can stop an army of this size?
Anyway, if Cheng Chuli did not appear in Datang, he would definitely be wiped out in the face of a 200 million army with guns and cannons.

It was hard for them to imagine how Datang survived in front of 200 million cavalry?
Cheng Chuli looked at them with contempt, and said: "The more terrifying thing is yet to come! The armies of these four countries formed a double-team attack on Datang, attacking from the northeast, the north, the northwest, and the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. , A large-scale invasion of my Datang.

The scale is so large that it shocked the world.

They have made up their minds, they are going to take Datang away in this wave! "

"Huh? My God!"

Li Junxian immediately exclaimed.

Really, this is too terrifying. An army of more than 200 million is attacking Datang from all sides. Is it possible for Datang to survive?

Li Shimin and his two sons were also so shocked that they sweated and their heads were buzzing.

What about the 200 million army, even if it is placed in front of you, if you use m[-] to shoot, you can't kill them all, right?
No way, I can't hit it!Hit and hit, and the rest are beyond the shooting range.

What kind of scene this is, few people dare to imagine.

Li Shimin asked anxiously: "What happened afterwards, did the queen use some strategy to defeat them, or did she just bow down and surrender? Tell me quickly."

It is really uncomfortable that this appetite is suspended.

"Use strategy? Bow your head and surrender? Hehe..."

Cheng Chuli chuckled and said: "Faced with such a predicament, our empress took her time and dispatched troops. She immediately sent a large army to confront them head-on."

"Ah? Frontal tough?"

Several people were stunned again, but they were relieved after thinking about it. Faced with such a situation, any strategy would be fake.

But head-on, can this win?Anyway, if there is no Cheng Chuli, according to Datang, there is absolutely no way to fight against the current national strength.

Cheng Chuli said: "Our empress is not in a hurry, in the east, she sent Li Duozuo, the right eagle general of Yangwei, to fight against Shi Wei and Hou Turk.

"

"In the west, she sent Wang Xiaojie, the head of Wuwei Road, to fight Tubo and Xitujue."

"There is also Suiye guard general Han Sizhong, who is responsible for guarding Anxi and blocking the headquarters of Xitujue.

"

"The Tang Dynasty started the war on the third front, sniping the Allied Forces of the Four Nations frantically. The world was shocked, and almost all countries in the world were paying attention to the result of this battle.

"

"What's the result? Xiao Chuli, don't worry about it, okay?"

Li Shimin asked anxiously.The level of appetite is a bit high in this journey!It's too uncomfortable.

"That's right! What's the result? Tell me quickly, Teacher." Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother also asked anxiously.

Sensing the piercing eyes of the four people, Cheng Chuli said slowly: "In the first battle, Wang Xiaojie, the head of Wuwei Road, defeated Xitujue in Daling Valley, killing more than 3 enemies.

"

"In the second battle, Li Duozuo, the general of Youying Yangwei, was defeated and the Turks were in Lingzhou."

"In the third battle, Li Duozuo, the general of Youying Yangwei, moved to the northeast and defeated Shiwei."

"In the fourth battle, Wang Xiaojie, the general manager of Wuwei Road, defeated Tubo in Lengquan and killed more than 3 Tubo soldiers.

"

"In the fifth battle, Han Sizhong, the guardian of Suiye, defeated the coalition forces of the three tribes of Xitujue, killed [-] enemies, followed the forces to attack Tubo, and captured the Tubo city.

"

"Five battles and five victories! No defeat. Isn't it very exciting and incredible?"

gah...

He actually won, he actually won.

Although they knew that since Cheng Chuli brought up this matter, he must have won the battle with a high probability.

But after hearing the result, they were also very shocked.

The 200 million troops of the four kingdoms of Ganggang have won five battles and five victories, completely crushing them.

What kind of strength is this?

No wonder Cheng Chuli said that he, Li Shimin, should feel lucky to have cultivated such a female emperor.

With such achievements, he, Li Shimin, is simply a clown in front of others!There is no comparison at all!

If Cheng Chuli hadn't been there, Li Shimin would not have had such a strong national power throughout his life!
Moreover, they are still just founding a country!

When Li Shimin first came to power, the Turks also came to fight the autumn wind.

But how did he, Li Shimin, do it?
Sign the shameful alliance under the city, spend money to buy peace.

A small Turkic army with an army of 20 forced him into such a mess.

As for the female emperor, she had just established the country, and Li Shimin hadn't established the country yet!It's the second emperor!
There is really no way to compare this, the comparison is just blush.

Li Ke asked: "Teacher, I admit that she is very powerful, and she has won such wars. But there is still a certain gap between this and the world's hegemony? After all, this is just dominance in Asia. Moreover, even small countries such as island countries he is Haven’t fought yet, did he conquer all these countries later?”

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.

Several people looked at Cheng Chuli again with piercing eyes.

Cheng Chuli said: "There is one more thing I didn't tell you just now, and that is the matter of time. How long did it take for the empress to defeat these four countries?
That started in 693 AD and ended in February 694 AD.This was the largest war in the world up to that time, and it took the queen less than 2 months to completely settle it!Let the four countries bow their heads and surrender.The land is directly included in the territory of Datang.Think about it, what is this concept? "

"Fifteen months? Is it so scary?"

At this moment, even Li Shimin's jaw almost dropped from shock.

You know, he only fought one Eastern Turk, and without Cheng Chuli's help, he doesn't know how long he would have to fight!

They insist on four countries, and get it done in one year and three months?
What kind of national power is this?It can scare people to death.

Cheng Chuli said: "After that battle, the territory of Tang Dynasty at that time was included in Tubo, Western Turkic, Later Turkic and Shiwei."

As Cheng Chuli spoke, he took out a map of the time and a large pen from his body, and showed them there.

"See? From here to here, the territory at that time covered most of Asia. It almost went to Europe.

Take a look at the map yourself, and imagine how powerful Datang was at that time. "

Li Shimin looked at this map of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he was stunned.

He, Li Shimin, also had great ambitions, but he never dared to think that Datang could develop into this way.

What a terrifying territory this is!This is the real Datang, oh my god.

Cheng Chuli said: "After that battle, the world was shaken. Almost in every corner of the earth, the prestige of Datang was widely spread."

"Think about it, the opponent's military strength alone exceeds 200 million, how many troops does Datang have to send here?"

"This battle is unprecedented. This battle is unique in the world."

"Think about it, four countries, more than 200 million coalition troops, were directly subdued by only one country in Datang. What kind of prestige is this?"

The people present, counting one by one, were all excited by Cheng Chuli's words, including Li Shimin.

Cheng Chuli continued: "The kings of those countries at that time were all stunned. I was really afraid that if they accidentally provoke Datang, it would be over."

"So, at that time, the kings of almost every country sent envoys to express their surrender to the Tang Dynasty. All countries were proud of being able to have good relations with the Tang Dynasty. It was an unprecedented time, a real visit from all nations!"

"Let me tell you, the queen at that time even created a national character, and it was written like this."

As Cheng Chuli spoke, he wrote a character "圀" for them on the table.

"Did you see? All parties are locked inside, which means that the world is unified and all parties submit. What a domineering leak!"

"what?"

Seeing this word, Li Shimin and the others' brains were buzzing.It's hard to imagine what kind of prosperous dynasty it was!

Cheng Chuli said: "Of course, this is not the real world hegemony."

Is there anything more awesome?Several people looked at Xiao Chuli again with piercing eyes, waiting for his next words.
