Chapter 291: The Hardworking King Li Yu

Chapter 291 The Hardworking King Li Yu
【Tang Daizong Li Yu】

[Military achievements: Suppressed the An-Shi Rebellion. However, since the outbreak of the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang court transferred all the northwestern border garrison troops to the Central Plains to fight against the rebels, making the northwest a military vacuum zone.

Tubo, which had been waiting for an opportunity to develop, took the opportunity to encroach on the country, so in the late period of Emperor Daizong's reign, Guo Ziyi won a series of battles against Tubo.

However, Hexi, Longyou and other places had been lost, and the connection with the Western Regions was completely cut off.

At the same time, the Nanzhao Kingdom encroached on the southwestern territory, and the Bohai Kingdom cut off the northeastern territory.

Tang Dynasty - Daizong Period
"Boom!"

The bowstring trembled.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yu, who was sweating profusely, covering his arm and saying nothing, and snorted coldly.

Then he threw the bow and arrow in his hand back to the soldier beside him.

“The bow is well maintained.”

He praised without looking at the soldier whose face was flushed with excitement.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yu.

"If I had my precious bow, I would have shot you through the arm!"

Li Yu gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

“Taizong, Lai Sun really tried his best!”

Li Shimin said coldly:

"I know, otherwise it wouldn't be your arm that would be shot! It would be your chest!"

Then he sighed again:
"The mess left by those two bastards is indeed difficult to clean up."

"But it's also true that you always want to play the game of imperial power!"

Li Yu looked up and wanted to say something.

Li Shimin raised his hand to stop, and then sighed repeatedly.

"What are you going to do here..."

Sorrow!

Li Heng can set the tone just by showing up himself.

And here...

He didn't think that those local lords who had become local emperors would give him face.

Unless he stays here all the time.

But how is this possible!

Trapped both internally and externally!
"Call all your ministers here."

We can only use stupid methods, such as finding out the situation, planting spies, and dividing and defeating them.

……

[Institutional construction: Eunuchs were ordered to take charge of the imperial guards and a powerful force, the Shen Ce Army, was created.

But it also dug a bottomless pit for subsequent Tang emperors.

Evaluation level E, zero points]

……

Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng period.

"During the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were arrogant and overbearing, and they were above the imperial power."

Yongzheng twisted the jade bead and said solemnly:
"But these are just appearances."

"Do you know why?"

Hongli nodded and said loudly:
"Fundamentally, the main source of power for eunuchs is the emperor."

"It is an extension of the emperor's will and power in the outer court."

"During the reign of Emperor Daizong, the three eunuchs Li Fuguo, Cheng Yuanzhen and Yu Chaoen were successively eliminated."

"During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, Tuotu Chengcui's great power came from Emperor Xianzong's support."

"When Emperor Xianzong passed away, Tuotu Chengcui also fell and died."

"Eunuchs are one of the important forces supporting the imperial power. Just as Emperor Dezong of Tang had initially handed over the command of the imperial guards to generals, but they performed poorly in the Jingyuan Incident, causing Emperor Dezong to hand over the command of the imperial guards to his household slaves again."

"For example, during the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were sent to the vassal states to serve as military supervisors, replacing the functions of the previous imperial censors."

"The reason why the vassal states could accept eunuchs as military supervisors was because they represented the emperor."

Yongzheng nodded.

"Then how did the eunuchs completely control the government of the Tang Dynasty?"

Hongli glanced at Su Peisheng beside him and said slowly:
"It started from Emperor Daizong ordering eunuchs to take charge of the imperial guards, and Emperor Xianzong appointing eunuchs as Privy Councilors."

"With control of the army, eunuchs now have the power to depose and enthrone emperors."

……

[Diplomatic Strategy: After the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was empty and the vassal states all rebelled. Rating: D, get 1 point]

[People's Livelihood and Economy: Appoint Liu Yan to reconnect the grain transport from the south to Guanzhong and stabilize grain prices.

The salt tax during the reign of Emperor Sukjong was reformed, and the salt produced was purchased by salt officials and was not allowed to be sold privately to merchants.

The salt collected by the salt officials was sold to salt merchants at the salt fields. After the merchants paid the salt fee and salt tax, they could transport and sell the salt freely.

In order to prevent merchants from raising the price of salt, "Changping Salt" was established to stabilize the price of salt.

In areas with good harvests, grain is purchased at prices higher than the market price, and in areas with poor harvests, it is sold at prices lower than the market price to stabilize prices.

At the same time, the equalization and transport system was implemented, that is, each region used part of its local rent and tax revenue and salt profits to purchase local specialties and supply them to the capital.

It not only facilitated the capital, but also promoted local areas, thus improving the difficult political situation and tight finances.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che looked at the name.

Raise the rating by three points on your own?

It's a talent!

but……

"I don't know whether this person can have a good ending." The reforms are so good that they will hinder some people's paths.

I wonder if the next emperor can make good use of this person.

He used it as well as Sang Hongyang.

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji frowned and thought hard.

"Liu Yan...Liu Yan..."

Gao Lishi, who was standing by, took a half step forward and whispered:
"The saint is the child that Zhang Xiang called Guo Rui."

Li Longji's brows relaxed and he suddenly realized.

"It's him!... Are you sure it's not someone with the same name?"

Gao Lishi lowered his eyes and said:

"This person is currently the magistrate of Xia County. He has never supervised the collection of taxes during his tenure, but the taxes paid by Xia County have never been overdue."

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and twirled his beard twice.

"Well...it doesn't matter if this Liu Yan is that Liu Yan."

"Just from this point alone, you can tell that he is a talented person!"

"Order him to come to the capital!"

Li Longji's eyes lit up and he said:

"I need to investigate carefully!"

Which emperor wouldn’t love a financial expert like Sang Hongyang!

This is a treasure!

……

[Employ people and know people: Use eunuchs to balance government affairs, and then find a reason to get rid of them after they become hated by both gods and men; use Liu Yan and others to govern the government and ensure clean administration.

It can be seen that although the approach is wrong, it does help to identify and employ people.

However, he never believed in Guo Ziyi, who worked hard for the country, which caused He Shao's vassal state to become further alienated.

Evaluation level C, two points]

[Influence on later generations: He was the terminator of the Anshi Rebellion, which had no sense of existence at all, the creator of the Three Towns of Hebei, and the initiator of the troubles caused by the feudal lords.

The only Tang Dynasty emperor who didn't take elixirs.

……

On the canopy.

A golden light as thick as a thumb slowly descended from the sky reluctantly.

Li Yu looked at the golden light that didn't fall an inch in three breaths and sighed helplessly.

He was in power for seventeen years, working diligently to suppress rebellions and govern the country.

He quelled the Anshi Rebellion and eliminated the powerful eunuchs.

It was difficult to defend the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Although he was unable to resist frequent foreign invasions, his life was still hard, right?

You don't dislike me so much!

"I know you don't like him, but the sky has its own rules."

Li Shimin, who was standing by, also felt uncomfortable watching this, and shouted loudly to the sky:
"You'd better come down quickly, so that everyone won't feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the golden light in the sky paused slightly, and then it dived straight into Li Yu's body.

Not a ripple at all.

Li Yu became even more depressed.

Li Shimin couldn't bear to see his dying look, so he said directly:

"Tell me, what's the reward?"

Li Yu said dejectedly:
"I gained ten years of life."

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and smacked his lips.

"Hmm...very good..."

It's just useless...

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shimin in the sky with an expressionless face.
