The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

At this time, Emperor Taizong of Tang was looking at the inventory of the heavenly scroll while asking someone to copy the "vaccination" secret book that Kangxi had just sent to everyone.
This was the first time he saw content sent by someone other than the grandmother, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

When the heavenly scroll appeared this time, Li Zhi happened to be by his side again, reporting to him the results of his investigation into the Wu family over the past half month.

"You mean, there is no one commanding the Wu family?" Emperor Taizong of Tang frowned.
Li Zhi nodded and said, "I and Prime Minister Wei investigated the attendants in Wu's palace and searched her bedroom, but we didn't find anything that violated the rules. I also sent someone to Wu's hometown to bring her family and sent them to the Dali Temple."

At this point, he looked up at his father and said, "After the interrogation at the Dali Temple, they didn't get anything. Not only that..."
"what?"

"The Wu family asked why they were arrested. After learning that it was related to the Wu family, they immediately distanced themselves from the matter. They said that no matter what happened, it was all done by the Wu family alone and had nothing to do with his family."
Li Shimin frowned: "Are they sacrificing the chariot to save the king? This is too obvious!"

"I don't know, and I'm just about to ask further."
Li Zhi thought that they just wanted to distance themselves from the matter, because after the interrogation, he found that the two brothers of the Wu family did not seem to care much about Wu.

Although he did not take part in the interrogation of the Wu family, as the main official in charge, he still participated. Seeing the Wu family members, both men and women, screaming in pain while being tortured by the Dali Temple officials, he felt very uncomfortable.
I even felt that if I had known that so many people would be implicated, I would have been better off not stopping my father from the beginning and letting him kill Wu directly.

However, when interrogating Wu, he was repeatedly questioned by her, which made him speechless. After all, it was just a sentence from Tian Juan that caused so many people to suffer an unprovoked disaster. It was really too casual.

Li Shimin snorted coldly after hearing this: "People in the capital know a lot about the Heavenly Scroll. I don't believe that the Wu family doesn't know. They say they know nothing, but in fact they know everything. Keep investigating, and we'll eventually find out something."
"Yes, Father."
After agreeing, Li Zhi hesitated.

"Father, Wu Shigui of the Wu family was one of the seventeen heroes who followed Grandfather in the uprising, and was once awarded a golden medal of immunity from death. Now Governor Wu has passed away, but his influence in the court remains. If we really can't find any evidence of his guilt, I'm afraid this matter will not end well."

Li Shimin was naturally aware of Li Zhi's worries. Wu Shigui was a good brother of his father and was originally a wealthy merchant from Shanxi. If it weren't for his funding, they would have had to think carefully before they wanted to rebel.
And it was after his death that Wu was brought into the palace, largely for the purpose of taking care of Wu's descendants.

But this situation has occurred now. If it is not handled properly, it will instead dishearten those ministers in the court who originally supported my father but are now being used by him.
At this moment, someone outside reported: "The King of Wei has arrived!"

Taier is here?
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately looked towards the gate. Li Zhi silently took a few steps back and stood quietly at a position farther away from his father than before.

"Qingque, why are you here at this time?" Li Shimin said with a smile when he saw Li Tai slowly approaching.
"Father, I have obtained some things that are related to the Wu family. I will come to the palace immediately to report to you." Li Tai immediately presented the box in his hand.

Li Shimin was just worrying about not having evidence of the Wu family's crimes, when Li Tai brought it to him. This surprised him very much, and he immediately asked someone to take the box over: "What is it?"
"They are some letters," Li Tai said, then paused and added, "They are secret letters between Wu Yuanqing, the eldest son of the Wu family, and the Turks."

collaborating with the enemy?
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li Tai. He saw that Li Tai was staring at his father without blinking, and didn't even look at him.

Since it was evidence of a crime, it was natural that it should be handed over to him, the person in charge of the case, or to Wei Xiang. But his second brother actually handed it directly to his father.
If he had not gone to the palace to report, I am afraid he and Prime Minister Wei would still be kept in the dark.

Li Shimin didn't notice that his beloved Qingque had crossed the line, and he didn't care about it for the time being. At this moment, he was flipping through the letters in the box one by one, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
Because, although these letters were written in Turkic, it was obvious that the people Wu Yuanqing was communicating with were not Turks.

Some of these letters were about gossip, but most were complaints. They talked about how harsh his father was to him, how overbearing his teachers were to him, and how he wished his father would die immediately so that he could inherit the family business.

Li Tai understood Turkic characters, so as long as he read these letters, he would know that the writer was definitely not a Turk.
However, since this can serve as evidence in this case, it can only mean one thing: Qingque does not want the truth of this matter to come to light, and can only use treason to cover it up.

Li Shimin soon realized this and became furious.

Li Zhi, who was standing by, was also very curious as he watched the change in his father's expression, so he asked tentatively, "Father, can I have a look at this evidence?"
Li Shimin was angry, but he did not forget that Li Zhi was the person in charge of this matter, so he handed the box and the letter to Li Zhi: "Everything is here, you are responsible for the trial of this case and see what crime to charge them with! Damn it, damn it!"

Li Zhi quickly took the letter in his hand, and after reading it, he was secretly surprised.
He looked at Li Tai, and seeing that the latter was still indifferent, he felt a chill in his heart. At this moment, Li Tai glanced at him, which made him even more frightened.

Everyone knew that the prince liked to wear Hu clothes and use Hu rituals at home. Once he pretended to be dead and asked his servants to mourn him with Turkic funeral rites.

More importantly, the brothers had all learned the Turkish language and could naturally write it. The handwriting on the Turkish letter was clearly that of the prince.

So, are these "evidences" of Li Tai really the "evidence" they are looking for?

Although he tried the case with the mentality of not offending either side, as the chief judge, he was responsible for the trial and outcome of the case.
Even if he didn't want to offend the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, his father was still there and he couldn't get himself involved.

"Father, even if these letters are true... they may not be evidence that the Wu family is planning a rebellion."
After all, he had read it all, and it didn't mention anything else except the complaints that the prince often made.

Moreover, the Wu family was in Shanxi, and the prince was in Chang'an. I had never heard of any contact between the prince and the Wu family before. How come so many secret letters suddenly appeared? This was too coincidental!

Li Zhi looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai happened to look at him as well. He smiled at him and said, "Jiulang, combined with what the Heavenly Scroll said, aren't these the evidence of treason?"

Of course it must be, he created this evidence specifically for this matter, how could it not be?
Besides, even if someone questioned it, it should be Li Chengqian himself who questioned it, not Jiulang.
Of course, if the prince can explain it clearly.

Li Zhi's heart trembled, and at this time Tang Taizong also spoke: "Qingque, give these evidences to Jiulang first. If there is other evidence, you should give it to him as well. After all, he is the main judge of this case. I am tired, you can go down!"

Although Emperor Taizong of Tang was very angry when he saw the letter in which the crown prince complained, he was also rational.
The Crown Prince has been getting worse and worse lately, and he can just complain, but it is not certain that he can really conspire with Wu Yuanqing to do anything.

However, the words in the letter really made him angry...something about hoping to inherit the family business as soon as possible.
Is he hoping that he will die soon?
He remembered that Cheng Qian was very well-behaved and intelligent before he was seventeen. But why did he become like this after the Queen passed away?
Li Shimin was really tired.

The two sons obeyed and left the hall immediately. Only Li Shimin was left in the hall. He was just staring at the scroll in a trance. His mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to think or hear.

Tianjuan's inventory of Kangxi continued. But in his opinion, it didn't matter how much he knew about what would happen a thousand years later.
What’s important is, what can he do to make his son Cheng Qian become the young man full of vitality before he was seventeen years old.
Did he really do something wrong?

[As a father, Emperor Shunzhi did not choose to appoint a regent from the royal family like Dorgon did. Instead, he appointed four regents before his death and asked them to check and balance each other. ]

Hearing the word "father", Emperor Taizong of Tang immediately raised his head.

[These four ministers are Sony, Ebilun, Suksaha and Oboi. The reason for appointing these four people is that they are all at odds with Dorgon, and they are ministers in the upper three banners controlled by him, so they are relatively loyal. ]

Sony, Ebilun, Suksaha, and Oboi?
Silently repeating these four names, Shunzhi nodded secretly. If he was to entrust his son to someone else, these four ministers were indeed the best choices. Not only were they born in the upper three banners, but they also suffered a lot of grievances during the Dorgon period. So they would definitely not let the Dorgon incident happen again.

[However, Shunzhi's idea was good and the arrangement was relatively appropriate, but he overlooked one problem, that is, although these four people restrained each other, they also had different abilities, so his idea was not well implemented. ]

[First, Sony, because Sony was a veteran of three dynasties during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and his health was already very poor. Although he was the chief minister of the four ministers, he was completely powerless. He was unable to coordinate and lead the four.]

Thinking about Sony's age, Shunzhi understood and immediately sighed softly.

Suo Xiang helped Dorgon a lot when he was in power. He not only opposed Dorgon's succession to the throne, but also strongly supported him. Later, he repeatedly opposed Dorgon. For this, he offended Dorgon and was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum. He was recalled only after he took power.

It was indeed his negligence. Suo Xiang was already over 60 years old this year. He had damaged his health from guarding the imperial mausoleum and often took sick leave. If he really passed away, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to assist the young master.

[The second is Suksaha, who was originally Dorgon's man. After Dorgon's death, he exposed his true colors. In the eyes of others, this was equivalent to "selling out for fame and fortune", so he was despised by a large number of officials in the court. ]

[In addition, the historical contradictions between the two yellow flags and the two white flags made it rejected by the other three, so it could not convince the other three. ]

Suksaha? His popularity was not very good, but he was the leader of the Plain White Banner, and because of the Dorgon incident, he was disliked by the other banners. Naturally, he could only rely on him and the royal family.
It was natural for him to choose him to take care of his son.

[As for Ebilun, he was brave but not wise, and always depended on Oboi, which made Oboi stand out among the four. ]

Ebilun and Oboi?
Shunzhi thought about it... Indeed, the relationship between the two was indeed good. After all, they were both military generals, and Oboi was the number one Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, so it was normal for Ebilun to admire him.

But forget about personal relationships. If this kind of relationship were to be placed in the court, it would not be a good thing for their royal family.
After all, he wanted the four of them to check and balance each other.

【The situation became even worse afterwards. With the death of Sony and the killing of Suksaha, Oboi's power naturally reached its peak, and at the same time, his conflict with Emperor Kangxi was completely intensified.】Sony died, and Suksaha was also killed?
Shunzhi was shocked.

If that happened, the balance between the four of them would be completely broken, and it could even be said to be worse than when he was there.
Isn’t this Oboi another Dorgon?
Moreover, Dorgon still had his mother to help him appease, so who could help Xuanye to curb Oboi at that time?
Unexpectedly, no matter how much he planned, he still couldn't predict the unpredictable world.

[Finally, in the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the young Emperor Kangxi "captured Oboi with wisdom" and took power into his own hands. Thus, the era of the "Four Regents" in the early years of the reign of Emperor Kangxi officially came to an end.]

[I won’t go into the details of how he captured the emperor, as everyone basically knows about it. I can only say that although Kangxi was in power, he was still in a precarious situation at the time.]

Indeed, the process is no longer important.
The fact is that his son has taken power back.
As for the future, the question is how he will be the emperor.

Shunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has not owed his son anything at this time, he does not know whether he will have to face this experience again in the future.
He hoped that it would not happen, that he could change, that the Qing Dynasty could change, and then hand over a stable Qing Dynasty to future generations.

Kangxi also looked at the Tianjuan, and the various situations of capturing Oboi emerged in his mind again. But just as Tianjuan said, capturing Oboi was not the end, it was a beginning.

[There were undercurrents in the court, and the first thing he did when he took power was to prepare to withdraw the feudal fiefdoms after stabilizing the court.]

[Yes, there were princes in the Qing Dynasty, but the princes here were different from those in the Ming Dynasty. They were not royal relatives, but princes of different surnames. To be precise, the princes that Kangxi wanted to remove were several Han generals who surrendered to the Qing court in the late Ming Dynasty.]

[Among them, the most famous one is Wu Sangui! ]

Wu Sangui? King of Pingxi?
Kangxi's eyes dimmed slightly. This was something he had already done. Although successful, it was full of crises. He didn't know when he would be able to take stock of what he was about to do.

But when he thought of this, he changed his mind.
Although the Heavenly Scroll has not yet taken inventory, he can ask his descendants, and he is afraid that they will tell him in more detail.

Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to have a private chat with Qianlong. Compared with the taciturn Yinzhen, he felt that Qianlong, his grandson, was more to his liking.
However, when he was about to click on the private chat button, he saw that someone had already sent him a private message in advance. It was his father, Emperor Shunzhi.

Just now when he was sending out the "vaccination" secret book in the Imperial Garden, he sent another copy of the secret book to his father, for fear that his father had not received it.
The emperor did not reply to him at that time. Could it be that he just saw it now and replied to him?
However, when he opened the scroll, he saw that his father had only sent him one sentence:
[Xuanye, you have worked hard these years. I apologize to you on behalf of your father at that time.]

When Kangxi heard that his father from another time and space actually apologized to him, somehow his eyes became moist like a child's.

After a long time, he replied in the scroll:
[My son is not tired. For the Qing Dynasty, for the will of my father, and for the people, my son dare not say that he has worked hard! ]

After seeing Kangxi's reply, Shunzhi stopped answering and just looked at the line of words on the scroll in silence for a long time.
The same thing happened to Kangxi, who could not calm down for a long time.

It was at this moment that the last bit of resentment he felt towards his father disappeared.
The young emperors spanning two generations reached a reconciliation on the Heavenly Scroll at this moment!
[Okay, this is the end of this episode. Next time we will review the last episode of "Lucky Ox", specifically reviewing the various achievements of Emperor Kangxi.]

[Emperor Kangxi was indeed an extremely capable emperor among the feudal emperors of China, and he was comparable to Emperor Taizong of Tang.]

[However, unfortunately, given the limitations of being an emperor, I have mentioned this before when replying to comments. Emperor Kangxi was also short-sighted at times. However, his merits are not outweighed by his flaws. These shortcomings cannot cover up his achievements.]

Can he be compared to Emperor Taizong of Tang?
Qianlong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. His grandfather was naturally a great emperor, so he took him as an example in everything.

But what about their descendants?
Qianlong frowned.

So far, no emperor of the Qing Dynasty after him has been seen in the comments, the Imperial Garden, or the barrage. Could it be that they were really too ashamed to show up?

Were the emperors after the Qing Dynasty really that bad?

[Now, the inventory time is over and we are entering the lucky draw phase. Are you ready...?]

After all, it was not the first time, and the lottery went very smoothly. However, the person who was drawn in the end was something that no one expected.
Because this time it was Zhu Yuanzhang who won the prize again.

Yes, it was the first message he sent last time that made him selected.
This makes people recall the wrong message he left.

Just now, because Kangxi posted the secret recipe of "cowpox" cultivation in the group, the Imperial Garden was quiet for a while. All the emperors were not busy with other things, but hurried to let the clerks copy it. No one even posted any barrage.
Now, most emperors have finished copying the secret books and have time to pay attention to the Heavenly Scroll, but they did not expect that the Heavenly Scroll has reached its final stage.
However, when some people saw the names drawn in the lottery, they were very angry.
【V@十全老人绘怪: The old lady is really generous. She should have removed the invalid messages when she was drawing the lottery. She wasted everyone's chance to win a prize.】

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

[@子控凶残老父: I was chosen twice, what can you do about it! I just have this luck, if you have the ability, you will also be chosen twice! ]

【V@十全老人涂怪: I was chosen twice! That's amazing, but it seems like something is missing? Oh, our names are different colors. Is my color pretty? Oh, I seem to have one more "crown" than you! What's going on?】

Speaking of which, the V in front of the name does look like a hat. Moreover, the black characters in Zhu Yuanzhang's ID name look a bit gray compared to the colorful characters in Qianlong's ID name!
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was almost vomiting. So he said angrily:
【@子控凶残老父: Since your grandfather gave me the secret book, I won't bother with you! 】

Kangxi, who is only in his twenties: ...

Qianlong realized that he had hit Zhu Yuanzhang's sore spot:
【V@十全老人涂怪: Haha, it’s no use using my great grandfather as a shield, there’s nothing there. 】

Kangxi: ...My dear grandson, please take a good look. It seems that I don’t have any either.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped moving and fell silent.
Thinking that he was so ashamed that he dared not show up, Qianlong finally let out a sigh of relief.

It was a big deal that there were so many children and grandchildren in the imperial garden, but he couldn't stand it. Although he was young, in terms of age, the emperors in the imperial garden might not be as old as him.

He was already over 60, and Emperor Wu of Han was probably only 17 or 18. He remembered that Emperor Wu of Han had asked him questions at the beginning, but they were all questions before he took power.
Didn’t you ask about Fenglangjuxu before?
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly appeared again. Not only that, his ID name also changed dramatically.

[V@The cruel old father who controls his son: Graffiti monster, I will show you what real strength is! ]

At the same time, the voice of the Grandmother was heard again in the Heavenly Scroll:
[Congratulations to @子控凶残老父 for winning the V user qualification. I finally won the lottery. Old father, please don’t report our live broadcast room again! ]

Yes, this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally won the qualification of "Wei user".

That is, at the moment he won the lottery, he thanked his ancestors for more than 18 generations in his heart, thanking them for blessing him to get the user qualification he had always dreamed of. He felt happier than the day he ascended the throne.

And the next moment, he went to the Imperial Garden to leave a message to slap the faces of those who laughed at him!

Sure enough, when his colorful ID was displayed in the Imperial Garden, Qianlong immediately fell silent. In the end, it was Kangxi who came out to congratulate him:
[@All science tyrants live another 500 years: Congratulations! ]

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel embarrassed, and he quickly replied:
[@子控凶残老父: You will definitely win the lottery next time. ]

[@All science masters live another 500 years: Thank you very much, I will borrow your good words! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling very proud when he suddenly heard the old lady say:
[Okay, now we are entering the question and answer phase. Let me see what questions everyone has asked me today.]

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed.
Oops, he was so happy that he forgot to ask the question!
