The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors
Chapter 96: Lucky Ox 14
Hey, isn’t this the name of the fan who often leaves comments in her videos?
That fan is playing the role of Qin Shi Huang. Could it be that this doll is a model of Qin Shi Huang?
Thinking of this, she flipped through a few more pages, and indeed found names such as the cruel old father who was obsessed with his children, the Pig Man who wanted to build a golden house, the exhausted first generation, and so on.
Only then did she realize that almost all the names of people in the Imperial Garden were here, even a few names of people who were not in the Imperial Garden.
She immediately looked at the shipping address and found it was blank. The phone number she left was also invalid, which surprised her very much.
After thinking for a long time, she felt that it must have been made by a fan and given to her.
This made her feel very moved, and the more she looked at these dolls, the cuter they became.
Suddenly she had an idea. Wouldn't it be more interesting if these little figures could be used as avatars of the emperors in the Imperial Garden?
Thinking of this, she no longer bothered to watch the video playing, but immediately arranged the little figures and started taking pictures with the camera.
She decided to send the photos of the dolls to the group and let them take them home and change their profile pictures.
Or maybe she could just give them out as prizes next time, and if someone won one in the raffle, she could mail it to them.
She was busy taking photos, and the Tianjuan also entered the normal inventory time. But Li Shimin had no time to look at the Tianjuan because the situation on his side had also reached a fever pitch.
Hearing his father scolding him, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "Father, what do you mean by this? Is it wrong for me to come to your rescue?"
"If you just came to save me, I would be very touched. But why did Cheng Qian rebel? Shouldn't you tell me in detail?"
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelids: "I don't understand what your Majesty means."
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin said coldly, "You first spread rumors in the court, saying that I wanted to raid the prince's house and depose the prince. Then you asked your followers who were lurking around Cheng Qian to instigate Cheng Qian to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel... Do you want me to continue?"
Li Tai's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know what your father meant."
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Li Shimin sighed softly.
"After Cheng Qian decided to rebel, you were no longer anxious and came only now. Are you waiting for Cheng Qian and I to both suffer losses so that you can reap the benefits?"
Li Tai looked up in shock at Li Shimin's words. Li Chengqian was stunned at first, then looked at Li Tai in anger: "Li Tai, you dare to harm me and my father. You are really ambitious!"
Li Zhi was also extremely shocked when he heard this. He finally understood why his father asked him to lead the Golden Armor Army to protect the emperor. It turned out that from that time on, his father had already known about his fourth brother's conspiracy.
Thinking of this, he had even more respect for his father.
Everyone knows that my father loves Li Tai. But even so, he can still calmly judge the situation and make arrangements calmly. My father is worthy of being my father, worthy of being the emperor of their Tang Dynasty.
At this time, hearing his father's questioning, Li Tai's face showed shock at first, and then the shock on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a kind of disdain.
"So what? Li Chengqian deserves death for treason. Even if someone tempted him, if he was respectful to his father, he would never have such thoughts.
On the contrary, he would have killed the man immediately and presented his head to his father. But he not only listened, but also did it. He deserves to die!"
Li Shimin did not expect Li Tai to say this. His face was full of shock, as if he had just met his fourth son.
"In addition, although the emperor is very good to Qingque, he is still reluctant to abandon my elder brother and give me the position of crown prince. This shows that although Qingque is the emperor's son, he is not a son who is worthy of handing over the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I do not accept it!"
Li Tai looked at Cheng Qian and said, "Li Cheng Qian is only a few years older than me, but he became the crown prince. But if he hadn't been born earlier, how could he compare to my son?
"I think back then, didn't my father think the same? Moreover, you often said that I was the son who was most like you. So, I did all this to emulate my father and for the sake of the eternal foundation of my Tang Dynasty!"
"Shut up, shut up!"
Li Shimin was furious and threw the inkstone on the table over. Li Tai didn't dodge and was hit by the inkstone. Although he was not injured, the ink stains his silver armor.
"Father, please don't be angry. I came here today just to ask you a question. Between Li Chengqian and my son, who do you value and love the most? Who is worthy of your trust in the country?"
After saying this, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin with a sharp gaze, and Li Chengqian stopped struggling and looked at Li Shimin at the same time. Even Li Zhi on the side looked at him. Everyone wanted to get his answer!
Looking at his sons' expectant eyes, Li Shimin sighed deeply: "Come here, take down Li Chengqian and Li Tai."
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of armored soldiers appeared from outside the door, rushed in and captured Li Tai as well.
Only then did Li Zhi realize that his father's golden-armored soldiers were not the only ones ambushing around the hall.
This made him feel even more horrified.
Although he was controlled, Li Tai was still not afraid. He looked at Li Shimin and asked again: "Father, you haven't answered your son yet."
"No?" Li Shimin stood up straight and looked down at him, "I think I have given you the answer!"
Li Tai was stunned at first, then his face changed drastically.
Then, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Take them away!"
"Father, I refuse to accept the defeat. I refuse to accept the defeat!" Although he was taken away by the soldiers, Li Tai was still shouting loudly in defiance, with the anger in his tone evident in his words.
"Since you don't want to pass the throne to me, why are you so good to me? Why! Why are you so good to me?"
After a long time, the soldiers in the hall retreated and the hall returned to peace.
Li Zhi waited for a while, and then realized that he had nothing to do here, so he handed the troop dispatch token in his hand to his father: "Father, this is the token. Now that the matter has been settled, I will go back."
Hearing his voice, Li Shimin came back to his senses. He looked at his last legitimate son and said, "Wait a moment, I have another person here, take him out with you."
"Take people out?" Li Zhi was stunned.
As Li Shimin finished speaking, a young eunuch flashed out from behind the pillar behind him. Li Zhi looked closely and found that it was Wu who had been kidnapped from prison before.
This surprised him even more: "Wasn't she kidnapped? Why is she here?"
"Your uncle sent her back."
"My uncle?"
Changsun Wuji?
"Why didn't my uncle mention it to me?"
Although Li Zhi's relationship with his father was not as good as his other two brothers, he was still very close to this uncle. Moreover, Changsun Wuji was closer to him than to his other two nephews.
Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "Maybe it's too late!"
But...how did Wu find his uncle?
In the end what happened?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Shimin said to Wu Mei: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Yes!" Wu Mei bowed and said, "After I was kidnapped from prison, that person wanted to kill me. I managed to escape. After I escaped, I went to see Lord Changsun, and Lord Changsun sent me back to the palace."
Although Wu only said a few short sentences, the content and danger contained in them could not be covered by just these few words.
This made Li Zhi look at her again. She looked submissive, but her back was straight. For a moment, he was not sure what his father meant.
Take Wu away and take her out of the palace?
At this time, Li Shimin said: "That's why I concluded that Wu was definitely not saved by Cheng Qian, otherwise, the person who saved her would not want to kill her. Therefore, the person who saved her could only be the one who spread rumors in the court."
As for the person who spread the rumor, he found the source easily. Then he followed the clues and soon found the source at Cheng Qian's house, and got the news that Cheng Qian was going to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate tonight.
Li Zhi knew everything that happened afterwards.
Rather than saying that all the events tonight were meant to quell the rebellion, it would be more accurate to say that they were a test for his legitimate sons.
Now that the dust has settled, it is clear who is the pearl and who is the stone!
When Li Shimin said this, Li Zhi understood everything.
He immediately said, "Don't worry, Father. I will enforce the law impartially regarding the Wu family's rebellion and will never be partial to anyone!"
Li Shimin nodded: "It's good that you know, go down!"
Li Zhi took the order and immediately took Wu away. After that, he put her back in jail and continued to interrogate Wu's family for treason without mentioning it.
After watching him go down, Li Shimin sighed softly. At this time, the inventory of Emperor Kangxi in the Heavenly Scroll had been going on for quite a while.
[Okay everyone, we have finished answering the last message. Let’s continue with our review of Emperor Kangxi. Today is the last episode.]
【Speaking of Emperor Kangxi, we have to say that he was a great emperor. He reigned for 61 years, the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history. He was also an emperor who made positive contributions to the Qing Dynasty and the unification of China, and was called the greatest emperor of all time! 】
An ancient emperor?
Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Zhao Kuangyin all looked at the scroll, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. (Ahem… Emperor Taizong of Tang was suppressing the rebellion and couldn’t take care of it for the time being…)
Although the grandmother often mentioned the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous eras before, this was the first time she said these words.
Moreover, this title was actually given to a Manchu emperor?
Shouldn't he be like the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, brave in battle but careless in governing the country?
Did the master overestimate him?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned.
If Kangxi is called the greatest emperor of all time, then what is Zhu Yuanzhang?
The original gratitude for Kangxi's gift of the cowpox cultivation method turned into disdain at this moment.
Humph, although you were quite quick-witted in overthrowing Oboi, Old Zhu wants to see how you became the greatest emperor of all time!
[After he overthrew Oboi and took power, he first reduced the power of the feudal lords, put down Wu Sangui's rebellion, and then recovered Taiwan. Later, he conquered Galdan three times, expanding the territory of the Qing Dynasty to its largest.]
Zhu Yuanzhang: The largest territory? Is it bigger than my Ming Dynasty? I remember that only the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were bigger than my Ming Dynasty!
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang: My Great Tang is the country with the largest territory so far, and is the Qing Dynasty as big as my Tang Dynasty?
Kublai Khan: My Yuan Dynasty is number one, who dares to claim to be second?
So at this moment, all the places in the imperial garden began to compare their territories.
[@子控凶残老父: The territory of our Great Ming Dynasty has eight corners. It is east of Liaodong Dusi, northeast of Sanwanwei, west of Songpanwei in Sichuan, southwest of Jinchi in Yunnan, south of Yazhou in Guangdong, southeast of Zhangzhou Prefecture in Fujian, north of Taiping and Daningwei, northwest of Shaanxi and Gansu. It is 1900 miles long and 11,500 miles wide.]
It is roughly the area extending from the Liaodong Peninsula in the east to Songpan in the west, from the south of the desert in the north to Guangdong in the south.
With his start, other emperors also started to expand their own territories. [@装猪吃虎黑马王: The territory of our Great Tang Dynasty extends to Andong Prefecture in the east, Anxi Prefecture in the west, Rinnan County in the south, and Shanyu Prefecture in the north. The north and south are as prosperous as the Former Han Dynasty, but not as prosperous in the east, and more prosperous in the west. The Han territory extends to Lelang and Xuantu in the east, which are now Goryeo and Bohai. It is now in Liaodong, which is not Tang territory. The Han territory extends to Dunhuang County in the west, which is now Shazhou, which is Tang territory. And Qiuci is more prosperous in the west than the Han Dynasty. ]
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, after the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, its territory was similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty, with a land area of more than 12 million square kilometers, which can be said to be the largest territory. For this reason, the descendants of the Tang Dynasty are also proud of it.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang immediately expressed his support with great pride.
【V@虎头蛇尾李三郎: Grandfather destroyed Goguryeo, which was an unprecedented achievement. Grandfather was mighty. 】
When he heard that Goguryeo was destroyed by Emperor Gaozong, the person who was most surprised was Emperor Wen of Sui.
【@The exhausted first generation: Goguryeo was destroyed by you? 】
【@Playing Pig and Eating Tiger Black Horse King: It was just a coincidence. 】
[@The exhausted generation: You are so modest. I admire you! ]
Upon hearing that the Han Dynasty's final territory reached Dunhuang County in the west, Emperor Wu of Han was shocked at first, but also felt his heart pounding.
[@Pig Man Who Wants to Build a Golden House: How can the territory of our Great Han Dynasty reach Dunhuang County? I am ashamed that the territory of our Great Han Dynasty only inherits the territory of the pre-Qin Dynasty and has not expanded any further.]
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Emperor Wu of Han said, Wang Mang actually jumped out to support him.
【@不合时宜新青年: Before Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, after they defeated the Xiongnu, the territory of the Han Dynasty had reached its maximum under your rule. Emperor Wu expelled the Yue and repelled the Hu, and the territory expanded. During the reign of Emperor Aiping, there were 314 counties and 32 roads in the prefectures and states, and 13 governors were set up in the marquisates to govern them. They were Sili, Bing, Jing, Yan, Yu, Yang, Ji, Qing, Xu, Yi, and You. The territory of the Han Dynasty was 9,320 li from east to west and 12,368 li from north to south. 】
Seeing this territory, Liu Che was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't help asking:
[@Pig Man Who Wants to Build a Golden House: How could the territory of our Han Dynasty be so large in the future? May I ask where did you see this? ]
[@不合时宜新青年: I saw it from... ahem, don't worry about where I saw it. You just need to know that when you ruled, the territory of the Han Dynasty was already comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.]
When Qianlong saw that everyone was comparing territories, he immediately became excited.
【@十全老人涂怪: What do you mean by this? The easternmost part of our Great Qing territory is Sakhalin Island, which belongs to the three surnames; the westernmost part is Shule in Xinjiang to the Pamir Mountains; the northernmost part is the Greater Khingan Range; the southernmost part is Yashan in Qiongzhou, Guangdong. All of them are bowing to our homeland, and they are truly our dynasty. 】
His description attracted Kangxi:
【@全科学霸住再5百年: It is even bigger than when I was here, and even Hui tribe has been taken back. Good job, grandson. My territory at this time has not yet taken back Hui tribe. You are indeed my good grandson. 】
[@十全老人绘怪: Grandfather, you are so kind! Actually, the largest dynasty was the Yuan Dynasty, but...]
However, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty does not seem to be in the group, ignore it!
The Imperial Garden compares the territorial boundaries of various dynasties, while the Heavenly Scroll continues to review the achievements of Kangxi.
[In terms of civil administration, Emperor Kangxi signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk to clearly define the border with Russia, and also held the "Duolun Conference" to negotiate with Mongolian nobles in the form of talks, thus avoiding many unnecessary wars.]
[As for the people, he worked hard to develop the economy, stopped the nobles from enclosing land, reduced taxes and opened warehouses to release grain during years of famine. He also dredged the canal and supervised river affairs, doing many good things that benefited the country and the people.]
[Not only that, starting from the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the domestic finances were in a tight situation due to a large number of conquests. However, even so, Kangxi was able to govern the country in a well-planned and methodical manner, and his ability was second to none among all the emperors.]
[It can be said that if Qin Shihuang had half the ability to govern the country as Kangxi, his Qin Dynasty would never have perished so quickly. ]
Seeing that various dynasties were competing with each other for their own territories, Qin Shi Huang certainly would not get involved with them. After all, everyone's territory was expanded on his basis. He was building from scratch, so why would he bother with the younger generations?
However, his silence did not mean he had no temper. At this moment, he heard Tian Juan complain about his inability to govern the country. How could he tolerate this? He immediately posted a barrage.
【V@一统六合万寿無疆祖龙皇: Oh? I want to see what ability this Kangxi has to be the greatest emperor of all time. 】
This barrage was so sour that it could burn a hole in the sky. After all, he was the Emperor Zulong, and no one dared to raise objections. Even Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
Although he was not convinced by Kangxi, he knew that this was not the time to speak. However, if someone spoke up, he would be happy to watch the show. At worst, he would speak up and take sides. He had done this a lot when he was young.
Sure enough, someone spoke up, and it was the most talkative Qianlong. His great grandfather was one of the emperors he admired the most, so how could he not speak up when someone provoked his great grandfather? So he also posted a barrage.
[@十全老人涂怪: My great grandfather is amazing. At least the territory of my Qing dynasty is larger than your Qin dynasty, and it didn’t perish in the second generation! ]
Qin Shi Huang felt a surge of blood rushing to his head...
You bastard, you bastard! How dare you talk to our ancestor like this? Our ancestor will pacify the Xiongnu and cut off the roots of your Aixinjueluo family in our Great Qin! Humph!
Kangxi was the calmest and quickly apologized:
【@全科霸再活5百年: Qin Shi Huang, please don't blame me. My grandson only wanted to protect me. I apologize to you. 】
No matter what, he would not lose out by apologizing to an ancestor who lived almost two thousand years ago.
Qin Shi Huang decided not to pay any more attention to these juniors. He heavily sent the word "humph" on the barrage and said nothing more.
At this time, Tian Juan continued to say:
[In short, although Kangxi also had the limitations of a feudal emperor, he was indeed a good emperor. During his reign, the living standards of the people reached an unprecedented height.]
[Next, we will focus on three major events during his reign. The first one was the suppression of the Three Feudatories.]
Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips.
Princes? Last time when I made a preview, I also said that it would be about the pacification of the Three Feudatories. However, princes existed in many dynasties, and it was not unusual to pacify them. How did it reach the level of the greatest emperor in history?
[We have said before that the Three Feudatories of the Qing Dynasty were not like the Nine Princes of the Frontiers, or Nine Great Fortress Kings, set up by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty to guard the borders of the Ming Dynasty.]
Zhu Yuanzhang: Oh, did Tianjuan mention that before? Why don't I remember it?
[These nine great frontier kings were originally the nine sons of Zhu Yuanzhang who helped the Ming Dynasty guard the frontiers. They have strong blood ties. And these vassal kings were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at least at the beginning. ]
【And looking back at history, I don’t know whether Zhu Yuanzhang did it intentionally or unintentionally. Even though the Prince of Yan launched the Jingnan Campaign and seized the throne from his nephew, he still continued the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty and the throne was not usurped by another family. 】
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He had not thought of this. He only thought that his descendants would guard the border of his country, while the emperor would guard the capital and be responsible for dispatching.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. No matter which vassal king becomes powerful, it is impossible for him not to have the surname Zhu, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to become something else. Just like the Eastern Han Dynasty inherited the bloodline of the Western Han Dynasty, isn't it also the Han Dynasty?
Therefore, even if the descendants of the Zhu family usurped the throne, it would still be the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family...
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that it was too dangerous to think about this topic any further, so he decided to stop there.
[As for other dynasties, such as the Song Dynasty, there were also vassal kings of different surnames, but these vassal kings of different surnames had made great military achievements when Zhao Kuangyin was conquering the world. ]
[But even so, Zhao Kuangyin later gave up his military power with a toast, and these princes of different surnames handed over their military power one by one and became idle princes.]
Zhao Kuangyin: I won't even compare territories with them, Tianjuan, you still have to pick me out and talk about me separately, right? I have discovered that you are prejudiced against me, and it's not just a little bit!
[But the Three Feudatories were different. The three princes of the Three Feudatories surrendered to the Qing Dynasty when they attacked the Southern Ming Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass.]
[To be precise, from the very beginning, these three princes were not on the same page with the Qing Dynasty. If we really want to make an analogy, they are equivalent to the separatist military governors in the Tang Dynasty.]
Emperor Taizong of Tang, who had already suppressed the rebellion of the crown prince, said: Military governors of vassal states? I remember Tianjuan said that these officials don't seem to be a big deal in my place.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang: Military governors, military governors? An Lushan's rebellion? I understand. This kind of situation has also occurred in later generations. It seems that I need to listen carefully.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang: Jiedushi, vassal states? It seems that the foundation of our Tang Dynasty will soon be shaken. We really need to think of a way to prevent it from happening!
【After Shunzhi and Kangxi, two young emperors, ascended the throne, and Shunzhi died young, the minds of the three feudal lords also changed. From being submissive before, they became restless again.】
[Therefore, after Kangxi finally took over the government after defeating Oboi, eliminating the Three Feudatories became the top priority for the Qing Dynasty to stabilize its government.]
