Inventory of the top ten emperors and prosperity, the top of the list is stunned Yingzheng

[No one is perfect, an emperor has supreme power, but Li Shimin can consciously restrain his own power and not use it indiscriminately, but later generations always seek perfection and blame. Isn't the demand too much? 】

[If you were in that position, would you be able to listen to other people's advice? 】

[Li Shimin absorbed the lessons of the Sui Dynasty and often said, "The king is a boat. The people are water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it." This is Xunzi's words, but among all the ancient emperors, only Li Shimin truly Experienced this. 】

【He also treats the people kindly from the heart. 】

[Compared to the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin abolished harsh punishments, with extremely light punishments, and never used torture, which was beyond the reach of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. 】

[He understands that even if the use of cruel officials can make the people fear for a while, the country will not be stable. 】

[Only by truly treating the people kindly, winning the hearts of the people, and the benevolent are invincible, this is the true meaning of peace in the world, long-term peace and stability, and people living and working in peace and contentment. 】

【Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty invented the imperial examination system, and Li Shimin improved it even more and promoted it with all his strength. Scholars had channels for promotion, and the imperial court had new means of selecting talents, breaking the monopoly of those powerful families. 】

[All the children from poor families study hard and serve the court. 】

[Datang is one of the few dynasties in ancient times that did not discriminate against business. 】

[Not only does it not discriminate, but it also uses various policies to encourage businessmen to do business.This shows that Li Shimin has advanced vision. 】

[And this is also one of the reasons why the prosperity of the Zhenguan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty reached the pinnacle of all prosperity! 】

[During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the monopoly of salt, iron, and tea was implemented by the imperial court, while during the period of Li Shimin, the state monopoly policy was abolished to benefit the common people. 】

[Does Li Shimin really not know the huge benefits of the imperial monopoly? 】

[As a descendant, how could it be possible not to know the means of governing the country during the Han Dynasty? 】

[But Li Shimin doesn't want to use this method to exploit the people. 】

[The taxes in the Tang Dynasty were extremely low, but the people were extremely rich. 】

[During the Sui Dynasty, in order to collect more taxes, the imperial court forced the common people to open more accounts.In the past, there were seven or eight members or even more than ten members in a family. They used to be one family, and they became one family, which is very normal. 】

[In the Sui Dynasty, as long as a young man started a family, he had to open another account. In this way, a family of seven or eight could be split into two or even three households, and two households could receive more money. 】

[The Sui Dynasty collected money by all means. 】

[And Li Shimin is very disdainful of this. 】

[In the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many common people and tenants took refuge in powerful families or rich families, and the imperial court did not investigate, so naturally a large part of taxes was lost. 】

[This has indeed lightened the burden on many common people. 】

[Li Shimin attaches great importance to the law. He pioneered the policy of repeated executions of the death penalty. There are five executions in the capital and three executions in other regions. All files of death row criminals will be handed over to Dali Temple for repeated verification before execution. 】

[This invention is unprecedented! 】

[It can be seen from this that Li Shimin attaches great importance to the lives of the people! 】

"Five plays in the capital, three plays in other regions?"

Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu and others all had twinkling eyes.

Everyone was shocked.

Li Shimin's invention is far behind them!
[It is precisely because Li Shimin is cautious and prudent about the death penalty, and all officials dare not slack off, so during the Zhenguan period, the number of executions was greatly reduced. 】

[In the fourth year of Zhenguan, there were only 29 prisoners sentenced to death nationwide. 】

[In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the number of death row prisoners increased to 290.At the end of the year, Li Shimin allowed them to go home to deal with funeral affairs, and they would die if they came back in the autumn of the seventh year of Zhenguan.In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhenguan, all 290 prisoners were returned, and none of them escaped. 】

[Throw it with a plum, and return it with a peach! 】

[The power of benevolence is finally revealed at this time! 】

[And now Li Shimin made another decision that shocked everyone! 】

[He exempted these 290 people from the death penalty, and all of them were acquitted! 】

[The death penalty itself is to punish evil and promote good, and those killed by them can no longer be resurrected.Now that they have realized their mistake, killing them will not help. 】

[But if you forgive them, they will be able to do more meaningful things! 】

"29 people?"

"290 people?"

"No one escaped? They all came back to die?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and other emperors all opened their mouths wide, feeling incredible.

They can't even imagine such a thing.

Both Ying Zheng and Emperor Wu couldn't help but smile wryly.

They kill an official's family at will, and there may be more than a few hundred or even a thousand people.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin had only 290 people on death row in one year.

And the least one year is only 29 people.

Even if it is the legendary fairyland, I am afraid that it cannot do this.

And Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang and others couldn't help sighing.

"Tang Taizong's talent is absolutely inferior to my Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang's massacre of the founding heroes, even in the Hongwu period, countless people were killed for no reason.

Later generations often say that Zhu Yuanzhang treats the common people kindly. His so-called kind treatment is not bad for the common people compared to officials.

But the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty was very harsh.

Once the people commit a crime, they are also punished severely, and the punishment is heavy for minor crimes, which is not like the lighter punishment in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the people of Ming Dynasty were also trembling.

Especially when Zhu Yuanzhang started to set up Jinyiwei, those spies framed them at will. Although they mainly targeted officials, the people were still inevitably implicated.

Zhu Di also lowered his head, with an ugly expression on his face.

In the battle of Jingnan, he killed ten clans of Fang Xiaoru.

There are thousands of people, far more than the number of executions in one year during Li Shimin's period.

"Tang Taizong is such a man, it is difficult to find one person in thousands of years!"

[In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and Hedong, and another plague of locusts occurred. 】

[Rumors spread all over the world, saying that it was Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate change, killing brothers and brothers, this is the punishment of the gods! 】

[Li Shimin issued an edict of guilt! 】

【Not only exempted from taxes in various places, the imperial court actively provided disaster relief, but also took out money from the treasury to help the hungry people redeem the sold children. 】

[Since ancient times, Ren Jun has never been able to reach the level of Li Shimin. 】

[Even the so-called Song Renzong, he was only a small favor to the people, but he didn't see his so-called benevolence at all when it comes to major events! 】

【He is the kindness of a woman! 】

[And Li Shimin really has the kindness of the world in his heart! 】

[Overcoming this difficulty, the Tang Dynasty began to prosper, the people gradually became rich, food and clothing were secure, and the national power gradually became stronger, showing a thriving situation everywhere. 】

[The Reign of Zhenguan has already seen a ray of light! 】

[In the third year of the Tang Dynasty, there was a strange scene of not picking up lost things on the road and not closing the door at night! 】

[Even the Datong world that was passed down in ancient times is nothing less than this! 】

[And this is only the third year of Li Shimin's accession to the throne! 】

[In the fall of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin and other monarchs saw that the Tang Dynasty had recovered significantly, and everyone immediately remembered the shame of the Weishui Alliance! 】
