Daqin storyteller, starting with an inventory of the top ten emperors

"Internal worries?"

Bai Su raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"To be honest, Mr. Bai Su, since you know the stories of other countries."

"I must know a country before Tang Dynasty."

Bai Su nodded, and slowly uttered a word: "Sui."

"That's right, it was the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Kingdom prospered, but it died in the second generation."

"On the one hand, it was because Emperor Yangdi extorted violently, oppressed the people, and didn't care about people's livelihood, which led to riots everywhere."

"On the other hand, the aristocratic family worked their hands up and down to promote it secretly, which led to the collapse of the Sui Kingdom's army and the collapse of its foundation."

Bai Su said: "It is undeniable that Emperor Sui Yang is a hero, but he is too ambitious."

"He is ambitious and wants to use one generation to complete the work of several generations."

"This is naturally impossible. This ruined the Sui Kingdom's foundation, and the second generation died."

"As for the aristocratic family, they have always been hiding behind the dynasty, manipulating the general trend of the world from the shadows and influencing the direction of the world."

"The aristocratic family seldom stand on the stage to fight on their own. They will choose an investor and let him charge forward on behalf of the aristocratic family."

"Also, they're used to betting on the long side, never putting all their eggs in one basket."

"Even if you fail, what you pay is only a family, at most a line of people, and you will never pay the lives of a whole family."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Exactly."

"When the Tang Kingdom was established, there was the shadow of the family behind it."

"In return, the current aristocratic family occupies a high position in the Tang Kingdom."

"But they are too greedy, insatiable, and want too much."

"It is bound to affect the national economy and the people's livelihood, and it will hurt the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

"The internal worries of the Tang Dynasty are these aristocratic families."

"They dominate the court, compete for fame and fortune, and gather fame for themselves."

"Secretly searched for the people and did many unruly things."

"Even, for your own benefit, you can collude with other races, just because they are aristocratic families."

"I'm worried that if the war between Datang and the foreign race resumes, they will betray Datang."

"Don't worry." Bai Su paused for a moment, "With the urination of the aristocratic family, it will definitely."

Speaking of it, the situation of the Tang Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty are a bit similar.

In the later Tang Dynasty, the royal power was constrained by veteran officials.

Tang Guo is the aristocratic family secretly poking trouble.

All pose a threat to the supreme imperial power.

As for Qin and Han, there is no such problem.

Qin Shihuang ruled the world. Long before him, the backbone of the old clan was interrupted by successive Qin emperors.

King Huiwen, that is really ruthless.

In order to clear the constraints of the old clan, anyone can be killed.

However, it is precisely because of this that the descendants of King Qin can do whatever they want without being restrained.

At the beginning of Yingzheng's succession to the throne, there were also Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and Zhao Ji, but he got rid of them all.

Naturally, no one in Qin could restrain the imperial power.

As for Han, it's even simpler.

The three emperors, Wen, Jing and Wu, became meaner and less kind from generation to generation, and they liked to play with the emperor's mind from generation to generation.

Emperor Wen tamed the veteran hero who conquered the world with Liu Bang.

Emperor Jing conquered the princes and kings, and suppressed Zhou Yafu, who was a master of merit and pride.

Emperor Wu Tweeted the order to cut down the vassals and completely abolish the vassal states.

So far, in the entire Han Kingdom, there is no longer anything that can limit the royal power.

The reason for the difference in the later Tang Dynasty is that the heroine of the later Tang Dynasty came to the court, and the new succession was not long ago, she was too young and lacked majesty.

As for the Tang State, it is mainly because the family has been passed down for too long and has strong strength.

Moreover, the aristocratic family also contributed to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and they are heroes. It is still impossible to completely eradicate the influence of the aristocratic family.

After the successive kings, the power of the family will actually be weakened accordingly.

Thinking about it, Bai Su suddenly frowned and looked at Lao Li.

"No, Lao Li, I said you don't have Li Shimin's life, but you have Li Shimin's heart."

"What do you care about him? No matter how powerful the aristocratic family is, it's none of your business. You can make Li Shimin a headache."

Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "I'm still considered a relative of the emperor."

"Although he is a bit far away from His Majesty today, he is still a serious member of the royal family."

"If the royal power falls and the family succeeds, our life will be difficult."

"Don't think too much about it."

"Besides, His Majesty is having a headache for the aristocratic family now."

"If I can offer good advice to His Majesty, maybe I will be appreciated by His Majesty, and I will reach the sky in one step."

"Maybe, if His Majesty is happy, you can even be rewarded with a title. Isn't that really rich?"

"Okay, old Li, it turns out that you still have such small thoughts."

Bai Su nodded to Lao Li, and suddenly said: "There are ways to deal with the aristocratic family."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately came over.

"Expand and talk?"

"The reason why the aristocratic family is difficult to deal with is because their reputation among the people is too high."

"They do many things in secret, they are clean on the surface, and they even donate porridge for disaster relief."

"You said, can the common people not love them?"

"Just tear off their hypocritical faces and let the people know how bloody and sinful their hands are."

"They will definitely lose popular support, and it will be easier to move them when the time comes."

Li Shimin frowned, "This kind of thing should be recorded in the account book, but it must be hidden very deep, so it's hard to find."

"It depends on the ability. You have to find something that they can't refuse before they can hand over the ledger."

"Or, just dig three feet and find the ledger. There are only two options."

"Tsk."

It's hard to say.

Li Shimin frowned and thought, these two aspects, no matter which one is not easy to start with.

"Of course, someone should be sent to monitor them. If the previous crime cannot be obtained, at least the new crime must be obtained."

Li Shimin nodded, that's what he meant.

"Apart from that, it is to shake their foundation in the court."

"It's easy to say, just hold the imperial examination."

"Tang Guo should be doing it now."

Li Shimin nodded, "That's right. But even though the Tang State opened the imperial examination, most of the scholars admitted are from aristocratic families."

"This point cannot be changed in a short time."

Bai Su said: "This will involve the cultural level."

Li Shimin's eyes brightened, "What do you mean, Mr. Bai Su, do you have a solution?"

Bai Su nodded, "Naturally."

"After that, I will give you something. After you have seen it, you will understand how powerful that thing is."

"The reason why the family's children can go to high school is not how smart they are, but because they have a lot of background."

"They have enough books to read and teachers to impart knowledge."

"If the poor family's children and ordinary people stand on the same starting line as the family's children, they may not be worse than them."

"Things like that will allow them to stand on the same starting line."

"it is good!"

Li Shimin was very excited, "Then I'm looking forward to the good news from Mr. Bai Su!"
