Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 320 Not inferior to any emperor
"The third rebellion was the Yingzhou Rebellion, which happened in May of the first year of Long Live Tongtian!"

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Wu Zetian, whose expression was getting worse, "This time, the Central Army will not be able to follow."

"The first suppression, the army was defeated because of an ambush by mistake, and the general Wang Xiaojie was killed in battle!"

"It was not until June of the following year that 20 troops were sent to suppress the Yingzhou rebellion."

"In this war, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured on both sides, greatly depleting the national power of the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the emptiness of the northern border, which was taken advantage of by the Turks and Tubo, and lost a large piece of land north of the Great Wall."

"The four towns of Anxi were also forced to give up!"

Li Shimin couldn't sit still when he heard that "Anxi Four Towns" was forced to give up.

Is this still the Tang Dynasty who has been defeated and won repeatedly, coercing all directions?
When did you get so frustrated?

Being hit directly by the enemy and losing so much land?

He felt his blood pressure soar all of a sudden.

"the fourth time…"

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Wu Zetian's cold voice, "Okay, don't you just want to scold me? I know that my ability is indeed not as good as Taizong, Gaozong..."

"But at least I have not subjugated the country, at least I have proved that women can be emperors, haven't they?"

"The Great Zhou under my rule has also shown a lot of prosperity, hasn't it!"

"Why do you always stare at my blemishes, why can't you talk about my contribution!"

When saying this...

She almost yelled it out, her emotions were extremely agitated, and she was a little pitiful, but the emperors would never have any sympathy.

Especially Li Shimin...

He looked at Wu Zetian coldly, "Even if your achievements are brilliant, you can't cover up your cruelty and ruthlessness. In order to secure the throne, you will do whatever you can to damage the country, cause the innocent people to be affected by war!"

"It is true that someone may pity you, but who will pity those innocent people!"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but fell silent with such loud words.

Now is the first year of Jiushi...

She is 76 years old this year, and she is already old and fading. She is an old woman who cannot grow old.

Five years later…

She will die!
Seeing Wu Zetian fell silent, everyone looked at the light curtain again.

So did Wu Zetian herself.

I want to know how Xianjia will evaluate her life.

[Politically, shortly after being established as a queen, the Guanlong conservative group forces such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were expelled from the imperial court, which created a good condition for social progress and economic development, and ended their century-long privileged position]

Everyone else is fine...

Li Shimin looked directly at Li Zhi, "You won't tell me, this is what you authorized to do, Zhi'er!"

He didn't believe that his son would be ostracized by the queen.

If this was the case, he would have been abolished by Wu Zetian long ago.

Hearing this, after struggling briefly, Li Zhi met his father's gaze, nodded and said, "Yes, father."

Before Li Shimin asked the reason, Li Zhi replied: "Uncle, as the Minister of Tuogu, has become increasingly powerful, and my authority as the emperor has been challenged."

"My uncle offended Meiniang about the abolition of the empress, so Meiniang also wants to get rid of her uncle and install her own cronies to strengthen her power."

"so…"

Li Zhi lowered his head slowly, as if he was embarrassed to say any more.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "So, you unite with the people next to you to deal with your uncle? After establishing your absolute authority, let your queen control the government?!"

Li Zhi nodded...

Li Shimin asked again: "Then what is Wuji's final outcome? Enjoying his old age or dying in depression?"

he thinks…

No matter how cruel Li Zhi was, he probably wouldn't be cruel to his uncle.

After all, this is my uncle!
嗏

"Uncle was deposed and exiled on the charge of 'conspiracy', and hanged himself three months later!"

Li Zhi spoke calmly, as if he was telling a very ordinary thing.

"you…"

Li Shimin blushed in anger, his eyes cracked, he pointed at Li Zhi and trembled, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

Then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Li Shimin was directly stunned.

This shocked the emperors present.

They looked at Li Zhi as if they were meeting him for the first time.

Li Zhi, who seems harmless to humans and animals, is the real ruthless person.

They don't believe that Changsun Wuji hanged himself to death voluntarily.

That is to say...

Li Zhi forced his uncle to death, but he remained indifferent.

No wonder there is such a vicious queen, Li Zhi is the one who dares to love.

[In order to better search for talents, dispatch emissaries to search for talents across the country, the emperor personally examines the talents sent by the school, and the outstanding ones will be entrusted with important positions regardless of qualifications.

[At the same time, officials and common people are allowed to self-recommend, further develop the village tribute system, increase the number of subjects and the number of admissions, create the palace examination for the first time, set up military examinations for the first time, and expand the scope of official selection]

[Through a series of methods, although some of the selected talents are fake, but at the same time, many talented people are also obtained, such as the virtuous minister Yao Chong, Song Jing, the virtuous minister Di Renjie, etc.]

"Finally it's not about her bad governance anymore, yes, after all, she is the meritorious emperor who was chosen by the Xian family, how could she not have real talents and lessons learned."

All the emperors thought so in their hearts.

Naturally, they didn't want to keep hearing about Wu Zetian's negative deeds.

After all, he was chosen by the Xian family. If he was stupid and cruel, wouldn't it make the content of the light curtain lose its credibility.

"He has a bit of a brain, and he is indeed a good player in politics."

see here...

Li Shimin nodded, "No wonder Zhi'er is so obsessed with you, desperate to make you a queen!"

He recognized Wu Zetian's ability.

This made Wu Zetian look better.

"Speaking of which, Li Longji is lucky, his grandma still left some talents for her!"

Yang Guang said a little sourly, why didn't his father leave him a few ministers to support Gu?

"Hmph, even if I leave you a good minister, you have to know how to handle them well. Do you think you can do it?"

Yang Jian sneered when he heard the words, his disdain was self-evident.

[By revising the "Record of Surnames", it is stipulated that all officials of the fifth rank can be regarded as nobles, which improves the status of the bureaucrats of the common clan, breaks the boundary between the common people and the common people, and severely damages the old aristocratic families]

Seeing this policy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and even Yang Jian couldn't help but shine.

They feel that this policy is really good.

Allowing them to get more talents is conducive to creating a better atmosphere for selecting talents.

"But this policy is not perfect, there is no end to the powerful family!"

Zhao Kuangyin poured cold water on it again at this time, "When the old nobles fall, new nobles will be born."

"With the disappearance of the elite, other parties of interest will emerge."

at this point!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been watching the excitement, agreed very much.

Emperor Kangxi also nodded, it is indeed the case.

But it does not hinder the benefits of this policy.

[Inheriting the policy of rectifying the administration of officials and severely punishing corruption during the Zhenguan period, all corrupt people will be severely punished regardless of their official position, and virtuous talents will be promoted exceptionally]

[The empress attaches great importance to ministers who are upright and upright, and entrusts them with important responsibilities, and places copper scorpions in the court, encourages the people to write letters to speak out, open up their voices, accept advice with an open mind, and do not offend others with advice]

[Thus, it effectively corrected the bad governance of the country and brought clarity to the political situation]
