All the people answer the question: an exam, the emperors all cried

Chapter 66 I don't know how to enjoy!
"At that time, the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties were planning to compete for territory almost every day, and they didn't manage to draw the boundaries of the country. I'm afraid even the emperors themselves didn't know how big their country was."

Ye Chen saw that the broadcast had reached the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, so he couldn't help but say a word.

The emperors also found it funny when they heard this. They didn't know the size of their country. How was this different from a foolish king?

As for the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, some did not speak, because they knew the size of their country clearly, while some lowered their heads, that is, those emperors who did not know the size of their country.

After Ye Chen said this, he stopped talking, and stood aside to take the opportunity to be lazy.

"What the examiner said just now also surprised me. It seems that the emperors in the Northern and Southern Dynasties had constant disputes, and fighting was commonplace. A small battle every three days and a big war every five days."

"That's right, warmonger. In the end, I can't count how many territories I have, and I don't know whether to admire or admire."

When the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties heard these discussions, especially the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they all looked angrily at the two who had just spoken. The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were naturally violent, so they generally did not force them if they could.

The two emperors who just talked could not help but shudder when they saw a group of ferocious Northern Wei emperors looking at them fiercely. Their mouths were immediately shut tightly. It was really scary. A group of big men stared at you. Can you not be scared? What's more, they are still two thin-looking emperors.

At this time, the screen of the video was broadcast to the territory of the Southern Dynasties.

In terms of the territory of the Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty inherited the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was basically located in 22 prefectures. However, at the end of Chen Dynasty, the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty reduced the territory of the country, leaving only the area south of the Yangtze River to Jiaoguang.

The screen turned to the territory of the Northern Dynasty again.

The Northern Wei Dynasty rose from the land of Daibei, and ended the period of Sixteen Kingdoms by unifying North China in 439. It repeatedly invaded Liu Song, occupied Shandong, Henan, and Huaibei, and took the southern Qihuai land of the Southern Dynasty and Liang Hanzhong and Jiange area of ​​the Southern Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it began to rectify the planning of the political area, abolishing the three states, 150 three counties and 580 nine counties. Finally, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and took the land of Chenjianghuai in the Southern Dynasty, greatly expanding the territory.

........................

"The Northern and Southern Dynasties period can be regarded as a period of great division in Chinese history. The sixteen kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty. It was a relatively chaotic era. It has been in war all the year round, the political power and territory are changing at a very fast speed, coupled with the migration and occupation of other ethnic minorities, there is no definite data for the statistics of its territory."

Ye Chen saw that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were about to finish playing in the video, and finally concluded.

After hearing the words, the emperors below also understood why this period was so jumpy, and the territory was also not counted, that is, the change of hands was too fast, so it was too late to count.

The emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties saw Ye Chen's final conclusion, but they also talked about the truth, and there was nothing to refute.

At this time, an emperor of the Southern Dynasty didn't think so in his heart, that is Liu Yu, but he felt that he was born in the wrong era. If not, it would definitely be a different scene. The offspring, logically speaking, can be regarded as relatives of the emperor, and they were already under the Sima family when they were born. Because his mother died of illness when he was just born, his father once wanted to abandon him.

Fortunately, at this time, according to Liu Huaijing's mother extended a helping hand to him and supported him. Because his family was poor, Liu Yu was discriminated against by his neighbors when he was a child. When he grew up, he could only do some farming, fishing, and wood cutting , but there is no unparalleled road, from the moment Liu Yu decided to join the army, his fate was changed.

Later, he began to control the government as he wished, and then wiped out Xishu, Lu Xun, Liu Yi, Sima Xiuzhi and other separatist forces internally, unified the south, and defeated Nanyan externally. He conquered the two ancient capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang. Finally, with the support of his ministers, Liu Yu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the country as Song Dynasty.

Liu Yu thought that if he hadn't been born in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in other dynasties, he might have won a wider world and made more brilliant achievements.

Of course, this was just what Liu Yu thought in his heart, and he didn't say these things out, and he knew that it would be useless to say too much. That's how it was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was impossible for him to go to other dynasties no matter how much he said.

At this time, the scenes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties gradually faded in the video, and slowly changed to another scene, that is, the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also coughed lightly, thinking that he could no longer be lazy and had to go to work.

The first scene is the picture during the reign of Gaozu Yang Jian.

"Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was very diligent and frugal in general. He was extremely rare among the emperors. He successfully unified the severely divided China. During his reign, he made great efforts to reform and develop for several years. enhance."

"After he unified the country, he ushered in a short but glorious era. First, the Han officials who changed their surname to Xianbei restored the Han surname, then abolished it, changed it to the five provinces system, and revised the "Kaihuang Law" so that all laws can be Shou."

"Here I want to mention something that Yang Jian did very well, that is, to learn from the lessons of the emperors of the past, he started from himself first, and stipulated that the old clothes worn by the harem should be worn after washing, and the things used for cars and sedan chairs should be worn again. Continue to use the broken ones, and in terms of diet, there is only one meat dish every day."

"In governing the country, there is also a great way of frugality, saving and eliminating idleness, and making small ones big, reducing the number of officials, reducing the expenditure of official salaries, and disbanding unnecessary troops. The monarchs farm in peacetime and take turns on duty. Go out."

"He attached great importance to correcting unhealthy folk customs. Because Yang Jian was frugal and followed suit, he finally created a group of clean and honest officials, thus forming a relatively strong social atmosphere of anti-corruption and advocating honesty."

"On this point, you should really learn from others. If you lead by example, there will be so many corrupt officials. It's not because some candidates themselves have not done well, so the ministers have followed suit."

All the emperors were shocked when they heard that Sui Gaozu was too frugal. How could he bear it? There is only one meat dish a day. Thinking that they are the ninety-five supreme beings, they strive for excellence in basic necessities of life. You don't have to wear old clothes to skip meals.

Especially those young and stupid emperors couldn't understand it. They all felt that Yang Jian was stupid. He was an emperor, but he didn't know how to enjoy it.
