I have a backstage in Datang
Page 109
If the entire Central Plains were in turmoil, the degree of harm would not be comparable to a local famine.
Therefore, since ancient times, countless people of insight have a clear understanding, and because of this understanding, they have become ruthless enough, that is, they can kill 10,000+ or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but they must not let the world evolve into a turbulent state. Bureau.
Because that would kill millions of people.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, it had a population of 5000 million at its peak. However, after only 20 years of turmoil, there were less than 200 million households left in the entire Central Plains. Although there were missing statistics due to the war, no matter how missing statistics There will be no shortage of millions.
Therefore, the total population in the early Tang Dynasty was at most 2000 million.
From 5000 million people to 2000 million people, in just 20 years of turmoil, as many as 3000 million people died.
This number is horrific.
The 10,000+ casualties in World War I yesterday are too childish compared to this number.
Gu Tianya continued to look up at the sky, and said: "If the Li family repays their debts, they have to pay more to the people. Since the family's debts are difficult to repay, they can only do such ruthless things that don't have to be repaid. I understand this truth, so I am not because It's sad."
Li Jiancheng listened to his narration quietly, and after a long time, he slowly spoke up, and said softly: "Is it because you saw the actions of those people in Tiance Mansion yesterday?"
Gu Tianya looked gloomy, nodded and said: "Those ugly faces, eager to get the fruits of victory, are still the embryonic forms of aristocratic families, and one day they will become beetles that suck the blood of the people."
Li Jiancheng sighed, and said: "From ancient times to the present, this matter is inevitable for any dynasty, and we can only exchange the old with the new. For example, my Li family's plan this time is because the old family has already endangered the stability of the world, so we can't do it." Don’t design a war, support the new forces to compete with the old, so that the old and the new will alternate, and the Central Plains will be stable for 300 years.”
Gu Tianya said coldly: "After 300 years, the dragon slayer will become a dragon."
Li Jiancheng looked in the direction of Chang'an, exhaled lightly and said, "At that time, there will be a new killing to replace it."
Gu Tianya couldn't help but said: "But at that time, the Tang Dynasty was over."
Li Jiancheng smiled kindly, and said: "The country has never existed for thousands of years, and it is enough to maintain peace for 300 years. I only hope that the descendants of my Li family will be kind and make the people live better in these 300 years."
Gu Tianya's eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly said: "Maybe, Jiangshan can last for tens of thousands of years."
Li Jiancheng shook his head slowly and said: "There are only so many benefits in the world, and the families enjoying the benefits will grow larger and larger as time goes by. After 300 years, the benefits are no longer enough. This is the reason why the dynasty cannot last long, because the Central Plains The land is not enough to support tens of thousands of years, at most it can only support 300 years of peace, and when the benefits are not enough, it will inevitably fall apart."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya still insisted on his own opinion, saying: "Perhaps, the country can really last for thousands of years."
Li Jiancheng seemed to be stunned, and suddenly gave him a meaningful look, and said ambiguously: "Unless there are innumerable lands that create innumerable wealth... Brother-in-law, tell me the truth, this may happen ?"
Gu Tianya said 'haha' twice, Gu Zuo said that it got up, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an, and changed the subject: "The morning court should start."
Li Jiancheng didn't ask the question just now, but turned his head to look in the direction of Chang'an, nodded and said, "Yes, the morning court is about to begin."
This is the first court meeting after the Xuanwumen Incident.
Both brothers knew that something interesting was going to happen at the court meeting.
Divide the fruit, arrange the seats, maybe it won't be long before the names of those victors will be spread all over the world.
I just don't know how many princes there will be.
I don't know how big the reward will be.
Presumably, there will also be various interest disputes among the dragon slayers.At that time, more interesting things will definitely happen...
……
The two brothers looked at the direction of Chang'an for a long time, and suddenly turned around and laughed loudly, saying: "Let's just watch from the wall and watch the situation in Chang'an."
Five hundred cavalry, guarding several carriages, walked slowly.
Hebei Road, go home to farm.
……
...The 2nd update and the 3rd update arrived, because the plot is relatively coherent and difficult to split, so they are released together, and the update progress is 6/16 today. 15, today is 16, 懆, someone gave a reward of 100 yuan.
Chapter 167 [Baby Gu Jiahu, born to be a prince] 2 in 1
Above the court, there must be rewards.
This is the moment when the victor picks the fruit.
But before everyone in Tiance Mansion wants to confer rewards, they have to put up Li Shimin's brand first. This is like people who work in companies in later generations. What is it for?To put it bluntly, it is all for profit.
For example, if a certain faction of employees in the company has the upper hand, they must want to raise their salary and get promoted, but they cannot directly bring it up.
The department manager must be pushed up first, so that the department manager can be promoted to a higher level. After the power of the boss increases, and the salary also rises, everyone will be able to see each other and follow the rules to reap the benefits.
This is the current situation of everyone in the Tiance Mansion
No matter who wants to obtain the desired benefits, he must first put the brand of Li Shimin at the forefront. Since ancient times, since ancient times, he has tied his head to his waistband and worked hard. What do you want?Isn't it this...
……
At this time, above the court hall, the first imperial decree began to be read.
The imperial decree in the early Tang Dynasty was not as shameless as the later dynasties, and it didn't say "Fengtian Chengyun" at the beginning, it was just a dry "imperial order".
And because the imperial decree is to be spread to the world through Menxia Province, there will be the word "menxia" at the beginning of the imperial decree.
"Decree, under the door, today there is Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who has important military and state affairs, employs people and administration, and does not dare to let himself go. To celebrate the celebration, it will be held in Yuanliang..."
The first paragraph of this kind of reward type imperial decree is basically a compliment, which can be understood as bragging, but it doesn’t matter whether you read it or not.
What really matters are the next few words.
Everyone in Tiance Mansion suppressed their excitement, held their breath and listened to the imperial decree and continued to read.
"... is the first heir of the clan, belongs to the will of heaven. I hereby abide by the first imperial edict, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country, to confer the treasures, and to be the crown prince. The rule of the year, with the heart of the world..."
It's finally done!
Dozens of people in Tiance Mansion were excited, with uncontrollable ecstasy showing on their faces.
This imperial decree was not Li Yuan's succession edict, but made Li Shimin the Crown Prince and officially became the legal heir of the Great Tang Dynasty.
Of course, everyone knows this is just a formality.
In fact, Li Shimin has monopolized power.
Because the last paragraph of the imperial decree is very clear.
"I have been suffering from illness for a long time, and I can't wait for a long time to think about all the opportunities in a day. I hereby order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend to the Taiji Hall, divide the affairs, and supervise the army. All the matters played by the ministers are decided by the crown prince."
This passage is easy to understand. It means that Li Yuan thinks he is sick and can't do too strenuous work, so he asked Li Shimin, the crown prince, to help.
From then on, Li Shimin had the final say on all matters in Datang.
Everyone knows this is an excuse.
But it does not prevent Li Shimin from monopolizing power.
Except for not sitting on the dragon chair, everything else is exactly the same as the emperor.
"Announcement to the world, Xian envoys hear it."
"August of the seventh year of Wude."
The recitation of the first imperial decree is now over.
……
At this time, there were hundreds of officials standing in the entire court hall, the officials of the aristocratic family restrained their anger, and the Tiance Mansion's family were all happy, and suddenly saluted and sang together, loudly saying: "We pay our respects to the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin stood quietly at the top of the court, with a calm face that could not be seen to be happy or angry. On the dragon chair not far away, Li Yuan also looked calm. There was a faint flash of coldness.
Only the people from the Li family understand what the people in Tiance Mansion want.
They obviously want Li Shimin to be the emperor, but they actually want to share the merits of being a dragon...
Therefore, Li Yuan quickly asked people to recite the second edict.
"Feng, Changsun Wuji, Zhao Guogong, three thousand households in Shiyi, from Yipin..."
"Feng, Fang Xuanling, Liang Guogong, three thousand households in Shiyi, from Yipin..."
"Feng, Du Ruhui, Lord Seto, three thousand households in Shiyi, from Yipin..."
"Feng, Gao Shilian, Shen Guogong, three thousand households in Shiyi, from Yipin..."
"..."
The names were read out one by one, and it was impressive that they were all the Dukes of the state, and these were only civil servants, and seven or eight of them had been sealed in a blink of an eye.
Followed by generals.
Founding Duke, E, Yuchi Jingde.
Founding Duke, Wei, Li Jing.
Founding Duke, Su, Cheng Yaojin.
Founding Duke, Bao, Duan Zhixuan.
Founding Duke, Kui, Liu Hongji.
Founding Dukes, Qiao, Chai Shao.
Founding Duke, Yun, Zhang Liang.
……
The names were read out one by one. This time there were more dukes, and all of them were granted by the duke of the founding state, which belonged to the rank of the first rank of the National People's Congress among the same titles.
The military generals are not as good as civil servants, and basically all of them can't hide their excitement. The generals died in hundreds of battles and won tens of thousands of households. After working hard for so long, they finally got the benefits they wanted.
So far, everyone in Tiance Mansion has finished sharing the fruits of victory.
But no one expected that Li Yuan took out another imperial decree and said slowly, "I have another reward."
Everyone was startled, and then became curious.
Especially the people in Tiance Mansion couldn't hide their excitement. Everyone only thought that Li Yuan had a bigger reward, and many generals couldn't help but gasp heavily.
Unexpectedly, after the servant opened the imperial decree, he only read one sentence and made everyone stand on the spot. Regardless of the people in Tiance Mansion or the officials of the aristocratic family, none of them knew who the name was written in the imperial decree.
"Feng, baby tiger, Duke of Tanzhou, [-] households will be harvested, and [-] real estates will be eaten. The title will be hereditary and will not be replaced for a hundred generations. The Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed, and it will rest with the country..."
hiss!
There was a gasp in the audience.
This award is really astonishing, surpassing the status of an ordinary prince.
Even though he is the Duke of the state, he is directly named Tanzhou, which is a feudal land of one state, which completely overwhelms the titles of the people in Tiance Mansion.
Just now, the duke of the state was granted by everyone, but it was just an ancient place name, but no fiefdom was granted, and there were only [-] households in the city.
And this food city is fake, it's just to add a nice name.
But this baby tiger has a different status in the country. The fiefdom alone has the territory of a state. Not only is there a real fiefdom, but there are also [-] households in the food town. It is clearly written in the imperial decree that these ten thousand households are real food towns , This is not a false seal, but a real [-] households.
This is just fiefdom and food town.
The key is the latter reward.
The title of title is hereditary and will not be replaced for a hundred generations. As long as the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, it will die with the country.
……
All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked on the spot, especially the people of Tiance Mansion, who felt the burning pain on their faces at this moment.
They had just harvested the fruits of victory, and were exulting for their titles, but they suddenly discovered that their rewards were not worthy of carrying shoes compared to others...
Things in the world are most afraid of comparison, and once compared, they will feel dissatisfied.
But seeing Changsun Wuji walking out slowly, bowing his hands towards Li Yuan slightly, he pretended to be curious and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, who is this baby tiger? I don't know what kind of meritorious service he has made, and he can be rewarded so generously by His Majesty."
Li Yuan's face was pale, and he seemed to turn a deaf ear, but there was a coldness in his eyes, and there was some sarcasm indistinctly.
Changsun Wuji's heart shuddered, and he suddenly bent down solemnly. This time he saluted extremely solemnly, without any omissions.
After saluting, he never asked about the reward just now, but slowly retreated into the court with a sigh.
Obviously he already understood the meaning of this reward.
But the generals obviously didn't think it through. Seeing seven or eight people standing up together, they clearly wanted to rely on the power of Xuanwumen's great victory, and were going to ask who the owner of this strange reward was.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Shimin, who had been silent all this time, finally heard Li Shimin speak, and said slowly: "Anyone is not allowed to compare this award..."
His tone was firm, even cold.
The generals stopped immediately, and retreated back to the original place almost without thinking. Although they were still puzzled, no one dared to show any dissatisfaction.
Li Yuan suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and glanced at the courtiers in the entire Tai Chi Hall. After a long time, the founding emperor of Tang Dynasty sighed and said with deep meaning: "I'm tired, I want to rest..."
