"During my son Li Zhi's reign, what political achievements did he have?" Li Shimin was still unwilling to accept that the Li family's family was finally given the surname Wu by his son.

"Of course there are." Papa Chu said, "Li Zhi is also known as the "seriously underestimated emperor." "

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Li Shimin became interested.

"At the beginning of Li Zhi's accession to the throne, he continued to implement the various systems formulated by Taizong Li Shimin. Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang jointly assisted the government, making the people Fu'an have the legacy of Zhenguan, which is known as the "Government of Yonghui" in history. "

"From the point of view of martial arts, Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi swallowed the Western Turks, Baekje, and Goguryeo, making the territory of the Tang Dynasty the largest."

"In terms of cultural governance, the "Yonghui Law" and "Tang Law Discussion" compiled during the Tang Gaozong Li Zhi period were both completed in the early Yonghui period."

"During the reign of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, one of the most important policies was to adhere to the national policy of light corvee and low tax, and rest with the people."

"Another important move is to attach importance to the imperial examination system, in order to effectively select outstanding talents."

In fact, there is another saying that Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi's achievements during his reign actually had little to do with him.

Because in the first half of his life, it was his uncle, grandson Wuji, who controlled the government.

Both "Yonghui Law" and "Tang Law Shuyi" were revised by Changsun Wuji.

In the second half of Li Zhi's reign, the power of government and government was in the hands of Wu Zetian.

So it is also said that Li Zhi is the most useless emperor, relying on his uncle for the first half of his life and his wife for the second half of his life.

"Okay, he is indeed my son of Li Shimin." Li Shimin laughed loudly, and the frustration of knowing that the country had changed hands seemed to dissipate a little.

"Before, my husband said that my Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, but didn't Wu Zetian change the name of the country to Zhou?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"After Wu Zetian died, Tang Ruizong Li Dan succeeded to the throne. Li Dan was the eighth son of Li Zhi, and his biological mother was Wu Zetian."

"Li Dan ascended the throne twice in his life, and gave up the world twice."

"The first time he ascended the throne was the first year of civilization, that is, in 684. In 690 AD, he gave way to his mother, Empress Wu Zetian, and was named the heir of the emperor."

"Accessed to the throne again in 710 AD, and then in 712 AD, the son Li Longji was Zen."

"So Wu Zhao's Zhou dynasty only lasted one generation, and the throne finally returned to the Li family."

"Although Wu Zhao ascended the throne and became the empress, she is still the empress of the Li family, so the period of the Zhou Dynasty is included in the history of the Tang Dynasty."

[Some scholars also believe that the history of the Zhou Dynasty should be excluded separately. 】

"Wu Zhao?" Chu's father spoke quickly, and Li Shimin became curious again.

"This is the name Wu Zetian gave herself later, and she created this word herself."

[Another theory is that the word Zhao was created by Zong Qinke. 】

As he spoke, Father Chu took a pen and paper and wrote down the word.

"Zhao, which means that the sun and the moon soar into the sky, illuminating the earth."

"In addition to the meaning that the sun and the moon shine in the sky, there is another meaning."

"This word means the unity of yin and yang, which is in line with her state of mind as a woman being an emperor."

"Ambition is not small." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Father Chu smiled and said nothing. In his eyes, Wu Zetian is definitely a character.

"Excuse me, sir, how did the Tang Dynasty fall in the end?" Li Shimin is now completely in the state of mind of listening to stories.

After learning that his queen died prematurely due to illness, several sons killed each other.

His talented man married his son and became the queen, and finally took the Li family and ascended the throne as the empress of the emperor.

Li Shimin felt that he could calmly listen to how Datang ended.

"The first half of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's reign can be described as a model of Mingjun."

"Not only has been following the open and inclusive policy of the early Tang Dynasty, accepting advice with an open mind, but also advocates building water conservancy, controlling locust plagues, and developing productivity in border areas."

"The population increased by 780 million households during the Kaiyuan period. Under Li Longji's diligent rule, the Tang Dynasty finally ushered in the prosperity of Kaiyuan."

"After Li Longji created the prosperous Kaiyuan, he became tired and lazy, and began to take credit for himself, and lived a life of luxury and luxury."

Li Shimin was about to praise his descendants, but he was choked back before he could speak.

"He began to become corrupt and fatuous, addicted to wine and sex, no longer accepting advice humbly, but favoring eunuchs, Yelang is arrogant."

"Not only that, he also delegated power to frontier governors like An Lushan, which gradually disintegrated the military power that the Tang Dynasty has always been proud of, and the central government's control over the border is getting weaker and weaker."

"An Lushan supported himself at the border, and later rebelled with Shi Siming."

"Because Li Longji favored An Lushan very much, the imperial court was not prepared for this war, and An Lushan quickly marched to Chang'an."

"This civil strife was called the "Anshi Rebellion" by later generations. The Anshi Rebellion brought immeasurable losses to the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and was even evaluated as "a century-old disaster." "

"The Anshi Rebellion destroyed most of the regime of the Li and Tang Dynasties. Even if it is finally put down, the damage it caused will be difficult to repair."

"Therefore, the Anshi Rebellion is an important potential cause of the Tang Dynasty's demise."

"The other reason is that the eunuchs messed up the government. Eight of the last ten emperors of the Tang Dynasty were supported by eunuchs."

"These eunuchs have not only become the commanders of the battlefield, but they can also intervene in state affairs."

“In the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs could even kill the emperor.”

Li Shimin's face was livid, why did such a thing happen again before the throne was warmed up.

Dote on the eunuch, and give the eunuch so much power?

Did no one tell them how the Qin Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were destroyed?

"Affected by the aftermath of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty ushered in a new hidden danger - the separatist rule of the town."

"In the end, civil strife broke out frequently, and the emperor compromised with the feudal towns, which further deepened the separatism of the feudal towns."

"A bunch of waste!" Li Shimin hated that iron could not be made into steel. "Our Li family was built on horseback. How come these descendants are becoming more wasteful from generation to generation!"

"I'm so pissed off!" Li Shimin felt his eyes go black, even if he was beaten to Chang'an by the Turks, it would be better than this.

"I can't, let me take it easy." Li Shimin's headache was splitting, "Wei Zheng! Wei Zheng!"

"The minister is here." Wei Zheng responded.

"When I go back, I will draw up an edict and write it into the ancestral precepts. In the future, when I meet people named An Lushan and Shi Siming, I will kill them directly!"

"Also, those who dare to favor the eunuchs can be decided by the clan elders to abolish and establish a new emperor."

"Yes, I will do it when I get back tonight." Wei Zheng bowed his head.

"I'm dizzy with anger, how can I, Li Shimin, have such useless descendants!" Li Shimin became more and more angry as he thought about it, and wanted to find someone to vent, but found that it was not appropriate to find anyone.

"It's still my fault that I didn't teach my son well." Li Shimin said bitterly, "If Chengqian succeeds to the throne properly, there won't be such troubles."
