I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Less than five years after the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, the territory it conquered had already exceeded that of all previous dynasties.

All officials in the court submitted to him, and the people of the world were loyal to him. The Dayu Dynasty was flourishing.

One morning at court, Liang Jun Wang Wu Sansi stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report."

Wu Zhao glanced at her nephew. She didn't pay much attention to him on weekdays, but she made him a prince for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Why didn't he act as an invisible person today?

Forget it, just listen to what tricks he is playing.

Wu Zhao asked calmly, "What do you want to say? Come and tell me as soon as possible."

Feeling the coldness in his aunt's words, Wu Sansi almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He kept telling himself in his heart: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. After today, my aunt will definitely change her mind about him!

Wu Sansi spoke eloquently and eulogized the two saints, and finally said: "For this reason, I and the chieftains of the four barbarians will collect 100 billion yuan and 1 million catties of copper and iron to build the Tianshu of the Ten Thousand Nations, engrave the names of the chieftains of the four barbarians and all the stars and officials, and praise the supreme achievements of the two saints!"

Wu Zhao suddenly became excited: "Oh? Building the Tianshu of all nations with copper and iron?"

Build the Tianshu of all nations and sing praises of my supreme achievements?

Wu Zhao's heart instantly blossomed with joy.

Okay, okay, this is a great idea!

Wu Sansi is very good at flattering others, and he even found such a niche track.

In the past, emperors would carve stones to record their achievements, but this kid is quite clever. He actually thought of casting columns of copper and iron to record his achievements. That's really cool.

Wu Zhao was delighted: "Approved!"

"Come here, draft an edict."

After the imperial edict was issued, arrangements for the construction of Tianshu were made in full swing.

The great chieftain of Persia, Alohan, personally went to various countries in the Western Regions and collected money from the kings of various tribes, obtaining hundreds of trillions of money.

Wu Zhao appointed Yao Yan as the director of construction, Mao Bola from the Dongyi tribe as the designer, Wu Sansi as the writer, Gao Zuyou from Goguryeo as the carver, and Quan Xiancheng from Goguryeo as the inspector of Tianshuzi's envoy, to escort the bronze for the great ceremony at Xuanwu Gate.

Tianshu was cast with one million kilograms of copper and iron, and an inscription was made to commemorate the merits and virtues of the country, to demote Tang and praise Yu.

Li Zhao took some people to visit the construction site and opened the live broadcast room of the [Live Tourism Module]: "Hi, my dears, we meet again!"

"Today, let everyone see how the famous Wan Guo Tian Shu was built!"

"By the way, I'm just dispelling a rumor. Please remember to give me lots of tips!"

Someone immediately spoke up in the barrage.

[Ping Huan]: Front row~front row~is the Tianshu of the World! The plot of the web drama has reached this point!

[Frost Prisoner]: The Heavenly Hub of All Nations, this is an extraordinary thing.

[Sharp and memorable]: It is unique in history, symbolizing that my country's international status reached its peak in ancient times!

[Pinghuan] immediately gave two "urging update tokens" as a reward.

[Frost Prisoner] also rewarded with a "love letter".

[Sharp and Remember] gave a reward of "Like".

Li Zhao cleared his throat: "Ahem, first of all, the first rumor: The World Sky Hub was built by Wu Zetian for her own amusement, a self-entertainment product!"

Qingluan sneered: "The male dog has really eaten too much shit, he dares to say any bullshit!"

"The Old Book of Tang records it clearly: Liang Wang Wu Sansi persuaded the chieftains of the various tribes to request a large-scale expedition to collect copper and iron from the Eastern Capital, to build a Tianshu outside Duanmen, and to establish a hymn to commemorate the emperor's achievements."

"Tianshu was built by Wu Sansi and the chieftains of the four barbarians in order to curry favor with Wu Zetian. How could it be said that the Empress Wu built it on her own accord?"

"They requested to build Tianshu in August 694, when Wu Zhou defeated the Western Turks, the Western Turks, the Tibetans, the Shiwei, the Nishujijin, the Turkic Shizhi Khan, the Hulu and other countries, which was also the time when Wu Zhou's military achievements were at their peak."

As Li Zhao flew away, he said to the live broadcast room: "In 693, the second year of Changshou, Wang Xiaojie recovered Anxi. Tubo was unwilling to accept this and joined forces with the Western Turks to launch a large-scale attack on Wu Zhou in the second year. In the same year, Shiwei and Hou Turks also rebelled."

"Emperor Wu was fearless in the face of danger and defeated the attacks of the four kingdoms in one fell swoop. As a result, Wu Zhou became famous throughout the world and shocked the four barbarians. Paying money to build Tianshu was their way of expressing their submission to Wu Zhou."

The audience in the barrage was very excited.

[Ping Huan]: Aaaaaaa! As expected, the construction background of Tianshu was when Wu Zhou was at its peak!

[Ping Huan]: If Wu Zhou did not have strong military support, foreign chiefs would not have paid money to help Emperor Wu build Tianshu.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, but the chiefs probably didn't think of building Tianshu to show their submission at first. It was Wu Sansi's idea that made them suddenly come up with the idea of ​​gathering together to pay for it."

"Wu Sansi alone cannot command the chieftains of the four barbarians. The reason why the chieftains of the four barbarians supported Wu Sansi is because there is a powerful Wu Zhou behind Wu Sansi, a Wu Zhou that they must please."

At this time, another word from a bitch floated across the barrage.

[Green Glaze]: Here they come again! The lackeys of Empress Wu Yao are here to brag about the Asian War again! Wu Zhou's military strength was very poor, and the Asian War was all exaggerated!

[Green Glaze]: Professor Yu Gengzhe said that the war that broke out between the four countries in 694 AD only involved people. Such battles happen on borders every year, they are just small-scale battles. I don’t know what you martial arts dogs are bragging about!

Seeing this, Li Zhao's virtual image on the big screen in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.

She sneered, "【Green Glaze】? It's you again, you cheap dog!"

"You're still talking about Yu Gengzhe? Let me tell you, everything he said is fake!"

Li Zhao said frankly: "The Asian War is a nickname given to this war by netizens, but this war is definitely not a small battle involving only 70,000 people."

Qing Luan also laughed: "Stupid dog, the 70,000 people your dear teacher Yu mentioned came from the Zizhi Tongjian."

"Neither the New Book of Tang nor the Old Book of Tang mentions the exact number of participants in this war. Where did the Zizhi Tongjian get the data?"

According to the "Zizhi Tongjian·Tang Ji 21", in February, Wang Xiaojie, the governor of Wuwei Road, defeated Tubo Bo Lun Zanren, (Western) Turkic Khan Mi Zi and others at Lingquan and Daling, each with more than 30,000 troops, and Han Sizhong, the governor of Suiye, defeated Nishushijin and others with more than 10,000 troops.

However, the New Book of Tang records that... and the Tibetan bandits... defeated it; Han Sizhong, the governor of Suiye, also defeated Nisujijin and the Turkic Khan Shizhi and Hulu, and thus captured the Tibetan Nisumo City.

Neither the New Book of Tang nor the Old Book of Tang records the exact number of participants in the war. Where did the data of 70,000 people in the Zizhi Tongjian come from?

Li Zhao said: "Okay, let's just take what Sima Guang said as true."

"Based on the data in the Zizhi Tongjian, we infer that the total number of the Later Turks and Shiwei who participated in the war was the same as that of the Western Turks and Tubo, which was more than 70,000."

"Han Sizhong defeated Shi Zhi Khan, Huluwuque and the Tibetan city of Nishumosi, totaling more than 7 troops, so the enemy had at least 21 troops."

"Adding the main force of Wu Zhou, the conservative estimate is about 10 to 20 troops. The total number of troops on both sides is at least 30 to 40."

Qingluan was speechless at this idiot named [Qingyu]: "A war with a total number of participants exceeding 200,000 is already a large-scale war, let alone 400,000."

The barrage expressed agreement.

[Loves Fried Potato Pancakes]: Yes, the largest countries in Asia, the Western Turkic Khaganate, the Western Turkic Khaganate, the Tubo Khaganate, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty, were fighting each other. If this wasn’t the Asian War, what was it?

Li Zhao smiled and said, "In fact, the exact number of participants in this war can be inferred from historical facts."
