[Datang Shuanglong] Aspiration

By the way, when assassins came to the palace, everyone was waiting for the emperor and his family to take action. What happened?It is said that on the second day of the emperor's wedding, the queen went out before the emperor... Just from these two "simple" examples, it can be seen that Dai Viet can be called "there is no one before, and no one to come after" It's a wonderful dynasty.

However, the power of "wonderful flower" is far more than that simple.

——No one before is sure, the rules, customs, living habits and values ​​that have been handed down for thousands of years were overthrown, reorganized, and then improved from top to bottom when the Song family was in power; This is the general trend, because since the end of the Yue Dynasty, the whole world has entered a new era of freedom and democracy, and there is no such thing as a "dynasty" anymore.

From this, we can also imagine how much positive effect this strange dynasty has played on the happiness of all mankind: so whenever the Yue Dynasty is mentioned, "wonderful" has become a fashion, and it is by no means derogatory.

To get to the bottom of it, the reason why the Yue Dynasty was so weird, historians believe that this great responsibility must be borne by the weird Emperor Taizong and his queen of Dayue...

There is no doubt that the "wonderful" attribute of "a mountain is higher than a mountain" of the emperors of Dayue should be inherited. After more than two months, he passed the throne to his son: Then the founding emperor took his wife and young son to travel around the world, and made a lot of interesting "private visits in micro-services" along the way, adding to the unofficial history A lot of content... Many people in later generations secretly think that this old man has a good name, isn't he just missing a string in his head?

However, out of respect for the "great founding emperor", every generation of historians has expressed great affirmation of Song Que's behavior, saying that he has a broad "wisdom and tolerance"!

It is precisely because of this "magnanimity" that Song Que created a good atmosphere of "not being greedy for power" among the emperors of the entire Dayue Dynasty: Looking at the dozens of emperors in the Song and Yue world, very few of them died as emperors. Basically, they abdicated automatically at the right time, and they thought they were "enjoying a free life" after fulfilling the emperor's obligations, which made many guys who wanted to be emperors but couldn't do it scratch their hearts and lungs with jealousy.

In the thousands of years after the Yue Dynasty, the colorful lives of the Song and Yue emperors even became a historical topic for research: quite a few "retired emperors" chose to travel around the world, and some devoted themselves to research. , those engaged in education, those who opened martial arts gyms, those who became art masters...there are even those who "push" government affairs to their sons, lead soldiers to fight wars, or start businesses. It can be said that only historians can't think of it. , there is nothing that the emperors cannot do.

It is precisely because of such "excellent" traditions that the last emperor of the Yue Dynasty happily "discharged" the responsibility of the emperor in advance. The transition to a democratic election system has also preserved permanent praise and good inheritance for the descendants of the Song and Yue royal families.

It was also the last emperor who published a royal secret biography titled "Guide to the Emperor's Behavior" after leaving office, which added a rich touch to the legendary story of Song Shidao, Emperor Taizong of the Yue Dynasty.

Song Shidao, the eldest son of Song Que, the original author of "Guide to the Emperor's Behavior", was actually the first emperor in the true sense of the Yue Dynasty.

Whether in terms of ability or strategic vision, this emperor is one of the best elite leaders for thousands of years: he popularized civilian education, encouraged innovation, developed science and technology, industry and commerce, and reformed officials and the military system...anything They are all worthy of special mention, especially the laws and policies he formulated have promoted the progress of the entire human race.

Of course, it is undeniable that in terms of foreign policy, what Song Shidao pursued was "robbing other people's land and money, so that the people of Da Viet can get rich first", "use other people's money to improve their strength, and then continue to grab more money and land”, “robbing money with friends, and turning enemies into slaves” and other blatant bandit policies, but after thousands of years, when the descendants of bandits have mastered the mainstream discourse power in the world, Song Shidao became A man of unshakable greatness.

In addition to these noble acts of "success for thousands of years", Song Shidao is most talked about by posterity for his courage and determination to make a man a queen. Countless historians are very curious about the conservative subjects at that time. How did they accept this matter... Unfortunately, they can only make some inferences from a few words of history, and it is difficult to restore the whole historical truth, so this matter has finally become an eternal topic of historical gossip.

In fact, even in the Sheng'an period of the Yue Dynasty and when Taizong was in power, the issue of the queen was also a long-standing gossip: because that guy Kou Zhong, even if he became an unprecedented male queen, he was still the same. Very high-profile!

Let me ask, which other queen can achieve "brilliant military exploits, high achievements and shocking masters"?There is no one else except Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong is a queen who can't stand loneliness. During the more than [-] years he was a queen, he spent about half of the time leading troops to fight. Queen, none of them.

In the fifth year of Sheng'an, after the political situation stabilized, the territory of Dayue began to expand rapidly, from Koryo to East Turkic, Tuyuhun, Western Turkic, and then to Dongying, South China Sea countries...all were brought down by Kou Zhong's troops. In a word: No matter at that time or thousands of years later, many people believed that if Kou Zhong wanted to rebel, it would be really not that difficult.

Is this really the case?In the eyes of some insiders, the difficulty of rebellion is quite large——

"If you want to rebel, I really have no objection." It was a sunny afternoon, in the imperial garden, in the pavilion by the lake, Song Shidao reclined on a soft chair to enjoy the coolness, looked at Kou Zhong leisurely, and smiled lightly Said: "So, Young Master Zhong, why do you care about those rumors that inflame the flames? If you were to be the emperor and I were the queen, you would be able to stay in Beijing honestly for more than a year, and if you can't resist going to the royal conquest... ...I'm too happy to be happy."

"Didn't I stay here for the past five years? It's so boring, my bones are hardened!" Kou Zhong complained, then threw himself on Song Shidao's body, and said angrily, "Who the hell is always targeting me?" ? It's really annoying to hear these sowing rumors just after you come back, so hurry up and find out those little people who spread the rumors and deal with them!"

Song Shidao put his arms around Kou Zhong's waist with a light smile, and said, "The rumors spread because you are so capable, Young Master Zhong. You made military achievements like crazy outside, and occupied the entire harem inside...they have absolutely nothing to do with you. I can only say a few words in secret, I will start digging them out, why not hand it over to the Queen herself?"

Kou Zhong snorted proudly and said, "It's mediocre not to be envied by others. Seeing that those guys who spread rumors let me know how great I am. After I find them, I'll give them a good time." , What do you think, Emperor?"

"What the queen said was the imperial decree." Song Shidao said with a smile, "a common phrase used by the faint king".

Kou Zhong hurriedly said: "Then I have solved Fu Cailin this time, if you want to reward me, I will do whatever I say."

Song Shidao said noncommittally: "Half of the national treasury has been emptied for you to reward the army. What else does the queen want?"

"I want you to lie down obediently and give me favor!" Kou Zhong directly pulled off the emperor's belt, stretched out his hand and pulled off the other's skirt, and said unceremoniously: "You also know that I rewarded the army. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. If you If you don't agree, I will really rebel."

"You have already done it directly, and I don't care if I agree or not... In broad daylight, the empress, you openly offended the holy car in the imperial garden. You are rebelling, right?" Song Shidao showed weakness in expression and tone, but in action Without being weak, he skillfully undressed Kou Zhong and touched him around—just like that, the emperor and empress started their "rebellion" and "suppression" activities of coming and going, each showing their own abilities.

Facts have proved that the reason why Song Shidao was able to "settle down" the position of emperor was all due to his "real ability"——

"It doesn't make sense, this time I have made a breakthrough again, how could I lose to you... Mmm, you bastard!" Kou Zhong glared at his sweetheart with a flushed face, a little unwilling and indulged in enjoyment Inextricable.

Song Shidao teased Kou Zhong's limp body in his arms with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing has little to do with martial arts cultivation, queen, you still have to learn... When you leave the teacher, I will give it to you again." Your chance to rebel."

"You don't teach me, and you don't give me a chance to practice, how can I learn it?" Kou Zhong protested.

"Heh, I'm teaching you hand in hand now." Song Shidao said while tearing his beloved queen apart and eating him, "however, you need to pay attention to talent in everything... especially this kind of thing, you can't force it." .”

"Nonsense, sooner or later I will teach you to understand my super talent... Hey, hurry up! Have you lost your temper?!"

"Marshal general order, how dare I disobey?"

"..."

Under the emperor's superb means, he and the queen quickly transitioned from "swords at war" to "harmony". The rebellion in the imperial garden was easily "suppressed" by the emperor. The birds flew away chirping: as if saying "shame, shame"...

Therefore, rebellion is a technical activity, and it really has little to do with martial arts, military power and military achievements.

"Failed rebellion" is a very common thing for Kou Zhong, it will not make him unhappy or hurt, although he failed again in the imperial garden this time, next time he can try the imperial study again ... All in all, Kou Zhong definitely has the good quality of "not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat", and he is tireless in the matter of "rebellion": anyway, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he is happy, and he has nothing to lose.

Usually after the triumphant return, the first thing the generalissimo and empress do is to rebel against the emperor; after that, he will settle accounts with some people: he wants to go to the emperor's harem while the empress is away The Cypriots still want to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the empress... These guys who are not afraid of death always pop up one after another, like weeds that cannot be eradicated.

Some people always think that there is no emperor who doesn't like to steal, and that emperors like the new and dislike the old-but in fact, the reason why Song Shidao occasionally has an ambiguous attitude is to keep them hopping around on purpose, just to leave them for the empress returning from the war. Play, relieve boredom.

Emperors and empresses also need to have fun. Aren't some courtiers who eat vegetarian food in their corpses and think about everything and think about it all day long are good candidates for having fun?

Besides those people, it's also interesting to watch the "strong brotherhood" of the Lee brothers...

"Is Li Shimin really that hard to catch? The empress personally let him run away..." The disheveled emperor embraced the equally disheveled empress and "discussed state affairs" in the pavilion. The idiot came to interrupt.

"Tsk, you have no interest in talking about these things at this time!" Kou Zhong punched him and complained, "Why do you always care about Li Er so much? I really can't help but suspect that you have a crush on him! "

Song Shidao pretended to be enlightened and said: "I didn't notice it if you didn't tell me. If that's the case, when you capture him alive, I'll make him a concubine. The Li family must be very happy."

Immediately, Kou Zhong exuded a gloomy aura all over his body, and said, "Do you dare to say it again?"

"Cough," Song Shidao said with a broken smile, "If the imperial concubine fails, what about Mrs. Tang Guogong?"

Kou Zhong laughed in astonishment: "They are brothers, you are so bad, do you want to revive Li Yuan?"

"Aren't we good brothers from the beginning, there is no difference... Besides, if Li Jiancheng didn't release the water, how could Li Shimin slip away from you? In short, I absolutely don't believe it." Song Shidao said slowly.

"From what you said, I also think that Li Jiancheng may have secretly reported to Li Er because of his brotherhood. No wonder Li Yuanji's face was as black as ink for a while." Kou Zhong pondered for a moment, Then he asked doubtfully, "Since this is the case, you shouldn't have sent Li Jiancheng to follow me on the expedition. What are you thinking?"

Song Shidao said in a very innocent tone: "I just think it's quite interesting to let Li Shimin owe Li Jiancheng's favor for the rest of his life..."

Kou Zhong couldn't understand it at all, and said with a wooden face: "Have you been the emperor for a long time, and you are so bored that your head is moldy?!"

"That's right," Song Shidao admitted frankly, "Anyway, the three brothers of the Li family will never be able to find the palm of my hand, so what about playing around? Let Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji be the 'Li Er recruiters' and chase after him Run around. Every time, Li Jiancheng couldn’t help letting go. Li Yuanji was depressed and helpless. As for Li Shimin, he used his brother to get away. Feeling cold, I will spend my whole life in a foreign land incognito.”

"I think you are really..." Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "It's so bad!"

"The empress really wronged me," Song Shidao said with a gentle smile, "I am the most fair person, everything is karma...how about we do it again?"

Kou Zhong stared dumbfounded at Song Shidao who had "entered the state" again, and murmured: "Why don't you talk and talk again, what is the connection between this?!"

Song Shidao bit Kou Zhong's earlobe, and said with a faint smile: "Didn't you say that I am utterly wicked? What the queen said was the imperial decree, so I should behave well for my husband..."

——The emperor is actually a very boring profession. In order not to be bored and die young or become psychopathic, you might as well find an interesting queen. (Excerpt from "The Emperor's Guide to Behavior")
