I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 87
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but feel a little bit moved, she pretended to be distressed and lowered her head to think for a while, then raised her head to look at Huang Sheng with some hesitation.

"Just now, the old gentleman said that the Empress Dowager Xiaowen is a person who understands 'the best kindness is like water';"

"Then what kind of person does the old man think that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was?"

Hearing this, Huang Sheng remained indifferent on the face, but he was a little surprised in his heart!
He raised his head tentatively, seeing that Empress Dowager Dou didn't have any complicated expressions on her face, so Huang Sheng pressed the button and heaved a sigh of relief;

After contemplating his words for a moment, he recalled them carefully, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with what he said next, Huang Sheng raised his head and bowed slightly to Empress Dowager Dou.

"Old man, his ancestral home is Yingchuan;"

"In the 17th year of King Qin Yingzheng, the old grandfather moved to Guanzhong with his father."

"That's why the old man grew up in Lantian since he was a child, not far from Chang'an."

"When Prince Qin was beheaded by Xiang Yu, the old man went to Xianyang city to torture..."

After saying a word as if with emotion, Huang Sheng's face couldn't help showing a flash of reminiscence.

"When the son of the third generation was cut in half, the old man was still young, and he didn't understand the reason."

"But after that, Xiang Yu set fire to Xianyang, and made all the generals of the anti-Qin Yi army the Eighteenth Route vassals. Lantian, where the old man lives, became the fiefdom of Sima Xin, king of Sai."

"During those few years, the farmland in Lantian became more and more barren and the canals became more and more clogged, but Sima Xin, king of Sai, ignored this and only cared about his enjoyment;"

"Fortunately, a few years later, Emperor Taizu Gao returned to Sanqin from Hanzhong, and the situation in Lantian gradually improved..."

Speaking of this, Huang Sheng's face was full of regret;

Especially when it came to the name 'Sai Wang Sima Xin', he even gritted his teeth faintly.

And at the end, when it was mentioned that "Emperor Taizu Gao also set up the Three Qin Dynasty", Huang Sheng finally felt a little relieved on his eyebrows.

"During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the world was still dilapidated, and the court treasury was empty;"

"Combined with the continuous rebellion of princes with different surnames, Emperor Taizu Gao didn't care about governing Guanzhong at all, and could only rush around year after year to quell the rebellion."

"In the end, Emperor Taizu Gao was also in the process of suppressing the Huainan Wang Yingbu (Tattoo) rebellion. He was shot by a stray arrow and died shortly thereafter..."

"Emperor Xiaohui succeeded Emperor Taizu Gao, but it is a pity that Emperor Xiaohui died early;"

"Afterwards, two abolished emperors succeeded to the throne."

"During that time, the government orders were all issued by the Empress Dowager Lu. The situation in Guanzhong improved a little, but it just didn't continue to deteriorate."

Speaking of this, Huang Sheng couldn't help raising his head slightly, carefully scrutinizing the expression of Empress Dowager Dou;
After confirming that Empress Dowager Dou did not show any displeasure because of the word 'Empress Lu', Huang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "After Empress Dowager Lu passed away, it was Taizong Xiaowen who came from the Dai Kingdom to succeed the Datong. ..."

"Since the first year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's succession to the throne, the lives of the people in Guanzhong have greatly improved."

"In the first year of Emperor Taizong, the former Emperor Taizong issued an edict to reduce the agricultural tax from [-] to [-] to [-];"

"The oral tax that men need to pay has been reduced from 120 yuan per person per year to [-] yuan per person."

"In addition, Emperor Taizong also promulgated the "Xu Min Chi Shan Ze" order, allowing the people to obtain food and materials needed for life in the mountains and forests."

"These good policies are of great benefit to the common people and do no harm to them. I can experience it personally when I live in Lantian, which is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an."

"—Especially Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's life was extremely simple and simple, and he never had extravagant pleasures;"

"Even when it's time for the funeral, I still don't forget to tell the prince: the funeral should be kept simple, and there should be no precious gold, copper, pearls, jade, etc. among the funeral objects..."

At the end, Huang Sheng couldn't help but choke up when he mentioned the personal virtues of the former emperor Liu Heng, especially the arrangements for the funeral;
It took a long time to calm down before Huang Sheng recovered from his sad mood, and forced a smile like a smile.

"The Empress Dowager asked the old man: What kind of person was Emperor Taizong Xiaowen?"

"I can only answer the Empress Dowager: Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is not at all what a vulgar person like Lao Yu can say..."

"If the Empress Dowager really wants to know the answer, you can ask the people in Guanzhong who were weeping and weeping at home when Emperor Taizong passed away;"

"You can also go to the streets of Chang'an and listen to those who still miss Emperor Taizong today and why they miss Emperor Taizong."

"——Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is really the bright and heroic ruler that the people of the world have been looking forward to for generations."

"And the Queen Mother, as Emperor Taizong's wife, definitely did not shame Emperor Taizong..."

As Huang Sheng obviously restrained himself, but still couldn't help but put on a sobbing tone, Empress Dowager Dou also had red eyes for a moment.

Empress Dowager Dou did not have the slightest doubt about what Huang Sheng said.

Needless to say anything else about the reputation of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Liu Heng, the temple name of "Taizong" and the posthumous title of "Wen" are enough to explain everything.

As for Empress Dowager Dou, although she didn't do anything specific, just the pair of eyes that gradually became dim due to years of fiddling with needles and threads is enough to explain: as the wife of the first emperor Liu Heng, Empress Dowager Dou, and Not dishonoring the reputation of the dead husband...
As the topic gradually turned to the late emperor, the wrongdoings in Changxin Hall became a little heavy for a while.

But soon, Empress Dowager Dou gradually adjusted herself, forced herself to heal the grief in her heart, and continued to ask: "In this way, you also think that Emperor Taizong is a Mingjun?"

After asking calmly, Huang Sheng nodded his head heavily without hesitation, only to see Empress Dowager Dou take a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's virtue is indeed unprecedented in ancient and modern times;"

"But I heard that until today, there are still people who are privately accusing Emperor Taizong of his origin..."

The words that seemed to point to something only caused Huang Sheng's face to freeze, and his brows were immediately filled with confusion.

—Birthplace?
Seeing that Huang Sheng didn't react for a while, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and then raised her head full of sighs.

Looking at Huang Sheng's eyes, there was clearly sigh and resentment;
But in the tone of voice, there was a little temptation inexplicably.

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is not the eldest son of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"—and neither is he a descendant, nor is he the eldest son."

"As for Emperor Taizong's virtue, I'm afraid no one can find fault with it;"

"But Emperor Taizong is not the heir of Emperor Xiaohui, but the younger brother of Emperor Xiaohui."

"In the past, no matter whether it was the royal family or the people, it was always the father who died and the son succeeded."

"But Emperor Taizong inherits the Datong, he is brother and brother and..."
