When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 108: The people pay for the court’s mistakes.

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang sighed: "It's okay for Huang Chao to massacre those high-ranking dignitaries, princes, nobles, and royal forces. After all, they do have problems, but the objects of robbery also include the common people. That is completely digging their own graves."

The words were full of dissatisfaction with Huang Chao.

I think back then, after he settled in Guanzhong, although he was briefly fascinated by money, but with Zhang Liang's reminder, he quickly woke up, stabilized his greed, and suppressed his desires.

Only then did he appease the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and finally began his great cause of governance.

[The next year, Tang Xizong finally launched a counterattack when Huang Chao's army was extremely at odds with the people of Chang'an. 】

[In the fourth year, Li Keyong led his troops in a surprise attack and defeated Huang Chao's army.Huang Chao fled to Shandong.In March, Zhu Wen once again wiped out Huang Chao's large army, and many of his subordinates Zhang Guiba, Yang Neng and others surrendered. 】

[While the remnants of Huangchao fled to the northeast, Huangchao was completely surrounded in June and died on Langhu Mountain. 】

[The Huang Chao uprising is finally over, but the traces of Huang Chao left in this world have undoubtedly not disappeared. 】

[The rebel army dealt a huge blow to the Tang Dynasty, and Huang Chao's mobile fighting method caused the war to burn to most areas of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Since then, the Central Plains has truly entered a stage where suddenly there are madmen sharpening their swords at night, and the emperor's star is fluttering high. 】

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin sighed, this mobile combat method really did too much harm to Datang.

As an emperor who was a military strategist, he certainly knew the benefits of mobile warfare.

But then we also know the disadvantages of this kind of combat.

The Tang Dynasty had already entered a precarious situation, but now it was stirred up by Huang Chao. The momentum of decadence was irreversible and was constantly accelerating.

At the same time, although Huang Chao's mobile operations have great military advantages, they have many shortcomings in logistics, the first of which is instability.

Without a fixed source of food and grass, a source of troops, and a place to station, relying on plunder will ruin your reputation, and it will not last long.

After settling in Chang'an, the relationship with the people became extremely stiff. In the end, he besieged himself in Chang'an, losing power one after another, and eventually went to destruction.

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Guangyi was still savoring the last words in the miracle.

Feeling emotional.Since Huang Chao, the Tang Dynasty's last dignity of unifying the world has been completely shattered, and the world has returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period again, with everyone thinking about competing for hegemony.

Who wants to be inferior to others?
Besides, the fanatics who sharpen their swords are not just the governors of that place. Even the ministers in the court are not enemies.Who is not an ambitious person? ——
Sui Dynasty, the 18th year of the founding of the emperor.

Yang Jian and his wife also kept chanting this sentence.

Their Sui Dynasties are a little too similar in this sentence.

Although they are talking about the Tang Dynasty, it does not prevent Yang Jian and his wife from bringing themselves into it.

In fact, there were not a few fanatics in their Sui Dynasty who were sharpening their knives in secret. Most of them were located in every corner of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, they were well hidden and difficult to detect on weekdays.

In other words, this sentence actually corresponds to the last years of most dynasties.

[Quotes Easter Egg [-]: The Nine Heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore their hats and worshiped them.The sun has just come and the fairy palms are moving, and the cigarettes are about to float next to the dragon.

(Tang·Wang Wei)】

[Zhao Zhao had the Tang Dynasty, and God provided for all nations.The ancestors obeyed the orders, and the four sects followed the rules.Shenxi has no borders, and his sect and I share the same virtue.His great-grandson Jixu enjoys the power of the gods. (Tang·He Zhizhang)] Li Shimin was even a little at a loss.

Just now, he was very serious about the miserable future generations of the Tang Dynasty, and he felt extremely sad. Suddenly, he saw these few poems describing the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, which made him unable to react at once.

Then he comforted himself that every dynasty would eventually perish, but there was no doubt that the people of the Tang Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment most of the time and lived happily.

It is extremely happy to live in prosperity every day.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty under him is still prosperous, invincible externally, and politically clear internally.

He has a great chance to change the unwillingness and regrets of future generations.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin was also extremely moved. Such a glorious and prosperous era, such a prosperous Tang Dynasty, really made people want to cry.

Such a prosperous age is not only about economic prosperity and strength, but also about the prosperity of the entire country and the coming of all nations.It is the kind of high-spirited, passionate, confident and open mentality.

This is what the Song Dynasty needs.

Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Di was also inspired by these lines of poetry, and heroic feelings surged in his chest.

With a big wave of his hand, he said: "In the future, I will be the leader of all nations, expand my borders, and unify the world!"

[Easter Egg [-]: [In Shihao Village at dusk, there are officials who catch people at night. ...Why is the official so angry!What's the trouble when a woman cries!Listen to the woman's speech: Three men garrison Yecheng.One man arrived with a letter, and the other two men died in battle. ... There is no one in the room, except for the grandson, whose mother is still there, and her skirts are endless when she comes in and out. ... I will go to the future in the morning and say goodbye to the old man alone. (Du Fu of Tang Dynasty)]

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

If the first quotation menu undoubtedly reminds everyone of the joy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, then the second easter egg is obviously a warning to everyone in the Tang Dynasty.

Where are the people?
Why are the people suffering?
The poet named Du Fu also talked about their thoughts. This man was obviously a person who cared about the country, the people, and the world.

It describes the miserable life of the people during the war and the pain of being helpless.

There was not a single young man in the entire village!

Only lonely old people and children are working hard in the fields.

How ridiculous is this?

The people pay for the mistakes of the imperial court.

The sins of the imperial court must be borne by the people.

What's wrong with the people?

Why do they have to bear everything?
[Easter Egg [-]: Humans can surpass Heaven, and that is the Dharma.If the law is great, then it is for the public and right, and if it is not for the public and it is wrong, everyone in the world will be rewarded if they follow the law, and they will be punished if they violate it. .Those who are born of governance have a clear way of human beings and know where they come from, so their virtues and resentments do not belong to heaven; those who are born of chaos have ignorant ways of people and cannot be understood, so they are lifted up by humans and returned to heaven, and they are not predetermined by heaven. (Tang·Liu Yuxi)]

This quotation easter egg instantly aroused controversy again among emperors and courtiers of various dynasties.

Qin Dynasty.

Li Si recited this content to Qin Shihuang and nodded, looking very much in agreement.

This is how it should be, the law is the system of everything, and there is no place in the world without rules.

All matters, big and small, should be carried out according to certain standards and in accordance with the law.

People who blame everything on fate are just trying to deceive superiors and seek benefits for themselves. They are all people with evil intentions!
