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

Chapter 98 This is really the shame of the Tang Dynasty!

Twenty-five years after it opened, Concubine Wu Hui's son-in-law Yang Hui joined forces with Concubine Wu and decided to falsely accuse brothers Li Ying, Li Yao and Li Ju again, claiming that these three people often conspired together and were most likely intending to rebel.

Li Longji was furious when he learned about it and summoned the prime ministers to discuss it.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling had already left the court because of his old age.

Li Linfu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, chose to sit on the sidelines on the grounds that "this is a family matter for His Majesty this year."

In the end, Li Longji demoted the three brothers to common people and exiled them to Jinzhou, where they died in Chengdong Station soon after.

However, the deaths of Li Ying and three other brothers were only the prelude to the battle for the throne.

Later, in the 11th year of Tianbao, two favored concubines of the prince Li Yan competed for favor. One of them listened to the wizard and put two talismans in Li Yan's shoes. Li Yan himself wore these shoes without knowing it. Shoes go to court every day to pay homage.

After his enemies got the news about the talisman, they decisively reported to the emperor that Li Yan went to court wearing shoes with talismans hidden in them and was cursing the emperor's death!

So Xuanzong took advantage of Li Yan's opportunity to go to court and asked his chamberlain to take off his shoes, and sure enough he found a talisman hidden inside!
Although it was later found out that Princess Wei and two concubines were responsible, Xuanzong was still suspicious of his son and ordered him to be imprisoned.

Li Yan, who was finally imprisoned, died in worry day and night.

After the deaths of Li Yan and others, Concubine Wu Hui also died of illness soon after, and Li Longji posthumously named her Queen Zhenshun.

Faced with the early deaths of his sons and wives, Li Longji decided next.One: Change your attitude towards your son.Two: Treat your son as always, but continue to work hard in government affairs.Three: Stay true to your son, slow down the handling of court affairs, and take more rest.

Li Shimin's fingers moved slightly, causing his body to tremble unconsciously.

She wished that time had stopped at this moment. Li Longji had obviously embarked on a path of no return!

He wished he had chosen the wrong one, but he chose three anyway.

The miracles still continue.

[The elderly Li Longji believed that he had worked hard and worked hard to govern the Tang Dynasty to great prosperity. He was already old and it was time to enjoy life. 】

[So he began to ignore government affairs and enjoy himself all day long, leaving many government affairs to Prime Minister Li Linfu. 】

[Of course, if he could bring the Tang Dynasty to a powerful stage, he would not be stupid enough to delegate all the power. He would still go through important court affairs, and in the end the power would still be firmly in his hands. 】

[However, this is what Li Longji thinks. So, is this really the case? 】

[Li Longji’s behavior actually led to extremely disastrous consequences. 】

[Li Linfu is a person who only cares about his own interests. Although he has some talents, he has bad conduct and is a complete flatterer. Li Longji is greedy for pleasure and wants to spend his old age relaxed and happy, so Li Linfu becomes extremely pandering. Li Longji, help him enjoy himself better. 】

[As a result, Li Linpu, who was deeply favored by Li Longji, became more important, and the change in the emperor's attitude naturally led to more and more villains in the court who were willing to flatter and flatter people. Those who paid attention to people's livelihood and practical matters There are fewer and fewer ministers. 】

[They are all willing to make Li Longji happy easily and get money and official positions themselves. As for the people?They were ignored. 】

[In addition, Li Linfu wanted to better consolidate his power.He began to reduce the number of children from Han families entering the court as officials, and began to promote Hu people to official positions. In his opinion, these unscrupulous people would not be recognized without his help, so they could only obey his words obediently. Can be his right-hand man. 】
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.Li Shimin's eyes suddenly darkened.Maybe the miracle evaluation is really correct and he has some ability, but his ability is not very good and his conduct is not good.

There is nothing wrong with appointing Hu people, but it depends on who implements the policy!

There are also many outstanding people among the Hu people, such as Li Shimin's subordinates.

But only if you can control it!

They are impressed by you from the bottom of their hearts and are willing to be loyal and devoted to you!
Today, Li Longji is greedy for pleasure and ignores government affairs. Li Linfu is extremely selfish and not very capable.

Even though the Tang Dynasty is still in its prime, there are hidden dangers one after another. In addition, the local governments are becoming more and more powerful, and there are also border issues and land issues that the Tang Dynasty had at that time.

One hidden danger after another continues to increase and expand, but no attempt is made to solve it. Even if the Tang Dynasty is in its heyday, what should it do?

What direction will it take in the future?
[Officials understood Shang's intention and naturally wanted to let the emperor relax. Relaxation must be more than just fun. 】

[If there is no play with beautiful women, can it be called play?Concubine Wu Hui and Li Longji both had four sons and three daughters. The third son, Li Chang, ranked eighteenth, was classified as the longevity king. 】

[In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, Li Chang married Yang Yuhuan as Princess Shou. The couple played harmoniously and loved each other. They also lived by the rules and always acted within the limits prescribed by Li Longji to avoid his doubts. Although it is dull, it is extremely happy. 】

[However, in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, when Concubine Wu Hui passed away and Li Longji was depressed, someone said: "Concubine Shou has a thousand styles and is so charming, so Yang Yuhuan was recalled to the palace by Li Longji."

[In the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji ordained Yang Yuhuan as a female Taoist priest in the name of praying for blessings from Tang Xuanzong’s mother, Queen Mother Dou, with the Taoist name Taizhen. 】

[In the fourth year of Tianbao, Li Longji probably thought that these few years were enough to hide his eyes from others, so he recalled Yang Yuhuan to the palace and made her a noble concubine. In order to compensate his son, he gave him the new concubine Longevity. 】
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Even someone like Li Shimin, who doesn't attach great importance to the harem, doesn't feel a little disgusted at this moment. His future great-grandson has actually fallen to this level?

Stealing someone else's wife is already very unscrupulous, let alone your own daughter-in-law!

This is really the shame of the Tang Dynasty!

Changsun Wuji obviously noticed more at this time: "Your Majesty, if the descendants of the imperial concubine's mother's family are the same people who flatter and deceive superiors and subordinates, our Tang Dynasty will be in danger!" "

[Now that Yang Guifei has been established, Li Longji has begun to provide many conveniences to the Yang clan. 】

[In the seventh year of Tianbao, Yang Guifei's brother was appointed to fifteen official positions by Li Longji and became an important minister of the imperial court. 】

[Subsequently, Li Longji gave him the name Guozhong, which was Yang Guozhong. 】

[In the tenth year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong recommended Xianyu Zhongtong as the commander-in-chief and attacked Nanzhao, but was defeated miserably. 】

[At this time, Li Longji decided.One: No longer believe Yang Guozhong, think about how to deal with the issue of whether the court and the army will fight again.Two: I still believe in Yang Guozhong, but I feel that he may only be good at government affairs and not suitable for military affairs. I am looking for others to discuss this matter.Three: I believe that Yang Guozhong still lets him handle many things and delegates power to himself. 】
