back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 5 A Different History
Lu Chengqi, who changed his role, quickly adapted to the role of emperor. During the period of "healing his wounds", he was almost bored in the imperial study, looking up historical books and maps, trying to find out whether he was on earth or not.

Huangtian paid off, and finally he knew the history based on some ancient books, a different history.

In this time and space, there is also the splendid Chinese civilization, as well as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, as well as various schools of thought.The Qin Dynasty was equally powerful, and the Han Dynasty was equally powerful in the desert.

But after the Jin Dynasty, history suddenly turned 180 degrees. The weak Eastern Jin Dynasty was taken advantage of by a man named Gongsun Basun to destroy the country, thus creating a huge empire with the country name "Cang". It calls itself Canglan, which means a country as boundless as white clouds.

According to historical records, Gongsun Basun was of mixed Han and Hu blood, but he was very talented. The Canglan Empire he founded, even if invaded by foreigners, still stood firm and lasted for more than 400 years.

Lu Chengqi was secretly surprised that the Canglan Empire was comparable to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was divided into the Western Han and the Eastern Han, but the Canglan Empire had never been divided.It's just that the last emperor, Gongsun Xiong, was too cruel and heartless, which aroused public resentment, so that the Lu family took advantage of it and replaced him.

In fact, the Canglan Empire should not have perished, but because of Gongsunxiong's self-willedness, some loyal officials were killed, demoted, and exiled, so that the government was controlled by a group of officials. After more than ten years, the already precarious Cang The Lan Empire was finally submerged in the torrent of history in the mighty peasant uprising.

Among the aristocratic families, the most powerful Lu family has already been training soldiers in secret.When Gongsun Xiongzhi was a great talent, he wanted to conquer the peasant uprising in one fell swoop, but he was defeated and died. He entered Beijing with five thousand soldiers and horses, took control of the capital, and laid the foundation of the Dashun Dynasty.

Afterwards, Crown Prince Lu Yun led the army to go out to appease the people with policies, and at the same time wiped out the rebel army with elite soldiers. Finally, the rebel army was defeated and incorporated at the junction of Yunnan and Tibet. Since then, there has been no war in the Dashun Dynasty.

After reading the history that was completely different from what he remembered, Lu Chengqi couldn't help feeling sad.Because the Canglan Empire emphasized martial arts and despised literature, it greatly suppressed literati, so that great writers and poets like Li Bai and Du Fu were all lost in the long river of history, and there were very few ancient classics handed down.Martial arts are just the opposite. Even now, martial arts are flourishing, and the use of swords to injure people has been repeatedly prohibited.

Such an empire lacking a spiritual foundation can last for more than four hundred years, which completely overturned Lu Chengqi's imagination and left him with a huge mess.

Fortunately, the Dashun Dynasty no longer used the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System" and used the imperial examination to select scholars, which barely awakened the almost stagnant culture. However, the court clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to discuss the affairs of the court, which greatly affected the reading of the common people. His enthusiasm, even for studying, is only for an official.Over time, there are no talented people in the imperial court, but they are all big corrupt officials who know nothing but are dictating.No matter how good the foundation of Dashun Dynasty is, how can it last in the long run!

These corrupt officials, the officials protect each other, lack the ability to do things at all, but the means of asking for money are very clever, every corpse is a vegetarian meal, if the clothes are stripped, they are obviously big moths.

Thinking of the corrupt government, Lu Chengqi couldn't help being very angry.But he has nothing to do now. First, he has no power. Second, he has no money. Third, he only has military power.

Thinking of this, a thought came to Lu Chengqi's mind: "By the way, military power!"

He slowly formed a plan in his mind, how to use military power to seize power.Since ancient times, the one with the big fist is the boss, and he doesn't believe that what kind of shit Grand Master Yang can compare to him, the emperor.

The money may not be as much as Taishi Yang, but he is the emperor and holds power in name, so naturally some people who are passionate about power flock to him and work hard for him.When the time comes, what will Taishi Yang use to argue with him?

Lu Chengqi had a deep sense of crisis. If he didn't hold the military power in his hands, he might not even have the ability to protect himself.Although the Lu family's orthodox status has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he knows that some aristocratic families want to overthrow the imperial power. Although it is not as simple as before, if several of them appear at the same time, the Lu family's status must be in jeopardy.

In fact, Lu Chengqi didn't have any ambitions at all. After all, in his previous life, reality had hit his ideals time and time again.But in this life, Lu Chengqi became the emperor, should he still compromise like before?

"No, I am the emperor, no one can defy my will!"

Lu Chengqi let out a cry from the bottom of his heart, he was determined to be an eternal emperor comparable to Liu Che and Li Shimin!
After slowly calming down his excitement, Lu Chengqi began to use his advantage of time travel to think about the future.According to the calculation of time, the time he is now should be during the Northern Song Dynasty. What happened during the Northern Song Dynasty?
It is nothing more than the fact that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun could not be taken back, and Xixia, Tupan, and Khitan surrounded the entire Song Dynasty.But this era is different. Under the strategizing of Wenzong, the second emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures not only took it back, but also drove the Khitan people to the north of the vast sea.But when the interior of the Dashun Dynasty was decaying, the grassland people once again knocked on the border, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil.

However, Xixia and Turpan do not exist in this time and space at all, and the only thing that needs to be vigilant is the hungry wolf from the grassland.Lu Chengqi will never forget that it was the Mongols who destroyed the Jurchens in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now that he has come to a different time and space, he will never let history repeat itself.Those who offend my heavenly power will be punished even if they are far away!The majestic China should let the Quartet come to congratulate!

Just when Lu Chengqi's thoughts were drifting further and further away, the door of the imperial study room was gently opened, and there was a "squeak", which woke up the pensive Lu Chengqi. When he looked up, a graceful figure came into view.

There was warmth in his heart: "Zitong, why are you so free to come and see me?"

The person who came was his queen, Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo lightly moved her lotus steps, holding a bowl of porridge, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, even if it's for the government, you should eat. If you fall ill again, what should you do?"

Lu Chengqi smiled slightly, and said, "I was thinking about something, but I didn't pay attention to it. Let's not be an example, okay?"

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Lu Chengqi drinking porridge, and a smile appeared on his peerless face: "The emperor has a golden mouth, and what he said is an imperial decree, so you have to count it!"

Lu Chengqi embraced Zhou Zhiruo's tender body, and said softly, "I will obey!"

Zhou Zhiruo looked at the maids following behind with a guilty conscience, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is in the imperial study room! Even if you want...you have to wait until night..."

Her voice was like a mosquito, if it wasn't for Lu Chengqi's close proximity, she might not have heard her, so she couldn't help laughing: "Zitong, you look so pretty with a blushing face!"

Zhou Zhiruo was too shy, broke free from his wolf's claws, and ran out of the imperial study as if fleeing.She felt her heart beating fast, and her face felt like she had a fever, but Lu Chengqi still seemed unwilling to let her go, laughing non-stop, making her run faster.

Lu Chengqi smelled the lingering fragrance in his hand, restrained his laughter, and said in his heart: "Since you become the emperor, you should do something, it can be regarded as for the Chinese nation!"

Thinking of this, his eyes changed, and he became extremely determined. He knew that if he failed to seize power, he would never have another chance in the future.

Thinking of this, he shouted: "Come here!"

Not long after, a young eunuch quickly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Lu Chengqi thought for a while, according to the TV series he had watched, combined with the YY book from the starting point, he said slowly: "Send me an order, order the imperial guards to come and see me soon!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to be negligent, and said: "Obey!" Then he bowed and exited the imperial study.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a burly figure broke into the imperial study room, and a thunderous voice startled Lu Chengqi, who was reading a book: "The head of the imperial guard, Xu Jingchun sees His Majesty!"
