Myriad Worlds Steals Food, And Queen Chang Sun Falls In Love With Taking Selfies

If going to Yangzhou is called extravagant and lustful, what should we say about Emperor Qianlong's seven visits to the south of the Yangtze River?

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the common people were in dire straits, and the fundamental reason was actually the gentry and clans working behind the scenes.

They levied excessive taxes on their own territory, and then put all the blame on Emperor Sui Yang.

Anyway, the common people have never read books and know nothing. However, the gentry headed by the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames represent scholars, represent the world's tongue, and control the direction of public opinion.

So the Sui Dynasty II died.

Li Shimin saw this clearly. In the early stage, he hoped to win over the five surnames and Qi Wang through marriage to achieve political balance. Unfortunately, the other party was so crazy that he could not even look down on the royal family.

Therefore, Li Shimin used the Longyou Xungui Group, a new aristocratic group, to fight against the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

At the same time, he also used the internal contradictions among the five surnames and Qi Wang to differentiate them to a certain extent.

Under this circumstance, the imperial examination system was reopened, injecting a third force into the imperial court.

Such a political game, with the wisdom of the 30th eldest grandson Queen, naturally saw it very clearly.

Therefore, if his son inherits the throne in the future, if he is smart enough, he should continue according to Li Shimin's ideas.

After decades of hard work, when the three political forces of the poor families, the Longyou Group and the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames reach a balance, they will be able to completely control the current situation.

It was obvious that his son was stupid, and the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames took advantage of the matter of establishing the Queen, which became an opportunity to attack the Longyou Group.

With the exile of Changsun Wuji, the Longyou Xungui Group also completely lost its original position in the Great Tang Dynasty.

Many films and TV dramas of later generations glorified Li Zhi and Wu Zetian as representatives who stand up for the poor and win over the world like dragons.

Bullshit!

Was everyone like a dragon during Wu Zetian's time?

In a way, they are losers in political struggles.

Because triangles are the most stable.

Among the triangles, the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames are the most powerful. During the period of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, the Longyou Group seemed powerful, but in fact it had insufficient foundation.

What needs to be done at this time is to let the Longyou Group and the children from poor families unite to fight against the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames.

Only when the poor families rise completely can a truly balanced political ecology be formed.

But Li Zhi was too hasty.

After the Longyou Group was completely destroyed, the terror of the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames began to slowly erupt again, and the remaining poor families were completely helpless.

Wu Zetian Late Stage is just struggling to support.

Why did she appoint cruel officials? It was because at this time, normal political methods could no longer restrain the gentry group headed by Wu Wang and Twenty.

Later, Wu Zetian was overthrown again by the aristocratic family headed by Wuwangqi in his later years.

From then on, until the end of the Great Tang Dynasty, the politics of the entire Tang Dynasty was actually monopolized in the hands of the gentry headed by the five surnames.

Although separated by time and space, Empress Changsun could still imagine how turbulent and turbulent the Empress was when she deposed Wang Li.

And his stupid son obviously couldn't see the deep-seated game behind this.

Beauty drove him to his head.

Couldn't he see that his eldest brother Sun Wuji was being framed?

Of course Li Zhi can tell! But it doesn't matter whether it's a frame-up or not!

He needed an excuse to attack Changsun Wuji in order to weaken the Longyou Group.

Li Zhi in history only wanted to weaken the power of the Longyou Group, not to truly destroy the Longyou Group. He also understands the principle of balancing the three. He still has this basic political wisdom.

That's why in July of the same year, he had to review Changsun Wuji's rebellion.

It's just that things were out of his control. Qiwang, the fifth surname, took the lead and forced Changsun Wuji to death. The political balance between the three pillars was completely broken.

Empress Changsun also saw clearly Li Zhi's thoughts at that time through time and space, and she also knew very well why Li Zhi lost his temper?

Because Li Zhi never realized which pole of the three pillars was the most powerful.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei sometimes seems to have weakened in power, but in fact that is just an illusion. He has always been the strongest among the Three Kingdoms.

The Five Hopes and Seven Surnames have been around for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty, and there have been times when they appeared to be weak during this period, but that is all an illusion. In fact, they have always been strong.

It's just that they sometimes deliberately show weakness to the enemy, but both Li Zhi and Empress Wu were fooled, thinking that the opponent was really weak.

This made Empress Changsun sigh and said: "Alas! My third son is not smart enough after all, and his political wisdom is not enough!"

"You are not ruthless enough, but you are able to be ruthless to my mother's family, and you have the heart of an emperor."

"But you are ruthless enough, and you are manipulated by a little woman. You can't pass the test of beauty."

"You really disappoint my mother!"

"When you should be cruel, you are not cruel; when you shouldn't be cruel, you are cruel!"

"And regardless of family ties, he forced his own uncle to death and exiled my eldest grandson's family."

"That's great! You beast, since you don't care about family ties, don't blame me for being cruel to your mother. 647"

"You rebellious son, don't blame me for cutting off the mother-son bond with you."

(Some readers said that Li Zhi was a wise king, so why did Queen Changsun call him a beast and a traitor? I did not say that Li Zhi was a foolish king, but it is certain that Li Zhi's political wisdom was not enough. And regardless of whether he was a wise king or not, But in the eyes of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, he almost lost Li Tang's kingdom, that is, he was a beast and a traitor.)

At this moment, Queen Changsun had already determined not to give birth to Li Zhi.

In his opinion, among his three sons, Li Zhi is the most rebellious and the most unforgivable.

Because he lacks political wisdom, is greedy for beauty, and has a soft ear. He is cruel when he shouldn't be cruel, and he is not cruel when he should be.

In some ways, he is very similar to King Zhou. It's just that Li Zhi was weak and sick, and he died before he could ruin the country.

After calming down, Empress Changsun sent a message back to Du Yu: "Thank you, sir, for your teachings, which have solved many of my doubts."

"At the same time, I hope that you will not hesitate to give me some advice. How can we, the Tang Dynasty, avoid this inevitable situation? How can we save the Tang Dynasty from the fire and water?"

"Besides, do you think my eldest son still needs to be rescued?"

"How can we save him and teach him to become a wise king?"
