Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 135 I created Zhenguan only for future generations
The millennium Tang Dynasty stands proudly in the east.

The galaxy is shining, and the imperial city is majestic.

This is the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Shimin, how many dynasties have changed, and how many emperors can reach his chastity and prosperity.

The host, Lin Feng, looked at the heroic emperor opposite, and said, "Back then, if you hadn't launched the Xuanwumen Incident, would this ancient eastern land have fallen into war again?"

Audiences,"……"

Everyone is a little confused.

Few people could understand the meaning hidden in Lin Feng's words.

"meeting!"

"If I die at the Xuanwu Gate, the world will surely be in chaos again!"

Li Shimin's eyes changed, sharp as a knife, staring at Gao Tian, ​​as if two substantive gazes wanted to split the night.

"The Great Tang established the country, and I participated in [-]% of the wars. The reputation of the King of Qin is known to everyone, and everyone respects it."

"Once I die, some of the fierce generals who follow me will surely rebel, and some will retreat in discouragement. More generals and talents will be liquidated and die."

"Half of the Tang Dynasty has fallen, those ambitious aliens who have finally put down the rebellion, will they wait?"

"Tubo, Turkic, Goryeo, Tuoba, etc., must make waves."

"Who else can command? How many other generals can go to war?"

"I'm not dead, no one dares to make a mistake!"

Thoughtful and extremely domineering words, yes, as long as Li Shimin is alive, which foreign enemy is not afraid, day and night?

Why can there be the rule of chastity?
just because.

Datang.

There was a Taizong.

This dialogue between ancient and modern times separated by thousands of years continues.

The viewers who watched the program were shocked by Li Shimin's words, and in the time and space thousands of years later, there were many discussions.

"The domineering side leaks!"

"A man like this, die with no regrets!"

"I just found out today that the Xuanwu Gate's change was actually a scene where father and son turned against each other."

"Hahaha, people don't care how the future generations evaluate it."

"This is the real strategist general in history! He has a strategic strategy in his chest, has a far-sighted vision, and his talent surpasses the sky, beyond ordinary people."

"That's right. A Tang Taizong who can be ranked first in the list of Chinese emperors should be upright and proud of everything."

"Using the identity of a modern ordinary person to see an emperor who was thousands of years ago is really stupid."

"Historical figures have made great achievements, and there are always two parts: brilliance and darkness. We idiots, how dare we make unreasonable comments on Li Shimin."

"As the so-called Emperor Qin, Hanwu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, this is an emperor who can be ranked third in the long years of China's dynasties changing for thousands of years. Looking at history, there are actually not many people who are truly qualified to evaluate."

"I just want to know, who is this actor? Am I a fan?"

"+1."

……

The back garden of the ancient Chang'an imperial city.

Lin Feng continued, "Second question, my junior, among the more than [-] emperors in Chinese history, in your mind, if you rank them in terms of martial arts and martial arts, how can you rank them?"

Li Shimin was taken aback.

Obviously, he did not expect that Lin Feng would ask such a question.

After the Tang Dynasty.

There are also many dynasties.

In order to let Li Shimin know, Lin Feng activated the "master skill" to turn decay into magic.

Gently tap the table, and the wine glass reflects the image, reflecting the emperor's information such as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It was like a scene of the means of the gods.

Li Shimin showed a rather shocked expression.

But in the end it was the emperor who stood high above him. Not long after, he drank another glass of turbid wine and said with a smile, "The first one should be the first emperor, who wiped out the six kingdoms, unified China, and his achievements will be passed on for generations to come."

Lin Feng asked again, "What about the second one?"

Li Shimin didn't answer, but asked instead, "You come from a thousand years later, how do you evaluate the ranking?"

Lin Feng said simply, "Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu!"

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

Li Shimin joked, "Actually, Qin Emperor Tang Zong, Han Wu Song Zu are also good, what do you think?"

To be honest, there are not many emperors at the same level as Li Shimin in the history of China. If you remove Xia Yu, Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu whose too long historical records have been mixed with myths and legends.

Qin Shihuang: There are quite a few people who burn books and confuse Confucianism!
Liu Bang: Xiang Yu arrested his father and Liu Bang rescued his father by talking trash, which is not a good reputation.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: a warning to halve the household registration and a warning to use force.

Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty: The main meteorite escape is too prominent. . .

Kublai Khan: Yuan's bloodthirsty, he and Temujin have been sprayed.

Zhu Yuanzhang: It seems that killing heroes indiscriminately is not a good evaluation.

Huang Taiji: The hiccup was too sudden. . .

……

Both Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were talented and generous emperors, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

As for who is better?
I am afraid that the benevolent see the wisdom.

Lin Feng asked the third question, saying:

"Emperor Taizong, as the saying goes, "The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great." Why do you have such a tolerant attitude towards foreign races? After all, before the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains regime fought against the nomadic regime for thousands of years. You will live and die."

For the sake of the northern line, Daqin continued to build the Great Wall, and sent Meng Tian to lead the army, so that the Xiongnu would not dare to go south and herd horses.

In order to clear the northwest, the great Han took Wei Qinghuo Qubing as the commander in chief, so there was a good talk about confining wolves to Xuxu.

Even Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, wishing to turn the foreign race into ashes.

When Tang Xuanzong came to power.

Adopting an inclusive policy, he was honored by all major alien races, and even gained the reputation of "Heavenly Khan".

"Zhen, do you really tolerate those alien races with minority regimes?" Li Shimin showed a teasing smile.

"You are respected by them as the "Heavenly Khan", and all nations come to court and bow their heads to worship, isn't it?" Lin Feng said.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I have never really tolerated them."

As soon as this word comes out.

Not only Lin Feng was stunned, but the big guys who watched the show were also collectively shocked. What does it mean?
You "Heavenly Khan", have you not sincerely tolerated the regimes of those small foreign countries?
Isn't that what the history books say?
Seeing Lin Feng's stunned expression, Li Shimin said again:
"I have issued two edicts. The first is that the people of Rong and Di have a beast's heart. Once they are slightly unhappy, they will backfire."

"The second oracle is that this barbarian refuses to obey the king, so he can be killed."

"So, Datang has always been famous for "tolerating" the barbarians, but this "tolerance", you should know..."

Unspoken.

Why does Tang Dynasty tolerate your small foreign countries?You have to submit, you have to pay tribute every year, and you have to attach yourself to the Celestial Dynasty.

If someone dares to be greedy and alienated, the so-called "tolerance", that is, it is a great iron ride, trampling a foreign land.

Two people separated by more than 1000 years continued to talk about this topic.

According to Li Shimin, the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibited Hu people from marrying Han women, prohibited Hu people from living with Han people, and prohibited Hu people from pretending to be Han people. There were also slaves in the Tang Dynasty, all of whom were of different races.

Only the kingdoms of heaven can be superior to others, and the rest are all barbarians.

On the issue of Yi and Di, the Tang Dynasty mostly settled political accounts.But this does not mean that they are taken advantage of by "people who are stupid and get money quickly". Based on practical needs, they occasionally calculate economic accounts.

For example, "Han women" were rare as a scarce resource of the Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued an edict, "Those who marry a Han woman as a concubine shall not be returned to the Tibetans." Foreigners who came to the Tang Dynasty were allowed to marry a woman from the Tang Dynasty as a concubine. But it is not allowed to take it out of the Tang Dynasty.

of course.

The founders of the Tang Dynasty adopted a policy of compatibility with foreign cultures.There is an attitude of acceptance towards foreign ideas and cultures.

Li Shimin finally said: "Since ancient times, China has been valued and barbarians have been despised. I love them all."

It can be seen that, as the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his attitude directly determines this policy.

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly said, "Emperor Taizong, the so-called tolerant decree is more than that?"

"well said!"

Li Shimin cast an admiring look, and said openly, "During the Han Dynasty, someone once said a domineering cry, "Everything the sun and moon shine on is Han soil, and wherever the rivers and rivers are, they are all Han officials."

"Those alien lands are also in the area illuminated by the sun and the moon, and should also belong to Huaxia."

"If I have the family background of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I will expand my territory infinitely."

"I worked hard to create a prosperous age of Zhenguan in order to accumulate strength for the descendants of the Li family. I believe that one day, among the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, there will be people who are as talented as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They use my savings to conquer the Quartet and expand the territory.”

"From then on, there are no more nations to enshrine, but the Chinese family stands proudly."

Who would have thought.

This General Tiance, who once became famous at a young age, has such a far-sighted vision.

Unfortunately.

Among the later descendants of the Tang Dynasty, there was only one Tang Xuanzong, who was still a king with mixed reputations.
