Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"This Kaiyuan period can be compared with the prosperous period of our Han Dynasty." Liu Bei commented.

Naturally, there is no mention of the phrase "Wen Jing Sheng Shi" in the "Han Shu" written by Mr. Ban.

But for all the Han people present, the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan reign was not much different from our Han Dynasty's Wenjing Dynasty.

After all, everyone in the class has remembered that during the reign of Wenjing, there was so much money in the capital that the ropes used to thread the money were rotten and difficult to count, and the corn in Taicang was so full that it overflowed until it became stale and inedible.

It's not much different from Kaiyuan's rice, which is fat and white.

As for the so-called two most severe prosperous ages, there must be a place for us in the prosperous age of Han culture and scenery! Everyone believed it.

Jian Yong had the most flexible mind and laughed:

"Since the young Xuanzong can judge the prosperity of the world based on Kaiyuan, then our Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, whose outstanding martial arts for more than 20 years from Jianyuan to Yuanshou can be said to have governed the world."

"Calculated in this way, our Han Dynasty lasted for nearly a hundred years from Emperor Xiaowen to Yuanshou for six years. It can be said that we set an example in a prosperous age."

Everyone nodded together, but Zhang Fei, with a confident look on his face, had a different opinion:

"If you say you can set an example in the prosperous times, I will definitely be my eldest brother in the future!"

Liu Bei looked at his third brother and his expression softened.

I patted this big man on the shoulder, and the little things he once lived under the influence of others emerged in my eyes.

His ambition was not changed when he was resurrected, and he could not change his direction when he led his people across the river. Perhaps it was this persistence that seemed ridiculous to others that moved Kong Ming, who was known as Wolong. Later, he was favored by future generations, and it was thanks to God's power that they knew about it for thousands of years. The rise and fall of things can be attributed to the science of later generations.

Looking up at the majestic scene in the light curtain with all the nations dressed in robes and hats, Liu Bei also solemnly said:

"I'm not asking for orders from the princes, but actually entrusted by the people."

"I don't ask for Qianqiu's fame, but I only hope that Yan Han will rise again."

"Traitors and sycophants should be killed, virtuous people should be put to use, there is a comprehensive way to help the world and the people, and there is a way to rejuvenate the country and stabilize the state."

"What we wish for, we dare not not do our best."

Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Jian Yong and others all accepted the order, and even Zhang Fei and Ma Chao solemnly said yes.

Lu Su was led to his feet, and he saw everyone around him acting like Liu Bei. Only he didn't know how to deal with himself, so he could only say in the end:

"Today we learn about Xuande Gong Hongzhi."

Liu Bei chuckled. This smile diluted the solemnity in the hall a lot, and then he pointed out:

"When Zi Jing knows the immensity of the universe, he will be our comrade."

Looking at Liu Bei's demeanor, Lu Su couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart. Fortunately, Xuande Gong also had a gentleman's style and did not push forward. Lu Su also responded gracefully:

"Su Bi will be waiting for you."

To be honest, after seeing this scene of light and listening to Pang Shiyuan's brief account of the changes in the dynasty over the past few hundred years, Lu Su recalled the letters Kong Ming had written to him in the past few years, and he had a lot of suspicions in his mind.

He still remembered that Kong Ming had solemnly said in a letter that there was neither Fairy Chang'e nor a Jade Rabbit on the moon, and several letters had glowing words about the topic of "a gentleman is good at fake things."

Lu Su once thought that the so-called good deeds were just to make the armor stronger and the weapons more powerful. After all, the soldiers hammered by the police were quite famous in Jiangdong.

For this reason, what Lu Su asked for when making another agreement with Guan Yu was Jingzhou's iron smelting method, but now it seems that his guess was too conservative.

Could it be that Kong Ming and others have used the light curtain to glimpse the mysteries of the sun, moon and stars?

At this moment, Lu Su actually felt a little envious.

Kong Ming and Pang Tong looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

[Some people say that Wu Zetian used her own selfishness to block the possibility of all subsequent women to become emperor.

In fact, it is not so much that Awu blocked the way for women to become emperors, but that it was Awu who demonstrated the dilemma of women becoming emperors and gave a wake-up call to those who came after.

Three hundred years after Wu Zetian's death, the Queen Mother Liu E wore a dragon robe and accepted the title of Holy Emperor Queen Mother proposed by the ministers and Song Renzong.

A few years later, the Prime Minister of the palace, Fang Zhonggong, asked Liu E to "tell the story of the queen of martial arts", but in the end Liu E rejected the proposal, leaving a situation where the master and ministers were enjoying themselves.

Although later history books often compared Empress Lu, Wu Zhao, and Liu E, in fact, the governing styles and problems faced by these three female politicians were completely different, especially Awu and Awu who were closer in time. Liu E can be said to be completely opposite.

In fact, even if her identity as a woman is removed, Wu Zetian may still be the most high-profile among all the emperors in ancient times.

She changed the names of three provinces and six ministries, she frequently changed the Yuan Dynasty's amnesty, she could force the death of her own children and grant the death of her grandchildren, she could use cruel officials to openly exclude dissidents, and she could also use all the wealth of a country for her own use.

Wu Zetian's ruling career was characterized by ruthlessness. The entire empire was like a plaything in her hands.

Liu E was the complete opposite. She came from a humble background and was still able to study diligently. History books concluded that she had "Lu Wu's talent but not Lu Wu's evil".

He is simple by nature and never extravagant. He treats people kindly but is not vicious. He has almost never used physical means to attack political opponents in his life, which is in sharp contrast to Awu.

Moreover, some of the measures taken during the administration were basically measures that actually benefited the country and the people.

If Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty forced the emperor to become a Zen emperor due to his record of pulling his hips, ending the imperial emperor's case can be regarded as an achievement in his career.

So another major achievement of Song Zhenzong should be his unswerving marriage to the queen Liu E.

When Zhenzong was still alive, in order to be able to become a Zen monk, he imitated Wu Zetian and compiled auspicious signs, and created a book of gods and men bestowing heaven on them to engage in feudal superstition.

In the ten years after the Chanyuan Alliance, the Liao Kingdom received a large sum of annual coins every year, while watching the Song Dynasty overhaul its palaces and temples to pray for the coming of the Book of Heaven, just like watching a fool deceiving himself.

Ten years later, Zhenzong finally passed away. The first thing Liu E did after coming to power was to order all the "Heavenly Books" in the country to be collected and buried with Zhenzong, which put an end to this nonsense farce.

In addition, curbing party strife, building water conservancy projects, establishing admonition schools, and establishing prefectural schools were all tangible achievements made by Liu E when he came to power.

The only thing that remains to be discussed is probably the issue of Jiaozi.

In the second year of the imperial dynasty, due to the huge mess left by Zhenzong, redundant soldiers and officials, and the need to send new coins to the Liao Kingdom, with Liu E's nod, the Yizhou Jiaoziwu Issue was established in Yizhou. banknotes.

From a historical perspective, it indeed promoted the development of paper currency.

But judging from the actual situation at that time, ancient officials did not even understand the physical currency system, let alone a credit currency system like Jiaozi.

After Jiaozi was brought under official control, he quickly issued excessive amounts of money and eventually turned Jiaozi into a waste paper after harvesting the people's wealth. This in turn aggravated the economic problems of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But overall, with the lessons learned from Empress Lu and Wu Zetian, Liu E's point has won her a pretty good reputation behind her, which is also the biggest difference from Wu Zetian.

As for the Empress Dowager Cixi who later issued a "declaration of war on all nations" in the Qing Dynasty, she can be compared with these three.

After all, it would be difficult for an illiterate female to talk to three other female politicians. 】
