Chapter 58 The strategy of breaking the big food
Later generations praised and criticized Emperor Wu of Han, and it can be said that he had mixed praises and critics. Most of the people who slandered Emperor Wu of Han were pedantic people. They did not see the essence and did not understand why Emperor Wu of Han insisted on carrying out the war against the Huns to the end.
There are also many wise people in the court who know very well why Emperor Wu of Han did that. For example, Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo, they know very well that Emperor Wu of Han had to fight.
"Your Majesty is wise! I agree!" Di Renjie was very excited, took a step forward and praised him loudly.
"I'm going to discuss it." Wang Renjie, Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo agreed loudly.
Emperor Wu of Han’s martial arts was very impressive, and later generations praised it. Since this matter was established, the ministers were excited.
Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, which was an exciting event and a major event in Chinese history. More than two thousand years have passed, and modern people are also excited to mention this matter.
"Your Majesty has such ambitions, I should do my best." Di Renjie immediately expressed his support, unable to hide his excitement.
It is not easy to surpass Emperor Wu of Han’s martial arts. Looking at Chinese history, how many people can do it? This is the opportunity for a good man to make achievements and achieve great success. Who can not be excited?
Wang Xiaojie, Yao Chong, and Zhang said they were even more excited.
"Your Majesty will defeat the Turks, destroy Tubo, pacify India, conquer Pakistan and Afghanistan, and impose the martial arts of the Western Regions. If you defeat the Great Food again, it will be inevitable to surpass Hanwu." Zhang Shuo's tone was very high, his voice was a little sharp and sharp, and he could catch up with the eunuch, but he had a sense of excitement.
"That's right! That's right!" The ministers agreed in unison.
At this point, Li Longji has made great achievements in martial arts. If the Arab Empire is defeated, he will definitely surpass Emperor Wu of Han.
As for civil governance, there are two most famous ones in Chinese history, namely "Wenjing Governance" and "Zhenguan Governance". These two governances have achieved brilliant civil governance and have been remembered forever.
"Why can my ex surpass Emperor Taizong of Tang in civilized affairs? Why can't I surpass my ex?" This is what Li Longji thought. He is a modern person. It would be too embarrassing if he couldn't even surpass his ex in civilized affairs.
Later generations recognized that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had achieved more than Emperor Taizong of Tang in civil governance, which is also a fact. If he had not made the Tang Dynasty go from prosperity to decline, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would have been one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about population, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was proud of his achievements. When he succeeded to the throne, the Tang Dynasty had a population of nearly 40 million, and reached its peak in the Kaiyuan period. The population of the Tang Dynasty exceeded 70 million, nearly doubled. What an amazing achievement.
The prosperous Kaiyuan era written by the poet is "Remembering the prosperous Kaiyuan day in the past, there are still thousands of families in small towns. Rice and fat are white, and the public and private granaries are abundant. There are no jackals on the roads of Jiuzhou, and it is not a good time to travel far. Qi silk and Lu white carriages are trained, and men and women will not lose each other."
This shows how amazing the Kaiyuan prosperous era was.
"The fourth thing is to discuss a strategy to defeat the big food." Li Longji's eyes shone brightly.
"Your Majesty, if you want to defeat the great food, you must first govern the country and first eliminate the accumulated problems in the country." A minister immediately reminded him.
"That's right." Li Longji emphasized the key point and praised it, saying: "The country is not solid, the national strength is not strong, and the granaries are not solid, so it cannot defeat the big food. However, first, the strategy to defeat the big food will be discussed, and then the state affairs can be arranged, which can be passed down from generation to generation."
To eliminate the accumulated corruption and defeat the Arab Empire, these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it would be better if they are one and two, two and one.
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers also knew this.
"The eldest son of the country, Wang Renjie, Yao Zong, Zhang Shuo, and the six ministers, ministers and doctors stayed, and the rest were all gone." Li Longji waved.
The matters to be discussed this time are very confidential and cannot be known to more people. Just need the heads of various departments to come.
"Abide by the order." Although the ministers also wanted to participate, they knew about such secret matters, the fewer people knew, the better, and they had to leave. They believed that as long as Li Longji and the others discussed it, they would naturally let them know something they should know and leave with anticipation.
"Call the Ni Nie Master." Li Longji said again.
As a Persian prince, Ni Nie was responsible for inquiring about the news about the Arab Empire for the Tang Dynasty, so it was also appropriate for him to participate.
"Your Majesty, have you invited the Holy Queen and the Supreme Emperor?" Zhang Shi reminded him.
"Zhang said, don't talk nonsense." Di Renjie's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.
Although Wu Zetian and Li Dan are Li Longji's close relatives, they are not emperors after all. If they are asked to participate in the discussion, will Li Longji be displeased? If Li Longji is unhappy, they will be in trouble.
"Zhang Shuo is right, so grandmother and father should be involved." Li Longji highly agreed with what Zhang said, saying: "Although grandmother is a daughter, she is extremely talented. She looks down on the heroes and looks down on the world, which makes many men feel ashamed. Moreover, she has been in charge of the country for decades and is most clear about the domestic ills. It is necessary to ask her to participate."
Wu Zetian has been in charge of the government affairs since Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and it has been thirty or forty years now. She knows more about the accumulated traits of the Tang Dynasty than anyone else, and even Di Renjie cannot compare.
If Wu Zetian is also involved, it will be of great benefit to eliminating the accumulated problems.
As for Li Dan, he had just abdicated and was familiar with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Li Longji had not been in the country for three years and was a little unfamiliar with the national conditions, so he should be allowed to participate.
"Your Majesty is as broad as the sea!" Di Renjie was convinced and praised it sincerely.
Wu Zetian and Li Dan, these two emperors. Although they abdicated, their influence is still there. Letting them participate will weaken Li Longji's influence. Li Longji has no such concerns, but starts from the overall situation. To allow them to participate, it requires a great mind.
"Your Majesty is so envious that he is not much inferior to Emperor Taizong, and I am convinced." Wang Xiaojie and the others also praised him.
"My grandmother is old and it is not suitable to walk around, so we will go to her grandmother's bedroom. How about it?" Li Longji suggested.
"Your Majesty's filial piety can be seen by the sun and the moon. I have no objection to this proposal." No one has any objection to this proposal, because Wu Zetian is really old.
So, Li Longji led his ministers to Wu Zetian's bedroom.

"I've seen my mother." After Li Dan left the court, he went straight to Wu Zetian's bedroom. When he saw Wu Zetian, he looked happy.
Li Dan is not only a good father, but also a filial son. Now, he is no longer an emperor. He can be filial to Wu Zetian, so he naturally has to come as soon as possible.
"Lao Ba, you are here. Come, come here." Wu Zetian's kind-hearted eyes were completely different from the previous queen who was domineering and looking down on the heroes.
"Oh." Li Dan responded and quickly walked to Wu Zetian, smiling and said, "Mom, my son can be filial in the future."
"Haha." Which mother wouldn't like the son's filial piety? Wu Zetian laughed happily and held Li Dan's hand. He said with a smile: "Lao Ba, my mother is very happy, very happy."
He looked at Li Dan, nodded, and praised him, "Old Ba, to be honest, I underestimated you in the past. You are actually very wise, you can take it and let it go."
It is better to use Li Dan for being able to take it and let it go.
The throne is something that most people can take on, but they can't let it go. Wu Zetian herself is such a person. In order to become emperor, she can refuse her relatives and even dare to kill her own son.
Li Dan was able to take it and let it go. He said that abdication was abdication, which is something that not everyone could do. It can be said that there are very few people who can do this. This requires great courage and great wisdom.
"Mom, if you had your mind, there wouldn't be so many regrets." Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's eyes were filled with tears, and he said with a look of self-blame, "Whenever he dreamed of someone, that is, Xian'er. As my mother grew older, she dreamed of Xian'er more and more. Xian'er cried in the dream and asked her why she was so cruel to kill him."
The more I talked, the more sad and angry he became. He covered his face with his hands and cried, "Woooo!"
Li Xian is smart and capable, and very talented. As a mother, Wu Zetian admires it very much. It can be said that Li Xian is the one she admires the most among Wu Zetian’s sons.
However, it was precisely because Li Xian was too smart and capable that she became a stumbling block for her to become the emperor that she had to kill Li Xian cruelly. Although Wu Zetian killed Li Xian, it did not mean that she had no mother-son relationship, and she would always think of Li Xian.
Especially in recent times, as she gets older, she dreams of Li Xian more and more, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
As an old man, when he is fine, he will think of his children. Who will owe the most in his life? The one who owes the most in Wu Zetian is Li Xian, and she must have dreamed of it.
If she had Li Dan's wisdom and courage and could give up the throne, she would not have had such regrets.
"Mom, the past is gone, don't be sad." Li Xian and Li Dan hurriedly comforted each other and shed tears.
"Well." Wu Zetian nodded, grabbed the hands of the two brothers tightly, and sighed: "In this life, I can say that success is successful, and that failure is also failure. The success is that my mother becomes emperor with a daughter, looks down on the heroes, swallows up all the world, and sets a precedent for a generation. The failure is that my flesh and blood are tragic. My mother has many sons and women, and in the end, only the seventh and eighth brothers accompany her. My mother is getting older and older, and she misses her peace more and more.”
Li Xian and Li Dan missed Li Xian, the younger sister of Princess Taiping, and Li Dan. After hearing this, he could only cry.
"Old Eighth, it's better for you. The family is harmonious, the children are filial, and the mother is admiring." Wu Zetian looked at Li Dan, and his feelings increased a few points.
Among Wu Zetian's sons and daughters, the lucky one is Li Dan. Not only did he lucky enough to escape all kinds of storms, he could not say that he could end up in good health. His family was very harmonious and his children were filial, so there was no such thing as flesh and blood.
Others can kill each other for the throne. However, Li Dan's family is for the sake of the throne, respect and humility of each other, and Li Chengqi takes the initiative to resign as the crown prince.
If you look through history books, you can't find many records.
"Grandmother, Your Majesty is here." Li Chongrun hurriedly came to report.
"What? Sanlang? What did he come to do?" Wu Zetian was shocked and puzzled.
