In the live broadcast room.
The audience heard that Li Shimin had exterminated the Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and other countries during his reign.
In addition to the phrase 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it', Li Shimin's impression of him had changed.
First of all, it was one of the greatest honors for the emperors of the past dynasties to be able to destroy the nomadic countries on the grasslands.
Moreover, a person who could say that water could carry a boat and also capsize it was at least an emperor who understood the sufferings of the people.
"F * ck, to be able to say such a thing, one must have a lot of understanding of the people!”
"Yes! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such simple words!”
"Furthermore, the phrase 'use copper as a mirror to straighten one's clothes and hats; Take history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall of the country; Take people as a mirror, we can understand the gains and losses. In just twenty-four words, he had expressed all the simple principles!”
“……”
Even the female host beside Jiang Yuan was shocked.
The meaning of these words was simple.
However, how many people in power could understand the meaning of these words?
How many people could do it?
At this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast started to look forward to Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min didn't seem to be that bad, right?
Franklin, who was originally waiting to see Jiang Yuan make a fool of himself, had a dark expression on his face.
He was a little surprised.
"How is that possible? How could a scum like Li Shiming, who took over his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, who killed his brother and forced his father to do so, have such great achievements and say such words?”
If these words were said by the other emperors, Franklin, as a professor, would still believe them.
But who was Li Shi Min?
The throne was not properly obtained.
After the Black Tortoise Sect's palace coup, not only did he kill the children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but he also killed the children of the two brothers.
He even took his wife.
Looking at Franklin's dark face, Jiang Yuan could not help but shake his head.
Sometimes, arrogance and prejudice were the biggest problems for humans.
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Yuan's soft and magnetic voice came out of his mouth again.
"Due to the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population decreased sharply. In the second year of Zhenguan, the population of the Tang Dynasty was only 2.9 million.”
"After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he often used the death of the Sui Dynasty as a warning. He paid attention to restraining his desires and instructed his subjects not to stop remonstrating for fear that the emperor would be unhappy.”
"In politics, let bygones be bygones, know people well, listen to advice, and rectify the administration of officials.
In terms of economy, he advocated frugality and was cautious in government affairs. He also worked hard to revive culture and education, so that the turbulent situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty could be stabilized.”
"At the same time, Li Er attached great importance to the clarity of the administration of officials. He once ordered Fang Xuanling to eliminate redundant personnel and sent Li Jing and 13 other ambassadors to patrol the country to investigate the reputation.”
"Inwardly, we will revitalize the economy and pay attention to agriculture, fish, and mulberry. Gradually, the people will live and work in peace and contentment.”
"During the Zhenguan period, under Li Shimin's rule, society was clean and the doors were not closed at night.
According to the incomplete records of the Old Book of Tang, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, there were only twenty-nine prisoners sentenced to death in the country.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the number of prisoners sentenced to death increased to 290.
At the end of the year, Li Shimin allowed them to go home to settle their funeral affairs and wait until the autumn of the following year before returning to die.
In the autumn of the second year, all 290 prisoners returned. None of them escaped!
From this, it could be seen that under Li Shimin's governance, it was enough to be called a prosperous era!“
Jiang Yuan's sonorous and powerful voice sounded.
The minds of the audience went blank.
After being stunned for a few seconds, countless bullet comments exploded in the live broadcast room!
"F * ck! Is this true? There are only 29 death row prisoners in a year!”
"Moreover, the 200 people who came later actually returned to die in the autumn of the second year of the following year. How clean and honest must the government be to have such a social atmosphere!”
"The night is not closed, the road is not picked up, and the politics are clear. Is this still the Tang Dynasty I remember?”
At this moment.
A large number of bullet comments appeared in the live broadcast room.
They were all surprised by the deeds of the criminals that Jiang Yuan had just mentioned.
There were more than 290 people who kept their word. After returning home for the New Year, they would reunite with their families for half a year before returning to die.
Even now, it felt ridiculous.
However, under Li Shiming's rule, this was indeed achieved.
It was enough to praise the prosperous scene.
"Even if Li Shi Min became the ruler of the country after he ascended the throne, he still had to pay tribute to the Turkic Jie Li Khan in order to make peace with the Turks. This was the most notorious alliance in history!”
"If there is any rebellion within, we will strike hard, but the foreign tribes will be submissive.”
Franklin said with a face full of unwillingness.
He did not believe that an emperor who could be considered a scumbag could actually manage the country in an orderly manner.
As expected.
Just as Franklin was about to retort, netizens began to leave comments in the live broadcast room.
"Hehe…I can tell that he's just bragging. Who doesn't cherish their lives? If they were given half a year of vacation, would there be anyone who would obediently go back and die?”
"That's right. I thought Jiang Yuan had some ability before, but it seems that he was just blindly praising him.”
"Zhenguan's rule? I think Li Shimin probably gave it to the Turks.”
“……”
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the mocking comments.
"People's impression of Li Shiming only stopped at the alliance at Weishui River, except for the fact that he killed his brother and forced his father.”
"But how many people know about the alliance at Weishui River? Not only was it not Li Shiming's humiliating history, but it was also one of his most glorious moments!”
"There is no one who claims to be a subject and pays tribute, bowing to Jie Li Khan. In the end, the Turkic Khagan didn't gain anything. Instead, he gave Li Shiming a bunch of gifts.”
(PS: The alliance at Weishui River had always been written as Li Shimin's humiliating history in Feilu. In fact, the alliance at Weishui River showed Li Shimin's amazing courage, boldness and wisdom. It was his glorious moment.) All readers, please search the alliance of Weishui River on Baidu.）
"When the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands arrived at the bank of the Wei River, Li Shimin only led a few generals to the meeting. He used a trick to deceive the Jie Li Khan so that he wouldn't know what was going on in Chang 'an.”
"That's why they killed the white horse at the bank of Weishui River and formed an alliance.”
"But Li Shi Min naturally didn't forget this grudge. Instead, he constantly reminded himself and all the officials of the imperial court!”
"Thus, after three or four years of peaceful development, Li Jing was ordered to send troops to the north to challenge the Eastern Turks 'dominance in East Asia.
Under Li Jing's command, the Tang army had destroyed the Eastern Turks, and Li Shimin was thus honored as the Heavenly Khan by the countries of the Western Regions.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded the border. Taizong sent Li Jing, Hou Junji, Wang Daozong and others to attack. The next year, Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan fled into the desert and was later killed by his countrymen. Taizong established another king of Tuyuhun.
Zhenguan thirteen years, because Gaochang Wang Qu Wentai rebelled against the Southern Tang Dynasty, so ordered Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and other people to lead troops to attack Gaochang.
The following year, Qu Wentai died of illness, and his son Qu Zhisheng Caiying surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
The Anxi Protectorate had been established in Jiaohe, the capital of Gaochang, and all the countries of the Western Regions had come to Chang 'an to pay tribute. This had allowed the Great Tang's prestige to spread to Arabia and even further into the Mediterranean, Persia, and other countries!”
"To this day, we can find evidence of Great Tang merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions in the scriptures of the Persian countries.”
Jiang Yuan stopped talking.
When Li Shimin was in power, the Tang Dynasty was indeed prosperous and the country's prestige spread far and wide.
The merchants who traveled the furthest even traveled to the Mediterranean Sea along the reopening of the ancient Silk Road.
When the audience heard Jiang Yuan's story, they could not help but gasp.
Where is Persia?
That was the Mediterranean Sea!
