All the people answer the question: an exam, the emperors all cried

Chapter 68 Learn to learn!

For Li Yuan, he didn't feel guilty at all about pulling Yang You to step down, because he was more talented than Yang You, and he could bring a rich life to the people. no longer exists.

Li Shimin walked up to Li Yuan silently, his father has never said anything since the exam, even the emperor who organized the Li Group was organized by him, but it does not mean that he is the biggest, The biggest one is of course his old man.

Seeing his son standing beside him with his head bowed, Li Yuan glanced at him, waved his hand, and signaled him not to say anything.

Li Shimin could only stand beside Li Yuan quietly, because he saw the eyes of Yang Guang and others, so he walked to his father, but his father didn't let him say anything, so he couldn't say anything.

The emperors of the large Li family group are actually very happy, because this is the beginning of their Tang Dynasty. Without Li Yuan, there would be no Tang Dynasty, and there would be no future emperors like them.

At this time, the video screen above the examination room had finished playing the era of Li Yuan, and turned to the era of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Seeing that it was Li Shimin, Ye Chen was so impressed with him that he thought he would explain it later.

The picture began to show Li Shimin's ascension to the throne. As Li Yuan's second son, in fact, his father didn't want him to be emperor from the beginning.

The original intention was that his elder brother Li Jiancheng became the crown prince, but his father kept suppressing him, so after the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Shimin forced Gong Li Yuan to abdicate. The first thing he did was to overthrow the religious policy that Li Yuan had just implemented.

At this time, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin in the picture and frowned slightly.

Originally, he had indescribable emotions towards this son. He could actually see Li Shimin's talent, but he was also afraid of Li Shimin's talent, so he made his eldest son Li Jiancheng the prince.

But he never calculated that Li Shimin would force the palace, and even made him feel that Li Shimin was using him as a negative example.

But the matter has already happened, and he is still his own son, what else can he say, if he wants to blame, he can only blame himself for not handling this matter properly.

"After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he took Sui Yangdi's refusal to admonish and subjugate the country as a precept. After he ascended the throne, he tried his best to seek advice. He expanded the power of admonishing officials and encouraged his officials to criticize his decision-making and style. The fault of Emperor Chen caused embarrassment to Li Shimin many times in the early court and made him unable to step down from power."

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty frowned when he heard it. What does it mean to take him as a warning? Lao Tzu took the throne from them, and now his son takes him as a warning. It is really bullying. Are they so easy to bully in the Sui Dynasty?

As if feeling his son's emotions, Yang Jian patted Yang Guang's shoulder with his hands, signaling him to calm down.

Seeing his father like this, Yang Guang sighed slightly in his heart. Indeed, he was also responsible for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

"On this point, all candidates should learn from Tang Taizong. As an emperor, you must put your mind at ease, that is, you must listen to other people's opinions, so that you can know where your problems are, instead of just listening to good words. Look, Emperor Taizong of Tang failed to step down many times and continued, so it is conceivable that there is a reason for loyal words."

Li Shimin smiled wryly when he heard the words. He really thought that when he encouraged the officials to criticize him, he mustered up a lot of courage. You must know that the words of these old officials can really piss people off, saying that they are encouraging them to criticize. But they didn't know how to speak, and sometimes what they said was embarrassing, and it gave him an urge to take back the fact that they were criticizing his decision-making and style.

The emperors also admired Li Shimin's approach when they heard the words, because they really needed to adjust their mentality and relax their minds to listen to Li Shimin's approach, and they would not vent their anger on those ministers.

"I didn't expect that Tang Taizong was so open-minded. Those ministers made him unable to step down, and he was not angry. His heart is not so big. Anyway, I can't do it. I can listen a little bit, so I can't get down. Taiwan, I can't bear my temper."

"Don't say it's you. I can't stand it. I admire him. Just now, I admire Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty. He was so frugal. Now there is Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. There are so many talented people."

"We can't compare, just listen and learn."

"You're right, we can't do it anymore, let's watch carefully."

The two young emperors of the Wu Dynasty began to discuss in a low voice before others noticed.

Seeing that other emperors were also discussing Li Shimin's approach, Ye Chen was comforted in his heart, and also hoped that each explanation would bring different feelings to these emperors. Thinking of this, he continued talking.

"At the same time, Li Shimin implemented the land equalization system and the adjustment of rent and mediocrity in the economy, which made it possible for farmers to stabilize their production and cultivate occasionally, which promoted economic development. , the maladministration with few people and many officials is conducive to lightening the burden on the people.”

"In the end, he treated ethnic minorities equally in terms of ethnic relations, promoting harmonious ethnic relations and great national unity."

"This is also very good. Generally speaking, what Li Shimin did during his tenure is also remarkable and worth learning."

"Let's talk about the territory expansion during Li Shimin's reign. The first is to return the Hetao area to the Tang Dynasty, and then the Monan area was merged into the Datang territory, and the Anbei Protectorate was set up there."

"It didn't take long for Tuyuhun to become a subsidiary state of the Tang Dynasty, and then Li Shimin sent troops to attack Gaochang Kingdom, and then Gaochang Kingdom was declared destroyed. Li Shimin set up the Anxi Protectorate here, and the eastern part of the Western Regions was also merged into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"In the end Li Shimin defeated the Western Turks, set up four towns in Anxi, and moved the Anxi Dufu government westward to Kucha. So far, the Western Regions have basically been incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"It can be said that the territory included in the Tang Dynasty during Li Shimin's period is still considerable, and a lot of territory has been expanded. This is done very well. Candidates can learn from Tang Taizong's policies and practices, and hope to gain good results from it."

The territory shown in the video is presented in front of the emperors one by one, and it is also the one that presents the most territory among these emperors. As the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has achieved more than Li Yuan during his reign.

It is also in response to the saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before were shot to death on the beach. Wasn't his father Li Yuan forced to abdicate?
