What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

"Today we are going to the Xingling Mausoleum of the Queen of Jinzhou, Li Mingzhu. This queen is a legendary figure. She is the eldest daughter of the first Ryukyu King. It is said that she was raised as a man since she was a child. At that time, Empress Wu was in power. Therefore, Li Mingzhu was almost a feminist in that era. The Ryukyu King and his wife also supported her very much, which allowed her to gain a certain amount of power early on. Later, she discovered Mingzhou and Jinzhou successively, and the Ryukyu King will Jinzhou gave this daughter!" On the tourist bus, the tour guide was talking to the tourists about the upcoming tourist attractions, and all the tourists below were also full of excitement.

Compared with the Central Plains, where a change of dynasty occurs every 200 years or less, Ryukyu or the later Haitang family has always had a relatively stable political situation. Until a hundred years ago, the monarchs of the Haitang family returned to power one after another, but As a nominal royal family, this line is still surnamed Li.

The Haitang lineage can be regarded as a loose federation. Everyone is the descendant of the same ancestor and is the head of the country.Before the civil strife in the late Tang Dynasty, everyone was worried that the family would go back to the Central Plains directly, but at that time they really couldn't spare.Since Li Yue set the policy of developing the subcontinent, they have been working hard for it.

Back then, Li Xian also considered conquering Tianzhu, but Li Xian's disadvantage was that the population was too small.Although Ryukyu is far away overseas, the climate is warm and humid, and the industry and agriculture are also developed. The situation on the plateau is different. In terms of the environment, it is worse than that north of Andong.Because of the climate and environmental problems here, the health of the local people is a problem, and the average life expectancy is relatively short.In addition, there are very few places suitable for farming. Although there are many animal resources, most of them are in no-man's land, and most people will not run there without problems.Therefore, even if a very favorable immigration policy is given, no one is willing to come here except to hope that the Central Plains will exile criminals here.

Insufficient population, everything is false!Therefore, Li Xian didn't really take advantage of Tianzhu to the end, and his descendants also honestly became kings of Tibet on the plateau.Later, after the fall of Li Tang, some nobles won the support of the new Central Plains dynasty, overthrew Li Xian's lineage, established themselves as kings, and still regarded the Central Plains as the suzerain state.This is also unavoidable. After so many years, the plateau is very dependent on the economy of the Central Plains, and it has long been impossible to return to the self-sufficiency of the past.

The plateau next to Tianzhu has no choice, which naturally gave Li Yue an opportunity to take advantage of it. The martial arts in Tianzhu is not strong. Looking at their history, it is the history of being conquered. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were conquered by the Huns The Yuezhi people who fought so hard to find the north once conquered Tianzhu.

However, it is not difficult to treat this place as a colony, as long as the interests of their high caste are guaranteed, but it is not easy to really conquer here.For example, in the Central Plains, the people were oppressed unbearably. To put it bluntly, it would be: "There is a big scar on the head, since it doesn't give us a way to survive, then forget it!" The taller point is the words of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang: "Princes and generals, I would rather have a kind!" However, on Tianzhu's side, everyone believed in the theory of caste blood.If you want to lead people of lower castes to rebel against higher castes, let alone join, they will probably bite you back, thinking that you have deprived them of their right to be slaves.

Because of this, Li Yue or Li Xi's descendants spent countless efforts in Tianzhu to truly digest the rich land of Tianzhu.At this time, the dust has settled in the Central Plains, and Ryukyu has taken in some children of the Li Tang royal family and some of their subordinates. However, they obviously have no plans to help restore the country. It's hard to get back, mainly because in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was a cheater. He actually let go of the control of the nobles of the family and even the Guiyi Hu people, so that the tail was too big to lose. In the end, the nine sides were separated, together with the people who were divided out. The clans also became self-reliant one after another, and the central government lost its majesty and still had a large part of its financial resources.From small individuals to large countries, money is very important.If the imperial court's finances are not healthy, it will not be able to engage in infrastructure construction and people's livelihood, and even in order to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, it has to double the exploitation of the people below.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, a large number of fleeing households appeared in the Central Plains, and even saw Ryukyu merchant ships appearing in the realization. They rowed wooden basins and even jumped directly into the sea to swim to the Ryukyu merchant ships. It can be seen that the people at the bottom were about to die. I can't go down!Even though the Ryukyu caravans brought cheap food and even meat, officials, nobles, landlords, and tyrants were all poaching the corners of the imperial court for their own interests. They forced tenants to plant cash crops, lowered the wages of workshop workers, and High taxes are imposed on imported food, which pushes the price of food even higher, so that only one person is required to work, at least enough to ensure food and clothing for the family. of.

In short, Li Tang had already lost his support at that time, but the Ryukyu family was powerless, and could only sit back and watch the dynasty change in the Central Plains.But also because of this reason, Ryukyu no longer considers itself a vassal state of the Central Plains, but instead regards itself as Li and Tang orthodox, known as Haitang.The Ryukyu king at that time began to establish himself as the emperor from then on, and no longer followed the Central Plains' year name to count the year, but began to adopt his own year name.

Due to various reasons, it kept falling into involution, especially after the fall of Li Tang, in order to prevent the restoration of Hai Tang, the new dynasty began to close the country and only opened a few ports along the coast. Move, the board is not allowed to go into the sea.Of course, there is still sea trade, but the profits are monopolized by a few limited forces. They can get huge benefits by maintaining the status quo. Naturally, they don't bother to change it.

As for Hai Tang, because of the notes left by Li Yue back then, and because they really saw how big the world really is, compared to internal conflicts in the Central Plains, Hai Tang is constantly exploring overseas. In this era, many places are still relatively desolate. , not many people live in it, or there is no so-called civilization and political power at all, and for the Han people who have written farming into their genes, these unowned lands are simply treasures given to them by God, so even if they know The Central Plains is where their ancestral home is, and for them, there is not much attraction there.How can being a poor guard dog compare to going out and becoming a noble lord?

That's right, in order to speed up external development, Haitang has created a system of pioneering aristocrats since the time of developing Tianzhu. As long as you put up a certain deposit, pass a simple exam, and have a suitable team and plan, you will be able to You can become a candidate for a nobleman, go to a newly developed area to occupy a piece of land, and then you will be a lord. As long as your behavior conforms to the laws of the empire and you are willing to fulfill your obligations as a citizen and lord, then the empire will protect you. rights and interests.Although some nobles were unlucky and failed to solve the problem but were solved by others, most of them were successful cases. Such a success rate naturally attracted the people of Zhuxia who never lacked in the spirit of adventure.

For example, nowadays, the kings of the Haitang line have returned to power one after another, and the nobles have lost their former privileges. However, as long as they are not too useless and have no prodigal sons, they can still guarantee the dignity of the nobles.

In the entire history of Hai Tang, there have been nearly twenty queens in total, and most of them are from Li Mingzhu's lineage.Li Mingzhu directly promulgated the law at the beginning, and the succession of the throne is based on the eldest son's succession system. If the first child born by the descendant is a daughter, then, as long as she does not give up the right of inheritance, she will be the princess.

Later, some other countries also encountered similar situations. The first wife failed to give birth to a son, but only a daughter. Then, if you don’t want to cause disharmony in family life, you should choose the first daughter as the successor instead of the second son.In fact, since Li Xi had too many sons, he almost couldn't even get the money for his son's feudalism and founding the country later, no one dared to be like Li Xi, desperately taking concubines and having children. Three or five, then it's not a big problem. After you have more children, even if you just support the children to become an ordinary noble lord, you need to pay a lot of money. Many of them have to pay this money when they are still alive. It is unavoidable that it is painful for people to pay out of the state's finances and have to pay out of their own private treasury. Therefore, everyone has restrained a lot in this kind of matter since then.

In short, in the Haitang lineage, Li Mingzhu is a legend, and Li Mingzhu's Xingling Mausoleum is also one of the wonders built by the Haitang lineage.

As the pioneer of the Haitang family, Li Yue has no interest in lavish burials. Originally, according to the normal style of the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty, he started to build his own tomb very early. It seems that the new emperor ascended the throne in the past dynasties. As for the burial, the new emperor's mausoleum has already been planned and ready to be built, but Li Yue clearly expresses his opposition to a thick burial.Li Yue doesn't believe in the saying that death is like life. The emperor's tomb is the best target for tomb robbers. There are few emperor's tombs in later generations that have not been stolen. The more funeral objects, the easier it is to be stolen. Keep an eye on it, if it's an ordinary Tufuzi, or grab some funerary objects outside, it's enough, but if there are a lot of rebels on the stalls, there are a lot of tomb robbing for military expenses, then you have to be prepared to expose the corpse Go wild!

Therefore, after Li Yue died, he was cremated directly according to his last wish, and then his ashes were sent to Chang'an to be buried with Zhaoling. After Yang Yao died, he was also buried with Li Yue, and the couple did not build a special cemetery.

Brothers Li Xi and Li Xuan were influenced by Li Yue and his wife. Although a mausoleum was built, it was the regulation of ordinary princes, and there was no generous burial.On the contrary, it is Li Mingzhu, because she occupies Jinzhou, which itself has rich gold deposits. She doesn't have too many children, and she doesn't have many hobbies to spend money. In other words, her hobby is to expand and make money. Therefore, she She spent a lot of time and money on the construction of her own mausoleum. In particular, she lived a long life and had a close relationship with Empress Kaiping, so she was able to build her own mausoleum according to the standards of the imperial mausoleum. In the end, Xing Mausoleum was built as a typical The spectacle, the ground buildings alone are already very impressive. A few years ago, due to the earthquake, the ground buildings were damaged. I was worried that the underground palace would also collapse. With the permission of the royal family, a protective excavation was carried out on the underground palace. After many treasures and a large amount of historical materials were unearthed, this place has become the most famous scenic spot in Jinzhou, and there are an endless stream of tourists.

So much so that some people secretly slandered the Wang family of Jinzhou for making money well, and even used it to collect tickets for the ancestor's mausoleum.However, the royal family doesn't care about this. The royal family doesn't have many privileges now, but there are many descendants of the royal family, and they have to maintain enough dignity. There are many places to spend money, so there is nothing wrong with opening up a few more ways !Make money, don't be shabby!
