Meng Xianshi Tells the Truth About Tang History and Tang Gaozong
by Meng Xianshi
About This Novel
Most of the handed down history books believe that Tang Gaozong was "weak and incompetent", but they cannot explain why Gaozong's era had the vastest territory in the Tang Dynasty, and why the "Kaiyuan Age" could come after Gaozong. In fact, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was round on the outside and square on the inside, bold and careful, and he dared to think and act. Without the development, consolidation, and paving the way in the Gaozong era, the "Reign of Zhenguan" would be just a short-lived climax, and the "Kaiyuan Prosperity" would become water without a source. Whether measured by the traditional political thought of "the monarch does nothing" or the actual achievements achieved, Gaozong was a successful emperor. The reason why history books describe Tang Gaozong in this way is simply because Wu Zetian, whom he trained, replaced "Li Tang" with "Wu Zhou". In order to prevent the recurrence of the Queen's dictatorship, later historians must have historical facts that can serve as a warning. Therefore, they would rather "retarded" Tang Gaozong at the expense of historical truth.
