Synopsis
Li Zhengyi, who has a rift in his heart but is not taken seriously, uses all means to plan for the throne. He left Chang'an at the age of sixteen and suffered at the border for three years. After a hasty crowning ceremony, he was left in the cold for several months. At the age of 20, he left the capital to serve as the governor of Songzhou, and was surrounded by dangers. He had a son with the woman he loved, and his name soon returned. Soon after, his wife died and she lost her true love. He returned to Chang'an at the age of twenty-three, and was appointed to the Dali Temple due to Songzhou's political achievements. He eliminated the Liu family through illegal salt matters, gained followers and help, married a good wife and treated her with respect, suppressed the third brother and the Sun family based on the Jiao Shi case, eliminated the Tang family and the prince, avenged his mother, killed the third brother, and hid the fourth brother. After seven years of planning, he won the throne at the age of thirty. During this period, he is really a bad person. His methods were ruthless and he killed countless people. Appoint talented people and test the superiors and inferiors. Although Gai has good intentions, he always treats himself harshly, smiles gently, and hides a knife in his back. ……………………… Sixteen-year-old people think that everyone and everything in the world are sixteen years old. They don't know how to leave when they are young, and they are afraid of people leaving when they are white-headed. It was bitterly cold and tiring outside, but Li Zhengyi never thought that she was here to move a corpse. In the place where the battle had just taken place, the bodies of the soldiers lay scattered on the ground, their limbs scattered, and the ground was covered with blood. When he first encountered the cold bones, he almost threw them away, but Zheng Pingshui's instructions made Li Zhengyi feel that he was making too much of a fuss, so he bit the bullet and continued. There was a lot of killing at the border, and it took everyone two days to sort out the battlefield before writing down the names of all the dead. The people who worked with Li Zhengyi to rectify the battlefield were all small soldiers who had never been on the battlefield. Everyone was shrouded in an invisible fear. Death was not out of reach. Maybe he would be the one lying on the ground tomorrow. ……………………… "In May of the 22nd year of Tianhe, I served as the governor of Songzhou to control the Yellow River bursting its banks." "At the same time, the price of salt in Songzhou was more than three times higher than that of Chang'an. However, Lu Xinyu, the former governor of Songzhou, never reported this matter. I ordered people to conduct a secret investigation and found that the price of salt in Songzhou has remained high since six years ago." "The price of official salt is high, how can the common people afford it? I investigated further and found out that the common people had no choice but to rely on private salt to survive, so private salt dealers were rampant in Songzhou." "I arrested the salt dealers again and interrogated them, and I learned that they were all selling private salt under Liu He's instructions. I also discovered that the salt they sold was not crudely made civilian salt, but official salt made uniformly." "The salt officials committed theft, and the officials and businessmen worked together, and the people suffered terribly. In order to investigate the matter, I contacted Liu He's eldest son, Liu Yancheng, and pretended to cooperate with him. Liu Yancheng discovered that my intentions were impure and avoided me many times. I was reprimanded by the emperor. I took this opportunity to contact Liu Yancheng again, and Liu finally cooperated with me." "Starting from July of the 23rd year of Tianhe's reign until yesterday, we have investigated all the officials involved in the illegal salt case. I am here to report it." "Here comes the list." ………… "The "Historical Records" says that if the rivers are like belts and the Taishan Mountains are strong, the country will always be peaceful, and the Miao descendants will be loved. I am willing to pursue this, so that etiquette, music, punishment, and government can be extended to all directions without conflict." "Ritual etiquette and music harmonize the people's voices. Government should implement it and punishments should prevent it; integrity means offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Harmony means all things are not lost. If you act in this way, if there is light, there will be etiquette and music, and if there is darkness, there will be ghosts and gods. In this way, there will be unity in respect and love within the four seas." "Sound is what affects people's hearts. The reason why the sound is written is because it comes from emotion and conforms to the shape. If the sound is harmonious, the sound of governing the world will be loved and brought to joy; if the sound is good, the sound of troubled times will be resented and angered; because of the people, the sound of the country's destruction will be mourned." "If there is no chaos among the palace lord, business ministers, corner people, Hui affairs, and feathers, there will be no sound of confusion." ………… The former prince's heirs were weak, the eldest son died young, the third son was cowardly, the fourth son was missing, the fifth son died, and the sixth son is unknown. Only the second highness, Prince Ping, could teach the people, make the people harmonious, the world be prosperous, and the government should be relaxed and prohibitive, so that the officials would not do evil and the thieves would not be able to afford it. Therefore, Prince Ping bowed to the throne with all his ministers, and he was thirty years old. The reign title was Shengtian, the late emperor was given the posthumous title Jingzhi, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and Concubine Zheng was honored as the Queen Mother. Reward the staff, take control of the power, lead the ministers to prosper the sky, and bring peace to the world. Intention: Is life dictated by God? Will he be ordered by Hu Xie? You must be ordered by heaven, why should you worry? He must be ordered to live in the house, and then he can reach the house's ears. Who can get there?
