The Tang Dynasty: Winning People Over with Virtue

After reading a few chapters, I couldn't stand it anymore. First of all, Li Shimin himself had no intention of confronting the aristocratic family. Of course, this did not prevent him from using the imperial examination to win over talents. When the aristocratic politics of the Tang Dynasty had not yet declined, the advantage of the imperial examination system over the inspection system was to improve the standards for nobles to serve as officials. At the same time, the personal attachment of the recommended person to the recommender was reduced. In the Wei, Jin and before, those who were recommended under the imperial examination system had to regard the recommender as the king, which was the so-called dual monarch. Under the imperial examination system, although candidates still had to submit to the examiner, the effect of attachment was far less than that in the imperial examination system era. To sum up, the Tang and Song Dynasties were a watershed. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was a typical aristocratic politics. Li Shimin would attack the big landowners and nobles who threatened him, but it was impossible to directly target the aristocratic families. After the Song Dynasty, the civil service field completely entered the era of scholar-officials, that is, those who read Confucian classics well could become scholar-officials, and aristocratic politics declined. In addition, the groundless speculations about Li Zhi are also ridiculous, as they copy modern ideas back to the feudal era. Li Shiji is Li Zhi's long history, so it is speculated that Li Zhi holds military power. This is a serious misjudgment caused by the modern official system. First of all, Li Zhi was only the governor of Bingzhou from afar. His official position was astonishingly high, but it was just a false position. This kind of governor-general had the same title as the kings of Qi and Qin in the post-feudal era. Could it be that he was called King of Qi, and everyone in Qi listened to this King of Qi? It can only be said that the author has a vague understanding of the politics of the feudal era. Moreover, Li Zhi's ascension to the throne was indeed a big mistake. Since Li Shimin relied on the Xuanwu Sect to ascend to the throne, the audience felt that he did not pay attention to feudal ethics at all. Wrong, it was a big mistake. Although Li Shimin He was not the eldest son, but his legitimate son. In other words, from Li Shimin's point of view, only the legitimate son could succeed to the throne. At the same time, he also tolerated Li Chengqian himself for a long time, and did not depose the crown prince until the rebellion. Li Chengqian himself Not only did they commit suicide, but they also held a grand memorial funeral for the male favorite who was sent to death by Li Shimin. If it were Liu Che or Li Longji, Li Chengqian would have been killed long ago. When Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Tai also made many mistakes. Under the circumstances, if Li Shimin wanted to establish a legitimate son, he could only establish Li Zhi, the third eldest of the legitimate sons. This is why Li Zhi came to power in the end. It had nothing to do with whether Li Zhi had military power. The author's writing on this aspect is a complete mess.

The reason for deposing the prince was because the original Li Chengqian indulged in indulgence and got close to each other, which was equivalent to giving up on his own initiative due to his mental illness. Now the protagonist needs to be capable, well-organized, and have top-notch mental strategies. There is also the righteousness of being the eldest son. Li Shimin keeps sabotaging the protagonist's plans because the future national strategy is risky? Is this really a founding emperor? Didn't he see that the success of these national strategies would benefit Datang? Even if you don't dare to bet, is this still the great and ambitious general? Although I think the article is quite cool, it's really disgusting if Li Shimin goes on like this, which is equivalent to the referee hitting someone off the field.

Leave your name! From beginning to end, not a single word was missed, hoping to write a different Tang Dynasty. Hurry, order now!

Conquer people with virtue

The writing is confusing and the reading is confusing. I wish I could feed all the calculations into everyone's mouths, and all I have to do is write a manual. Everyone gathered around the stove to make tea and discuss it. At first glance, you can tell that the author has never been in the system. Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. You have to experience it by yourself. If you understand, you can participate in climbing up. If you don't understand, just lie down. If you really can't control it, you can use the trick of pretending to slap someone in the face to make it feel better. Although it is tacky, it is useful. After seeing Chapter 61, I couldn't help but complain.

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian has been making trouble for four years. Author, aren't you hungry?

Interesting and interesting. I haven't seen such an interesting historical article in a long time.

To be honest, I really don't know what confidence Li Chengqian has. According to the article, Li Tai is supported by the family, and Li Zhi is supported by Changsun Wuji. Li Chengqian doesn't have absolute power, and you can't make any big waves either.

Don't talk about the backwardness of agriculture in ancient times. If you change it to today's society, where everyone doesn't work, how can you afford it?

The above is not all, the author will slowly compile a batch of information, including but not limited to the official system, military system, taxation and local names of the Tang Dynasty.
