When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Jing Kang Zhao Dezhao said: "Before I came here, I heard from the ministers that every time the history books were compiled, the things about Wu Zetian would be more or less polished. The main reason was that some of Wu Zetian's systems were disliked by the literati of the Song Dynasty. They were afraid that they would be borrowed by the emperor, so they gradually deviated from the real situation."

Old Zhu nodded, "I've heard about this, and I've asked the historians before. Many emperors liked to change history, especially after the Tang Dynasty. Some records about emperors are unreadable. When I helped Old Yang reorganize the history books, I investigated a large number of tombs from the Sui and Tang dynasties. The unearthed cultural relics and the historical books handed down have great discrepancies in many places. For example, Old Li became an emperor who relied on his son to rule the country. From the rebellion to the unification, he was always a drag. His only contribution was to give birth to a good son who led him to victory without any effort."

Lao Zhu is a very honest man. He takes money from people to help them get rid of their misfortunes.

After collecting money and food from Lao Yang, he sent someone to visit all the cemeteries, big and small.

Those literati officials who came from wealthy families would usually take some of their notes underground.

So, Lao Zhu sent people to modify these records one by one.

In this way, after the Hongwu Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the only version about Yang Guang that will be left in the unearthed documents is the Hongwu Ming Dynasty version.

Since we have already gone down to the tomb, we might as well sort out the life stories of other emperors, civil officials, military generals, etc.

Old Zhu was surprised to find that the situation of history revision was particularly serious during the Tang and Song dynasties.

Sometimes, looking at the differences between the above-ground version and the underground version, he even felt that these were two dynasties with the same name and surname.

Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin angrily. Needless to say, this act of falsifying history must have been done by his second son, who was managing the throne on his behalf.

Although he also made some changes, they were mainly to discredit Yang Guang. He no longer had any say in the records about himself.

"I don't take the blame for this. I just polished it a little and didn't deviate from the original facts. It must have been done later. They were all incompetent rulers and they were afraid of being cursed by future generations, so they changed the history books. Moreover, I can swear that I have never changed it." Li Er hurriedly defended himself.

The Zhenguan period today is very different from the Zhenguan period in history.

Not only did the ministers undergo many changes, but even the system changed.

More importantly, there were officials from other dynasties stationed in the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to change history, it is simply a fantasy.

Not to mention that the historians under Li Shimin were unwilling, even other emperors would have laughed their heads off and given the emperor a low score in the overall evaluation.

Moreover, in order to ensure the authenticity of history, various dynasties jointly formed a group of historians.

This means that Li Shimin was surrounded not only by historians from the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty, but also by historians from other dynasties.

You may be able to put some pressure on local historians, but historians from other dynasties will not pay attention to your threats.

Wu Zetian nodded helplessly and said with emotion: "Rewriting history books is really abominable! I didn't expect that in historical records, I would be described as a vicious woman who killed my own daughter with my own hands." She felt very wronged and angry.

Zhu Ming added: "In our impression, when Wu Zetian is mentioned, everyone will think of the empress who killed her own daughter. Some people even think that if they travel through time and space to be her son, it would be very dangerous, because as long as they don't obey, they will be executed without hesitation."

If the occasion was not wrong, Wu Zetian would have wanted to let those present see the art of swearing.

on the wine table.

When the emperors got together, the topic usually revolved around state affairs.

Wu Zetian asked questions from time to time, wanting to know about the situation in other dynasties.

I was surprised to find that other dynasties vigorously promoted the development of education and science and technology.

Those emperors who first encountered the Ming Dynasty had now achieved considerable achievements. Even their weapons had been upgraded to mainly muskets and cannons, while cold weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows had been relegated to the second line and became auxiliary tools.

Not to mention the more recent Sui and Tang dynasties.

Even the Qin Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

They began to popularize muskets and cannons and vigorously build infrastructure.

Many factories emerged.

In terms of science and technology and economy, they were far ahead of the Tang Dynasty.

After witnessing the powerful force of muskets and cannons, Wu Zetian naturally longed to keep up with the times and pursue the same development.

In terms of government, other dynasties have implemented many policies that are beneficial to the country and the people.

In order to become the greatest emperor of all time, these emperors even showed a tendency towards involution.

As the only empress in history, Wu Zetian possessed unique pride and self-confidence.

Even if she couldn't top the overall score, she was determined to get to the front and would never tolerate herself always being at the bottom.

Wu Zetian kept asking.

Li Shimin, the man who made her hate him the most and almost left her alone for the rest of her life, and his Zhenguan Dynasty, made Wu Zetian shocked and envious.

Not long after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin encountered Zhu Ming. With the help of the coalition forces of other dynasties, the Turks were like a meat bun hitting a dog, and they never came back. This turned the original Weishui Alliance into an impressive record of defeating the Turks.

Those aristocratic families that had been relying on the Tang Dynasty and constantly sucking blood from it were also uprooted overnight.

In the early Zhenguan period of history, disasters were severe, large areas of grain were harvested, and countless people starved to death or froze to death.

But Li Shimin's Zhenguan was different at the dinner table. Several dynasties gave great help, with money and manpower contributing. Even Yang Guang provided a huge amount of food, allowing Li Shimin to safely overcome this difficulty. They even built a temple specifically for Yang Guang to be worshipped.

As high-yield crops entered the Tang Dynasty, grain production increased several times. During the Zhenguan period, granaries across the Tang Dynasty were full, and there was no need to envy the Sui Dynasty as before.

Various vegetables and pork began to appear on people's tables, and people's living standards were significantly improved.

At the same time, a series of decrees were issued, such as pension security, housing security, medical security, free education, etc. These policies were good policies in other dynasties, and now the people of the Tang Dynasty have benefited from them. They are naturally grateful to Li Shimin and sing his praises.

Today, the image of Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin is glorious in the hearts of the people. Even the previous Xuanwu Gate Incident has been rationalized by the people. It was not launched for Li Shimin himself, but for the common people of the world. It was a battle to restore order.

In terms of economy.

The Tang Dynasty eradicated the aristocratic families, and the vast population that had been concealed by the aristocratic families finally returned to the management of the Tang Dynasty court. This move directly led to the doubling of the population controlled by the court, or even more.

The vigorous development of industry and commerce made the economy of the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty more prosperous, and tax revenue also increased sharply year by year.

Today's Zhenguan Tang Dynasty has completely gotten rid of the depression brought about by the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and presents a prosperous situation with vitality and prosperity.

Wu Zetian originally believed that in terms of education, she should be able to surpass Li Shimin by taking measures such as eliminating aristocratic families and promoting the imperial examination system.

However, when she heard about the universal education promoted by the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty, she was stunned.

During the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty under Li Shimin, all children of school age, regardless of gender, wealth or social class, had to receive ten years of basic education.

And all this education is free, including tuition, room and board.

In addition, the imperial court also vigorously promoted literacy campaigns, and special literacy classes were set up in every village.

As a result, people who want to work part-time in factories to earn extra income need to at least know some basic characters.

This policy of universal education deeply shocked Wu Zetian. She realized that her efforts in culture were far inferior to those of the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty.

At the dinner table, Li Shimin, who was drinking, was so chaste that Wu Zetian was shocked and envious of him in every aspect.

However, even so, among the dozen or so emperors at the table, Li Shimin's Zhenguan Tang Dynasty was only in the middle and lower levels.

However, Wu Zetian was not discouraged.

After seeing the future, Wu Zetian's horizons broadened a lot.

I was determined to learn from other dynasties, and then seek help from Zhu Ming to get some zero-yuan purchases from later generations.

Believe in yourself, the Tang Dynasty will also usher in rapid development.

We may not be able to catch up with other dynasties in the short term, but in ten or twenty years, as long as we work hard, everything is possible.

"Yin Man, in a few days I would like to bring some officials to your Great Qin for some inspection and study. Is it convenient?" Wu Zetian asked another empress, Qin III Ying Yin Man, who was beside her.

During the reign of Ying Yinman, the Third Qin Dynasty was developed better than that of Li Shimin during the Zhenguan period. Zhu Ming sent more gifts and more scientific researchers. He also moved a group of top science and engineering students from a university in Japan.

"No problem, you are always welcome. In fact, among us emperors, we often organize people to visit and learn from other dynasties. There are also special embassies between dynasties. According to Zhu Ming, we are all parallel worlds, and no one will threaten anyone else, so if there is any technology, everyone will make it public, learn together and make progress together."

Wu Zetian thought about it and realized that it was true. As long as Zhu Ming disagreed, no one could threaten anyone else.

Common development is the only truth.

"That's great, but if this happens, my Wu Zhou Tang Dynasty might get a great advantage, and I feel a little guilty."

"Nothing. You will meet other emperors in the future. At present, apart from the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, there are still many emperors who have not appeared in other dynasties. Maybe one day you will see your next emperor. I hope he is a wise ruler. If he is a tyrant, he will probably be replaced. If he is like Hu Hai, he may be killed directly as a sacrifice."

Wu Zetian's face changed slightly. Her successor was not wise at all, and even a little foolish. "I hope my grandson can do it. I am more optimistic about Sanlang. Although he is young, he is very smart."

Ying Yinman lived for a long time in later generations.

In addition to taking care of the Three Yangs and One Zhu, I also learn from the training teachers.

When I have nothing to do, I search for various information on the Internet.

The emperors in the history of Yanhuang knew it better than Zhu Ming.

"It depends on what era of grandson you meet. Your grandson was really good in the early days, but later on he became a bit slack and was no longer good to watch." Ying Yinman whispered to Wu Zetian.

"Are you talking about Sanlang?" Wu Zetian asked.

Ying Yinman nodded: "Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the third son of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, also known as Li Sanlang, should be the Sanlang you are talking about."

"Yes, it's him, my most proud grandson, who has been smart since childhood. But from what you said, could he be a tyrant?" Wu Zetian's face turned pale.

"You can refer to the early and late years of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. In the early years, he worked hard to govern the country and achieved the Kaiyuan Period, the peak of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although Li Shimin was dim-witted in his later years, he still had some self-control and his influence was limited. Li Longji was different. In his later years, he led to the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline, which started the tradition of the Tang Dynasty losing Chang'an."

Wu Zetian was shocked. She didn't think Ying Yinman would lie to her. She couldn't believe that her good grandson was the culprit that caused the Tang Dynasty to decline. "What tradition is it to lose Chang'an?"

"To put it simply, the Tang Dynasty lost Chang'an six times in history, and the reign of Li Longji was the first time."

"What, Chang'an was lost six times!" Wu Zetian was stunned.

No matter whether it was the Wu Zhou Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the subsequent emperors were all his descendants.

Her descendants lost Chang'an six times, and Wu Zetian felt her blood pressure soaring.

I have been strong all my life, but why are my descendants not able to do the same?

"Yes, there were six times in total. After six times, the Tang Dynasty finally perished. Otherwise, there would probably be a seventh and eighth time. The Tang Dynasty was really in a critical condition. Various social contradictions accumulated together, and the quality of the emperor was not very good. But that is not impossible to change. When we encounter it one day, the coalition of all dynasties will definitely be able to easily solve the Tang Dynasty's predicament."

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "They are all unfilial descendants. Suddenly I feel that the death of the second emperor in your Qin Dynasty is quite good. At least there are fewer miserable descendants."

Ying Yinman was stunned for a moment. A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man.

Even if it is a bit frustrating, it would be good to have more emperors. There would be no need for everyone to be together now. If men and women were to sit separately, his father would always have to face his ferocious drinking buddies alone. Even Emperor Wu of Han found his old father to keep him company.

"Old Wu, you probably don't know that your grandson is also a talent. Others are trying to snatch the emperor's concubine, but you are trying to snatch your son's wife. Because of this woman, you are obsessed with beauty and have no interest in government affairs. Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors on the top of the mountain are opened one after another.

A red-dust horse gallops past the concubine, and no one knows that it is the lychees that are coming. This is what I am talking about, the absurd things that you, your grandson, did with the woman you kidnapped. "

Wu Zetian stood up in surprise, her face flushed, her whole body trembling, her voice trembling: "Is this true? Stealing your own son's concubine, is this a smear in history books? Just now you said that many of the history books of the Tang Dynasty were revised. Isn't this a deliberate smear by the later dynasties? Who in their right mind would do such a thing!"

He stared at Ying Yinman with his eyes fixed, wishing that this was just a folk legend created by the later dynasties to discredit her.

Old Zhu happened to hear Wu Zetian's question and smiled: "Don't worry, we have verified it both above and below the ground. This is true. In the Tang Dynasty, there were not only sons who robbed their fathers, but also fathers who robbed their sons. The most famous one was Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. In fact, he is still your grandson." (End of this chapter)
