Beasts become gods

Chapter 196 The First Emperor Luo Tianming

One night passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the next morning.

The four roommates reunited last night. Except for Zhu Hankun, everyone was quite natural. Only Zhu Hankun practiced alone without saying a word. He seemed to be very energetic. It seemed that the martial arts class on Friday had a great impact on him. He was no longer as strong as before.

With a playful smile on his face, I didn’t see him getting sleepy.

The four of them went to the cafeteria to have breakfast as usual, and then went to Teacher Zuo Jing’s history class upstairs. Teacher Zuo Jing, with his gray hair shawl, looked particularly energetic. He stood in front of the podium early and watched the students walk in one after another.

In the classroom, his eyes are full of tenderness, and he looks like a kind old man.

Qiao Bang didn't know much about Teacher Zuo Jing's past. Looking at Teacher Zuo Jing with a glowing face at the moment, he just felt that he was really a happy person and he was very satisfied with his current life.

After the four of them entered the classroom, Zhu Hankun hurriedly lay down on the table to take a nap before class started. Although he was lying on the table, when Qiao Bang looked back, he still felt that he had not used his energy, just like a hedgehog with its spines erect.

When the classroom was filled with students, Teacher Zuo Jing began to teach. He opened "A Brief History of the Jialuo Empire" and began to focus on the life story of the founding emperor Luo Tianming.

Qiao Bang discovered that Teacher Zuo Jing did not follow the textbook completely based on the brief history, but narrated the history separately from the textbook, interpreting official history, unofficial history, and stories circulated in the market.

The image of the first emperor described by Teacher Zuo Jing was different from the hero praised in the books, which gave Qiao Bang a new understanding of Teacher Zuo Jing.

"Luo Tianming divided the territory of the Aojia Empire into two, fought against Zhu Yi, divided the Aojia Empire with the Da Ning Can Ling and Xiao Ning Can Ling as the boundaries, and founded the Jia Luo Empire."

"When Luo Tianming ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he granted amnesty to everyone in the empire and gave everyone in the empire a chance to start a new life. At the same time, he redistributed land and exempted taxes for three years. In the early days of the empire, he won the support of the people and also attacked and eliminated

The original aristocrats were very popular in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Luo Tianming's name once became synonymous with the Gallo Empire. The cult of personality became more and more intense. The people within the empire were unprecedentedly united. The enthusiasm for production and the progress of construction exceeded the expectations of the Minister of Finance.

Be high."

"The good times did not last long. Luo Tianming, who had been in a high position for a long time, was influenced by the voices around him. He had never left Yongyao Capital and was used to learning about the current situation in the empire from the capable ministers and generals he trusted. Luo Tianming's ten years

After running the country for a day, I began to feel a little tired when I was nearly fifty. I became more convinced of the personal guards and generals who had lived together through life and death, and ignored the ministers who truly have the ability to govern the world and know how to balance and plan. On the 11th day of the Kalaudi Calendar

In 2008, a plague broke out across the country. At the same time, more than a dozen natural disasters of various sizes occurred frequently. The people began to have ideas, gradually regained their senses, and no longer blindly respected the imperial court. The sects and sects were suppressed and restrained.

He also gradually won over people's hearts and carefully expanded his influence."

"In the winter of the same year, Luo Tianming led the civil servants and generals when they were traveling south to Lidian Cang Province and were assassinated. Due to Luo Tianming's strong cultivation level, he only suffered some flesh wounds. After being tortured by Wuxuanmen's raincoaters, the assassins revealed all the details, and the high-ranking officials of the empire were tortured.

When it was revealed that he was cheating on people with free money, oppressing the people, and stealing food relief, Luo Tianming was furious. He launched a rigorous investigation into the officials in Diang Cang Province, arrested more than 40 officials, and cut off their heads and hung them in front of the city lord's palace.

They were not allowed to be buried, but were abandoned in the canyon and allowed to be eaten by spiritual animals and whose bones were picked out. The families of the officials involved were all demoted to slaves, and those in serious cases were directly sent to the north to freeze alive."

"This matter has far-reaching consequences. After Luo Tianming dealt with Diancang Province, he rushed back to the Yongyao Capital Imperial Court. At this point, Luo Tianming no longer believed in his former colleagues who shared weal and woe. The Shangtianmen who originally served the royal family and the Wuxuanmen who hunted and solved the case were ordered to

During the rectification, all the people in the system were replaced. Luo Tianming personally organized an organization called Baixiao Pavilion to serve him exclusively, and collected reliable intelligence and reported it to him so that the officials and soldiers involved could be punished in a timely manner.

Officials who have done nothing will also be removed from their posts."

"During the twelfth year of the Jia Luo Emperor's reign, there was a great trend of informing inside and outside the imperial court. Civil and military officials no longer focused on solving people's livelihood and governing the country, but instead acted wisely to protect themselves. Everyone in the country did not refuse to inform. The informing trend lasted for six years, and finally Luo Tianming

Exhausted physically and mentally, he announced in an early morning court that private prosecutions would be stopped, tyranny and torture would be abolished, and any findings would be made public in the court. Baixiao Pavilion was also temporarily suspended until Luo Tianming's eighth son succeeded to the throne.

"

"This incident has far-reaching consequences. It also gave the Imperial Court of the Jia Luo Empire time to breathe. The civil and military officials no longer tried to undermine each other, and the empire became prosperous again, laying the foundation for the victory of the war between the two countries that was about to break out later."

After a pause, Zuo Jing relaxed his mood and tied his silver hair back. The wrinkles on his cheeks looked particularly obvious without the hair covering them.

"Facts have proved that a tyrant who is aggressive and good at attacking is not necessarily suitable for running a country. In the twenty-first year of the Jialuo Emperor calendar, Luo Tianming knew that his end was approaching. Before his death, he would use many methods to survive and die together with the military generals who were still alive in the world.

Even the three military generals who retired early and returned to their hometowns were not spared from the secret execution. Luo Tianming overthrew the plutocratic aristocrats before the founding of the empire and devoted himself to creating a country without slaves. Before his death, he also wiped out his colleagues who had conquered the country.

.But this country did not turn out as Luo Tianming expected. His descendants would still adhere to his founding philosophy for the next hundred years, vigorously cultivate the army and despise production and people's livelihood. After Luo Tianming's death, the focus of the empire for a hundred years was on

During the war between the East and West, the population did not increase significantly, nor did the economic level improve much. On the other hand, the Aolai Empire invested its treasury funds in creating production tools and transportation tools, and the economic level has improved significantly in a hundred years."

While Teacher Zuo Jing was holding a glass of water to soothe his throat, Qiao Bang was working hard on writing a book, trying to record the key points of what Teacher Zuo Jing said.

This is information that the famous teachers in the Southern Territory have never mentioned before! Teacher Zuo Jing really dares to say that telling this to a group of seven-year-old children will not be too extreme.

Reminiscent of what Luo Tianming did when he was dying, it can be seen that the first emperor was indeed physically and mentally exhausted. Presumably he was worried that his heirs would be unable to suppress these powerful generals, so he acted like this before his death.

If the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked...

Listening to Teacher Zuo Jing continue to talk about Luo Tianming's deeds, Qiao Bang discovered that Teacher Zuo Jing's teaching has a characteristic. He first criticizes all the bad things of his ancestors, and then talks about his contribution to the country and history one by one.

The place.

This class is really unique and much more exciting than last week's class.

Qiao Bang turned his head to look at Nie Xiaolong and saw that he was also recording. He smiled knowingly and continued to review the key words he had recorded.

Looks like I have to reorganize tonight...
