Empress Wu, Di Gong? Luoshui was shocked

Moreover, the case involves officials at all levels, including the imperial palace, imperial relatives, imperial clans, the three provinces, the six ministries, the five supervisors, the various prefectures within the Great Wall, and the governors. Almost all the important officials in the Tang Dynasty, the capital, and the Great Wall are involved.

With such a dangerous situation, how can our young and ambitious Emperor of the Great Tang sleep peacefully on his dragon bed? !

Among the concubines in the palace, from Queen Wang onwards, Concubine Zheng Guifei, one of the four first-rank ladies, was from the Xingyang Zheng family, one of the five surnames and seven prestige families;

The second-ranked Concubine Xiao Shufei was from the Lanling Xiao family, a top-ranking family that was definitely not inferior to the five surnames and seven prestige families;

The third-ranked Concubine Cui Defei was also from the Qinghe Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven prestige families;

The fourth-ranked Concubine Yang Xianfei was indeed from the Hongnong Yang family, the top-ranking family of Guanlong.

As for the nine concubines of the second-rank official status, except for the Wu Zhaoyi, who had an affair with the current emperor and was suspected of incest, she was a concubine from an ordinary family of a small surname, and the other eight concubines were all legitimate daughters and beauties from Guanlong noble families.

Speaking of which, the situation of the concubines in the harem like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is particularly ironic. Since the founding of the country by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties have been deeply worried and anxious about the top noble families and aristocratic families who have inherited the bloodline of their families as the foundation of their lives and families, and have been passed down for thousands of years. They advocate the way of identifying people, selecting people, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts. The way of selecting, rewarding, punishing, promoting, and demoting officials is based on the family background of the person. Whether he is a descendant of a noble family or a top noble family is the first and most important necessary condition.

For these top noble families, the sons and daughters of noble families, and the students and descendants, they almost monopolized the court, the three provinces and six ministries, as well as the frontier officials and local officials, and various key and important official positions.

Political interest groups, huge forces and strength, complicated in-laws and nepotism, dirty tricks and means of collusion and mutual collusion, and even their strong momentum, momentum, strength and reputation, even surpassing the Hongnong Yang family and the Longyou Li family, the two dynasties have the power of life and death, and the reality of the supreme power of the royal family, is even more deeply feared, like a thorn in the throat, a thorn in the back, imminent, and a worry in the heart.

In order to completely and thoroughly solve these problems, the emperor's supreme power, the ruling power of the temple, the court, the military and political power of the entire empire, and even the top noble families and aristocratic families that were able to overthrow the imperial regime of the Hongnong Yang family, had been seriously threatened.

The former Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was willing to gamble on the fate of his former Sui Dynasty;

He gambled on the fate of his Hongnong Yang family.Destiny and future;

Even at the risk of his life and property, the life and head of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, he did several things in succession, which accelerated and eventually led to the shocking events of the former Sui Dynasty, the destruction of the country, the destruction of the family, and the extinction of the family.

One of them was that he spent countless national funds and material resources, mobilized millions of civilians, vigorously built the Eastern Capital Luoyang, and moved the capital there in the first year of Daye.

The intention was to move the ruling foundation of the former Sui Dynasty from the power of the Guanlong nobles and wealthy families, where the power of the court and the country gathered, to the heart of the Central Plains Heluo where various political forces and interest groups were relatively weak.

In order to achieve a temporary stable political balance between the Guanlong nobles and wealthy families and the Shandong clans and the major famous families, these two powerful political interest groups.

The second is to better achieve the purpose of "diverting the trouble to the east", or "diverting the trouble to the west", or "diverting the trouble to the south", or even "diverting the trouble to the north".

When Emperor Yang of Sui built and moved the capital to Luoyang, he balanced and started to implement an unprecedented grand plan.

It took countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to dig a Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty that was enough to shock the world, connect the heartland of the Central Plains, the transportation river, and the north and south of the Yangtze River.

The third is to greatly weaken the powerful Guanlong nobles and wealthy families, their solid and strong political and military strength, and at the same time, to do their best to recruit, mobilize, wear and consume the Shandong clans and major famous families, their huge cultural heritage, influence, and economic and financial resources, in order to achieve the original intention of this wonderful emperor to kill two birds with one stone, or even kill several birds with one stone.

The rather hysterical and rebellious former Emperor Yang of Sui, while using all the national strength and forced laborers to dig and connect the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, had completely ignored the boiling public resentment of the millions of common people and the people of the world who were overwhelmed and resented by the gods and people. At this moment when the ruling foundation of the entire empire was already in a precarious situation of being on the verge of collapse, he launched three consecutive national wars to conquer Goguryeo in the east.

What can I do...

It's just that this former Emperor Yang Guang, who was ambitious, self-willed, incompetent, unsophisticated, and without any tenacity and will to take responsibility, really relied on his extraordinary self-righteousness, rebelliousness, and his "divine skills" and "incomparable wisdom" of power and tactics, which were even better than Zhao Kuo, the "world-famous general" of Zhao State in the Warring States Period, who was good at talking about war on paper. In the end, he still ended up with a miserable and tragic end of repeated defeats, the collapse of Liaodong, the disaster to the world, the people's livelihood, the smoke of war, the frequent wars, the uselessness of taking refuge in Jiangdu, the death of his soul, the destruction of his country and his family.

...

And he and the former Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty were both from the top family of Guanlong nobles, and they were also legitimate relatives.

According to normal etiquette and rules, the orthodox order of seniority should be addressed respectfully.The former Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong, who was called "cousin", was actually a domineering emperor who loved to show off and was stubborn and self-willed. However, this "Heavenly Khan", who was famous all over the world, possessed tenacity, perseverance, stubbornness, persistence, courage, charm, wisdom, strategy, military tactics, war tactics, martial arts, and skills. No matter from which aspect, he seemed to be a little bit better than the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who lost the country.

Therefore, the reputation, merits, achievements, contributions, and mourning of the people and the whole world for the legacy of a king who died in the second generation, and our famous and renowned Emperor Taizong, are naturally as different as the fire of a firefly and the brilliance of the sun and the moon, as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

Emperor Taizong, who was wise, wise, high-spirited, ambitious, and swift, but also arrogant and self-willed, once wanted to completely eliminate all those who were above all classes by relying on his vast Tang Empire, the mighty and majestic armored soldiers, the hardworking and hardworking people, and Emperor Taizong's own civil and military achievements and resolute and tenacious confidence. Not only does he not do anything productive, does not know the difference between the five kinds of grains, and is lazy, but all he does all day is indulge in feasting, eating, singing, and talking big. He also unscrupulously exploits the people of the Tang Dynasty, plunders them, and imposes heavy taxes on them. This has even seriously threatened the top noble families and aristocratic families who have absolute control over the Tang Empire.
