Tang Dynasty, Taizong plane.

After Li Shimin saw Huang Chao conquering Tongguan and Tang Xizong abandoning the city and fleeing, he felt angry.

And Li Tai's words pushed Li Chengqian to the forefront.

Seeing Li Shimin's murderous eyes looking at him, Li Chengqian seemed to be trembling, and his legs could not help but tremble.

"father...emperor...., sonchen...sons and ministers..."

Li Chengqian stuttered for a long time, but could not give an excuse.

He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperors of the Tang Dynasty must be of his bloodline. Now that his descendants are so disappointing, what can he say?

But at this time, Wei Zheng stood up and defended Li Chengqian:

"Your Majesty, this matter is the fault of future generations and has nothing to do with the prince."

"Please, Your Majesty, please do not implicate Xizong’s faults on the prince."

"The prince has worked diligently and made no big mistakes. Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin's face calmed down slightly when he heard this, but the anger in his eyes was still ready to burst out.

"How can such a foolish king inherit the throne?"

"Our empire in the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of people like this."

"Waste, incompetent!"

Li Shimin kept scolding, but facing this kind of dog emperor, he seemed to be unable to do anything except curse.

Ming Dynasty, Taizong Plane

"Party strife harms the country. We, the Ming Dynasty, have to keep this lesson in mind and must not repeat the same mistakes. Otherwise, the disaster of Huang Chao will be the end of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the city of Luoyang that was burned to the ground. A mere Huangchao could penetrate Luoyang and then Chang'an unimpeded. This would be a fantasy for other dynasties.

You know, The local army of the Tang Dynasty numbered nearly one million, and they were also warriors who secretly licked blood on the tip of their swords.

The bravery of the Tang people had not faded, and each Jiedushi was able to suppress foreigners from invading with only their own strength, which is enough to prove the strength of the Tang people Fierce.

Huang Chao 01 led a group of farmers into the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which had millions of elites. This scene was really too funny.

All of this stemmed from the prestige of the court, which had dropped to freezing point.

A court without prestige , after all, he was unable to command the Jiedu envoys from all directions, and finally ended up with the country being destroyed and fleeing.

"In the future, if anyone dares to stir up party strife in the court, the clan will be executed!! do you understand?"

Zhu Di's voice became cold, which startled the three brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, and they hurriedly bowed in response.

Zhu Di then looked at Zhu Zhanji. The meaning was obvious. I'm not just talking about your father, but also You.

After all, Zhu Zhanji is the future of the empire, and they are all a bit old.

Zhu Zhanji also knelt down and agreed, and then Zhu Di said:

"Cast this lesson into an iron monument and stand it outside the palace gate so that all the officials passing by can see it and reflect on it!"

【Huang Chao entered Chang'an as he wished. This time, he could finally realize his ideal and become a person looked up to by the world.】

【On the eighth day after entering Chang'an, Huang Chao proclaimed himself emperor in the Hanyuan Hall of the imperial palace, with the reign title of Da Qi.】

【After that, Huang Chao began to raid the wealthy families.】

【After becoming the emperor, Huang Chao immediately issued a decree. All officials above the third rank would have their families confiscated and their families exterminated. Officials below the third rank would be temporarily retained.】

【This is Huang Chao's revenge for failing the exam many times before. If it weren't for these so-called dignitaries, he would not have failed the exam so many times.】

【There wouldn’t be so many people in the world who didn’t have enough to eat, and there wouldn’t be so many injustices.】

【Now that the sword is in his hand, these people will become the dead souls of his sword.】

【In addition to these powerful families, Huang Chao has no intention of letting go of the Tang royal family. He wants to completely release the grievances he has suffered over the years and the anger in his heart.】

【The massacre officially began. In the name of serving the people, Huang Chao dragged the so-called wealthy families like dogs to the execution ground, and then beheaded them.】

【The massacre lasted for nearly more than a month, and the rich smell of blood floated over Chang'an City.】

【The peasant army filled the countryside with murderers, especially those who hated officials. They killed all those who got them. Those who killed the Tang clan in Chang'an were no exceptions.】

【In order to eradicate the root cause, Huang Chao did basically nothing after he ascended the throne. He sent people to conduct a carpet search and executed everyone on the spot who was found.】

【To what extent was it killed? The streets and alleys are full of blood. Walking is like lying across a river in blood. You have to lift up your trouser legs to wade through the water.】

【Huang Chao basically did this when he was running around. It can be said that he is the nemesis of the powerful family. The only thing he has done in this life, and the one thing he has done successfully, is to kill the powerful family.】

【At that time, when people got married or visited each other, they had to hand over music records, which was similar to a token of family introduction.】

【In other words, at that time, the most important thing for people was family. If there was no genealogy, no one would think highly of you at all.】

【After Huang Chao's raids, most of the bureaucratic gentry and big landowners in the late Tang Dynasty were killed. As long as they fell into Huang Chao's hands, they were basically dead.】

【Huang Chao not only killed them all, but also burned the genealogy, and the family customs were all destroyed.】

【After such a massacre like Huang Chao, the clan system collapsed. From then on, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the selection of officials no longer focused on family status, but focused on practical ability.】

【Due to the opening up of classes, more and more children from poor families finally had the opportunity to step onto the stage of the imperial court.】

【There were 369 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, concentrated in 38 old and new sects, and one sect could even produce 15 prime ministers.】

【This is why a child from an aristocratic family can say that he has studied hard for ten years, how can he rival the princes and nobles of my family? confidence】

【In the Song Dynasty, because the gentry no longer existed, no new clan groups could be formed. At that time, the court had no ministers and no centuries-old families. Scholars were selected regardless of family background, and marriages were regardless of family background.】

【From this perspective, Huang Chao can indeed be regarded as the end of the clan system in Chinese history and the liberator of Chinese class imprisonment.】

【Huang Chao's actions told future generations that there is no better way to deal with class enemies than to physically eliminate them.】

【The massacre of Huang Chao continued. Wei Zhuang, a great poet at the time, witnessed this tragedy with his own eyes. He also wrote the longest poem in the Tang Dynasty about it.】

【All the embroidery hubs in Huaxuan were sold out, and not half of the first-class noble families were left.】

【The inner treasury was burned to ashes, and the public's bones were trampled on in the street!】

【How can it be such a bad word?】

【However, after Huang Chao took revenge, he began to slack off and gradually began to ignore military and government affairs.】

【After Tang Xizong fled to Chengdu, he began to call on the soldiers and horses of the world to drive the traitor Huang Chao out of Chang'an.】

【However, except for Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Zheng Tian, ​​other Jiedu envoys lacked interest.】

【Tang Xizong had to spend real money and silver, as well as high-ranking official salaries, to boost morale. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【With the efforts of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, several military governors finally sent troops and jointly launched an attack on Huang Chao.】

【Seeing that the Tang army was approaching fiercely, Huang Chao immediately moved his army to Bashang for defense. The Tang army recovered Chang'an without any effort.】

【The common people were overjoyed to see the Tang army returning, but they didn't expect what would happen next., making them miserable】

【After the coalition forces of these Jiedushi envoys entered Chang'an, they began to burn, kill, loot, and rob women of the people. They committed all kinds of evil. They were more ferocious than Huang Chao's rebel army. They did not care about the cries of the people of Chang'an and went their own way.】

【At this time, Huang Chao took the opportunity to return to Chang'an City and killed the Tang army in the city with corpses everywhere. This was his first crusade against Huang Chao, but it failed because of the greed of the Tang army.】[]

【Subsequently, the two sides began a year-long tug-of-war around Chang'an City.】

【Because Huang Chao had the upper hand in terms of military strength, he was able to gain the upper hand in the face of Jiedushi's siege.】

【After becoming the emperor, Huang Chao began to covet beauty and hang out in the harem, thus neglecting political affairs.】

【At this moment, Tang Xizong saw that the Tang army could not defeat Huang Chao, so he could only choose to transfer Li Keyong from outside the pass back to destroy Huang Chao.】

【Li Keyong was from Shatuo, and he fought bravely. He had a group of Shatuo cavalry under his command, and they were even more brave and good at fighting.】

【It's just that Li Keyong was too rebellious and refused to obey the court's discipline. He was eventually expelled from the Central Plains by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty and could only wander outside the customs.】

【When he heard that the Tang Dynasty wanted to recall him, Li Keyong, who was eating sand outside the pass, was overjoyed and immediately led his troops south to launch a fierce attack on Huang Chao.】

【The previous Tang Army Jiedu envoys who attacked Huang Chao did not work hard, so Huang Chao was able to persist for such a long time.】

【But Li Keyong's attack on Huang Chao was really life-threatening. It was like seeing the enemy who killed his father, and launched a desperate attack on Huang Chao's army.】

【Under Li Keyong's crazy attack, the general Zhu Wen of the Tang Dynasty finally couldn't withstand it anymore, and he immediately asked Huang Chao for help.】

【But Huang Chao was immersed in the gentle countryside, and all his major affairs were handed over to Meng Kai. However, Meng Kai had a grudge against Zhu Wen, so he concealed military information and did not report it.】

【After Zhu Wen asked for help thirteen times in a row, he found that Huang Chao showed no signs of rescuing him. In anger, he killed the supervisors Huang Chao had placed in his army, and then surrendered to the Tang army.】

【After Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty learned that Zhu Wen had surrendered, he was overjoyed and decreed that Zhu Wen would be named the military governor of Xuanwu and his name would be changed to Zhu Quanzhong. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty hoped to use Zhu Quanzhong as an example to recruit more rebels.】

【With Zhu Wen's surrender and the joining of the madman Li Keyong, Huang Chao's situation began to become precarious. With no choice, Huang Chao had to lead the remaining 150,000 troops to leave Chang'an and turn eastward.】

【Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty finally regained Chang'an and quickly sent people to sue the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He then continued to pursue Huang Chao fiercely, vowing to destroy the traitor who made him flee.】

【After Huang Chao left Chang'an, he directed his troops towards Caizhou and forced Qin Zongquan, the governor of Caizhou, to surrender.】

【Huang Chao then took root in Caizhou and continued to send troops to attack in all directions to expand his territory.】

【However, during the attack on Chenzhou, Huang Chao's best friend Meng Kai was captured by Zhao Ji and escorted to the capital, where he was cut into pieces by a thousand swords.】

【Huang Chao was furious and personally led his troops, vowing to avenge Meng Kai.】

【If Huang Chao could get away in time at this time, considering the grievances between the court and Jiedushi, Huang Chao could still survive like a fish in water.】

【However, with so many options for survival, he had to go to the dark side.】

【Huang Chao was a rebel and was not good at attacking tough battles. When he attacked Chenzhou, he suffered heavy losses but could not capture Chenzhou.】

【At this time, Zhu Wen and Li Keyong jointly went south to eliminate Huang Chao under Chenzhou City.】

【Huang Chao was no match for Zhu Wen and Li Keyong, so he could only flee eastward.】

【It's just that at this time, he only had a thousand men under his command, and his army was disorganized and everyone had their own agenda.】

【On the way to escape in 930, Huang Chao was assassinated by his men.】

【In the first half of Huang Chao's life, he was a small fortune and had the opportunity to see a broader world, so he determined to pursue these】

【Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, and after failing the exam four times in a row, he was filled with resentment towards the Tang Dynasty, and the seeds of hatred were sown from then on.】

【In the nine years of the uprising, he has experienced downturns and glory, but one thing is that he has no mercy for those who have bullied him.】

【Since ten years of hard work are not as good as yours, then I will take out my butcher knife and kill all your so-called sense of superiority and uproot it.】

【Huang Chao failed, but he was still a hero. 】

Datang, Taizong plane.

Li Shimin watched the end of Huang Chao, and he didn't know what it felt like for a moment.

As a rebel of the Tang Dynasty who caused so many murders and killings, Li Shimin should be hostile to him.

But as a failed student who massacred so many noble families and completely physically eliminated the thousand-year-old family system, Li Shimin admired him a little.

After all, this is something that even he wanted to do but didn't dare to do, but now Huang Chao has done it

"This yellow nest......"

"It is decreed that no one is allowed to be called Huang Chao in the future. Once discovered, he will be immediately put into prison and tortured."

Although Li Shimin admired Huang Chao in his heart, in order to protect the Tang Dynasty forever, he decided to ban the name Huang Chao from appearing in the future of the Tang Dynasty.

"obey the decree"

"There is also this imperial examination. Let’s work out a process. I want to reopen the imperial examination!"

Li Shimin also began to pay attention to the imperial examination.

If a failed student is so good, how many talents are there in China who have not been attracted by him?

If he wants to discover as many talents as possible, it seems that the only way to go is the imperial examination.

"Your Majesty, Huang Chao failed the examination because he hated the imperial court, which led to a series of tragedies later. This imperial examination, or else it would still be...."

Changsun Wuji said with some hesitation.

But Li Shimin waved his hand and said:

"The root cause of Huang Chao's rebellion is not Huang Chao, but the emperor's ignorance and immorality."

"Don't give up eating because of choking. The imperial examination is necessary. I want to open a door for the people of the world so that they can come in front of me and let me see them."

"obey the decree"......Dividing line......
