The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The so-called worldly affairs are nothing but white clouds and gray dogs.

Since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the entire Tang Dynasty has ushered in a prosperous era of peace and prosperity. The treasury is full and the people are rich. Even ordinary families have a surplus of dozens of taels of silver a year.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the economy. Beijing and Chang'an have become the world's trade centers. Beijing, in particular, has become the hub of trade between the north and south, foreign countries in the Western Regions, and the Central Plains, and has been built to be extremely prosperous.

A scholar once described Beijing like this:

"I don't recite poetry when I go to Beijing. It turns out that Beijing is full of great prose. Thirteen thousand miles away, every household smells the aroma of wine and meat."

In addition, many of Li Changqing's early measures have also yielded results. The population of the Tang Dynasty has increased to tens of millions, and the people are enlightened and the social atmosphere is clear. In some places, it has even reached the point where people do not pick up things on the road and do not close their homes at night.

And all of this comes from For His Majesty Emperor Wu, who worked hard both before and after he ascended the throne, the country's cohesion and support for the ruler reached an unprecedented level.

……

……

The Empress ascended to the Zen throne, and Emperor Wu ascended to the throne of Dabao. There was only one emperor left in the Tang Dynasty.

This was not the most shocking thing. Later, it was reported that the empress after abdicating the throne entered the harem of Emperor Wu and became a noble concubine.

This incident can be said to have shocked both the government and the public, but no one dared to comment at all.

Imperial family affairs are inherently taboo, and the love between Li Xiuning and Emperor Wu Li Changqing is well known to the world. What if they enter Emperor Wu's harem?

Who dares to bite the tongue even a little bit, I am afraid that the 400,000 veterans of the Tang Dynasty cavalry will be the first to refuse and will definitely tear their mouths apart!

These 400,000 cavalry are the direct troops of Li Changqing and Li Xiuning. They were brought out by them personally. They are very different from the troops trained by Li Jing later.

In their eyes, their two former coaches are a match made in heaven, and their status as sworn sisters and sworn brothers is nothing!

However, what puzzled many ministers was that Emperor Wu did not establish Li Xiuning as the queen, and still left the queen's position vacant, and Li Xiuning had no objection to this.

Others don’t understand, but in fact, there are probably only a few people who know the reasons.

……

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

Because of political clarity and good weather in the Tang Dynasty, the rule of going to court every day has been changed to once every three days. This is not because the emperor and his ministers are lazy, but because they are truly helpless.

If you don't pile up all the events of the three days and state them together, how about talking about a few small things every day and then just stand there and stare?

On this day's meeting, there were still no important political matters reported. Most matters were handled in batches by officials at all levels, and few matters reached Li Changqing's desk.

Today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the country nine years ago where hundreds of businesses were waiting to be developed and a king was required to do everything.

There are many talented people in the court, the people are happy and the weather is good, and it is a prosperous age.

After reporting on several political matters, the hall became surprisingly stiff and silent.

Li Changqing is sitting on the dragon's throne. His demeanor is becoming more majestic now, more calm and restrained, and he has the aura of an emperor who is not angry but is proud of himself.

But now he held his chin with one hand, looked at the civil and military officials and said with a smile:"My lords, are you going to leave the court early again today? That is really boring. It seems that I need to change it to every ten days. It's time to go to court."

The ministers couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Li Changqing's words were naturally a joke. No matter how little government affairs were involved, it could not be less than three days and one morning.

Born in sorrow, died in happiness

"Today, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the people live in peace, the treasury is full, and the army and horses are strong, all thanks to your majesty."

Wei Zheng said with a smile.

Li Jing also made a harmless joke:"That's true. Your Majesty has caused me to be in the prime of life, but my ambition has nowhere to show it."

This remark naturally attracted a burst of good-natured laughter.

Only Fang Xuanling kept touching his chin, and then said thoughtfully:"Your Majesty, I personally believe that your Majesty's achievements are astonishing and unparalleled by future generations. They are not as good as Mount Tai. To commemorate Zen and erect a monument to commemorate one’s achievements?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers' eyes suddenly lit up.

Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been known as the first mountain in China and the only one among the five mountains. In addition to its own majesty, another reason is that the ancient saint kings all enshrined themselves in Mount Tai.

Emperors such as Fuxi, Shennong, Yao, Shun, Yu, Zhou Wang, Qin Shihuang, etc. all had their conferments on Mount Tai, which further established Mount Tai's transcendent status. The consecration of Mount Tai was of great significance. Generals regarded it as the highest honor to consecrate the wolf to Xu, and civil servants to die. Being hanged is an honor, and the highest honor for an emperor is to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai and erect a monument to tell the world.

Since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, no emperor has dared to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai, because the matter of enshrining Zen is not a trivial matter. If one's own merits are not enough or not If he occupies the orthodox position, then the title of Zen Taishan will be just a joke, and will be despised by all generations.

But Li Changqing definitely has this qualification! Just talking about his achievements, he conquered the barbarians, unified the world, and created a prosperous age!

Just these three things, any one of them is enough. Feng Chan, Li Changqing's achievements are more than that! His achievements have reached a level that is enough to shame all emperors!

If Li Changqing is not qualified to Feng Chan Taishan, then the emperors who have Feng Chan Taishan throughout the ages will be shameless.

"I think what Mr. Fang said is very true. I sincerely request your Majesty to enshrine it on Mount Tai and erect a monument to tell the world!"

Wei Zheng was the first to speak out in agreement, bowing and saying.

Many ministers looked excited and said one after another:"I second my opinion! His Majesty’s achievements are astonishing to the present! Please, Your Majesty, enshrine me in Mount Tai!"

"Your Majesty is the only emperor of the ages, more so than Yao, Shun, and the First Emperor in ancient times. He should be enshrined on Mount Tai to show his merits!"

"I sincerely request your Majesty to grant Zen to Mount Tai!"

……

There was excitement in the voices of all the ministers.

If Li Changqing was enshrined in Mount Tai and passed down through the ages, they would also be honored. You must know that they are the ministers of this emperor who has lived forever! He also made a contribution to the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty!

If you are lucky enough to have a sentence mentioned on the inscription, it will be a great honor comparable to leaving your name in history!

After hearing the advice of many ministers, Li Changqing pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves and said with a smile:"Then, as the ministers said, I will be granted the title of Zen and Mount Tai!"
