August 8 is getting closer and closer, and the days of Datang are getting fewer and fewer day by day.
This empire, which has created countless splendors and glories, will eventually pass away.
The Hanlin Academy recently received a task, the task given to them by the regent Zhang Chao.
Write history for this dying empire.
For generations, it was the latter dynasty that revised the history of the previous dynasty.
Revising history can be regarded as making a coffin judgment on a dynasty and the emperor of that dynasty.
Fang Xuanling is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the dean of the Hanlin Academy, and he will be the editor-in-chief of this history.
The Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, and he is a person who has experienced it firsthand, and he is very familiar with the Tang Dynasty, and even the three generations of kings of the Tang Dynasty are also very familiar to him.
But when he opened the scroll and lifted the pen, he didn't know where to put it.
How should he evaluate this empire?
"Glory belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and greatness belongs to China."
This is his reply to the regent Zhang Chao after he asked Zhang Chao, which will also be the tone of this Tang history.
As the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chao did not ask him to attack and slander the Tang Dynasty.
The founding emperor Li Yuan was far-sighted and his taoguang was full of strategic vision, this was quite a great emperor, if it weren't for him, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty would have lasted longer.
It was this emperor who quickly ended the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and stabilized the world.
Of course, Li Shimin has more meritorious achievements, he implemented new policies such as dividing feuds, promoting industry and commerce, reforming the imperial examination, etc., so that the Central Plains quickly recovered from the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and in just a dozen years to reach unprecedented strength, opening up countless territories, this is a great monarch.
Even if he is a Chengqian, he also has the ability to protect the Dharma, and he has contributed to Huaxia.
Zhang Chao's only requirement for this Tang history is to be true, comprehensive, and not biased.
Although the Tang was short-lived, they were as good as Qin Rusui, and they were a great dynasty.
Although the three emperors had their own shortcomings, such as Li Yuan's excessive pursuit of balance, not only playing balance in the court, but also playing balance among his sons, in the end, he personally caused the bloody Xuanwu Sect of his sons, and he could only abdicate gloomily.
The restoration after a few years of death brought his reputation to the ground.
Li Shimin is also a great monarch, although he also usurped the throne by force, but after succeeding to the throne, he was able to accept advice, was very open-minded, insisted on implementing the new policy, and encouraged the soldiers to expand the territory with the feudal system, so that the Tang Dynasty swept around and expanded the land for thousands of miles.
The empire was strong and prosperous, and the people lived a prosperous life.
It's just that later he became obsessed with the art of Danshi immortality, changed his thinking, acted perversely, and was not tolerated by the world, and was defeated in the Dharma Protector War, and was finally exiled to the Americas.
Cheng Qian was also a young and promising emperor, but he was bent on centralizing power.
Everyone has their greatness and their vision is lacking.
Their greatness has created the glory of Datang.
Glorious and great.
No matter how many flattering words there are, it is not too much for Datang.
But in the end, such a powerful empire was not destroyed at the hands of foreigners, but was replaced in this bloodless coup d'état.
In a few days, the Chinese Empire will be established on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and the regent Zhang Chao will also become the founding emperor of the empire, and he will also become the great scholar of this new empire.
In fact, except for the change of an emperor, this new empire is still a continuation of the Tang.
Just as the Tang was a continuation of the Sui back then.
Even the Chinese Empire was even simpler and more relaxed on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, except for the eldest grandson Wuji and others who were exiled overseas with the emperor, and did not even shed a drop of blood.
Emperor Li Shimin once saw the danger caused by the sub-feudal system, and there would be princes who had the strength to challenge the imperial court, and he wanted to abolish the sub-feudal system and re-centralize power.
But the prince was already unwilling, he wanted to suppress industry and commerce, and suppress those powerful capitalists, but those people also refused.
He thought that he would be able to defeat them, but in the end it was himself who was defeated, and even the man who carried the flag was still his crown prince.
He once realized that the imperial power was threatened, and he wanted to centralize power, but the elders refused to hand over power.
He tried to fight, but in the end he lost his throne.
Zhang Chao, who is the strongest and has always won the hearts of the people, finally came to the forefront and became self-reliant on behalf of Tang.
But Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, father and son were unwilling to let go of the power, but Zhang Chao took the initiative to give up a lot.
He was willing to make a covenant and establish a constitution to limit the imperial power.
This is simply unprecedented.
Although Zhang Chao has not yet been proclaimed emperor, he has indeed won the hearts of the people.
The people do remember the good of Datang in their hearts, but everyone is also looking forward to welcoming Zhang Chao's new dynasty.

It's an amazing result.
Compile the history of the Tang Dynasty, more than 20 years of history.
In such a short history of several decades, how to embody his greatness and glory, and how to write down the reasons why he was extremely powerful but collapsed, so that future generations can reflect on and be vigilant It's a really tall order.
And in this history, he Fang Xuanling, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, participated in the planning of the Xuanwumen change three times, and now he will become an important minister of the new dynasty, how should he position himself in this history and Zhang Chao This prosperous and powerful hero of the Tang Dynasty finally became the gravedigger of the Tang Dynasty, he single-handedly promoted the glory of the Tang Dynasty, but buried the Tang Dynasty with his glory.
For this emperor, how should it be written in the history books.
And those who were exiled, and those who remained.
How will these people, who must have a place in the history books of the Tang Empire, write.
Fair.
The regent Zhang Chao's request was simple and direct, but Fang Xuanling found it difficult.
Cabinet.
The second minister, Ma Zhou, handed a piece of music to Zhang Chao.
"This is about the development plan of the two mines in the country."
"Isn't this matter already decided" Zhang Chao took it and asked while flipping through it.
It has indeed been set before, and even the development of these two mines has become the fuse for the emperor to step down and the Tang Dynasty to perish.
At that time in Parliament, the emperor's plans were thwarted, and their plans were supported by Parliament.
However, before he could recruit shareholders, Zhang Chao came back.
Now, he wanted to ask Zhang Chao what he meant about this matter.
Zhang Chao looked through it, and the plan has been greatly changed from the original.
Originally, the mine was returned to the imperial court, and then contracted by the imperial court, and the noble officials and parliamentarians of the Tang Dynasty contributed to subscribe for shares.
Now, the parliament proposed that the two mines were discovered by Zhang Chaokantan, so the mineral rights belong to the Zhang family.
"Actually, there is no need, since this matter has been voted on in parliament and passed the plan, I think the original plan is quite good."
Zhang Chao closed the plan, shook his head, and chuckled.
He understands the thoughts of many people, he Zhang Chao will soon become the emperor of the new dynasty, and he Zhang Chao is not a Chengqian. is the same emperor, but the power in his hands is very different.
And this mine was indeed discovered by the Zhang family, so they thought it could be returned to the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Chao is not the kind of person who eats alone, he is the emperor, and he is not short of this money.
The emperor's power also comes from the support of the people below, and every time he offends the people below, his support is less.
Just like Li Shimin or Cheng Qian, sooner or later, their support rate will fall out, and then they will become alone.
"My meaning remains the same, the mineral rights are owned by the imperial court, and then the imperial court is open to bidding.
You can bid for the right to contract, and the two mines are separated.
Whether it is a nobleman, a parliamentarian or an ordinary businessman, as long as he has the strength, he can participate in the auction, set a minimum deposit, as long as he can pay the deposit, he can obtain the right to bid. ” "The one with the highest price wins."
These are some changes that Zhang Chao is willing to accept, no longer saying that only parliamentarians are eligible to bid, but that everyone has the right to bid in a fair, just and open way.
Of course, those who have won the auction can also issue shares to recruit partners and operate together.
The imperial court is only responsible for supervising and collecting taxes, and the rest is in accordance with the rules of the market.
"Wouldn't it be too simple, and it wouldn't be fair to the Zhang family."
"This is also simple, according to the rules of the imperial court, the Zhang family discovered these two major minerals, and they can get a reward from the imperial court.
The Zhang family can also participate in the bidding, everything is fair, just and open. ” "But there is one thing you said that also makes sense, and the interests of the court must also be taken into account.
Therefore, the person who took the auction must ensure the output of copper and silver, and must reach a certain output every year, otherwise he will be fined, and in serious cases, the qualification for contracting business will be cancelled. ” Silver and copper are important materials, and after they are mined, in addition to taxes, they must also be purchased by the imperial court.
If the production is insufficient, it will also harm the interests of the imperial court.
Zhang Chao is ready to let people form two mining companies and go to a fair auction at that time.
If the contracting right is auctioned, then a large group of princes who have a good relationship with the Zhang family will be involved in the partnership.
Anyway, everyone has the right to earn, such as Cheng Qian's idea of not opening his eyes when he sees money and wanting to make money everywhere, Zhang Chao still cares more about the interests of his supporters.
"Regent, there's a sentence I don't know if to ask or not."
Ma Zhou hesitated.
"If you have something to say, how many years have we been old friends, do you still need to support me?"
"It's about the fief that the eldest grandson family and others have been exchanged for."

Ma Zhou said, "Many people are eyeing these fiefdoms, for example, I heard that Su Lie said in private that he had made the greatest contribution this time, and he thought that he should be replaced by Yili." ” Ma Zhou didn't have a bad relationship with Su Lie, so he deliberately beat him for a small report.
It's just that he thinks it's his responsibility to report these things to Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao smiled, "Su Lie, he's been getting more and more mouthless recently. ” Ma Zhou said these words, he actually knew for a long time, there is a dark shadow, and now the six doors and the flying horse are loyal to him, where is a little bit of wind and grass he will not know.
However, he didn't think there was a problem with Su Lie's loyalty, but he had indeed been a little arrogant recently.
The Yili Valley is indeed fertile, and many of the fiefs that have been recovered by the exiled princes such as Li Daozong are very fertile.
Not to mention that Su Lie fell in love with Yili, other fiefdoms were also targeted by many people.
Everyone thinks that they are heroes, and there are ministers from the dragon, and of course they want to get some benefits.
"I intend to take the Ili Valley under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, including Dawan, as well as fiefdoms such as Liuqiu, Luzon, and Java.
However, the fiefs recovered from Monan, Liaobei, Xindu, Hezhong, Xihai and other places will still be used by the imperial court to divide them among meritorious heroes and clans. ” "The South China Sea places such as Liuqiu and Luzon will not be divided in the future" "It is not divided, it is all a place directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it will be slowly developed in the future.
In the future, the Northeast, Mobei, Lingbei, Xindu, and Hezhong will continue to be divided into feudal places. ” Ma Zhou thought about it, this is not wrong, the more the princes are sealed, the central court must also maintain a strong strength, otherwise, the weak cadres and strong branches will definitely last long.
"You still have to appease Su Lie, otherwise I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied."
"Don't worry, Su Lie is just more straightforward, he has made great contributions, and I will seriously consider giving him a corresponding reward." t1706231537:
