Chapter 55 Video 1
[Li Shimin's first half of life mixed clip——

Passionate music started playing, and a brief introduction was given in white text on a black background at the beginning.

The scene then changed, showing a man and a horse galloping in the desert, with the words: Young Master Taiyuan, coming in a brown fur coat.

<In the eleventh year of Daye, at the age of sixteen> he joined the army at Yanmen and offered advice to save Emperor Yang of Sui from the siege of the Turks, showing his talent for the first time.

＜In the twelfth year of Daye, aged seventeen＞ He followed his father to defeat Wei Daoer’s uprising army and put down the anti-Sui rebellion in Shanxi.

＜In the 13th year of Daye, aged 18＞ He raised an army in Taiyuan, commanded the right three armies, defeated the Sui general Song Laosheng, and went straight to Chang'an.

＜The first year of Wude·19 years old＞ Li Yuan changed the country's name to Tang, established the Wude era, and appointed Li Shimin as Shangshu Ling, You Wuhou General, promoted him to King of Qin, and granted him the title of Governor of Yongzhou.

＜In the first year of Wude, aged 19＞ He defeated an enemy force of over 100,000 at Qianshuiyuan, forced Xue Rengao to surrender, and pacified Longxi.

＜In the second year of Wude, aged 20＞ He led his troops to Longmen Pass, crossed the Yellow River on ice, and confronted the army of Song Jingang.

＜In the third year of Wude, aged 21＞ He wiped out the forces of Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, recovered the lost territory in Shanxi, and consolidated the Hedong region.

＜In the third year of Wude, aged 21＞ he led his army to attack Wang Shichong, captured various cities one after another, and besieged Wang Shichong in the isolated city of Luoyang.

＜In the fourth year of Wude, at the age of 22＞ In the Battle of Hulao Pass, he defeated Dou Jiande's army of more than 100,000 with a smaller force.

＜In the fourth year of Wude, aged 22＞ He escorted Dou Jiande to the city of Luoyang, forced Wang Shichong to surrender, and unified the north.

＜In the fourth year of Wude, at the age of 22＞ he was given the title of “General of Tiance” and was allowed to appoint his own officials.

＜In the fourth year of Wude, at the age of 22＞ he opened the Academy of Literature and gathered 18 scholars.

＜In the fourth year of Wude, at the age of 22＞ he led the army to attack Liu Heita.

＜In the fifth year of Wude, at the age of 23＞ He defeated Liu Heita’s army in the Battle of Mingshui, and returned to severely inflict damage on Xu Yuanlang, recovering Hebei and Shandong.

＜In the seventh year of Wude, when he was 25 years old＞When the Turks invaded, he led more than a hundred cavalrymen to negotiate with Jie Li Khan, and used a counter-espionage strategy to cleverly repel the Turkic army.

＜In the ninth year of Wude, at the age of 27＞ he launched the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" and in the same year Li Yuan succeeded him to the throne.

＜The first year of Zhenguan, 28 years old＞ He changed the era name to Zhenguan, and started the prosperous era of "Zhenguan Reign". 】

[This age shocked me, a true young hero, I was still calling “Mom” “Mom” every day when I was 21.]
[Saving the world and bringing peace to the people! Face reading renamed: "With the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun and the sky, he will be able to save the world and bring peace to the people when he reaches adulthood."]
[Call for General Tiance.]
[Knowing that he is called the King of Qin, I know he is definitely not a simple person.]
[Since ancient times, those called the King of Qin were not ordinary people. The last King of Qin was our Emperor Qin Shi Huang.]
[At this time, Ming Qin Wang Zhu Chong sent a dog head emoticon.]
[A lifetime of fun is a reflection of reality, but the life span is a bit short.]
[It’s a pity, but Xiao Huo was speechless at this time, saying that over fifty years old shouldn’t be too long.]
[Hahaha, it’s already doubled.]
[I was deeply influenced by movies and TV dramas, and always thought he was just a background figure and was promiscuous and unfaithful. It was only when I grew up that I realized how powerful he was.]
[I understand. In the TV series, Li Er can love anyone except Empress Zhangsun. How ridiculous!]
[The young hero, dressed in fine clothes and riding a vigorous horse, is directly personified.]
[Among the negative information about Li Shimin, only the Xuanwu Gate Incident is real; the others are questionable.]
The emperors of the early Han Dynasty were envious, especially Liu Che, who was eager to fight the Xiongnu: "He is such a good fighter. If he were my son, he would be the crown prince."

Then Li Yuan is just blind.

The person involved, Li Shimin, had mixed feelings.

I was praised, and felt a little secretly happy and a little shy.

When the word Xuanwu Gate was mentioned, he felt embarrassed again. Couldn't this matter be let go? He really didn't want to see the words Xuanwu Gate again.

Also, why did Tianmu say that in some later film or TV series, he was the only person not allowed to love and cherish Guanyin's maid?
Are people in later generations still keen on randomly pairing people up?

(Song-××: It would be great if His Majesty Taizong was the emperor of our Song Dynasty. We would definitely be able to recover our lost territory!)

(Ming-××: If our Ming Emperor Taizu were still alive, he would surely be able to drive away those Qing people.)
(Shu Han-××: Prime Minister! Can you see the sky? We miss you!)
(Shu Han-×× Liang: Of course, Liang doesn’t know what to say, I can only thank you for your concern.)
(Shu Han-×Chan: Wuwuwuwu~ Xiangfu~ Wuwuwu~)

[Save the people from disaster and create a prosperous era of peace——

"It's a pity that this beautiful land has been devastated by wars year after year. I really don't know when the people can live in peace again."

"I, Li Shimin, swear an oath with my blood to defend the city tightly and protect Chang'an. I will not retreat until the enemy is defeated and I will never turn back!"

"If you lose a city, you can take it back. But how easy is it to win over a loyal general?"

"I just want to end this chaotic world as soon as possible and bring peace to the people of the world!"

"In fact, the most important thing is not who becomes emperor, but that he gives the people a peaceful life. As long as the world is peaceful, the people will naturally love him."

"Now that the three kings have been destroyed, the world is truly at peace."】

[Xinghe sighed that this song was so well matched.]
[My childhood idol, he not only played Li Shimin, but also played Li Zhi, the most sinister Li Zhi.]
[I have seen it! I like his Li Zhi, it feels closest to history.]
[In fact, the character of Li Shimin in Sui and Tang Dynasties was somewhat weakened, but this face fits the image of Li Shimin in my mind very well.]
[Wow, in one word: handsome.]
[Ancient costume male god, my old baby!]
[That makes sense. As long as you give the people a peaceful life, they will naturally love you, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang.]
[If I were to travel through time and find that the emperor was Li Shimin, I would be very relieved.]
People of all dynasties have felt this deeply, especially those living in troubled times.

Yes, they don’t ask for much, they just want peace in the world.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was filled with emotion. All he wanted was peace for the world. This later romance truly expressed his inner thoughts.

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "This kid in the future still looks a little weak, and he only performs half of your majesty's spirit!"

Li Jing nodded: "Your Majesty is extremely brave, it is great that you can perform a little bit."

Li Chengqian's eyes were shining: "Aye must be the best!"

Li Tai, who was one year younger than Li Chengqian, pouted in dissatisfaction: "Who is Li Zhi? Is he Aye's offspring? Why does this person only play Aye and Li Zhi, and not the eldest brother and Qingque?"

Li Shimin was touched by his eldest son's admiring eyes. Hearing what his second son said, he laughed out loud and said to Empress Changsun, "Look, Qingque must be jealous."

Liu Che was also deeply touched, and said to his ministers: "Did you see that? The Han Dynasty is not at peace yet. We must fight the Xiongnu. Only by scaring them can the people of the Han Dynasty be truly safe."

There were still many people below who disagreed, but they did not speak out at this time. Now that His Majesty saw that Tianmu was getting too excited, when he came to his senses, he would realize that he really could not afford to fight.

Liu Bang finished his drink and said: "The First Emperor was so majestic in the past, but it's a pity that the Second Emperor of Qin was so cruel and tyrannical that he lost the support of the people. The Han Dynasty must learn a lesson."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "I don't know when the Song Dynasty will be able to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and complete the unification?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily: "We have regained the orthodoxy of the Central Plains from the Yuan Dynasty. I wonder how it will be evaluated in the future."

[Since we are talking about Li Zhi, the host will play another video, in which the same actor plays Li Zhi. ]

[Okay, okay, I want to see it. That’s what Li Zhi should be like. Gaozong is not a weak and incompetent person.]
[Indeed, some screenwriters are unable to write Wu Zetian as she should be, and can only use Li Zhi to weaken her to highlight Wu Zetian's power, which is both insulting Li Zhi and weakening Wu Zetian. It's really enough.]
(Wu Zhou-××tian: I want to see how Emperor Gaozong and I will be seen by future generations?)
[If you are a fan of Wu Zetian, I advise you to watch other dramas carefully to avoid being angry. However, this version of Li Zhi is good, a top-notch black lotus.]
[A weak, sentimental and incompetent emperor? ——

Zhang Sun Wuji said in a strong tone: "If Your Majesty does not write, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you can announce it to the world and depose the emperor!" "In the future, before Your Majesty issues an order, please discuss it with me. I will tell Your Majesty what should and should not be done. I will take my leave now."

Li Zhi was helpless: "You have seen it all. The power is not in my hands, and I don't have the final say on the imperial edict."

"I want to depose the queen and make Consort Wu the queen."

Ministers: "Your Majesty, please think twice~"

Li Zhi was furious: "Your Majesty? What kind of emperor am I?"

Wu Mei Niang: "If you can't bear the little things, you will ruin the big plans."

Zhang Sun Wuji: "My Lady, even if someone wants to cover the sky with one hand, there are still places that cannot be covered, right?"

Li Zhi: "What a clear distinction between rewards and punishments! The Queen is innocent and cannot be punished? Pass on my decree. Queen Wang, who was jealous by nature and killed Wu Zhaoyi's little princess, is hereby deposed from her position as Queen and will be executed on a chosen day!"

"These are the ten major crimes that I have listed for Changsun Wuji. They are enough to confiscate his property and exterminate his entire clan."

Wu Meiniang: "You are also one of his nine clans."

Li Zhi: "Oh? Hahahaha~ I almost forgot about this. I will spare his life and send him to exile."

"After all these years, I can finally hold my head high and feel proud!"

Wu Mei Niang: "This price is too high."

Li Zhi: "Oh, no price is worth mentioning."

Wu Mei Niang: "The emperor's power is unpredictable, and I feel like I am in a fog. I have no chance of winning at all."

……

Li Zhi: "That was Emperor Yang of Sui who was incompetent and tyrannical. Now the Sui Dynasty has been destroyed and now it is the Tang Dynasty! Then we must follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty!"

"How dare you threaten me!"

"These people are so greedy, huh, but I won't let them have their way."

"I must carry forward the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty like Taizu and Taizong did."

"In terms of means, I believe that few people in the world can compare to me. I am just too tired. Many times, I hope someone can help me. I will teach you."

"It is easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it. If we don't sacrifice our lives to govern the country well, how can we let the people of the world live a good life in peace and contentment?"

"For the happiness of the world, sacrificing one person's happiness is worth it. Those so-called little love affairs are simply insignificant."

"I only love Mei Niang in my life, because of your talent and patience, only you are worthy of me."】

There are subtitles explaining it on the side.

[In the early Tang Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic families was huge. The Guanlong Group was headed by Zhangsun Wuji. In the early period of Li Zhi's reign, power was controlled by his uncle Zhangsun Wuji.

Li Zhi supported Wu Zetian, who had no identity background, in order to win over the Han clan group and make Wu Zetian oppose Zhangsun Wuji.

Queen Wang, who was from the Wang family of Taiyuan, was deposed and Wu Meiniang was made queen.

By exiling Zhangsun Wuji, Emperor Gaozong got rid of the control of the Guanlong Group in the court and gradually consolidated the imperial power. People in later generations believed that Emperor Gaozong was kind and Emperor Wu was cruel.

Li Zhi conquered the Western Turks and Goguryeo. During Li Zhi's reign, the Tang Dynasty's territory expanded the most.

Li Zhi was extremely diligent in his work, but his health gradually began to deteriorate, so he taught Wu Zetian how to handle government affairs.

In the first year of Shangyuan, Li Zhi officially issued an edict to rule together with Empress Wu Meiniang.
After the video was played, it gave the people under the sky a little shock.

Ruling together with the queen? This Emperor Gojong really doesn't follow the usual path.

Many emperors were shocked.

Li Shimin, Li Zhi's biological father, was the most shocked. His son was so courageous and kind-hearted that he actually ruled the country together with the queen.

A child was frightened by Li Zhi's gentle but ruthless methods. He hid behind his mother and asked in a low voice: "Mom, are all emperors so powerful?"

He looks scary when he laughs.

His mother was also a little scared, but she calmed down after thinking about it, "As long as he is good to the people, he is a good emperor."

As for whether he is a good person or not, the common people can’t see it anyway, so they don’t need to care. As long as he is a good emperor, that’s enough.

[At that time, I was young and was so busy looking at the beauties that I didn’t notice that the emperor was Li Zhi. Now it seems that he is really black-hearted.]
[It's so funny that the most historically accurate Li Zhi actually came from an idol drama.]
[The 95 CP is really cool! ]
[How could an emperor who expanded the Tang Dynasty to its largest territory during his reign and exterminated countless aristocratic families be a merciful person?]

[Li Zhi is really not an ordinary person. The Li family's "enterprising" spirit towards the throne is enough to make men and women cry. He was able to ascend to the throne legitimately, which alone is amazing.]
[Very good, he is the father and he is also the son.]
[He is ambitious and strategic, which perfectly fits the saying that a good emperor is not a good person.]
[The biggest mistake Li Zhi made in his life was predicting Wu Zetian's life span. Who could have thought she would live that long? He also never thought that Wu Zetian would usurp the throne.]
[Wu Zetian: Thumbs up silently.]
[Hahaha~]

In the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Zhi had just deposed Queen Wang and replaced her with Empress Wu.

He chuckled: "It seems that people in later generations also recognize the Queen's talent. However, I would like to know what Wu Zhou meant. Can the Queen explain it?"

Empress Wu's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, but her expression remained calm. "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, Queen, I was just joking with you. You should just focus on looking at the sky. Who can predict what will happen in the future?" Li Zhi interrupted with a smile again.

Empress Wu on the side calmed down. Both of them had guesses in their minds, but neither of them would point them out easily.

This is their tacit understanding.
