Chapter 8 Yang Guang: I will shoot down this sky curtain that is misleading people with its lies!
[In 604 AD, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, died at the age of 64, having reigned for 23 years.]

[His son Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Yang of Sui.]

[After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he dug the Grand Canal, built the Eastern Capital, and launched three expeditions to Goguryeo, which consumed the country's strength excessively and caused chaos in the country.]

[In 618 AD, Yu Wenzhi and others launched a coup d'état, and Yang Guang was forced to hang himself. ]

[In the same year, Li Yuan forced Emperor Sui Gong to abdicate, ascended the throne and established the Tang Dynasty, becoming Emperor Gaozu of Tang.]

【The Sui Dynasty, which had existed for 38 years, was destroyed.】

……

Yang Jian: “?”

Yang Yong: “???”

Yang Guang: "???"

Yang Jian was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Although I don’t know why I let Yang Guang succeed to the throne in the end, judging from what this unfilial son did later, he doesn’t look like a wise ruler at all!

Yang Jian paced back and forth in the hall angrily.

Then he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, looked in the direction of Yang Guang and shouted angrily: "This rebellious son!"

"I have fought hard all my life to gain the Sui Dynasty, and you have ruined it like this! You have caused the demise of the Second Emperor of the Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Yong, who reacted, was also very angry.

He said angrily: "Father, Brother Guang is just making a fuss! Goguryeo is just a tiny country, but he has invaded Goguryeo three times, built a lot of buildings, exhausted the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, and caused chaos in the world!"

The ministers around him also said: "Your Majesty, the Sui Dynasty must not be handed over to this man!"

Yang Jian sighed, "It was my fault that I made this bastard the crown prince! Pass on my decree that from today on, Yang Guang will be demoted to a commoner and will never be allowed to enter the ancestral temple for the rest of his life!"

After saying this, he left indignantly, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment!
Yang Guang knelt on the ground with a pale face.

He never imagined that after a lifetime of acting and putting on a show, one day his true colors would be revealed.

He knew that after this incident.

The throne of the Sui Dynasty would no longer be within his reach.

……

at the same time.

During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Yang Guang, who was traveling by himself, was furious when he heard what Tianmu said.

"When I was young, I drove out the Xiongnu in the north, pacified the Chen in the south, and unified the world from north to south!"

"Over the years, I have practiced Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, established the imperial examination system, welcomed the Eastern Capital, opened the Grand Canal, and attracted the attention of all nations. My achievements will last for generations!"

"All those small countries call me the Saint Khan!"

"Whatever I have done has benefited the present and future generations."

"Why are these untouchables rebelling against me?"

"I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Someone, come here! Bring me my big bow!"

"I will shoot down this sky curtain that deceives people with its lies!"

……

[In 626 AD, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, ascended the throne and became emperor, changing the reign title to Zhenguan, and became Emperor Taizong of Tang.]

[During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, he actively listened to the opinions of his ministers, governed the country with culture, accepted advice with an open mind, practiced strict economy, encouraged agriculture and sericulture, so that the people could rest and recuperate, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe, thus creating the famous Zhenguan Reign in Chinese history. ]

[Externally, he expanded the territory, conquered the Eastern Turks and Xueyantuo, conquered Gaochang, Qiuci, and Tuyuhun, severely damaged Goguryeo, established the Four Anxi Towns, and helped all ethnic groups live in harmony. He was honored as the Heavenly Khan by the people of all ethnic groups, laying an important foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years.]

[He is a model for wise rulers in later generations, and is considered by many people in later generations to be a saintly ruler after the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, and an emperor of all ages! ]

It initiated the famous Zhenguan Reign in Chinese history!

God Khan!
A holy lord!
An emperor through the ages!
His achievements are comparable to those of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi!

Looking at the various information recorded on the sky.

All the ministers were moved.

Changsun Wuji, who was known as a flatterer, was the first to kneel down.

Shouting: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and has brought benefits to all people. It is truly a blessing for China!"

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Your Majesty's benevolence is comparable to that of Yao and Shun. I am very happy to serve such a wise king.
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Your Majesty is much wiser than the previous emperors. This is a blessing for all the people in the world."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly: "Let's see who dares to bring up the Xuanwu Gate incident again!"

Yuchi Gong shouted in a muffled voice: "May your majesty live forever and the Tang Dynasty be forever strong!"

Even Li Shimin, the person involved, was filled with turmoil at this moment.

"Heavenly Khan..." "The greatest emperor of all time..."

"I am the greatest emperor of all time..."

Li Shimin's body was trembling slightly.

He originally came to this position in an illegitimate way.

I often worry that future generations will say that I am disloyal and unfilial.

As a result, I couldn't sleep or eat well.

But he never expected that people in later generations would honor him as the greatest emperor of all time.

I was excited for a while.

He just raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up.

His eyes were deep and firm, and he said slowly: "My achievements are due to the assistance of you dear ministers."

"Today, I feel a great sense of responsibility as I read the evaluations of future generations. I hope that our ruler and his subjects will work together to rule the world and live up to the expectations of the people!"

Gained recognition from later generations.

Although Li Shimin was proud, he also felt a lot of pressure and motivation.

I vowed to do better than what was done on the canopy.

The surrounding ministers responded one after another and vowed to work hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Listening to the compliments from the ministers around him and looking at what was said on the sky curtain, Li Shimin was in a good mood.

He said in a loud voice: "Pass on my decree, grant amnesty to the whole world!"

at the same time.

The people of the Tang Dynasty.

There was also laughter.

Celebrate having a good emperor.

In the hearts of the lower-class people, how many people care who the emperor is? Does he care whether the country is ruled by the Sui or Tang dynasty? Is he in the right position?

He who can make them live a good life is a good emperor.

How many people care about those rumors?

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yuan, the retired emperor, had occupied the Taiji Palace out of spite because of his son's military rebellion and drove his second son, Li Shimin, to the Eastern Palace.

Looking at the information on the sky, two lines of tears left in my turbid eyes.

"Could it be that I was wrong not to pass the position to Jilang..."

……

[In 690 AD, Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor and changed the country's name to Zhou, which is known in history as Wu Zhou. She was honored with the title of Holy and Divine Emperor and was the first female emperor in history.]

The information that subsequently appeared on the sky screen.

The originally happy scene was instantly broken.

"The first female emperor in history"

Li Shimin looked at the picture on the sky in shock; he couldn't believe his eyes.

Wu Zetian, a woman, actually usurped the throne of the Li family and became the first female emperor in history? ! !

what's the situation?
For a moment, there was an uproar in the court.

The ministers looked at each other in disbelief.

Wei Zheng frowned, stood up immediately, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, this is treasonous. How can a woman be emperor? This is a blasphemy against the Li Tang Dynasty!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he roared, "This woman is really capable! I, Cheng Yaojin, am willing to lead the army to get rid of this thief for Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin's face also looked a little ugly.

"Waste! Waste!"

"Who is this idiot who did this? How can I let a woman usurp my Li family's kingdom!"

Li Shimin was very angry.

Such a thing actually happened in the Tang Dynasty. How will people in later generations view the Tang Dynasty!

The Han plane.

Deep in the palace, Lu Zhi looked at the information on the sky.

There was a strange light in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Can a woman also be an emperor?"
