Eight hundred and seventy-six, still look at the present

Li Xingzhou would not sit idly by and watch Temujin succeed, and Temujin was also worried, leaving Zhebe to lead an army of 20,000 to guard against the Yang Wenguang legion of Jingguo in the north of Yinshan.

Zheba didn't go to the Western Expedition. Li Xingzhou didn't know what would happen to Temujin's Expedition. However, the joys and sorrows of mankind were not connected. Li Xingzhou could not worry about the sufferings of the people of Central Asia and did not care about it.

Unless Mongolia really threatens Jingguo one day, at least Mongolia is far from able to do it today.

In the second year of Zhaode, Jiaozhi was defeated under the attack of the Jingguo water and land armies.

Good news came to the court one by one, and the ministers congratulated each other, and the world was inspiring and morale was high.

There were also many names among the people that protected the country, served the country, protected the country, and opened the border.

Just as after the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, various names such as protecting the country and destroying slaves were instantly found throughout the country, which also reflects the people's support for the country and their sincere wishes to expand territory.

In June of the second year of Zhaode, Di Zhi's army was triumphant. Li Xingzhou led civil and military ministers to greet him personally. Di Zhi personally sent the tied King Jiaozhi to Li Xingzhou. The people came to watch, wanting to see what the legendary King Jiaozhi looked like.

Li Xingzhou didn't say much. This chicken must be killed. Kill the chicken for the monkey. The monkeys in the world are watching the fate of the Jiaozhi King.

So after the ministers' court discussion, the three departments tried to destroy the three clans of Jiaozhi King on the grounds that they did not accept the king's transformation, did not respect the orders of the sect leader, and rejected Chinese characters and words!

Compared with the previous Liao emperors, the Xia royal family and the Jin royal family, Jiaozhi ended up in a miserable way.

Later, Li Xingzhou issued an edict to the world, informing many vassal states, and conveying a message to the people of the world. The reason why the Jiaozhi royal family was so miserable was that they refused to use Chinese language and refused to use Chinese language.

Suddenly, everyone understood that there was still a way out for resistance by force, but if they resisted Chinese education, they would end up miserably.

As a result, the various vassal states sent their own royal nobles to Kaiyuan, and were arranged by Li Xingzhou to study in the Imperial College.

In the long run, the reason why the vassal states are like this is partly because the remnant power of the previous dynasty is still there.

For example, in the turbulent times, the ten countries, even if the Central Plains are in a small state, the wars are constant, and the land is small, if you look at historical records, you will find that even so, Goryeo, Nuzhi (Zhen), Uighurs, Tubo and other small countries in the east pay tribute to the Central Plains dynasty from time to time and send tribute to the Central Plains dynasty.

Why is this happening? Because the remaining power of the Han and Tang Dynasties is still there, there are two powerful empires that have been for hundreds of years in the Han and Tang Dynasties, which led to the neighboring countries' understanding of the Central Plains of Guanzhong that no matter how they change, they will always become stronger.

There will be no treatment like that in the future.

Li Xingzhou also enjoyed the remnant power of the previous dynasty. In addition, Jingguo is now rising, and it seems that he has returned to China as their ancestors said, so all parties come to the dynasty and continue.

In the east of Zhaode, the king of Jin Kingdom submitted a statement and wanted to lead the land to join Jing Kingdom.

After discussing with the ministers, everyone agreed to accept the land of the Jin Kingdom and let the last descendants of the Wanyan family move to Kaiyuan to resettle.

In fact, when it comes to the Jin Dynasty, it was basically beaten by the Mongols to only the areas around Shangjing and Liaohe River.

What Li Xingzhou wanted was the graphite mine in Shangjing. Further north was already a Gobi grassland and an area that was difficult to control.

At this time, Temujin's army was expeditioning the west, and Mu Huali, who was left behind, did not dare to face Jingguo at all. Yang Hongzhao quickly took charge of Shangjing and a large area of ​​land in the Liaohe River area to the south.

At this point, Jingguo and Mongolia completely bordered a large area.

The territory of Jingguo reaches Shangjing north (near Balin Zuo Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Yinshan Great Wall, the Yalu River east, the Western Regions west, the Pamir Mountains west, and the central Vietnam south, and it has restored its territory when it was at its peak in the Han Dynasty and is still expanding.

And the control of the four territories is more stable.

Both the people and the ministers understand that they are in a prosperous era, and it took more than ten years for the emperor to create this prosperous era.

With the popularity of Chameng rice, Jingguo's population began to soar.

The Southern Song Dynasty had only half of the country, but its population was close to 100 million, which was due to the popularity of rice from Chameng.

The Jing Kingdom is different from the Southern Song Dynasty. The Jing Kingdom is very similar to the Han Dynasty and the middle Tang Dynasty. There is no enemy in the surrounding area. The national strength and population are expanding. The whole country pursues greater interests and can only continue to expand outward.

Especially Liu Ji's western army, there were already vanguard soldiers crossing the Pamir Mountains and continuing to go westward, attacking the Central Asian boundary, which made not only Temujin expeditions the west at the same time, but also north and south.

On New Year's Eve, Li Xingzhou brought the concubines in the harem headed by poetry and a bunch of children to the Zhuque Tower in the north. Ministers in the court and princesses from the envoys from various countries accompanied him.

The houses ahead were brightly lit, colorful and lively. In such a prosperous scene, envoys from all over the world praised and expressed their feelings. The ministers sang their praises and showed off their literary talent.

Li Xingzhou held Shiyu's hand and asked everyone to improvise poetry.

Everyone wanted to have a chance to show their faces. Most of the poems were praises and chanting words about prosperity.

Li Xingzhou nodded frequently, but did not make much comment.

The poem whispered: "You are not happy."

Li Xingzhou quietly said in her ear: "What kind of person do you think I am? How do you compare to Qin Huang and Han Wu."

Shiyu thought for a while and was embarrassed to be so intimate in front of everyone, so she pulled him back slightly, "Your Majesty has been doing what Emperor Wu of Han has done for more than ten years, and his achievements have even surpassed them."

Li Xingzhou hugged her tightly: "Actually, I can already predict the result. It is nothing more than prosperity, expansion, expansion, and then prosperity and decline. History is always repeating itself. But for the people, they may have a stable environment for hundreds of years, and most of the generations can live and work in peace. Perhaps this is my credit."

The poem is puzzled: "How can you say that? Your achievements will surely last for generations. Now Jingguo is so powerful that everyone in the world is convinced. All countries come to court, civil and military achievements, who is the opponent in the world, dares to compete with him." She said with confidence and a very queen-like style.

Li Xingzhou smiled and didn't argue with her. No one could break out of the limitations of the times when looking at history. He was in different times and looked at history differently.

The famous Qin Emperor and Han Wu were scolded by people in ancient times. Until modern times and modern times, many people understood the significance of Qin Emperor and Han Wu to a civilization.

For example, before the Southern Song Dynasty, many dynasties regarded Cao Wei as orthodox. The wind direction of the Southern Song Dynasty suddenly changed, and they began to criticize Cao Wei, believing that Shu Han was orthodox. The reason is also very simple, because the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty was similar to that of Shu Han, and the north was lost, with only half of the country, and a powerful and unchallenging opponent was entrenched in the north, and they were so overwhelmed. If Cao Wei was orthodox, it seemed that the Jin Kingdom was orthodox at the moment, so people's view of history changed again.

This limitation is naturally dependent on Li Xingzhou. He can see further, but he cannot guarantee how future generations will look at him. He can only do his best to be himself.

So the historical view he admires the most is the historical view of Han Fei and his teacher.

The world was in chaos in the Warring States Period, with hundreds of schools of thought contending, Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism had a great influence, but their theory of ending the war was always about going back to the past at the practical level.

[Recommended, Wild Fruit Reading and Chasing Books is really useful, download here www. You can try it quickly.]

Confucianism advocated returning to the Zhou Dynasty when the ritual and music system, Mohism advocated restoring the state form during the Yao and Shun period, and Taoism simply advocated returning to the distant ancient tribal era, where small countries and few people could live and work in peace.

This is a major problem with the Chinese people, or all nations that respect their ancestors, treat their history. They respect their ancestors and worship their ancestors, and like to count everything on their ancestors, and indulge in the past and cannot extricate themselves.

If there is any problem now, I blame the bad things in history and the wrong things in the past;

Or who was the ancestor who misled me, who was the ancestor who harmed the country and nation, or think about the past, look at history, and what happened in the past.

As early as the Warring States Period, Han Fei criticized this idea. The ancients had passed away and it was useless to think about the past. Things must look at the present and the future ahead.

Therefore, it was not Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism who ended the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, but the Legalists who represented Han Fei, who always advocated looking at the present and the future.

So Li Xingzhou's favorite poem:

The scenery of the north is filled with ice for thousands of miles and snow for thousands of miles.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; the river is rising and falling, and the river suddenly loses surging.

The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the wax figures are galloping, trying to compete with the heavens.

On sunny days, I look at the red dress and it is very charming.

The country is so beautiful that countless heroes are competing for the competition.

The Qin Emperor and Han Emperor were slightly inferior to the literary talent; the Tang Emperor and Song ancestors were slightly inferior to the charming style.

Genghis Khan, a genius of a generation, only knew how to bending a bow and shooting eagles.

All of them have gone, and there are several romantic figures, and I still look at the present day.

All the people who divide the country and see the changes in the country, but the last sentence is what he likes most. They are all gone. Counting the people who are romantic, they still look at the present.

Yes, history has passed away, and remembrance and emotion are the best memorials. Whether it is a person, a country, or a nation, there is always a way out to look at the future.

History has passed, and future generations should look at the present day.

In the third year of Zhaode, Li Xingzhou ordered that the Jingguo South China Sea Fleet should use Murong Yan as the commander and Feng as the guide and deputy commander to march towards the Arabian Sea, whether it would take advantage of the situation to rob, trade with the local area and communicate with each other, Li Xingzhou asked the coach to make a decision based on his own judgment.

Temujin is already on the way, and Li Xingzhou is also preparing to take the opportunity to catch the autumn wind. The most important thing is to broaden the national horizons and let the people and courtiers know how big the world is. Only by understanding how big the world is, can we know what is deficiencies and progress.

In the fourth year of Zhaode, soldiers who set out from the Mongolian grasslands returned from the Palacioles in the Western Regions and brought news about former Central Asia.

Temujin was not as good as Takabe. It was indeed much more difficult to fight, but he still quickly defeated Khwarezm.

After hearing the messenger's description, the ministers at the time understood that Khwarezm was a major country with a population of over 10 million, they also paid attention to the northern Mongolian country, and some even asked for the orders to go north to attack Mongolia.

In the fifth year of Zhaode, Jingguo completely controlled the land transferred by Jiaozhi and Jin Kingdom. Later, Li Xingzhou ordered the expansion of the scale of the imperial examination and selected more talents, and at the same time adopted the study of "Xunzi" as an orthodox doctrine.

Subsequently, the reign of Longxing was changed. Apart from the expeditionary army, there were no more major wars, and many vassal states were relieved.

At this point, a huge and powerful empire once again stood in the east of the world, just like the story of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Li Xingzhou didn't know how much legacy he would leave for his descendants, nor did he know how historical books record it or how future generations evaluated it. He just wanted to try his best to maintain his huge foundation in his lifetime. As for what his descendants would do, it depends on their ability.

After all, counting romantic figures, it’s still up to date.
