"Historical evaluation?"
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Li Er's first question would be this.
But after a little thought, he suddenly understood.
For example, the reason why Li Shimin and Zhu Di wanted to create a glorious and prosperous era was to prove themselves to the world.
Seeing Li Er's apprehensive expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Looking back at Chinese history, the Zhenguan era can be considered a prosperous era."
"Are you serious?"
Upon hearing this, Li Er stood up excitedly.
Looking at China as a whole, can it all be called a prosperous era?
Doesn’t that prove that my choice back then was not wrong?
"Of course it's true."
Zhou Yu nodded affirmatively, then continued, "There's a poem about great men: the Qin Emperor, the Han Emperor, the Tang Emperor, and the Song Emperor. The Tang Emperor is Your Majesty. Even looking at the entire history of China, there are only a handful of emperors who can compare with Your Majesty."
In fact, according to Zhou Yu's understanding, it should be Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong and Mingzu.
Compared with the Song Dynasty that Zhao Kuangyin obtained from other people's orphans and widows.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty who ended the Mongol rule and established the Ming Dynasty, may be more respected by the world.
certainly.
This is not to say that the Song Dynasty, which ended the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, was bad.
But compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is not even on the same level.
Especially during the Southern Song Dynasty, even the capital Bianjing was lost, but a group of people continued to hide in Hangzhou and enjoy themselves.
Let’s look at the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian. Although he lost the Zhu family’s kingdom, he was not a coward.
Just because he dared to hang himself on Coal Hill, he has received a lot of sympathy and recognition from later generations.
Just as Zhou Yu was speaking up for Zhu, Li Er gradually came back to his senses after his excitement.
He took a big step forward and put his hand on Zhou Yu's shoulder. "Brother, can you tell me in detail?"
"Hiss, Your Majesty, can you let go first?"
Although Li Er became the emperor, his martial arts skills remained.
If he continues to grab me, Zhou Yu, a fragile guy, will probably have to see an orthopedic surgeon.
"I was reckless."
Seeing Zhou Yu's painful expression, Li Er quickly let go.
But then, he laughed expectantly again.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu could only rub his shoulders and say, "According to historical records, during your Majesty's reign, not only was politics clear, the economy revived, and culture flourished, but you also enjoyed an extremely high reputation worldwide."
"In politics, he knew how to employ people wisely, selecting the virtuous and capable, and strictly adhering to the principle of both moral integrity and ability. This resulted in the court being filled with upright, selfless, and forthright talents, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng. The gathering of these talents provided solid intellectual support for the realization of the Zhenguan Reign."
"In addition, Emperor Taizong of Tang also vigorously implemented the imperial examination system, recruiting talented commoners. This gave children from humble backgrounds the opportunity to serve in the imperial court, bringing a new breath of fresh air to the political arena."
"In terms of the economy, Your Majesty values the integrity of officials and personally appointed Li Jing and thirteen other ambassadors to conduct inspections throughout the country to rectify the administration of officials, resulting in clean governance and economic recovery."
"In terms of culture, your majesty's ideas on governing the country and administrative innovations were very advanced, laying an important foundation for the subsequent prosperity and pushing China's traditional agricultural society to its peak."
"The Zhenguan period was not only an important historical stage of the Tang Dynasty, but also a period worthy of praise in Chinese history."
"Through your Majesty's wise leadership and the implementation of a series of policies, we have achieved political clarity, economic recovery, and cultural prosperity, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of future generations."
Zhou Yu talked a lot to Li Er in one breath.
This is not a compliment to Li Er, but something that is actually recorded in history textbooks.
Among the emperors of all dynasties, there were actually not many that Zhou Yu truly admired.
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, Emperor Taizu of Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, and another great man who led the people to be masters of their own destiny.
When it comes to being a son and educating his son, Li Er is indeed very average.
However, in terms of governing the country, he is indeed much better than Li Yuan.
As for the hidden Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, although there is no direct comparison, it is thought that he is not as good as Li Er.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect future generations to have such a high opinion of me."
After listening to Zhou Yu's story, Li Er's face had already turned red with excitement.
It was not until a moment later that he twirled his mustache and laughed out loud with a smug look on his face.
Hearing the laughter, the little kid couldn't help but stick his head out of the car with a curious look on his face, "Aye, are you able to drive this car?"
"Drive away, we must drive away today."
Li Er waved his hand with an extremely heroic look.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that this was not the Tang Dynasty.
Whether to buy this car today depends on Zhou Yu’s attitude.
Thinking of this, he immediately said with a flattering look, "Brother, I have accomplished such great things. It's not too much to enjoy... uh... no, experience the cars of the future, right?"
Zhou Yu: "Your Majesty, it's only the sixth year of Zhenguan. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"Ahem, don't worry, my brother. After buying this car, I will definitely govern the Tang Dynasty well."
Upon hearing this, Li Er immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
Zhou Yu felt that look was familiar no matter how he looked at it.
After a while, he finally understood.
Didn’t I trick my mom in the same way when I wanted to buy toys as a kid?
Mom, don't worry, as long as you buy this for me, I will study hard.
Look, are they exactly the same?
When I think back to my childhood, I would just play with the toys I bought and forget about studying.
