Chapter 4397 Chapter 4399 [Yellow robe added]
After Li Shimin died, his son Li Zhi succeeded him. Because Li Zhi was weak, he handed over the affairs of the government to his queen Wu Zhao, who took the opportunity to take over the power of the government.
After Li Zhi's death, his son Li Xian succeeded to the throne. However, Wu Zhao had a power struggle with his son Li Xian, so he directly deposed his son Li Xian's throne and made his fourth son Li Dan the emperor. Later, he proclaimed himself emperor, which became the history of China. The only female emperor in the world.
After Wu Zhao succeeded to the throne, Xiang Nan took back the Heshi Bi. This move caused a sensation for a time, and many courtiers used this as an excuse to attack Wu Zhao for being unworthy of inheriting the throne.
Later, when Wu Zhao led his officials to visit Zhongnan Mountain, Xiang Nan did not see her either.
Wu Zhao was dissatisfied with these measures and believed that Xiang Nan was deliberately targeting her. Therefore, he ordered the demolition of the temples dedicated to Xiang Nan, and demoted Xiang Nan to a monster. He also demoted the temples dedicated to him to obscene sacrifices and banned them. People all over the world make offerings.
She herself suppressed Taoism and respected Buddha, vigorously promoted Buddhism in the world, built Buddhist temples and dug Buddhist caves. The Lucena Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang was carved in her own likeness.
Xiang Nan didn't take this seriously. He is neither a real **** nor does he live on the incense of mortals. Sacrifice is of no use to him, so naturally he doesn't care.
…
Fifteen years later, Wu Zhao was critically ill. Courtiers Zhang Jianzhi, Jing Hui and others took the opportunity to launch the Shenlong Coup, supported Li Xian's restoration, seized the title of Emperor Wu Zhao, and was still called the Empress Dowager.
After Li Xian was restored to power, Xiang Nan rode a crane to the palace again and handed the imperial seal back to Li Xian. "This seal has been lost once in your hands. You must not lose it a second time. Otherwise, your Li family's fortune will be ruined." It’s broken.”
Li Xian looked at Xiang Nan, also surprised and speechless.
Although grandfather Li Shimin passed down the word and it is also recorded in the historian's history books, there are indeed gods in the world. But hearing is believing, seeing is believing. It is really amazing to actually see Xiang Nan, and it is just like the rumors from our ancestors.
Looking at Li Xian's stupid look, Xiang Nan finally understood why he, the emperor, failed so much.
Not only did his mother want to take the throne from him, but his wife, daughter, and sister also wanted to take the throne from him. In the end, he was poisoned to death by his wife Queen Wei and his daughter Princess Anle.
Among all the emperors of China, he was considered a very useless one.
Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't wait for his reply, and rode away directly on the crane.
After Xiang Nan left, Li Xiancai suddenly realized it and became very upset.
If he had known that gods were hard to come by, he should have asked Xiang Nan about the method of immortality. At the very least, he should have asked Sheji Jiangshan.
It is a pity that the crane has gone and never returns, and the white clouds have been empty for thousands of years. It is really a great regret.
…
After Li Xian succeeded to the throne, he not only restored Xiang Nan's title of "Tai Chi Xuantian Emperor", but also added two words to reach "Tai Chi Xuantian Supreme Emperor", and resumed sacrifices and enshrinements to Xiang Nan.
After Li Xian's death, Li Longji ascended the throne and continued to confer the title "Tai Chi Xuantian Supreme True Cultivator Emperor" on Xiang Nan. He also built Taoist temples and offered sacrifices to Xiang Nan.
After that, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were almost inferior to each other. That is to say, Tang Wuzong and Tang Xuanzong were more accomplished, and the remaining emperors were inferior to each other.
Therefore, more than a hundred years later, Zhu Wen, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, forced Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty to abdicate, founded the Liang Dynasty himself, and made Bianzhou the capital, known as the Later Liang in history. At the same time, other Jiedu envoys also proclaimed themselves emperors in their own fiefdoms, such as Wu, Wuyue, Qianshu, Northern Han, etc. These dynasties can be as short as a few years or as long as decades. It can be said that they are chaotic and chaotic. Therefore, there was a famous saying at that time, "The emperor in this world has strong soldiers and strong horses."
It is precisely for this reason that after Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, Huangpao strongly advocated using civility to control military affairs and tried his best to suppress the power of generals. Even if this resulted in the weakening of the Song Dynasty's military and the defeat of every battle, they did not dare to relax at all.
It is because at the end of the Tang Dynasty, those Jiedu envoys who had soldiers and horses rose up in rebellion one after another, making people firmly believe that "ruling the country with military generals" was a dead end.
It is worth mentioning that after Zhu Wen forced Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty to abdicate, Xiang Nan took away the Heshi Bi again.
But when Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against Chen Qiao and the yellow robe was added to his body, Xiang Nan rode a crane to the palace and gave the imperial seal to Zhao Kuangyin.
Although at this time, Zhao Kuangyin only had territory in Hou Zhou, and even within the court of Hou Zhou, there were still many Jiedu envoys who were dissatisfied and wanted to rebel and overthrow his rule.
But Xiang Nan still gave him the imperial seal and told him, "Although you only occupy half of the country now, I hope that one day you can unify the world and become the true co-owner of the world."
"Thank you, God." Zhao Kuangyin said gratefully.
He wore a yellow robe and seized the Zhou family's power. He was originally worried that the country would be unfair. But as the gods gave him this imperial seal, he was destined to be the emperor. No one could say a word, so he was naturally extremely grateful.
"I dare not ask the Lord, how long will our Zhao family last?" He asked with concern.
During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin also asked Xiang Nan this question. At that time, Xiang Nan told him that the Tang Dynasty was in the 289th year of the reign of Zuo.
Sure enough, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, later generations calculated that from the time Tang Gaozu Li Yuan ascended the throne to the end of the Tang Dynasty when Zhu Wen forced Emperor Ai to abdicate, Guo Zuo was indeed 289 years, not more than a year, but not a lot every year. .
Therefore, this also greatly increased Xiang Nan's reputation, and everyone believed that he really knew everything for five hundred years before and five hundred years afterward. He was a truly omniscient, omnipotent, and boundless god.
So Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to know how long the Zhao family could stay in power.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Your Zhao family should be in power for three hundred and nineteen years."
"Three hundred and nineteen years?!" Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed when he heard this.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms lasted just over seventy years, but there were so many dynasties, which shows how chaotic the situation was at that time. Many dynasties only lasted for 20 or 30 years, and they basically died after just "having fun".
Zhao Kuangyin originally had this idea, but he wanted to get his own Guo Zuo for so long, thirty years longer than Li Tang!
This undoubtedly gave him a dose of reassurance, "Thank you to the gods, thank you to the gods!"
"Remember that if you want your country to last for a long time, you must practice more benevolent governance, implement more good governance, and remember the past and the future. Aren't the lessons of Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms profound enough?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Yes, definitely." Zhao Kuangyin agreed.
Xiang Nan nodded and then rode away on the crane.
After that, Zhao Kuangyin, as if with divine help, successively destroyed the Huainan Jiedushi and Zhaoyi Jiedushi who opposed him in the DPRK. Then, adhering to the principle of "first easy before difficult, first south before north", he successively destroyed Jingnan and Wuping. , Hou Shu, Southern Han and Southern Tang were separatist regimes in the south, completing the unification of most of the country.
