This Emperor is Only An Actor

"Yue Guan, if I hadn't watched the crew of "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty", I would not have known that there are so many stories between Li Shimin and Wu Zetian."

Yang Xue was lying in Yueguan's arms, enjoying watching the plot of "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty".

If she just read history books, she definitely couldn't stand it.

But if you look at Yueguan, there is no problem.

Moreover, Li Zhi, played by Yue Guan, really overturned her perception of Li Zhi in her mind. At least until now, he is a cool drama protagonist with a complete IQ online.

The more the audience watched, the happier they were.

Yue Guan also looked at it very seriously: "I know a little more than you, but many things were only found out after I wanted to film Li Zhi, and I checked the information later. People who can leave their names in the long river of history, compared to For the vast majority of ordinary people, they were all heroes of that era, and there are many stories that can be discovered. Through Li Zhi, I discovered again that we really do not lack good stories, what we lack is the filming of these good stories people."

No one thought that Li Zhi would be a good story before.

Even if they want to shoot, the capital and practitioners would rather focus on Li Shimin and Wu Zetian. Li Zhi is always the little transparent who is ignored.

But Yueguan discovered Li Zhi's story.

Then Li Zhi's story was filmed.

Then, it's really nice to watch.

"There are also problems. The official position system in the Tang Dynasty is too messy and difficult to remember." Yang Xue complained: "It is not as clear and easy to understand as in "Game of Thrones."

In "Game of Thrones", Prime Minister Zhuge is placed there, and the audience knows that he is under one person and above ten thousand when they see his prime minister's title.

But during the Tang Dynasty, there was no prime minister in name.

Among the six ministries of the three provinces, the boss of the three provinces is the de facto prime minister.

Later, Li Shimin got a third grade under Tongzhongshu's family. This official position is also the actual prime minister.

Let's put it this way, in the early Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was worthless at all.

Changsun Wuji was the prime minister, Chu Suiliang was the prime minister, and even Li Ji, who had always belonged to the group of generals, was also the prime minister later.

But their official positions vary.

The power of the prime minister is divided into multiple shares, which makes it impossible to confront the monarchy at all. This is Li Shimin's cleverness.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, in order to take back the power from Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the first person to intervene was also the actual power of the prime minister.

Li Shimin has already divided up the power of the prime minister, but Li Zhi made a "super double" on the basis of Li Shimin.

This card is much better than Grandpa Lu's.

Li Zhi invented an official position called Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi, which was also the prime minister, and then Li Zhi arranged a group of his trusted cronies in the Eastern Palace period.

Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are still big bosses.

But there are a few newcomers who are theoretically equal to them.

They have nothing to object to yet.

It seemed that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang had the highest status in the court. They were senior, prestigious and of high status, and they were not comparable to young people.

But after a long time, everyone is the prime minister, and I am still the emperor's confidant, why should I lower you?

At the level of the prime minister, one radish and one pit.

If you want to work hard to climb up, you have to kill the bosses above.

Without the help of the emperor, these new prime ministers would definitely not be able to defeat Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

However, they had help from the emperor.

As a result, a group of new prime ministers began to favor pigs, subtly weakening the power of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

This method was a conspiracy, and Li Ji, who was a general, chose to resign and run away in a short time.

Brother, who leads troops to fight, can't beat you guys who play with pens, can't you afford to provoke or hide?

So Li Ji withdrew.

Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji are still strong.

The next unlucky one was Chu Suiliang.

Who made him easier to deal with than Changsun Wuji.

Someone falsely accused Chu Suiliang of lowering the price of the land. Li Zhi asked people to check it briefly, and then demoted Chu Suiliang as the governor of Tongzhou.

Then, his cronies quickly rose to power, replacing Chu Suiliang's position in the court.

At this time, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Changsun Wuji, basically had the final say on Li Zhi alone.

Li Shimin left Li Zhi with two half-hearted ministers: Li Ji resigned himself, Chu Suiliang was demoted, and Changsun Wuji independently supported him, but there were already seven or eight prime ministers.

Except for Changsun Wuji, all the prime ministers belonged to Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi had only been on the throne for one year.

In the absence of any violent conflict, he quietly completed the control of the court by boiling the frog in warm water in a subtle way.

This kind of imperial mind is in stark contrast to the weeping Li Zhi before he ascended the throne.

Seeing this, Yang Xue was very emotional: "Although I still can't remember those official positions, I can still tell that Li Zhi is very powerful. A young man in his early twenties can control a group of elites. This kind of emperor is unprecedented in history." Is it a lot?"

"The most important thing is not only to control these ministers, but also to make the world govern well. To be honest, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty also played very well with his imperial mind, and he also had a strong control over the court. But when it comes to governing the world—Jiajing was hanged up and beaten by Li Zhi.”

Jiajing only focused on the attribute of internal fighting, not the attribute of governing the country. He only knew the art of manipulating people's hearts, but he didn't know how to govern the country and stabilize the people.

In addition to being able to control the court, Li Zhi still does not pull his hips in the attributes of governing the country.

Moreover, Li Zhi's martial arts are even stronger than Wen Zhi.

In the second year after Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Western Turks invaded the border of Tang Dynasty again.

At this time, Li Zhi had basically completed the integration of forces in the court, and his monarchy had been strengthened unprecedentedly. However, Li Shimin, who was the Khan of Heaven, passed away, and he had not yet proved his martial arts.

When the opportunity came, Li Zhi did not let it go, and ordered Liang Jianfang, the general of Zuo Wuhou, and Qibi Heli, the general of You Xiaowei, to lead 30,000 Tang troops and 50,000 Huihe cavalry to send troops to defeat the Western Turks and kill more than 9,000 people. .

When Tian Khan passed away, the Sifang barbarians were ready to move, and the successor Tang Wang used practical actions to defend the honor of Datang, and also made Sifang Xiaoxiao understand one thing:

Your uncle is still your uncle!

This is Li Zhi's achievements within two years of his ascension to the throne.

And Li Zhi didn't just do this.

The matter of Wu Zetian, along with these political struggles, began to advance step by step.

"The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" does not focus on portraying the love story between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. On the contrary, this drama reinterprets the history of Wu Zetian's ascendancy with tactics.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, Wu Zetian had been working as a nun in Ganye Temple. Li Zhi made it very clear that he never mentioned his little mother.

After Li Ji resigned and Chu Suiliang was demoted, and he basically took control of the court, Li Zhi took Wu Zetian back to the palace.

Note that at this time only the palace was taken back.

After Liang Jianfang and Qibi Heli appointed by him defeated the Turks and made military exploits, Li Zhi appointed Wu Zetian as Zhaoyi.

Behind every step in Wu Zetian's superior history, it represents that Li Zhi's monarchy has been further strengthened.

This is not a love story.

This is the growth history of an emperor.
