Emperor Taizong (65438+5981October 28th +5991October 23rd-July 65438+00,649), a native of Longxi, was the second son of Li Yuan and Empress Dou, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, an outstanding politician, strategist and military officer.
Li Shimin joined the army as a teenager and went to Yanmenguan to rescue Yang Di. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the official residence of Shang Shuling, was the general of the right army, and was later named Qin Gong and King of Qin. He led his troops to pacify Xue, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande and Wang, and made great contributions to the establishment and unification of the Tang Dynasty.
On July 2nd, 626 (the fourth day of June 9th, Wude), Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killing his brother, Prince Li, and his fourth brother, King Li Yuanji of Qi, and his son, and was made a prince. Soon Tang Gaozu tang gaozu abdicated, Li Shimin acceded to the throne, and changed her virginity.
When Li Shimin became emperor, he actively listened to the opinions of ministers, ruled the country with courtesy at home, was modest and courteous, practiced economy, advised farmers and mulberry, made the people recuperate, enriched the country and strengthened the people, and created the famous chastity rule in China history. Open up the territory to the outside world, attack and destroy the East Turkistan and Xueyantuo, conquer Gaochang, Qiuci and Tuguhun, hit Goguryeo hard, and set up four towns in Anxi, where all ethnic groups lived in harmony and were respected as Tiankhan by the people of all ethnic groups, laying an important foundation for the prosperous times of the Tang Dynasty 100 years.
On July 10 (May 23rd, Zhenguan) in 649 AD, Li Shimin died of illness in Hanfeng Temple at the age of 52, and he reigned for 23 years. His temple name is Taizong and he was buried in Zhaoling. Li Shimin loved literature and calligraphy, while Mo Bao was handed down from generation to generation.
Emperor Aisingiorro Michelle Ye (May 4th, 65438+0654 ~ February 20th, 65438 +0722), namely Emperor Kangxi, the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the second emperor after the capital. Kangxi years: health, peace; Xi, prosperity-in other words, all people are happy and the world is prosperous. He ascended the throne at the age of 8 and came to power at the age of 14. He reigned for 6 1 year and was the longest reigning emperor in China history. He was the defender of China's unified multi-ethnic country, laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and created the prosperous times of Kanggan. Posthumous title He Tianhong Yunwen Wu Ruizhe Gong Jian was generous, filial, honest and meritorious. When Ao Bai was in power, the young Emperor Kangxi often suffered indignities. So he decided to read sage books, which laid the foundation for him to conquer Ao Bai and complete the famous Kangxi dictionary.
The young Kangxi was unfortunate. Michelle Ye's biological mother, Tong Jiashi, is just an ordinary princess who is not loved in the palace. When Michelle Ye was born, his father the emperor shunzhi was madly in love with Dong Eshi, the daughter of Dong Xiaowan, a famous prostitute in the late Ming Dynasty. How can he afford this little son who came uninvited? Shortly after his birth, Michelle Ye was attacked by smallpox. At that time, smallpox was regarded as a scourge, and his life was at stake. Although he survived with tenacious vitality, he left a face that was not very good-looking. Unfortunately, he lost his father at the age of eight and his loving mother at the age of ten. Two years later, his parents died, inseparable, leaving him with deep psychological trauma. Kangxi later recalled that when his mother was ill, he waited by the bed day and night and couldn't drop a drop of water. When his mother died, he cried day and night and didn't think about eating or drinking. Until his later years, Kangxi recalled this scene and said sadly that he didn't get a day's pleasure at his parents' knees. "Regret for 60 years."
Michelle Ye is lucky again. He has a generous grandmother, sourdrang dowager, who is very concerned about his growth. This grandmother, full of political mind and good character, devoted a lot of efforts to the cultivation of Michelle Ye, laying a solid foundation for him to become a wise king. She often tells her little grandson stories about her grandfather's persistent and hard struggle in those years, encouraging him to inherit the heroic spirit of his ancestors and become an ambitious and accomplished figure in the future. She has been strictly training her grandson according to the emperor's standards, educating him to be "generous, kind, gentle, respectful and frugal", and even to "sit upright" in every move.
Born in sorrow, died in happiness. The misfortune of childhood encouraged Michelle Ye to study harder. From the age of five, he went out early and returned late, regardless of the cold and heat. After the death of his parents, he worked harder, systematically studied the way of governing the country and keeping the country safe, carefully studied Confucian classics, and practiced riding and shooting skills with the help of Shu Mogen, a bodyguard with superb martial arts. He shot and hunted, hitting nine shots with ten arrows. He often consulted his left and right sides humbly, and even shamelessly consulted the eunuchs around him. Heavy academic work almost crushed his body, so tired that he hemoptysis and insisted on putting it down. Later, it had to develop to the point where acupuncture treatment was needed, so that many years later, Emperor Kangxi smelled the moxa smell of moxibustion sticks and was still worried.
Kangxi was trained by Manchu riding and shooting culture all his life, influenced by Mongolian grassland culture and influenced by Han Confucian culture. He can be described as the "Almighty Emperor". It is this kind of strict and earnest education that formed Kangxi's profound and extensive knowledge literacy and cultivated Kangxi's decisive and tenacious personality strength. Emperor Kangxi basically grew up in a peaceful environment. Unlike his ancestors who came from Baishan Heishui, he received a formal and systematic education in China. It was not until Kangxi's generation that the Aisin Jiro family really understood the relationship between the Confucian scholars' desire for justice and the people's feelings and the world.
1669, Kangxi officially took charge. This young son of heaven, ready to go, once he sits on the supreme throne, he shows unstoppable ambition to govern the country. At the age of sixteen, he personally planned to eradicate the powerful and overbearing Ao Bai. Throughout his life, he put down the San Francisco rebellion, fought against Russia in the northeast and Russia in the northwest, and worked as a Chinese and foreign company in Xiu De. Internally, we will rule the river and prosper the country, enrich the country and enrich the people, eliminate bureaucracy and create a "healthy and prosperous" prosperity. Kangxi's life, not only can be vertical and horizontal battlefield, strategizing, but also can help the people and the country, reaching the Confucian standard of "sage inside and king outside". Such an emperor, if not in an autocratic dynasty that ended ignorance, may be regarded as "an emperor through the ages."
Kangxi practiced literary inquisition on culture. In order to safeguard the ruling interests of ethnic minorities and crack down on the criticism of the Han people, he created many property raids. His successors, Yongzheng and Qianlong, even intensified their persecution of people of insight, and even tampered with the masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions, making it a romance book in line with their ruling order. Kangxi didn't want to promote the science and technology introduced from the west, and regarded it as a scourge, because he knew that once these magical powers of "strange skills" were mastered by the Han people, they would definitely endanger the rule of the Qing Dynasty. This self-deception made his successor, Gan Long, more ambitious and eventually declined. The overall backwardness of China in modern times is directly related to the foolish behavior of the founders of the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi devoted all his life to unifying the country, defending sovereignty and developing production, and made great contributions to the social progress of China. He is worthy of being a wise king in the history of China.
