All super-empires in history faced the same problem, too large a size, too complex people enough to easily tear the empire that was finally united into two pieces, such as Alexander's Empire, as soon as the Great died, the Diadochi tore it to pieces, the Roman Empire was torn into two pieces, the Mongol Empire was shattered into the four khanates, the Great Yuan Empire, not only the power struggle between the heirs, but also the different living habits of the political forces representing one side is the source of the turmoil.
Li Jie has long been a trend of splitting, Li Jin represents Tianzhu, the Persian native farming people, big merchants, nobles and interests from the Tang Dynasty immigrant families, but Li Rang's supporters are mainly the nomadic nobles of the Arabian Peninsula and the Roman forces that were later appointed by Li Jie as the co-emperor of Constantinople, and the number of immigrants in the western part of the empire is too small, although they are in a high position, they are really not enough to influence the overall situation.
So Li Jie had already foreseen this split, and he also tacitly acquiesced in the split of the empire into two parts after his death, but what Li Jie didn't expect was that Li Rang didn't even attend his funeral.
In fact, this kind of hatred has been coming from for a long time, the pure Confucian thought that Yang Yi educated at the beginning combined with Li Jie's hegemony, and the concept of unprecedented freedom refined by later generations is incompatible, Li Jie abolished Li Rang for the first time, and Li Rang did not have much complaint under the influence of traditional filial piety.
The real rift between the two began in the battle of the Yamuko River, knowing that Li Rang liked Selim Zhuoer, the daughter of his sworn enemy Hussein, Li Jie still ordered her to be killed for the sake of the overall situation! Originally, the seven-point love was also strong to ten points because of this sense of weakness that even the lover could not protect, and after that, Li Rang began to hate Li Jie.
Fifteen years ago, the war situation was the fuse of the breakdown of the relationship between the two, although it was the co-ruling emperor, after all, he was also in charge of the house for a few years, Li Jie slapped him mercilessly, and demoted him out of the political center, during this time Li Rang really completely abandoned the former Confucian style, and led the army like a madman to fight to the death with the Vikings of Scandinavia, and wiped out this family affection with cruelty.
In June of the tenth year of Yansheng, Li Jin swore to inherit the throne in front of Emperor Taizu's Qianling, and became the second generation of Emperor Taizong of the Min and Tang Dynasties, half a month earlier than him, Li Rang was proclaimed emperor in Constantinople under the support of the Roman elders, also known as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but in order to distinguish the regime, later generations called his regime the Western Tang Dynasty, Li Jin's Jingshi regime was called the Min and Tang Dynasties, and the regime of Li Zhong in the Central Plains was called the Eastern Tang Dynasty, plus the Holy Roman Empire of the Franks in the West, the world entered the period of four major empires.
Originally, Wu Meiniang was left by Li Jie to assist Li Jin and consolidate the imperial power, and Wu Zetian in history was also so entrusted by Li Zhi, and finally under the expansion of power, she was pushed step by step to the throne of the only female emperor in the ages.
However, time and space are different, Wu Meiniang is not the same Wu Meiniang anymore, Li Jie's death seems to have taken away all her ** in power, almost to cope with the completion of the task of finally helping Li Jin to ascend to the throne, the disheartened Wu Meiniang abandoned all rights and official positions, and left Beijing.
Beside the Mount of the Prophet near Jerusalem, on the desolate road next door to the flat sand, an old family, a camel, and a woman shrouded in black veils braved the scorching sun, and trudged lonely and difficult.
"Niangniang, even if you are tired of court life, uncle, second master has already released words to pick you up, why are you suffering now?"
The prophet mountain hidden in Qianling was faintly exposed in front of him, and the old family couldn't help but persuade him bitterly again, but Wu Meiniang was like a statue, turning her head sluggishly and glancing, but she slowly got off the camel and walked towards Qianling on foot.
With a long sigh, the old family who was brought out by Wu Meiniang from the Wenshui Wu clan once again led the camel and followed closely behind.
The disheartened Wu Meiniang is planning to find a secluded place at the foot of Qianling Mountain, and live in seclusion, she is Li Jie's concubine, and after his death, she will also be by his side, but when Wu Meiniang trekked to the foot of the mountain with difficulty, she found that there was already a simple chapel built at the foot of Qianling The only secluded place, and there is a water source and a small plot of cultivated land.
Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door of the church with a shocked mood, the nun kneeling in front of the statue of Jesus, a nun wrapped in black clothes also turned her head with the voice, wrapped in a black turban, but the familiar face met Wu Meiniang's eyes, full of consternation, Wu Meiniang blurted out in surprise.
"You're not in Constantinople as your queen mother, what are you doing here?"
"Sister, you are not in Jingshi to be your queen mother, what are you doing here?"
After staring at each other for a moment, a bitter smile also bloomed from Wu Meiniang and Anna's cheeks.
In less than half a day, another unexpected visitor, Yang Xinyi, a virtuous concubine who had been dependent on Li Jie for life and death on the battlefield of Goguryeo, also found this place by chance.
Wu Meiniang gradually got used to this kind of hard life, getting up early every day like an ascetic to pray, and then spending the whole day to work, cultivating a small piece of land by herself to ensure self-sufficiency, and in the evening, there was still endless prayer, and only this time was the happiest time of the day, because it was not God who prayed, but quietly communicated with him not far away.
However, this peaceful life was broken more than a month later, and in the early morning of this day, a large pile of camels carrying heavy goods broke into the small valley where the church was located, carrying the scorching sea breeze of the South Seas, wearing beautiful and splendid clothes, and a noble lady commanded the busy workers to unload the goods continuously.
The camel unceremoniously gnawed the crops that Wu Meiniang had planted with great difficulty, and walked out of the house in shock.
"Qin Qing, what are you doing?"
"I've worked for that guy all my life!" Qin Qing, the noble lady who was directing the carrying of things, muttered with a depressed expression: "I finally got a free time, sister, of course I came out to play!"
"You play yours, you're not welcome here!" Immediately after, Anna rushed out of the church in annoyance and roared, but at that moment, a lazy voice with a creamy tone came slowly from the back of the camel caravan.
"Isn't it! Widows are not welcome? Are you trying to rebel? ”
The hair is already gray, but it is like the free and easy scoundrel cheeks when I first saw him on the streets of Chang'an, whether it is Wu Meiniang, Anna, or Yang Xinyi, all of them are almost stagnant.
"Yes! It's you! ”
…………
Just like the Roman Empire in history, the huge difference in the way of life between the East and the West, as well as the contradictions left over from the beginning of the split, caused a huge gap between the two empires of the Western Tang Dynasty and the Min and Tang Dynasties, which originated from the same source.
The first to do it was the Western Tang Emperor Li Rang, who had always advocated Confucianism, benevolence and righteousness to govern the country, in the sixteenth year of Yansheng, the eldest grandson of the Empress Dowager of the Western Tang Dynasty, only kept filial piety for one year, loyal and brave eight guards, sixty-one Roman legions and 50,000 Arab light cavalry brazenly entered Mesopotamia under Li Rang's order.
Li Jin, who was already unbearable, was also not to be outdone, and the sixteen Wei army he inherited, almost all of the Fujian King Tielin and Guanning Tiecai were mobilized, plus the government soldiers recruited by Tianzhu, which had a large population, Li Jin carried 600,000 troops to kill the two river valleys, and crusaded against his brother for four major crimes such as unfilial piety, rebellion, and emperor, and theft.
The Min and Tang Empires undoubtedly had the upper hand in terms of power, and in the early days of the Tang War, known as the War of Brothers and Sisters, Li Jin's pressure on Li retreated.
But with the elongation of the supply line, the tribes on the steppe in the river are suddenly reversed, under the leadership of the former Persian prince Belus, hundreds of thousands of Central Asian cavalry, infantry composed of a huge team cut off Khorasan, blocked Li Jin's army in the two rivers, and quickly rushed into the North Tianzhu from Punjab, and rushed straight to the Beijing Division, at the same time, Tianzhu has long been dissatisfied with the Fujian and Tang Dynasty conquest and the weakening of the Brahmins, also seized the last opportunity to fight back, hundreds of thousands of rebels for a time layer after layer surrounded the Beijing Division, in a short period of time, The Min and Tang Empires actually presented a state of imminent catastrophe.
But at this time, another important strange woman in the history of the Min and Tang dynasties showed her prominence again, pretending to be a man and won the top prize in the imperial examination of the Min and Tang dynasties, and revealed her identity at the Qionglin banquet of the emperor Li Jin, and asked Li Jin to marry her own Min and Tang Dynasty Empress Shangguan Wan'er only led a hundred guards to fight out of the siege and lobby Tubo and Chang'an.
At this time, the queen mother of Chang'an for more than 30 years has already died of illness, has always been benevolent, the Tang Emperor Li Zhong, who is known for his soldiers, at this time he took out amazing courage, in Chang'an organized reinforcements to go to Tianzhu, thirty-three days later, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo coalition suddenly appeared under the city of Beijing, the rebels who could not reach the defense were torn to pieces, and then returned by sea, Li Jin, who abandoned the entire two river basins, put the main force into the battlefield, Belus was defeated and committed suicide, and the last rebel force was almost wiped out.
In the next five years, Li Jin, who was unwilling to lose the Qianling and the two river valleys, once again killed Tai Xifeng, this time, the Tang people's soldiers fully tasted the blood of the other party, and the two armies fought in Mesopotamia for more than three years, and the blood stained this fertile land.
However, the war ended in the hands of another unexpected figure, who took over the Fujian Chamber of Commerce left behind by Li Jie and most of the Nanyang, Li Gong was angered by the cannibalism of his two elder brothers, and launched the largest strike in history, within a few days, both empires were almost paralyzed, the developed imperial banks ceased business, the shops and factories that produced all kinds of daily necessities were suspended, deflationary prices soared, and the people of the two empires of tens of millions of square kilometers were panicked.
Two months later, for the first time, the two arrogant emperors had to bow their heads to the bourgeoisie, whom they had always considered lowly, and under the mediation of Li Gong, Li Jin and Li Rang finally concluded a contract at Tessiphon, and the entire Arabian Peninsula, including the two river valleys, belonged to the Western Tang Dynasty, but Li Rang had to go to Qianling to apologize for three years.
After the conclusion of the contract, the territory of the two countries for hundreds of years was basically decided, and Li Rang, who had the upper hand, triumphantly rushed to Qianling to fulfill his promise, but he did not know that today's victory had buried a tragic disaster for the empire.
After three years of peace, the elderly Li Rang died in the process of apologizing for his sins in Qianling. The contradictions accumulated by the Slanism broke out in an instant, the expansion of the empire allowed a large number of Arabian Peninsula nobles to enter the court with their faith, and Christianity, whose living space was gradually squeezed, colluded with the Holy Roman Empire when it could no longer bear it, and it was also the largest rebellion in the history of the Western Tang Dynasty.
At the moment of crisis, the queen of the kite who supported the young emperor also put down her body, begging for help from the former enemies Min Tang and the Tang Dynasty, Li Jin, who had been thinking for thirteen days, put aside his prejudices at the last moment, and hundreds of thousands of Tang and Min and Tang Dynasty coalition troops appeared outside the city of Constantinople, continuing the last unfinished thirty-year war, and the brutal battle started for another fifteen years, after two generations of emperors' great rebellion finally ended with the victory of the Western Tang, the Holy Roman Empire fell, and Western Europe entered the dark Middle Ages with many countries.
Sixty years later, taking advantage of the opportunity of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who carried the honor of Tian Khan, to slack off on political affairs, Fan Yang Jiedu made An Lushan, Pinglu Jiedu made Shi Siming brazenly launched a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, and the Anshi rebels almost sang triumphant songs all the way into Luoyang, and only half a year to enter Guanzhong, but just when they thought that victory was in sight, under the city of Chang'an, the suffocating army of 350,000 troops cobbled together by Fujian and Tang and Western Tang appeared in the eyes of the rebels!
Relying on the iron-blooded alliance formed by Li Jie's half of his fingers, the three huge empires supported each other for hundreds of years before they died in the gradually emerging bourgeois revolution.
In the blink of an eye, more than 1,500 years have quietly passed, the once glorious empire has turned to dust, and then the new modern international order has dominated the world.
On the Internet, the struggle between Li Jin and Kim Huaiyuan, the son of Silla, broke out after more than 1,500 years, and a huge headline was listed on the front pages of major news.
Li Jie is Korean!
Huaxia is a descendant of the country of sticks!
By comparing the finger bone DNA left behind by the legendary emperor Li Jie in the Chang'an National Museum and the DNA samples extracted from the tomb of the Silla saint Kim Huaiyuan, the scientists of the Bangzi Kingdom made this world-shaking statement in Tokyo, the first assistant of the Chinese province.
This news simply caused an explosive sensation in the world, and the whole of China, as well as the 63 Kingdoms Group formed after the collapse of the Fujian and Tang Dynasties and the Western Tang Dynasty, the masses of Chinese descendants could not accept this shocking remark at all, and within a few days, all kinds of scolding wars were blooming on the Internet.
Emperor Min is a Chinese!
It's the Emperor of Min xx the ancestor of the stick country!
Shengjun Li Jie xx Jin Huaiyuan!
Through geology and sonar exploration of the terrain, the computer restored the topography of the Qianling Tomb before the explosion of Emperor Taizong of Fujian and Tang Dynasties, and the elite scientific expedition team composed of experts from various countries dug up the tomb seal, and the tomb of Li Jie, the Taizu of Fujian and Tang Dynasties, which had been sealed for thousands of years, reappeared in the world.
However, to the disappointment of the scientific expedition teams of various countries, this tomb is actually a doubtful grave, except for some precious cultural relics, Li Jie's coffin is empty!
In the C-shaped area of the Qianling Tomb of the Prophet Mountain, a thin migrant worker-looking guy was cleaning the soil underground with a brush, and he was still indignantly reciting it.
"No salary! The job title is not regularized! Meritorious experts have! A lot of hard work! ”
"Song Qingshu! The blue and white jade Min pair bottles unearthed yesterday, why are they all missing the bottom? ”
Before the unlucky intern Song Qingshu finished talking, the chief engineer from the British wrestler, Yu Meimei's bearded and fleshy face had suddenly appeared in the tunnel, and his boss was carrying two precious cultural relics and came at him angrily.
"Well, Chief, listen to me!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't listen! This is the third time you have damaged important cultural relics, even if you say that you break the sky today, you have to get rid of Lao Tzu! ”
While scolding, the angry foreman slapped him hard, and with a frightened sound, Song Qingshu was stunned and spun out several times like a spinning top.
Damn, could there be any more unlucky than that?
Finally stood firm, covering his hot face, Song Qingshu thought sadly and angrily, but in the next second, his doubts were verified.
Click!
bowed his head and unearthed it, but was trampled into three pieces by himself, the broken precious cultural relics jade pendant, and then the face of the foreman Tie Qing, Song Qingshu raised his head with grief and indignation.
Damn, could there be any more unlucky than that?
In the next second, his question was verified again, in Grara's voice, I don't know what mechanism was touched, and the ground of the spacious C-shaped pit cracked instantly, dragging the long sound of screaming, and Song Qingshu fell down tragically.
"Ahhh!!hhh
"Stinky boy!"
Seeing that he had also caused a big disaster, the scientific expedition foreman also ran to the edge of the pit in horror, and looked down, and by the dim light, the fragments of the bleak jade seal that had broken to the ground and the corpse that had lost half of his head came into his eyes.
In another unknown time and space, a dog gnawed on the mud, and thousands of ancients with the banner of the word "King Chuang" and thousands of ancients holding the banner of the Ming Dynasty rushed to kill themselves like pies, rubbing his weakened chin, Song Qingshu looked up to the sky and roared for the third time.
"Damn, could there be more unlucky than that?"
In the next second, the swarming army of King Chuang and the murderous Ming officer army collided together like a comet hitting the earth in someone's scream.
And a new story is also reopened with the encounter between the mysterious jade seal and a certain unlucky egg.
