The destruction of aristocratic families is a historical necessity.
Their existence has seriously created a kind of monopoly, making it difficult for poor people to have a chance to show their talents. []
This is not a good thing for a dynasty. It is for this reason that Yang Jian, the wise and powerful Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, created the imperial examination system in order to curb the growth of powerful families. Just because the power of the family was too strong, the imperial examination system did not change the status quo much.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the situation improved. Especially during the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Shimin had a foresight that was not inferior to that of Yang Jian. After taking the throne, he regarded the wealthy families as a nuisance and wished to get rid of them quickly. He did many things to suppress the powerful families, attaching importance to the imperial examinations, supporting the Guanlong family, etc. However, due to the deep roots of the powerful families, the results were not obvious.
The emergence of Du He is the source of changing everything. His greatest strength is that he has thousands of years of knowledge. He has improved printing and papermaking according to various situations. Through various means of promoting social development, he has shaken the status of wealthy families. Finally, with the occurrence of the regicide case, the wealthy family suffered a fatal blow.
Li Shimin still understands the simple truth of taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
In the next period of time, Li Shimin cut or transferred officials who came from aristocratic families based on their talents, and scattered them so that they could not rely on each other. If they can still be good officials in a difficult environment, it means that they are talented and worthy of reuse. On the contrary, the talent is limited and the opportunity to benefit one party is given to others.
In just a few years, with various reasonable policies, more and more poor scholars in the imperial examinations won the opportunity to show their talents and successfully became local officials. Because the people got many opportunities to learn, many great scholars and scholars emerged among the people who were as good as those from aristocratic families. The prestige of the family has been drastically reduced day by day, and it has gradually faded out of the scholarly world and is no longer blindly pursued and worshiped.
The elbow and armpit problems in the Tang Dynasty were also cured.
As for foreign enemies, the Tang Dynasty had no rivals. After a long period of conquests from all directions, the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Gaochang, Goguryeo, Tubo, Nanzhao and other enemies that could pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty have all become proof. The evidence of the power of the Tang Dynasty disappeared in the torrent of history.
For a long period of time, the Tang Dynasty was committed to internal development. In particular, the Maritime Silk Road replaced the land route and became the new economic lifeline of Datang.
In order to stabilize the Maritime Silk Road, Du He proposed to form a navy and develop a water fleet. The Tang Dynasty was unmatched in foot and cavalry warfare, but it was not strong in water warfare and did not have a maritime fleet that it could be proud of.
Li Shimin, who was far-sighted, agreed to this proposal and recruited seamen and craftsmen. While focusing on the training of the navy, he also devoted himself to the research and development of warships.
Although there were no strong enemies, Datang's economic and military strength did not decline because of this. Instead, it was significantly improved.
In the 20th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty, which had been peaceful for five years, finally encountered a foolish provocateur.
The island country far away in the east was jealous of the booming economy of the Tang Dynasty. Finally, it could not restrain its greed, and secretly disguised itself as pirates and launched a robbery and massacre on the main waterways of the Maritime Silk Road.
At the same time, the Japanese emperor was smart enough to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, saying that if the two countries could develop diplomatic relations, the Japanese country would be willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to encircle and suppress pirates.
Because Du He has been obstructing the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has not established diplomatic relations with the Japanese country. Although the Japanese country sends envoys every year to show its goodwill, to no avail.
The attitude of the Japanese envoy angered the face-saving Li Shimin, who still didn't know that the pirates were caused by the Japanese country. However, the appearance of pirates was undoubtedly a direct challenge to the majesty of the Tang Empire. Naturally, it is up to oneself to regain the majesty of one's own country. What does a small island country want to do?
Li Shimin directly kicked out the Japanese envoys, sent special personnel to investigate the matter, and then used the already formed Datang Navy to patrol the main roads of the Silk Road.
Du He is now an important member of the military and government. It is not easy to send him out for such a trivial matter, but he still secretly sent out Tayue Liuxiang. His intuition told him that this pirate was almost the same as the pirates encountered by the Ming Dynasty in history, and it should be the work of the islanders. Even if not, so what?
As long as there is enough evidence to discredit the truth, the finger can be pointed at the Japanese country.
In a word, after five years of recuperation, Du He is willing to stretch his muscles and bones, and Japan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
There was no need for any false evidence at all. Under the covert and covert investigation of Tayue Liuxiang, it was confirmed that everything was done by the Japanese country. They left a clue to the Tang Dynasty officials responsible for investigating the matter, allowing them to find out the truth more quickly.
Li Shimin learned that everything was actually caused by the Japanese state.The director acted on his own, suddenly became furious, and issued an order to attack the Japanese country.
Du Hemao then recommended himself. He could not participate in a larger war and give up greater achievements, but he had to participate in the crusade against Japan, even if he was a vanguard.
Li Shimin also knew that Du He had always had a great prejudice against the Japanese country, so he agreed to his request and let him take command to conquer the Japanese country.
Before the war, Du He was in high spirits, walking felt light and full of energy, but after arriving in the island country, everything felt boring.
At this time, the island nation had fallen out of step with the times. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, they were just uncivilized barbarians. Facing the elite soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the island nation were completely vulnerable.
They call it a fortified city, and Du He could jump up to it. Their army, in Du He's eyes, was more of a militia than a militia.
The duel between the two armies was as clean and neat as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The Tang army landed from Kyushu and occupied the entire territory of Kyushu in just two days. Du He immediately divided his troops into two groups. One group took Xiaocang to directly attack the "Zhong" country, and the other group took the palace to attack the four countries.
The two armies were victorious. In order to resist the Tang army's offensive, Japan gathered the strength of the whole country and gathered 50,000 strong soldiers in Fujiwara Kyo, the largest capital of Japan.
Du He thought it was a bit interesting at first, but he didn't know that Xue Rengui, who was attacking Shikoku, directly took the waterway, crossed the border town, and surprised Fujiwara Kyo with 10,000 light cavalry. He defeated the Japanese army that had finally gathered and defeated it. The defeat of Fujiwara Kyo forced the Japanese Emperor Shumei to flee eastward in embarrassment.
Du He was so depressed that he ignored a crucial point. The army he led took the land route, while Xue Rengui took the water route, so he could not match it in terms of speed.
Joining forces with Xue Rengui, Du He divided his troops into three groups this time, taking Hokuriku and Yuezhong all the way, and attacking Koshin Musashi all the way. Du He personally led the army across Suruga in the East China Sea to pursue Emperor Shumei.
The Tang Dynasty¡¯s army fought from Kyushu in the far west to Mutsu and Ezo in the northeast. They defeated the island country without any defeat and did not encounter even small obstacles.
Emperor Shuming had been captured by Du He as early as in Kanto.
In just two months, the Tang army completed its hegemony over the Japanese state, established the Fuso Protectorate in the Japanese state, and incorporated the island country into its territory.
Although the island country is small and prone to natural disasters, it is a big country rich in gold, silver and various ores. Under the exploitation of local people, various mining areas were continuously sent to the destruction of the big family, which was a historical necessity.
Their existence has seriously created a kind of monopoly, making it difficult for poor people to have a chance to show their talents.

Emperor Shuming had been captured by Du He as early as in Kanto.
In just two months, the Tang army completed its hegemony over the Japanese state, established the Fuso Protectorate in the Japanese state, and incorporated the island country into its territory.
Although the island country is small and prone to natural disasters, it is a big country rich in gold, silver and various ores. Various mining areas are exploited by local people, and the continuous flow of large amounts of water will inevitably destroy local water and soil.
As the saying goes, those who have gained the right will get many help, while those who have lost the right will have little help. For this reason, all the peoples on the grasslands turned to the Tang Dynasty and became the eyes of the Tang Empire.
Datang has sweet potatoes, two crops of rice, and material savings that have been resting for many years. The consumption of half a million troops was indeed terrifying, but it did not bring down the Tang Empire. On the contrary, the cattle and sheep of the Ottoman army had to move far away because they had eaten up the surrounding pastures.
At this time, the herdsmen who had already returned to the Tang Dynasty accurately informed the Tang army of the whereabouts of the Ottoman army, allowing the Tang army's surprise attack team to succeed one after another and severely defeat the Arab army.
Osman realized his mistake, changed his tactics, and actively sought a battle. On the contrary, the Tang army, under the leadership of Li Shimin, was not impatient and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Du He also offered a plan that decided the outcome at this moment. The West and the East were fundamentally different in military terms. The West focuses on conquest, while the East focuses on both kindness and power. Conquest relies on force. They don't care about people's hearts at all, they only care about power and strength, just like Alexander. He was the most famous conqueror in the West, but once he died, the huge empire fell into pieces. There was no such thing as a son inheriting his father's legacy. The East is different, paying more attention to subjugation and restraint than excessive conquest.
Based on this characteristic of the West, Du He came up with countermeasures and asked people to go there
Os, Egypt, and other places, they persuaded them to start a soldier rebellion and recapture their own territory.
Then they sent out Tayue Liuxiang to rescue the people who were imprisoned by the Ottomans.
o King Si.
??oAs the leader of an empire with a history of four thousand years, King Si has great appeal.
There was a wave of rebellion in Si. See you in Egypt, Byzantium and other countries
The uprising in the Si Empire was successful and the flag of righteousness was raised high. With the help of lobbyists from the Tang Dynasty, they formed an alliance with each other and became one, which dealt a huge blow to the Arab Empire on the rear.
Osman immediately fell into a desperate situation. He could not retreat. Once he retreated, even if there were millions of troops, the Tang army would be eaten. He could only bite the bullet and fight to the end. As long as he could defeat the Tang Dynasty, it would be easy for him to return to the army to deal with the rebellion.
But facing the powerful Tang army, how could he easily win? In the end, the delay became worse and worse.
The Tang army¡¯s treacherous plot restrained the Ottoman army at every turn, and finally Li Shimin seized the flaw and achieved a decisive victory.
When Osman was defeated and fled, he was blocked by the Tang army with all his strength. The entire army of 650,000 was routed and he himself was captured by the Tang army.
The battle that lasted for one and a half years is now over.
Although Osman was defeated, Li Shimin recognized Osman's abilities during the year-long duel, and he was treated like a VIP in the Tang Dynasty, and was even buried in Jiuxing Mountain.
Because of this battle, the Tang army opened the way to the west.
"Remember Alexander the Great? I remember that a long time ago, you once told me that there was such a figure in the West. The territory he conquered was several times greater than that of the Tang Dynasty. Come and take a look again. The territory I conquered is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Who is more vast than Alexander the Great?¡±
Du He was startled. He didn't expect that Li Shimin still remembered this. He said with shame: "Please forgive me, father-in-law. My son-in-law was just talking nonsense. There was indeed an Alexander the Great in the West, and he was indeed the great conqueror of the West. However, the territory he conquered is not comparable to the current Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin didn¡¯t expect that the goal he was pursuing in his life was actually Du He¡¯s nonsense. He couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter: ¡°You, you, how dare you deceive me? Haha, you say, now I am incomparable to no one?¡±
Du He said: "There is no one before, and no one will come after"
Li Shimin was very good in history, but the First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Chengzu of Ming were not inferior to him. But now, facing the current achievements of the Tang Dynasty, he dared to say such a thing.
¡°Whether this is praising Li Shimin or praising him as a time traveler, God knows.
The next day, Li Shimin passed the throne to Li Zhi. He died of illness a month later. Before his death, he designated Li Ji and Du He as his trusted ministers.
Datang has entered a new chapter.
Du He has also moved towards a new life
As a time traveler, he has nothing to ask for.

Even though he has grown up, he still can't change his scholarly aura. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and became a veritable scholar. Talent.
Sayuri is naturally called Du Yunshang. Li Shimin got the name and no one can change it.

One day, she said she wanted to get married, and she brought a handsome and honest young man to see Du He. When Du He was dumbfounded, he learned that the handsome young man's name was Di Renjie. Du He didn't know much about what happened after they got married, but it was said that Du Yunshang, who was married to a wife, was Mrs. Fang among Mrs. Fang. Well, let's have a moment of silence for Di Renjie. Mrs. Fang is already powerful enough without martial arts. Du Yunshang has obtained the true inheritance of Du He and Gongsun Yeyue, then

(Complete book)
Phew, it¡¯s over, I breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the second generation is really ashamed. Especially the later updates made the second generation feel ashamed.
This is Erdai¡¯s first book. He has no experience and doesn¡¯t even have an outline. What do you think of and write? This is the stupidest behavior when writing a book. Without an outline, it is impossible to control the progress and the overall situation, making it difficult to move forward in the later stages.
Especially for newcomers like the second generation who write more than two million words for the first time and lack any experience.
I have thought about learning from my experience, ending it hastily, and starting another book. But I can¡¯t bear it, I really can¡¯t bear it. As this is my first book, I really don¡¯t want to let it go.
Although writing was slow and difficult, the second generation affirmed that he wrote with his best efforts and did not muddle through because he could not continue writing.
It¡¯s over now. Thank you to the book friends who have always supported the second generation
