Zhuo Qun led people to walk in the Daming Palace in a different space by jumping through space.
The Daming Palace with 3.2 square kilometers can be said to be the largest palace Zhuo Qun has seen in so many years.
But something seemed wrong. Zhuo Qun looked at the projection on his hand and was a little confused. Why is the size of this palace only 2.9 square kilometers?
Then he saw the name of the main hall of the Chao District, Daxing Hall.
This made Zhuo Qun's mouth twitch. He was so embarrassed that he actually forgot that at this time, the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty was Daxing Palace. Daming Palace was from the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Daming Palace was originally a summer palace. In the middle age of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he suffered from rheumatism and was afraid of moisture, so he moved to the cool and dry Daming Palace and greatly expanded it to make it the place for daily administration and living.
The official palace city recognized by the Tang Dynasty was Daxing Palace, which was later known as Taiji Palace. This was a bit embarrassing. Common sense really hurts people.
When everyone mentions the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, they take it for granted that it is the Daming Palace. However, they do not know that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had three palaces.
The earliest formal palace, Taiji Palace, Daming Palace during the reign of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and Xingqing Palace during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, these three palaces are all self-contained.
The Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of the Taiji Palace. Zhuo Qun took a deep breath and led everyone towards the Ganlu Hall with an expressionless face. The others looked at each other without saying anything. They also saw the forehead of the Daxing Hall. The words, and the words Daxing Palace, which is the main hall of Daxing Palace, and Daxing Palace, one of the three major palace complexes in Chang'an, also appear on the projection, and everyone can see it very clearly.
"Mr. Zhuo, you seem to be a little disdainful of Li Shimin. Why is that? Isn't Li Shimin a model of a wise king through the ages?"
Deng Zhenhua looked at Zhuo Qun, who looked a little strange, and asked a question.
"A model of an Mingjun through the ages? Whose Mingjun? That's just a false Mingjun. If you read the Notes on the Entrepreneurship of the Tang Dynasty, this is a history book that records the 357 days since Li Yuan launched his army in the late Sui Dynasty until he occupied Chang'an and officially proclaimed himself Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. , if you look at the old and new Tang books, you will find that the things in them are very different, even to the point of being completely inconsistent."
Zhuo Qun shook his head, "Li Yuan, the founding monarch of the country, was actually pushed forward by Li Shimin in everything. It's impossible to even think about it. But in "Records of Emperor Gaozu", Emperor Gaozu always asked Li Shimin about everything. Li Shimin didn't say anything, so Li Yuan just Don't do anything, even if the army is in front of you, Li Shimin won't even take action, can you believe this?"
Zhuo Qun was more interested at this time.
"Also, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was actually not as good as that of Emperor Sui Yang. Even the peak of the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanzong period, was not as good as that of Emperor Sui Yang."
Zhuo Qun then talked about the truth behind the famous Zhenguan Reign.
When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty first came to the throne, the country's population was 4 million households. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, it had reached 8.9 million households. With a household of 6 people, the country's population was no less than 50 million. This number was not reached until Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, 19.44 million hectares of land were cultivated, and in the middle period of the great cause, 55.85 million hectares of land were cultivated. However, Tang Tianbao only cultivated 14.3 million hectares of farmland in fourteen years. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, there were 8.9 million households, while Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had only 3.8 million households until his death. The gap in national power can be imagined.
During the Sui Dynasty, the government built many granaries in various places, among which the famous ones are Xingluo Granary, Huiluo Granary, Changping Granary, Liyang Granary, Guangtong Granary, etc. The amount of grain stored is more than one million dan. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Ma Zhou, the supervisory censor, told Tang Taizong Li Shimin: "The Sui family was in Luokou, and Li Mi was responsible for it; the treasury in Xijing was also used by the country and has not been exhausted to this day." The Sui Dynasty had been destroyed for 20 years. , Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had been dead for 33 years, but the food and cloth had not been used up at that time.
Not only was it not used up at this time, but also in 1969 in Luoyang, the ruins of the Sui Dynasty granary Hanjiacang were discovered. The site covers an area of more than 450,000 square meters, and 259 grain cellars were discovered inside. One of the grain cellars still contains 500,000 kilograms of carbonized millet. This shows the wealth and power of the Sui Dynasty.
Calculated based on the fact that a granary contains 500,000 kilograms of millet, 50*259=12450, which is more than 100 million kilograms of grain, and there were eight such granaries in the Sui Dynasty.
When Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly one day, Li Zhi had a sudden impulse and asked the Minister of Household Affairs, Gao Jingxing: How much did the country's population increase last year?
Gao Jishi replied: Last year's population growth was the same as in previous years, still 150,000 households.

Li Zhi asked again: What is the population of our country now?
Gao Xingyi said: 3.8 million households.
Li Zhi counted: Well, there are now 3.8 million households. The Zhenguan rule lasted 23 years. The population increased by 150,000 households every year. The population growth in 23 years was 3.6 million households... That's not right. Could it be that when the Zhenguan rule just began, the total population was only 200,000 households?
Gao Xingyi said: Anyway, it’s not much different.
Li Zhi came to his senses: During the Kaihuang reign of the Sui Dynasty, how many people were there?
Gao Xingxing answered: The total number of registered households at that time was 8.7 million.
Li Zhi was shocked: Are you saying that when the Sui and Tang Dynasties changed dynasties, almost all the population of the country was killed?
Li Zhi thought for a long time and then asked: How much grain was produced in the Sui Dynasty?
Gao Xingyi said: The food at that time was enough to feed 8.7 million households for 50 years.
In other words, the rule of Zhenguan was to take less than one-tenth of the population and eat enough food for 50 years. In this case, even Sima Zhong could become a model of a wise king through the ages.
Don't think this is fake, you must know that this conversation was recorded openly in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Therefore, Li Shimin's "Mingjun" must be in quotation marks.
After hearing these things, everyone had questions, how did Li Shimin's Mingjun come about, and why do they think that anyone can succeed in the Zhenguan rule?
Zhuo Qun nodded after hearing this. Anyone can succeed in Zhenguan's rule.
Moreover, the Weishui Alliance will not appear after going up. You must know that most of the troops guarding the border are the prince's people, such as Luo Yi. Not only him, but also Jiangxia County Princes Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, as well as Xue Wanche and Li Shimin. He dared not use any of them, but when he and Li Jing were discussing the art of war, he once said: "The only generals today are Li Ji, Daozong, and Xue Wanche. If Ji and Daozong use their troops, they will neither win nor lose; Wanche will not win if they use their troops. Victory requires a great defeat.”
In other words, he also admitted that Li Daozong and Xue Wanche were famous generals in the world. Unfortunately, these people were abandoned by him after the Xuanwumen incident. He really didn't dare to use them, and he kept killing the remaining forces of the prince. , so that the commander-in-chief from various places separated from him, and then the Weishui Alliance appeared.
It can be said that Li Shimin was the starting point of the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty, and his seizure of the throne set an example for future generations.
