Chapter 1008: The Rule of Kaihuang
It is unbearable for anyone to lose the kingdom that he had worked so hard to build in the second generation.
I think no matter how short it is, it can at least be a hundred years, right?
As a result, hey, the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. In the barrage, Qin Shi Huang ordered people to beat Hu Hai up, otherwise he would be really angry.
After learning that Hu Hai had been beaten again, the others just applauded. They loved watching the First Emperor vent his anger by beating children every now and then.
Cao Cao regretted killing Sima Yi more than once. He should have learned from the First Emperor and had a punching bag. But fortunately, it is not impossible to vent his anger by attacking other small countries.
Empress Dugu was still feeling very uncomfortable while holding little Shimin in her arms. She couldn't help but ask herself again, why did she raise such a bastard son?
"Ah, ah," Little Shimin looked at Empress Dugu with his big black grape eyes, shouting, attracting Empress Dugu's attention. "Little Shimin, the future of the Sui Dynasty depends on you," Empress Dugu teased Little Shimin, without any trace of sadness on her face.
With Xiao Shimin, their Great Sui Dynasty would definitely not perish in the second generation.

"Little Immortal, I am not that powerful," Emperor Wen of Sui said modestly. He had been dormant for many times, encountered many dangers, and was almost on the verge of death several times, so he was really not that powerful.
It hasn't been easy along the way, but luckily we got through it.
"Emperor Wen of Sui, please don't be so modest," Li Wu waved her hand. Our ancestors liked to be modest. She knew that the founding emperors who were able to unify the country were not ordinary people.
It is not easy to be the founding emperor.
Emperor Wen of Sui smiled and said nothing more.
"Then I will continue to talk about your deeds, Emperor Wen of Sui. I just said that you, Emperor Wen of Sui, finally unified China once again.
Subsequently, Emperor Wen of Sui carried out a series of reforms in political, economic and other systems.
Revise criminal laws and systems, implement the three-province and six-department system at the central level, and consolidate central power.
During your reign, Emperor Wen of Sui, the Sui Dynasty enjoyed a stable political regime, a stable society, rapid economic and cultural development, a strong military, and a prosperous country, which is known in history as the 'Kaihuang Reign'.
Your political talent, Emperor Wen of Sui, can be seen from the population growth in the middle period of the Sui Dynasty.
In the first year of Kaihuang, there were 462 million households in the country. By the fifth year of Emperor Yangdi's Daye reign, the number had reached 8 households and 907 people.
Among them, in the ninth year of Kaihuang, the number of people who went south to pacify Chen increased by 50. At that time, the national population was more than million, with an average annual increase of more than households.
So judging by the population growth rate, the development is really rapid.”
If there is no war and the people can survive, they will naturally have children. If they are born in troubled times, how will the people be willing to have children? Even if they do, how can they raise them?
They live in fear every day, fearing that war will break out one day, so they dare not have children.
Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizu of Ming both looked at Emperor Wen of Sui in surprise. How could the population grow so fast?
This made them a little envious.
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain were also shocked. They didn't expect that Emperor Wen of Sui was actually so good. The population increased so much, directly from more than 4 million households to more than 20 million households. How could they not be envious?
They also wanted such a large population, but they were short of people, food and everything else. The earlier the dynasty, the smaller the population.
The ancestors of previous dynasties almost popped their eyes out. Is this the benefit of unification?
After the unification, the population exploded. Some separatist dynasties now only want to unify as soon as possible. After unification, they will no longer have to worry about war every day.
So many people died in the war. Where did they get so many people to fight?
"Well, Emperor Wen of Sui, may I ask, how did you increase the population?" asked Emperor Wu of Han. He needed it very much. He felt that his Han people were still too few. There was no other way. He had to go to war, and war meant death, many deaths.
But if you ask him to give up fighting, it is impossible. He can't do it, and no dynasty can do it. Even the most peaceful dynasty will fight wars.
It's not that they want to fight, but those foreign tribes are bullying too much. He wants to defeat them and scare them so that they will never dare to invade their Han Dynasty again and bully the people on their borders.
Emperor Wen of Sui just smiled at him and said, "My way of governing the country may not be suitable for you, Emperor Wu of Han." Every emperor has a different way of governing the country, and different dynasties have different ways of governing the country. You can't use the same one, right?
They have all been constantly revised based on the lessons learned from their predecessors, and they don’t know whether they are right or wrong.
Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said that it was indeed true, but we could take the essence and discard the dross.
He doesn't have to learn everything. The emperors also discuss the way to govern the country on the barrage, but it is encrypted and others can't see it. If others see it, what will happen?
Seeing that Emperor Wen of Sui did not want to answer this question, Li Wu continued, "Emperor Wen of Sui has been on the throne for 24 years, with great achievements and outstanding political performance, but you gradually became confused in your later years." Li Wu glanced at Emperor Wen of Sui. This was the case for many emperors. They might have become confused in their later years.
When Emperor Wen of Sui heard this, his face turned unhappy. Emperor Wu of Han looked at Emperor Wen of Sui and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not the only one who "suffered from illness" in his later years. Many emperors were like this. He was relieved.
When Emperor Wen of Sui saw the look on Emperor Wu of Han's face, he was so angry that he almost laughed.
The Ming Taizu also thought about himself. He admitted that he had a bad temper and if things didn't go his way, he would kill one or two people without a doubt.
He was ruthless even to his old friends who had fought with him to conquer the world. He realized this in his later years, but he did not regret it.
After all, he wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Yunwen at that time, so naturally he had to kill those ministers. Otherwise, how could he suppress them?
But who could have thought that, alas, fate played such a trick on him. Fortunately, the immortal gave him the elixir, so his daughter would not have died so early.
The three people had different expressions. The Emperor Taizu of Ming still had a smile on his face. Li Wu looked at one and then the other and continued, "You are not only cruel and suspicious, but also killed meritorious officials indiscriminately. You also deposed the crown prince Yang Yong and appointed the Prince of Jin Yang Guang as the crown prince, sowing the seeds of the country's destruction.
You also issued an edict to build the Renshou Palace, leveling mountains and filling valleys, on a very large scale. Due to the strict supervision, tens of thousands of people died.
I won't say much about this, many emperors had this problem in their later years," Li Wu sighed. But it's true, who doesn't want to live in an exquisite palace?
As the emperor, the ruler of the world, things are naturally even more different.
Emperor Wen of Sui touched his nose and decided to eat. He didn't want to talk much now because he couldn't understand why his future self would do so many foolish and unjust things.
The ministers during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui were trembling in fear. No, little immortal, please tell me clearly who the ministers were that Your Majesty had killed. They wanted to know whether they were among them. They just wanted to have peace of mind.
