Chapter 142: Tianjie tramples all the bones of the prince
[Huang Chao: If I were the Jade Emperor in the future, I would reward the peach blossoms by letting them bloom in the same place]
(The video begins with a man taking the imperial examination, and after failing repeatedly, he writes a poem:
When autumn comes on September th, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed.
The fragrance of incense permeates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
The film begins with uplifting music, and the narrator recites a poem while connecting the scenes: society is dark, officials are corrupt, and people are living in misery. This is the Tang Dynasty.
The young man who failed the exam looked towards Chang'an with eyes full of resentment.
No one would have thought that he would not only bring the Tang Dynasty to its end, but would also be the terminator of the aristocratic families.
Sooner or later, the rules will change, and it is only a matter of time before the table is overturned.)
[Aristocratic families: Why should the efforts and accumulation of several generations be lost to your ten years of hard study?
Huang Chao: Haha, aristocratic family?
Look at how I will “burn the inner treasury to ashes, and trample the bones of the nobles on the streets.”】
＜I didn’t understand why Huang Chao started his rebellion, nor why the people of the Tang Dynasty followed him. Now I just want to say, Huang Chao! You! You deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!＞
"Isn't it worthwhile to exchange the four of you for my five-generation family business?" 2
＜The decline of the gentry was definitely not a one- or two-day thing. The imperial examination system did have a certain effect. The weakening of the gentry in the middle and late stages was a historical trend. Huang Chao really gave the gentry a hard kick when they were on the decline [eat melon]＞
＜I advise all the rebels to remember the nine-word mantra: build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne.＞
＜I have to say that Huang Chao’s poems are really cool [cheers]＞
＜Don't underestimate the power of down-and-out scholars, and don't mess with failed scholars. In ancient China, there was Huang Chao, and in modern Europe, there was Little Mustache, both of whom turned their dynasties upside down [狗头]＞
＜Is this what it means to take off Kong Yiji’s gown? [Eat melon]＞
＜I wish to follow General Chongtian! ＞
＜Okay, okay, so I followed Huang Chao and brought 300,000 people as food＞
＜The Tang Dynasty's imperial examinations should abolish the pre-submission of examination papers, and the examiners should recommend candidates, and use the anonymous examination papers as the basis for the results.＞
＜The An-Shi Rebellion also seemed to have its share of frustrated and downtrodden scholars＞
Huang Chao only killed all the nobles in Tianjie, and it was the Tang army that later fought back to Chang'an that burned the inner treasury to ashes.
＜When reading history, don’t feel pity for this emperor or that emperor. It’s normal for noble families to change and dynasties to fall. The people at the bottom of society have the hardest time in history.＞
＜In ancient times, there was no solution to land annexation.＞

Li Ranran liked the video's comment section and said: This video is quite exciting. Then she saw a related video below, which was Huang Chao's lyrics video.
【Huang Chao|Trampling Mountains and Rivers】3
[“The golden towers of the Six Dynasties entered the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the high walls of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.”
"The history is embellished, and the bloody stench before the steps turns into the fragrance of books."
"Write a few moral articles and eat up all the people's offerings"
......
"The pen is good, and the questions are good."
"Why not change your clothes and crush the Li family's empire, the blue tiles of the two capitals, and the government offices of hundreds of states?"
......
"The Tang Dynasty was absurd, and state affairs were in chaos."
"Look up, it's a jackal in a red robe; look down, it's a deer in a green robe."
"Forcing people to die and leaving their fields barren, his reputation will be recorded in history."
...]
＜Lyrics Explosion＞
＜History books are written by the victors, so they will not be biased towards the people＞
＜Kill them all＞
＜Alas, wildfires cannot be extinguished...＞
＜It was not just the Li family that was crushed, but also the aristocratic families of the past＞
＜Li Tang, sucked all the blood of Hebei just to support the two capitals Chang'an and Luoyang＞
＜Alas, the so-called prosperity is just a fig leaf on the surface. The only real thing is the peasant uprisings that have never ceased for thousands of years.＞
......
People from all walks of life were really surprised by the boldness of this lyric. They had also praised the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty before, and whenever they talked about the Tang Dynasty, they would refer to it as the "Glorious Tang" and the "Giant Tang". When had they ever been so straightforward as this time, tearing off the fig leaf under the prosperity.
No dynasty can guarantee that all the people under its rule can live and work in peace and contentment. Guangmu was actually using Huang Chao to praise the peasant uprising.
The words were full of disparagement of the royal family, the aristocratic families, and the landlords and gentry.

Tang Dynasty, the second year of Zhenguan
When Li Yuan heard [Crush the Li family's empire, the blue tiles of the two capitals, and the government offices of hundreds of states. ], he fainted from anger.
How could the Li Tang dynasty end like this!
Although Li Shimin did not faint, his face was very gloomy. He went from angry at first to pale and finally to a bitter smile.
"Good, good." The officials in the court were all tigers, wolves and leopards, the noble families were all parasites of the country, the people's land was annexed, and they had no land or fields...
Li Shimin had a hunch that even if he spent his entire life creating a prosperous Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible for all the people to have enough food and clothing.
A prosperous age is a prosperous age for the upper class, not for the lower class people.
----
Tang Dynasty, 24th year of Kaiyuan
Li Bai, Du Fu and others who were drinking and writing poetry in a tavern in Chang'an felt a murderous aura when they read Huang Chao's poems carefully.
As for the five surnames and seven families, everyone fell into a strange silence.
There was a young man from a noble family in the tavern who was speaking out loudly, cursing Huang Chao and even cursing Guangmu.
Du Fu lowered his head, his right index finger touching the wine glass, "Brother Taibai, I want to ask for your resignation."
"I want to see the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, and I want to know more about what the Tang Dynasty is like as described by the light curtain."
Li Bai smiled and said, "I have the same idea. I have been staying in Chang'an all day, submitting several memorials and making several suggestions, but none of them have been approved. It would be better for me to go and find out the truth of Guangmu myself."
......
When Li Longji saw the lyrics written on the screen, he was furious. His face turned abnormally red, his eyes were slightly red, and he was breathing heavily. All the eunuchs in the hall knelt on the ground.
Li Tang, Hebei, imperial examination, people, people's rebellion.
"Your Majesty, the reform of the imperial examination system is just around the corner and cannot be delayed any longer." Zhang Jiuling realized that if the Tang Dynasty did not change now, it would face endless disasters.
If we don't show any more favor to Hebei, Hebei will no longer be able to be suppressed.
"I'll do as you say." Li Longji sat down slowly and gently rubbed his forehead with his hands, only then did he feel comfortable.
In the past, the emperor always cared about the lives of the lower-class people. If they had something to eat or wear, they would live in peace and would not rebel.
It's nothing like today.
