Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule and Tang Xuanzong's kaiyuan prosperity undoubtedly did not add a lot of color to the Tang Dynasty, but I think the influence of Tang Taizong was greater than that of Tang Xuanzong. Everyone knows that everything is difficult before it is easy, even though Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was not the first emperor in the Tang Dynasty. But when you think about it, Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu's reign was not very long, and during his reign, Li Shimin has been helping him to conquer the world and played a very important role in the military. It was not until Li Shimin succeeded to the throne that the Tang Dynasty reached a peak during his reign.
Of course, the problems left over by the Sui Dynasty are inseparable. Although it was said that a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted when overthrowing the rule of the Sui Dynasty, it was precisely because of these that there were a lot fewer people in the Tang Dynasty, which was very conducive to recuperation. In addition, Li Shimin has adopted a recovery policy and made efforts to adjust people's lives to the best condition. He said that water can carry a boat and also overturn it, so he set his eyes on the people. I not only cut taxes for them, but also focus on enriching the people. In the Tang Dynasty, people lived a very rich life.
Politically, he chooses the right people and listens to others' opinions with an open mind, no matter whether it is good for himself or not, as long as it is good for the country, he will listen. This is very conducive to the stability of the court, so he is a very good emperor on the whole, but you should know that as long as he is the emperor, he has a good side, just like Yang Di in the Sui Dynasty. Although he dug the Grand Canal, he wasted a lot of manpower and material resources and made the lives of ordinary people miserable. It must be said that it is precisely because of the Grand Canal that the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty developed, and all these are inextricably linked.
Emperor Taizong not only saw the center of gravity of a country, that is, the people are the people, but also saw that a person would make mistakes no matter how high his position was, so he listened to others' opinions with an open mind. During his reign, he adopted a benevolent policy, which not only made the people live and work in peace and contentment, but also collected taxes very easily, making the national strength prosperous. Needless to say, fighting corruption, I think maybe during Li Shimin's administration, he thought everyone was equal, so he could treat everyone equally.
The Tang Dynasty was indeed the most prosperous, but all this was based on Li Shimin's chastity rule, which was also the basic guarantee left by Emperor Taizong to future generations. From him, the national strength became strong, and the idea of benevolence, righteousness and people-oriented slowly began to spread. If the Tang Dynasty could become a leader, Li Shimin played an important role.
