Angel Yan: I Will Be Crowned King!

The Legend of Twin Dragons of the Great Tang.

A colossal creature soars through the sky, its wingspan covering thousands of meters in a single span.

Its head resembles an eagle, its body is slender like a peacock, and its pure white feathers are like beautiful ice crystals carved from them. It is the Ice Luan Bird, a special magical beast from the world of Valoran.

Wanwan sat on the bird's back, enveloped in an icy blue protective shield that easily protected her from the frigid air and howling winds of the high altitude.

Chat Group.

Wanwan: "Hehe, we're almost at the Heavenly Lotus Sect Sect's territory."

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Huh, why did Sister Wanwan go to find Fatty An first?"

Angel Yan: "Any power that wants to develop cannot do without money."

Looking at the historical evolution of ancient Eastern countries over thousands of years, it is essentially a history of the rise and fall of finance. Every dynastic change was largely due to internal financial problems within the court, leading to irreparable economic deterioration.

Li Xunhuan: "Hmm, Sister Yan's point of view is quite interesting. I wonder if Sister Yan could explain it in detail?"

Angel Yan: "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll give you a brief explanation of the fall of the Sui Dynasty. Many people believe that the main reasons for the Sui Dynasty's downfall were the construction and excavation of the Grand Canal, the stimulation of powerful clans by the imperial examination system, and the conquest of Goguryeo."

Wanwan: "Isn't that right?"

The Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji: "I feel like that's true too. If it weren't for the construction of the Grand Canal, the conquest of Goguryeo, and the imperial examination system stimulating powerful clans, the Sui Dynasty probably wouldn't have fallen, right?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Although I hate reading the most, I have still heard the story of Emperor Yang of Sui. I think it's because of these three reasons that Yang Guang didn't end up so tragically."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "No, those three reasons are correct, but they are not comprehensive. To be precise, these three points caused the downfall of the Sui Dynasty Sui Dynasty, but they were not the main cause."

Angel Yan: "It seems the leader has also studied Earth's history."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "As the ancients said, 'Use a bronze mirror to straighten your clothes; use history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of dynasties; use people as a mirror to understand your gains and losses.'"

Moon Worshipper thought this statement made a lot of sense, so in order to make fewer mistakes, he also read a lot of history books.

The Sui Dynasty, though hailed as a golden age, was unique in that it only lasted two generations, which piqued my curiosity and led me to conduct extensive research on it.

In my opinion, the biggest reason for Yang Guang's downfall was injustice.

Wanwan: "Unfair!? What does that mean?"

Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji: "I don't understand."

Li Xunhuan: "That's unfair. I do have some ideas, but let's hear the leader's opinion first."

Ming Yanwei: "Ugh, why are you guys suddenly discussing this? Never mind, I get a headache just looking at books. You guys continue, I'm going to get busy."

Omniscient Li: "Isn't this great? It's much better than driving every day."

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Waaah, Big Brother Group Leader, would you like to see my photo album with my master?"

Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly, and his heart began to race.

Wait a minute, you're tempting me, you must be tempting me!

No, this group admin is not that kind of person.

I've already said no driving, and I, the group admin, will absolutely not break my vow.

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "→_→, a private photo album of my life."

Li Hao gasped.

That's going too far! That's really going too far!

No, I, Li Hao, am not that kind of person!

Omniscient Li: "You brat, can't you see we're discussing serious matters? Go play somewhere else."

Yan Lingji stuck out her tongue and gave a smug hum.

The Big Brother Group Leader is definitely just pretending to be serious, there's no mistake.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Hello, Group Owner."

Omniscient Li: "Please continue, Master. I'm quite interested in this as well."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "The so-called injustice is mainly reflected in Yang Guang's policies."

Yang Guang's power base was in Jiangnan, and he even had the idea of seizing control of Jiangnan when he was vying for the position of crown prince.

Therefore, when the Grand Canal was being excavated, Yang Guang, in order to suppress the powerful clans in the north and support the aristocratic merchants in the Jiangnan, shifted all the burden of excavating the Grand Canal onto the people Jiangbei of the Yangtze River.

He attempted to bolster the interests of the South by plundering and sacrificing the North.

However, he overlooked one point, or perhaps intentionally ignored it.

While it's true that most powerful families and clans are based in Jiangbei, they are even more influential in the imperial court.

At that time, the power of the southern gentry in the imperial court was very weak, at least compared to the northern aristocratic families, it was negligible.

Therefore, while Yang Guang intended to suppress the powerful clans in the north, he also had to rely on their power, allowing them to penetrate every corner of the court and the entire country.

This sowed the seeds for the downfall of the Sui Dynasty.

The construction of the Grand Canal alone would not have been enough to bring down the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Guang's subsequent actions completely destroyed Sui Dynasty.

The three campaigns against Goguryeo turned the north into scorched earth, displaced millions of people, deprived them of their means of survival, and completely collapsed the economic environment. The discontent and resentment of the refugees and ordinary people towards the court had reached a point where it was bound to erupt.

In order to suppress the powerful clans in the north, Yang Guang resorted to many extreme measures, such as the "white money" and the "reporting of wealth" edict, which caused the court to become demoralized.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to imagine the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Wanwan: "When you put it that way, it does make some sense."

If Yang Guang had slowed down the progress of various large-scale projects, thus avoiding the destruction of the economic environment in the north and the disruption of the basic lives of ordinary people, he might have truly become Ancient One emperor throughout history.

Li Xunhuan: "Unfortunately, history has no 'what ifs,' and failure is failure. Yang Guang's ideas were good, but unfortunately, the outcome will not be changed."

Xunhuan benefited greatly from listening to the words of the cult leader and Sister Yan.

The root cause of the chaos lies in the severe damage to the economic environment, which has deprived people of their very means of survival.

Angel Yan: "That's right, that's pretty much the idea."

Omniscient Li: "Interesting. Isn't this equivalent to a major economic depression?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, "This is far more serious than the Great Depression. The Great Depression was merely a recession; at least the foundation remained, and there was a possibility of recovery. But Yang Guang's actions have dealt a devastating blow to the economic environment, making any possibility of recovery in the short term impossible."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Um, so, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Li Xunhuan: "By studying history, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties. It's useless to us, but it's extremely useful to Wanwan."

Wanwan: ""

Wanwan: "They don't want to be emperor, so what use is this thing to them?"

Omniscient Li: "If you don't want to be emperor, don't you want to lead the Holy Gate to revival?"

If you aspire to be a trendsetter and lead the development and progress of the Sui-Tang Era, these are the issues you will inevitably face in the future.

Therefore, Xiao Wanwan should not only become a literary giant, but also learn about economic development and people's livelihood.

Wanwan: "O((⊙⊙))o I'm totally confused, no way!?"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Oh dear, I'm a little dizzy. I'm going to be a queen, do I really have to learn so many complicated things?"

"Waaaaah, Big Brother Group Leader, isn't being a queen just about doing whatever you want? So pitiful. jpg"

Omniscient Li: "Silly girl, being a queen is not just about honor and power, but also about responsibility."

When you become queen, you are not only carrying the future of yourself, but the future of the entire nation.

Therefore, there is still a lot you need to learn to become a qualified queen.

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "(O_o)??, then... can I just quit being queen?"

Omniscient Li: "→_→, isn't the Queen good enough?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "-_-||, I don't know why, but seeing the group owner's smile, I always feel that it exudes a lot of evil energy."

Angel Yan: "→_→, of course the Queen would be great! I'm about to be crowned Queen!"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised.

Is Yan about to be crowned?

Omniscient Li: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Angel Yan: "╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph, do you expect me to tell you everything? I told you to come over a long time ago, why did you keep putting it off?"

Li Hao felt ashamed.

I've been busy, haven't I?

However, Yan is about to be crowned queen.

Tsk tsk, seems pretty good?

Angel Yan: "→_→, do you want to see me in queen attire?"

Li Hao snorted dismissively.

I've watched it countless times.

Omniscient Li: "I'll think about it and send it over when I can take a look. Please don't send me any private photos; I'm a respectable person."

Angel Yan: "(ˉ▽￣~) Tch~~, you think you're a decent person? It's like you'd dare do anything if I sent you private photos."

However, the Queen's photo.

"Smug. jpg, I won't give it to you."

Li Hao curled his lip.

Bah! You really think this group admin wouldn't dare?

╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, if Angel Yan were wearing queen's attire, and in the main hall of the Angel Race's palace, that would be quite something.

hiss.

Calm down, stay calm.

We can't let the censors find out about this group owner; this group owner is a respectable person.

Omniscient Li: "This group owner is a respectable person with refined tastes. I disdain speaking to a vulgar woman like you."

Angel Yan: "→_→, you wouldn't dare."

Omniscient Li: "(ˉ▽￣~) Tch~~, this group admin is a sunny and cheerful handsome young man, I won't bother with a female Si Ji like you."

Angel Yan: "→_→, you wouldn't dare."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly.

Yan, don't go too far.

Believe it or not, this group admin really has tally marks written all over your body!?
