Chapter 61 Foolish king, tyrant, capable king

【Anshi Rebellion, the rebels marched straight in and captured Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty.

Before the fall of Chang'an, Li Longji fled in panic. When he arrived at Maweipo, the accompanying soldiers mutinied, killed Yang Guozhong, and forced Li Longji to hang Concubine Yang Guifei. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, finally fled to Chengdu, ending his life in tragedy.

Yi Sheng, who is called a 'legend'.】

Yang Jian said thoughtfully: "Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty started with a dragon and ended with a worm. But I didn't expect that the 'Anshi Rebellion' would have such a big impact on our subsequent dynasty."

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and murmured: "No wonder I can't stand those foreign people. It turns out that the crux is here!"

Zhu Di was slightly excited in his heart: "This once again proves that my choice is correct. It is really not advisable to isolate the country. When it is time to go to the sea, you must go to the sea decisively!!"

"I, the Qing Dynasty, have caused the entire Chinese civilization to stagnate?" Xuan Ye slowly clenched his fists.

Although he is a Manchu, he is trying his best to promote equality and integration between Manchu and Han, because he knows very well that it is impossible to secure such a powerful country by just selecting people from one clan as officials.

In fact, the further back the Qing Dynasty went, the more serious their thinking became.

Some people even say that the Qing Dynasty was the only dynasty that did not have outstanding thinkers and scientists.

This can be clearly seen from the behavior of Kangxi, Qianlong, and Cixi who refused to engage in external ideological and academic exchanges and ignored advanced technology at home and abroad.

[Actually, there were many good ministers and generals during Li Longji’s period.

The literary ones include Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu and others; the military officers include Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, Guo Ziyi and other generals.

It's a pity that he didn't know how to employ people. After listening to too many outspoken advices, he finally fell in love with Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others who were obedient to him and spoke nicely. He also thought he was righteous and gave random military orders, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

The fortunes of the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and it failed to recover!]

[Li Longji, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, ranks eighth among the top ten fatuous emperors in history, and he deserves it!]

After reading Li Longji's inventory, Zhang Shuo, the current prime minister, fell silent and pondered for a long time. Su Qian said that the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed in the hands of Li Longji and a group of treacherous ministers, which made his heart unstoppable.

of blood.

Not to mention Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang. They had already served as prime ministers and were famous all over the world.

Others whose reputations have not yet been fully revealed, such as the "future prime minister" Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu and other literati, as well as Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi and others who are known as the twin walls of the empire, became famous for a while.

Their names were seen by everyone and remembered in their hearts. At the same time, they all said to themselves: "These people are going to be successful!"

As for the traitors Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, who have been named many times, a terrible reckoning may be waiting for them.

Tang Xuanzong had calmed down at this moment.

For him now, no matter how bad things are in history or in the future, at least he is still a wise monarch now.

Li Longji was actually very powerful when he was young.

He was born on the fifth day of August in the first year of Chui Gong, and was the third son of Prime Minister Li Dan. At that time, Li Dan was promoted to the position of puppet emperor by Wu Zetian.

Later, when Li Longji was six years old, Wu Zetian replaced the Zhou Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty, and Li Dan was demoted to the title of Prime Minister and placed under strict supervision.

At that time, I am afraid no one would have thought that Li Longji, a concubine prince, would become the emperor in the future.

On July 21, the first year of Tang Long, which was the eighteenth day after the death of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Li Longji led his people through the Forbidden Garden and entered the palace to launch a coup.

Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and all the core figures of the "Houdang" group were killed immediately. This coup was called the "Tang Long Coup" in history.

It is worth mentioning that Li Longji’s father, Prime Minister Li Dan, had no knowledge of the entire incident from planning to action.

Because Li Longji knew very well that his father was indifferent to fame and wealth, telling him his actions in advance would not only be of no help, but might also tie him up.

After the success of the "Tang Long Coup", Li Dan returned to power and proclaimed himself emperor.

Li Longji made the decision, so even though he was a concubine, he was appointed as the crown prince without any controversy.

Two years later, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Dan, announced that his throne would be crown prince Li Longji.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty entered the Kaiyuan era.

"It's only the tenth year of Kaiyuan. I am still a hard-working, wise and courageous emperor!" Li Longji quickly cheered up, gritted his teeth and swore: "I will never forget today's shame, and I will definitely create a

The Tang Dynasty is stronger and continues to be stronger!!!"

"This kid only started to be stupid in his later years. Now it seems that he can still be saved." Li Shimin secretly thought in his heart: "If necessary, I can also lend him the "Pure Heart Curse" for use. As long as he doesn't mess with it,

At least our Tang Dynasty will not end in such a humiliating way."

After counting Li Longji, it is the turn of the next brother ranked seventh.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at the light curtain, waiting for the next "faint king" to appear!

The next person to be counted will appear soon,

[The seventh among the ten fatuous emperors in history: Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty!]

"I'm actually a fool?! Humph, I think you, Su Qian, are the most pedantic person!" Yang Guang cursed Su Qian, but he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Fortunately, it's only seventh, otherwise I would

I might be beaten to death by my father."

The background music seemed sad, and a poem from Li Shangyin that satirized Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang also appeared on the screen.

[The Purple Spring Palace is locked in haze, and I want to take Wucheng as the imperial home.]

[The jade seal is not destined to return to the sun, but the brocade sail should reach the end of the world.]

[Today there is no bright fire in the rotting grass, but in ancient times there were weeping poplar trees and dusk crows.]

[If you meet Empress Chen underground, why should you ask about the flowers in the backyard again?]

This poem was written by Li Shangyin when he was an official in Yangzhou in his later years. After visiting the palace built by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty in Yangzhou, he expressed his feelings about the extravagant and lustful Emperor of Sui Yang who committed all kinds of unethical behavior, which ultimately led to the destruction of the country and the family.

An irony of behavior.

When Yang Guang saw this poem that satirized him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is Li Shangyin? You must not be someone from the same period as me, otherwise... hum!"

[Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was undoubtedly a foolish emperor.]

[But from a more accurate perspective, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was a tyrant and a coward with both ideas and abilities! 】

Su Qian's seemingly contradictory description successfully aroused people's curiosity.

[When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty "took over" the throne from his father, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, he got a great Sui Dynasty that was politically unified and economically very wealthy. It was on this solid foundation that the Sui Dynasty

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty began to want to establish his own unique achievements.】

["Yang" is the posthumous title given to Yang Guang by the Tang Dynasty. Later generations criticized Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Most of them criticized him for being "hypocritical, plotting to seize the heir, killing his father and brother, being arrogant and extravagant, wasting money and wasting money on the people, misusing people's power, enjoying great achievements, and abusing authority."

.]

[At the same time, in various literature and operas, later generations exaggerated and distorted the image of Emperor Sui Yang, striving to portray him as a Shang and Zhou type who "defied nature and abused the people" and "hungry in lust"

The image of "ghost" makes it highly suitable for the posthumous title of "Yang".]

Yang Guang: "."

Li Shimin: "Ahem."
