The "Anshi Rebellion" was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline
It lasted seven years
The influence on the Tang Dynasty was very large
And An Lushan was the key figure in this incident
The rise of An Lushan had a great deal to do with Tang Xuanzong's trust
It can be said that tang Xuanzong himself cultivated a gravedigger
How did An Lushan come to this road of no return?

An LuShan originated
An LuShan's real name is Rolling Mountain
His mother was a local wizard
It is said that she became pregnant by praying to the local god of battle, "Rolling Mountain"
After birth, he gave An Lushan this name
His father was a Hu native with the surname Kang
After An Lushan's father died
The mother remarried An Yanyan again
Therefore, the surname was changed to An, and the name Lushan was changed
Because An Lushan could speak the Liu Fan language
His first official position was Tang Hushi Yalang
A minor official of a very low rank
Later, Zhang Shoujue of Youzhou Jiedu knew about his Xiao Yong
Bring An Lushan to his own command
Promoted him to be a catcher
It is to do the work of harassing ethnic minorities
An Lushan went out on a mission every time
A few Khitans would be captured and brought back
And because An Lushan is good at speculating on human feelings
Deeply loved by Zhang Shoujue, he adopted him as an adopted son
We all know that An Lushan is fatter
In order to please Zhang Shoujue
Control yourself to eat half full each time
Hopefully, it will be further enhanced

Twenty-four years of the new century (736)
An Lushan had already been appointed as the General of Pinglu and Zuo Xiaowei
Once, Zhang Shoujue ordered him to recruit Khitan defectors
Due to the light enemy of An Lushan
The operation failed
Zhang Shoujue was to behead An Lushan according to the law
Before leaving, An Lushan shouted
"Doesn't the Doctor want to destroy the two yês?" What is killing Lushan? ”
Zhang Shoujue thought of Xiao Yong
So he was escorted to Chang'an
It was up to the imperial court to handle the matter
Tang Xuanzong learned about An Lushan's bravery
He was acquitted and released back
Also did the Pinglu Terracotta Army
An Lushan is good at scheming and means things
As long as the court sent officials to inspect him
An Lushan bribed them a lot of jewelry
So after these people returned to Chang'an
They all praised An Lushan's talents
After a long time, Tang Xuanzong also began to believe in An Lushan

Tang Xuanzong's trust
How much did Tang Xuanzong trust An Lushan?
According to historical records
An Lushan wanted to be able to consolidate Xuanzong's favor for him
He recognized Yang Guifei as his own dry bride
When Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong were together
An Lushan always worshipped Yang Guifei first
Goodbye to Tang Xuanzong
Tang Xuanzong was puzzled, so he asked him why
An Lushan replied
"Hu people first mother and then father"
Tang Xuanzong was already dazed
Hearing such an explanation is actually "great joy"
Stills of Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong
An Lushan "often ate with concubines (Yang Guifei),
Everything you can do."
"Entering and leaving the palace is forbidden, or eating with noble concubines,
Or stay up all night, quite scandalous, and there is no doubt about it."
Even when someone said that An Lushan and Yang Guifei had a scandal, they still did not suspect it
Tang Xuanzong was also afraid that outsiders would frame An Lushan with poisonous wine
He gave the gold medal to an arm of An Lushan
Whenever there is a banquet in the palace, when it is time to drink
An Lushan took out the sign: "Quasi-edict to break the wine." ”
An Lushan was obese and weighed about three hundred pounds
Tang Xuanzong once joked
"What's in this beard?" Its Great Nair"
An Lushan said, "There is nothing left, there is a red heart ear."
Tang Xuanzong was very happy after hearing this
It can be said that an unparalleled favor of An Lushan is unmatched
Even Yang Guifei's brother Yang Guozhong could not look back on him
In order to compete for favors, Yang Guozhong often played tang Xuanzong Dao
"An Lu Shan will rebel,
If An Lushan was summoned to Beijing, he would certainly not come. ”
An Lushan has his own eyeliner in Beijing
As soon as Tang Xuanzong called, he immediately came to Chang'an
Crying to Tang Xuanzong
"The subjects, the illiterate,
His Majesty was promoted to a subordinate and was killed by Yang Guozhong. ”
An Lushan was very clever and pretended to be pitiful in front of Tang Xuanzong
This trick really works
Tang Xuanzong trusted him even more
As long as someone said that An Lushan wanted to rebel
Tang Xuanzong was definitely furious
Moreover, he sent someone to tie up the speaker to An Lushan
By the tenth year of Tianbao (751 AD).
An Lushan was appointed as the envoy of Hedong Jiedushi
An Lushan was already in Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong
Three major knots
envoy
And has taken control of Hebei, with elite cavalry

After Yang Guozhong's tossing and bitter compulsion
After all, An Lushan was also very afraid
So on the way back to Fanyang
An Lushan quickly stepped up his whip
Hurry out of the customs, three or four hundred miles a day
For An Lushan's rebellion, Yang Guozhong also had to bear great responsibility
Maybe it was Tang Xuanzong who felt something different
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755 AD)
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang summoned An Lushan to Chang'an
He wanted to marry his son An Qingzong
Let An Lushan come to watch the ceremony
Speaking of common sense
The emperor gave his son marriage
Trusting him so much, the palace came and went as he pleased
He should be happy
But he just wouldn't come
At this time, An Lushan had already decided to rebel
Because Yang Guozhong, the prime minister in the imperial court, often stirred up dissension
In addition, an incident that happened before also offended the prince
Once, An Lushan met the prince and did not worship
The people next to him advised him to worship the prince quickly
An Lushan pretended to be confused
"Subjects and Hu people, do not practice court etiquette, do not know what the prince is an official"
Tang Xuanzong told him
"This Crown Prince, long live the Emperor, also the One who replaces you"
An Lushan said with a smile
"The subject is foolish, only knows that there is His Majesty, but does not know that there is a prince"
At that time, when the prince heard this, could he not be angry?
An Lushan offended the crown prince in order to make the emperor happy
Tang Xuanzong's age was also older
Long live the future
After the crown prince ascended the throne, could he spare An Lushan?
Therefore, An Lushan's rebellion was already on the string
It's something that happens sooner or later
Unless An Lushan would sit still
If it were you
What would you do?
brief summary:
Of course, there were many reasons for the An Lushan rebellion
But Tang Xuanzong's fault was undoubtedly the greatest
He trusted An Lushan unconditionally without examining
Partial listening to partial belief, let An Lushan hold great power
By the time no one could suppress him, it was too late
