The Tang Dynasty, this dynasty is very familiar to everyone, and everyone's pride in mentioning this is spontaneous. To this day, the Tang Dynasty still influences us in many ways, such as Tang Costume is one of them. The reason why we are proud of the Tang Dynasty is because the Tang Dynasty is one of the few powerful unified dynasties in the history of our country. Of course, the strength of the Tang Dynasty was directly related to its emperor. We now look at the general situation of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, this dynasty is not only a dynasty with many Ming emperors, but also one of the few dynasties in China that has almost no small emperors. However, many emperors died by taking dan medicine.
In 618, Li Yuan forced Yang You to take the throne to himself, Li Yuan declared himself emperor, and the Tang Dynasty was officially established. In 907, Zhu Wen forced the Tang Emperor Li Yu to take the throne and established Later Liang, and the Tang Dynasty officially collapsed. From the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to its demise, Guozuo 289 years, passed down 21. Among the great unified dynasties in China, the Tang Dynasty is the dynasty that has existed for the longest time. Although the Han Dynasty lasted longer, many people do not recognize the Eastern Han Dynasty as a continuation of the Western Han Dynasty. As for the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to a remote corner, not a unified dynasty.
The first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan is easily ignored by everyone, and basically everyone believes that the reason why the Tang Dynasty can be established is the credit of Li Yuan's son, and Li Yuan himself has little to do with it. In fact, if you think about this matter carefully, Li Yuan is the founding emperor, if he really has no ability, can he establish the Tang Dynasty and unify the whole country? It can be said that Li Yuan, as emperor, was definitely a Ming Emperor, and during his reign he was humble and lenient, lenient in punishment, continued to exercise the imperial examination system, strengthened military strength, practiced frugality, carried out currency reforms, inhibited the development of Buddhism, and so on. It laid the foundation for the later prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. These things all show that Li Yuan is a Ming Jun, but although Li Yuan is a Ming Jun, he has not handled one thing well, that is, the relationship between his sons. In particular, the relationship between the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the Qin king Li Shimin, the consequence of this incident was that the Xuanwumen Incident occurred, the prince and his henchmen were killed, and Then Li Yuan was forced to give way.
Li Yuan reigned for a total of 8 years, and during these eight years, Li Yuan still did a good job for the government, and he was also a Ming Jun. If it were not for the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan's influence in history would be far greater than it is now. In 635, Li Yuan, who was in the 9th year of Zen, died of illness. However, Li Yuan's Zen concession is still good, after all, Li Shimin's merits are obvious to all.
The second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. This person is known to everyone and is a rare Ming Jun in history. During Li Shimin's reign, he did everything with an open mind, strict economy, and recuperation. Not only that, he also attacked the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, conquered Gaochang, Guizi and Tuguhun, and severely damaged Goguryeo. These military operations greatly expanded the territory and sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, although Tang Taizong was a Ming Jun, he also did some faint things, such as revising the actual records, wanting to take Dan medicine for immortality, and not liking advice in his later years. But none of this is a big deal. Tang Taizong's most controversial thing was the change of Xuanwumen, which was a stain on his life. However, these stains did not affect the glorious image of Tang Taizong, and no matter how Tang Taizong was a rare Ming Emperor.
Tang Taizong was the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty to die of taking Dan medicine, but this was only the beginning for the Tang emperor. Because too many emperors were imitating Tang Taizong later, many of the Ming emperors of the Tang Dynasty were the same as Tang Taizong.
The third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi. Li Zhi, like his grandfather Li Yuan, was a grossly underrated emperor. The reason why Tang Gaozong was ignored was because his father Tang Taizong was very powerful, and his wife Wu Zetian was also very powerful, and his reputation in the middle was relatively small. However, what Tang Gaozong did during his reign was not bad. For example, he has done everything such as being humble and accepting advice, being frugal, and paying attention to people's livelihood, so he has created the rule of Yonghui. Not only that, militarily, the Tang Dynasty also destroyed the Western Turks, Goguryeo, and Baekje, and the tang dynasty's territory reached its peak during the tang dynasty. In this way, his merits were similar to those of his father, Tang Taizong.
However, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, he did something very wrong, that is, to let the harem interfere in politics. Especially in the late period of his reign, Empress Wu Zetian held almost all the power. This incident almost ruined the Tang Dynasty. Apart from this incident, Tang Gaozong did not do anything else faint. In general, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was also a Ming Emperor, and he was a more conspicuous Ming Emperor in any dynasty.
Wu Zetian, the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Wu Zetian was the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the reason why she was the fourth emperor was because she had been in power since the late Tang Gaozong period, and the middle two were puppets. In 690, Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou. She is the only female emperor in our country, and this alone deserves everyone's admiration. During the reign of Wu Zetian, he also did the good deeds done during The period of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Her shortcomings during her reign were her preference for reusing cool officials and living extravagantly in her later years. It is also understandable to reuse cool officials, after all, the imperial dictatorship was not serious at that time. If Wu Zetian had not done so, he would not have been able to maintain his position at all. It is understandable that life is luxurious, and many emperors are like this. Overall, she is definitely a Ming jun. He did these wrong things first, but the government did not have much impact.
In 705, the Shenlong Revolution took place, and Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate. Wu Zetian died not long after his abdication. Although she abdicated, the title of emperor remained. Until her death, she took the initiative to ask for her title of emperor to be removed. For the influence of Wu Zetian, it cannot be exaggerated. The mere title of a female emperor would have made her famous for eternity.
The fifth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian. For Tang Zhongzong, it can be said that he is not a Emperor of Darkness, but he is not a Ming Jun, and can only be said to be better than Yong Jun. He was a puppet during his first reign and did nothing. During his second reign, he restored the old system of the Tang Dynasty, waived rents, and defeated the Turks again. These acts were indeed the work of the Ming Emperor. However, he was afraid of his wife, so when he reigned for the second time, he let his wife and daughter participate in politics together, which was a very serious problem.
The sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Ruizong Li Dan. Tang Ruizong was the younger brother of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and like his elder brother Li Xian, his first time as emperor was a puppet. The throne was not originally his, he relied on his son to launch a coup d'état. After the death of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Empress Wei came to power, and Empress Wei hunted down members of the imperial family and wanted to learn from Wu Zetian as emperor. Li Dan's son Li Longji staged a coup d'état and executed Empress Wei and her henchmen, after which Emperor Zhongzong's son ceded the throne to Li Dan, and Li Dan became emperor. Tang Ruizong and Tang Zhongzong were similar in all aspects, both of whom had been emperors and deposed, and later became emperors again. Although they both did some of the things that ming jun did, neither of them ever fully controlled the government. When Emperor Zhongzong of Tang interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, his wife and daughter interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, and when Emperor Ruizong of Tang interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, his sister Princess Taiping interfered in the affairs of the dynasty, and the contradiction with his son Li Longji became more and more serious. Their mother, Wu Zetian, was so powerful, but the two sons they bore were really not very good. Of course, Wu Zetian's daughter Princess Taiping was still very powerful.
In 712, Emperor Ruizong of Tang ceded his son Li Longji to become Emperor Taishang himself, the second Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty. He did so in large part in support of his son. In 716, Emperor Ruizong of Tang died. Tang Ruizong, like Tang Zhongzong, was not a Ming Jun or a Di Jun, and could only be said to be average.
The seventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The reason why Tang Ruizong was able to become emperor for the second time was because Li Longji launched a coup d'état, but although Li Longji became emperor under Tang Ruizong's Zen concessions, the power was still controlled by Princess Taiping. At the beginning of Li Longji's succession, his main task was to seize power from Princess Taiping. In 713, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang succeeded in seizing power and killed Princess Taiping. Although his father Tang Ruizong interceded for this sister, Tang Xuanzong never agreed. After that, Tang Xuanzong really did everything that Ming Jun did to the extreme. During the Kaiyuan period under his rule, the Tang Dynasty's national strength reached its peak, far exceeding that of any previous dynasty. However, in the late period of his reign, he lived in luxury, indulged in alcohol, appointed traitors, etc., and did what he did. In the end, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and this civil unrest directly became a turning point for the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline. Tang Xuanzong himself fled to Chengdu. In 756, Tang Xuanzong's son Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, and Tang Xuanzong was forced to become Emperor Taishang. He was the third Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, there was a prosperous era of Kaiyuan and a rebellion of Anshi. Seriously, he's done everything he's done. However, the Anshi Rebellion was too serious and almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty. Judging from these two things, Tang Xuanzong can be said to be half Ming Jun and half Di Jun, and such an evaluation may be the fairest. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, eunuchs began to grasp a certain amount of power, which had a particularly great impact on the later generations, and the power of eunuchs became more and more powerful.
The eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng of Tang Suzong. When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled to Chengdu, Li Heng ran to Lingwu and ascended the throne with the support of the generals. He ascended the throne during the Anshi Rebellion, so his main task was to quell the rebellion. He did a good job during the quelling of the chaos. At this time, the Tang Dynasty recovered the two capitals, and also welcomed back the Taishang Emperor Tang Xuanzong, these two points are the greatest achievements of his reign. However, during his reign, he had a little shortcoming, that is, to let the empress intervene in politics. After his death, the empress even wanted to depose the crown prince for a while. Fortunately, this matter did not succeed, otherwise, there would be great turmoil in the Tang Dynasty. In 762, Tang Suzong died, and at the time of his death, the Anshi Rebellion, although not over, had come to an end.
Personally, I think that among all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Suzong was still not easy, and he had been quelling chaos during his reign. However, in terms of personal ability, he was obviously inferior to his father Tang Xuanzong. But it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a Ming Jun.
Li Yu, the ninth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Tang dynasty is also considered a Ming Emperor. During his reign, he ended the Anshi Rebellion and appointed Guo Ziyi to defeat Tubo and quell the rebellion of The Servant Gugu Huai'en, after which the country was in a period of peaceful development. Later, Emperor Tang Dynasty killed powerful ministers and eunuchs, selected talents and appointed talents, reformed water transportation, salt prices, grain prices, etc., and it can be said that the overall development of the Tang Dynasty was not bad. This is all the contribution of the Tang Dynasty Emperor. However, during the reign of Emperor Tang Dynasty, a big problem arose, that is, the strength of the clan town gradually grew, and there was a state of division. This was an important factor in the instability of the late Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty Emperor was never able to solve this problem.
Tang Dynasty Emperor's personal ability is really far less strong than Tang Xuanzong and Tang Taizong, but he did a good job during his reign, so he was also a Ming Jun. If he had been more capable, the problem of the division of the feudal towns might have been solved, and in that case, the Tang Dynasty might have been another outcome.
The tenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shi of Tang Dezong. For Tang Dezong, what he did during his reign was still very complicated. In the early days of Tang Dezong's reign, it was strictly forbidden for eunuchs to interfere in government affairs, to select talents and appoint talents, to abolish rent and mediocre regulations, and to change to the "two tax laws", all of which promoted the economic and social development of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of foreign relations, the Tang Dynasty, the North and Hui, the South and Nanzhao, the Western Jie Dashi, and the Tianzhu attacked Tubo. The Tang Dynasty even saw the scene of ZTE. Looking at it this way, Tang Dezong was indeed a Ming Jun, but within a few days of his sage, he began to increase his income from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the Tang Dynasty began to decline day by day. Personally, I think that the reason why Tang Dezong collected harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes had a lot to do with the situation at that time, because the feudal towns were divided, and he wanted to solve this problem, so he needed a lot of financial resources.
However, Tang Dezong's handling of the problem of the clan town did not achieve the expected results, and when he cut the clan, many clan towns rebelled. Tang Dezong had to flee Chang'an, just like Tang Xuanzong. Although the rebellion was finally put down, Tang Dezong also changed his attitude towards Fanzhen, and did not dare to easily take action against Fanzhen after that. Perhaps this was the result of his later emphasis on eunuchs, after all, eunuchs were their own people and could contain the town.
In general, Tang Dezong is not a Ming Jun, but he is also not a Dark Jun. In particular, he reused eunuchs in his later years, causing great hidden dangers. Although he wanted to solve the problem of the clan town, it was not the right way. Using eunuchs to solve the problem of the town is also a drinking duck to quench thirst.
The eleventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Shunzong Li Shu. In fact, Tang Shunzong's personal ability is still relatively strong, this person is very filial and resourceful, such a person is the emperor is definitely a Ming Jun. When he ascended the throne, he found that his father was left with a mess, and the eunuchs and the feudal towns were in power. So he wanted to reform and take back power from the eunuchs and feudal lords. As a result, the eunuchs and feudal towns were too powerful, and Tang Shunzong failed to seize power. In the end, he was forced to cede Zen to his son Li Chun and became the Taishang Emperor, who was indeed the fourth Taishang Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Shunzong reigned for a total of about a year, and before he could do anything, he was forced to give way. Zen died not long after that.
For Tang Shunzong, although he was forced to give in, the evaluation of him in the history books was not bad. He is the real Tarzan collapsed in front of him and did not change his color. But to be a prince, an emperor, or a taishang emperor, the mentality is not bad. Although he is not a Ming Jun, he did a good job when he was a prince.
The twelfth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xianzong Li Chun. Tang Xianzong was also a rare Ming Emperor during the Middle Tang Dynasty, and his personal ability was very strong. It is reasonable to say that he became emperor with the support of eunuchs and feudal towns, and should be a puppet. But after he became emperor, he was not a puppet, and he also did a lot of things that Ming jun did. For example, suspending the donation of Xiangrui, revising the law, rectifying the imperial examination, reducing provincial officials, and strengthening financial management, these were all done by Tang Xianzong. Because of this, the Tang Dynasty once again appeared under his rule. Not only that, tang Dezong's unresolved problem of the town was also solved in his hands. At this time, all the feudal towns were subordinated to the central government, and the power of the central government of the Tang Dynasty was enhanced. If he had continued to be wise, the problem of the clan town might have really been eradicated. However, in the later period of his reign, he made many mistakes that Tang emperors would make, that is, to take Dan medicine.
Tang Xianzong became irritable because he often took Dan medicine, so he killed many eunuchs around him. He was the second Tang Emperor to eat Dan medicine to death. Later the eunuch killed him to protect himself. Although he was a Ming Jun, this method of death was still relatively humiliating. But in any case, he turned the situation in the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent.
The thirteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Muzong of Tang, Li Heng. When Tang Muzong ascended the throne, the overall situation in the Tang Dynasty was still relatively good under the efforts of Tang Xianzong. If Tang Muzong continued his father's efforts, the Tang Dynasty might be able to reach a higher level of strength. However, not only did he not inherit his father's wisdom, but he basically did everything that Emperor Xuan had done. Indulging in wine, building a large number of civil engineering, reusing eunuchs, etc., for a time the government was dim. Not only that, because he did not deal with the disarmament issue well, the three towns of Heshuo rebelled again, which almost ruined the Tang Dynasty.
It can be said that Tang Muzong was a complete emperor, and he was also the first true emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But this is just the beginning, and there are other dark lords behind it.
The fourteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jingzong of Tang, Li Zhan. Tang Jingzong was 16 years old and had reached adulthood. However, like Tang Muzong, he basically did not do anything serious. Tang Jingzong ignored the government and indulged in Keju and other games. During his reign, eunuchs and courtiers colluded with each other, and imperial power was almost emptied. During his reign of about a year, he was killed by the false eunuch Liu Keming, which was also the first in history.
Tang Jingzong, like his father Tang Muzong, was also a emperor. Fortunately, the father and son reigned for a short time, adding up to about six years, which was not particularly harmful to the Tang Dynasty. If the time were longer, the Tang Dynasty would really have perished prematurely.
The fifteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Wenzong Li Ang. Since Tang Jingzong died relatively early, he succeeded his brother Li Ang after his death. When Tang Wenzong ascended the throne for 18 years, he was in his prime. At this time, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty continued to increase their power from the time of Emperor Dezong of Tang to five generations now, and their strength was getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, after Tang Wenzong ascended the throne, he wanted to weaken the power of eunuchs and seize power from eunuchs. But what he did not expect was that he failed to seize power. He was eventually depressed under house arrest and died at the age of 31.
Although Tang Wenzong did not hold power for a long time, according to his initial behavior, it can be seen that he was also a Ming Emperor. Tang Wenzong was not close to women, diligent in government affairs, and strictly frugal, all of which were obviously going towards Ming Jun. However, his ability is not very strong, otherwise he would not have failed in the struggle for power with the eunuchs.
The sixteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan of Tang Wuzong. Li Yan was also the son of Tang Muzong, he was the younger brother of Tang Jingzong and Tang Wenzong, which was the son of Tang Muzong. Li Yan became emperor with the support of eunuchs, otherwise according to normal circumstances, it should be Tang Jingzong's son or Tang Wenzong's son who succeeded to the throne, and it would not be his turn at all. The eunuchs originally thought that Tang Wuzong would be the same as Tang Jingzong and Tang Wenzong, with average ability. But Tang Wuzong was still a man of great talent. After he ascended the throne, with the support of the chancellor Li Deyu, he began to exert himself to govern. Simply put, it is to clarify the rule of officials, develop the economy, and weaken the power of eunuchs, feudal towns, and monks and landlords. Militarily, Tang Wuzong defeated the Uighurs. The Tang Dynasty once again appeared ZTE.
When we see this, we can find that the Tang Dynasty is still easy to produce a Ming Emperor. After all, they have many wise ancestors, just learn from them. However, these people also learned the shortcomings of their ancestors when they studied, and Tang Wuzong was one of them. Tang Wuzong, like Tang Taizong and Tang Muzong, indulged in seeking immortals in his later years and often ate immortal elixirs. Finally, at the age of 33, he died eating, and Tang Wuzong also became the third Tang Emperor to eat Dan medicine to death. This may be directly related to their surname Li, who believes that Lao Tzu is their ancestor. So many Tang emperors were obsessed with Taoism. But in general, Tang Wuzong was also a Ming Jun.
The seventeenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen. Tang Xuanzong was more special, he was the son of Tang Xianzong and the younger brother of Tang Muzong. In the front, Tang Jingzong, Tang Wenzong, and Tang Wuzong were all his nephews. It is reasonable to say that the imperial throne could not pass on to him, and when Tang Wuzong was seriously ill, Li Chen, with the support of eunuchs, became the emperor's uncle and began to supervise the country. After the death of Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Chen took the throne smoothly. When Li Chen was young, Tang Xianzong still attached great importance to him. However, in order to protect himself, he has always pretended to be crazy and stupid, and because of this, he was able to escape the disaster when Tang Muzong, Tang Jingzong, Tang Wenzong, and Tang Wuzong were four generations of emperors. The reason why the eunuchs supported him as emperor was that they also wanted to take the opportunity to control the government. But what the eunuch did not expect was that Li Chen was pretending to be stupid and immediately showed extraordinary ability after ascending the throne.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the selection of meritocrats, the weakening of the power of eunuchs, and the end of the Niu-Li dispute all strengthened the imperial power. After that, he rectified the rule of officials and practiced frugality, and the Tang Dynasty once again appeared in ZTE. Not only that, militarily, Tang Xuanzong defeated Tubo, pacified Saibei, pacified Annan, and accepted Hehuang, which belonged to Tang, and many problems on the Tang border were solved. It can be said that among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, the degree of wisdom is also the forefront. However, in his later years, like tang wuzong, he liked to take Dan medicine, and finally died of poisoning, becoming the fourth emperor to eat Dan medicine and die. This is really a common disease of the Tang Emperor, and there is nothing to do with Dan Medicine.
The eighteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yizong of Tang Yizong, Li Yizong. Tang Yizong also ascended the throne with the support of eunuchs, and from here it can be seen that the power of Tang eunuchs is really very large, and no matter how much restriction can not be eradicated. Tang Yizong was a very strong person, not only good at governing the country, but also very high in personal cultivation. During his reign, in addition to his efforts, he also knew the rhythm of music, and seemed to be an all-rounder and a rare Mingjun. However, in the later period of his reign, Tang Yizong began to die. In general, it is to ignore the government, to be extravagant and lascivious, and to advocate Buddhism, which eventually leads to the people's lack of livelihood.
In 873, Tang Yizong died at the age of 41. At the time of his death, the Tang Dynasty was already in turmoil and could perish at any time. It can be said that he is also a Ming Jun, but he fainted a little later. This mistake was a mistake that all Ming Jun would make, and his imperial journey was more similar to that of Tang Xuanzong.
The nineteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li of Tang. The old story was repeated, and Emperor Tang also ascended the throne with the support of eunuchs. When he ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty was already a mess, because Tang Yizong fainted in the late period, resulting in the people's unhappiness. Emperor Yizong of Tang was inferior to Emperor Yizong of Tang, and after he ascended the throne, his power was controlled by eunuchs and courtiers, and he himself only knew that he coveted pleasure and ignored the government. Eventually, the Wang Xianzhi Rebellion and the Huangchao Uprising broke out, which dealt a devastating blow to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty even lost Chang'an. In the process of suppressing the uprising, the local moderation took the opportunity to rise and become more and more powerful. At the end of his reign, the struggle between the jiedushi became more and more serious, and the central government of the Tang Dynasty basically existed in name only. In any case, he was also a rare emperor in the Tang Dynasty, and he did not do anything good. After his death, he passed the throne to his younger brother, later Tang Zhaozong.
Li Ye, the twentieth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Like the previous emperors, Tang Zhaozong also ascended the throne with the support of eunuchs. When Tang Zhaozong ascended the throne, he faced a mess, so he also wanted to revive the Tang Dynasty like other emperors. After ascending the throne, Tang Zhaozong began to select talents and strive to govern. Overall, the effect was still good, defeating many knots, and the power of the central tang dynasty was further increased. However, the long-term use of military power to the outside world caused serious damage to the central military strength of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Zhu Wen could only be appointed as the most powerful, and he himself was also limited by eunuchs. The final result was that Zhu Wen dominated the Central Plains in the struggle, and finally slaughtered all the eunuchs, and the problem of official eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty was completely solved. However, after this, Zhu Wen took power, and Tang Zhaozong also became a puppet. In 904, at the age of 38, Tang Zhaozong was executed by Zhu Wen's men.
It can be said that Tang Zhaozong can also be regarded as a Ming Jun, and it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time. Mainly after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the problem of eunuchs and feudal towns was too serious, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not cure it, and the Tang Dynasty continued to decline because of this.
The twenty-first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xi, the Emperor of Tang. Needless to say, after Tang Zhaozong was executed by Zhu Wen's people, he made Li Li emperor, and Li Tao was a puppet after he took the throne, only 12 years old. Although he was a little emperor, he was not particularly young. During his reign, Zhu Wen killed many ministers loyal to the imperial family. Finally, in 907, Zhu Wen forced Li Tozan to cede to him, and the Tang Dynasty officially collapsed. In 908, Li Yu (李柷) after the Zen concession was poisoned by Zhu Wen's men. He was not only the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the only emperor who did not have a temple number. It can be said that he became the king of the subjugated country or was urged by sorrow, after all, the world was not defeated in his hands.
This is the general situation of the 21 emperors of the Tang Dynasty. After reading it, we can find that there were indeed many Ming Emperors in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them were relatively faint in the later period of the Ming Dynasty. This dynasty basically did not have a small emperor, which was still not easy. The more interesting phenomenon is that they all like to eat Dan medicine, and many emperors eat immortal elixirs to death. I don't know what they think, there are so many emperors who have eaten to death, why do the emperors behind them continue to eat. In addition to liking to take Dan medicine, there are also many Taishang Emperors, and there are a total of four Taishang Emperors.
