In ancient feudal society, the rise and fall of a dynasty was entirely in the hands of the emperor's good or bad progress, so to be a good emperor must be wise and martial, and Reilly was popular. The following emperor is a fool, stupid for 36 years, but once he ascended the throne, he performed extraordinary, wise and fierce, and eventually made the country prosperous, an emperor for thousands of years.
This was Li Chen, the emperor of Tang Xuanzong, whose original name was Li Yi, the son of Tang Xianzong, and because he was born to a palace maid, he was always unpopular and was given the title of King of Light. When he was very young, li Yi went crazy and became stupid, similar to the current second son. In the royal family, the minister has become a fool in the eyes of everyone, becoming the object of ridicule and fooling, and Li Yi has been stupid for 36 years.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was already a thin western mountain, and after the Anshi Rebellion, the feudal towns were divided, the eunuchs were dictatorial, the country was frequently in war, the people were not happy, and the smoke miasma was black. At this time, the inheritance of the imperial throne also underwent great changes, starting from Tang Xianzong, the abolition of the Tang emperor was completely in the hands of eunuchs. After Emperor Xianzong, in just over 20 years, he experienced Muzong, Jingzong, Wenzong, Wuzong, etc., Mu was always the son of Xianzong, but the next three completely broke the tradition of father and son, all of whom were Li Yi's nephews and eunuchs.
In this environment, if the royal children are too wise, they will be assassinated. And the stupid Li Yi, because he is a fool, has not received everyone's attention, and has been very stable as his own light king. However, in the time of Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Yan, who was then Emperor Wuzong, was supported by eunuchs. In order to keep his seat, he began to kill the Zongfu, and Li Yan always thought that his uncle was a bit stupid, and in order to avoid future troubles, he began to kill Li Yi.
At the beginning, he was ready to kill Li Yi silently, so every time he went out hunting, rowing, etc., he took Li Yi with him, deliberately tricked this fool, let him fall into the water, fell off his horse, fell down the steps, and directly caused an accident to kill Li Yi. However, every time Li Yi can kill Ji, for this reason, Wuzong is very confused, so he decided to kill Li Yi directly. He asked the eunuch to detain Li Yi and throw him directly into the pit of the palace toilet in an attempt to drown him, and one day, the eunuch reported that Li Yi was not dead.
Therefore, Emperor Wuzong sent the eunuch Qiu Gongwu to directly kill Li Yi, this Qiu Gongwu was a powerful eunuch at the time, thinking that Emperor Wuzong was weak and estimated to be about to die, if he left this fool, then he would make him emperor in the future, then it would not be a monopoly of power. So instead of doing what Emperor Wuzong said, Li Yi was fished out of the pit, washed clean, and sent to a temple for monasticism. Soon, Emperor Wuzong was critically ill, and at that time Emperor Wuzong Li Yan wanted to pass the throne to his son, but the eunuchs did not agree, and Qiu Gongwu directly said that he wanted to establish a fool Li Yi the Prince of Guang, and the other eunuchs had no opinion.
Therefore, Li Yi changed his name to Li Chen and inherited the throne, which was Tang Xuanzong. The word "Xuan" is generally used to describe the emperor of the wise and divine martial arts, and Li Yi is called Xuanzong, which is actually the embodiment of his wise divine martial arts. During his reign, Datang achieved ztex and strong national strength, and the so-called "Xiaozhenguan" flourished. The day he took office, he immediately showed intelligence and decisiveness.
He mainly did three things: First, he took down and eradicated Li Deyu, the prime minister who controlled the government and was in league with the eunuchs, and his group of men and horses, so that the government would return to his hands; second, he would crack down on the eunuch forces. After Tang Xuanzong became emperor, he often beat up those eunuchs who held power, so that they did not dare to control the government, so that the government was rectified, the government began to be clear, and the whole country showed a thriving scene.
The third is to straighten out the military and recover the land of Hehuang. After the Anshi Rebellion, the land of Hehuang was occupied by the Tubo Dynasty, and from the beginning of Emperor Suzong of Tang, he wanted to recover the land of Hehuang. However, the country was in a state of disarray, and it was still difficult to maintain it, so the land of Hehuang had been invaded by the Tubo people. After Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, civil unrest broke out in Tubo, and Emperor Xuanzong immediately made a decision and sent troops to reclaim the seven passes of the three prefectures in the land of Hehuang, making a major contribution to consolidating the territory of Tang, and posterity called him "Little Taizong".
The fourth is to lightly dispense with thin endowments, weaken the power of the feudal towns, and consolidate the centralization of power. After the Anshi Rebellion, the division of the Tang Dynasty town seriously depleted the national strength, and many of the feudal towns even exceeded the central government. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, he vigorously weakened the power of the feudal towns, so that the tang imperial power returned, and the scene of the end of the world appeared, known as "Xiaozhenguan". An emperor who pretended to be stupid for 36 years, if he did not sound, he was already a blockbuster, and he was called an emperor by later generations. If this momentum is followed, it may not be known that the Tang Dynasty will continue to prosper, but Emperor Xuanzong died after only 13 years on the throne, and the future kings fell into decay and finally had to perish.
