The prince was considered "unwise" when he was young and taciturn, and the eunuchs supported him to ascend the throne only because he was in good control

In the ancient feudal dynasty, there were too many princes, which was not necessarily a good thing. In history, even between brothers and sisters, in order to compete for the throne, they will also fight each other, and even harm each other's lives. Therefore, for some princes who do not have the care of the mother's clan, Taoguang is obscure, or hiding his sharp edge is the way to save his life. In history, the best use of this trick is Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Xuanzong's name was Li Yi and he was the thirteenth son of Emperor Xianzong, but Li Yi's mother was not an innocent woman. Li Yi's mother was called Zheng Shi, who was originally a concubine of a jiedushi envoy, and later this jiedushi was arrested for rebellion, and Zheng shi also entered the palace and became a maid. Later, under the favor of Emperor Xianzong, Li Yi was left. Li Yi's origin was low, and in the ancient era when he was very particular, he had to hide his skills if he wanted to live, which was also what his mother wanted to see.

Therefore, Li Yi is very silent. When he was young, he once dreamed that he had taken the dragon to heaven, which was a very interesting dream for Li Yi. He was also happy to share his dream with his mother. However, after hearing this, his mother Zheng Shi was not very happy, but instead told Li Yi to tell him that this dream could not be known to others. For a long time afterward, Li Yi was considered unwise, stupid, and weak.

Therefore, the throne of the Tang Dynasty passed from his father to his brother, and his three nephews, and finally passed to his hands. The reason why Li Yi was chosen as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time was also due to the eunuch Ma Yuanzhen at that time. At that time, the eunuchs thought very simply, that is, they wanted to have a relatively weak emperor, so that it would be easy to control. Of course, this statement is indeed true, at least li Yi's performance is like this. Therefore, they supported Li Yi, but they did not want to, it turned out that Li Yi was a person who dressed up as a pig and ate a tiger. After ascending the throne, Li Yi gradually showed his political talents, and was even known as Xiao Taizong.

The Tang Dynasty, in the hands of Li Zhi, achieved the rule of the Great Middle. After Li Yi ascended the throne, he devoted himself to improving the various problems left over from the Middle and Tang Dynasties, whether it was party strife or the expansion of eunuch power, he effectively cracked down. In addition, he also suppressed such illegal magnates and foreign relatives, and even more rehabilitated wrongful cases and cleared the innocence of those who had been wronged.

In fact, Li Yi's ability may be the accumulation of learning and accumulation as a bystander over the years. As an imperial uncle, he was actually younger than his two nephews who were emperors. However, he liked to read, and even more liked to read Zhenguan politicians, and this accumulation made Li Yi a generation of Ming Emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
