China has a long tradition of writing history, which is a good thing, but there is a bad habit, that is, you like to use simple good and evil to characterize people at every turn, and as long as you are a bad person, then what you do in your life is wrong.
What's more serious is that people like to let women carry the pot, and many subjugated countries will be blamed on a woman, such as praising themselves, and red face and water have also become the exclusive term for ancient men to throw the pot.
In the matter of throwing the pot to the woman, I am afraid that Yang Yuhuan is the most miserable one, the Chaos of the Tang Dynasty's Anshi broke the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole Tang Dynasty was like being suddenly cut off by someone, and since then the national strength has taken a sharp turn, and it seems that it is not a dynasty feeling at all with the Sheng Tang.
The emperor fled in a daze, which was like the situation when all the states came to the dynasty, it was like another world, but these things obviously happened suddenly, yesterday it was still singing and dancing, and suddenly the world changed its appearance.
When the troops came to Ma Songyi, all the emotions finally exploded, and they poured their anger on Yang Guozhong, the reputable prime minister, who was hacked to death by a knife.
But the already angry soldiers did not calm down, they also demanded the execution of Yang Yuhuan, in the soldier's psychology, the culprit of the Anshi rebellion was this woman who confused the king with beauty in the deep palace, Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong were equally damned.
This is the general logic of people, although Yang Yuhuan did nothing, although in fact even Yang Guozhong was not the cause of the Anshi Rebellion, and even this Yang Guozhong repeatedly reminded Xuanzong An Lushan to rebel.
Yang Guozhong was faint and incompetent, the original mistake of killing him was not very big, the country made it like this, he as a minister, he must be responsible, but Yang Yuhuan's death, it is inexplicable, purely a scapegoat of anger.
The culprit of the Anshi Rebellion was the most famous chancellor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu, who was known as the Sword of the Mouth, and it was his series of measures that led to the excessive concentration of power in Jiedu, which eventually led to the Anshi Rebellion, and the problem of the division of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns has not been resolved since then.
Li Linfu is also an imperial prince and nobleman, but the family road fell relatively early, and if he really counts it back up, it shows that he is still Tang Xuanzong's uncle, but this weak relationship to his generation has disappeared.
Like all the little people who have an extreme desire for power, the main process of his development is also based on flattery and drilling, especially seeing the essence of being an official, coaxing the emperor to be happy, and everything is not a problem.
It was precisely adhering to this principle that Li Linfu became the person who served as the prime minister for the longest time in the era of Tang Xuanzong, for almost 19 years, for such a long time, Li Linfu was a person who attacked dissidents and flattered the emperor without a bottom line, as long as it was a person who slightly threatened his position, all of them were killed by him, and the entire late Xuanzong Dynasty was made into a miasma.
It is reasonable to say that people like Li Linfu will exist in every dynasty, but the reason why Li Linfu is so harmful is because he completely changed many policies of the imperial court, which directly led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.
Li Linfu was very defensive about talented people becoming prime ministers, so he gave Xuanzong a bad idea, and he vigorously appointed Hu people as border generals and gave them the authority of jiedushi envoys.
The appointment of Hu people as generals was nothing new in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Linfu's use of Hu people had another purpose, that is, to block a very good system in the Tang Dynasty.
The promotion of officials in the Tang Dynasty has the principle of seniority ranking, and there is a very distinctive place that many prime ministers do very well in the side generals, and then transfer back to the imperial court to serve as prime ministers.
In order to achieve the goal of long-term ministerial work, Li Linfu vigorously appointed those Hu people with a low level of education as emissaries, so that the possibility of them entering the DPRK as a minister was very small.
It was originally a very good virtuous circle, and the border generals knew that they had done a good job, could always be promoted, and could eventually enter the DPRK, but because of Li Linfu's intervention, the road was blocked, and the consequences were disastrous.
Rebellion this kind of thing, not that you are a very bad person can rebel, but to have a large number of people to support you, once the moderation makes there is no channel for promotion, then the people under his hands also mean that they cannot be promoted, this set of chain reactions, the situation in the town has become, in addition to becoming bigger and stronger, there is no way out the next day.
According to this logical evolution, even if An Lushan does not rebel, there will be other Hu people who will rebel, many people say that Li Linfu can suppress An Lushan, this suppression is purely based on personal ability to suppress, li Linfu died, An Lushan immediately lost control.
This is basically useless, all the power in history must have had two brushes in terms of the ability to commit adultery, the problem is that you make the situation like this, it is only a matter of time before you rebel, you rely on your personal ability is also temporary stability, and no one knows when the volcano will erupt.
In terms of talent, Yang Guozhong is obviously a scumbag, but it is precisely because he has no ability, so the destructive power generated is relatively limited, nothing more than doing some corrupt and perverted laws, nepotism and other such activities, by the time he is the prime minister, An Lushan has already lost his tail, and he can no longer say that it is useless.
The great prosperity of the tang dynasty has never returned, and the Sheng Tang has also taken a sharp turn into an empty shelf with no appearance, and the situation that was barely maintained made the later emperor no longer able to solve the problem of the fanzhen, until the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu was definitely the first sinner.
