Tang Yizong in film and television dramas
When Emperor Xuanzong died in 859, Emperor Xuanzong's eldest son, Li Wei (李凗), was immediately taken to the throne by eunuchs, and Li Wei was known as Emperor Yizong. As Xuanzong's son, everyone originally expected him to continue the actions of his father Xuanzong, but what everyone did not expect was that Yizong was a faint and incompetent person. He reigned for 14 years, ignoring the problems that endangered the security of the country, such as peasant uprisings, eunuch dictatorships, and the division of feudal towns, and was preoccupied with pleasure, often holding banquets in the palace, drinking and having fun, singing and dancing, and playing around became the norm, and also welcomed the relics of Famen Temple, laboring and hurting the people and money, increasing the burden on the country, and the little capital that Xuanzong had accumulated so hard was quickly destroyed by this son who was playing extravagantly and drunkenly dreaming of death. In 873, the summer of the year of the feast of the Famen Temple, the 41-year-old Yizong y was seriously ill at the Xianning Temple to end his happy life.
When Emperor Yizong was gone, his 12-year-old son Li Yan (xuān), like his father, was proclaimed emperor by eunuchs, and Li Yi was emperor. Emperor Xianzong was only 12 years old on the throne, naturally he had no ability to manage the government, and everything was handled by the eunuch Tian Lingzi, who took care of him, and Emperor Xianzong's task was to have fun, which was similar to Yizong. He is proficient in cockfighting, goose betting, riding archery, music, Go, gambling, etc., especially in polo. With such a monarch, the country was of course more politically dark, the society was more turbulent, the taxes were more and the people were very resentful, coupled with the accumulation of problems during the Yizong period, and soon a more violent Huangchao Uprising broke out. In the winter of 880, Chang'an was captured by rebels, and Emperor Xuanzong fled to Sichuan. In the days that followed, in order to recover Chang'an, Emperor Xianzong made a wish to various envoys in Chengdu, and then used Shatuo soldiers to quell the rebellion, coupled with the rebellion of Zhu Wen, the leader of the rebel army, Huang Chao was soon defeated, withdrew from Chang'an, and later committed suicide in Shandong.
In 885, emperor Wuzong, who had been in exile for four years, finally returned to Chang'an, and before his ass was hot, Emperor Xingning made Zhu Mei emperor's great-grandson Li Xi (yùn), the great-grandson of Emperor Suzong, and Emperor Xianzong was forced to flee again. After that, the imperial court was in turmoil, and Emperor Xianzong remained in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, until the incident of Li Xian, the King of Xiang, was put to rest (in early 888), and Emperor Xianzong returned to Chang'an. Only two months after his return, Emperor Xianzong became ill and whimpered, and he was only twenty-seven years old.
Zhu Wen in the film and television drama
After Emperor Zhaozong's death, Emperor Zhaozong's younger brother Li Jie (later renamed Li Ye) the Prince of Shou succeeded to the throne with the support of the eunuch Yang Fugong, who was Emperor Zhaozong. After Emperor Zhaozong ascended the throne, he had been working hard to solve the eunuch monopoly and the division of the feudal towns, hoping to restore the prosperous situation of the Tang Dynasty, but the opposite happened, and although the eunuchs were hit, they did not completely solve the problem. In the two major battles of Xichuan and Hedong, one destroyed Tian Lingzi but lost Xichuan; the other weakened Li Keyong, but killed or wounded the central forbidden army, and indirectly attacked Zhu Wen's opponents, so that Zhu Wen had the focus on destroying the surrounding forces, becoming the hegemon of the Central Plains, and laying the foundation for the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

In the later period, Zhaozong completely became a pawn of the feudal envoys, Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and Li Maozhen all wanted to blackmail Tianzi to order the princes, and finally Zhu Wen was afraid that Zhaozong would become the other side's signature and sent his men to kill Zhaozong at the age of 37.
After Tang Zhaozong was killed (904), Jiang Xuanhui falsely passed on the will to support Zhaozong's ninth son, the 13-year-old Li Li (chù), who was the Emperor of Tang and Emperor Jingzong. Li Yu reigned for 3 years, did not issue any government decrees, and everything was decided by Zhu Wen. By March 907, Emperor Ai was forced to give way to Zhu Wen, and the Tang Dynasty, which had lasted for 289 years, perished. The last emperor, Emperor Ai of Tang, was poisoned the following year at the age of 17.
