How Tang Suzong died
Li Heng of Tang Suzong, also known as Li Jie, the third son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Empress Yang, spent his life in sorrow. He lived when the Tang Dynasty was gradually declining, and it can be said that Tang Suzong saved the rule of the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent, and it can also be said that when his father was playing the Tang Dynasty to the point of ruin, Li Heng stood up and tried hard.
After Tang Suzong ascended the throne, he reused the eunuch Li Fuguo, in 761 AD Tang Suzong fell ill and rested in bed, for a long time there was no early dynasty, in this case, his empress called the prince and said to the prince that your father is about to die, you must quickly kill Li Fuguo and others who hold the power of the forbidden army, otherwise you will be killed by them, but the prince did not listen, so Empress Zhang found someone else and decided to kill Li Fuguo. The news was heard by other eunuchs, so they told Li Fuguo, who brought troops into the palace on the grounds that the emperor was in danger, controlled the crown prince, and wanted to capture Empress Zhang. In order to avoid being pursued, Empress Zhang fled to the Hall of Eternal Life where Emperor Suzong of Tang was recuperating, and asked for the protection of Emperor Suzong of Tang, but unfortunately, at this time, Emperor Suzong of Tang no longer had any rights, and Empress Zhang was dragged out of the Hall of Eternal Life by Li Fuguo. Tang Suzong was so angry that he could not speak, and it did not take long before he died in the Hall of Eternal Life.
The tragedy of Tang Suzong was created by himself, the Tang Dynasty gradually declined, and the rulers used eunuchs to control state power, resulting in chaos in the country, and many emperors died because of it, which is a historical necessity. The rule of feudal dynasties has its own drawbacks, from its creation to prosperity to its eventual demise, replaced by a new dynasty, which is also the requirement of the development of the times.
