Self-absorbed personality, the role of the pillow wind, the fear of personal experience.
Tang Xuanzong's evaluation in history is mixed, although his Kaiyuan prosperous era is the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but it is also the Anshi Rebellion under his rule that makes the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.
Among them, he killed three sons in one day and was even more criticized.
Although this incident is because people mislead him to make judgments, it also shows that he has made mistakes in handling things.

In fact, from his pampering of Yang Guifei, and then his love for Wu and Wu's favor yang Guozhong, and even indulgence in An Lushan, it can be seen that he is self-conscious.
Precisely because of the flaws in his character, he does not have much approval of people and things according to his own judgment, and does not have much approval for the suggestions or corrections of others, as in this case.
When someone reported that the three sons had the intention of rebellion, and then he saw that the three men were wearing armor, he determined the truth of the matter, and did not listen to the defense of the three sons and the mediation of others.
If you determine the fault of the three sons, you must punish them, both your own children and kill the chickens and monkeys, so you directly abolish your identity, feel that it is not enough, and then give three people to death.

Tang Xuanzong's ears were soft and easy to be used by the women he liked.
And this time the matter was completely dominated by his favorite concubine, Wu Huifei, who designed these three most promising princes to become emperors in order for her son to become emperors.
There was a change in the fake palace, so that the three princes rushed to the palace, and she told Tang Xuanzong that the three people were going to come to murder.
Tang Xuanzong, who trusted Concubine Wu Huifei, actually identified the truth in front of him without asking any questions, and directly determined the truth.

In fact, the main reason for this incident was caused by Tang Xuanzong's personal experience.
We know that Tang Xuanzong was able to succeed to the throne because of two palace coups, first from his father's generation, in which he overthrew Wu Zetian, and then by the coup he led to overthrow the powerful Wei Hou and thus take the throne.
Under the influence of these two coups, it was he who was most jealous of the royal family members wearing armor and carrying sharp to the palace, and always felt that they wanted to force him to abdicate.
Because of this psychology, he deeply resents this behavior and will never let it go once encountered.
So this time Wu Huifei's design achieved a super effect, Tang Xuanzong gave the death of the three sons in one day to leave the annals of history, probably out of Wu Huifei's expectations, so under the psychology of fear, Wu Huifei also died of illness not long after.
Tang Xuanzong's personality was actually a bit mean and unkind, and he married her son's daughter-in-law shortly after Wu Huifei's death, and even later thought of killing her son, if he had known it earlier, probably Wu Huifei would not have done this.
