Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was heroic and talented, and in the early days he exerted great efforts to govern, knew people to make good use of them, humbly accepted advice, reused Yao Chong, and Song Jing as prime ministers, pushed the Tang Dynasty's national strength to the peak, known as the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era"; in the middle period, he pursued pleasure, ignored the government and politics, and trusted Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, and others, which led to the corruption of the government and the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion" that endangered the Tang Dynasty for eight years, and the Tang Dynasty also lost the throne and became the Emperor Taishang. He was an emperor with outstanding merits.
