In the winter of the first year of Guangming, in the Daming Palace of Chang'an City, after learning the news that Huang Chao's army had crossed the Yangtze River and the soldiers were pointing directly at Guanzhong, the seventeen-year-old Tang Xianzong fought hard and watched a polo game in the square of the palace garden.
However, he did not expect that this ordinary performance would cause his personnel to collapse directly. The matter of "Tang Xianzong hitting the ball and gambling on Sanchuan" was distorted and publicized by later generations of literati, and the result of the final rendering made his name of greedy and fainting goon for more than a thousand years.
So was Tang Xianzong really a dimwitted monarch? Many people may say that if you look at the word "僖", you are definitely not a good bird.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > nickname - 僖</h1>
Zhou Yu (周谥号) has been used as a servant, and "僖" is usually not a good title, so many people arbitrarily believe that Tang Xianzong is a dimwitted king.
However, if you look closely at the nickname, it is not difficult to find that in fact, there are many other meanings besides having been.
For example, be careful and fearful of the Concubines; The Quality Yuan is advised to be known; there is punishment and the return is known; the Gang Ke is known; there is a Yue; there is a Yue; the Kindness and Love of relatives; the Caution and Caution; the Pleasure of Hearing Good Words; and the Prudentity of The Gentleness of the People.
So which is this "僖" of Tang Qizong? Judging from the summary of this emperor in the Old Book of Tang, the historian himself also had a deep sympathy for the little emperor of Tang.
This young emperor, in his environment and era, what he did was actually very good, if it were not for the two emperors before and after the Taikeng, he should have nothing to do with the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Gong rushed to the calendar, the government was in the eunuchs, ti lied and pious, and was worried and cautious. Is it not the fault of the emperor, and the poverty of his soil fortune? Woe to you!
When Tang Yizong took over, the Tang Dynasty was already in danger and crumbling. And all this is because he has a pit old father- Tang Yizong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > a pit daddy</h1>
The state family rules chaos, and the king listens to the judgment. Congratulations and extravagance, virtuous and degrading. Fierce erection of the country, the people of the dynasty. The adulterous male takes advantage of the provocation, and the conspiracy is eliminated.
Under the discussion of the history books, the Xiantong era under the command of Tang Yizong did not lightly harm the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that he took the class of "Little Taizong" Tang Xuanzong, and the old father had laid a good foundation for himself before. On top of such good conditions, Tang Yizong should at least go one step further, so as not to be the son of Tang Xuanzong, but under his rule, there were frequent wars at home and abroad, rebellions occurred one after another, and the four seas and salty passages eventually became an empty phrase.
As an old father, Tang Yizong left two major disasters for Tang Yizong, and both of them were particularly deadly:
The Jianghuai Rebellion weakened the southeast:
During the reign of Emperor Yizong of Tang, Nanzhao and Tang became at odds with each other.
For a time, Shannan Province, Jiannan Province, Annam Capital Protectorate, Lingnan West Province, and the frontier west of the Tang Dynasty were all reduced to battlefields, and wars were raging and lives were destroyed. In order to resist the Nanzhao, Datang had to implement two measures:
Domestic taxes were increased for military supplies.
A large number of soldiers were drawn from the Central Plains and jianghuai to garrison the land of the western region.
Since ancient times, wars have been fought to burn money, and the payment for wars has finally been apportioned to each peasant family, which is manifested in increasing taxes. Ancient peasants were the most bitter, natural disasters in the Taiping era could not be avoided, and man-made disasters in the war and chaos years came to increase.
In the end, the helpless peasant households could only rise up, and the first turmoil of the late Tang Dynasty, the Qiu Fu Rebellion, was born.
The peasants could not stand it, and the soldiers could not bear it, compared with the army stationed in the west. Long business trips, no subsidies, no subsidies, the local government does not give a break, a few years do not let people go back, to the rotation of time to let everyone continue to stick to, overcome and overcome, who does not have the elderly, children and daughters-in-law?
In the end, the intolerable army also began to rebel, and the Pang Xun Rebellion that plagued Jianghuai broke out.
Subsequently, a series of sequelae, such as the Xuzhou Silver Knife Rebellion, hit the Grain Road of the Grand Canal hard, making the land of the southeast granary a pot of porridge stirred up by the war.
The wealth of the imperial court depended on the southeast and the southeast chaos, and the Tang Dynasty was also empty.
Shatuo Rebellion:
At the beginning, in order to quell the rebellion in the southeast as soon as possible, Tang Yizong also introduced Shatuo cavalry, and it was natural to give people benefits to find someone to help.
Tang Yizong not only gave material rewards, but also gave the Shatuo chieftain the treatment of the national surname, and with the title of the national surname, Shatuo's heir Li Ke was really floating. Later, he fell out with the leader in Daibei, not only chopping the leader, but also pulling up the flag to rebel.
Li Guochang, who was on duty in the dprang, even in the name of persuading the children to get lost and return, also ran to the north to zhenwu and set up his own portal. Since then, Shatuo has begun to invade the south frequently, and there has not been a single day of tranquility in the north of Chang'an.
When Emperor Tang ascended to the throne, the chaos in front of him gave him a headache.
Dad, you keep this stall, it's a little too bad.
What to do, you have to clean up, however, before he can start cleaning, a thunder that Daddy buried before exploded.
In the second year of Qianfu, Wang Xianzhi pulled the banner to rebel, and then a fierce man also joined his team, his name was Huang Chao.
Since then, Tang Xianzong has begun to shed tears and sew up the bitter days of the Tang Dynasty.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > the tang dynasty, disobeying to do it</h1>
After Emperor Tang ascended to the throne, he quickly promoted his own person, the eunuch Tian Lingzi, and this Tian Lingzi was also very long-faced, and soon controlled the situation, stood out from the eunuchs, and became a traitorous minister that everyone scolded.
Generally, people who can get unanimous affirmation from others, whether positive or not, show that this person is indeed very capable.
With the help of Tian Lingzi, Emperor Tang began to fight back.
For Wang Xianzhi, Emperor Tang chose to suppress it, and the imperial court sent a large army to ping, and after a few years, the rebel army was finally driven south of Jianghuai, and the leader of the rebel army, Wang Xianzhi, was beheaded by Yu Yuanyu and sacrificed to the capital Que.
Later, Huang Chao gathered the remnants and was forced to shrink south of Dayuling, and according to the deployment of the imperial court, Wang Duo and Gao Biao, two Gemini civil and military officials, were bound to lock up Huang Chao.
Therefore, Tang Ting, who thought that the problem was not big, began to beat Shatuo with his free hands again.
As for Shatuo, Emperor Tang was not at all soft-hearted, and sent a large army of the imperial court to conquest several times, and at the same time contacted several emissaries from the northern side who did not deal with Li Ke to encircle and suppress the Shatuo army together. In the end, after several conquests, the Shatuo army completely collapsed, and Li Ke was forced to flee to northern Saibei with his father and son.
However, the price of victory was also tragic, the center of gravity of the imperial court was in the north for a while, I did not expect that the famous general Gao Biao and the angry Qing Zai Wang Duo in the south were all parallel goods, and the chain was dropped at the critical moment, and the double insurance eventually became a double kneeling, so huang chao was put all the way north, across the Yangtze River, and the army was directly approaching Chang'an.
In the face of the impending danger, the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty did not have the consciousness of the king's death, anyway, there were people running by before, others can, why can't I?
Tang Xianzong was forced to abandon Chang'an to run, young people, who did not want a face, along the way for who should bear the responsibility with Gao Biao also scolded, scolding, guangfu ancestral sheji is the first, the hat of the king of the fallen country is not easy to wear.
In the end, Tang Xianzong had to drink to quench his thirst, and pulled back Shatuo LiKe, the big brother, to help me kill the Yellow Nest. Done, the river host you had been thinking about before is yours.
Well, rest assured!
History tells us that as long as the price is right, everything is easy to say. Li Ke, with his longing for the glory of hedong Jiedushi, immediately led tens of thousands of Han cavalry troops south, and he did not expect that in fact, Tang Emperor had already had a back move to balance him.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > imperial power</h1>
After Huang Chao was defeated and ran away, Shatuo Li Ke began to fly away with himself, and Yin Yin became the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, belonging to the kind that was even more excessive than the later Qin Zongquan. For a time, the Jiedu envoys near Hedong were all facing the pressure of life and death, and the disobedient towns of Zhaoyi and Heshuo in the vicinity were all beaten by him, looking like the boss of the north.
This method of attracting tigers and driving wolves made Tang Xianzong very hurt, so he thought of another way, you are so strong, I will cultivate a stronger than you.
In order to deal with Li Keyong, Emperor Tang deliberately cultivated another opponent, that is, Zhu Wen and Zhu Quanzhong, who had recently surrendered to Tang Court.
Zhu Quanzhong's loyal performance after his surrender made Tang Shuzong feel very satisfied, he felt that this was a surrender general that could be trusted, after all, the other party had already surrendered once, not loyal to the imperial court, who else could he rely on?
Of course, if you want to gain complete trust, you also have to accept a name, which is Li Ke's head.
Soon, the opportunity came, Li Keyun was sent by the imperial court to Henan Province to help Zhu Wen fight away the Yellow Nest, Zhu Wen was rescued, naturally grateful to Dade, and it was also necessary to invite the benefactor to eat.
However, on the night of the invitation to dinner, Zhu Wen received a secret message from the imperial emissary and killed him.
Late at night, Zhu Wen set fire to litters and killed Li Keyong with three hundred people, and Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao and others took advantage of the heavy rain and lightning to escape over the wall and immediately fled back to Hedong in ashes.
Since then, Zhu Wen has gone straight up and become a red man in the eyes of Emperor Tang, and he felt that he had cultivated a fiercer one so that the Jiangshan could be balanced, but he did not expect that although he could cover the eunuch group, calm the Guannei festival, and teach Zhu Wen obediently, his body did not allow him to continue to repair the Tang Dynasty.
In the first year of Wende, Emperor Xianzong of Tang died. The situation he left behind was still relatively stable, the eunuch Yang Fugong was in control of the imperial situation, and Guannei was full of eunuchs who obeyed the eunuchs' imperial court concubines; Zhu Wen outside Guanwai was still working hard to quell the rebellion of Qin Zongquan; Li Keyong still had no firm foothold in Hebei, and the imperial court had the capital to balance him at any time.
Although Datang was weak, as long as it was carefully adjusted, it was not without the possibility of ZTE, but who let the tang come to power was Tang Zhaozong, who, under his rule, did eunuchs, ganshatuo, and ganguan inner festival envoys, and finally after being scaled all over the body, they were picked up by Zhu Wen, who looked down on him.
The Tang Dynasty then perished, but when I looked back at this history carefully, the original young Tianzi, Tang Qizong, really tried his best.
