In 763, shi dynasty rebels committed suicide in defeat, and the eight-year-long Anshi Rebellion was completely put down. In recognition of the meritorious service, Emperor Tang of the Tang Dynasty broke with the convention and enshrined the portraits of some important figures in the Ling Yan Pavilion. Surprisingly, there were two eunuchs among them! One of them was even more heinous, he almost brought down the Tang Dynasty! What's going on here? And look at the editors of "5,000 Years of Vertical and Horizontal" lonely goose one by one!
We all know that the eunuch dictatorship in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, this eunuch's fame is not small, named Cheng Yuanzhen! According to historical records, Cheng Yuanzhen was a native of Jingzhao Sanyuan, who entered the palace as a eunuch when he was young, and the highest was the deputy envoy of the Flying Dragon Stable, which was regarded as the "Bow Ma Wen" in the Tang Dynasty Palace. By chance, Cheng Yuanzhen became a red man in front of the emperor from Bow Ma Wen.
It turned out that in 762, Emperor Suzong of Tang was seriously ill, and Empress Zhang wanted to depose the crown prince, get rid of the eunuch Li Fuguo, and establish another Yue wang to oversee the state. This information was learned by Cheng Yuanzhen, who immediately reported it to Li Fuguo. Li Fuguo immediately took action, asking Cheng Yuanzhen to protect the crown prince first, and then to eliminate Empress Zhang's party. With the help of Li Fuguo, Cheng Yuanzhen and others, the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor for the Tang Dynasty.
After Emperor Tang ascended the throne, he repaid Li with a peach and rewarded Cheng Yuanzhen with the official Jinjue, "with merit to worship the deputy envoy of the Flying Dragon, the general of the Right Prison Gate, the Shangzhu Guo, and the knowledge of internal service to save affairs." Of course, Emperor Daizong's reuse of Cheng Yuanzhen also had a purpose, that is, to use him to get rid of Li Fuguo, the number one eunuch at that time. Later, Emperor Tang of Tang stripped Li Fuguo of his right to prohibit military force and made Cheng Yuanzhen "a great general on horseback, the Duke of Yingguo, and the general forbidden army".
Tang Dynasty Zong's move was actually not very clever, it was equivalent to removing a wolf and attracting a tiger. After Cheng Yuanzhen replaced Li Fuguo, "Quan shocked the world, on the right side of the auxiliary country, the fierceness was over, and the army called for ten langs", this Cheng Yuanzhen was worse than Li Fuguo. But even so, at this time, the Anshi rebellion had been quelled, so Emperor Tang Dynasty enshrined the portraits of 30 heroes into the Ling Yan Pavilion, including Cheng Yuanzhen!
After Cheng Yuanzhen took power, he began to do evil and almost brought down the Tang Dynasty! First of all, frame and persecute famous generals. In the chaos of Pingding Anshi, a large number of famous generals emerged, all of whom were invariably slandered and framed by Cheng Yuanzhen. The first to be recruited was the general Guo Ziyi, but he was still good, and he was only stripped of his military power and served in idle positions. Others weren't so lucky.
In the process of quelling the chaos of the war, Jiedu made Lai Yao outstanding in battle, but he was framed for offending Cheng Yuanzhen, and after entering the dynasty, he was demoted to a county lieutenant, and was given death on the way. Tonghua Jiedu made Li Huairang also framed by Cheng Yuanzhen and "worried about suicide". The general Li Guangbi, who was on a par with Guo Ziyi, was also framed and never entered the dynasty again. Cheng Yuanzhen made such a fuss, causing the fan town to centrifuge from the imperial court, and almost brought down the Tang Dynasty!
In September 763, the Tubo army invaded on a large scale, and the generals were in a hurry, but Cheng Yuanzhen concealed the information and did not play. In October, under the guidance of the Tang Dynasty generals, the Tubo army successfully entered the Guanzhong region, at which time the emperor received the news, and Guanzhong was shocked! Emperor Tang hurriedly issued an edict and recruited various feudal towns to enter the King of Jingqin, but the generals gritted their teeth at Cheng Yuanzhen, and none of them sent troops to rescue them.
The Tubo army arrived in Weishui, the soldiers approached Chang'an, and Emperor Tang led a small number of people to flee. The Tubo army entered Chang'an, plundered it, and established Li Chenghong as a puppet emperor, with great ambitions to subvert Li Tangjiangshan. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was also in turmoil, a little careless, may change the day, fortunately the Tang Dynasty also has a general named Guo Ziyi!
Guo Ziyi did not have many troops in his hands, but he used suspicious military tactics to make people preach that "Guo Linggong's general army from Shangzhou does not know how many to count!" Tubo believed it to be true and withdrew from Chang'an in a hurry. Guo Ziyi led an army to retake Chang'an. At this time, Emperor Daizong of Tang, who was fleeing from the country, received many twists and turns and impeached Cheng Yuanzhen one after another, but Emperor Daizong only stripped him of his official title and released him back to the field.
Cheng Yuanzhen was not dead, and sneaked back to Jingshi in the clothes of a woman, in a vain attempt to see the emperor in an attempt to make a comeback, but was discovered by Yushi and impeached, and Emperor Tang was unable to do so, so he had to exile him to Qinzhou. But Cheng Yuanzhen offended too many people, and when he went to Jiangling, he was killed by the enemy family, which was also deserved!
