Anshi Rebellion
Li Sanlang ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Kaiyuan, which means a new beginning, but the situation he is facing is not optimistic, the accumulation of diseases in the imperial court for several years has been concentrated and exploded, and it needs to be dealt with urgently.
Li Sanlang worked hard, put things right, had a precise vision, promoted talents, and successively appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling and other famous ministers; rule the country by law, strict self-discipline, humble and good at admonishment; Leading the reform of the military system, the stability of the frontier, the culture has also been unprecedentedly prosperous and exhibition, poets, writers emerge in endlessly, for a time the politics are harmonious, less than a few years Li Sanlang will be the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, if the Taizong Emperor Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule created the Tang Dynasty, then Li Sanlang is the Tang Dynasty to the peak of the peak, can be called an emperor through the ages.
But things are often reversed, and when everything reaches the peak, it will inevitably go downhill again.
In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, Youzhou.
There was a bearded man in the market, burly, unusually fat, this man was thirty years old, and he was idle all day long, doing some things like buying and selling, stealing chickens and touching dogs. On this day, when stealing the sheep, he was caught red-handed by the official family and sent to the Yamen, and Zhang Shouqi, who was the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu at the time, was extremely resentful of the theft, and did not interrogate much, and directly ordered to beat him to death with a stick.
At the moment of life and death, Hu was shocked, and in a hurry, he shouted loudly: "Doesn't the lord want to destroy the invading foreign tribes?" But why did you kill me at this time? ”
After hearing this, Zhang Shouqi secretly thought to himself that this person was reasonable, since he wanted to kill, why should he be killed with a cane, but it was better to let him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and it could also play a certain role, so he ordered to stop and incorporated him into the army.
Zhang Shouqi has a unique vision of employing people, this Hu people are mostly mixed in the market, mostly communicate with foreign peoples, can master various languages, respond quickly, and are very familiar with the mountains and rivers here, so he arranged for him to capture the enemy's spies. Zhang Shouqi's move just used good steel on the blade, and every time Hu Ren received a task, he never went empty, and made a lot of contributions. Zhang Shouqi is very fond of it, Hu people also stammered with Zhang Shoujue, he knew that Zhang Shouju did not like fat people, so he strictly controlled his diet, and it didn't take long for him to lose a lot of weight.
But people are like this, often get carried away when they are proud, Hu people once led troops to the battle, but they were greedy for merit and went deep, and the army went deep alone, and the result was defeated by the enemy, the Tang army suffered heavy losses, and was punished according to the law, but Zhang Shouqi really couldn't bear it, so he reported the matter to the imperial court, and let the court make a decision, hoping to exchange for a glimmer of life for the Hu people, just like that, the Hu people were escorted to the divine capital.
At this time, Zhang Jiuling was already the prime minister, and the matter had to be dealt with by him, but when he interrogated Hu Ren, he suddenly felt that although this person had a simple face, he was cunning in his heart, and he looked disobedient, not to mention that he had committed such a serious crime, without saying a word, he insisted on being sentenced to beheading, and threatened: "If you mess with Youzhou, you will be this Hu also!" ”。 But for some reason, this matter spread to Li Sanlang, it stands to reason that people with official positions like Hu Ren have more than 10 million eyes in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Sanlang sent a ghost to ask about the case, so he summoned this Hu person to the palace.
Li Sanlang looked at this Hu man, although he was fat and strong, but Li Sanlang was not as disgusted with him as others, but felt that he was a little naïve, so he slowly asked: "What is your name?" Why was he guilty of such a crime? ”
The Hu people met the emperor for the first time

, I was nervous in my heart, so I hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the sinner An Lushan, what was committed... ”
Suddenly, Li Sanlang's eyes lit up, he didn't listen to what he said, but he was surprised by his name, Li Sanlang looked this person up and down again, although this person was strong, but his eyebrows were indeed a little similar to that person, and before he finished speaking, he asked in a loud voice: "Who is your father?" ”
An Lushan looked surprised, how could the emperor suddenly ask about his father, so he replied hesitantly: "Back to Your Majesty, sinners don't know, I have no father since I was a child, and I have never seen each other." ”
After hearing this, Li Sanlang unconsciously stood up, walked straight to An Lushan, looked up and down, and suddenly his eyes fell on the jade pendant on his waist, Li Sanlang reached out and took off the jade pendant, and continued to ask: "Where did this jade pendant come from?" ”
An Lushan was still surprised, and replied in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, this jade pendant has been on my body since I was a child, and I heard my mother say that it should be left by my father." ”
Hearing this, Li Sanlang's eyes couldn't help but flush for a while, and then asked his age with a slight trembling voice, An Lushan answered truthfully, Li Sanlang pinched his fingers, and secretly determined in his heart that this person must be the son of Chi Yan Luo back then, but now that this person has committed a serious crime, Li Sanlang is inconvenient to recognize him directly, so he eased his emotions and returned to the dragon chair; In the end, An Lushan was exempted from the death penalty and continued to return to the barracks in white. This time An Lushan can be said to have escaped death, but from this moment on, An Lushan has started his own road to green clouds, and it is far better than before.
Zhang Shouqi saw An Lushan return safely, his heart was overjoyed, so he continued to entrust it to reuse, and the court also frequently rewarded him, and within a few years, An Lushan took up an important position, and his power grew day by day.
Of course, this is also inseparable from An Lushan personally. Since he returned from the gods, he has realized a truth, you must first be a human being when doing things, otherwise no matter how great the feats you get on the battlefield, if you are not careful, you will face a place of no return. So what does it mean to be a human being? Quite simply, it's money! After An Lushan's traces, he began to make a lot of money, but this was not for himself, he collected a huge amount of wealth, and bribed the important members of the court, so that the court began to say good things for An Lushan, An Lushan also lived up to expectations, and there were frequent good news on the battlefield, Li Sanlang praised it in his heart, so An Lushan was able to rise steadily.
Li Sanlang later set up the post of Jiedu envoy in the frontier, in order to better resist foreign invasion, so the position of Jiedu envoy was extremely powerful, and An Lushan became the strongest and most powerful among the Jiedu envoys.
In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was over sixty years old, so he asked Li Sanlang to resign, returned to his hometown to sweep the tomb of his ancestors, died of illness in the same year, the last virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sanlang's lifelong friend has passed away since then, Li Sanlang was greatly saddened, and posthumously named him the governor of Jingzhou.
After Zhang Jiuling's death, the traitor Li Linfu became the prime minister with real power, An Lushan seized the opportunity to welcome and bribe him, and in the end, even Li Linfu began to speak for An Lushan and praise this person.
Li Sanlang was relieved and summoned An Lushan to the Hajj again, and the capital had been moved from the divine capital to Chang'an at this time. After An Lushan entered Beijing, he tried his best to flatter Li Sanlang, and Li Sanlang not only did not dislike it because of his special status, but loved him even more, and even allowed him to enter the palace at any time to get together; And the prosperity of Chang'an City and the dragon energy of Daming Palace stirred the depths of An Lushan's heart at this time, and unconsciously opened the deep desire in his heart.
Tianbao has been in the past four years, although Li Sanlang is already over six years old

The old man in the twilight of ten, but he loves one person in the harem very much, named Yang Yuhuan. In the same year, she was named a concubine, because there was no queen in the harem, and Yang Yuhuan became the de facto queen. Li Sanlang and Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan are friends, under its matchmaking, Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan also established a relationship, An Lushan seized the opportunity, tried his best to welcome Yang Yuhuan, weighed 300 pounds, walking need to be supported by others An Lushan, in order to invite pets, actually practiced Hu Xuan Dance, and became the best dancer in the Tang Dynasty in addition to Yang Yuhuan, Hu Xuan Dance.
It didn't take long for An Lushan to play to Li Sanlang, wanting to worship Yang Yuhuan as his stepmother, so that Li Sanlang became his father-in-law, Li Sanlang was overjoyed, so he just fulfilled his promise to Chiyan Luo back then, so he appreciated and agreed. Since then, An Lushan has been even more powerful and glorious.
But the good times didn't last long, not long after, Li Linfu died, Yang Yuhuan's distant cousin Yang Guozhong became the prime minister, Yang Guozhong in order to seize power, gradually disliked An Lushan, and began to plot to frame An Lushan.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan, who was already full-fledged, would not be willing to be subordinate, so he took the preemptive control of people, and on the grounds of "worrying about the danger of the country" and secretly crusading against Yang Guozhong, he united his fellow villager Shi Siming and supported 150,000 troops to open the road of rebellion; Li Sanlang was shocked when he interrogated, but it wasn't until seven days after the mutiny that he was finally convinced that his righteous son, An Lushan, had really rebelled!
An Lushan was like a bamboo, smashing Chang'an, Li Sanlang had no choice but to take Chen Xuanli, Gao Lishi, Yang Yuhuan and others to abandon Chang'an and flee to Maweipo, Yang Guozhong was also killed and dismembered by the rebels in this rebellion.
When he arrived at Maweipo, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi attributed all the blame for the civil strife to Yang Yuhuan, and strongly persuaded Li Sanlang to execute him.
Seeing this, Tubo also took advantage of the situation and began to attack the Tang Dynasty, worrying about external troubles for a while. On the way to escape, Li Sanlang had to pass on the crown prince Li Xiang and let him fight, while he continued to flee west and entered Sichuan and Shu.
After An Lushan raised the army, due to his obesity, he had boils for many years, so his temperament became irritable, he scolded the people around him arbitrarily, abused the punishment, and was finally killed by his son An Qingxu in the middle of the night in the second year of Zhide. Ironically, immediately after An Qingxu was killed by Shi Siming, Shi Siming proclaimed himself Emperor Dayan; But Shi Siming's throne was not yet hot, and he was killed by his son Shi Chaoyi, so far, the Anshi army was centrifuged and fell into chaos, the Tang army was able to counterattack, and this eight-year-long civil strife was finally quelled.
With the end of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Sanlang was able to return to Chang'an, live in Xingqing Palace, and call himself the emperor, but he no longer intervened in political affairs, and he was still waiting for Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, and Gao Lishi, the inner chamberlain.
Chen Xuanli lived in Xingqing Palace with Li Sanlang and was named Cai Guogong, but he died of serious illness not long after.
Li Sanlang lost a close friend again, and the death of Yang Yuhuan has always made Li Sanlang lingering, Li Sanlang was depressed all day long, only five years later, Li Sanlang died, at the age of seventy-eight, buried in Tailing, nicknamed to the Taoist Great Sage Ming Xiao Emperor, a generation of saints passed away.
Loyal all his life, he never gave up with Li Sanlang, known as "the first person of the ancient virtuous eunuch", Gao Lishi learned that Li Sanlang died, and immediately vomited blood and died, and was posthumously presented to the governor of Yangzhou and buried in Tailing.
In the same year, Tang Suzong Li Heng, who had been ill for a long time, also died.
