Although I don't know exactly about the Anshi Rebellion, I am not ignorant of it.

And it is precisely because I have a certain understanding of that war that I feel that what Yebai said makes perfect sense.

No matter from which point of view, Tang Xuanzong, as a generation of kings, could not be unclear about the truth that his heart would be different if he was not of my race.

In that case, what happened back then to make him make such a decision?

Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but turn to Yebai, eager to know the truth about what happened back then.

Looking at my expression, Yebai knew that I had figured it out, but he didn't answer directly, but asked me.

"Han Chuan, what kind of king is Tang Xuanzong in your heart?"

Although I don't know what Yebai meant, since he opened his mouth to ask, I still thought about it carefully and slowly said what I had learned in the book before.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was not only the longest-reigning emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also a very controversial king, and a witness to the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

In the first year of the vertical arch, Li Longji was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital, his life was wise and decisive, when he became an adult, he first joined forces with Princess Taiping to launch a coup d'état in Tanglong, killing the Empress Wei group, and after he ascended the throne, he gave Princess Taiping to death, thus obtaining the supreme right to rule the country.

In addition to the decisive character of Tang Xuanzong, the huge differences he showed before and after his reign are also extremely curious to later historians.

Xuanzong was very effective in politics in the early period, he was diligent in political affairs, consolidated and developed the Li Tang regime from all aspects, he appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing and other virtuous ministers, and worked hard to govern the country, and at the same time rectified the rule of officials, opened up the territory, founded the academy, and created the extremely prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty step by step.

That is the prosperous era of Kaiyuan that countless people are fascinated by.

But in the later period of Tang Xuanzong's reign, it seems that everything has changed.

He began to neglect the government, indulged in pleasures, favored traitors Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, etc., and actually reused An Lushan and other foreign ethnic groups to try to stabilize the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, which eventually led to the Anshi Rebellion that lasted for eight years, laying the groundwork for the gradual decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, Li Tang Jiangshan has been in a slump, although the Anshi Rebellion was quickly quelled, and Li Tang Guozuo was also continued, but it never reappeared in the former Tang Dynasty.

In the end, he abdicated as Emperor Taishang in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, and was succeeded by the crown prince Li Heng, which was later called Tang Suzong.

In the first year of Baoying, Tang Xuanzong died of illness in Chang'an Shenlong Temple, buried in Tailing, the temple name Xuanzong, and because of its nickname for the Great Sage of the Great Ming Emperor, the Qing Dynasty was to avoid the name of Emperor Kangxi Xuanye, so the descendants called it Tang Ming Emperor.

This is how the controversial king ended his life.

This is all the records about Tang Xuanzong in my mind, and after this period of experience, I clearly know that the truth of the matter may not be what is recorded in the history books.

So after I finished talking about Tang Xuanzong in my memory, I looked at Yebai with an inquiring gaze, wanting to know how much truth was in what I said.

"If you look at it from the perspective of the history books, there is nothing wrong with what you just said."

After seeing my inquiring gaze, Yebai nodded nonchalantly and affirmed my opinion.

But I couldn't tell from his expression that he had something to say.

"Since ancient times, the controversy over Tang Xuanzong has been huge, some people think that he is the master of the Tang Dynasty that created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but at the same time, some people think that he is actually the sinner of the ages who made the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline."

Sure enough, after a short pause, Yebai spoke again, and asked us another question with deep meaning.

"In fact, thousands of years have passed, and there are descendants who comment on his merits and demerits, and everyone has their own opinions, so there is no need to force them."

"But have you ever considered why Tang Xuanzong, who was wise and decisive in the early stage and even dared to launch a coup d'état to kill the Wei Hou group, actually became such a snub to the government and indulged in pleasure in the later stage?"

I looked at Yi and I in the face, and it was clear that we could not give a reasonable explanation for this problem.

At this time, Chunting spoke.

After he retrieved his memory, the temperament of the whole person was completely different from before, and he actually exuded a solemn aura from within, even if we were afraid of him now, who we were already familiar with.

That's why we chose to ask Yebai to explore the truth that happened back then, in fact, just because we were a little afraid to get close to the current Spring Pavilion.

But as he spoke, I was relieved, his tone was no different from before, although his temperament had changed, but he was still the Chunting I knew.

Chunting naturally didn't know about this strange thought in my heart, he looked at me and Yihe's blank expressions, and said in a surprising way that pointed our thoughts at a tricky angle.

"You might as well think boldly from another angle, if the wise and decisive Tang Xuanzong in the early stage who single-handedly created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan is not the same person as the Tang Xuanzong who neglected the government and indulged in pleasure in the later period, is all this reasonable?"

Chunting's extremely bold view made me and Yihe dumbfounded.

What does it mean to not be the same person?

Could it be that there were two Tang Xuanzong in the Kaiyuan period?

But calm down and think about it, although Chunting's view is extremely bold, if you think about it from this angle, it can indeed explain why there is such a huge difference between Tang Xuanzong before and after.

But after all, Tang Xuanzong is a generation of kings, and his status is extremely noble, who dares to use such a trick of exchanging a tanuki for a prince?

Between the lightning and flint, my mind suddenly thought of the record left by Zhu Yuanzhang in the underground imperial mausoleum, when the head of Guanshan was named Chang Yuchun, he swept the world for Zhu Yuanzhang and ascended to the throne, but he was willing to go incognito, and finally returned to Guanshan.

Coincidentally, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the head of Guanshan at that time also assumed the pseudonym Li Cunxiao, and he fought for Li Keyong, the king of Jin, to build a mausoleum for him.

And the two people beside me at this moment are the legendary Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang, and the existence of the two of them also confirms the authenticity of the fact that the head of Guanshan helped Li Yuan ascend to the throne.

And since I can be sure that Guan Shan can really influence the changes in the pattern of the world, then the weak water that has been entangled with it for thousands of years must also have such ability.

Yebai had just said that because of Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang's fraudulent death, weak water mistakenly thought that the two had really left Li Tang, so they launched a new round of conspiracy to disrupt Shenzhou.

If these things are linked together, then the truth about Tang Xuanzong's behavior before and after is so abnormal.
