Chapter 61: Faint King, Tyrant, Capable King

[In the Anshi Rebellion, the rebels drove straight into the Tang capital Chang'an.

Before the fall of Chang'an, Li Longji fled in panic. When he arrived at Maweipo, the accompanying soldiers mutinied, killed Yang Guozhong, and forced Li Longji to hang Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji finally fled to Chengdu, and ended his own 'legend' with tragedy. 】

Yang Jian said thoughtfully: "Tang Xuanzong, this is a typical beginning, a dragon, and a worm at the end, but I didn't expect the 'Anshi Rebellion' to have such a big impact on our subsequent dynasty." ”

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and muttered: "No wonder I can't get used to those people of foreign races, it turns out that the crux of the problem is here!" ”

Zhu Di was slightly excited in his heart: "This once again shows that my choice is correct, it is indeed not advisable to close off the country, and when it is time to go to the sea, you have to go to the sea decisively!" ”

"I, the Qing Dynasty, have brought the entire Chinese civilization to a standstill?" Xuan Ye slowly clenched his fists.

Although he was a Manchu, he tried his best to promote equality and integration between the Manchus and Hans, because he knew that it was impossible to sit firmly in this vast country by only selecting people from one clan as officials.

In fact, the further back the Qing Dynasty went, the more imprisoned their thinking became.

Some people even say that the Qing Dynasty was the only dynasty that did not have outstanding thinkers and scientists.

This can be clearly seen from the behavior of Kangxi, Qianlong, and Cixi in refusing to exchange ideas and academics with foreign countries and ignoring advanced science and technology at home and abroad.

[Actually, during the Li Longji period, there were not many virtuous ministers and good generals.

The text includes Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu and others; There are generals such as Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Guo Ziyi.

It's a pity that he doesn't know how to use people, and after listening to too much outspoken advice, he finally fell in love with Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others, who were obedient to him and spoke very well, and he also commanded indiscriminately in the military, which caused the Anshi Rebellion to break out, and the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and collapsed! 】

[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ranks eighth among the top ten mediocre emperors in history, and he deserves his name! ] 】

After reading Li Longji's inventory, Zhang Shuo, as the current prime minister, fell silent and was silent for a long time. Su Qian said that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed in the hands of Li Longji and a group of traitors, which made his heart begin to drip unstoppable.

Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang said that they would not talk about it, they had already been prime ministers and were famous all over the world.

Other celebrities who have not yet been fully revealed, such as the "future prime minister" Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu and other literati, as well as Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi and others, who are known as the twin walls of the empire, became famous for a while.

Their names were seen and remembered by everyone, and at the same time, they all secretly said: "These people are going to soar!" ”

And the traitors Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, who have been named many times, may be a terrible reckoning waiting for them.

Tang Xuanzong had calmed down at the moment.

For him now, no matter how bad it has been in history or in the future, at least he is still a wise monarch now.

Li Longji was actually very powerful when he was young,

He was born on the fifth day of August in the first year of the vertical arch, and was the third son of Li Dan, the prime minister, when Li Dan was pushed to the position of puppet emperor by Wu Zetian.

Later, when Li Longji was six years old, Wu Zetian replaced Tang with Zhou, and Li Dan was demoted to the title of prime minister and was closely supervised.

At that time, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Li Longji, the prince of concubines, would become the emperor in the future.

On July 21 of the first year of Tang Long, that is, the eighteenth day after the death of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Li Longji led people to enter the palace through the forbidden garden to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.

Empress Wei, Princess An Le, and all the core figures of the "Houdang" group were all killed at the first time. History refers to this coup d'Γ©tat as the "Tanglong Coup".

It is worth mentioning that from the planning to the action, Li Longji's father, Li Dan, did not know about it.

Because Li Longji knew that his father was indifferent to fame and fortune, if he told him in advance, not only would it be useless, but he might also be tied.

After the success of the "Tanglong Coup", Li Dan was reinstated as emperor.

Li Longji made a decision, so although he was a concubine, he was undisputed as the crown prince.

Two years later, Tang Ruizong Li Dan announced that Chan was located in the crown prince Li Longji.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has entered the Kaiyuan era.

"It's only the tenth year of Kaiyuan. I am still a hard-working, wise and resolute emperor! Li Longji quickly cheered up, he gritted his teeth and swore fiercely: "I will not forget today's shame, and I will definitely create a more powerful and strong Tang Dynasty!! ”

"This kid also started to make muddy mistakes in his later years, and now it seems that he is still saved" Li Shimin secretly calculated in his heart: "If necessary, I can also use the "Pure Heart Mantra" for him, as long as he doesn't commit muddy, my Datang will at least not be terminated in this humiliating way." ”

After taking stock of Li Longji, it was the turn of the next seventh-ranked brother.

Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the light curtain, waiting for the next "faint king" to appear!

The next countee will soon appear,

[The seventh of the top ten mediocre emperors in history: Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui! ] 】

"I'm a faint king?! Hmph, I think you Su Qian is a pedantic person! Yang Guang scolded Su Qian in his mouth, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, "It's okay that it's only seventh, otherwise I might be beaten to death by my father." ”

The background music is sad, and at the same time, a poem from Li Shangyin's satirical Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty also appeared on the screen.

[The Purple Spring Palace locks the smoke and wants to take Wucheng as the emperor's home. 】

[The jade seal is not destined to return to the corner of the sun, and the brocade sail should be to the end of the world. 】

[In today's rotten grass there is no fire, and there are crows in the weeping poplars in ancient times. 】

[If you meet the queen of Chen underground, it is not appropriate to ask the backyard flowers again. 】

This poem is a satire of Li Shangyin's behavior of Emperor Yang of Sui's behavior of being poor and extravagant, making all kinds of unethical deeds when he was an official in Yangzhou in his later years.

Yang Guang saw this poem that satirized him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Who is Li Shangyin?" Don't be a character from the same period as me, otherwise. Hum! ”

[Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is undoubtedly a faint monarch. 】

[But from a more accurate point of view, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, is a tyrant who has both ideas and abilities, the Dusk Monarch! 】

Su Qian's seemingly contradictory description succeeded in arousing people's curiosity.

[When Emperor Yang of Sui "took over" the throne from his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, he got a great Sui dynasty that was politically unified and economically rich. It was on this strong foundation that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty began to want to establish his own unique achievements. 】

["Yang" is the nickname given to Yang Guang by the Tang Dynasty, and later generations criticized Emperor Yang of Sui, mostly criticizing him for "pretentiousness, conspiracy to seize the heir, killing his father and slaughtering his brother, arrogance and lasciviousness, laboring the people and hurting money, abusing the people's strength, rejoicing in great achievements, and abusing authority". 】

[At the same time, in various literature and operas, later generations exaggerated and distorted the image of Emperor Yang of Sui, and devoted themselves to shaping Emperor Yang of Sui into a business-style image of "abusing the people against the sky" and "hungry ghosts in color", so that it is highly in line with the nickname of "Yang". 】

Yang Guang: "."

Li Shimin: "Ahem."
