"Since Tang Taizong, later emperors have learned a bad style, that is, they like wives."

Cao Cao: Tell me about it, I like this.

Li Shimin lived firmly above the high hall, and had a bad premonition, Miss Zhang would not talk about this matter as well.

There is a story recorded in the history books, saying that when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, he was a guest at Li Yuanji's house, and Li Yuanji invited his brother Li Shimin to a banquet. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, his younger brother Li Yuanji found that Li Shimin was distracted, and it turned out that Li Shimin was staring at the Yang family next to Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji hurriedly called his brother, and Li Shimin came back to his senses. ”

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, Tang Taizong Li Shimin welcomed his younger brother's wife into the palace for his own use, canonized as Concubine Yang, when Yang entered the Taizong Palace from the Qi Palace, Li Shimin was very happy, and treated Yang is also true feelings, when the favored Yang gave birth to a son, Li Shimin put the title of King Cao on his body. Later, Taizong's feelings for the Yang family were sublimated, and he wanted to make the Yang family the head of the harem and let his mother honor the world. ”

But he was persuaded by his bronze mirror Wei Zheng's kind words. You are Mingjun, how can you let your brother's wife and concubine become the mother of the Tang Dynasty? When Li Shimin learned that he realized that he was inappropriate, he dispelled this idea. Regarding Li Shimin's black history, in the pen of Cai Dongfan, a historian during the Republic of China, he once commented that heroes love the beauty of the country, which is understandable, even if it is beautiful and moving, but he is married to his younger brother, how can he seize it, ordinary people will not do this, let alone the royal family. Taizong's approach is shameless and absurd. ”

Li Shimin: ......

"This is a good start for Tang Taizong, a dynasty with chaos in the backyard, after the death of Tang Taizong, Li Zhi succeeded to the throne."

"Wu Meiniang, the talented person of Tang Taizong, the queen of Tang Gaozong, and the female emperor Wu Zetian of later generations. Tang Taizong Li Shimin heard that Wu Meiniang had a beautiful appearance and demeanor, summoned her to the palace, and was named a five-grade talent, given the name "Wu Mei", and later generations falsely called Wu Meiniang. But Wu Meiniang was not favored by Li Shimin, and she has been a talented person for 12 years, but her status has never been improved. But during Li Shimin's serious illness, Wu Zetian and the crown prince Li Zhi began to establish a relationship. ”

"Why is Wu Meiniang still a talented person for more than ten years, because there was a proverb called the female martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang just responded to the prophecy, Li Shimin was also afraid of his Tang Dynasty displacement, and when he died, he asked Wu Meiniang to go to Ganye Temple to become a nun."

In May of the first year of Yonghui, Li Zhi entered the Ganye Temple to commemorate the anniversary of Li Shimin's death, and met Wu Zetian. The two recognized each other and told each other about their longing after parting. Empress Wang, who fell out of favor because she had no children, saw it in her eyes, so she took the initiative to ask Li Zhi to include Wu Zetian in the palace, in an attempt to hit her rival Concubine Xiao Shu. Li Zhi had already had this intention and immediately agreed. In May of the second year of Yonghui, Li Zhi's filial piety period expired, and Wu Zetian entered the palace again. ”

Tang Gaozong was also a figure who was underestimated by later generations, and his merits should not be underestimated, but Li Zhi's body limited him, and in 659 he began to be sick from time to time because the emperor needed someone to assist in handling court affairs. So who is suitable?

Normally, it should be the crown prince, but it is unrealistic for the prince Li Hong to be only seven or eight years old. The other courtiers, Li Zhixin, didn't dare, and it was just right to look at the Empress Wu with their eyes full of eyes.

So Empress Wu, who was in her thirties, came to the front desk and began to deal with some daily government affairs. Slowly, the queen became more and more skilled in handling court affairs, and the emperor slowly became relieved. ”

Wu Meiniang is quite talented in politics and governance, and at that time he and Tang Gaozong called "the two saints in the dynasty." "As for the specific content, I will talk about it later, and now I will only talk about the chaos of the Tang Dynasty."

"Why is this chaotic Tang Taizong Li Shimin made a good start, the brother took the younger brother's wife, the son took the father's wife, and when it came to the Tang Xuanzong we are talking about, the father took the son and wife."

"His son Shouwang Li Xuan, married the beauty Yang Yuhuan as the princess of Shou, and was taken by Li Longji, and tried every means to snatch it from his son's hand and accept it as his concubine, Yang Yuhuan, who became the famous Yang Guifei in later generations!"

Cao Cao: Exciting! It's more fun than I am.

Zhang Fei: It's so messy, how should you call it?

Qin Shi Huang: ......

Liu Che: ......

Liu Bang: Zhang Fei, you asked this question well, haha! That's nice!

Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Li Longji are all black lines on their faces, and they all know their preferences.

Li Shimin: Miss Zhang, after talking about this affair, isn't it time to talk about the good things that Li Longji has done.

In the early period of Tang Xuanzong, he worked hard to govern the country, appointed virtuous and virtuous, and created a very prosperous era of the Tang Empire, known as the "prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty" in history, with the country and the people being safe and the frontier stable. However, in the later period, he gradually neglected his government, favored traitorous ministers, and made policy mistakes, which made the festival bigger, leading to a situation of internal and external importance, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Empire turned from prosperity to decline. ”

"The Anshi Rebellion was a war launched by Tang Dynasty generals An Lushan and Shi Siming after betraying the Tang Dynasty from the end of Xuanzong to the early years of Daizong. This civil war caused a large loss of population and a sharp decline in the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. Because the commanders who launched the anti-Tang rebellion were mainly An Lushan and Shi Siming, the incident was named Anshi, and the impact of the Anshi Rebellion was too bad, which indirectly led to the great division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and even in later generations, it also led to great changes in the politics of the entire Asian region. ”

"In the late reign of Kaiyuan, after a long period of peace, the country was fine, and Tang Xuanzong gradually lost the spirit of seeking governance upward. After Tang Xuanzong changed Yuan Tianbao, politics became more and more corrupt. Tang Xuanzong was even more indulged in pleasure and pampered Yang Guifei, and An Lushan worshipped Yang Guifei as his mother for self-protection and promotion. ”

He also handed over the state affairs to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. Li Linfu is the prime minister of the honey-bellied sword, and he relied on the trust of Xuanzong to do things for 19 years during his tenure, putting an end to words and rejecting loyalty. Yang Guozhong succeeded Li Linfu as prime minister because Yang Guifei was favored, but he only knew how to loot the people's wealth, so that the group was in charge, the state affairs were in trouble, and the government was corrupt, so that An Lushan had a chance. ”

An Lushan and the three major military towns are in charge of the army, of which the elite Tang Dynasty regular army has reached 150,000, supporting the border, and its subordinates are brave and good at fighting, and they are very favored by Xuanzong, which has attracted the jealousy of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong. As a result, the two became enemies, and Tang Xuanzong did not interfere in this. An Lushan has long harbored different ambitions, coupled with heavy troops, intending to raise troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty in the name of begging. ”

"From the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong has lived an indulgent life all day long, Yang Guifei's family is overwhelming, squandering at will, the palace has seven hundred craftsmen who embroider brocade for the Guifei Academy, and the three sisters of Yang Guifei have millions of fat powder money every year."
