I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【During the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was strong in all aspects. No matter it was political, economic, military, or cultural, it had no shortcomings in any aspect. It was a"quadrilateral warrior""】

【Therefore, some people even believe that the Tang Dynasty during the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty was the most glorious era in Chinese feudal history, and the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty was also the peak of Chinese feudal society.】

"This is a bit exaggerated. In ancient times, the prosperous age must be the prosperous age, but to say that the most powerful prosperous age is a bit too high."

"If Kaiyuan Shengshi is not the strongest, can you find someone stronger than it?"

"I think the Kaiyuan era was indeed the highest peak of China. From politics, economy and military to people's livelihood and culture, if viewed horizontally in ancient Chinese history, it is unique.-"

"It cannot be said that the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was not the result of Li Longji alone, but the accumulation of several generations since the rule of Zhenguan, which pushed the national power of the Tang Dynasty to its peak."

"The prosperous age of Kaiyuan was actually the result of the rule of Zhenguan, the rule of Yongwei, and the rule of Kaiyuan."

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. When

Li Shimin saw these barrages, he nodded in approval.

The great success he achieved in the prosperous age of Kaiyuan was also based on his rule of Zhenguan.

The plane of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji laughed loudly. :

"Hahaha, have you all seen it?"

"Later generations not only believed that the Tang Dynasty at this moment was the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, but also rated it as the most powerful and prosperous age in the history of Chinese dynasties!"

He was in an extremely happy mood at the moment.

Such comments from future generations, in his opinion, were undoubtedly his greatest recognition.

Even for a moment, he felt that his achievements had surpassed those of his ancestor, His Majesty Taizong.

Zhongshu Ling (right) Prime Minister Li Linfu immediately stood up and said loudly:

"This is all your Majesty’s credit!"

"It was His Majesty's wisdom, prowess, and hard work that enabled the Tang Dynasty to create such a prosperous age that far surpassed Zhenguan."

"Everyone, raise a glass together to congratulate His Majesty!"

Li Linfu raised his wine glass

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

All the ministers in the palace stood up one after another and raised their glasses to congratulate Li Longji.

Seeing this, the joy on Li Longji's face became even stronger.

In other dynasties and major planes, many emperors said that the Kaiyuan era was the most powerful era. , do not agree.

Liu Che: The most powerful and prosperous age is my Han Dynasty.

Yang Jian: My Sui Dynasty is not weaker than Li Longji's Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Di: The Ming Dynasty under my rule is the most powerful and prosperous age.

More...

Being Emperor People, especially the heroes, are people who have full confidence in themselves and will not be easily convinced.

At this time, on the giant screen, the fate of the Tang Dynasty began to turn.

【After spending an almost perfect first half of his life, Li Longji ushered in the second half of his life】

【And this was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline.】

【After creating the amazing Kaiyuan era, Li Longji gradually became satisfied and indulged in pleasure, without the previous spirit of hard work and frugality.】

【After the change of mentality, starting from the late Kaiyuan period, Li Longji began to slip from a wise king to a faint king.】

"Alas, the gears of fate began to turn, and Li Longji reset"

"In the first half of his life and the second half of his life, Li Longji felt like he was a different person."

"Li Longji’s series of operations that make people suffer from cerebral hemorrhage are coming"

"……"

The plane of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji looked at the giant screen and felt incredible.

Isn't this turn of events too sudden?

Just now, he was counting his achievements and praising the"Kaiyuan Age" as the most powerful age in the history of Chinese dynasties. Why did his evaluation of him suddenly turn into a coward?

I'm afraid Li Longji himself couldn't have imagined that the turning point in his life would be even greater than what the giant screen said.

The turning point in Datang's fate was completely unexpected by him.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes sternly stared at the giant screen.

【In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan (737), Li Longji deposed his three sons Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju as common people and killed them because of his slanderous concubine Wu Hui.】

"Come, come, the famous historical scene is here, kill three kings in one day"

"Li Longji has shown his mediocrity"

"It's so cruel. It's hard to imagine that he would kill three sons at once. It's so cold-blooded."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Anger appeared on Li Shimin's face.

Killing three sons in a row, this Li Longji is really vicious!

The plane of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji couldn't help feeling more angry when he saw the curses directed at him on the barrage.

What do these people of later generations know?

The Tian family is ruthless, and those traitors are trying to lead troops to rebel. Can he still keep them?

Li Longji does not think he did anything wrong.

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Although he had known about this matter from history books, he heard it again here that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scolded Li Longji:

"Even if tiger poison doesn't eat its children, this Li Longji is truly unworthy of being a father."

He valued family affection the most in his life and hated this kind of killing of his son.

In other dynasties, whether it was the ancients who didn't know about it before or the ancients who knew about it from history books, many people expressed disapproval of Li Longji. expressed disdain

【In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji took a fancy to his son Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of King Shou Li Xuan, and ordered her to become a female Taoist priest.】

【In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Li Longji issued an edict to return Yang Yuhuan to the secular world, join the palace, and officially canonize her as a noble concubine.】

"Stealing his son's wife, Li Longji is so 6"

"It can only be said that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was really chaotic. Li Er robbed his brother's wife, and Li Longji was even more heavyweight, robbing his own son's wife."

"Don’t forget, there is also Li Zhi who stole his own father’s wife"

"It's so messy, one is really 6 more than the other"

"This is true love, daring to risk the disapproval of the world, haha"

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was angry and kicked Li Zhi again

"Look at the good things your grandson has done!"

"He even stole his own son's concubine, how shameless!"

Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Li Zhi was wronged, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only admit it silently.

In the Xuanzong plane of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji and Concubine Yang next to him both looked embarrassed.

But the ministers in the palace did not dare to Raise your head, don't dare to say too much.

Don't mention this matter

【After entering the Tianbao period, Li Longji became more and more arrogant and extravagant, and gave countless rewards to the harem.】

【Not only that, Li Longji no longer paid attention to the affairs of the government, allowing Prime Minister Li Linfu to control the government.】

【Li Linfu was a man with"honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly". He would do everything possible to get rid of anyone who was more talented than him and valued by the emperor.】

【He is jealous of learned people. He is friendly to learned people on the surface, but secretly plots against them.】

【He bribed people around Li Longji, so that he controlled every move of the emperor. In this way, he can take various measures at any time to cater to Li Longji's needs】

【Since Li Longji ignored political affairs, Li Linfu's overt and covert methods could be used, and everyone in the court was under his control.】

"thump!"

In the plane of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu, dripping with cold sweat, suddenly fell to his knees, kowtowed to Li Longji and said:

"Your Majesty, what an injustice!"

"I will never dare to spy on His Majesty's actions. This future generation must have misunderstood me."

He didn't explain at all the matter of talking sweethearts and hiding swords. That was not the point.

He knew that what Li Longji would care about was his bribery of the people around Li Longji.

This is what the emperor hates the most!

It is also the most intolerable thing!

If it is In the Tang Dynasty, someone reported him like this, and he would not panic at all.

However, this was said by people from later generations thousands of years later, and he panicked in his heart.

Li Longji's face was gloomy, and he did not comment on Li Linfu's excuse, but continued to read Behind the giant screen, Li Linfu was allowed to kneel on the ground.

【During Li Linfu's control of the government, he eliminated dissidents, reused Tibetan generals, and continued to delegate power to Jiedushi, allowing them to control the military, government, and finance within their jurisdiction.】

【In the eleventh year of Tianbao (752), Li Linfu died of illness. Soon after, Yang Guozhong paid homage to the Prime Minister】

【This man is Yang Guifei's brother. He is from a rogue background. He has great ambitions and little talent, and is completely incapable of being a prime minister.】

"To be honest, Li Linfu had talent but no virtue, and could at least maintain the situation of the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Guozhong had no talent and no virtue, and was a complete waste"

"Yang Guozhong is more than just trash, he is simply trash. Without his amazing operation, An Lushan would not have been able to protect himself so quickly."

"This guy is good for nothing, he's just a loser."

"……"

In the dimension of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong looked at the contempt and curses directed at him on the giant screen, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

【Under Yang Guozhong's dictatorship, the entire Tang Dynasty began to fall into chaos. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【But Li Longji had no intention of changing his ways and was still addicted to wine and sex.】

【Faced with the advice of upright ministers, he remained indifferent. 】

On the giant screen, a video began to play.

An old minister with a white beard knelt on the ground, his expression extremely excited, and shouted to Li Longji at the top of his lungs:

"Saburo, what's wrong with you? Are you old, Saburo?"[]

"You have to set goals for yourself and do what an emperor should do every day"

"Otherwise, you are not worthy of sitting on the dragon throne!"

"You are no one else, you are an emperor who has made great achievements!"

"You are the saint whom I will admire all my life!"

"We want twenty-five-year-old Saburo back!"

"Future generations will remember that the glorious Tang Dynasty declined because of you, Saburo!"

The white-bearded old minister was shaking all over and was extremely emotional.

In contrast, in front of the white-bearded old minister, Li Longji, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, looked indifferent.

……

Although the emperors of all dynasties now know that this is the so-called film and television scene of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations, they were still moved by the performance of this veteran. (Insert, the performance of Chang'an's Twelve Hours is really good.)

Ying Zheng:"This is a truly loyal minister."

Liu Che:"It is a blessing for the emperor to have such a minister who is sincerely serving the country."

Zhu Yuanzhang:"Hey, It's a pity that such a loyal minister met a fatuous emperor."

More:... the plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the giant screen, his face already as dark as water.

Such kind words and direct advice could not even move Li Longji, which shows how stupid Li Longji is.

"Why does the same person change so much?"

Li Shimin was very confused.

How wise Li Longji was in the first half of his life, but how stupid he was in the second half of his life.

The plane of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji paused for a moment with the wine glass in his hand.

"Am I really wrong?"

"No! I'm right!"

"I worked hard to create the unprecedented prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. Now I just want to enjoy it. What's wrong?"

"Even if I slack off a little bit, the Tang Dynasty is still strong. I want to see how the Tang Dynasty can decline? Where is the decline?"

Li Longji said to himself in his heart, and raised his head and continued to look at the giant screen high in the sky.

【November of the 14th year of Tianbao】

【An Lushan, who served as the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, took advantage of the internal political corruption of the Tang Dynasty and the military shortage, and united with Luo, Xi, Khitan, Shiwei, Turk and other ethnic groups to form a total of 150,000 soldiers, known as 200,000. On the pretext of"worrying about the danger of the country" and following a secret edict to attack Yang Guozhong, they rebelled in Fanyang.】

【This was the"Anshi Rebellion" known as the bloodiest rebellion in Chinese history. It was also the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline!】

"Will An Lushan rebel?"

Li Longji was shocked.

That fat, fat, and good-dancing barbarian would rebel?

How is it possible? Does he have such courage?

【In December of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Anlushan's army invaded Luoyang. Anxi Jiedu envoys Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, who had retreated to Tongguan, went on the defensive and held on to Tongguan.】

【Li Longji listened to the false accusations made by the eunuchs who were in charge of the army, and had Chang Qing and Gao Xianzhi executed for the crime of"losing their law and losing their masters".】

【After that, Li Longji appointed Ge Shuhan, the military governor of Longyou who was ill at home, to serve as the commander-in-chief.Deputy Marshal Ma ordered him to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Tongguan.】

【Tongguan's terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. After Ge Shuhan entered Tongguan, he immediately strengthened the city defenses, built deep ditches and high fortresses, and stayed in seclusion. An Lushan's army could not advance even an inch】

【Prime Minister Yang Guozhong suspected that Ge Shuhan was seeking personal gain and slandered him in front of Li Longji. Li Longji was gullible and sent envoys to urge Shu Han to fight. Ge Shuhan was forced to have no choice but to cry.】

【Ge Shuhan led his army into battle and was defeated, and Tongguan fell.】

"Hey, without Li Longji's micro-management, the situation in Datang would not have become so bad."

"As long as they hold on for a while, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi will reach An Lushan's lair. An Lushan has no other choice but to retreat."

"As long as we stick to Tongguan and don't leave, the Anshi Rebellion will soon be put down and the harm will not be so great."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty

"Incompetent trash!"

Li Shimin was extremely angry.

He knew very well that once Tongguan was broken, Chang'an would be unsafe.

In such an important matter, Li Longji could make mistakes again and again. He can only be said to be a waste.

The plane of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji was completely stunned.

He never expected that the rebellion would be so serious

【The Anshi rebels approached Chang'an, and Li Longji fled with his harem and royal family under the protection of the army.】

【Arriving at Maweipo, the soldiers of the Sixth Army finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched a mutiny to kill Yang Guozhong and others. Gao Lishi and others hanged Yang Guifei.】

"ah!"

In the plane of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei's faces turned extremely pale instantly.

They did not expect that they would end up like this.

【Chang'an fell, the emperor and his princes fled, and the Anshi Rebellion reached its peak.】

【Prince Li Heng was promoted to the throne by Shuofang generals in Lingwu in 756 AD and ascended the throne on his own initiative. He made Xuanzong the Supreme Emperor from afar and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Zhide, which was Suzong of the Tang Dynasty.】

【After that, there was an eight-year counter-insurgency war.】

【It was not until 763 that the Anshi Rebellion came to an end.】

【This long-term nationwide rebellion not only completely destroyed the Tang Dynasty's finance and economy, but also caused horrific losses in the population. Nearly two-thirds of the Tang people died in this civil war. Therefore, the Anshi Rebellion is also considered to be the catastrophe of China. The bloodiest rebellion in history】

【After this rebellion, the population of the Tang Dynasty was cut off, thousands of miles of depression, and the financial and economic system completely collapsed.】

【From then on, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.】

【On May 3, 762, Li Longji passed away at the age of 78.】

"A short life is a wise king, a long life is a foolish king"

"The Tang Dynasty was really in ruins in his hands. He allowed the Jiedushi to become powerful, the relatives to have exclusive power, and the eunuchs to interfere in politics. As long as he did some personnel affairs in the later period, China would not have been in chaos for hundreds of years."

"The separatist regime of the feudal towns was indeed a minefield planted by him."

"It was too powerful in the early stage, but fell flat in the later stage."

"If he had died earlier, he would have basically been second to none among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was furious:

"Damn thing! He is the eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What a bastard!"

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

Li Shimin kept roaring.

The Tang Dynasty, which he had worked so hard to govern, declined in such a sudden way, which was really hard for him to accept. Seeing this, Li Zhi quietly moved a little farther away from Li Shimin.

At this time, his face was gloomy. , the mediocre performance of his grandson in the later period of his reign was no less than that of the famous fatuous kings in the history books.

Watching the Tang Dynasty from its prosperity to its decline in front of the giant screen made him extremely sad.
