Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 316 The Anshi Rebellion
For some reason, Yang Guang yearns for this kind of life.

He feels that this is the joy of being an emperor!

[But Xuanzong was unaware of the hidden crisis, allowing the court to be controlled by traitors, and the dark and turbulent political situation hindered the generals' desire to increase their ranks]

[In order to obtain rewards for military exploits, the generals began to be arrogant and domineering/provoking borders, and launched wars with the approval of Xuanzong]

[The stability of the border was broken, and the war caused the death and injury of 20 Tang soldiers successively]

[The war not only destroyed the friendly relations with Tubo, Nanzhao and other countries]

[At the same time, it also exposed the corruption and turmoil in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a crisis of vacant troops]

These words, like sharp arrows, pierced into Li Longji's chest, making him pale little by little.

He can still prevaricate those things before, and reluctantly bear them.

As long as the country is not in chaos, with his means, it can be restored in a few years by appointing virtuous people.

But now...

He smelled something bad!
Internal corruption!

The border is provoking conflicts again!
and…

It also leads to a vacancy in troops!
don't think about it...

What was to happen next was bound to be rebellion.

Tibet…

Turkic…

Huihe!

Khitan...

None of these are easy to get along with, if he doesn't take advantage of the fire, he will feel that the other party's head is abnormal!

He is distraught!
As for Li Shimin...

He was so angry that he didn't want to watch it.

With his majesty, he knew too well what would happen next.

Don't say that the surrounding forces will take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Even those military generals in the country can't keep themselves safe.

joke!

Owns two to three towns of land, and also holds the power of life and death in the territory.

The central government is dead, isn't this the best time for the Qing emperor to control the situation!

The edict is not named, the praise is not named, the imperial court is not followed, the sword is on the palace, the emperor is manipulated, and the empire is controlled, who would not want this?

When the power is stable, add Jiuxi and ascend the throne.

Beautiful!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart is bleeding!

[In the winter of the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan, the governor of the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong, united with Luo, Xi, Khitan, Shiwei, Turkic and other ethnic groups with a total of 15 troops]

[Take advantage of the vacancy of the country's military force, raise troops in Fanyang on the grounds of 'worry about the danger of the country, follow the imperial edict to punish traitors']

[At the time of peace, the people do not know war, military affairs are slack, and the counties and counties north of the Yellow River are watching the wind and surrendering]

"As expected!"

Li Shimin sighed, his expression could not bear it.

A weak central government will inevitably lead to disasters from the surrounding areas.

This is what normal ambitious people do.

It is suffering for the people of Limin!

[At the beginning of Tianbao's 15th year, Luoyang, the eastern capital, fell]

[The central army, which is corrupt, poorly trained, and lacking in numbers, is unable to resist the powerful army of feudal towns]

[The defender Ge Shuhan, who defended Tongguan, the last line of defense, was ordered in the face of danger, and improvised an army of 20 to prepare to resist the rebels]

[However, when the morale of the army was unstable and the battle was low, Xuanzong still listened to the slander of his favorite minister Yang Guozhong, worried that Ge Shuhan would support his troops and force him to send troops, resulting in defeat and capture]

[In June, the capital Chang'an fell, and Xuanzong took his ministers and fled in a hurry before the fall]

boom!
Seeing that Chang'an has fallen...

Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore, his face turned livid, he gritted his teeth and looked at Li Longji, "It's really good that you are the emperor, the capital of the country has been captured!"

"Shame, great shame!!!"

Li Shimin had never been so angry before.

But this time...

He really couldn't hold back his anger.

That's the capital...

It took less than a year for the rebellion to break through, how incompetent is this?

Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty of other people's later generations dragged the Song Army in the capital for a year.

You Tang Xuanzong sits on such a big empire.

In about six months, the capital fell.

How stupid and incompetent it is to do it!

Facing Li Shimin's roar, Li Longji was even more confused.

Can't believe I'm so stupid!
In six months, he was sent from the border to Chang'an by a Jiedu envoy, and fled in a hurry.

What a waste!
among other things...

As for the mistake of the fall of Chang'an, no matter how many achievements he has made before, it cannot be made up for.

The mistake of falling to the capital will inevitably nail him to the pillar of shame and leave him with a bad reputation for thousands of years.

[When traveling to Maweipo, the already highly dissatisfied soldiers mutinied and forced Xuanzong to kill the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong, hanged Yang Yuhuan, the disaster water, and fled to Chengdu]

[Prince Li Heng fled to Lingwu, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was Emperor Suzong, and his reign title was Zhide]

[Suzong conscripted more than ten thousand elite soldiers from the towns of Hexi and Anxi, and then transferred back Shuofang Jiedushi Guo Ziyi and Hebei Jiedushi Li Guangbi with a total of [-] troops. He reappointed court officials and generals, and established a new military system. Make a comprehensive deployment against the rebels]

[In the second year of Zhide, An Lushan was killed by his son, the rebels were in civil strife, Xuanzong returned from Chengdu, and he no longer cares about world affairs, he is the Supreme Emperor]

[In the first year of Baode, he died in depression at the age of 78]

Seeing that he died at the age of 78, Li Longji's eyes widened openly.

Today is the first year of Tianbao, and he is 57 years old.

That is to say!

If nothing changes, he will be dead in 21 years.

14 years later, the Anshi Rebellion will break out.

Thinking of this, his cold sweat broke out.

"Wait, isn't Suzong Li Heng's reign a bit too short?"

Li Shimin paid attention to Li Heng.

With all his efforts and calculations, he only served as emperor for seven years from the time he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor to his death.

"Seven years is not too short, you know, there are still many emperors who haven't been in half a year!"

At this moment…

Qianlong ran out, looking like Li Shimin was making a fuss.

Li Shimin sneered when he heard the words: "Then I wish your son will be in power for an hour, okay?"

Qianlong stopped talking immediately.

[There are many reasons for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion]

[Economically, the high-level people are extravagant and profligate, and wasteful, but the people at the bottom are poor and unable to make ends meet, and have lost their trust in the imperial court]

【Politically, Xuanzong favored traitors and sycophants, allowing them to eliminate dissidents and control the government, causing ministers within the court to compete for power and profit with each other, fierce struggles, and constant rifts】

[Military, giving local Jiedu envoys too much power, while ignoring the maintenance of the central combat power, resulting in internal lightness and external weight]

[After this chaos, the population of the Tang Dynasty lost a lot, and the national power declined sharply, from then on it went from prosperity to decline]

[The surrounding separatist forces are also eyeing, which will cause continuous wars in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the people's lives will become more and more impoverished]

"This…"

Looking at these few lines, Li Longji's face became even paler.

He clearly understood how big a mistake this was.

Directly because he led to a strong country, it became weak.

He can't bear such a crime.

No matter how great his achievements are, he will be pressed on the pillar of shame, and his stigma will never be washed away.

His head was covered with cold sweat and his body was shaking.
