The video connects all worlds, and the top ten emperors are edited at the beginning

"Li Longji was the longest reigning emperor in the Tang Dynasty."

"In August of the first year of Chuigong, Li Longji was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital. He was wise, decisive, and versatile. He was first named King of Chu, and later changed to King of Linzi."

"In June of the first year of Tang Long, Li Longji and Princess Taiping jointly launched the "Tang Long Coup" to kill the Empress Wei Group."

"In the first year of Xiantian, Li Danchan was located in Li Longji, who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor based on Chang'an Taiji Palace."

"Later, Li Longji bestowed upon Princess Taiping to die, and gained the supreme ruling power of the country."

"In the early days of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's reign, he paid attention to ordering out the chaos, appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing and other virtuous ministers, worked hard to rule, and created the heyday of the Tang Dynasty-the Kaiyuan heyday."

"Li Longji attaches great importance to the jurisdiction of the frontier areas. Da Zuorong, who is at the end of the millennium, was granted the title of "Bohai County King", and he established the Bohai Governor's Mansion and the Heishui Governor's Mansion."

"Li Longji named Piluo Pavilion in Nanzhao the king of Yunnan, and Peiluo, the bone strength of Huihe, as "Huiren Khan", which consolidated the unity of the multi-ethnic country."

"However, in the later period of Li Longji's reign, he gradually neglected the government, favored treacherous ministers Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, etc., and favored Concubine Yang."

"Combined with Li Longji's policy mistakes and reuse of An Lushan and other ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, he tried to stabilize the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"As a result, the Anshi Rebellion that lasted eight years later paved the way for the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline."

"In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Prince Li Heng came to the throne and respected Li Longji as the Supreme Emperor."

"In the first year of Baoying, Li Longji died of illness in the Shenlong Temple in Chang'an at the age of 78. He was buried in Jinsu Mountain and was named Tailing."

Tang Xuanzong was a half-light emperor. He once set things right, saved the Tang Dynasty from danger, and created the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age", but he also bred arrogance and viciousness in it.

The traitors Gao Lishi, Li Linfu, and Yang Guozhong he reused were in charge of the court for a long time;

From "Kaiyuan Prosperity" to "Tianbao Rebellion", Tang Xuanzong took a path from prosperity to decline.

The so-called "born in sorrow, died in peace", his life is exactly such a process.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was born at the time when Wu Zetian was in power to be the empress, so he experienced intricate court changes when he was a child, which may have prompted him to form a strong-willed character.

He was very ambitious when he was a child, and he called himself "A Man" in the palace. Although he was not valued by the Wu clan in power, he was still very assertive in his words and deeds.

When he was seven years old, a sacrificial ceremony was held in the court, and the Jinwu General Wu Yizong at that time reprimanded the guards loudly.

Li Longji glared immediately, and shouted: "This is the court of my Li family, what are you doing?! How dare you reprimand my knight guards like this!"

Wu Yizong was dumbfounded looking at the child.

After Wu Zetian learned about it, instead of blaming Li Longji, she liked this young Zhigao grandson very much.

In the second year, Li Longji was named the king of Linzi County.

After Wu Zetian's death, Zhongzong was weak and incompetent, and as a result, the power of the government fell into the hands of Queen Wei and Princess Anle.

Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, the hero who launched the coup to restore the Tang Dynasty, was also demoted and expelled by them, and Prince Li Chongjun was also killed.

Empress Wei followed Wu Zetian's practice and let her elder brother Wei Wen take power. Not only did she not stop her daughter Princess Anle's illegal selling of officials to seek a title, but she condoned it.

In 710 AD, Zhongzong was finally poisoned and killed by empress Wei and Princess Anle.

Then, Queen Wei wanted to learn from her mother-in-law Wu Zetian and be the second queen.

But without waiting for Empress Wei to make a move, Li Longji and his aunt Princess Taiping, who had been watching the changes, launched a mutiny first, leading more than [-] imperial guards to capture the palace, and wiped out all of Empress Wei's faction.

Then, Ruizong Li Dan came to the throne again, and Li Longji was also established as the prince because of his meritorious service.

But Li Dan did not want to have a direct conflict with Princess Taiping, and always tolerated it.

Princess Taiping believed that she had given him the chance to be emperor, and she had made great contributions, so she took control of the political power.

As the power grew stronger, Princess Taiping's ambitions also swelled, and she wanted to be a queen like her mother.

Princess Taiping's main opponent is Prince Li Longji. At first she didn't pay attention to him, thinking that he was too young to accomplish any great things.

But after learning about Li Longji's bravery and decisiveness, he began to guard against him.

She even created public opinion that Li Longji was not the eldest son and was not qualified to be a prince, let alone inherit the throne. The purpose was to abolish Li Longji's status as a prince and pave the way for her to become a female emperor in the future.

After that, Ruizong got tired of being an emperor and gave up the throne to his son Li Longji, but he still controlled the power of the government, the right to appoint and remove officials above the third rank of the court, and the right to make decisions on military and political affairs.

Ruizong's abdication aggravated the conflict between Li Longji and Princess Taiping.

Both sides are accumulating strength and preparing to get rid of each other.

In 713 A.D., Li Longji acted decisively first. He personally led the soldiers and horses to get rid of Princess Taiping and dozens of her subordinates, and dismissed all officials who were inclined to Princess Taiping.

Tang Xuanzong finally grasped the power that the emperor should have. At that time, Tang Xuanzong changed the year name to Kaiyuan, which showed his determination to make great efforts to make great achievements in the Tang Dynasty.

As the current emperor, the most important thing is to manage his country well. Once the emperor succeeds to the throne, he will introduce new measures of his own, and the same is true for Li Longji.

But some of his actions are extraordinary and worthy of emulation by future emperors.

Tang Xuanzong first rectified the administration of officials, mainly to improve the efficiency of the bureaucracy.He also took many effective measures for this.

The first is to streamline the organization, cut redundant officials, and abolish many useless officials since Wu Zetian, which not only improves efficiency, but also saves government expenditures.

He also established a strict assessment system and strengthened the management of local officials.

The second is to restore the system of admonishers and historians participating in the prime minister's meeting.

He also attached great importance to the appointment and removal of county magistrates.

Tang Xuanzong believed that county officials were at the forefront of national governance, dealing directly with the people and representing the image of the country.

Therefore, Xuanzong often personally tested the county magistrates with questions to know exactly whether they were really competent.

If the exam is excellent, you can be promoted immediately, if you don't live up to the name, you will be dismissed immediately.

Although Tang Xuanzong completely consolidated the imperial power after eliminating Princess Taiping, the situation at that time was not optimistic.

The mutiny greatly hurt the vitality of the imperial court, and the officials were chaotic and corrupt, which urgently needed to be dealt with.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said that he should be appointed as an official according to his ability, and that he should be promoted to be a prime minister.

In this regard, Tang Xuanzong still has Bole's vision.

He appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling, all of whom were prime ministers and famous ministers during the Tang Xuanzong period.

Yao Chong acted resolutely. Because he put forward ten suggestions to Tang Xuanzong, he was highly regarded and became prime minister.

Yao Chong didn't take care of even the royal relatives.
