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

Li Longji's lack of political affairs and indulging in wine and sex actually started before he met Concubine Yang.

Long before Concubine Yang, Li Longji's harem already had Concubine Wu Hui, who was a favorite concubine. Even under Concubine Wu Hui's intentional instigation, Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju were deposed as common people and killed.

Concubine Wu Hui died of fear shortly after the killing of the three kings. It was after the death of Concubine Wu Hui that Tang Xuanzong brought Concubine Yang Gui, who was already a daughter-in-law, into the harem after others spoke.

Since Tang Xuanzong was indulging in pleasure, it was inevitable that he would be slack in the government, which would make the government chaotic.

First of all, Li Linfu, who was good at trying to figure out the emperor's mind, began to be deeply favored, which not only led to the dismissal of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, but also promoted cronies and attacked dissidents after he took power.

Later, due to the relationship of Concubine Yang, Yang Guozhong won the favor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. As a result, Yang Guozhong also lost his power to the country and corrupted the court.

It can be said that Li Longji, who created the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan", can be called a generation of wise emperors, but since then he has been no different from a faint emperor.

As a result, the government was extremely chaotic, which laid a huge hidden danger for the subsequent turmoil. An Lushan formally used his excellent acting skills and bribed officials at all levels to gather strength and finally launched the "Anshi Rebellion".

The Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline, the "Anshi Rebellion" can be said to be a landmark event, and the outbreak of this turmoil can be said to be Tang Xuanzong's administrative mistakes.

On the one hand, he lifted the restrictions on Hu generals, which led to An Lushan and other Hu generals in power, and on the other hand, he made Jiedu envoys in power, which prompted the emergence of feudal towns.

Although the Tang Dynasty has always had the habit of using Hu generals, it strictly prevented Hu generals from leading military power alone, and Han ministers were often used to restrain them.

However, due to the fact that among the border generals, "authors of great fame often become prime ministers", Guo Yuanzhen, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Shuo, Xiao Song, Li Shizhi and others directly ranked among the prime ministers as border generals.

Due to Li Linfu's power struggle with Li Shi, in order to prevent the border generals from threatening him, Li Linfu finally wrote a letter suggesting that Xuanzong should no longer restrict Hu generals, so that the Hu generals could take power alone.

At the same time, due to the threat of ethnic minorities on the border, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang restored the Dudufu system and set up a large group of troops stationed on the border, thus forming border towns.

With the collapse of the Fubing system, various border towns began to gradually replace the Fubing with recruits, and the Jiedushi of the border towns began to gradually grasp military power.

Since then, in order to solve the huge financial expenditure of the border town, the imperial court gradually handed over the financial power to the border town's Jiedushi.

In order to prevent officials at all levels from restricting the military, Tang Xuanzong allowed the Jiedu envoy to also lead the interview history, and supervised and restrained the officials within his jurisdiction, so that the Jiedu envoy had governance power again.

It was the mistakes in governance that led to the rapid rise of the feudal towns. By the time of Tianbao, the border towns that had already mastered military, financial, and governance powers had actually become a state within a state.

Coupled with the disappearance of restrictions on General Hu, it eventually directly triggered the "Anshi Rebellion".

Due to the long-term wars from the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, in the early Tang Dynasty, facing the situation of less people and more land, the land equalization system was implemented at the economic level, while the military system of the previous dynasty was continued.

The so-called Fubing system, in simple terms, is a military system that focuses on farming on weekdays, conducts military training during slack, joins the army to fight in wartime, and prepares its own weapons and horses for participating in the war.

This kind of military system enabled the Tang Dynasty to guarantee extremely strong military mobilization capabilities and powerful military combat effectiveness with a small population.

You must know that the population in the early Tang Dynasty was only about 4000 million, but the number of government soldiers registered had reached 80.

However, Xiao He is also successful, and Xiao He is also defeated. Since weapons and horses need to be prepared when participating in the war, the common people generally have a greater burden.

During the period of foreign expansion in the early Tang Dynasty, the common people could still get compensation by virtue of military merits. With the stability of the world and the collapse of the land equalization system, the burden on the common people became heavier and heavier.

As a result, the phenomenon of people escaping military service became more and more serious, which eventually led to the collapse of the government military system.

After the collapse of the government military system, the imperial court had to adopt the recruitment system in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

The so-called recruiting refers to full-time soldiers, soldiers who join the army purely for military pay, not to mention the issue of combat effectiveness.

They have a big problem, that is, they are only loyal to those who pay their wages.

During the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, due to the objective phenomenon of the importance of internal importance and external importance, the recruitment system was first implemented in the border towns, and because the Jiedushi held the financial power of the border towns, these soldiers were actually equivalent to the private soldiers of the Jiedushi.

After the collapse of the Fubing system, because the recruitment system was first implemented in border towns, it further aggravated the situation of Tang Dynasty's internal emphasis on external emphasis.

As a result, when the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out, the imperial court simply did not have enough power to extinguish it, which is why the Anshi Rebellion lasted for a long time.

After the Anshi Rebellion, in order to balance internal and external relations, the imperial court had to set up feudal towns in the interior, which resulted in the formation of separatist regimes.

As mentioned above, the reason why the Tang Dynasty quickly turned from prosperity to decline in the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan" was mainly because Tang Xuanzong was addicted to having fun, which led to chaos in the government.

Coupled with the failure of governance and the collapse of the military system, after experiencing the sharp turmoil of the "Anshi Rebellion", the phenomenon of separatist regimes began to appear, and the imperial court gradually lost its rule over the country.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji almost lost his country. Li Longji, who fled Chang'an in a hurry, lost his prestige after the Maweipo mutiny. After being forced to kill Yang Yuhuan, the emperor became a nameless emperor.

Prince Suzong stood on his own and directly made Li Longji the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, in his later years, Li Longji only knew about wine pools and meat forests and extravagance, and completely ignored the crisis of the empire. Even if there was no Anshi Rebellion in Anlu Mountain, the death knell of the empire would come sooner or later.

The video playback ended here, and the screen gradually dimmed.

The emperors of all dynasties saw this scene with complicated eyes and sighs on their faces. They couldn't help but feel very sorry for this short-lived Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 80

In the early days of Tang Xuanzong's reign, he made great efforts to govern, forged ahead, selected talents and appointed talents, developed production, recovered lost land, stabilized frontiers, and created a peak and prosperity that was almost unmatched by later generations.

However, the prosperous scene of Kaiyuan dazzled Tang Xuanzong's mind, he began to be greedy for sensuality, neglected the government, and favored traitors.

In order to spend more time with Concubine Yang, Tang Xuanzong successively appointed Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong as prime ministers, allowing these treacherous people to take power.

These two flattered their superiors, envied their superiors and envied their inferiors, punished dissidents, and the government became increasingly corrupt.

Political corruption led to the decline of Kaiyuan's prosperity, which triggered the Anshi Rebellion in 755, and the rebels approached Chang'an.

Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to take refuge in Shu. On the way, soldiers staged a mutiny and killed Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei.

In 758, the Tang army recovered Luoyang and Chang'an and the two capitals, and Tang Xuanzong returned to Chang'an.

In 762, Tang Xuanzong died of illness in Chang'an Taiji Palace.

The prosperous situation he created with his own hands went into decline like this.

During the reign of Tang Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty reached its heyday, and it was also when he was in power that the Tang Dynasty declined.

This is really the master of the rise and fall of the two worlds, and the people of the two worlds of joy and sorrow!

Great Qin.

"Li Longji is a very mature political figure. He knows how to hide his strength and bide his time. Once the time is right, he will be able to soar into the sky. He is very decisive and courageous."

"At the same time, Li Longji is also ruthless and ruthless as a political figure, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"In the early days of his accession to the throne, he was very motivated, knew people and made good use of them, and established the rule of Kaiyuan. However, he gradually became complacent, greedy for pleasure, and revealed his nature of desire, and finally brought the Tang Empire to its end."

After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the video, he couldn't help but commented.

Big man.

"Li Longji reused virtuous officials in the early stage and worked hard to govern. The social economy continued to develop, and there was an unprecedented prosperous scene in feudal society."

"However, in the later period, Li Longji indulged in drinking and sex, indulged in excesses, reused treacherous officials, and became politically corrupt. Finally, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Tang Dynasty turned into decline."
