Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 1 The building will fall into chaos
In the first year of Tang Wende, Daming Palace.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Empire has completely entered the chariot of the feudal town. For the emperor, warriors are no longer trustworthy, but the empire must have soldiers.

The military commander is domineering and has no loyalty.Civil servants are weak and do not know military affairs, and it is said that all civil and military affairs are entrusted to civil servants. This is the way to bring about chaos.

What about the clan?The emperor was even more worried. The Tang Dynasty had made a good start from Taizong Li Shimin to Xuanzong Li Longji. There were more than [-] coups in the clan, and there were not a few people who succeeded in ascending to power, such as Taizong and Xuanzong.

Tang Suzong Li Heng, who quelled the Anshi Rebellion, was surprised to find that only the eunuchs, the emperor's servants, could be entrusted with the state equipment.

So Li Heng handed over all the Forbidden Army of the Beiya to Li Fuguo, the powerful eunuch who supported him to succeed him.Since then, the eunuch has been in charge of the forbidden guards first.

No matter what, Li Heng could never have imagined that the submissive servant in front of him, who seemed to be able to be crushed to death with one hand, would be so arrogant that he would kill his queen in front of him in the future.

The power is so great that it can even abolish the emperor.He even uttered wild words: "Your Majesty, you can only sit inside, and the foreign affairs are handled by the old slave."

At that time, Daizong Li Yu wished he could tear up the eunuch, but there was nothing he could do.The bitter wine had already been brewed, so I had to drink it with my head buried. Since then, the Tang Empire has planted the root of the chaos of eunuchs in addition to the separatist regime.

After more than a hundred years, Yu Chaoen, Qiu Shiliang and other powerful eunuchs all appeared on the stage. The seven emperors after Emperor Xianzong all had eunuchs abolished. If Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, knew about it, even the coffin boards would not be able to hold it down.

The warship of the Tang Empire had been bombarded inside and outside for more than a hundred years by the two sledgehammers of feudal towns and power officials, and by the first year of Wende, it had only one breath left.

The emperor's younger brother Li Ye succeeded to the throne in front of Tang Xizong's coffin. At this time, the territory controlled by the imperial court was Chang'an, Jingzhao Mansion, and Chang'an City was already dilapidated.

During the Kaiyuan period in the past, there were more than [-] households in Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, with a population of more than one million. The streets and markets were crowded and prosperous.

A few years ago, when Huang Chao's army attacked the city, Li Ye's elder brother Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty fled in a hurry. Shengjia's minister was almost taken over by Huang Chao's army.

Civil servants, military generals, and most of the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty were killed by Chao bandits, and the rest were beheaded.

After the rebellion was suppressed, Li Keyong led the Shatuo Iron Cavalry to Lianzhan Lianjie, Huang Chao was defeated, all rebelled against relatives, and withdrew from Chang'an.At this time, Li Ke used his butcher's knife against Chang'an City again...

After Huang Chao was flattened, Emperor Xizong returned to Chang'an, and immediately issued an edict to surrender to Huang Chao and others, and the family was punished.

The people who escaped from Huangchao and Li Keyong's butcher's knife have no time to catch their breath, and they will face a new military disaster.

Officials turned to thieves, what happened to the people!The imperial army of Beiya Shence robbed Jingzhao by order, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.

When Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he searched for the princesses of the clan and the princesses as concubines. Emperor Xizong felt ashamed when he was restored, and said: "You have received the emperor's grace for generations, but you can't follow the thief." One of them said to him: "The imperial court has a million soldiers, Your Majesty If you fled westward to the land of Shu, why blame the woman!" Yan Bi held his head high and sacrificed himself.

So much so that the emperor's brother, who was only thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, was so ashamed and angry when he heard this, he almost passed out.

The face of the imperial court is gone, and the underpants of the Tang Dynasty are all lost...

If the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached. Even though Yang Fugong, a power eunuch, has studied for a few years, he probably will not be able to understand this truth.

To the first emperor, he had the righteousness to save him.He has made great contributions to today's world.

Within the imperial court, he was awarded the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the inspector Taifu, and the general of Jinwu, who were in charge of the forbidden soldiers. Outside the imperial court, his confidant and adopted son served as the governor and governor.There are also hundreds of adopted sons who serve as military supervisors in various places.

Carrying a big sedan chair eight times when traveling, shouting in front and hugging in back.The left and right slandered: "Father has made great achievements in the imperial court, and the king can also give it to you. Why are you stingy with this. It is difficult for me to reward my father for his great achievements!"

Lord!Yang Fugong wanted to go out on a royal guard of honor. If he returned to his hometown, he would naturally be more prestigious than the current Wei Guogong.

However, the new king has just ascended the throne, so how could he be too hasty, Yang Fugong smiled, and now everything is at peace inside and outside, everything in the court is done by him, his disciples and Zhongshu all follow his lead, the ambition of a man is so far, what more can I ask for.

Later, the front reported that he had arrived at Yanying Hall, and His Majesty was waiting in the hall.

"What are you (the emperor) busy with today? Who can you see?"

"Wake up at three o'clock in the morning, eat at Chenshi, and then have been studying in the Ganlu Hall. Just arrived at the Yanying Hall, and have not summoned any courtiers."

"Lucky concubine last night?"

"No, the servant went to ask, His Majesty said that it is time for mourning, bathing and fasting!"

After asking some more questions, Yang Fugong got out of the sedan chair. Although he was a servant of the emperor and had power over the court, he was also afraid. He was afraid of the emperor's collusion with the ministers, and he was afraid of leading soldiers to serve the king.

It's okay for the emperor to even the ministers, it's just a little more troublesome, and it won't cause a catastrophe, but it would be fatal for the foreign domain to lead troops to serve the king.Yang Fugong admits that he has read a few books, and the clothes and belts are endless in history.

Of course, the "clothes belt edict" is also the emperor's last resort. It is clear that it is the way to burn jade and stone together. Although Yang Fugong can't please the king, is it good for the emperor?
In history, there was no eunuch who wanted to be emperor, but when foreign soldiers came, there were few in history who did not want to be emperor.

Entering the hall, the left and right hurriedly presented the prepared seal to the emperor's case.

Yang Fugong neither kowtowed nor said anything, just went to the emperor's side.

Then he said: "The national funeral should not have troubled His Majesty, but Chang'an is newly restored, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. It is the time for the imperial court to employ people. The slaves have already copied the proposed people, please read them!"

Li Ye thought to himself, really domineering, no wonder the history books have described this eunuch heavily.

It is said that one day Tang Zhaozong was discussing with the prime minister, and this guy directly had someone carry the sedan chair in front of Zhaozong, showing off his prestige in front of his godsons.

Is it really fun to bully the emperor?For example, now, if you know it, you are a eunuch, but if you don’t know it, you think you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Li Ye is not good at looks. He has changed his core. He has trained in the army for more than ten years, and after changing jobs, he has practiced in the system for decades. He has already practiced Qi-raising skills.

Yang Fugong's practice is really not enough.

Everything is shown on his face, for fear that people will not know that he is awesome.

Even if he was originally Emperor Zhaozong, it was like a joke to clean up this thing.

The high-ranking official Houlu directly instigated one of the sons of this guy who led the army, and relieved this guy of military power.

But Li Ye, who had changed the core, didn't want to do it so roughly.

The reason is very simple, the sequelae caused by the original body's handling of Yang Fugong are too great.

It directly caused Longjian, Shannan Dongdao and other places to break with the imperial court, and attracted Fengxiang and Longyou Jiedu envoy Li Maozhen to threaten the central government.

As a result, the original body had to flee to Chang'an, and Han Jian disbanded the Shence Army by Han Jian.

At that time, Datang was really helpless.
