The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 302: The Unbridled Lord - Emperor Jingzong of Tang - Li Zhan

[In the first month of 824 AD, Emperor Muzong of Tang died, and his eldest son Li Zhan ascended the throne and became Emperor Jingzong of Tang.]

[In a nutshell, Jingzong is a replica of Muzong. ]

[Only one month after he ascended the throne, "he had so many banquets, played ball, and played music, and rewarded eunuchs and musicians that it is impossible to record them all."]

……

On the canopy.

Qingsi Palace.

The young emperor was playing ball on horseback with a group of eunuchs when suddenly a loud commotion broke out.

"What's the disturbance?"

The little emperor looked impatient as a young eunuch stumbled in from the outer door.

His legs went limp and he fell to the ground, pointing outside the wall and saying in panic:
"They've broken in, Your Majesty! The dyers have broken into the palace!"

……

[After ascending the throne, Emperor Jingzong of Tang indulged in recreation and was lazy about state affairs, not caring about state affairs at all.]

[He often built large-scale projects, which caused complaints from ministers and craftsmen.]

【Jingzong indulged in pleasure and often did not attend court. The civil and military officials in the court repeatedly advised him against it, but Jingzong still did what he wanted.】

[In April, due to the frequent conscription of civilians in Chang'an to build palaces and pavilions, Zhang Shao and other dyeing workshop workers led hundreds of dyeing workshop workers into the palace.]

[Tang Jingzong was still playing ball with great interest at the time, until he heard the shouting and killing, then he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly hid.]

[The palace guards finally woke up from their dream and organized people to suppress the uprising. Eventually, this small-scale uprising was quelled.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che's face was filled with astonishment and shock that were beyond words.

"...Do you use pigs to guard the palace gates in the Tang Dynasty?"

Incomprehensible! Unbelievable! Inexplicable!

"He did this! ... and then!"

Liu Che was so excited that he was incoherent. There are really too many flaws in this movie!

Not to mention that the servants in the paint room could move around in the palace, how could hundreds of people move freely all the way and dance in front of the emperor?

Then the guard woke up from his dream?

Liu Che’s first reaction was that there was a problem!

There must be something wrong with this obvious loophole!
But the next moment, I thought of the "Inheritance Law" of the Tang Dynasty.

...I couldn't help but feel suspicious...

So this kind of palace confinement is normal?

Could it be that I was wrong?

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan felt a chill rising in his heart, his body couldn't help shaking, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"That's the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Is this a toilet?"

“No hindrance!”

The two boys on the side frowned slightly and looked at each other.

"And how did Li Chun teach his son?"

After wiping away his tears, Li Yuan slapped the bed and started to act rudely and unreasonably!

"Look at that son and grandson! What kind of people are they!"

"He has no ambition! He does whatever he wants! He looks like a loser and a loser!"

Then he covered his face and sobbed:

"The Tang Dynasty is about to end... it's over..."

Li Shimin, who was standing aside, felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This world...I conquered it, didn't I? I didn't even cry?
……

Datang.

"woo woo woo woo!"

Empress Changsun hugged Li Shimin, who was crying a little loudly, with a gentle expression.

Li Chengqian, without looking away, covered little Li Zhi's head with one hand to straighten the little head that was peeking at him.

His Highness's ministers looked up at the sky, looked left and right, or stared at the tablets in their hands, trying to see what material they were made of.

We know you are a tearful person.

But could you please let us go before you cry?
We are embarrassed by your behavior! "Your Majesty! I have a memorial to report!"

The ministers glanced over and realized that there was really no one else but you... hero!
"What do you want?"

Li Shimin was no longer in the mood to play the game of monarch and subject with Wei Zheng.

The Tang Dynasty is about to be destroyed!
Wei Zheng didn't care about Li Shimin's attitude...

Seeing how miserable he was crying, I'll make a note of this.

"Your Majesty, I request that a cabinet be established next to the Taiji Hall."

"Select those with both talent and character to take up the post, write imperial edicts, and command military affairs."

As soon as these words came out, the hall became as dark as a pool of death.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin, whose face gradually became solemn, and said solemnly:

"A group of officials should not have any real power, so as to prevent the situation where power gradually increases."

"All military affairs, both high and low, are issued from this cabinet."

Li Shimin stopped crying and started frowning.

His intuition told him that this was a good thing, but he was not sure whether it would be good for future generations.

"My Lords... please speak freely!"

……

[Although the palace invasion incident occurred, Emperor Jingzong of Tang obviously did not care about such a "small matter"]

[He continued to indulge in entertainment and not attend court, and at the same time, he was superstitious about Taoist priests trying to achieve immortality.]

[He sent envoys to Hunan, Jiangnan and other places to collect herbs, and sent the Taoist Du Jingxian to Huainan, Lingnan and other states to seek out extraordinary people. He built mountains and temples in the inner palace and dedicated more than 20 Taoist priests to explain Taoism.]

【At this time, the government of the imperial court was controlled by Prime Minister Li Fengji and others, and his subordinates included "Eight Gates" and "Sixteen Sons" who flattered and fawned on him. 】

[The "Niu-Li faction dispute" between Niu Sengru and Li Deyu was also very fierce. ]

[The eunuchs were even more powerful. Eunuchs like Wang Shoucheng and Liang Shouqian were "elders" of several dynasties. They were very powerful. They had the final say on whether the kings should be deposed or enthroned. No matter how the ministers in the court fought and tried to seize power, they had to look at their faces.]

【At the same time, the power of the feudal lords took the opportunity to expand viciously, and the "hereditary" position of Jiedushi became a tradition. The separatist feudal lords became independent small kingdoms, and the imperial court had no way to deal with them.】

[The entire Tang Dynasty fell into an endless "civil war."]

[Ministers fought with ministers, vassal states fought with the central government, and vassal states fought with vassal states.]

……

{Of all the dynasties, the Tang Dynasty had the most buffs, including the female protagonist, foreign relatives, eunuchs, powerful vassals, and foreign enemies... the only thing missing was a powerful minister.}
{This Li Zhan is a bit like a combination of Xiao Zhaoye + Xiao Baojuan (who likes pleasure)}
{Muzong and Jingzong, father and son, directly lost the achievements of the Yuanhe Restoration.}
{This is the flaw of the patriarchal inheritance system. The scope of heirs is extremely limited, and there is no compromise solution such as queen, adopted son, or son-in-law adopted son.}
{They even refused to accept the Empress Dowager ruling when the Emperor was old but incompetent, and could not expand the selection range to select a capable successor to continue the overall situation. It was normal for an incompetent ruler to appear in three generations, and the probability of a wise ruler appearing in three generations was extremely low.}
{There is no way around it. Think about it from another angle. If the inheritance system is not fixed, it is easy for civil strife to occur due to inheritance issues. The Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period is an example.}
{Also, if the emperor is incompetent, he may encounter capable ministers, but it would not be good if the country was at war every day because of the successor.}
……

Tang Xianzong Period
Li Chun felt a twitching pain in his chest as he looked at the sky.

He looked at Guo beside him and pointed at the sky.
"In this case, do you still think you can pass the throne to Li Heng?"

"If either of the father and son had listened to the ministers' advice, the Tang Dynasty would not have fallen to this point!
"Are you afraid that the Tang Dynasty will fall too late?"

"Or do you think that even if the Tang Dynasty really falls, your Guo family will be fine?"

Queen Guo looked at the sky without saying a word, but her hands involuntarily clutched the silk scarf tightly.

Li Chun took a glance and gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Heng cannot be made the crown prince. My decision will not change!"

"His Majesty?!"

"But I can let Yun'er recognize you as his mother!"

Looking at Li Zhan, who showed the four words of stupidity and tyranny vividly in the sky, Li Chun made up his mind.

"As for his mother...she may die of illness."

……

[Although Emperor Jingzong of Tang trusted eunuchs, he also used them to a violent and capricious degree.]

[If a eunuch made a minor mistake, he would be insulted or beaten, exiled, or have his property confiscated. This made the eunuchs fearful and resentful.]

[Eunuchs in the palace, such as Xu Suizhen, Li Shaoduan, and Yu Hongzhi, were also demoted because they did not cooperate well with him in "fighting night foxes."]

[The situation was just like that of his grandfather, Emperor Xianzong of Tang, in his last years. The eunuchs were resentful and fearful and could no longer tolerate it.]

[In December 826 AD, Emperor Jingzong of Tang once again went out to "hunt night foxes." ]

[After returning to the palace after taking the fox, he was in high spirits and drank with the eunuchs Liu Keming, Tian Wucheng, Xu Wenduan, and the batting generals Su Zuoming, Wang Jiaxian, Shi Dingkuan and 28 others.]

【After drinking a lot of wine, he went into the room to change clothes. 】

[At this moment, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, and Liu Keming, Su Zuoming and others took the opportunity to kill Tang Jingzong, who was only 17 years old.]

[Though it can be said that Emperor Muzong of Tang indulged in pleasure, he still attached importance to the northwestern territory and diplomacy with vassal states, and had some achievements. ]

【Then Emperor Jingzong of Tang was good for nothing, he just sat there without doing anything to govern the country. 】
