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

Chapter 305: The Symbol of the Late Tang Dynasty: The Ganlu Change
On the canopy.

Li Ang sat on the couch with a gloomy look on his face.

"My Lord, which monarch can I compare myself to?"

The minister sitting opposite him hurriedly stood up and replied:
"Your Majesty is a ruler like Yao and Shun."

Li Ang looked at him, shook his head and laughed:

"How dare I compare myself to Yao and Shun... The reason I ask you this is because I want to know how I compare to King Nan of Zhou and Emperor Xian of Han."

……

Datang.

The hall, which was in the midst of a heated discussion, suddenly fell into silence.

King Nan of Zhou? Emperor Xian of Han?
These are all kings who lost their country!

There was a hint of confusion in Li Shimin's eyes.

Why did this happen all of a sudden?

What is missing here?

Did the Tang Dynasty suddenly fall?
……

On the canopy.

The minister knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly, saying in a trembling voice:
"King Nan and Emperor Xian were both kings who lost their country! They can never be compared with Your Majesty!"

Li Ang laughed, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

There was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in his voice.

"Prince Nan and Emperor Xian were merely controlled by the princes, but I am controlled by my household slaves!"

"According to this statement, I am even worse than them..."

……

Although Emperor Wenzong of Tang was determined to make progress and worked day and night for the government, there were three problems that needed to be solved in order to restore the original grandeur of the Tang Empire: separatist regimes, eunuchs' monopoly of power, and factional struggles within the court.

[The problem of separatist regimes had been basically resolved during the reign of Emperor Xianzong. Although some of the separatist regimes surrendered superficially, the overall situation was still unified and stable.]

【However, during the reigns of Emperors Mu and Jing, due to the incompetence of the emperors, the problem of the feudal lords resurfaced and was no longer so easy to solve. 】

【Tang Wenzong could not think of any good solution to this situation, so he adopted a combination of soft and hard tactics to try to stabilize the political situation in the country within a controllable range.】

[At this time, the famous "Niu-Li factional dispute" in history had quietly begun. ]

[Tang Wenzong had no choice but to gradually transfer officials from these two factions away from the central government to reduce the chances of conflict between the two parties.]

[Although it is not a perfect solution, it has achieved certain results for a while. ]

After stabilizing the disputes between the feudal lords and the cliques, Emperor Wenzong of Tang faced a huge challenge, which was the problem of eunuchs' monopoly of power that had not been solved for many years.

……

The period of Emperor Huan of Yanhan Dynasty
Liu Zhi knew what happened without even looking at what happened next.

He held Liu Bei, who was about five or six years old, and said slowly:
"Xuan De, you must remember this."

"The relationship between the king and the eunuchs is actually very delicate."

"Because eunuchs are always around the emperor, they know the emperor's temper and preferences very well, so they are more likely to gain the emperor's trust."

"This situation is particularly evident in some emperors who have weak autonomy and no opinions when faced with problems."

After a pause, Liu Zhi added a sentence.

"Just like Liu Hong."

The young Liu Bei nodded.

Liu Zhi looked at the still somewhat confused little Liu Bei with complicated eyes, then looked at the sky and continued:
"In addition, using eunuchs to share some power is also a good way for the emperor to control the court and balance the ministers."

"These eunuchs have no support in life, so they will not have second thoughts about me, and they will not pose any threat to me."

"And compared to those resourceful and eloquent ministers, eunuchs are easier to control."

"If there is any abuse of power, it will be easier to deal with it with one's own servants."

"The only thing is that we cannot let them control the military power."

"Remember?"

Little Liu Bei looked at Liu Zhi, who looked expectant, nodded, and said in a childish voice:

"Father, I remember this."

Liu Zhi was pleased when he saw Liu Bei with a serious look on his face.

He didn't use the fertility pill given by Tianmu.

He didn't dare to gamble. He didn't dare to gamble whether the child he gave birth to would follow in the footsteps of Emperor Ling.

Rather than taking a big gamble, it would be better to adopt Liu Bei as your son.

This child is kind and righteous, but his vision is not very high.

If he is trained well, he may become a figure like Emperor Taizu.

Liu Zhi looked up at the sky, with a flame of ambition in his eyes.

What is the world of heroes in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties...

I want the Han Dynasty to last forever!

……

[In 831 AD, Emperor Wenzong of Tang and Prime Minister Song Shenxi conspired to kill the eunuchs headed by Wang Shoucheng. However, the plot failed and Song Shenxi was demoted and executed, and dozens of people were implicated.]

【Afterwards, Wenzong contacted court officials Li Xun and Zheng Zhu to prepare for a coup d'état in order to free himself from the control of the eunuchs.】

[In October 835 AD, Emperor Wenzong of Tang appointed Li Xun as prime minister and Zheng Zhu as governor of Fengxiang, which was in line with the internal and external situation.]

【He then sent an eunuch to poison Wang Shoucheng, and the Yuanhe rebels were all killed, and the power of the eunuchs was slightly weakened.】

……

The period of Emperor Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty (the timeline when Emperor Wenzong had just ascended the throne)

The ministers looked up with some concern, and Wang Shouchen looked at the emperor with an unfriendly expression.

Li Ang was a little flustered but calmed down. Tianmu dug out the things he would do in the future, both good and bad.

The downside is that it would be extremely difficult for me to do anything with these servants.

The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about dying of illness.

After all, my ill will towards him has been made clear, and it is always better to be open than in secret.

……

[When Wang Shoucheng died, Zheng Zhuo asked Emperor Wenzong to take charge of Wang Shoucheng's funeral. He brought hundreds of strong men with axes and ordered all eunuchs below the rank of lieutenant to attend Wang Shoucheng's funeral so that they could be caught in one fell swoop.]

[However, in order to compete with Zheng Zhu for credit, Li Xun and his followers devised another plan to eliminate all the eunuchs.]

……

On the canopy,
One branch is bent, as if waving to the sky. The pomegranate tree is waving in the wind.

The fruits are round and plump with bright colors, like strings of gems hanging on the tree.

And above the gems, bright pearls slid down.

The pearl fell to the ground, splashing a little water.

The splashing water did not return to the earth, but instead twisted and crisscrossed in the air to form four words reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

"The Change of Amrita"

……

[Li Xun appointed his trusted confidant Guo Xingyu as the governor of Bining and Wang Fan as the governor of Hedong, and ordered them to recruit strong men in the capital in the name of going to the town and wait for the opportunity to move.]

【Luo Liyan was appointed as Jingzhao Yin, and Han Yue was appointed as the General of the Left Jinwu Guard.】

[At this point, except for the imperial guards who were still controlled by the eunuchs, the garrison troops in the capital and some strongholds outside the capital were all controlled by Li Xun's men.]

[Li Xun was prepared to use these forces to fight against the eunuchs' army, but Emperor Wenzong was in the hands of the eunuchs, so he had to rescue him first, and then all actions would be justified.]

……

On the canopy.

There was a sound of fighting in Hanyuan Hall.

Li Ang, with a pale face, was pulled into the sedan chair by a eunuch.

As soon as he left the palace gate, a minister grabbed the sedan chair pole and shouted:

"I have something important to report! Your Majesty cannot return to the palace!"

The emperor's sedan chair, surrounded by eunuchs, ran to the Xuanzheng Gate.

The minister held on to the sedan chair poles tightly and kept shouting.

Li Ang came back to his senses and said to the minister with a look of shock and anger:

"Li Zhongyan! Li Xun! Let me go!"

At this time, an eunuch heard the emperor speak and punched the minister in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Before the minister could get up, the imperial sedan had already entered the Xuanzheng Gate.

The palace gates were immediately closed.

……

[On November 835, AD, Emperor Wenzong was holding court in the Purple Palace.]

[After all the officials stood still, Han Yue, the general of the Left Jinwu Guard, reported: sweet dew condensed on the pomegranate tree of the Left Jinwu Guard at night.]

[After reporting the incident, they solemnly began to perform the worship dance.]

【Li Xun led all officials to congratulate and advised Emperor Wenzong to go and watch. 】

【Emperor Wenzong first ordered Li Xun to go and see, but he came back and said it was not nectar.】

【Then Emperor Wenzong ordered the left and right lieutenants of the Shen Ce Army, Qiu Shiliang and Yu Zhihong, to go and verify.】

[Qiu Shiliang and others arrived at Zuowei and discovered an ambush, so they quickly fled back and led the eunuchs to rush to welcome Emperor Wenzong back to the harem in a sedan chair.]

[Li Xun led the Jinwu guards to fight against them, and Luo Liyan also led hundreds of Jingzhao guards to help. More than ten eunuchs were killed or injured, but Wenzong was finally taken into the harem by the eunuchs. ]

【Then, 500 Shen Ce guards under the command of the eunuchs arrived and killed hundreds of Jinwu guards and various officials. Li Xun and Zheng Zhu were also killed one after another. Guo Xingyu, Wang Fan, Luo Liyan and others were all executed, and all their relatives died.】

[Many court officials were implicated and executed.]

【At this point, "all world affairs were decided by the Northern Department, and the prime minister only had to issue written documents." 】

……

Big man.

Liu Bang glanced at Lu Zhi and moved his face closer.

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you see it? Do you understand?"

Veins bulged on Lu Zhi's forehead, but she said nothing.

Liu Bang, who was getting more and more aggressive, almost taunted him face to face:

"He took action against the eunuchs. Yes, he did."

"And then? Kick away your allies and throw yourself into the arms of the eunuchs."

"My Lord has already said that he is not a good person! Look! I still have..."

"enough!!!"

A loud shout rang in Liu Bang's ears!

Facing the lion's roar, Liu Bang's head was buzzing.

He shook his head vigorously and looked at Lu Zhi, who was standing close to him, gritting her teeth, clenching her fists, and having anger in her eyes.

Liu Bang forced a smile.

"We agreed not to hit each other in the face."
