He is the eighteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the earliest emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he can be regarded as an emperor who witnessed the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty. With the help of eunuchs, he was able to ascend the throne. He lived to be twenty-eight years old. During this period, eunuchs had great power, and even suppressed the imperial power to a certain extent, which was also one of the main reasons for the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of eunuchs. The scenes of life in the palace can bring him unscrupulous entertainment. He is indeed an emperor who loves entertainment. Calculation, music, go, gambling, he is good at almost everything in playing games, but in terms of government affairs, he is not good at all.

Often make muddled decisions.

Listen to the eunuch's words, such as raising taxes, forcing the people to have no way to live, so that bandits are raging everywhere, and the people can't see Liaosheng.

And because the previous emperors all died early, he was also afraid that he would seek death, so he followed the example of Emperor Gaozong, looking around for alchemists to refine elixirs for him. The medicine that nourishes the body, and he was named the national teacher.

And this national teacher is also a guy with a little success in cultivation.

With the passage of heaven and earth aura, it became more and more difficult for human monks to cultivate.

The various sects also closed the mountain gate one after another, using the mountain sealing array to seal off the spirit energy in the mountain gate, and at the same time set up the spirit gathering array to absorb the spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth for their own use.

Even a big sect like Longhushan is no exception, because the loss of aura has become more and more serious. If the gate of the mountain is not closed, it may be very difficult for even an innate to cultivate in the future.

And this national teacher also knew where he got a training method that uses the souls of other living beings as nourishment, and he caught all kinds of wild animals for his own training. Finally, he found that among all the wild animals, snakes are the most powerful. This kind of cultivation method is suitable for him.

So, he issued an edict asking people to help him hunt snakes around for him to practice.

Of course, you can also choose not to help him arrest, but the premise is that you can afford the tax. If you can't pay the tax, then sorry, you will be sent to the border and sent to the army.

With the fall of the Tang Dynasty, foreign countries outside the Great Wall gradually became disobedient. Turpan, Turks, and the Khitan clan all had obvious disobedience. The Tang Dynasty also sent troops to the north three times, but failed to drive them away. How about it.

Because the Tang Dynasty could no longer fight.

The national treasury was already empty, and the Tang Dynasty had reached the most critical moment. Unfortunately, Li Xuan didn't know this at all. Apart from having fun every day, he didn't care about the life and death of the people.

Instead, all the duties in the court were handed over to the eunuch, and the eunuch colluded with the grand master. One can imagine what kind of chaos the world has become today.

Entering Chang'an City, although there are many pedestrians on the street, compared to the once prosperous and lively Chang'an City, it is much quieter.

On the street, a white figure was walking among the crowd. He was wearing a white gown, with black black hair tied behind his back. He had handsome features, a tall and straight figure, and looked very handsome.

There is also a faint smile on the face, giving people a kind of spring vitality.

It is a world of difference from the many numb expressions around.

"Chang'an City is really down." Standing on the street, Xu Fan sighed helplessly.

Even if it is as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, it cannot avoid decline.

Although he doesn't know who the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is, Xu Fan can be sure that it will definitely not be Li Shimin. If it is Li Shimin, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be like this.

In fact, Xu Fan had already talked about Li Shimin's death. Although he gave Li Shimin a bottle of elixir, could Li Shimin eat all the elixir? .

No, unless he took it all at once, but the elixir had to be taken every once in a while, which made it impossible for Li Shimin to take it all at once.

The consequence was that he couldn't take the next pill because no one wanted him to take it. As for who it was, Xu Fan didn't bother to guess, after all, Li Shimin was dead.

Looking at the surrounding streets, although there are still a lot of vendors, Xu Fan saw a lot of beggars on the streets. You must know that in Chang'an City, you couldn't see such things as beggars at all.

Moreover, when entering Chang'an City, the thin dragon aura of Chang'an City once made Xu Fan think that he had gone to the wrong place.

Even the old Suzhou couldn't compare to that thin dragon energy, not even one-fifth of its strength.

When the country will perish, there will be evil spirits.

This sentence is not unreasonable. When a country is on the verge of extinction, even the dragon energy will become extremely thin, and this becomes an opportunity for monsters to take advantage of.

From the time he entered Chang'an City to the present, although only about a minute had passed, Xu Fan had already felt the aura of hundreds of monsters in Chang'an City.

You know, more than two hundred years ago, when Xu Fan entered Chang'an City, he couldn't even feel the breath of a monster. From this, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty has fallen to a certain extent.

"Master, please give me some food. I haven't eaten for several days. Please, sir."

Just as Xu Fan was recalling the past, a voice rang in his ear.

Xu Fan heard the sound and looked, only to see a young man with a dirty face and a stench on his body, holding a broken bowl and looking at him hopefully.

The young man's face was a little dirty, dark and dark, it looked like he hadn't washed it for at least [-] or [-] days, his cheeks were sunken, bags under his eyes had come out, and there was a hint of demandingness in his eyes, which was the hope for life.

Xu Fan looked at his chest cavity and found that it was sunken a lot, presumably he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Xu Fan looked at the alley behind the young man, where there were many longing eyes, looking hopefully at the place where he was, or at the young man in front of him.

Most of them are children of six or seven years old, and the older ones seem to be only eight or nine years old.

"I beg you." Seeing that Xu Fan didn't scold him like the others, but instead looked at himself and behind him, the young man suddenly beamed with joy, and his heart was full of drama.

"Do you want me to reward you with a meal?" Xu Fan looked back at the young man in front of him and said.

"Yes, sir, as long as three copper coins are enough for me to buy five steamed buns, I don't want any more," said the young man.

"I didn't say I would give you money."

Hearing Xu Fan's words, the young man was taken aback and his face was blank.

"I said, I want to give you a chance to eat, do you want it?"

"Sir, what do you say?"

"Don't call me uncle, you can call me young master, I'm not as old as you call me."

"Yes... yes, master."

"Those little guys over there are also with you."
