Tang Xuanzong, the dream and fall of a prosperous emperor, how did his fate change from the whirlpool of power and intrigue to loneliness and loneliness, and then to the end of loyal ministers?From the Kaiyuan of the prosperous era to the changes of the Anshi Rebellion, what kind of life did Tang Xuanzong experience?Based on historical materials, explore this tragic imperial legend.
When Xuanzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, but in the struggle for power, his decisions triggered a great change in the empire. The cause of the Anshi Rebellion was his improper appointment, neglect of the government, and favor of Yang Guifei and others, which led to the rise of the national forces in the frontiers. Eventually, eight years of turmoil destroyed the Tang dynasty's prosperity.
After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong was robbed of the throne by his son, and he was forced to flee in Maweipo in Xingpingxi, Shaanxi. Before being seized the throne, the soldiers mutinied and killed, but he could not recover the support of the soldiers, and finally lost the ability to resist. After killing Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong fled to Chengdu, An Lushan became seriously ill, the rebels stopped the pursuit, and the situation reached a stalemate. However, the crown prince Li Heng chose to flee to the location of the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, and held an enthronement ceremony in Lingwu, pushing himself to the title of Emperor Zhide, and Tang Xuanzong was forced to be called the emperor, and the throne was gone.
After Emperor De ascended the throne, he launched an all-out operation against the rebels, mobilized troops, deployed troops, and curbed the momentum of the rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty was able to temporarily avoid the crisis of extinction. However, after Tang Xuanzong returned to Chang'an, he did not try to regain the throne, no longer interfered in the government affairs, and lived in Xingqing Palace, but the only thing he never forgot was Yang Guifei, and his feelings for her were still deep.
After Tang Xuanzong was seized the throne, the eunuch Li Fuguo and others began to weaken his power, forcing him to move to Xinei, and even being bullied. Tang Suzong did not blame Li Fuguo for this, but acquiesced in this behavior, and Tang Xuanzong's cronies were purged one after another, and he spent his old age alone and helpless.
In the end, after Tang Xuanzong was exiled to Wuzhou, Gao Lishi and others, he was almost isolated from the outside world and lived in loneliness. Against this backdrop, he died of depression at the age of 78, and 13 days later, Tang Suzong also died. The death of Tang Xuanzong marked the end of an era, he was buried in Tailing, and the military generals who created a prosperous era with him have long since disappeared, and only the loyal minister Gao Lishi was buried in Tailing.
When the news of Tang Xuanzong's death reached the ears of the exiled Gao Lishi, he was filled with grief and indignation, and finally died of heartbreak. Gao Lishi was loyal all his life, and he was like a brother and sister to Tang Xuanzong, and his loyalty and sacrifice became a footnote to the times. Although the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, the glory of the Tang Dynasty has become a thing of the past, and the legendary story of the emperors of the Tang Xuanzong generation has finally become a historical regret.
Tang Xuanzong's life experience is full of drama and tragedy, as a generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, from the glorious Kaiyuan Dynasty to the disorder of the Anshi Rebellion, he has gone through vicissitudes and has become a legend in Chinese history that has attracted much attention.
The article deeply analyzes the Anshi Rebellion caused by the power imbalance and political mistakes of Tang Xuanzong. From the struggle for power, favoring his courtiers to being seized from the throne by his son, Tang Xuanzong's experience and choices in governing the country led to the decline of the empire. This history reminds us that every choice in the decisions and actions of rulers can have a profound impact on the entire country.
What is particularly thought-provoking is the loneliness and sadness of Tang Xuanzong's later years. After being forced to abdicate, he was deprived of power and isolated, and compared with the death of Yang Guifei, his inner grievances and nostalgia for feelings were more gripping. This simultaneous torture of power and emotion constituted the deepest mental journey of Tang Xuanzong in his later years, and it also made people feel deep sympathy for his physical and mental state and inner struggle.
Tang Xuanzong's people also left a deep impression on people. Colliers' loyalty and sacrifice are a vivid interpretation of the spirit of loyalty. He walked with Tang Xuanzong all the way, and finally died of loyalty with love and guarded Tang Xuanzong for the rest of his life. This quality of loyalty and responsibility shines with a unique light in the long history and is awe-inspiring.
The ups and downs of Tang Xuanzong's life and his eventual death were not only the changes in his personal fate, but also the withering of a prosperous generation. As an emperor, he carried the rise and fall of an era, and his story tells us that the struggle between power and loneliness, responsibility and choice was a common proposition faced by many rulers throughout history.
In commenting on this history, we should draw more wisdom and warnings from it. Tang Xuanzong's experience reminds us that power cannot be separated from responsibility, and that more wisdom and justice are needed under power schemes, as well as the quality of staying sober in the face of power and not forgetting the original intention. This history also makes us think about the inextricable connection between power and loneliness, emotion and responsibility, and how to balance power and emotion in the role of a leader, and how to deal with the interpersonal relationships around us are all topics that need to be considered and reflected.
Tang Xuanzong left to future generations not only the prosperity of a prosperous era, but also a legend of conspiracy, loneliness and loyalty to loyal ministers. This history teaches us how to view the relationship between power and responsibility, how to face the changes and challenges of life, and how to find eternal revelation in the long river of history.
