When he was the head of the family, Zhenhai appointed Li? I set up a hill in private, thinking that the emperor would take turns to do it and come to his house one day. But the emperor's dream was still awake, and the soldiers sent by the emperor really came to his house. All men beheaded, all women registered, Li? My beloved concubine, Zheng, was assigned to Guo Guifei (her granddaughter) as a maid. One day, Xian Zong met Zheng and thought the little girl was very interesting. When he asked, it turned out to be rebellious Li. Woman, cuckold fool, this kind of taste is estimated to be quite cool, so, the overlord is hard to bow, and Zheng gave birth to a baby, which is later.
Li Chen was wronged by this background, and there was no hope of becoming an emperor, because Guo Guifei's son was the legal heir. Sure enough, after Tang Xianzong's death, Li Chen's younger brother succeeded to the throne, which was Tang Muzong. Later, Tang Muzong's three sons were emperors for several years. Li Chen is called an uncle, but he is not even as good as a eunuch. Especially in the years when Tang Wenzong and Tang Wuzong were in power, Li Chen was worried about his life. He survived because of his first face: playing the fool.

Fools are always blessed with stupidity. You don't care if it's true or not. Anyway, Li Chen is so stupid, and the blessing really came. While Tang Wenzong and his brothers were still laughing at their uncle as Uncle Guang, the eunuch leader Ma and others were already looking for the next puppet. The best choice to cultivate a puppet is to find a fool. Tang Wuzong is not childless.
Son, but he died before the prince was established. How can Ma and others miss such an opportunity? Anxious to let Li Chen ascend the throne of the emperor. It's funny to think about it. Li Chen is playing dumb, but these eunuchs are playing dumb. Once again, it proves that the guys without guys below are basically brainless, and nine times out of ten they are idiots.
As soon as Chen Li ascended the throne, she immediately had a second face: brilliant. The chameleon is not as fast as him! Look, he is very busy. In addition to dealing with state affairs and suppressing eunuchs and dignitaries, he tirelessly reads Zhenguan dignitaries every day. It turned out that he was bent on learning from his ancestor Li Shimin. Now, those eunuchs who have just been complacent for a long time are collectively crazy. Aren't you a fool? Why do you become so smart and agile in the blink of an eye? Don't be so deceptive.
What Li Chen did was really not done by a fool. During the reign of 13, he paid attention to the imperial examination, corrected the mistake of destroying Buddha on a large scale, completely solved the feud between Niu and Li for decades, severely taught the arrogant Tubo and recovered the land of Hehuang. He rectified the bureaucracy and restricted the intimacy between the emperor and eunuchs. Except for Li Xun and Zheng Zhu, who died in the change of Ganlu, all the other officials were removed. He also tried to get rid of eunuchs, but because eunuchs were powerful, he failed to take action. However, during his reign, those stupid eunuchs were really suppressed.
Later historians were also puzzled by the second face of Tang Xuanzong: Your Majesty, you are not stupid. Be a good person, keep your heart, shine on your history and say something nice to you. Thus, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became the title of Little Taizong. During his reign, he was also called Xiao Zhenguan, which was only the second time in Li Shimin. Look at these kind words: Xuanzong was observant, selfless in usage, made suggestions, cherished official rewards, respected the humble and thrifty, and loved the people and things, so the great and medium-sized government finally died in the Tang Dynasty, and the people thought about it, calling it Little Taizong.

According to such a high evaluation, Datang should have two winners. How could it be that Huang Chao didn't finish it in too many years? This is due to the third face of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty: an empty head and brain. We often say that people are multifaceted, and it is easy to go to extremes to divide good people and bad people, but this extreme division is not extreme at all when applied to Tang Xuanzong.
After the death of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, ministers called Zhang Emperor posthumous title and gave him a temple name, namely Xuanzong. The former is terrible, all good words, but there are problems. What's the matter? The temple number behind is an answer. Zhao Yan summed up some of his stories, benevolence, he is absolutely not, filial piety, but also nonsense. From this, we can't help but admire the wisdom of ancient ministers in playing word games, praise you a few words, and then hurt you a few words, and then we are even. You are just an emperor who is neither good nor bad, neither left nor right.
Historical records show that when the emperor was born, the empresses of the emperor usually took pains to list them one by one. Why? Because the empresses are helping the emperor to continue their children, princes, princes and princesses can't live without their mothers, but the history written is very strange in this respect, except for the birth of Prince Li? Apart from a brief introduction to the Chao family (Empress Yuan Zhao), the mothers of more than 20 other children rarely mentioned that the enemy talents died in childbirth. So, what about the other concubines? For example, how did Wu and Liu Shi die?
There is an example that can probably illustrate. It is said that local officials in Zhejiang once presented a beautiful woman, and Tang Xuanzong fell in love at first sight. In a few days, she was rewarded with countless treasures, but soon he suddenly announced that she was not allowed to stay! As soon as the ministers were obedient and murderous, they all suggested sending this beautiful woman back to her hometown, but Xuanzong said that I would consider letting her go. Can I have a cup of tuna? An innocent beauty was killed like this. Is he worried that he will indulge in debauchery and miss the state affairs? Hey hey, not necessarily. Beauty, tired of playing, kill, then find, then tired of playing, then kill, I'm afraid this can't be called benevolence.
I introduced Xiao Guo, the granddaughter of Guo Ziyi and the daughter of Princess Shengping, in previous articles. What a distinguished family! According to the etiquette system of the ancient royal family, Xiaoguo should be the nominal mother of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. After all, his birth mother is just a maid. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Xiaoguo had been the empress dowager for many years. When he acceded to the throne, well, Xiaoguo could only be the empress dowager. Nevertheless, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty should be filial and look at the Buddha instead of the monk. For the sake of his Lao Tzu Tang Xianzong's face, he can't turn against Empress Dowager Cixi, can he?
See how Tang Xuanzong treated Xiaoguo. It is rumored that Queen Mother Guo and both are suspected of murder. How is that possible? It makes no sense for a wife and son to murder her husband's father. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty believed it and immediately launched an investigation, thus reducing the daily expenses of the Empress Dowager. Queen mother Guo was depressed and angry. You don't recognize your parents. You boarded the Diligence Building and attempted suicide. Fortunately, you were found in time and failed. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty heard that the Queen Mother tried to commit suicide, instead of admonishing her, she flew into a rage. That night, Queen Mother Guo died suddenly. How did you die? Of course. How can this be called filial piety?

You Zhu Han Zhen is famous for his humor. He has a quick mind, can respond to the situation on the spot, and is extremely humorous. Tang Xuanzong was highly valued because he could entertain himself. One day, Zhu He talked about political issues and planned to protest. Tang Xuanzong immediately put a straight face and said, "I raise your children just for fun. I can't interfere in state affairs!" " ! From then on, he alienated him, and after his son took bribes, he beat his son to death and exiled him. So I don't listen, I don't like listening, and I can't even tolerate advice. Why talk about a word?
With this analysis, we can understand why Tang Xuanzong wrote a mourning poem for Bai Juyi, which is the product of his third face, hypocrisy or hypocrisy. With his outstanding literary name and good official voice, Bai Juyi not only won the hearts of scholars all over the world, but also won the reputation of loving and cherishing talents to cover up his narrow-minded and gloomy psychology. As Hu Ling, the Prime Minister, said in his residence: I have been in power for ten years, and the emperor trusted me very much, but never once did I sweat when I was playing in Yan Yingdian. The prime minister of the dynasty is still like this, let alone a player.
Similarly, Tang Xuanzong's indiscriminate killing of beautiful women was by no means afraid of losing his state in debauchery, but an attempt to cover up the ugly reputation of lust with the blood of beautiful women. "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" bluntly said that he was a lecherous and dissolute guy. He ate too many secret sex recipes, and he was finished in middle age. Taking inspection as a clear thinking, there is no intention of attaching importance to benevolence. Alas, naturally, the Tang Dynasty failed! This so-called monarch is actually more than these three faces. No wonder his posthumous title is so long and his life span in the Tang Dynasty is so short after his death.
