As a temple name, "Wuzong" has a preference for force, openly praising and secretly derogating. Li Yan has been emperor for six years, and he is indeed a ruler who prefers force. He expelled Uighurs from abroad and suppressed the buffer region at home, which was a rare "martial art" in the late Tang Dynasty. No matter how bad it is, it's much better than Tang Zhaozong being bullied by various buffer regions.
Wu Zong's repeated use of troops reflected his great ambition, but he was inevitably overjoyed. Zhao Fan Ceng suggested that TaBaSi people send troops to recover Anxi and Beiting, but the Tang Dynasty was not what it used to be. Fortunately, Li Deyu is a wise man, exhorting Wu Zong that Anxi and Beiting are far away from Chang 'an, and it is a waste of people and money to reset Duhufu. Whether Tuoba Jiasi is an enemy or a friend is unknown. It is really not worth the loss to recover lost ground. This may also make.
Fortunately, the emperor himself was sober, otherwise, according to the national strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time, he would inevitably be accused of militarism. However, it can be seen from this that since I really thought about it, Li Deyu would not have written to remonstrate that "Your Majesty should not regret it".
Although the eunuch power was basically suppressed during the reign of Wu Zong, the deep-rooted eunuch dictatorship in the late Tang Dynasty was not eliminated because of the short six-year rule of Wu Zong. Wu Zong, who was addicted to the immortal way and wanted to live forever, ate three kinds of unlicensed elixirs from Taoist priests and died of poisoning at the age of 33. Eunuch forces still dominate the world behind Wu Zong, pushing his uncle Tang Xuanzong, who is also trying to play dumb to survive, to the throne.
Abstract: Li Chen was the last emperor in the whole history of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't live up to posthumous title, the "Little Emperor Taizong", but at this time, the Tang Dynasty was already terminally ill, and he couldn't hold up this building that was about to collapse with one hand. In 859, Li Chen died. Since then, the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty has plummeted, and there is no bright spot at all.
