The dynasty I'm talking about is the Tang Dynasty. Although it has a total history of 298 years, people thought that the Tang Dynasty was already dead from the Anshi Rebellion. Is that really the case? The answer is obvious. After the Anshi Rebellion, 150 years still existed in the Tang Dynasty.
An Lushan actually wanted to use foreign countries to balance Prince Hengli's Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. Originally, Tang Xuanzong felt that he could play everything well, but his strength was not enough. In the end, An Lushan served as Pinglu, Hedong and Fanyang, and controlled one third of the military power in the Tang Dynasty.
Although An Lushan controlled these forces from the beginning, Li still existed at that time. It can be said that a large part of the credit for An Lushan's appreciation is attributed to Prime Minister Li, because Li Jing often recommended An Lushan to do various official positions, and Li wanted to use An Lushan to balance Gershohan and others.
While Li was here, An Lushan's every move was watched by Li. An Lushan thought that Lee would stage a coup, so he was particularly afraid of Lee. He expects nothing. As a result, Li died later, and the Anshi Rebellion lost its bondage. He was eyeing the Tang Dynasty.
After careful consideration, An Lushan joined forces with Shi Siming to rise up and beat Emperor Xuanzong out of the water, caught off guard. What was advanced and developed in politics, economy and culture in the Tang Dynasty collapsed rapidly in a short time, and the people were miserable, and the Tang Dynasty completely turned from prosperity to decline.
The result in An Lushan is not good either. As sinners who dragged the Tang Dynasty into the abyss, An Lushan and Shi Siming were both killed by their sons in the end, which seems like karma.
During the Anshi Rebellion, after the change of Maweipo, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, abdicated, and Prince Hengli succeeded Tang Suzong. Shortly after Tang Suzong's rule, he sailed the crane west and passed the throne to his son Tang Daizong. At this time, although the Anshi Rebellion had been suppressed, Tubo took the opportunity to hijack it in Tang Dynasty. Because of the existence of Guo Ziyi, the safety of Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was guaranteed, but the Tang Dynasty was unrecognizable at this time.
After Tang Daizong's death, Tang Dezong succeeded to the throne. The emperor likes to earn money and is not familiar with the military, so that the Hebei buffer region revolted together. Jingyuan Chang 'an mutiny was captured by the disorderly army, which was terrible. I feel that at this time, the Tang Dynasty has existed in name only, and anyone can bully him, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Tang Dynasty continues to linger.
After Tang Dezong, he also went through Tang Shunzong, Tang Xianzong, Tang Muzong, Tang Jingzong, Tang Wenzong, Tang Wuzong, Emperor Xuanzong, Tang Yizong, Emperor Xizong and Emperor Zhaozong. Some of these emperors still worked hard for the revival of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the rotten hole is too big to turn the tide.
Under Tang Xizong, things got worse. This guy just plays all day, so that Huang Chao happens and Li Keyong and Zhu Wen rise. After his death, Tang Zhaozong could do nothing, and was finally killed by Zhu Wen. After Zhu Wen killed him, Tang Aidi became a puppet emperor, and Zhu Wen regarded the emperor as a vassal.
However, within a few days of Zhu Wen's play, everyone was killed. Zhu Wen's cruelty makes people feel terrible. After Zhu Wen's bloodbath, the Tang Dynasty ended completely and entered the chaotic period of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. From the Anshi Rebellion to Tang Aidi, it took more than 150 years, which was also the worst history of the Tang Dynasty.
People think that the Tang Dynasty ended after the An Shi Rebellion. Mainly in name only in the late Tang Dynasty, it was completely two dynasties, one in the sky and one underground. People don't want to understand these sad and humiliating histories. What they want to see more is the pride of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is not a question of history, but a question of human thought.
Of course, we also have to accept that there is a cruel place in reality, that is, in troubled times, a large number of historical materials can not be preserved. We can get a general idea of those chaotic times in history. There are few historical records in general, and even the survival of eating is a problem. Where can someone go dancing and writing? Even if someone records some, it is difficult to keep them. This is also one of the main reasons why people thought it was over after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. Future generations should sort out, analyze and summarize history according to some previous materials. Without data to analyze, they naturally dare not fabricate history out of thin air.
For example, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there were so many outstanding poets and painters whose works were preserved. Even if there are no other historical records later, future generations can analyze the history of that time from their works. As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and the country is in danger. How does a horse survive?
