Tang Wenzong Li Ang was also a king. Why was he heartbroken by the living eunuch?
Tang Wenzong is an ambitious young man. Historically, during his reign, he hated women, listened to the DPRK diligently and acted frugally. It also reformed the extravagant style, including ordering the abolition of many things that waste people and money. Perhaps his ideal in life was to revive the Tang Dynasty, and he was one of the few aspiring emperors in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that all this is in vain. He is just a puppet.

Li Ang, whose real name is Xiao, is the second son, younger brother and mother. Later, the eunuch became the emperor, and the eunuch had great power. On the eighth day of December in the second year of Bao Li's reign (826), eunuch Liu Keming killed Tang Jingzong and issued a letter welcoming Wu Li, the son of Tang Xianzong, into the palace as emperor. Two days later, eunuchs Wang Shoucheng and Liang Shouqian commanded the Shence Army to enter the palace, killed Liu Keming and Wu Li, the crimson king, made Li Ang emperor and changed the title to "Taihe". It can be seen from here that Li Ang was a puppet emperor, and eunuchs could kill the first emperor at will. He certainly lived up to expectations.

During this period, the most famous party struggle between Niu and Li took place in the Tang Dynasty. The party constitution of Niu and Li means that many speculators unite to attack each other for self-interest. Those honest ministers have become victims of their struggle. In this situation, the power of state affairs is completely controlled by eunuchs, including the life and death of the emperor. So Tang Wenzong has always wanted to regain power, launch a coup and regain power. Needless to say, Zheng Zhu and Li Xun were chosen as counselors and prime ministers to plan for the "change of manna" in the future.

On November 21st, the ninth year of Taihe (835), when the first dynasty was in Chenziting, General John Jinwu reported that the pomegranate tree occupied by Sarginge lost nectar at night. So they conspired to say that the main road was fake and let the eunuch check the authenticity. However, due to the leakage of the plan, the eunuch retaliated, and after some fighting, the eunuch finally won. After the incident, Li Ang was placed under house arrest by eunuchs. State affairs were monopolized by eunuchs, and eunuchs began to be unorganized and despised by literators. Literati drink all day and end up depressed. Five years later (840), he died in Chang 'an Palace at the age of 31. Completely controlled by eunuchs, life is naturally not dominated by itself.
