At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, under the governance and rule of Emperor Taizong, a large number of enlightened policies were implemented at home and abroad, so the prosperous rule of Page View appeared in Taizong period. Later monarchs were also wise, especially in the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which led to unprecedented prosperity in the history of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, political harmony was everywhere.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, dynasty change was inevitable. There are several reasons for the demise of the Tang dynasty: first, the separatist forces are serious and the political power is scattered. Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the national strength has been declining. At the beginning of the founding of Tang Jianguo, in order to resist the invasion of all ethnic groups, the buffer region system was established. However, after many years, the influence of these buffers became stronger and stronger, and finally formed a powerful separatist force. With power, they began to look down on the regime of the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, they abide by the arrangement and will of the imperial court, but in fact they are secretly accumulating energy and going their own way. Therefore, the rule of the imperial court was seriously threatened.
Second, the internal chaos of the imperial court. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the struggle between the ruling and the opposition was fierce, and many political officials crowded out and attacked each other, resulting in many truly talented political talents being assigned to remote areas, while the central government did not have some reliable talents. In addition, eunuchs also joined the struggle, and their power became more and more powerful, which led to the chaos of the imperial court. Especially in the late Tang Muzong, eunuchs gained power, and their rule and power never lasted long.
Third, heavy taxes lead to the loss of public support. In the late Tang dynasty, the separatist forces were serious. In order to save their strength, those powerful separatist forces increased taxes on the people, but the court could not get this tax, so the state treasury became increasingly empty. In order to enrich the national treasury, the court had to impose the burden on the people, so the people fell into hot water again. In addition, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, due to a series of reasons, corrupt officials ran rampant and extorted money from the people. In this way, under the pressure of heavy taxes in these three aspects, the burden on the people is getting heavier and heavier, which in turn leads to the intensification of class contradictions.
Fourth, the Huang Chao Uprising intensified the road to the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Huang Chao Uprising is a famous peasant uprising in history. At that time, under the weak rule of the Tang government, people lived in poverty, so there were various uprisings, the most famous of which was Huang Chao. Insurgents from all over the country responded in succession, and Huang Chao's influence gradually increased, once attacking Chang 'an. However, because Huang Chao's thought was not enlightened and very cruel, everywhere he went was killing and blood, and the uprising ended in failure. Although the Huang Chao Uprising failed, it was a great blow to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Under such a blow, the power of the Tang Dynasty declined rapidly.
With these fatal problems, the Tang Dynasty is bound to perish. With the gradual decline of the Tang Dynasty and the gradual formation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the historical situation in China will undergo new changes.
The Tang Dynasty was finally destroyed by a man named Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen was an important figure in Huang Chao's army at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but later Zhu Wen saw clearly Huang Chao's shortcomings and abuses, so he returned to the Tang Dynasty, which was also one of Zhu Wen's ambitions. He thought that the Tang Dynasty would not last long, and he only returned to the imperial court to get in touch with the royal family better in order to usurp the throne. Later, Zhu Wen was highly valued by Tang Zhaozong in the imperial court. He wisely got rid of some eunuchs and dignitaries around Tang Zhaozong. Later, he simply imprisoned Tang Zhaozong and waited for an opportunity to kill Tang Zhaozong. Finally, Zhu Wen succeeded in seizing power through the famous "White Horse Rebellion", replacing the Tang Dynasty. In 907 AD, Liang was established in Zhu Wen, which, according to history, began in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
After the establishment of Hou Liang, some policies and measures that are very beneficial to the people have been implemented. However, Hou Liang's late rule was extremely cruel, which led to people's complaints. In the end, due to political tyranny, people lost their hearts and minds, and they also lost ground in the military, and their national strength declined day by day. At this time, the late Tang Dynasty rose.
