How to evaluate Tang Xuanzong?
Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, is a controversial figure in the long history and a generation of emperors with prominent contradictions. Throughout his life, it is at least certain that Li Longji still had political ambitions and political means before his later years. How to evaluate Tang Xuanzong, I think we should evaluate him from his personal identity, that is, from the perspective of emperor identity, and analyze it with my humble opinion.

First, be ambitious and keep a low profile.

There is no denying that Li Longji was an ambitious and highly skilled young talent when he was young, especially during the prince's period. By the end of Wu Zhou, the power of state affairs was in the hands of women, whether it was Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, Queen Wei and others, those consorts were also in power. Li Longji was able to seize power from these people, especially his aunt Princess Taiping, and ascended the throne, which proved his ability. It can also be called a model of larded science. First, he quietly colluded with Taiping to kill Queen Wei, and then he killed Taiping, forcing his father to abdicate and take power alone. It can be seen from all these that Li Longji was a very powerful politician, and everything he showed in this period was the characteristics of a great emperor.

Second, I especially favor network celebrities and protect treacherous court officials.

The super network celebrity I'm talking about is Yang Yuhuan, known as Yang Guifei in history. In that era when obesity was the beauty, Yang Yuhuan was equivalent to Fan Bingbing now, but now the aesthetic standards are different. The whole country was fascinated by the beauty of Yang Yuhuan. Except for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the literary leaders at that time were not proud of knowing the imperial concubine, and this online celebrity was melodious and good at dancing, just like a superstar now. Li Longji is also an affectionate advocate. They are both harps and harps. Love each other very much, have a common artistic pursuit, and are nourished physically and mentally. It is not surprising that Li Longji spoiled Yang Yuhuan. It should be said that it is strange not to cherish Yang Yuhuan. As for some readers, Yang Yuhuan is Li Longji's daughter-in-law, which is not a matter of the Tang Dynasty. Don't ask the ancients with the current vision and moral standards. At that time, people were really well-deserved heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Treacherous court official, in which dynasty there were few so-called treacherous court officials, but who didn't like the treacherous court officials we see now? !

Third, it is a disaster for the country and the people, and it is ruined.

In the late Tang Xuanzong, An Shi Rebellion broke out, and the final result was almost destroyed. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yang Guifei was killed, and it was unfair for Li Longji to save her life. It is unfair to blame Yang Yuhuan for the Anshi Rebellion and the defeat. The most important thing is that in the later period of Li Longji's administration, he was groggy, powerless and arbitrary, losing morale and popular support. In the end, morale was unstable. At this time, at the end of the road, Li Longji didn't hesitate to do or die, so he threw Yang Yuhuan out. In the eyes of ancient emperors, the choice did not seem too difficult. I like you, even love you, but someone threatens my throne. I'm sorry, only sacrificing you can save me. So, Yang Yuhuan, you can help me. You will live in my heart forever. I think this may be Li Longji at that time. Love can give way to the throne and must give way. At this time, Li Longji, after being in a daze for more than ten years, once again exposed the cruelty and selfishness in his bones and personally ended this relationship.

Everyone is complicated, especially the feudal emperor. For them, anyone can trade anything except the throne, because they know that the throne is equal to life. Without the throne, life is gone. They are the so-called sons of heaven. How could the son of heaven die?
