Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the video below made everyone in Datang angry.

[In the winter of the fourteenth year of the Tianbao reign, on December 755, AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.]

Datang

Emperor Minghuang Li Longji sat up straight. He wanted to see who the traitor was! He actually wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty. Although some people around him speculated, he still found it hard to believe without solid evidence.

He stared at the sky with his eyes fixed, determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

Now that his Tang Dynasty is prosperous and there is no one around who can fight, he wants to see how the Anshi Rebellion breaks out.

Gao Lishi, who was waiting nearby, looked at Li Longji like this and knew very well that he had never thought that the Hu man whom he respected was no longer as kind as he thought.

Li Shimin looked serious, and he felt heartbroken when he saw the Anshi Rebellion.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty built by several generations of people was destroyed by pleasure. How come Li Longji was able to do a good job in government in the first half of his life? Why is he useless when he is old?

The video continues.

[It was a bitterly cold night.

An Lushan, who was also the military governor of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, took his subordinate Shi Siming with him to attack the prime minister Yang Guozhong in the name of carrying out a secret imperial edict.

The rebellion started in Hebei. It was a shocking change. It caught people off guard. It was like a bolt from the blue and shook the Tang Empire, which had been peaceful for a long time.

An Lushan's troops marched southward with unstoppable force.

Tongguan, the last barrier to protect Chang'an, was lost half a year later.

The 72-year-old Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled Chang'an in the cover of night with thousands of imperial guards, his family and close associates. Such a powerful empire collapsed almost instantly.

The rebel An Lushan was precisely the person favored and promoted by the emperor. 】

Li Longji smashed the wine glass in his hand with a "bang", and everything on the imperial desk was swept off the table.

"It's really him?!" Li Longji couldn't believe it, his pupils widened and his face turned pale.

His eyes seemed to be oozing blood, and a feeling of rage at being deceived and betrayed surged into his head.

How dare he, how dare he! Obviously, obviously he valued him so much, not only gave him great power, but also gave him the post of governor of three towns, he also asked Yuhuan to adopt him as his godson, trying his best to please him.

Li Longji was filled with astonishment and confusion at this moment. How could he possibly rebel?

But Tianmu is a man of the future, and he knows everything about the past and present. Even if it doesn’t happen now, it doesn’t mean it can’t happen in the future.

[An Lushan was not only a loyal minister to Li Longji, but also a filial son. He was the adopted son of his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan and was raised by her. How could such a person rebel?

When the news of An Lushan and Shi Siming's rebellion reached Chang'an, Emperor Minghuang Li Longji did not believe it at all.

Li Longji, whose thoughts were exposed by Tianmu: ...

Indeed, what he was just thinking about was how his loyal ministers and filial sons could rebel, but he was slapped in the face the next second.

Li Shimin was a little annoyed. No, such a great power was given to one person, and he trusted An Lushan so much?

Is this Li Longji the father of An Lushan?

If the emperor abandons the city and flees, what will happen to his Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin could hardly imagine the tragedy that would happen later. His Tang Dynasty was truly controlled by one person. He was a wise ruler in prosperous times, but also a foolish ruler in old age.

[An Lushan's power and ambition finally punctured the bubble of splendor, and the long-hidden danger of the empire swept everyone in the most intense way.

Chang'an is no longer the glittering and colorful capital city.

Concubine Yang Yuhuan was suddenly pushed onto a road of no return to the underworld, and at the end of the road, they would be separated by heaven and earth.

The mutiny occurred on the third day of the emperor's escape to the west, when the imperial guards came to a halt at Mawei Slope.

The spearhead was directed at the Yang family, and Prime Minister Yang Guozhong was killed, but this still failed to quell the anger of the officers and soldiers.

They demanded that Yang Guozhong's sister, Yang Guifei, be charged with the same crime, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang needed to make a choice.

The source of the Anshi Rebellion was ultimately the fault of the rulers, but at this moment, her life was at stake as she sat on a lit powder keg.

The once-famous Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gave up his lover, and Yang Guifei, the beloved concubine, ended her life in this way.

Li Bai once wrote a poem for her: "The clouds resemble her clothes, the flowers resemble her face." Perhaps she herself did not expect that her ending would be like this.

All people in all dynasties: ...

Maweipo mutiny.

The king of a country executed the imperial concubine of the time.

Li Longji, who had just woken up from his dream of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, listened to all these things. How could he do that? How could he execute his Yuhuan?

Yang Yuhuan in the harem looked at the face in the bronze mirror, which was fair and flawless. She was proud of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but what if this dynasty fell?

A line of tears could not help but fall, wetting her dress and leaving some traces.

Yang Guozhong had already been frightened and panicked. How could he allow himself to die in the future?

Thinking of Yang Yuhuan in the palace, she only hoped that His Majesty would not blame her. She closed her eyes in despair, packed up her things, and went into the palace to apologize.

[After Li Longji strangled Yang Guifei to death, he fled to Chengdu with the remaining generals and survived.

This also marked the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's "nine moves of the emperor and six surrenders of the capital."

There may be corruption in politics, depletion of wealth, collapse of military forces, and disasters in the country, but as long as there are people who maintain the "Great Way", the historical lifeline of China will not be broken.

The fallen city of Chang'an was dilapidated, desolate and dead silent.

Crown Prince Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu and became Emperor Suzong of Tang. The Tang Dynasty came to an end quietly.

Li Longji, who was still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at this moment: ...

The people of the Tang Dynasty looked at the sky silently. The Tang Dynasty was their pride, but if the Tang Dynasty was defeated, would the surrounding countries be stable?

Among the group of emperors, the emperor behind them also discussed it endlessly.

Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Those who are not of our race must have different hearts, but the Tang Emperor highly values ​​the Hu people, listens to the words of Prime Minister Li Linfu, and uses the Hu general An Lushan, allowing him to hold power alone. It is really chilling.

Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty: That’s right, it would be great if we could make use of civil officials, so that the Han people’s country would not be in danger.

Kublai Khan: That’s why your Song Dynasty had the opportunity to be destroyed.

Zhao Gou: ...

Emperors of the Song Dynasty: ...

Zhu Di: Not only are the Hu people in power, but the civil officials within the Tang Dynasty are also in power, and treacherous officials are in power, which is also a big problem. Even if there was no An Lushan, there would be others. The Tang Dynasty is bringing about its own destruction, and the root of the disaster is difficult to eliminate.

Yinzhen: I am the only one who destroyed the Tang Dynasty. The Tang army is fighting against another Tang army. The old Emperor Minghuang no longer has the loyal ministers who ruled the country at the beginning. Instead, he is surrounded by Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and others.

The young Li Longji, who was preparing to do something big, suddenly felt a darkening. Was it really him above the sky?

I really can't imagine that he will look like this when he is old in the future.

[A major turning point in Chinese history took place hastily amidst war and chaos.
