Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

[A major turning point in Chinese history took place hastily in the midst of war and chaos]

In 759 AD, the two armies launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Yecheng, Hebei.

The Tang Dynasty once collapsed completely. In order to replenish its troops, the government frantically conscripted people from all over the country.

The war lasted for several years, various forces were drawn in, and the war continued to spread.

The once prosperous Tang Dynasty was now in mourning. Almost the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were deserted and desolate.

According to rough statistics, during this turmoil that lasted more than seven years, about 30 million people were displaced and died in war or famine. This was a comprehensive and severe shock from top to bottom, and no one was spared.

As the war was about to break out in the wilderness, people died in an endless stream, including many farmers.

After listening to this, Li Longji felt his headache getting worse, and he immediately ordered people to search for An Lushan and Shi Siming.

Li Shimin watched the scene unfold and felt that he had experienced the feelings of the Ming Dynasty emperor and the First Emperor. A prodigal son is not scary. What is scary is that his own prodigal son ruins the family.

The Tang Dynasty relied on treacherous ministers, believed in slander, and indulged in pleasure. When disaster struck, it abandoned the city and fled. This was the end of the Tang Dynasty.

[Perhaps evil will be punished by evil.]

An Lushan died at the hands of his son, who was in turn killed by Shi Siming, who was then killed by his own son.

Li Linfu was once jealous of talented people, but in the end, due to false accusations by Yang Guozhong, his property was confiscated and his descendants were exiled.

And the times continue. 】

Hearing that all the criminals of the Tang Dynasty were dying one after another, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others shook their heads and sighed.

No matter what, the prosperous Tang Dynasty will never return. If there is no leader to revive the country, it will continue to decline and eventually perish.

The few people who were told the ending by Tianmu were also somewhat in disbelief. Their lives were ended like this, which was really too hasty.

[In the spring of 763 AD, the Tang army finally won.

Neither Emperor Retired Li Longji nor Emperor Suzong of Tang could see this ending.

During the nearly 300 years of Tang Dynasty history, the An-Shi Rebellion occurred only in the middle period.

However, it fundamentally shook the superstructure of the empire, weakened the central authority, left the trouble caused by the feudal lords unsolved, caused unrest in people's lives, and made the borders unstable.

For the next 150 years, the Tang Dynasty faded away and could never revive again.

As Du Fu wrote, "Those who are alive are just trying to survive, while those who are dead are gone forever."

(From "Shihao Li", meaning: The living can live one day at a time, and the dead will never be resurrected.

It reflects the profound disaster that the war caused by the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty brought to the general public, and expresses the poet's deep sympathy for the working people.

Yes, the era of the Tang Dynasty has passed, and the remaining disasters have not yet been eradicated. If the subsequent emperors do nothing, the country will really be doomed to destruction.

But judging from Tianmu's tone, even if the emperor behind him took that action, it might not have much effect.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. Where was the prosperous Tang Dynasty? Was it just going downhill like this?

He is now very dissatisfied with his descendant. He is a good and wise ruler who should do his job thoroughly. Why did he give up halfway through?

It’s so terrible!

Li Longji thought that Du Fu was just a minor official at the moment, and since Tianmu mentioned him, he must have accomplished something.

Seeing his own Emperor Taizong calling him frantically in the emperor group, Li Longji shrank his head and said, "Stop scolding, stop scolding. He is already changing!"

He made a mistake, why doesn't he correct it?

Hearing the response, Li Shimin put down his hands, really, these foolish descendants deserve a lesson.

Zhu Di thought of the reasons for the demise of previous dynasties and couldn't help but become alert, but it seemed that history could not be stopped. He calmed down and continued to handle government affairs. He transferred the prince to the military camp for training, and now he had a headache facing the government affairs.

Sure enough, the battlefield is more suitable for him!

The emperors of other dynasties also smiled when they saw the screen full of messages in the group chat. It was true that it was better to eat other people's melons.

"Our country does not accept refugees. The lessons of history are too painful."

"The key point is that he killed the generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, but used Geshu Han, who was sick and disabled at home. I don't know what he was thinking."

"Think about Li Longji's temple name, half man, half god, very mysterious."

"Don't forget, the most talked about thing now is that he stole his daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan. An old man and a beautiful girl, I don't know who has been talking about this love, how can it be a match?"

"Dirty Tang and sloppy Song, it's not surprising, it's not surprising, some of our ancestors' special features are hard to agree with, but the incest in the Tang Dynasty, well, it's very cool and unrestrained."

"Speaking of Yang Yuhuan, I remembered something I read not long ago that said Yang Yuhuan was the earliest stand-in literature, because Li Longji's favorite concubine, Wu Huifei, was also Yang Yuhuan's mother-in-law, hahahaha."

"But it's a bit hard to say that Yang Yuhuan is innocent. As famous as her beauty is the Yang family's extravagance and debauchery. It's said that the Yang family's servants could whip the princess, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"But Yang Yuhuan's favorite fruit is not lychees, but pomegranates. "A horseman rides through the dusty streets, and the concubine smiles. No one knows that it is lychees coming." Who likes lychees, Emperor Xuanzong or Yang Guifei? "

"It can only be said that it is fate and time. The Yang family enjoyed a lot as foreign relatives, and they also played a part in the fall of the Tang Dynasty. The sisters, brothers, and cousins ​​of the Yang family held many official positions in the court, and what they did for the people is all clearly recorded in history books."

……

Wow, seeing the gossip about the Tang Dynasty, the eyes of the onlookers lit up.

Although history seems heavy and distant to them, they are still interested in looking at interesting events of various dynasties from time to time.

Tang Dynasty: ...

Big man:......

Song Dynasty: ...

Dynasties not mentioned: Fortunately, fortunately, they escaped.

Really, if we talk about the Tang Dynasty, then we should talk about the Tang Dynasty. Why are you still hurting people recklessly, Tianmu? Why do you take them with you?

Li Shimin couldn't hold back when he thought of Tianmu's behavior. No, what was wrong with his Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how Wu Zetian, who was his talented woman, later became his son's woman; and then Emperor Xuanzong of Tang came and snatched his daughter-in-law.

Erfeng: Who asked you unworthy descendants to learn these things!

Seeing the servants whipping the princess, some people were in disbelief. She was a princess, and yet she was bullied by a servant. It seemed that the Yang family was really in power at that time.

Many dynasties felt the same when they heard about the oppression by external relatives. It was really difficult. If you were not careful and ran into a good-for-nothing and was persuaded by someone, the dynasty would be in danger!
