[In 907 AD, Zhu Wen forced Emperor Aizong of Tang to abdicate, ascended the throne and established the Later Liang Dynasty, which had existed for 289 years. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period began.]

Tang Dynasty.

After hearing the words "the Tang Dynasty was about to fall", Li Shimin slumped dejectedly on the throne.

At this moment, his expression was very complicated, with pride and sadness intertwined, like an autumn maple leaf, withered but still with a warm fiery red.

He was proud of the longevity of the Tang Dynasty, which was the result of the joint efforts of him and countless descendants.

At the same time, he was also saddened by the decline of the Tang Dynasty. He felt like a wanderer who accidentally learned about the disappearance of his hometown on the long journey home.

Gazing at the 289-year rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty constantly flashing on the sky, from the glorious years in its early days to the turbulent wars in its later years.

Li Shimin sighed deeply, hiding his helplessness and unwillingness in his heart.

Its prosperity is also great, and its death is also sudden.

This sentence should be the most appropriate interpretation of the Tang Dynasty.

Well, there is no eternal dynasty in the world. It is enough for his Tang Dynasty to leave a mark in history books.

Li Shimin raised his glass high, looked at Changsun Wuji and others who also had complicated expressions, and shouted loudly: "Cheers to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Cheers to the Tang Dynasty! X+"

……

[After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains once again entered an era of great division. ]

[In 916, Yelü Abaoji ascended the throne and founded the Khitan state. ]

[In 923 AD, Li Cunxu ascended the throne and became emperor, which was known in history as the Later Tang Dynasty.]

——"This is Li Cunxu, the war god of the Later Tang Dynasty who conquered the world with three arrows and was known as the Little Taizong."

——"It's a pity that his father Li Keyong left too few arrows, otherwise he might have been able to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty."

——"When he put the three arrows back into the Imperial Ancestral Temple, declaring that the Central Plains had been settled and the imperial cause had been completed, he must have been so full of vigor and vitality!"

——"As long as my play lasts, the Tang Dynasty will not perish!"

——"Let others take this illusory Longquan treasure. Pass on my order and send troops to Bianzhou!"

[In 936 AD, Shi Jingtang obtained the help of Khitan at the cost of ceding the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and ascended the throne to become emperor, which was known in history as the Later Jin Dynasty.]

——"The child emperor Shi Jingtang, bah!"

——"Stop scolding me. I am not a Han Chinese."

[In 947 AD, Liu Hong proclaimed himself emperor in Kaifeng, which is known in history as the Later Han Dynasty.]

[In the same year, the Khitan changed the country's name to Liao.]

[In 951 AD, Guo Wei seized the throne, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Later Zhou Dynasty, and became the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty.]

……

At this moment, under the sky, the Central Plains region seemed to have returned to the Southern and Northern Dynasties again.

Regime changes are frequent, like shooting stars across the night sky, fleeting.

In just a few tens of seconds, more than a dozen countries appeared and quickly disappeared.

The five countries in the Central Plains were called the Five Dynasties, while the ten countries outside the Central Plains were called the Ten Kingdoms.

In this chaotic era, the Chinese land, which had finally restored its peace and tranquility, has once again become devastated.

Burning, killing and looting were everywhere, and cries of pain could be heard everywhere.

Moral laws no longer exist.

Regicide and usurpation of the throne became the norm.

The emperor takes turns, and it will be my turn next year. It will no longer be just an empty slogan.

Among these, what was most unacceptable to emperors and generals of all dynasties was the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Those are the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If this area is ceded to the Khitan, the Central Plains will be flat and there will be no barrier to defend.

Not only that, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is also the most important horse-breeding area.

How to fight nomadic peoples without war horses?

Countless times and spaces, countless people with lofty ideals are all angry at this moment.

Peddlers, emperors and generals.

There is one, count it as one.

Everyone was madly praising Shi Jingtang, and no one in Shi Jingtang's family could escape the "cordial" greetings.

Even his distant relatives, who were five generations apart, could not escape being greeted with some greetings.

Suddenly, the angry curses of eating lemons at eight in the morning resounded throughout every inch of China.

In the eyes of these people.

Failure is not terrible.

Even a talented person like Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty experienced the Siege of Baideng.

As wise as Emperor Taizong of Tang was, he also made the Wei River Alliance.

Under the pressure of the situation, it is not shameful to temporarily bow your head and swallow your anger. You should be braver after knowing the shame, and you will slowly settle the accounts in the future.

What is truly terrifying is losing one’s integrity!

Once your integrity is lost, your bones will become soft.

At that time, it will no longer be a matter of personal honor and disgrace, but the entire country and the entire nation will suffer.

As the condemnation of Shi Jingtang intensified in various times and spaces, the sky curtain continued to play.

Soon, it was an era of relative stability, economic prosperity, and cultural flourishing, but one that lacked bloodiness and bravery.

……

[In 959 AD, Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou, Chai Rong, passed away, and Emperor Gong of Later Zhou succeeded to the throne at the age of seven.]

——"Huh? Wasn't the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty surnamed Guo? How come he became Chai here?"

——"Chai Rong was adopted by Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. He always called himself Guo. The surname Chai was changed back by Zhao Da."

——"A little-known fact is that Chai Jin, the little whirlwind in Water Margin, is from the lineage of Chai Rong's biological father. That lineage had no legal basis to inherit the throne, so Zhao Da was so tolerant of the Chai family. It can be said that he was both the heir and the heir!"

[In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin, a general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, put on the yellow robe, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Song Dynasty, which is known in history as the "Chenqiao Mutiny." ]

[In 961 AD, Zhao Kuangyin gave up his military power over a cup of wine and began to emphasize culture over military power. ]

[After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it successively destroyed the Southern Han, Later Shu, Wuyue and other countries, and achieved formal unification. It coexisted with the Liao Dynasty and the Dangxiang. ]

——"Here comes another bully of orphans and widows."

——"Zhao Dacai was the one who liked to be both the emperor and the emperor. He wanted to be the emperor, but didn't want to be criticized, so he put on a yellow robe. He was afraid that his subordinates would follow suit and put on a yellow robe, so he gave up the military power with a cup of wine. He secretly killed all the descendants of Chai Rong, and then treated the descendants of Chai Rong's father well, showing that he treated the Zong family of the previous dynasty well."

——"Although he came to power illegitimately, he was still a great leader, with both civil and military skills. It's just that he brought misery to future generations."

——"I am late but I am here!"

——"Wow, the dynasty that has the most recitations in the entire text is six of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song, and there are a bunch of poems. It's really killing me."

——"You're a coward. You say he's strong, but he can't even push the line in a war. You say he's weak, but he's been resisting for more than 300 years."

——"The Song Dynasty was actually not weak. Not to mention the economy and technology, its military strength alone was not weak. Look at its opponents, they were basically the best in the world in terms of military strength. The fact that it could fight back and forth speaks volumes. It's just that the people in the court were too much of a drag."

——"A dynasty that kneels down to the Jin Dynasty and is willing to become a vassal state is really disgusting. Weak Song, weak Song, don't help to clean it up."

——"It's hard to say which one is worse, the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty. Perhaps it's more appropriate to call them twin brothers."
