How mediocre was Tang Taizong in his later years?

The reasons for the mediocrity of Xuanzong in the later period of Tang Dynasty are as follows:

It's not too mediocre, it's more lazy. After creating the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, it is impossible not to enjoy the era of "Wuhua Tianbao". , "Anshi Rebellion.""It was a rebellion, not a people's uprising, which shows that the country is not on the verge of extinction, and this incident is not too difficult to deal with, but Tang Xuanzong's mansion has experienced decades of wealth and wealth, and its ambitions have long been exhausted.

In the face of the powerful An army, he first rashly sent troops to attack, and then fled west in fear of abandoning the capital, that is, arrogance and timidity became his true psychological portrayal, which was in stark contrast to the arrogant and ambitious San Lang back then. It's definitely not because of Yang Yuhuan, but without her, there would be no Yang Guozhong, the so-called beauty is not a sin, it's just the beginning of Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong, the front is bright and the back is dark, it is a pity, as the so-called "good beginning is many, good end is few". The prosperous era of Kaiyuan was created by him, and the Anshi Rebellion also started by him. In fact, he was as wise as Tang Taizong, and in his later years, he gradually used himself and went astray, such as the expedition to Goryeo, the establishment of Li Zhi as the crown prince, etc., if it was not for the early death, the result is difficult to say.

The emperor's power is too great, as virtuous as Taizong, and he has to rely on the continuous advice of Wei Zheng and others to avoid making mistakes.

There are very few emperors in later generations who can be like Tang Taizong! Tang Xuanzong Tianbao was also considered a hero before, appointing people on the basis of merit, and following advice, but unfortunately the evening was not guaranteed. It is really difficult for people to stay awake when they are in a high position, and Xuanzong's life has experienced the glory of the first half of his life, and he has also experienced the desolation of the second half of his life.

In fact, it also has a good educational significance for us ordinary people. It would be perfect if the first half and the second half of Xuanzong's life were cut out, but unfortunately the weakness of human nature cannot be avoided by most people.

(b) Sisters and brothers are all in the land, and they are pitiful and glorious. So he ordered the hearts of parents all over the world not to be born again male and female.

To be an official is to be an official

Those who have anything to do with Yang Yuhuan can be officials

The world is too gloomy ———

satirizes Tang Xuanzong's mediocrity in his later years and the corruption of the government.

Yang Guozhong relied on Yuhuan to become a big official

My wife died, and I found out that her true love was not him, or it was plausible, the woman who killed and hit the wrong person by mistake in the past can't be saved, and the brother-in-law still wants to rebel when his sister dies, can you not be sad?

1. In his later years, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, began to be unable to listen to "straightforward advice".

When Tang Taizong Li Shimin was young, he was very supportive of the outspoken advice of hundreds of civil and military officials, the most famous of which was Wei Zheng. Although Li Shimin was swept away by Wei Zheng when he was young, he looked at Wei Zheng's audience rationally, although he was often unhappy because of Wei Zheng's outspokenness, but in the end most of them humbly accepted Wei Zheng's words. Therefore, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, made great contributions in the early days and pushed the Tang Dynasty to a new height.

Second, Tang Taizong Li Shimin began to pursue immortality in his later years

Li Shimin's life merits and demerits are generally greater than demerits, but it is because of the great merits established by Li Shimin in his youth that the Tang Dynasty became very prosperous, which also made Li Shimin want to rule this prosperous empire for a long time, just like the former Qin Shi Huang, and want to conquer the world forever.

As a result, Tang Taizong Li Shimin began to seek more immortal medicines among the people, and took those so-called elixirs of immortality. Due to the excessive attention to this deviation, he has begun to ignore the government and politics, and his death has a lot to do with the long-term use of the so-called "elixir of immortality".

3. Great joy

In his later years, Li Shimin gradually got tired of complicated government affairs and began to like credit. Frequently sending troops to conquer the surrounding kingdoms, although the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, but the conquest was a very consuming thing, and although the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the surrounding kingdoms was victorious, but the actual harvest was not large, so this kind of conquest was actually useless to the Tang Dynasty, but exhausted the national strength.

Tang Taizong's most excessive point is to tamper with the history books, in order to be able to leave a good reputation in history, he has repeatedly asked the historian to show him the information, and according to his ideas to change, but there are rules in history that the emperor can not interfere with the behavior of the historian. And his actions left a very bad impact on future generations, and also undermined the authenticity of history. Therefore, Tang Taizong's thinking in his later years was relatively mediocre, and he was more greedy for pleasure, and he was also slack off on political affairs.

But on the contrary, he had a great interest in flooding the harem, and a generation of empress Wu Zetian was selected to enter the palace at this time, but he rarely favored Wu Zetian at that time, so it can be seen that he chose Wu Zetian to enter the palace at that time to fill the scene and not really like it.

In the later period of Tang Taizong, he ignored the government and increased the tax burden, making the people miserable, so he was unpopular, so in the eyes of the people, he became mediocre.
