If Tang Xuanzong died before the Anshi Rebellion, he would definitely be one of the greatest emperors in China, surpassing Tang Taizong and competing for the top three, and he did not know what he was going to do in those years of life.
Tang Xuanzong's later years were indeed very faint, saying that he was faint and not faint, and there was a best reference object, that is, himself, a person compared with himself, which can be seen that when He was young, Li Longji and when he was old, it was completely the feeling of two people, especially as a generation of emperors, the elderly Li Longji did not have any feeling of a generation of Heroes at all.
One of the most obvious examples is the perception of danger, and the young Li Longji had a very keen perception of danger, because Li Longji himself came to power in a coup d'état.
Li Longji originally had no chance of becoming emperor, he was Li Dan's third son, and after Wu Zetian's death, the throne was inherited by Li Dan's brother Li Xian, so Li Longji was far from the throne no matter which line he looked at.
However, Li Longji relied on two brutal palace coups to turn himself from a marginal figure far from the throne to an emperor, the first time was to kill Wei Hou and his henchmen.
After Wu Zetian's death, a large number of female careerists rose, including this Wei Hou, her goal was very clear, she wanted to become the second Wu Zetian, and as a result, she whose ambition and strength did not match at all, was finally terminated by Li Longji, and this coup d'état eventually pushed Li Dan to the throne.
The second coup d'état was to remove her aunt Princess Taiping and her henchmen, who were in power at the time, and after this coup, Li Dan completely faded from the stage of history, and Li Longji began to show his skills and bring Datang into a new event.
At this time, Li Longji was obviously flexible in mind and ambitious, and at the same time very sensitive to danger, and people who started by coups d'état often had this nerve very tight.
To what extent, Li Longji only suspected that the prince was rebelling, and he killed the prince and two other children in one day, and the court massacre was a proper case, and the so-called causes and evidence were basically clichés, but it was because Li Longji was very sensitive to this kind of thing, so he would rather kill three of his sons by mistake than ensure the absolute safety of his imperial power.
It is not surprising that such a person who is extremely sensitive to danger blindly trusts An Lushan in his old age, and the Tang Dynasty has always had a tradition of reusing Hu generals.
The purpose of establishing this system of moderation is also to solve the economic problem of eating, wearing and training of frontline soldiers, and the system itself is not too serious, but the seriousness of this matter lies in the fact that Li Longji has lost his guard against danger.
An Lushan's moderation in a local area made him already regarded as a feudal official, but Li Longji actually made him a festival envoy who connected the three northern towns, with more than 100,000 soldiers and strong horses, and the moderation made him have the highest power in the local area, and the financial, judicial, and civil affairs were all returned to the moderation envoy.
In this way, Li Longji actually did not have the slightest doubt, at the beginning Li Longji did not even believe in his own son, and now a Hu person who is looking at the tiger can actually rely on pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, and infinitely win the trust of the emperor, is this still the original Li Longji?
In fact, this is the saddest part of human beings themselves, as they get older, people will gradually age, you still look at this person, but the whole idea, and when you were young, it is completely different, and in essence, it can even be seen as two people.
This is probably the saddest thing about all heroes, the hero is not terrible, the terrible thing is that he still thinks that he is right, that aura is still there, and others think that he will always be right.
As for spoiling Yang Yuhuan or something, this has nothing to do with fainting, when he was young, he also liked beautiful women, and Yang Guozhong was still capable of this person, very good at making money, which was also an important reason why Tang Xuanzong reused Yang Guozhong.
Li Longji's vitality was too tenacious, and even if he did not die before the Anshi Rebellion, he actually lived until his son Li Heng of Tang Suzong succeeded to the throne and returned to Chang'an.
In the end, he was snubbed and broken, and everyone felt that he was different from before, and he lived for a few more years, and the typical longevity was humiliating, and it could only be said that all this was fate.
