The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that many Chinese people liked, and the Tang Dynasty's military power was very strong and its attitude towards its neighbors was also very tough. Many people think of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and their first reaction is Li Shimin, in fact, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan. Li Yuan revolted in Taiyuan, and although Li Shimin performed well, Li Yuan's ability was not bad. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, many separatist forces revolted, and Li Yuan also had some ideas, he was hesitating whether it was an uprising, and later he was caught in the strategy of others, had no choice but to rebel and establish the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan and Yang Guang are still related, and many people do not know. The Dugu Empress was Li Yuan's sister-in-law, so Yang Guang and Li Yuan were cousins. Yang Guang was still good to Li Yuan and gave Li Yuan a lot of rewards. However, Yang Guang led his army to attack Goguryeo three times, coupled with the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, resulting in a weakening of national strength. Years of tax increases have led to complaints from the common people, and some warlords have already revolted.
Li Yuan has been operating in Taiyuan for many years, he has a certain strength, he also wants to win the world, but he has been hesitant. One of his men came up with a plan that made him finally make up his mind.
The Sui Emperor built the Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan, and Yang Guang lived in the Jinyang Palace when he arrived in Taiyuan. This palace usually has a handle, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, the administrator is Pei Huan, Pei Huan and Li Yuan are very familiar.
Pei Huan and Li Yuan were drinking at Jinyang Palace one day, and not only that, Pei Huan also found two beautiful singers and prostitutes to accompany Li Yuan. Accompanied by fine wine and beautiful women, coupled with Pei Huan's repeated persuasion to drink, Li Yuan drank a lot and got drunk. After getting drunk, Li Yuan, unconscious, entered the emperor's bedroom accompanied by a prostitute, and Li Yuan slept in the emperor's dragon bed until dawn.
After Li Yuan woke up, his jaw dropped in shock, and he slept in the emperor's dragon bed, which was a capital offense. The world was already in chaos, the masses were divided, and Li Yuan, who had been hesitant, had no choice but to rebel. Li Yuan is not stupid, this is a trap set by his old friend Pei Huan, but it is too late to say anything.
After Li Yuan's Taiyuan uprising, the fight was still very smooth. He had two good sons, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were both generals who could fight good battles, and Li Yuan's Tang army broke through the separatist forces one by one, and finally swept the world and established the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Shimin can recruit good wars, when fighting abroad, many macro policies are formulated by Li Yuan. As the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was qualified to be called the Emperor of the Ages.
