Chapter 106 4. The personal resume of Yizong Li Wei

There is another important reason why Xuanzong became Xuanzong. He died relatively early.After his death, two major events happened one after another. One was that Qiu Fu, a native of eastern Zhejiang, was discordant and caused mass incidents;The former is fine, the key is the latter.Historian Ouyang Xiu firmly believes that the second incident is tantamount to directly declaring the doom of the Tang Empire. These two incidents, no coincidence, were both met by the unlucky Yizong Li Wei. But what kind of person is Yizong Li Wei?Why did he encounter strange things that no one else could encounter?

To figure this out, we have to start with his resume: Personal file of Li Wei, the eighteenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Yizong: Name: Li Wei Former name: Li Wen Born: November 14th, the seventh year of Taihe, AD 833 Birthplace: Chang'an Mansion Chinese Zodiac: Ox Year of death: Xiantong fourteen years, AD 873, at the age of forty-one cause of death: Specialties: banquet entertainment social relationship: Father: Xuanzong Li Chen Mother: Chao Shi Wife: Wang Son: Hachiko Daughter: Yau Mental journey: 0 years old: born 3 years old: The Ganlu incident happened, and the leadership team with the eunuch Qiu Shiliang as the core successfully smashed Wenzong Li Ang's political conspiracy

8 years old: Wen Zong Li Ang died of depression, Wu Zong Li Yan succeeded to the throne 13 years old: Huichang Fa is difficult, Wu Zong destroys Fa 14 years old: Emperor Wuzong Li Yan died, and his father Li Chen succeeded to the throne in the name of Emperor Taishu, who was Emperor Xuanzong 14 years old: was named the king of Yun 27 years old: Father Xuanzong died, and his third brother Li Zi was appointed emperor by his will.He entrusted Li Zi to the eunuchs Wang Guichang and Ma Gongru who had no military power.The two discussed how to get rid of Wang Zongshi, who had mastered the military power, so they falsely passed on the imperial decree and ordered Wang Zongshi to go to Huainan Town as an army supervisor.Just as Wang Zongshi was about to leave, the people around him reminded him: why not take the opportunity of farewell to visit the emperor?So Wang Zongshi went into the palace and found that Xuanzong was dead.He scolded Wang Guichang and Ma Gongru for falsely preaching the imperial decree. Wang Guichang and Ma Gongru had a hard time arguing, and watched the angry Wang Zongshi establish Li Wen, the eldest son of Xuanzong.Changed his name to Li Yu and became Yizong

28 years old: Qiu Fu in eastern Zhejiang made a mass incident, led 320,000 people, divided into 32 teams, and captured Xiangshan. 29 years old: Nanzhao engaged in separatism, blatantly declared independence in the south, and established Dali 30 years old: Wuning soldiers refused to listen to dispatch, killed and expelled officials, observed that Wang Shi led his troops to surround them, and slaughtered thousands of people 31 years old: Nanzhao separatists invaded Annan 36 years old: The expeditionary army attacked Dali and asked for rest. The court said: Don't ask if you have rested, but ask why you haven't sacrificed for the country?So all the soldiers rebelled, and judged Pang Xun as the leader, and fought thousands of miles, causing chaos in the world

36 years old: Under the kind care and concern of Emperor Yizong, the world's earliest printed matter "Diamond Sutra" came out 37 years old: Annihilated the Pang Xun gang.At that time, there was a severe drought in Henan, and the people sued Cui Xiao, the observation envoy.Cui Luo pointed to the tree in the garden and said: "Aren't there leaves on the tree?"What drought?It's pure nonsense... So the masses started mass incidents, Cui Luo absconded, met people on the road, asked for water, and the people poured urine on them 38 years old: Dali's invading army attacked Chengdu, failed, and the defense of Chengdu ended successfully

38 years old: The most beloved Princess Tongchang died just two years after her marriage.Yizong was so sad that he killed more than 20 imperial doctors and arrested more than 300 family members.Prime Minister Liu Zhan persuaded the fight, and demoted Prime Minister Liu Zhan to Sihu. 41 years old: Mercury is the pool, gold and jade are the trees, driving thousands of people, and the capital is moving. The Tang Empire welcomes the Buddha bone relics into Beijing.Emperor Yizong made a speech and said: Buddha bone is a good thing, it can bless me to live a few more years... before I finished speaking, I died.So the historian commented: "The bone of the Buddha just entered the Yingmen, and Long Dun has already wept in the wilderness."It means: Buddha bones are here, you are dead...

From this resume, we found a strange thing.From this time on, the Tang Empire began to enter a rational stage, characterized by the fact that the feudal towns disappeared after a long period of attrition.But at the same time, the Tang Empire didn't seem to be aware of this change. They still stayed in the old habit of thinking and failed to keep up with the development and changes of the situation. What does this change in the situation mean, and why did the Tang Empire fail to keep up with the change in the situation? This has a lot to do with Yizong Li Wei's personal character.
