Which kings in history have changed from a bad king to a male king?

As the saying goes, three years old is a lifetime, just like an exam. A school scum is already a school scum. Unless you encounter a bug-level examiner for help, it is generally difficult to fight back, so it is difficult to change from fatuous to wise. In addition to Chu Zhuangwang's own good foundation, everyone's expectation of him is naturally the overlord of a generation. But he put all his energy into eating, drinking and having fun, and he is fully capable of saying that Phoenix has become a blockbuster overlord after three years of silence.

I didn't expect the puppet emperor to be fatuous. He never imagined that no one except him in the history of the world, except the powerful minister, fought back all the way and became a generation of wise masters.

His background is quite low, some of them are concubines, and their names are wrong. He is still a stupid idiot. He became emperor in order to make the stupid history of Emperor Jinhui and make more jokes about why he didn't eat meat porridge. However, he accidentally tripped over the powerful minister who used his mental retardation to manipulate state affairs. Quan Chen is a very smart person. He used an idiot, but he didn't expect to become an idiot and be used by smart people. Because the story is so wonderful, it has become the last brilliant planning script of wireless TV station today. Let's tell this story.

Among the 22 emperors in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Li, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, is undoubtedly the most legendary one.

Because he grew up, he has always been regarded as a "mentally retarded person."

In Chang 'an, almost everyone who knows him thinks so.

From the fifth year of Yuan Hesheng (8 10) to the sixth year of Huichang's accession to the throne (846), he has hardly enjoyed the real treatment of a prince for 36 years. Moreover, when Wu Zong was dying and the political forces of Daming Palace were fiercely competing for the new king candidate, he was wandering somewhere far away from Chang 'an, knowing nothing. ......

However, people who know him will never dream of it. It seems that overnight, the crafty hand of the historical old man pushed this once "mentally retarded person" to the golden palace of the Tang Dynasty and transformed him into the 18th emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

What is even more incredible is that after Li Chen acceded to the throne, generate suddenly showed unprecedented courage, wisdom and boldness, which not only wiped out the "Party struggle between Niu and Li" that plagued the empire for half a century, but also greatly curbed the hegemonic forces of vassals and eunuchs, and finally recovered the whole territory of Hehuang that fell into the hands of Tubo for nearly a hundred years, creating a unique final glory in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

From "mentally retarded people" to exiles, to traveling monks, he finally became the king of the world and became a powerful emperor ... Li Chen's life was ups and downs and magnificent, which completely exceeded people's imagination.

So, how did all this happen?

Li Chen is the 13th son of Tang Xianzong Chunli, the younger brother of Hengli and Tang Muzong, and the uncle of Jing Zong, Wenzong and Wuzong emperors. How can such a noble prince be regarded as a fool for the whole first half of his life?

Everything has to start from scratch.

Li Chen was originally named Li Yi. Although he is the biological son of Xianzong, he was later named King of Light, but he is an unmarried woman-his mother Zheng is just a humble maid-in-waiting. Because of her humble mother's status, Li Yi, the king of light, naturally could not enjoy the honor of other princes after her birth, and she could only grow up alone in an unknown corner. Therefore, since he was a child, he looked unhappy and dull, often kept silent, and lived in groups with other princes all day. After growing up, this situation has not improved, but has become more and more serious. It is speculated that this may be related to a scare he encountered in Mu Zong's time. At that time, the officials of King Guang met with Queen Yi 'an. Unexpectedly, he just bumped into an official who wanted to assassinate him. Although it was a near miss-this incident did not cause any casualties, since then, King Guang has become more reticent. Royal relatives in the Sixteenth Palace (the residence of Prince Li Tang's imperial clan) thought that this dull guy must have been scared silly this time.

Since then, the King of Light has become the object of special teasing and teasing, regardless of the size of the occasion. Once, Emperor Wenzong gave a banquet in honor of the king in the Sixteenth Palace. During the dinner, everyone laughed and laughed, but the king of light was silent. Literati made fun of him and said, "I will reward whoever can make Uncle Guang talk!" Kings rushed into the crowd and played jokes on him in various ways. But this uncle guang is always like a piece of wood. No matter how much people tease him, he doesn't even move his mouth. Looking at his resignation, everyone was happier. Literati laughed my head off and burst into laughter.

But just then, a young prince suddenly stopped smiling.

This prince is the later Wu Lizong.

Although Li Yan was also very enthusiastic when he teased the King of Light just now, now he suddenly feels that a person can be unmoved by all foreign objects at any time and on any occasion. If he is not stupid, it is unfathomable!

Li Yan suddenly felt a little shudder. He subconsciously felt that the King of Light probably belonged to the latter.

After Li Yan ascended the throne, the feeling of chilling many years ago always lingered.

Li Yan, a student of Wuzong, feels more and more that King Guang is likely to be hiding something unknown in his heart. If so, then he, the son of heaven, can't be indifferent to this.

Leaving such an unfathomable person around will be a disaster sooner or later!

As a result, all kinds of "accidents" frequently came to the king of light. Either I suddenly fell off my horse while playing polo with the emperor, or I tripped over something while walking in the palace and slipped down the steps ... In short, I was black and blue all over.

On a snowy afternoon, King Guang and other leaders went out with the son of heaven. During this time, they got together to hold a banquet and drink. When they returned to the palace after drinking, it was getting late and everyone was a little drunk. No one noticed that the hapless uncle Guang once again "accidentally" fell off his horse and fainted in the ice and snow.

The heavy snow flying all over the sky soon covered him.

Li Yan, the religious leader of Wu, knows that Uncle Guang, who "slipped and fell off his horse", will definitely not come back this time.

However, the next morning, just before dawn, people saw the king of light in the sixteenth house-a living king of light.

Although he limped and his face was black and blue, a living king of light actually stood in front of the martial religious leader Li Yan.

It seems that he can't die, no matter what he does!

Now that Li Yan finally has a heart.

He didn't want to make any more "accidents", so he decided to eliminate this potential disaster once and for all.

The next day, King Guang was suddenly kidnapped by four chamberlain eunuchs and threw himself in Yongxiang. A few days later, he was tied up like a meatball and thrown into the palace toilet. Qiu, the chamberlain eunuch, told Wu Zong that this kind of bitch is not so easy to die, so give him a knife to get rid of it. Since nodded in agreement. Qiu then rushed to the toilet in the palace. While people were not looking, he secretly fished out the dying King of Light, covered him with dung, and carried him out of the palace unnoticed.

After a narrow escape, King Guang left Chang 'an and lived among the people. ......

Later, many notes and history books said that Guangwang went all the way to Yan Guan, Zhejiang Province (now southwest of Haining, Zhejiang Province), where he was a monk named Qiong Jun. More than 200 years later, Su Shi, a great writer and famous Buddhist monk in the Northern Song Dynasty, passed by and recalled this legendary life of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, leaving a poem: "The world has floated in China's dream." What's the difference between a dragon and a face? You should only know heaven and human beings with your eyes. "

In the spring of the sixth year of Huichang, Tang Wuzong Li Yan was critically ill. His sons are young, and there is no Chu Jun in the empire. People in the ruling and opposition circles are in a panic.

At this delicate moment, the long-forgotten King Guang suddenly returned to Chang 'an, surrounded by eunuchs such as Qiu and Ma.

In the late spring of this year, Guangwang Liyi became "Uncle Huang" and changed its name to.

Everyone knows that adding the word "Tai" to the title of "Uncle" is the symbol of the Chu army. At that time, the mentally retarded people will soon become the real dragon emperors in the Golden Temple! Almost everyone feels incredible, incredible.

But they soon came to their senses.

Because the king of light was brought back by eunuch Qiu and others. What eunuchs need is a puppet-a loser and a yes-man who can be at their mercy! In that case, of course, the King of Light is the only choice. In the imperial clan of Wang Zizhong, who is more suitable to be a puppet than the King of Light?

At the ceremony of his uncle's meeting with officials, Qiu, the eunuch, had a happy smile on his face.

Yes, he has reason to laugh like that. A few years ago, he knew that what he fished out from the stinking palace toilet was not an insignificant fool, but a decisive political chip! He knows that one day he can be put on the throne, and then he will naturally be able to control the affairs of state!

Now that everything has finally come true, Qiu certainly has reason to smile so brightly.

However, in the following days, when dealing with government affairs, Qiu could not laugh.

Because in front of Li Chen suddenly become very strange. He looks dignified, his eyes are calm, his manners are calm and powerful, and his decision-making on government affairs is orderly. He looks completely different from before!

Qiu was shocked and puzzled.

Maybe this is the true face of the king of light?

Has he been pretending to be crazy and hiding his true self for 36 years?

Qiu suddenly realized that the reason why Wu Zong tried to kill this "foolish uncle Guang" again and again was because he had talents and strategies beyond the reach of ordinary people under his stupid appearance.

But now it's too late to understand, because uncooked rice is ready. Qiu sadly and helplessly realizes that all this he has painstakingly worked for is just a wedding dress for him!

As soon as Chen Li ascended the throne, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty introduced a series of thunder measures. Having endured for most of his life, he seems eager to completely overthrow everything established by Li Yan.

Li Deyu, the powerful prime minister of Wuzong, and his henchmen were the first to bear the brunt. Li Chen deposed Li Deyu the day after he took office. After a short period of more than a year, Li Chen, Xuanzong, expelled all the important members of the Li Party from the imperial court, totally negated Huichang politics with his actions, and at the same time quickly promoted a group of new people, completed the change of the central politics and established his own ruling team.

The reason why Chen Li was praised as "Little Zhenguan" by later generations during the middle and large-scale rule period was largely due to Li Chen's self-discipline and diligence.

Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, soon after he ascended the throne, ordered people to write down the noble family on the screen, and often stood in front of the screen and read it word by word. In addition, he ordered Hanlin Bachelor Ling to read the Golden Mirror written by Emperor Taizong to him every day. Whenever he hears an important place, he will stop Ling Huxuan from saying, "If you want world peace, this should be the first priority."

One more thing is enough to prove that Xuanzong's diligence is indeed unmatched by the general monarch. One day, Xuanzong suddenly said to Ling Huxuan, "I want to know the names and official ranks of civil and military officials." The number of officials is a dime a dozen. How can the son of heaven recognize him? Ling Huxuan suddenly hesitated and had to tell the truth: "Below six grades, the official position is humble and there are many people. They are all appointed by the official department. Those above grade five shall be nominated by the document and then announced by imperial edict. Each has its own books and books. What is this called? Take the staff. "

Xuanzong ordered the prime minister to compile a five-volume book "The View of Imperial Personnel" and put it on his desk to read it from time to time.

Diligent monarchs always like to do it themselves. They can always see through everything, especially Li Chen and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Once he went hunting in Beiyuan and met a woodcutter. Li Chen asked him which county he was from, and he replied that he was from Jingyang. Li Chen asked him who was the county magistrate, and the woodcutter replied, "Li." Li Chen asked again: "How is the political affairs managed?" The woodcutter said, "This man is inflexible and very stubborn." He once arrested several robbers. These robbers have some friendship with the imperial army of the Northern Division. Beijing Normal University specifically asked him to let them go, but Li Hangyan not only refused to let them go, but also killed them. "

Li Chen said nothing after hearing this. After returning to the palace, he wrote down the matter and Li Hangyan's name and nailed it on the post. More than a month later, Li was promoted to Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province) to be the secretariat and went to the DPRK to thank him. Xuanzong gave him a goldfish bag and purple clothes. There was a Tang dynasty, which symbolized great honor, especially in Xuanzong, and such a reward was unique. Li was flattered and puzzled at the same time. Xuanzong said, "Do you know why you can wear purple?" Li Hangyan said nervously that he didn't know, so Xuanzong ordered people to take down the pillars on the temple pillars and show them to him.

Another time, Xuanzong went hunting in Weishui and passed a Buddhist temple. He saw some elders in Liquan (now Liquan, Shaanxi Province) fasting and prayed for Li Junshuang, the magistrate of Liquan County, whose term of office had expired, to stay in office. Xuanzong remembered the name of this county magistrate. Later, there was a vacancy in the secretariat of Huaizhou. Xuanzong personally wrote a note to the Prime Minister and awarded this position to Li Junshuang. The prime ministers were dumbfounded for a long time, wondering how a county magistrate named Liquan could ascend to heaven and get the favor of the emperor. Later, Li Junshuang entered the DPRK to give thanks, and when the emperor said this, the prime ministers suddenly realized.

Over time, the courtiers understood that the emperor was ostensibly traveling and hunting, and the real purpose was to go deep into the people, understand the people's feelings and inspect the political achievements of local officials on the spot.

However, it is impossible for Xuanzong to travel all over the world. So, he deliberately thought of a way to secretly order Wei Ao, a bachelor of Hanlin, to compile a book about the advantages and disadvantages of local customs and people's livelihood in all States of the world for him to read. The son of heaven named it "criminal language", and no one knew it except Wei Ao. Soon after, Xue Hongzong, the secretariat of Dengzhou, entered the court to play a role. After leaving the temple, he couldn't help saying to Wei Ao, "It's amazing that the emperor knows so much about the affairs of this country!" Wei Ao knew, of course, that the information the emperor had came from the admonition.

In front of this angry son of heaven, whoever is lucky will suffer. On one occasion, the minister in charge of finance wrote the word "dirty" in Dyed Silk (cloth polluted by water) as "clear", and Sun, the secretary of the Council, instructed him to correct the typo. Unexpectedly, when Xuanzong got the letter, he saw the altered words at a glance, and immediately flew into a rage and ordered to trace the person who altered the letter. Sun was later punished for "tampering with the throne".

Xuanzong Li Chen's hard work is not only reflected in governing the country, but also in some trivial matters in life. Li Chen, the handyman who is in charge of sweeping the floor in the palace, can remember their names and their respective functions as long as they meet once, so no matter what the palace wants to do or what work to send, the son of heaven can often ask people to do it casually, and every time there is no mistake, which makes the eunuchs and attendants in the palace feel shocked.

After Xuanzong's rule, the once-rampant "Niu Li Party Struggle" finally came to an end. Apart from the death of the leaders of the two parties, the most important point is that the intelligence, scheming and skills of controlling officials of Xuanzong Li Chen are not comparable to those of previous emperors.

As early as the middle and early stage, people understood from the fate of Prime Minister Ma that it was almost impossible to form a political party in the court of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Ma Su got married in May of the second year of Dazhong (848). He had done a good job, but in April of the fourth year of Dazhong, Ma Su was suddenly expelled from the court by an imperial edict and released as a messenger of balance.

There was no warning of this downgrade, so people found it difficult to understand. Later, they learned that it was Baoyu who caused the trouble.

This Baoyu belt is a royal thing. Not long ago, the Emperor gave it to Zuo Jun's lieutenant Ma. As we all know, eunuch Ma is one of the main heroes of Xuanzong's accession to the throne. So no matter what the emperor thinks of this powerful eunuch, on the surface, he has done his best to show his kindness and courtesy, and he has been rewarded since he ascended the throne. This belt is just one of many gifts.

But suddenly one day, Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong, suddenly found that this belt was tied to the waist of Prime Minister Ma Su.

This discovery is no small matter. The son of heaven immediately had great doubts and vigilance. He asked Ma Zhi on the spot if this belt was given to him by Ma Yuan Zhi. Ma Zhi has realized that he has made a big disaster and dare not hide it, so he has to tell the truth. The next day, Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, mercilessly expelled him from the court and removed him from the post of prime minister because of a belt. At first glance, this kind of thing will make people feel ridiculous. But in Li Chen's view, it's not funny at all.

His reason is that Ma Su and Ma Ben belong to the same clan, one is Zaifu and the other is a eunuch. Two people with this kind of relationship and status should have taken the initiative to avoid suspicion and not get too close. Now Ma actually gave Ma Su the gift from the son of heaven, which proves that they have crossed the line. The son of heaven has every reason to think that they are suspected of forming a clique.

To say the least, even if Ma Su and Ma did not form a clique, the fact of "secretly interacting with the imperial court" alone was enough to pose a potential threat to the son of heaven who had not been enthroned for a long time. Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, would never submit to the powerful eunuch Chou Shiliang like Wenzong, nor would he submit to the powerful prime minister Li Deyu like Wuzong.

Because Li Chen is a powerful son of heaven!

During the reign of Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to using tough measures to eliminate party strife, the arrogance of eunuchs was largely curbed, and there was another great historical achievement that had to be mentioned. That is the recovery of Hehuang.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Hehe and Huanghai (now Gansu and eastern Qinghai) have been occupied by Tubo for nearly a hundred years. After Xuanzong, successive emperors, especially the first emperor Chun Li, all had ambitions to recover Hehuang, but they were always unable to do so. Due to the continuous turmoil in the buffer region, the court had to use troops repeatedly, and political affairs were plagued by party struggles and official disasters, which made the Li and Tang dynasties unable to take care of themselves, let alone free their hands to deal with the Tubo people. During the five reign of Huichang, the situation began to reverse-a large-scale civil war broke out in Tubo, and the domestic political situation was chaotic and the people were in poverty.

God seems destined to give Xuanzong Li Chen the historical achievement of recovering Hehuang.

Because when Tubo began to decline, it was the eve of his arrival on the historical stage.

In February of the third year after Li Chen ascended the throne, Qin Zhou, Yuanzhou, Anle, Shimen, Izang, Zhisheng, Shi Xia, Mu Jing, Muxia and Liupanshui, which were originally under the control of Tubo, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty overnight.

Originally, the recovery of the three States and seven customs was enough to surprise the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, after only two years, all the lost land in Hehuang was recovered by a man named Zhang Yichao and all returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Undeniably, regaining lost territory in a hundred years is not Xuanzong's martial arts, but a temporary opportunity. If it is really Xuanzong's personal efforts to eliminate party struggles, curb eunuchs and rectify official management, then it is obviously a godsend to recover Hehuang. But anyway, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Empire, which has struggled for nearly a hundred years in the gloomy history of internal troubles and foreign invasion, still shines with a glimmer of brilliance in the hands of Xuanzong Li Chen.

In Xuanzong era, although the empire was not peaceful and prosperous, it was at least a peaceful game. After the curtain of "Governing the Great and the Middle School" fell, history gave Li Chen a high evaluation: "Xuanzong was observant and selfless, listened to opinions with an open mind, loved officials and rewarded them, respected and thrived, and loved people and things." Therefore, the rule of Dazhong ended with the death of Tang Dynasty, which is what people think. Little Taizong'! "

Thanks to Li Chen's hard work, more than a thousand years later, we are still lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the afterglow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the chaotic historical puzzle of the 9th century.
