The history of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty after the An-Shi Rebellion (specifically, let’s talk about the history of how he became the Supreme Emperor and Gao Lishi)

After Ma Wei became ill, Tang Xuanzong lost the support of all officials and lost power. Suzong of the Tang Dynasty was supported as the emperor, and Li Longji was respected as the Supreme Emperor. Li Longji did not want to regain the lost territory and continued to flee to Chengdu. Tang Suzong continued to stay in Lingwu and sit in command. Tang Suzong did not listen to the strategy of his loyal minister Li Mi and attacked Fanyang (Beijing) along the border. Instead, he hoped to recover the two capitals as soon as possible and return to enjoy the blessings. After the two capitals were restored, Li Longji was taken to Chang'an and lived in a side palace. One country cannot tolerate two masters. Instigated by eunuchs, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty once wanted to kill his father, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and sent a pair of forbidden soldiers on horseback to the corridor outside the palace of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Thanks to Gao Lishi's outspoken words to drive back the imperial army, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was able to save his life. From then on, he restrained his words and deeds and died in depression.
