We all know that the Tang Dynasty reached Tang Zhaozong and was basically on the verge of extinction. Therefore, the history of Tang Zhaozong is often mentioned by many people, but due to the historical records of the year, different angles, and different analyses, so This makes Tang Zhaozong's identity particularly ambiguous. This king who was once hailed as a better king than his brother ended up embarking on the same path as Chongzhen . What is even more embarrassing is that the mystery of Tang Zhaozong's death has not yet been clarified. Today we will also review the history of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and dissect the mystery of the death of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of the death of Tang Zhaozong, we have to talk about an inference in the historical circles, that is, the farce of Tang Zhaozong's rise to power. This statement is not actually recorded in official history, but we can find out the reason through many clues. According to the historical records of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the entire Tang Dynasty had fallen into a basically divided pattern. As early as when Tang Xizong was in power, although the Tang Dynasty had entered a tragedy that could not be lost, Tang Xizong knew how to use various forces to restrain each other, and then sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, so the Tang Dynasty was not destroyed. But by the time Tang Zhaozong came to power, the balance of forces among all parties could no longer be maintained, and Tang Zhaozong himself was unable to find the key and balance points.

So when coordinating power, on the one hand, he reused the bureaucracy, which caused the aristocracy of the Tang Dynasty to alienate. Then he reused and Li Ke used , which led to the loss of the core strength within the Datang Empire . Not only did Li Maozhen entered Changan , and even Li Keyong, whom he reused, entered the Central Plains. In such extreme chaos, Tang Zhaozong was forced to let Zhu Wen enter the central government, hoping to turn the tide. The embarrassing result is that Zhu Wen actually turned against the emperor and got the support of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. He actually lured the emperor Zhaozong into the house. As a result, he became a fish to be slaughtered, just waiting for the moment of death.

From this point on, the Tang Dynasty was basically finished, because there was a knife hanging over the entire Tang Dynasty, ready to fall at any time. At this time, Zhu Wen received the support of the nobles, but something strange happened and Tang Zhaozong died. According to official historical records, Tang Zhaozong was killed by Zhu Wen. Because Zhu Wen wanted to become the emperor himself, Tang Zhaozong had to die. But in fact, scholars discovered during research that Zhu Wen was actually facing the problem of Tang Zhaozong's abdication. Because there are many historical records that Tang Zhaozong saw that his world was difficult to maintain, and Zhu Wen was supported by the power of the nobility, so he was determined to give up this heavy burden in order to survive.

Zhu Wen was overjoyed at the time and immediately wanted to accept the position, but was opposed by all the nobles. The nobles had previously roped in Zhu Wen to fight against Tang Zhaozong because they wanted to oppose Tang Zhaozong's wooing of the bureaucracy to deal with the nobles. As a result, Zhu Wen actually wanted to turn his back on the emperor and become the emperor from a lower-class person. This would make the aristocracy at a loss what to do, and they could not accept this outcome. If it was just Zhu Wen who forcibly wanted the position of emperor, then the nobles could replace Zhu Wen, but now the emperor wanted to abdicate, so the nobles were very panicked, and this was also a way for the emperor to retaliate against the nobles.

As a result, in the chaos of that year, Tang Zhaozong died inexplicably, and Zhu Wen was also inexplicably charged with killing the monarch as a villain. However, when scholars were researching, Zhu Wen's son and Zhu Wen's favorite wife also clearly opposed Zhu Wen. He could not kill the emperor and could not be emperor. Zhu Wen also accepted it at the time, but suddenly the emperor's life and death, Everything fell into ultimate chaos. Therefore, when scholars studied that period of history, they believed that Zhu Wen was actually a scapegoat. Although this figure was cruel, he had no motive to kill the emperor.

Therefore, scholars finally put forward a possible conjecture. Tang Zhaozong was retaliating against the aristocracy and even wanted to arouse conflicts between Zhu Wen and the aristocracy, so that he could benefit from it. But unfortunately, he did not play well and was dismissed. The noble was assassinated. I have to say that the of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties of the Five Dynasties were really chaotic, and even figures like Tang Zhaozong could not end well.
