has a very chaotic period in the history of our country, that is, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Li Cunzhen founded the Later Tang Dynasty with the help of Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan actually has no surname. His original name was Miao Jilie when he was 13 years old. Li Ke adopted him as his son and gave him this name. A few years later, Li Ke almost lost his life in Yuanyi. It was Li Siyuan who rescued him and Li Siyuan was reused because of this.
God blessed for five years, Li Ke used his deceased son Li Cunzhen to succeed to the throne, and at the same time Li Siyuan defeated Liang Jun and became the first man of military exploits. In the next ten years, he captured Baixiang and Weizhou respectively, and defended Youzhou, as long as The war he led almost never failed. In the first year of Tongguang, Li Cunzhen formally established the Later Tang Dynasty. In the next two years, Li Siyuan captured Yunzhou and Bianzhou respectively. The latter was destroyed in his hands. Almost no one in the court could compare to Li Siyuan.
Once this person has some achievements, he is vulnerable to suspicion by others. Li Cunyu is no exception to feel Li Siyuan’s threat to him, and he has to take precautions against him. After another year, General Yuan Xingqin slandered Li Siyuan with dissatisfaction. He was anxious to prove himself to the emperor, but was detained by his eldest son. At this time, Li Siyuan had to consider himself a king for himself.
After he occupied Bianzhou, Tang Zhuangzong was shot to death by a rebellion arrow in Luoyang. Li Siyuan entered the capital to stabilize the situation. He actually wanted to wait for Zhuangzong descendants to inherit the throne, but the people around him were The prince’s eldest son was assassinated, and all the other princes were missing, so he had to ascend the throne to become Emperor Mingzong of Tang Dynasty.
Li Siyuan is a person who doesn’t know a big character, so he can become the emperor because of his martial arts. Everyone has placed great hopes on him. She didn’t intend to be the emperor, but everyone pushed him up. He also knew that he didn’t have much knowledge. In order to manage the country well, he was more open to ask the ministers to teach him the principles of governing the country. Among so many emperors in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Li Siyuan was a rare one. Mingjun.
Li Siyuan has only been on the throne for seven years, and the country is peaceful. In politics, as long as corrupt officials are not allowed to be spared, the active selection of talents is responsible for this important task. In terms of economy, all miscellaneous taxes are abolished in order to reduce the burden on the people. It is his strong point, strengthening the military power, and severely punishing the feudal dynasty. For an illiterate man, he is really excellent.
Li Siyuan in his later years, he also committed the same problem as many emperors, that is, he was too suspicious, as long as he suspected officials, he would kill casually, and his second son summoned the army to plot a rebellion, this time Li Siyuan His body became worse and he passed away slowly in fear. In fact, most emperors will be suspicious in their later years, worrying that this will rebel and that will replace themselves. As an old and frail emperor, there is nothing to do, and the country will slowly perish.
