People everywhere hated the Li Tang royal family to the core.
The Anshi Rebellion was originally caused by the royal family's extravagance and ignorance. The common people were the victims. They were massacred and plundered by the rebels. They cried day and night, hoping that the government and the army would rescue them.
The last thing waiting for them was that the emperor sold them to the barbarians as bargaining chips.
In order to quell the rebellion, the emperor even gave up his basic humanity. The people paid taxes, but the emperor refused to protect the people after collecting the taxes. The people no longer regarded them as royalty, and their life and death had nothing to do with the people of the Tang Dynasty.
And there are many vassal towns in other places. The country is fragmented, the people are scattered, and the emperor is also unpopular. There will be no such thing as Dong Zhuo occupied the capital at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to the launch of voluntary crusade in various places. That's why we can let the eunuchs do what they want.
In order to make money these years, Wei Zhongxian has tormented the civil servants day and night to curse his eighteenth generation ancestors. How could he possibly cooperate with him in setting up a regency?
Wei Zhongxian saw that a regency would not work. He also said that he should forget about a coup. If it was not possible, he would directly become emperor.
This sentence almost scared his cronies to death. He dared to change the dynasty without military power.
Isn't this seeking death?
Cui Chengxiu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly advised: "I'm afraid there are righteous soldiers abroad."
How can we control the Ming Dynasty when there are so many princes in other places?
Unlike the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, who raised their brothers like pigs and kept them under their care, and lived in the ten princes' palaces in Chang'an, the eunuchs immediately took control.
In order to get money for Tianqi and raise Liao wages, the eunuchs cut off the flesh of the gentry, offending all the gentry in the country to death. If they really did this, the whole world would not be able to swarm in.
I'm afraid that the eunuchs won't be able to survive for long before they die without a burial place.
Wei Zhongxian discussed with these cronies again and again, but to no avail, and he was trapped in the city of sorrow.
On August 22, Emperor Tianqi died of illness. Before his death, Tianqi decided to let King Xin Zhu Youjian ascend the throne.
Wei Zhongxian was unable to make a decision and was in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
Queen Zhang Yan seized the opportunity and sent people out of the palace overnight to inform King Xin to enter the palace and inherit the throne.
