Corruption and decline of Ce Shen's army.
After Tang Muzong, Shence Army gradually became corrupt and its fighting capacity declined. The corruption of Shence Army was conceived in its heyday. Because it has many special rights, it encourages its own corruption. The bidding army enjoys privileges in at least three aspects:

The first is to provide three times the treatment of other troops and regular extra rewards.

Since Daizong, every Amnesty has been generously given to the Shence Army. Every new emperor acceded to the throne, but also reward the Ce Shen army. For example, Mu Zong acceded to the throne and gave it to the intellectuals of Shence Army, 50 yuan, 30 yuan of the Sixth Army and Weiyuan, and Jin Wuren 15 yuan.

Second, it has priority in promoting officials.

The report said: "Since the beginning, God has decided to transfer officials, but most of them have never heard of it. The book of the straight book has been executed repeatedly. There is no virtual day shift. " Their priority also benefited from the preference and care of the lieutenant of the guard army.

The third is to enjoy legal privileges.

During the Tang Dynasty, various institutions and departments in Beijing sent censors to inspect every quarter. Later, due to the special status of the imperial army, it was suggested not to inspect it. In the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803), Cui Yuan, a military supervisor, did not understand this change and entered the station of the Right Shence Army. As a result, he was beaten for forty years and exiled to another state. This shows that the emperor has legally recognized this privileged position of the Shence Army.

These privileges not only promoted the corruption of Shence Army, but also became an excuse for some buffer regions to launch rebellion under certain conditions. At the end of the Tang dynasty, the forces of the buffer region invaded the capital many times, often under the slogan of cutting off eunuchs. At this time, most officials involved in the eunuch group in Ce Shen army. Since Mu Zong, Shence Army has rarely gone out to fight, and its military discipline has been deteriorating day by day. Its ordinary non-commissioned officers were not the border guards who were good at fighting in those days, but mostly the children of industrial and commercial tycoons, which made them unbearable for World War I. Tang Ting gave the Shence Army the privilege to play a greater role in maintaining the rule of the Li family, but it backfired, making it corrupt and losing its combat effectiveness, which was unexpected. When Tang Xizong was in China, the Huang Chao Uprising Army entered the customs, and Nuozong fled to Shu in panic, causing the Shence Army to be defeated or taken into custody by the buffer region. Eunuch Tian recruited 54 new troops, each with 1000 people, all of which will be divided. In the second year of Jingfu (893), Fengxiang made Li and transferred troops to attack Chang 'an. "I learned that the fifty-fourth army was stationed in Xingping, and the soldiers had collapsed and forced the capital. Zhao Zong made a plan to kill the gods, and the assistant generals Simon Chong and Zhou Li took care of the children, so they introduced it. " Two years later (902), the Xuanwu envoy entered the customs, and the following year, he was defeated by Li, forcing Zhao Zong to kill more than 20 people, including Han, the eunuch, and incorporated the soldiers who participated in the left and right armies, such as longwu and SHEN WOO. "But Ce Shen's left and right armies were destroyed", and Ce Shen's army was disbanded.
