Historians' evaluation of Tang Ruizong Li Dan is this: he is confused in small things, smart in big things, and wise in protecting himself and knowing the interests and dangers. But he is not safe in late festivals and is easily deceived by others. Tang Ruizong Li Dan's life can be said to be ill-fated, but he was always helped by noble people, and he was able to avoid life-threatening dangers again and again with his great wisdom. Conspiracy and conspiracy, Tang Ruizong Li Dan may not be a good emperor, it can be said that he is an honest man.

Most people understand a truth. Generally, when we evaluate a person and say that this person is an honest person, it means that this person is a useless person, but Tang Ruizong and Li Dan are really a useless person. Human? Looking at the history books, we can see that the life of Tang Ruizong Li Dan was indeed somewhat legendary. He stayed in the position of emperor for 8 years, but it was divided into two stages.

The first stage is that Tang Ruizong Li Dan was pushed to the position of emperor by his mother Wu Zetian, becoming a puppet and a son-emperor. During these 6 years, Tang Ruizong Li Dan had no words. right. Can you imagine that an emperor, the true master of the Tang Empire, became a puppet? Tang Ruizong and Li Dan could peacefully defy the rule for six years without letting Wu Zetian find any reason to get rid of him. Is this really something that a foolish person could do? Obviously Tang Ruizong and Li Dan were a man with his own wisdom in life and his own political skills, but he understood that if his mother caught him, he would be doomed.

So he chose to be patient. Some people think that since you sit in the position of emperor, you should be quiet and uneasy, but there is a saying that is particularly reasonable. If you can live longer than your enemy, then you It can be regarded as a kind of success. It is obvious that Tang Ruizong and Li Dan knew this truth well and practiced it. Tang Ruizhong Li Dan used this method to torture his mother to death.

However, there is no basis to evaluate Tang Ruizong Li Dan as a virtuous monarch from this aspect alone, because during Wu Zetian's time, Tang Ruizong Li Dan had two years to become the Tang Empire. The real ones in power. But in the past two years, he relied on nepotism and allowed his sister, his wife, and his daughter to cause trouble in the court, causing irreparable losses to the Tang Empire. He even once wanted to depose his own crown prince Li Longji. I have to say that at this time, the 55-year-old Tang Ruizong Li Dan is indeed a bit old and confused, and he does not have the political acumen of the past. My personal evaluation of Tang Ruizong Li Dan is that he is a good person and an honest person, but not a Even though he is a good emperor, he cannot be a good emperor.
