This is a very special role under the monarchy. One person is above ten thousand people, with a prominent position and an awkward position. It is both a darling and a worry. If you are in the wrong position, you will be too sharp. The emperor said that you don't talk about politics, you are arrogant and even suspect that you are trying to seize power. Those brothers who covet Chu Jun's position will also wait for opportunities to make trouble, stumble, intrigue and fish in troubled waters, all trying to take their position. The emperor was on the boat, and his brothers were staring outside. If they were careless, they would violate Tianwei, and they would be demoted or killed by prisoners. In a word, the work is very difficult. & gt When you become a prince, you should not only be careful everywhere, but also be prepared for a protracted war. When he became a prince three or five years later, the bullet passed; Being a prince for decades, whether the body can bear it and whether the status can be maintained depends on the nature. In history, there are not a few princes who have been princes for more than 20 years. Some of them were weak and failed to survive the emperor, such as Xiao Tong in Nanliang and Zhu Biao in Ming Dynasty. Some were framed for suspicion, either killed or abolished, such as Herry Liu in the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ying and Yin Ren in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with them, the Tang Dynasty was a prince for twenty-six years and became an emperor who had been a prince for a long time in history. & gt (761-806), the eldest son of Tang Dezong. In December of the 14th year of Dali (779), Tang Dezong named Li Yong Prince. Li Yong has literary talent, likes all kinds of learning skills, and is good at official script. Whenever Tang Dezong writes poems for his ministers, Li Yong writes them. Li Yong is good at martial arts and can handle chaos without being disturbed. In November of the fourth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (783), Tang Dezong fled to Fengtian (now Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province) because of the "Jingyuan mutiny", and Li Yong "held a bow with an arrow" (Old Tang Book). Faced with the siege of the rebels, Li Yong "forbidden to travel first and refused to take the city to fight" (New Tang Book), and led his troops to win the defense of Mukden. & gt& gt Li Yong's career as a prince was not smooth, although he was both civil and military and had a high reputation. The prison of Princess Gao, which happened in August of the third year of Zhenyuan (787), almost pushed him to the abyss of extinction. Princess Gao is her daughter, and her daughter Xiao is the crown princess. After her husband's death, Princess Gao took advantage of her special position, not only contacting the foreign minister, but also secretly associating with courtiers and even practicing witchcraft. When Tang Dezong heard the news, he suspected that Li Yong had caused trouble, so he came up with the idea of changing the status of the prince. "After several wastes, it is recovered" (New Tang Book). Fortunately, Li Bi, a veteran minister, argued that Li Yong's position as the prince was preserved. & gt Since then, Li Yong, who was already cautious, has been more cautious. In the later period of Tang Dezong's administration, his ambition to rectify state affairs was dashed, and he had to compromise gradually. Political frustration made Tang Dezong indulge himself, and the atmosphere of luxury, pleasure and muddling along in the imperial court became more and more prosperous. Once, the imperial court held a banquet in Yu Zaogong, with flowers and bamboos, singing and dancing. Tang Dezong was so happy that he couldn't help asking Li Yong, "How was today?" Isn't the atmosphere very good today? For Tang Dezong's debauchery, Li Yong quoted a sentence from The Book of Songs (a book of the New Tang Dynasty) to answer. Although he didn't tell the truth, he was secretly dissatisfied. & gt during his time as a prince, Li Yong personally experienced the chaos and bonfire of the rebellion in the buffer region, heard and witnessed the disputes and criticisms of court ministers, and gradually matured politically. During the twenty-six years, Li Yong only expressed his opinion on one political matter, that is, to prevent Tang Dezong from appointing the yes men Pei Yanling and Wei Qumou as prime ministers. Li Yong said: "Chen Qi can't wait for every color." When Tang Dezong was in a good mood, he calmly argued and pointed out that the two men could not be reused. In the end, Pei and Wei "can't use two people" (Book of the New Tang Dynasty), so Han Yu praised Li Yong for "living in the storage for twenty years, and the world is fortunate to him" (Book of the Old Tang Dynasty). & gt Li Yong, as a prince, was also the future ruler of the Tang Empire, and he was worried about the country and the people at that time. Although Li Yong paid close attention to North Korea's political affairs secretly and often talked about state affairs with his confidants in private, he could do nothing about many abuses. I dare not say anything. I can't display my ambition. I have been living in Chu Jun in fear for many years, which makes Li Yong depressed and in poor health. In July of the twentieth year of Zhenyuan (804), Li Yong, who was concerned about the country and people, suffered a stroke, was paralyzed in bed, and could not speak, so seeking medical advice was ineffective. In the first month of the 21st year of Zhenyuan (805), Tang Dezong died and Li Yong acceded to the throne. & gt After Li Yong ascended the throne, although he was ill in bed, he immediately used Wang, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and others to reform politics. As early as in Tang Dezong, eunuchs often plundered the people in the name of taking things from the palace, which was called the "palace market"; In order to please the emperor, some local officials offered money to the emperor every month, and some offered it once a day to search for the fat cream of the people, which caused great resentment among the people. The first fire of Li Yong's innovation was to order the abolition of "palace market", cancel "monthly advancement" and "daily advancement", put an end to extravagance and decay at home and abroad, and reduce exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes except two taxes to reduce the burden on the people. & gt As early as when he was a prince, Li Yong had a deep understanding of the separatist regime in the buffer region, especially the harm of eunuch autocracy. So Li Yong chose veteran Fan Xichao and Han Tai to take charge of the imperial army and planned to seize the eunuch's military power. The measures to restrict eunuchs and buffer regions were opposed by eunuchs and buffer regions. At that time, Li Yong suffered a very serious stroke, which "could not be recovered for a long time", and "he was unable to make a decision because of his loss of voice" (Lessons Learned from Experience). Many innovative imperial edicts were conveyed to the foreign minister through eunuchs and queens in the inner palace, and then promulgated. In this way, it provides an excuse for Yan Quan and others to fight back. & gt In August of that year, eunuchs, headed by Ju Wenzhen, conspired with conservative officials in the imperial court to instigate a palace coup, with the intention of establishing a prince and deposing Li Yong, in order to attack the reformists. At the same time, many our envoys also went to court to attack Wang and others, echoing the eunuch Ju Wenzhen and others inside and outside, plotting to depose Li. In the midst of opposition, Li Yong had to let Prince Chunli supervise the country, and was soon forced to Zen as a prince, claiming to be the emperor's father. In the first month of the first year of Yuanhe (806), Li Yong was honored as "Da 'an Emperor, Virtuous Sage" in the Spring Calendar, becoming the first emperor in the Tang Dynasty to add seven-character honorifics for the first time. Soon, Li Yong died at the age of 46. & gt Li Yong has been a prince for twenty-six years, and he fell ill when he was about to get out of bed. When he became emperor for less than eight months, he was ousted. It can be said that life is miserable and fate is doomed. However, Li Yong was an ambitious and talented emperor. In just eight months, he denounced corrupt officials, abolished the palace market, stopped putting salt and iron into money and local offerings, and tried to take back the eunuch's military power, which had a great influence on the Tang Dynasty. His achievements are extraordinary, and his courage is epic. Han Yu praised him for being "generous and kind, and … practicing while ill, … and spreading political power and prospering", and summed up his short and great ruling career with a "saint". & gt
