Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a very controversial emperor in the Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he launched the political revolution in Tang Long, eradicated Wei Hou's influence, learned from others, revived the Tang Dynasty, and created a prosperous era of Kaiyuan. However, in his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became unwilling to listen to different opinions, indulged in pleasure, favored Yang Guifei, and even handed over power to the traitors Li and Yang, which led to the gradual decline of the Tang Dynasty and the later Anshi Rebellion, which laid a hidden danger for the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
Throughout Tang Xuanzong's life, the first half and the second half are like two different people. It is hard to imagine that a wise emperor would be so groggy in the second half. Many people blame Yang Yuhuan, thinking that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was confused by lust and wisdom. Although there are some reasons, we can't blame Yang Yuhuan for all the faults of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. After all, the wise emperor in history was surrounded by many beautiful women. But it still does not prevent them from creating a prosperous time.
The reason why Tang Xuanzong became so groggy in his later years has a lot to do with the change of his mentality in his old age. When people have made great achievements when they are young and all they hear is praise, it is not easy to listen to those unpleasant voices. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty has been immersed in the prosperity of his own creation, thinking that he should enjoy it since he created it. Plus, when I am old, I feel that time is running out and I will be more indulgent. Maybe he didn't realize the Tang Dynasty. Prosperity will decline, which is a historical law.
