Chapter 115 The Anshi Rebellion
  As the evening live broadcast time approaches, many emperors of the Tang Dynasty have made preparations.

Li Shimin called all the important officials over, firstly to snap up the Polaroids for tonight's products.

Although I don’t know what a Polaroid is, as long as it is a product of later generations, it is a good thing, and you won’t suffer any loss if you grab it.

Another reason is that tonight the anchor is going to talk about the Anshi Rebellion and invite all the important officials to listen carefully to the Anshi Rebellion.

From the videos played on the screen before, he already knew that the Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

This puzzled him. His great-grandson Li Longji created the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, making the Tang Dynasty the most powerful in history.

Looking at it this way, Li Longji should be very capable. Why did he ruin the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty like this?

He was puzzled and would wait to hear what the Anshi Rebellion was about.

Wu Zetian ordered people to move the tables and chairs outside the hall. She sat on the chair, drinking tea and waiting for the live broadcast to start.

The topic that the anchor was going to talk about today was what she was interested in. She wanted to see what Li Longji, the good grandson who stole the throne, did, so that the Anshi Rebellion caused the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline.

When she saw people mentioning Li Longji before, she wished that Li Longji would die soon.

At that time, she could roughly guess what was going on.

In the early stage, it created the prosperous Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty and brought the Tang Dynasty to its peak. In the later period, it caused the Anshi Rebellion and brought the Tang Dynasty to a sudden decline.

The Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline under the rule of the descendants of Li Tang, which made her look down upon and couldn't help but sneer at him.

Although she did not lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity, she did not lead the Tang Dynasty to decline either!

Ever since she became the empress, countless people have opposed her openly and covertly, thinking that she would ruin the Tang Dynasty.

Now it seems that it was not she who ruined the Tang Dynasty, but the descendants of Li Tang.

Presumably after watching the Anshi Rebellion introduced by the anchor, Wu Zhou's subjects will clearly realize that Wu Zhou is definitely much stronger than the descendants of Li and Tang under her rule.

If her prediction is correct, after tonight, the people in the world will be more obedient to her rule.

For tonight's live broadcast, Li Longji called all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to listen carefully to what the Anshi Rebellion was about, so that he could find countermeasures to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

In fact, he has already arranged the imperial army and is ready to take people later.

From the previous video on the list of historical sinners, he already knew that the culprits of the Anshi Rebellion were An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, and he had already put them in jail and would be executed soon.

But he knew very well that since the Anshi Rebellion could become a turning point for the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, there must be many people involved.

Today he would like to take a closer look at who were the loyal ministers and who were the treacherous ministers during the Anshi Rebellion.

Thinking of this, he looked down quietly, his eyes passing over the faces of every minister.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Su Chen met everyone on time.

Li Longji couldn't help but become nervous, and Yang Yuhuan on the side squeezed his hand tightly.

"Good evening everyone, I am the anchor Su Chen. Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast on time."

Su Chen started the live broadcast energetically and greeted all the historical figures enthusiastically.

After feeling the enthusiasm of the big guys from each dynasty, Su Chen went directly to the topic of today's live broadcast.

"Yesterday His Majesty Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked the anchor about the Anshi Rebellion. Now the anchor will answer it for His Majesty Xuanzong. The subjects of the Tang Dynasty during the Xuanzong period can listen carefully." Once these words came out, whether it was Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty or the great emperors of this period The people of Tang Dynasty pricked up their ears.

"The Anshi Rebellion was a turmoil that occurred in the Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. It lasted for seven years from December of the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755 AD) to February of the first year of Guangde (763 AD). "

"Because it was a rebellion launched by Tang Dynasty generals An Lushan and Shi Siming, it was called the Anshi Rebellion."

Both Li Shimin and Wu Zetian were shocked when they heard that the Anshi Rebellion lasted for seven years.

A turmoil lasted for seven years. It can be imagined how much damage it caused to the Tang Dynasty. It is no wonder that the Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

Now they finally feel the harm caused by the Anshi Rebellion.

Of course, the people who were most shocked were the people of the Tang Dynasty during the Xuanzong period. They could not imagine what a seven-year war would be like.

These people were born in a peaceful and stable era, lived in the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and had never experienced war.

Now tell them that the Anshi Rebellion that occurred not long ago lasted for seven years. Just thinking about this desperate scene makes your scalp numb.

Many subjects of the Tang Dynasty even cried in public, unwilling to suffer such suffering themselves or the Tang Dynasty. They only wanted a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

When Li Longji learned that the Anshi Rebellion lasted for seven years, he was completely lost, his eyes were dull, as if someone had broken his backbone.

The surrounding ministers were all silent and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

They knew that His Majesty was very angry right now, and they must not make Him unhappy.

Not to mention others, even they, the civil and military ministers, could not have imagined that the Anshi Rebellion would last for seven years.

Li Longji had always thought that the Anshi Rebellion would only last for a year or two at most, and then be quelled by the Tang Dynasty.

Now it seems that he was too naive and seriously underestimated the harm caused to the Tang Dynasty by the seven-year Anshi Rebellion.

Until this moment, he finally woke up and understood why the Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

It lasted seven years, and this time has said it all.

Seven years of war broke out in the Tang Dynasty. No matter how prosperous the Tang Dynasty was, it would be destroyed by the war.

When he thought that the prosperous Kaiyuan era that he had worked so hard to build was ruined by the seven-year Anshi Rebellion, he was shaking with anger. He had never been so angry as he was now.

That was half his life's work, that was his prosperous Kaiyuan era, that was his coming of all nations, and that was his peak Tang Dynasty.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The prosperous age of Kaiyuan is still there, the Anshi Rebellion has not happened, and everything is still too late.

The Anshi Rebellion was a rebellion launched by the Tang Dynasty generals An Lushan and Shi Siming. This sentence said by the anchor kept echoing in his mind.

The main culprits that led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty were An Lushan and Shi Siming.

He had always wondered why the rebellion launched by An Lushan was called the Anshi Rebellion, but now he figured it out, and it turned out that Shi Siming was missing.

An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were thrown into the sky prison by him, and Shi Siming could not let them go.

Li Longji: Come here, arrest the traitor Shi Siming immediately.
