Chapter 293
Even Yang Yu and Princess Tongchang, who were hiding in the dark, felt their hearts beating rapidly. What the concubine said would definitely shock the sky!

"Chao Meiren was originally brought back by the first emperor when he traveled among the people. Her true identity has always been a mystery, but Aijia knows her origin! The first half of the first half of the emperor's life was turbulent, and all the turning points began when he met your mother and concubine. !"

The concubine's thoughts could not help drifting to the distance, and she slowly described the events of the previous dynasty...

Among the 22 emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen is undoubtedly the most legendary one.Because he has been regarded as a "mentally disabled person" since he was a child.

In the entire Chang'an City, almost everyone who knew him thought so.

From the fifth year of Yuanhe (810) when he was born, to the sixth year (846) when he was enthroned in Huichang, for 36 years, he almost never enjoyed the treatment of a real prince.Moreover, when Emperor Wu Zong was critically ill and the political forces of the Daming Palace were fighting fiercely for the candidates for the new monarch, he was wandering and wandering somewhere far away from Chang'an without any knowledge...

However, all those who knew him would never dream that, as if overnight, the treacherous hand of the old man of history pushed this former "mentally handicapped person" to the Golden Palace of the Tang Empire in one fell swoop, transforming him into an adult. The No.18 Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
What is even more unbelievable is that after Li Chen ascended the throne, he suddenly burst out with unprecedented courage, wisdom and courage, which not only wiped out the half-century-long "Party Struggle" that had plagued the empire in one fell swoop, but also greatly curbed the always arrogant and domineering The forces of feudal towns and eunuchs finally regained the entire territory of Hehuang, which had been lost to the Tubo people for nearly a hundred years, and created the last brilliance that was unique in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

From a "mentally disabled person" to a wandering monk, and finally ruled the world and became a powerful emperor... Tang Xuanzong Li Chen's life can be described as ups and downs and magnificent, completely beyond people's imagination.

So, how did all of this work?
Li Chen is the thirteenth son of Tang Xianzong Li Chun, the younger brother of Tang Muzong Li Heng, and the uncle of the three emperors of Jingzong, Wenzong and Wuzong.How could such an honorable clan prince be treated as a fool throughout his entire life?
Everything has to start from scratch.Li Chen's original name was Li Yi. Although he was the biological son of Emperor Xianzong and later named King Guang, he was a concubine - his mother Zheng was just a lowly court lady.Due to the humble status of his mother, King Guang Li Yi naturally did not enjoy the honor and favor of other princes after birth, and could only grow up alone in a corner where no one noticed.Therefore, since he was a child, he seemed depressed and dull, and often lived in groups with other princes all day long without saying a word.After growing up, this situation not only did not get better, but became more serious.People have speculated that this may have something to do with a shock he encountered during the reign of Mu Zong.At that time, the Guang Wang official had an audience with the Empress Dowager Yi'an, but unexpectedly happened to bump into the official and assassinate him. Although there was no danger - the incident did not cause any casualties, but since then, Guang Wang has become more reticent.The royal family members of Shiliu Zhai (the place where the princes of Li Tang's clan lived) decided that this stupid guy must have been scared out of his wits this time.

From then on, no matter how big or small the occasion was, the King of Light became the object of teasing and teasing.Once, Emperor Wenzong hosted a banquet for all the kings in the Sixteen Houses. During the banquet, everyone laughed and laughed, but King Guang was silent, so Wenzong made fun of him, saying: "Who can make Uncle Guang speak, I will reward you very much! "The kings rushed forward and made fun of him in every possible way.But this Uncle Guang is always like a piece of wood, no matter how everyone teases him, he doesn't even move the corner of his mouth.Seeing his resigned appearance, everyone became more and more happy. Wen Zong laughed and laughed, and everyone continued to roar with laughter.

But at this moment, a young prince suddenly stopped smiling.This prince was the later Wuzong Li Yan.

Although Li Yan was very active when he was teasing King Guang just now, now he suddenly thinks that a person can be unmoved by all external objects at any time and in any occasion, if he is not stupid, then he is unfathomable !
Li Yan shuddered suddenly, he subconsciously felt that King Guang might belong to the latter.

After Li Yan ascended the throne, the shuddering feeling that had been lingering many years ago was still lingering.

Wu Zong Li Yan felt more and more that there was a possibility that something unknown was hidden deep in King Guang's heart.If this is the case, then he, the emperor, can't be indifferent to it.

Keeping such an "unfathomable" person around is a disaster sooner or later!
As a result, all sorts of "accidents" later came to King Guang.Either he suddenly fell from his horse while playing polo with the emperor, or he was walking in the palace, and suddenly he tripped over something, and rolled off the steps...In any case, there was no time when he fell into a swollen nose and swollen face. Body scars.

On a snowy afternoon, King Guang and the princes went out with the emperor, during which they all had a banquet and drank together. When they returned to the palace after drinking, it was already late and everyone was a little bit drunk.No one noticed that the unlucky Uncle Guang "accidentally" fell off his horse again and passed out in the ice and snow.

The heavy snow of goose feathers flying all over the sky soon covered him layer by layer.

Wu Zong and Li Yan were determined - Uncle Guang, who "stumbled and fell from a horse", would definitely not be able to return this time.

However, early in the morning of the next day, people saw the King of Light—a living King of Light—in the sixteen houses.

Although he limped while walking and his face was blue and purple, a living King of Light stood unexpectedly in front of Wu Zong Li Yan.

It seems that he can't die, no matter how much he tosses, he can't die!
Wu Zong Li Yan finally set his mind.

He didn't want to painstakingly create any more "accidents", and he decided to eliminate this potential evil once and for all.

The following day, King Guang was suddenly kidnapped by four eunuchs and imprisoned in Yongxiang. A few days later, he was tied up like a meat dumpling and thrown into the palace toilet.The servant eunuch Qiu Gongwu told Wu Zong that this kind of cheap bone is not so easy to die, so he simply gave him a knife, and it cost him a hundred.Wu Zong nodded in agreement.Afterwards, Qiu Gongwu rushed to the palace toilet and sneaked out of the dying King Guang without being noticed, then covered him with dung, and unconsciously transported him out of the palace.

After nine deaths, the King of Light has left Chang'an and has been living among the people...

Many later notes and histories claim that King Guang kept his name incognito, trekked across mountains and rivers, and fled all the way to Anguo Temple in Yanguan, Zhejiang (southwest of Haining, Zhejiang) to become a monk, with the dharma name Qiongjun. More than 200 years later, Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty and a famous Buddhist layman, passed by here, reminiscing about this legendary life of Tang Xuanzong Li Chen, and left a special poem: "The world has been waiting for the dust, and the dream of floating flowers in the sky The inner body. Why is it that the dragon face is more distinguished, and only the heavenly eyes should know heaven and man."

In the spring of the sixth year of Huichang, Tang Wuzong Li Yan was critically ill, his sons were still young, the empire had no prince, and the ruling and opposition parties were in panic.

At this delicate moment, King Guang, who had long been forgotten by the world, suddenly returned to Chang'an unexpectedly, surrounded by the eunuch Qiu Gongwu, Ma Yuanzhi and others.

In the late spring of this year, Guangwang Li Yi became "Emperor Taishu" and changed her name to Li Chen.

Everyone knows that the word "Tai" is added to the title of "Uncle Emperor", which is the symbol of the prince.The mentally handicapped people back then are about to become the real dragon emperor in the Golden Luan Hall! Almost everyone finds it unbelievable and inconceivable.

But they soon recovered.

Because King Guang was brought back by the eunuch Qiu Gongwu and others.And what the eunuchs need is a puppet—a wimpy and answering person who can be manipulated by them! In this case, King Guang is of course the best candidate.Among the many princes in Li Tang's clan, who is more suitable to be this puppet than King Guang?
During the ceremony where the eunuch Li Chen met with the civil and military officials, the eunuch Qiu Gongwu's face was always filled with an exuberant smile.

Yes, he had reason to laugh like that.He knew several years ago that what he fished out of the stinking palace toilet was not an insignificant fool, but an important political bargaining chip! He knew that he would be able to put him on the throne one day, and then take control of it logically affairs of state!
Now that everything has finally gotten his wish, Qiu Gongwu certainly has reason to smile so brilliantly.

However, in the following days, when Li Chen started to deal with government affairs, Qiu Gongwu couldn't laugh.

Because Li Chen in front of him suddenly became extremely strange.He has a majestic expression, calm eyes, calm and forceful speech and demeanor, and orderly decision-making on government affairs. He looks like a different person from before!
Qiu Gongwu was both shocked and confused.

Could it be said that this is the true face of King Guang?
Could it be that he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for the past 36 years, and has been hiding his true self?
It was not until this time that Qiu Gongwu suddenly realized that the reason why Wu Zong wanted to put this "fool Guangshu" to death again and again in the past was because under his stupid and stupid appearance, ordinary people were hidden. Competence and strategy.

But now it is too late to understand, because the raw rice has already been cooked, Qiu Gongwu realizes in sorrow and helplessness-all this he deliberately did, in the end he just made a wedding dress for Li Chen!
As soon as Xuanzong Li Chen took the throne, he used a series of thunderous methods.Having tolerated most of his life, he seemed to be eager to overthrow everything that Wuzong Li Yan had established.

The first to bear the brunt was Li Deyu, the powerful prime minister of the Wu Zong dynasty, and his party members.Li Deyu was dismissed on the second day of Li Chen’s official ruling. In just over a year thereafter, Xuanzong Li Chen demoted all important Li Party members from the court, completely negated Huichang’s politics with actions, and quickly promoted him. A group of newcomers have completed the exchange of central politics, and he has established his own management team.

The reason why Li Chen reigned in Dazhong era was hailed as "Xiaozhen Guan" by later generations, largely because of Xuanzong Li Chen's self-discipline and diligence.
