The Downfall In The Middle Of Tang Dynasty Around The Twenty-fourth Year Of Kaiyuan

The most glorious period of Tang Dynasty was the reign of Emperor Xuanzong,which is also called the Kaiyuan flourishing period.However,this is also the time when its downfall began.Xuanzong,as the emperor of the time,owed most of praise while he was also the person who was blamed the most.In my opinion,the most valuable lesson we learn from history is to take history as a mirror and to predict misfortune before it is too late.In the 24 th year of Kaiyuan,Zhang Jiuling was banished from the prime minister.Since then,the prime minister appointed by Xuanzong was no longer loyal,upright and virtuous.The emperor and his ministers were intoxicated in the prosperous times,while hidden dangers to the dynasty were around the corner.This paper,focuses on human resource deployment by Xuanzong and planes to observe the consistency and variability of Xuanzong's political thought in timeline.Li Longji was a mature politician,and the only and was very goal-focusing.Yao Chong and Song Jing were appointed to stabilize the political situation and consolidate the imperial power;Zhang Yue was deployed to whitewash the peace,celebrates merit;Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were appointed to grab people's wealth to be wealthy enough to awe the barbarians and to live a extravagant life.When found out that the use of the people was not consistent with his purpose,he would banish the person in place,such as Zhang Jiuling.According to Xuanzong,it doesn't matter whether it was right or not,he used different people to achieve different goals,and he would be a winner after all.However,the winner was the loser in the end,and Xuanzong was immersed in debaucheries,so he hires hypocrites and ignored the hidden trouble accumulating gradually.Too many lessons we learned from historical: Evil accumulates in very small things,while wisdom and courage are trapped by bad habits.Once people relax requirements to their own,disaster will come much faster than we think.We should always reflect and think how we should avoid similar mistakes in real life.A guide to the past is a guide to the future.Today,we should be thinking of danger during peace time.
