Chapter 139: Several Endings of the Battle between the Two Palaces of Dongwu
Tang Dynasty, first year of Jianzhong
In this year, Emperor Dezong of Tang, Li Shi, appointed Cui Youfu as prime minister, and his administration was clean and simple, showing a revival of the country. He thought he was a king of revival, but the government didn't give him face at all. Not only was his ability to govern the country questioned, but he was also accused of doing nothing in his later years.
Li Shi was very dissatisfied, and vowed to revive the Li Tang dynasty at the beginning of his reign!
Prime Minister Cui Youfu showed concern on his face. "Your Majesty, the 'Jingyuan Incident'. From the information provided by the light curtain before, it is not difficult to conclude that there must have been a mutiny in Jingyuan. The fourth year of Jianzhong is only four years ago. We must be cautious in reducing the power of the vassal states, so as not to make the Jiedushi dissatisfied and unite against the court."
"What the prime minister said is true. I will definitely remember it." Li Shi couldn't help but remind him, "Prime Minister Cui should also take care of his health. I can't live without the prime minister."
Cui Youfu covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your concern for me."
Although Li Shi was worried about Cui Youfu's health, he still valued the country more, so he asked, "Is there anyone who can take on the position of prime minister?"
After thinking for a moment, Cui Youfu said, "Yang Yan is worthy of being a prime minister, but he is narrow-minded and may harm the public interest in the future. Your Majesty must not let him monopolize power."

Tang Dynasty, the 12th year of Yuanhe
"..."
Emperor Xianzong of Tang, Li Chun, laughed. All three of Li Heng's sons became emperors.
"Wuzong, Xuanzong..." These are the emperors who achieved more in later years mentioned by the light curtain. Wuzong is Li Heng's son, and Xuanzong is his younger brother.
Let's think about these later. Li Chun turned his attention back to reducing the power of the vassal states. The Huaixi Rebellion had been quelled not long ago, and Pei Du recommended a man named Han Yu.
Han Yu was specially ordered to come with Pei Du today. Li Chun suddenly remembered that Han Yu seemed to have been mentioned in the light curtain. Was it because of Li He?
"Is Li He recovered from his illness? I am still waiting for him."
Han Yu knew that he had won the emperor's favor. "Although he looked sick, he always wanted to serve the country."
"Well, I will first posthumously grant Li He the title of Jinshi, and when he gets better, I will fill the position of Zuo Buque."
......
After the Huaixi Rebellion was quelled, Han Yu was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Su was appointed Jiedushi of Shannan East Road, Shangzhuguo, and was granted the title of Duke of Liang.
Li Chun exercised diligently every day, and also took Prince Li Song and others with him.

Tang Dynasty, the second year of Huichang
"I am lucky to have Wenrao." Li Deyu's elimination of bad policies was a powerful weapon for the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Wuzong Li Yan thought of the phrase "mutual understanding between the ruler and his subject", and his eyes turned more gentle when he looked at Li Deyu.
Li Deyu felt embarrassed to see the words praising himself on the screen, so he had to thank the emperor.
"I will never take the golden elixir again. I will take good care of my body and work with the prime minister to create the 'Huaichang Reign'."
Li Deyu was moved and said, "If the king trusts his subjects, the subjects will never let him down."
Li Chun straightened the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Ha, Li Chen, are you worthy of being called "Little Taizong"?
----
Tang Dynasty Dazhong Year 5
boom!
Tang Xuanzong Li Chen was incompetent and furious. He could not swallow the fact that Guangmu had praised Wuzong many times and looked down on him.
"Oh, Li Deyu actually received a good evaluation, which shows how I, who demoted Li Deyu to death, cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery."
After no longer worrying about fame, Li Chen continued to handle state affairs.
The court and the people had a very good opinion of Li Chen. They all said that His Majesty governed the country with diligence and frugality, cared for the people, reduced taxes, and focused on the selection of talents, and that he was a wise ruler.
In August of this year, Zhang Yichao returned to the Tang Dynasty. At this point, except for Liangzhou, the Hexi region, which had been occupied by Tubo for nearly a hundred years, returned to the Tang Dynasty.

[Several endings of the dispute between the two palaces of Dongwu]
[The dispute between the two palaces in the court of Eastern Wu (the dispute over the throne) has been going on for eight years.
The 69-year-old Sun Quan finally issued an edict: a purge of all those involved in the dispute between the two palaces.
Historical ending: Crown Prince Sun He was deposed, and King of Lu Sun Ba was sentenced to death, and his youngest son Sun Liang was enthroned. After Sun Liang ascended the throne, he joined forces with Princess Quan to plot to get rid of the powerful minister Sun Chen. The plot was leaked, and he was deposed as King of Kuaiji. He died mysteriously on the way to his fiefdom.
Normal ending: Sun Quan did not go crazy in his later years, the Ergong Rebellion did not happen, and Sun He ascended the throne.
Better outcome: The sixth son Sun Xiu was enthroned as the new emperor, and Eastern Wu entered the reign of Emperor Jing in advance.
Better ending: Sun He and Sun Ba are friendly and respectful brothers with no conflicts, and the butterfly falls into the dispute between the two palaces.
Perfect ending: Crown Prince Sun Deng did not die young, the Ergong Rebellion did not happen, and he successfully inherited the throne.
The ending of the empress: Sun Quan persuaded his ministers and finally made his most beloved daughter, Sun Luban, the crown princess, and Sun Luban became the empress.
Saint Sun's Ending: Sun Quan lived to be 71 years old, so he simply appointed Sun Hao as the crown prince, and named him "Peng Zu". The Eastern Wu entered its final stage ahead of time. 】
＜Sun Hao's real name likes, what a saintly Sun [covering his face]＞
＜It is impossible to achieve the 'normal ending' and 'better ending' because of the presence of the great tiger Sun Luban＞
＜The Good Saint Sun cannot be Sun Hao, but Sun Ying, the son of Sun Deng, the Crown Prince of Xuan＞
＜Sun Hao was not cruel in his early years, but his temperament changed drastically in the end, probably because he was frightened by the powerful officials＞
＜Three people entered the underworld [dog head]
"I was killed because I supported Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu."
"I was killed because I opposed Sun Ba, the King of Lu."
"I am Sun Ba, the King of Lu"＞
＜Hahaha, Han jokes never get old＞
＜Ninomiya Rebellion, the trouble-making Taihu＞
＜I support Da Hu to become the empress [laughs]＞
＜Sun Quan, the old man, made his youngest son the heir, which was really the downfall of the Second Palace Rebellion. Look at how chaotic things became in the Eastern Wu after him, with successive emperors and powerful ministers emerging＞
＜Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun, and Sun Chen liked this＞
＜To be honest, the system of primogeniture is the best system. Although it may produce mediocre kings, it can at least maintain stability.＞
＜From this perspective, abolishing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son is really the root of all trouble＞
＜The best ending would really be if Sun Deng didn’t die. Sun Quan really went crazy in his later years, angering Lu Xun to death and scolding Zhang Zhao to death＞
＜The people of Shu Han said: Happiness is when there is only one successor to take sides.
The people of Cao Wei said: Happiness is choosing the right successor.
People in the Eastern Wu say: Happiness is when someone knocks on your door at night and tells you, "You have been arrested by His Majesty because of the issue of who is your successor," and you can shout, "You have come to the wrong door. I am a minister from the Shu Han who is visiting."
＜The young emperor who knows nothing about the world, the regent named Zhuge, the change of the reign title to Jianxing, tsk tsk tsk, not everyone is Zhuge Liang＞
＜The dispute between the two palaces was actually Sun Quan's attempt to balance power. The regents he left for Sun Liang: Zhuge Ke was ambitious but incompetent, Teng Yin was indecisive, Sun Jun was sinister and vicious, and Sun Hong was ambitious. None of them came from a local noble family. Later, Sun Jun's brother Sun Chen deposed Sun Liang, who was appointed by Sun Quan. This is just raising a poison and letting it go crazy [split]＞
＜The country is in doubt when the ruler is young, especially during the turbulent Three Kingdoms era＞
＜The dispute between the two palaces in the Eastern Wu Dynasty had become so serious, and Li Shimin dared to appoint a crown prince and favor another son. Judging from the results, Li Zhi was more capable than Sun Liang.＞
＜Cao Cao: If I had a son, I would want him to be like Sun Zhongmou [laughing and crying]＞
