Zhu Wen (852-912), Han nationality, was born in Wugouli, Dangshan Mountain, on October 21, the sixth year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty (AD 852).

.

He initially participated in the Huangchao uprising, but later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was given the name Quanzhong by Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty. When he proclaimed himself emperor and established the Houliang Dynasty, he changed his name to Huang, which means light like the sun, and his temple name was Taizu.

When Zhu Wen was young, he worked with his mother as a domestic servant in Liu Chong's family in Xiao County.

Later, he joined the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao and followed the army into Chang'an.

In the first month of the second year of Zhonghe in the Tang Dynasty (882), Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen as the defense envoy of Tongzhou (now Dali, Shaanxi).

In September of the same year, Zhu Wen rebelled and surrendered to Wang Chongrong, the envoy of Jiedushi in Hezhong of Tang Dynasty (today's Yongji West of Shanxi Province). Emperor Xizong appointed Zhu Wen as the general of Jinwuwei and served as the deputy envoy to the camp in Hezhong, giving him the name Quanzhong.

The next year, he changed the Xuanwu Army to Jiedushi (today's Kaifeng, Henan Province), and recruited envoys from all over the northeast.

In four years, Quanzhong, Li Keyong and other coalition forces suppressed the Huangchao uprising.

More than ten years later, in the same year, Prime Minister Cui Yin summoned Quanzhong into the pass, killed the eunuchs who had robbed and moved Zhaozong, and sent Zhaozong out of the city.

After Zhaozong returned to Chang'an, Quanzhong executed all the eunuchs and abolished Shence's army. From then on, Zhaozong was fully controlled by Quanzhong and became a puppet.

In the first year of Tianyou (904), Quanzhong forced Zhaozong to move his capital to Luoyang, and then sent people to kill him and establish his son (Emperor Ai).

Later, he demoted and killed Prime Minister Dugu Sun and more than 30 court officials.

In four years, Zhu Quanzhong deposed Li Dai and proclaimed himself emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He changed his name to Huang, which was Taizu of Later Liang.

The capital was Kaifeng (later the capital was moved to Luoyang for a time), the country was named Liang, and it was called Houliang in history.

Changed to Yuan Dynasty and Kaiping.

This also opened the chapter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Before Zhu Wen became emperor, he paid more attention to agricultural production. He once appointed Zhang Quanyi as Henan Yin to restore production in Luoyang.

In the second year of Kaiping (908), all states were ordered to eliminate locusts to benefit farmers.

For three years, he fought against Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, the Shatuo nobles who occupied Taiyuan, and his father and son. They lost a lot of manpower and property and gradually lost their military advantage.

He was cruel by nature and killed indiscriminately.

In his later years, because the heir to the throne was undecided, internal conflicts within the royal family became acute.

In the second year of Qianhua (912), he was killed by his second son Zhu Yougui.

[Edit this paragraph] The Tang Dynasty declined in Chinese history. The most powerful and culturally developed country was the Tang Dynasty.

From the time when Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Wude (618 AD), to when Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang Dynasty in the first year of Kaiping (907 AD), for nearly three hundred years, China's politics, economy, culture and even law, etc.

All aspects have had their most glorious period.

But after Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne in the first year of Kaiyuan (713 AD), the Tang Dynasty also reached a turning point.

In the early period, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty worked hard to govern and appointed good ministers, creating the famous "Kaiyuan Age" in history. The economy of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak. The great poet Du Fu wrote a poem in memory in his later years: "Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Xiaoyi still has treasures.

Ten thousand families", but the Tang Dynasty began to decline from the late reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (AD 755), An Lushan launched a rebellion. The eight-year Anshi Rebellion made the declining Tang Dynasty even worse.

Internal and external troubles piled up one after another, and uprisings and rebellions continued. The glorious Tang Dynasty finally embarked on a path of decline.

Although the direct cause of the fall of the Tang Dynasty was the Huangchao Uprising, the reasons for the outbreak of the Huangchao Uprising were a combination of many factors, which can be roughly summarized into three categories: separatist rule of vassal towns, eunuch dictatorship and crony warfare. These reasons led to political corruption and

Darkness, corruption and darkness have led to the people's desperation. When they are desperate, the people have to riot and revolt in order to survive. This is what history often calls the government-forced people to rebel.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Emperor Taizong realized that his descendants did not stick to it for a long time. In the end, the surging water of the people overturned the dynasty.

The feudal town did not form a strong separatist force at first, but in the later years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he reused the eunuch Gao Lishi, who became increasingly obsolete. The political darkness gave the feudal town a good opportunity for development. In addition, some eunuchs colluded with internal and external forces, and the separatist power gradually

form.

Zhu Wen, who later destroyed the Tang Dynasty, held military power and occupied one side, which was also the inheritance of this form of feudal separatist rule.

It can be said that the separatist rule of vassal towns was a political cancer that caused the downfall of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the eunuch dictatorship, it is an important reason that directly leads to political darkness.

When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty launched a coup to kill Queen Wei, kill Princess Taiping, and completely rule the country, eunuchs played a big role.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty began to reuse Gao Lishi, but at this time the eunuchs did not have exclusive power.

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also began to doubt the military generals. The eunuchs were greatly favored. They began to control the army internally and supervise the generals externally. In the end, they regarded the emperor as something in the palm of their hands.

At the same time, the emperor only cared about enjoying himself in ignorance, eating all day long, ignoring political affairs, and allowed the country to deteriorate day by day.

The eunuch Qiu Shiliang was very representative. He instructed his disciples like this: "The emperor cannot let him be idle. He must often intoxicate him with beauties singing and dancing and fine clothes and delicious food, and he must change his tricks every day, so that he has no time to think about other things."

, then we can do things with confidence and boldness. At the same time, we try not to let him study, let alone give him the opportunity to get close to scholars, otherwise he will see the demise of the previous dynasty and worry about the future of the country, then we will be destroyed.

Alienation was reprimanded. "The eunuch dictatorship was also an important reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty. They were later executed by Zhu Wen, which was considered a punishment by history.

The third reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty was factionalism.

Fighting for power regardless of the safety of the country is a major feature of crony warfare.
