The Historical Background and Causes of the Prosperous Era of Kaiyuan
1, background and reasons

Background: After Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, the Tang Dynasty entered a short period of chaos. Later, Wei Hou and Princess Anle conspired to poison Li Xian, the emperor of Zhongzong, and made the puppet Chongmao a little emperor, who was in charge of the power and obeyed his orders. Wei Hou is unscrupulous, Princess Anle sells her official publicly, and her state affairs are extremely corrupt. During the eight years after Wu abdicated, coups continued and the political situation was turbulent. In the third year of Jing Yun (AD 7 12), Emperor Li Dan of Zong Rui gave way to Li Longji as Xuanzong. After Xuanzong smashed Princess Taiping Group, he immediately "talked about martial arts at the foot of the mountain, recruited 200,000 soldiers and ran more than 50 miles with flags". And exiled Guo, beheaded Tang Shao's imperial power, and gradually stabbed the king of England (transferred from Beijing to serve as a secretariat in other places).

Reason: After the imperial power was stabilized, Xuanzong began to rectify the Chaogang and appoint talents. Yao Chong, Lu Huaishen, Song Jing, Zhang and Yuan were six prime ministers carefully selected by Xuanzong in the early years of Kaiyuan. They all knew the strategy of governing the country and devoted themselves to state affairs. Xuanzong relied on these sages to develop the economy and stabilize the political situation.
