During Li Yu's reign, he reformed the grain transportation, salt price and grain price, and implemented the fiscal policy of "supporting the people first". However, in order to temporarily stabilize our time, it caused a separatist situation in the buffer regions. He died in 779, and the name of the temple was passed down from generation to generation.

Tang Daizong Li Yu

The filial piety of Emperor Wudi was afraid of Su Zong's eldest son Yu, whose mother was called the Empress Dowager. On December 13th, the 14th year of Kaiyuan (October, 726+ 17), he was born in Shangyang Palace in Dudong.

After Tang Daizong succeeded to the throne, Li Li made a great contribution, relying on this pride, and even said to Dai Zong: "As long as your majesty lives in the palace, the outside politics will be handled by the old slave." Although Dai Zong was dissatisfied, he was awed by his military strength and had to compromise, calling him a respected father. No matter big or small, you should discuss with him before making a decision. Soon, Dai Zongcheng took advantage of Li's unprepared, sent someone to assassinate Li as a thief, then pretended to order the pursuit of the thief, and sent messengers from the palace to mourn his family.

In October 762 (the first year of Baoying), Daizong appointed Wang Yong Shili as general and Shuofang as deputy marshal of our army, and borrowed 100,000 soldiers from Uighur to attack Luoyang, Tokyo, which was occupied by rebels again. Shi Chaoyi was defeated (now Renqiu North, Hebei Province), and Shi Chaoyi led Li, Li Huaixian and Tian to surrender to Tang Jun one after another. In the first month of 763 AD (the first year of Guangde), Shi Chaoyi hanged himself while betraying his relatives and friends. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has completely put down the Anshi Rebellion which lasted for seven years and three months. However, after this war, the Tang Dynasty was greatly weakened, from prosperity to decline. The separatist regime in the east, the Tibetan invasion in the west, and the difficult situation in which Uighurs in the north exchanged horses at high prices. Daizong superstitious Buddhism, encouraged temples to occupy many fertile fields and beautiful houses, and the national finance and economy went from bad to worse.

Because of the rebellion against Anshi, most of the troops in the west were withdrawn, and Tubo took advantage of the weakness to go deep into the mainland and attack the Tang Dynasty on a large scale, occupying more than ten States west of Fengxiang in Shaanxi and north of Fenzhou. In October 763 (the first year of Guangde), he occupied Fengtian (now Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province) and arrived at the gate of Chang 'an, scaring Daizong to take refuge in Shaanxi. As a result, the Tubo soldiers occupied Chang 'an, and they took Li Chenghong, Emperor Guangwu of the Tang Dynasty, as their own ruling tool. The soldiers burned and plundered Chang 'an, and Chang 'an was looted.

In times of crisis, Dai Zong hastily appointed Guo Ziyi as deputy marshal (Wang Yong Shili as nominal marshal) to meet Tubo. Guo Ziyi actively organized troops to fight back against Tufan. He ordered his eldest grandson to ride out of Lantian, Shaanxi Province at a rate of 200, beating gongs and drums during the day, raising flags and shouting, and making a fire at night. Hundreds of people sneaked into Chang 'an in disguise and organized the city people to tell stories everywhere: "Guo (that is, Zi Yi) led the army!" Tufan soldiers were frightened and left without fighting. They all left Chang 'an. 15 The occupied Chang 'an was recovered by Tang Jun.

In 7631February, Dai Zong returned to Chang 'an, and Guo Ziyi pleaded guilty. Dai Zong said, "I didn't need Qing long ago, so I am here." He was given an iron coupon (free from death) and painted in Lingyange to commend his contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Sun Ziquan Xu and others have also been promoted in rank and title. At the same time, Cheng's official position was also removed and put back in the field.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, there have been many internal contradictions in the Tang Dynasty. In 763 (the first year of Guangde), Pugu Wynn rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. In August 765 (the first year of Yongtai), Pugu Huai En led 300,000 troops from Huayin to Lantian, and took Chang 'an directly. The capital was frightened by the earthquake. Dai Zhong told Guo Ziyi to stay in Jingyang City, north of Chang 'an, and Pu Gu died of sudden illness in the army. Guo Ziyi rode alone, saying that Uighur broke Tubo, which saved the Tang Dynasty.

On the second day of May in 779 AD (the 14th year of Dali), news came from the palace that Daizong was ill. This disease is very serious. In less than ten days, Daizong will not be able to go to court. On may 20, the imperial edict was issued, allowing the crown prince to supervise the country. That night, Dai Zong died in Chen Zi's inner hall (A.D. 10 June 1979).
