The emperor was like a traveler in a foreign land, while the people suffered greatly. The root of these troubles were the factions, eunuchs, and regional governors. The establishment of regional governors was meant for self-defense, but it ultimately led to their own downfall. With the regional governors holding power, the Tang dynasty was trapped and there was no hope for its revival. However, their support helped to keep the Tang dynasty from collapsing for one hundred and fifty years, until the An Lushan Rebellion led to its ultimate demise.
