After the reign of Tang Emperor Suzong, there was no law and order, with rebel soldiers killing their commanders and rebel generals holding their emperors hostage – it became a commonplace during the Five Dynasties. 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. The disorder caused by regional governors reached its peak during the Huang Chao uprising, which led to the fragmentation of the country and the absence of order. This evil legacy had a far-reaching impact on the development of government policies during the early years of the Song dynasty, and continued to cause harm for centuries to come. This text is taken from a historical background and the main theme of this article is fictional, speculative and imaginative. Though the cover looks serious, the content is also quite serious.
