A Concise History of China-Pangu to Puyi - Part 9
October 21, 2026
Laszlo Montgomery (0:00)
Welcome back, everyone. Laszlo Montgomery here with another episode of The China History Podcast. This is part nine of the remake of the Pangu to Puyi overview. We made it to the seventh century last time, and if all goes well, we'll witness a patented CHP rush to the finish to the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907…
By the time Tang Gāozōng died in 683, his wife and empress had been sitting in for him and making all the important decisions and rearranging all the palace furniture and personnel such that there was no ambiguity about who was the most powerful person in the empire and who called all the shots.
