He was a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, with an unobstructed official career throughout his life and a good death at the age of 71. So who is this person? Interested readers and history encyclopedia editors, let’s take a look together!
Du Huangshang, the son of Du Wan, a military officer recruited by the Jingzhao Bureau, was a prime minister during the Tang Dynasty. Du Huangshang was born into the Du family of Jingzhao, one of the famous aristocratic families in history. Throughout the dynasties, the Du family of Jingzhao mostly held official positions and produced many famous figures. Therefore, Du Huangshang came from a family of officials.
When Du Huangshang was young, he passed the imperial examination and was highly valued by the prime minister Du Hongjian. Later, he entered the Guo Ziyi shogunate and served as a member of the Shuofang army. Du Huangshang is very intelligent and steady, so he can take on great responsibilities.
Li Huaiguang once issued a false edict, intending to execute the general who replaced Guo Ziyi. Du Huangshang immediately recognized that the edict was forged, and Li Huaiguang’s conspiracy did not succeed. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Du Huangshang served as an imperial censor. He had a disagreement with Pei Yanling and did not receive promotion for ten years. Pei Yanling was a favored minister of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, who once had power over the court and the public. He was also a major traitor of the Tang Dynasty, and even the upright prime ministers in the court could not tolerate him. Pei Yanling secretly framed him, resulting in several people being dismissed from their positions.
After Emperor Shunzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, Du Huangshang was promoted to the position of Taichang Temple Minister. Crown Prince Li Chun was in charge of the country, and Du Huangshang was promoted to the position of Deputy Minister of the Ministry and concurrently served as the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat. Later, Liu Pi, the deputy governor of Xichuan, rebelled, and Du Huangshang proposed a strategy of prioritizing the use of resources, which greatly contributed to the pacification of the domain.
Du Huangshang passed away in 808 at the age of 71. Du Huangshang experienced four emperors throughout her life, was magnanimous, and ultimately had a good ending.
