Li Cui

Li Cui (Tang Yizong) ordered the suppression of the rebellion led by Pang Xun, a mutineer from the southern frontier. The rebellion was crushed after a year of fighting, but it exposed the weakening of Tang military control and foreshadowed larger revolts.

During the later years of Li Cui's reign, widespread famine and banditry erupted across the empire. He failed to implement effective relief measures or military reforms, allowing conditions to worsen that would lead to the Huang Chao Rebellion after his death.
