First, Tang Ruizong ascended the throne twice.
Tang Ruizong Li Dan is a very legendary emperor because he ascended the throne twice. Six years after ascending the throne for the first time, Li Dan voluntarily ceded the throne to his mother, Wu Zetian. Only 2 years after ascending the throne for the second time, Li Dan took the initiative to cede the throne to his son Li Longji .
good guy, I have seen the one who gave in, but I have never seen the one who gave in twice.
When Tang Gaozong died, he originally passed the throne to his third direct son Li Xian , which is Tang Zhongzong . It is a pity that Tang Zhongzong Li Xiantai did not listen to Wu Zetian's words, and he was abolished by Wu Zetian after only 55 days in office.
Since then, Wu Zetian passed the throne to Li Zhi's fourth son, Tang Ruizong Li Dan, but the military and political power in the court has always been in the hands of Wu Zetian, and Li Dan is completely a puppet.
Li Dan's heart is very entangled, the old lady's methods are so fierce, maybe one day she will give herself to Huo Huo. Rather than my mother doing it herself, it is better to give up the big position on your own initiative. Therefore, after he worked as a puppet for 6 years, in AD 690, he took the initiative to cede the throne to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian felt that this doll was very sensible, so he did his part, declared himself emperor decisively, and changed the Li Tang dynasty to the Wu Zhou dynasty. In a sense, Tang Ruizong Li Dan also once served as the emperor of the subjugation of the Tang Dynasty.
15 years later, that is, in AD 705, 82-year-old Wu Zetian was dying, Zhang Jianzhi and other 8 ministers launched the Shenlong coup , and re-established Li Xian, who was the then King of Luling , as the emperor, and Tang Zhongzong was reset like this . He was the first emperor to recreate Datang .
Five years later, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was poisoned by his own empress Webster, and daughter Anle Princess . Empress Wei made Tang Zhongzong's youngest son Li Chongmao the emperor, and then learned Wu Zetian's approach to the dynasty. It was as if she was about to become the second female emperor!
At this time, Wu Zetian's daughter Taiping Princess , together with his nephew Li Longji, launched the famous Tang Long coup . They killed Empress Wei, Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er and others, and recaptured Li Tang's regime.
Under the coercion of Princess Taiping, Li Chongmao ceded the throne to his uncle Li Dan. Therefore, in AD 710, Tang Ruizong Li Dan took the throne again and changed Yuan Jingyun. The period of Tang Jingyun at the beginning of "The Story of Tang Dynasty" refers to the two years when Tang Ruizong Li Dan ascended the throne for the second time.
Second, the prince is not the eldest son of Tang Ruizong, but Li Longji.
Tang Ruizong Li Dan basically did nothing in Tang Long's coup, so he refused to be the emperor many times. However, his son Linzi King Li Longji has made great efforts, and with the strong support of his sister Taiping Princess, Li Dan can only take this order.
To tell the truth, Tang Ruizong Li Dan was very Buddhist. He was used to the intrigues of Wu Zetian's period, so he didn't want to go to the pinnacle of power at all. In the work experience, there is one item of being an emperor, and it is not convenient to change jobs.
After Tang Ruizong came to power, he named his original wife Liu Shi as the queen. When Liu Shi was secretly killed by Wu Zetian, Tang Ruizong always apologized to her. In this way, Liu's son, Li Xian, became the eldest son of Tang Ruizong.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of primogeniture. There is a direct descendant, but no direct descendant, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with Li Xian as the eldest son, becoming the prince of Tang Ruizong, and inheriting the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
The problem is, Tang Ruizong has a very powerful concubine, that is Li Longji, the king of Linzi. Li Longji played a key role in Tang Long's coup. He joined forces with his aunt, Princess Taiping, to push his father Li Dan to the throne again.
If Tang Ruizong insists on making Li Xian, who has no credit, as the crown prince, will he make it again?Become Xuanwumen change ? Without waiting for Tang Ruizong to solve this problem, Li Xian took the lead in resigning. His reason was very simple: in times of peace, the eldest son can be established to inherit the throne, and when the country is in trouble, a meritorious prince should be established.
These words can be regarded as talking about the heart of the father. In fact, Tang Ruizong is also very worried. If he forcibly establishes Li Xian as the prince, Li Longji will probably learn from the Li Shimin of the year, slaughter his brother and lock up his father. , to be the emperor himself.
Li Xian was so knowledgeable that everyone was relieved, and Li Longji became the prince so logically. The prince in "The Story of Tang Dynasty" is the famous Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
3. Why are the princess and the prince so enemies?
Obviously, the princess who holds real power in the play is Princess Taiping. As Wu Zetian's daughter, Princess Taiping's appeal is still very strong. She has both the blood of the old Li family and the old Wu family.
In Tang Long's coup, Princess Taiping and Li Longji were comrades-in-arms, and they worked together to defeat the Queen Wei Group. But from this time on, Princess Taiping and Li Longji parted ways. The reason for
is very simple. If there is no common enemy, then each other becomes the biggest enemy. How can the senior management of
have any long-term partners? Either you surrender to me or I'll kill you, it's that simple. Princess Taiping holds real power. Of the 7 prime ministers in the court, 5 are her people.
The three sons of Princess Taiping, Wu Chongxing, Wu Chongmin, Xue Chongjian, and were all named kings, and they all had to follow the advice of Princess Taiping in matters related to the court, medium and large, as well as the promotion and appointment of officials. can say that the Datang at that time was really the Princess Taiping who had the final say.
But we need to know that the then prince Li Longji was not a softie, he was a very assertive person. Therefore, Li Longji was very disgusted with his aunt's meddling in government affairs, so the two sides finally broke up. Tang Ruizong Li Dan wanted to be a peacemaker, trying his best to maintain a balance between the two. The historical background of the "Story of the Tang Dynasty" is roughly the period when the aunt and nephew were fighting.
In order to keep her position, Princess Taiping plans to abolish this capable nephew and replace a prince with no opinion as a prince. So she did a series of jobs.
- No. 1, Princess Taiping began to spread rumors that Li Longji was not the eldest son and should not be established as the prince. The real prince should be Li Xian, the eldest son of Tang Ruizong.
- Second, Princess Taiping sent someone to secretly monitor Li Longji, as long as he made a little mistake, Princess Taiping would catch him and go to Tang Ruizong Li Dan to complain.
- was third, and finally Princess Taiping simply had a showdown, and directly began to collude with a group of cronies, planning to kill Li Longji.
good guy, aunts and nephews are so troubled that there is no turning back. Seeing the incompatibility between his sister and son, Tang Ruizong Li Dan was also anxious, and finally he thought of an extreme solution, which was to give in again.
Tang Ruizong Li Dan had only reigned for 2 years this time, so he hurriedly ceded the throne to his son Li Longji and changed Yuan Xiantian. Obviously, in the two camps of sister and son, Li Dan chose his son.
ending: congenital coup , Li Longji finally has the world.
Among the 7 prime ministers in the court, 5 are from Princess Taiping, and at least half of the civil servants and generals in the court are also under the command of Princess Taiping. This situation made it impossible for Tang Xuanzong Li Longji to completely grasp the political affairs and sit firmly in the country. Therefore, if the power of Princess Taiping is not eliminated, then he will be considered lonely when he ascends the throne.
Princess Taiping is not idle here, she knows that her nephew is going to do it, so she also wants to do it. Princess Taiping summoned Yongzhou Long Shi Xinxing Wang Li Jin, Zuo Yulin General Chang Yuankai, Zhiyou Yulin General Li Ci, Zuo Jinwu General Li Qin and other confidants planned to launch a coup. On the other hand, he contacted the palace maid, Yuan Shi, and planned to let her poison Li Longji's gastrodia elata powder.
As a result, Tang Xuanzong attacked first, arresting Princess Taiping's henchmen, forcing Princess Taiping to flee into the mountains. Three days later, Princess Taiping was captured, and Tang Ruizong Li Dan came to intercede with his son Li Longji, hoping to spare Princess Taiping. As a result, it was decisively rejected by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and Princess Taiping was finally given to die at home, which is called a congenital change in history.
In fact, Tang Ruizong is very contradictory. He should have thought of this result when he gave up the throne. I have no power in my hands, and I have to intervene in this kind of thing. Isn't this a joke?
