The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, also known as the Seven Kings Rebellion, took place in the early Western Han Dynasty in China, three years before Emperor Jingdi (BC 154). Liu Ying, the King of Wu, participated in the Six-country Victory led by Liu Ai, Liu Yingguang, Jiao Xi 'ang and Jiao Dong.
At that time, due to the principle of "ruling by doing nothing", Liu Zongshi became more and more powerful, so he became arrogant and confronted the court everywhere.
During the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he felt the threat of the vassal state with the same surname and began to weaken the influence of the vassal state. In the early years of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, the policy of reducing vassals in an all-round way attracted the dissatisfaction of governors who had long wanted to rebel, especially the prince of Wu and Liu Bi. Because when Emperor Jing of Han was the Crown Prince, he killed the king of Wu with a chessboard because of a dispute over details.
Second, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty
The Eight Kings Rebellion was an internal struggle between Ma Shi, the ruling class in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Wang Shi, the same surname, for the central government. It lasted 16 years (29 1-306 years), which was an unprecedented civil strife in the history of China, and caused national subjugation and nearly 300 years of turmoil. Civil strife that lasted 16 years.
The core figures of this power struggle are Sima Liang, King of Runan, Sima Wei, Zhao Sima Lun, Qi Sima Yi, Wang Sima Wa in Changsha, Sima Ying in Chengdu, Sima Yu in Hejian and Sima Yue in the East China Sea.
This turmoil began with the power struggle of the imperial court, and then led to war, which caused great damage to society and aggravated the ruling crisis of the Western Jin Dynasty. China entered the "Five Chaos" era, which became an important factor for the rapid demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
At that time, the demented emperor Sima Zhong became a real puppet plaything in the whole power struggle. It can be said that the successor chosen by Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, was the biggest failure in his life!
Third, the "Change of Xuanwu Gate" in the Tang Dynasty
The "Xuanwumen Rebellion" was a bloody coup staged by General Ce Tian and Tang Gaozu's second son, Li Shimin Li Yuan, on the 4th day of Gengshen (July 2nd, AD 626) near Xuanwumen, the North Palace Gate of the Tainei Palace in Wude, Tang Gaozu. As a result, Li, the eldest brother, and Li Yuanji, the fourth brother of Qi, were killed, and they became the new Crown Prince and succeeded to the throne.
In May of the 13th year of Great Cause (6 17), Tang Guogong Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, set out for Jinyang with the support of his son Li Shimin. In May of the second year of Yining (6 18), Li Yuan usurped Sui as emperor, with the title of Tang, made his eldest son a prince, made him king of Qin, and made Li Yuanji king of Qi.
Fourth, the "Dragon Coup" in the Tang Dynasty.
On the Double Ninth Festival in 690, 67-year-old Wu Zetian officially realized her dream of being a queen, calling herself "Emperor of the Holy Spirit", and changed her flag to red on1/month to establish the Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Li Dan of the Tang Dynasty was reduced to heir, and Crown Prince Li Xian was reduced to great-grandson.
A week after Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty, Wu's sons and nephews were immediately appointed as prime ministers and generals, and those who made meritorious deeds were also given the surname Wu, and the land tax of Wu in the world was cancelled, and Wenshui County was changed to Wuxing County. Obviously, she wants to be a descendant of the Wu family.
At that time, Wu Zetian intended to make Wu Sansi a prince, and asked the courtiers if it was feasible. Ministers looked at each other, afraid to answer. As a staunch supporter of Li, Emperor persuaded Wu Zetian to welcome King Luling as his successor and saved himself from disaster by supporting the new emperor.
In September of the first year of Chang 'an (70 1), Wu Zetian finally sent Xu Yanbo to secretly see King Luling back to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, which made Wu, who wanted to be an heir, furious.
In her later years, Wu Zetian benefited from the careful service of two brothers, Toy Boy Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang, introduced by her daughter Princess Taiping, and entrusted them to senior officials, thus becoming her closest confidant in her later years. The minister of civil and military affairs was deeply frightened by the second Zhang Qian municipal office, and there were many comments in the ruling and opposition circles.
V. "Political Changes in Tang Long" in Tang Dynasty
The political revolution of the Tang Dynasty, also known as the "Tang Revolution", took place on July 2, 765,438 (the fourth year of Tang Zhongzong Jinglong, the first year of Emperor Taizong), which was a palace coup jointly sponsored by Li Longji, the third son of King Li Dan at that time, and Princess Taiping in the imperial capital Chang 'an.
Li Longji killed Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle with the imperial army, and completely wiped out the Webster Group. As a result of this coup, Li Zhongmao, less than a month after he ascended the throne, abdicated, Li Dan was restored as Tang Ruizong, Li Longji was established as Crown Prince, and Princess Taiping became stronger.
After the restoration of the Dragon Revolution, Tang Zhongzong indulged his wife, Wei Hou, who was in trouble with him, which led to the state affairs being gradually controlled by the Wei Hou family. Princess Anle, the seventh daughter of Zhongzong, used Zhongzong's ink to accept bribes, sell officials and titles, and even set the precedent of "the emperor's wife".
With the help of Wei Hou and Zhao Rong Shangguan Waner, Wu Sansi became prime minister. In the imperial court, the Wu-Wei dictatorship group headed by the Wei family was formed. They colluded with each other to suppress Zhang Jianzhi and other dragon revolutionary heroes.
In July of the third year of Shenlong (707), Prince Li Zhongjun launched a mutiny and killed Wu Sansi and his son. But because the emperor was still in middle school, Yu Linjun defected and was finally defeated and killed.
