What is the reason why Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was called "Six Emperors Pill" by later generations?
Liuwei Dihuang Pill refers to: Li Xian's father is an emperor, his mother is an emperor, his brother is an emperor, his younger brother and nephew are emperors, and all six of them are emperors, so later generations nicknamed him Liuwei Dihuang Pill. Homophonic "Liuwei Dihuang Pill".

Speaking of Li Xian, although modern people always jokingly call him Liuwei Dihuang Pill, it seems terrible. In fact, Li Xian's life is also extremely tragic and unfortunate. I think if he had a choice, he certainly didn't want to be born in the royal family, let alone become a six-emperor pill.

I think Li Xian's mother Wu Zetian and his wife and children should have the deepest influence. His mother, Wu Zetian, is a woman who will do anything for the throne, and the degree of cruelty is simply outrageous. Li Xian's two brothers were killed because they prevented Wu Zetian from taking the upper position, which shows how flustered and fearful Li Xian was when he was in office. His wife never treats him like a man, and even does something extremely out of line in front of him, so Li Xian is also a particularly timid and worthless man in history. After he came to power for the second time, his daughter and mother conspired to poison him directly with a glass of poisoned wine. I think this is the worst thing. He was put on the blade by his mother who should have enjoyed maternal love. He should have been crucified with his wife fly, and he should have shared his family happiness with his daughter. He was poisoned by a glass of poisoned wine.

As the saying goes, being born in the royal family, while enjoying supreme glory and welfare, also took extremely high risks and accidentally ruined his life. Therefore, Li Xian's Six Emperors Pill is really a great irony to him.
