We saw that Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne and changed the country name to Zhou, which can be said to have created the history of women being emperors. When Wu Zetian became emperor, she also created a rare peace and prosperity in the history of China. However, she usurped the Li Tang regime, which made the old minister of the Li family indignant. Therefore, in Wu Zetian's later years, Li Tang loyalists headed by Zhang Jian launched a dragon coup, forcing Wu Zetian to step down and passing the throne to his son Tang Zhongzong Li Xian.
Li Zhongmao is also the fourth son of Li Xian, Tang Zhongzong. Wu Zetian was named King of Beihai at that time, and was later named King of Literature. When Wu Zetian stepped down and Li Xian in Tang Zhongzong was restored, she was also a mindless bad king. One of her bad habits is that she is afraid of her wife. As soon as she succeeded to the throne, she became the ambitious Queen Webster, and followed Li Zhi's example to let her participate in politics.
Since then, Wei Hou has colluded with Wu Sansi of the Wu Zetian family to interfere in state affairs. Tang Zhongzong Li Xian looks like a puppet emperor. After Wei Hou's dictatorship, Princess Anle, the daughter of Li Xian and Wei Hou, also had dictatorial ambitions, and her ambitions gradually expanded. They want to learn from Wu Zetian and create another female dictatorship. Li Xian is also a worthless man, who only knows how to accommodate his wife and daughter.
At that time, Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle poisoned Li Xian in order to seize power. At this point, we can see that Wei Hou and Princess Anle are heartless and angry. Wei Hou also forgot that Wu Zetian did not poison her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, but was pardoned by her son. In order to quell public anger, only one puppet, Li Zhongmao, a martyr of the Tang Dynasty who was not recognized in history, was made emperor at the reminder of the confidant minister.
At that time, Li Zhongmao was only fifteen years old, and he didn't know why he was pushed to the throne of the emperor. In fact, all this is also the strategy of the Queen Wei. After Wei ascended the throne, her daughter Princess Anle was appointed as the wife of the emperor and succeeded to the throne. We can see that the plot between the mother and daughter is very terrible!
However, not everyone has Wu Zetian's good luck and ability! In the puppet Tang Yizong's position 17 days, this incident was opposed by Li Longji and Princess Taiping. As a result, Li Zhongmao, who had been emperor for 17 days, was ousted by the political revolution in Tang Long, and Li Dan of Tang Ruizong returned to power.
Tang Ruizong Li Dan happens to be Li Longji's father and Princess Taiping's brother. Later, Li Longji and his aunt Princess Taiping joined forces to wipe out the influence of Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle with the imperial army, and returned the political power to the Li Tang Dynasty.
History is such a coincidence. Because of Li Zhongmao's abdication, the Tang Dynasty was born? Kaiyuan Shi Sheng? . But also because of Li Longji's succession, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline and never recovered? An Shi rebellion? .
