Li Chongmao's father was Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chongmao was the younger son of Li Xian, who was made the King of Beihai at the age of 5 and later the King of Wen. Li Chongmao was inactive and cowardly, and he reigned as emperor for only a month before he was deposed and re-established as King Wen, so let's understand the introduction of Li Chongmao, the King of Wen.

Li Chongmao's mother is not recorded in detail, not even a surname, presumably a woman who has no influence on political history, and her status is low and low, especially in that era of valuing class status, and the emperor's harem is three thousand beautiful women, presumably a civilian daughter outside the palace.

Li Chongmao's father Li Xian, who lost and regained the throne of the emperor, regained the li clan from the hands of Wu Zetian, but was remembered by another woman as Li Xian's empress Wei Shi, who was poisoned by Wei Hou after only 6 years of restoration, and Wei Hou supported Li Chongmao the Prince of Wen as Emperor Tang, as a puppet emperor, who controlled the imperial power himself and wanted to be the second Wu Zetian.

The 16-year-old Wen king Li Chongmao ascended the throne as Emperor Tang, and in the same month, the "Tang Long Coup" launched by Li Longji and Princess Taiping hunted down and eliminated Wei Hou, but Li Chongmao, who thought he could be safe as emperor, was ousted from the imperial throne and re-established as King Wen, and the following year he was made King Xiang.

Li Chongmao, who had nothing to pursue, was divided into his Xiang King, without any quarrel, but was implicated and demoted to Liang Prefecture because of the rebellion of his brother Li Chongfu, and then died here at the age of 20, although he had a harem but no heirs.

Li Chongmao is Li Chongrun's person

Li Chongmao and Li Chongrun were both sons of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang and grandsons of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and who is said to be Li Chongrun? On blood relations, Li Chongmao is Li Chongrun's half-brother, on the generational relationship, Li Chongmao was once the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chongrun's biggest identity is the crown prince, so Li Chongmao and Li Chongrun are for the relationship between the monarch and the subject.

Why was the short-lived emperor Li Chongmao of tang not recognized as an emperor?

Li Chongmao was born in 695 AD, Li Chongrun was born in 682, the difference between the two is thirteen years old, and it is said that Li Chongrun was very popular with Tang Gaozong when he was born, and he pardoned the world at the time of his full moon, and at that time, Li Chongrun's father Li Xian was still crown prince, so Tang Gaozong made him the emperor's grandson, which shows the degree of favor.

The most similar point between Li Chongmao and Li Chongrun is that both of them died short-lived, and they died at a young age, Li Chongmao was ousted from the throne and became the King of Xiang, and was implicated in his brother's rebellion and expelled from Kyoto, moved to the local area, and died there, only 20 years old; Li Chongrun was only 19 years old when he died, when their father Li Xian was made crown prince by Wu Zetian, and he was the King of Shao, Li Chongrun was a filial and virtuous person, but he was framed by a traitor and was forced to die by Wu Zetian, and it is also said that he was beaten to death by Wu Zetian's order.

The above is the introduction of Li Chongmao is Li Chongrun's hot introduction, Li Chongmao is less favored by everyone than Li Chongrun, after all, Li Chongmao is Li Xian's younger son, still young, and Li Chongrun is the eldest son, very literate, well-known for filial piety, and everyone mourns his death.

How old was Li Chongmao when he died

Li Chongmao was also known as Emperor Shao of Tang, when he was only 16 years old, he was proclaimed emperor by Wei Hou, who was a puppet emperor, and reigned for a very short time, less than a month, so in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there are also people who do not recognize Li Chongmao as an emperor, not only that, but also a short-lived person, let's understand how old Li Chongmao was when he died.

In 695, Li Chongmao was born as the youngest son of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and his mother was a woman of humble status in the harem, which is not recorded in detail, and Li Chongmao was not well educated, and from the perspective of Li Chongmao's ignorance of politics and current affairs, Li Chongmao's birth mother must not be very good at and attached importance to this aspect.

In 700, Li Chongmao was made the King of Beihai, and soon afterwards promoted to King Wen. In 710, Li Chongmao's father Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was poisoned to death by Empress Wei, and Li Chongmao's youth and ignorance became the perfect candidate for Emperor Weihou,Li Chongmao became a puppet emperor, and Empress Wei held real power in the imperial government.

In the same month that Li Chongmao ascended the throne, a coup d'état occurred in the imperial court, and Li Chongmao was ousted from power and re-established as The King of Wen, and after Li Dan ascended the throne, he was also named the Prince of Xiang. Li Chongmao originally thought that he could live a long and stable life as the King of Xiang, but did not want to be implicated in his brother's rebellion in 714 AD, and was demoted to a local area, and died within a year at the age of 20.

The above is the introduction of how many years old Li Chongmao was when he died, Li Chongmao's life was very short, not only did he become an emperor for one month, but his life expectancy was only 20 years, which was very tragic.
