The phrase "since ancient times, the family of the emperor" can be said to be very suitable in the Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping's mother is Wu Zetian, her father is Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, Princess Taiping has been extremely spoiled since childhood, when she was a child, she went to the temple to pray for her grandmother, and then became a monk for several years. When the emissaries of Tubo came to ask for affection, Tang Gaozong refused to do so, which shows how spoiled Tang Gaozong was of Princess Taiping. However, as Princess Taiping grew older, she wanted to marry more and more, and then Princess Taiping was promised by Emperor Gaozong of Tang to give Xue Shao, which was also a door-to-door affair, but unfortunately, Xue Shao's brother was implicated in Xue Shao's rebellion, and finally Xue Shao was starved to death in prison.
After the girlhood, what Princess Taiping wanted was not the romance of a young girl. Subsequently, at the behest of Wu Zetian, she married Wu Youji of the Wu clan, and Princess Taiping began to slowly move in another direction of life.
In the legendary life of Princess Taiping, she experienced three coups, and her life also went to a different end in these three coups. In the first "Shenlong Coup", when empress Wu Zetian was extremely fond of Zhang Yizhi's brothers, and Zhang Yizhi's brothers, as Wu Zetian's male favorites, also had a lot of power, so they acted in the government and the public, and even conspired together to kill their ministers. Therefore, Princess Taiping and the chancellor Zhang Kamzhi and others launched a coup d'état in the first year of Shenlong, eliminating Zhang Yizhi's brothers and forcing Wu Zetian to restore Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang. Princess Taiping was given the title of "Princess Taiping of Zhenguo", and at this time, Princess Taiping already held heavy power and her ambitions were getting bigger and bigger.
The second was the "Tang Long Coup", when Empress Wei and her daughter wanted to emulate Wu Zetian's power throughout the government and the opposition, so they poisoned Emperor Zhongzong of Tang and made Li Chongmao the Prince of Wen emperor, but Li Chongmao was still young and was obviously a puppet. Moreover, Webster and her daughter also wanted to get rid of the powerful Princess Taiping. At this time, Princess Taiping and her brother and nephew preemptively launched a coup d'état to get rid of Wei Shi and his daughter together, and put Tang Ruizong Li Dan on the throne, and from then on, Princess Taiping's power reached its peak, and even the ministers had to go through her consent, and the emperor also listened to her words, holding the power to kill, and the powerful ministers and prime ministers at that time were also supported by her, and their minions were all over the imperial court.
The third time was the "congenital coup", after enjoying the power to want to put down is more difficult, Princess Taiping is the same, she also wants more power, when Li Longji was made the prince, Princess Taiping felt that he was very capable, it is not easy to control in the future, want to change a more weak and incompetent prince, so Princess Taiping bought the imperial kitchen to poison Li Longji, and finally was discovered by Li Longji, failed to succeed. Li Longji resolutely resisted, launching a coup d'état to put Princess Taiping's wings to death, and finally giving Princess Taiping to death at home.
Princess Taiping has faced many dynastic changes in her life, is a person who can collapse on mount Tai without changing her face, an ambitious but quite decisive woman in her heart, and is blinded by the pity of power. What's more, she was full of minions in the imperial court, and if she did not preemptively attack, it was very likely that she would be opposed by the first army, so Tang Xuanzong Li Longji relied on his wisdom and decisiveness to sweep away this hidden danger and sit firmly on the throne.
