In ancient times, being able to become the emperor of the Nine-Five Emperor was the dream of many people, and the reason was nothing more than that the emperor could be rich in the world, and the power and money were in hand, of course, with great temptation. However, the emperor is also a high-risk profession, and if you are not careful, you will be calculated by the villain and step into the abyss of disaster. In the Tang Dynasty, there was an emperor, who was originally just a happy and happy prince, but he was pushed to the throne by a singer and prostitute by mistake, and then he tried his best to rule, but the Tang Dynasty once had a situation of ZTE, he was Tang Wuzong Li Yan.
Emperor Wuzong of Tang was the fifth son of Emperor Muzong of Tang and the younger brother of Emperor Wenzong of Tang. Tang Wenzong was a more industrious emperor in the late Tang Dynasty, when he tried hard to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, but in the face of the constraints of eunuchs such as Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi, Tang Wenzong could not show his fists. In the Ganlu Rebellion, Tang Wenzong wanted to regain power but had no choice but failed, after which Qiu Shiliang and others completely controlled the government, and even interfered in the abolition of the crown prince. After a political struggle, Li Chengmei, the Prince of Chen, who was supported by the prime minister, was made crown prince.
However, after all, the power of the dprk and China was in the hands of the eunuchs Qiu Shiliang, Yu Hongzhi and others, and if Li Chengmei, the King of Chen, were emperor, he would definitely eliminate them, so Qiu Shiliang and the two of them actually disregarded the holy will and demanded the establishment of another crown prince. Of course, the chancellor Li Yu did not agree, but he had no military power in his hands, and in the end Qiu Shiliang and others forged the holy will and decided to welcome Li Rong, the king of An, as the emperor's brother. At that time, Li Rong, the King of An, and Li Yan, the King of Ying, both lived in the Wangye District, the Sixteen King's Residence. There was a beautiful and intelligent woman in the house of Li Yan, the King of Ying, who played a key role in this political struggle.
This beautiful woman Wang Shi was originally a prostitute in Handan, when the Ying King Li Yan played in Handan and other places, and fell in love with the Wang clan at first sight, Li Yan was impressed by the beauty and talent of the Wang clan, and when he redeemed the Wang clan, he became his wife in the palace. When Qiu Shiliang, Yu Hongzhi, and others sent the Divine Strategist Army to greet Li Rong, the King of An, these soldiers did not even understand which prince to greet, but only knew that they had to greet the eldest, because Li Rong, the King of An, was older than Li Yan, the King of Ying. However, King Ying's beloved wife, Wang Shi, stood up, claiming that King Ying was tall and handsome, and that he was the "big" prince that the Divine Strategy Army was going to meet. When Li Yan appeared in front of everyone, what Wang Said was indeed true, so the Divine Strategy Army escorted Li Yan, the King of Ying, to the Shaoyang Courtyard. Later, the eunuchs found that they had made a mistake for the prince, and they had no choice but to mistake Li Yan for becoming the emperor's brother. Soon after, Emperor Wenzong of Tang died, and Li Yan, the King of Ying, ascended the throne smoothly, that is, Emperor Wuzong of Tang.
After Emperor Wuzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, Li Yan destroyed the feudal towns internally and won a victory in the war between the Uighurs externally, in addition to which he also ordered the closure of Buddhist temples throughout the country and the recovery of Buddhist temple land, which greatly increased taxes and strengthened the centralization of power. And the singer-prostitute Wang Shi, who helped Li Yan ascend to the throne, was also quite favored after Li Yan became emperor, and Tang Wuzong finally did not fail this beautiful and intelligent woman.
