The emergence of a generation of empresses Wu Zetian made the status of women in the Tang Dynasty have been improved as never before, and many women began to pursue careers. Especially in the royal family, whether it is the prince or the princess, even the concubines have shown great ambition for the throne. The most famous of these was Princess Taiping, but she failed in the end. After her death, Li Longji executed all 7 of her children, leaving only her son Xue Chongjian. It exposes the secrets of Tang Xuanzong.
Princess Taiping can be said to be the most favored daughter of Wu Zetian, and she is also the daughter who is most similar to Wu Zetian. When she was 8 years old, she went out of the palace to pray for her grandmother's blessing, so she had the name of "Taiping". Later, when she reached adulthood, many foreign clans around her asked to marry the princess, but Wu Zetian was reluctant and refused each time on the grounds that her daughter had become a monk.
Later, Wu Zetian finally chose a good family affair for his daughter and gave her to Xue Shao. After getting married, the princess's life was very happy, and she and her husband gave birth to two sons and two daughters, one of whom was Xue Chongjian. However, soon after, her husband was executed for the incident in the court, and Princess Taiping was very sad, and since then her personality has changed greatly.
The princess married the cowardly Wu Youji for the second time, she looked down on her husband very much, although the two also gave birth to two men and two women, but Princess Taiping's heart was not at all on her husband, but raised a lot of beautiful men in the house, and she was very "generous" to share with her mother. Wu Zetian also trusted his daughter more and more, giving her the opportunity to participate in the government, but always let her stay behind the scenes.
Princess Taiping was very ambitious and was not willing to be put in the background, so she joined forces with Li Dan and Li Xian to launch a coup d'état to force her mother to abdicate. After Li Xian ascended the throne, she finally walked to the top of the court. After Li Xian's death, she also elected Li Dan to the throne, so her status became more prominent. At this time, she found that the then crown prince Li Longji was a tricky figure who would hinder her further seizure of power, and she regarded it as a thorn in her side.
Later, Li Longji ascended the throne as emperor, known as Tang Xuanzong, which made her no longer able to hold on to Nai, so she planned to kill the emperor. However, this matter fell through, and Li Longji preemptively took action, first killing her and then killing all her children, but leaving xue Chongjian alone. The emperor not only gave Xue Chongjian the title of official, but also gave him the surname "Li", which exposed a secret of Li Longji.
Xue Chongjian was a very famous beautiful man, not only outstanding in appearance, but very elegant, and had a very good relationship with Tang Xuanzong since he was a child. Gradually, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, and beyond the feelings between ordinary people, this matter was accidentally bumped into by the princess. When Princess Taiping wanted to kill Li Longji, Xue Chongjian tried her best to stop her mother, so she was punished. Therefore, when Li Longji got rid of the princess, he only treated the princess's son kindly, and he did not expect that there was such a secret hidden behind his back, which was really surprising.
