In ancient times, as an emperor, it was an infinite scenery, but as a prince of the crown prince, it was even more mouth-watering. Li Heng, the second crown prince of the Tang Xuanzong Li Longji period, made a special humiliation. Because he met a sinister and cunning prime minister, this prime minister is Li Linfu as we said earlier.
Li Linfu's political ally was Wu Huifei, so Li Linfu always wanted Wu Huifei's son Li Mao the Prince of Shou to inherit the position of crown prince in order to win great political benefits in the future, and in the end Li Linfu failed to let Li Mao sit on the position of crown prince as he wished. Therefore, he tried every means to pull the current prince into the water, how did Li Linfu use all his strength to build the prince? Let's understand the situation of Prince Li Heng at that time through three short stories.
Story One
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang selected Li Heng as crown prince, Li Linfu was worried that he had no merit in the establishment of the crown prince, and thought that in the future, the crown prince would be very passive in inheriting the throne, so he tried every means to shake the position of the Eastern Palace.
Li Linfu first targeted Li Heng's brother-in-law Wei Jian, and Li Linfu first co-opted this Wei Jian and recommended him to a very important official position. Let Wei Jian let down his guard, and then he asked another official in the court at the time, Yang Shiyun, to spy on Wei Jian, and the driver found out Wei Jian's faults in order to achieve the purpose of framing the crown prince.
Picking bones in eggs was certainly able to pick out, at the time. Jiedu sent Emperor Weiming into the court to meet Emperor Xuanzong, because he was not accustomed to Li Linfu's monopoly, and suggested that Emperor Xuanzong depose Li Linfu, and from then on, Li Linfu also hated Huangpu Weiming to the bone.
One day, crown prince Li Heng went out to play in the palace, and just happened to meet Wei Jian, and the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and Wei Jian secretly met with Emperor Weiming on the same day. This was a great sin at the time. The crown prince colluded with the ministers, and the ministers had secret envoys. Li Linfu's minions immediately reported to him, the machine was no longer lost, and the framing procedure was immediately launched. Li Linfu instigated Yang Shiyun. It was revealed that Wei Jian, as a close general who was a close friend of his internal relations, plotted against him and wanted to make the crown prince emperor. Emperor Xuanzong was furious and directly demoted Wei Jian, Emperor Fu Weiming, and others from the imperial court, and ordered Li Heng to divorce the crown princess Wei Shi. As a prince, I can't protect my own princess, and I am really whining.
Story two
Not long after, Li Linfu once again launched a frame against the prince. Li Linfu was still a woman from the prince's side, and launched an attack on the prince, and this woman was Du Liangdi, the prince. Du Liangdi's father and his other son-in-law had a conflict, and his son-in-law framed the old man for colluding with the prince to rebel. Li Linfu ordered Wang Hao to try the case together with Yang Guozhong, and this kind of fictitious matter was eventually decided. Both Weng and his son-in-law were killed with rods, and Du Liangdi was deposed as a Shuren. In addition, many local officials were also implicated in this incident, and Li Linfu also cut out the prince's wings in this incident, and many people who supported the prince were stabbed to death or exiled.
Story three
Wang Zhongsi was raised in the palace since childhood, and his feelings with the crown prince Li Heng were very deep. Later, Wang Zhongsi was released as an envoy to Jiedushi, and for many years the town guarded the frontier with great martial arts, and Li Linfu was worried that Wang Zhongsi would return to worship the chancellor, threatening his position as prime minister, and trying to pull Wang Zhongsi down. During a military campaign, Wang Zhongsi was framed by other generals for misleading the military situation, and Li Linfu obstructed him, causing Li Tang Xuanzong to depose Wang Zhongsi from his post as a jiedushi envoy and demote him to other places.
summary
Although Li Linfu repeatedly went into disarray between Xuanzong's father and son, Li Heng was cautious in doing things, coupled with the secret protection of Gao Lishi and others, so Li Linfu never collapsed the prince.
