At that time, Princess Taiping blocked Li Longji's way and had already threatened his position.
Princess Taiping was the daughter of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian, and because Wu Zetian considered her "self-like", she gave her a certain amount of power, and later when Zhang Kamzhi and others launched the "Shenlong Coup", they sided with the Li Tang royal family, so she was able to save herself and go further.
During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, Empress Wei was monopolistic, and Princess Taiping could be said to be the only one who could have a certain strength to fight against Empress Wei.
Therefore, when Li Longji, after Wei Hou poisoned Li Xian, planned to launch a "Tang Long coup" to seize power, he first thought of cooperating with Princess Taiping.
After weighing the pros and cons, Princess Taiping also believed that Wei Hou did not have wu Zetian's ability, let alone last long, so she once again chose to side with the Li Tang royal family and cooperated with Li Longji to launch a coup d'état.
However, what Li Longji did not expect was that although he joined forces with Princess Taiping to launch a coup d'état and allow his father Li Dan to regain the throne, Li Dan trusted Princess Taiping far more than he trusted him after becoming emperor, which meant that Li Dan gave Princess Taiping more power.
Princess Taiping was considered "self-like" by Wu Zetian, and there was nothing wrong with that, she also had the same desire for power as Wu Zetian, so with Li Dan's favor, she naturally constantly suppressed dissidents and installed her own cronies in the court.
How powerful is Princess Taiping in the DPRK?
At that time, five of the seven prime ministers of the imperial court were her people, obeying her orders, and she also installed people in the army, and many people tried to seduce her, which showed how powerful she really was.
When Li Longji saw Princess Taiping, he also had to obediently bow his head, and he did not dare to breathe heavily when he spoke to her, let alone dare to oppose her, for fear of attracting her jealousy.
The Tang Dynasty during the Li Dan period can almost be said to be under the control of Princess Taiping, no one dared to disobey her intentions, if there was no Li Longji, let her continue to develop, it may also become the "second Wu Zetian".
Although Li Longji was cautious, he was still regarded as a thorn in her side, because the side he showed made her see that he was not simple, and if Li Longji became emperor in the future, Princess Taiping would not say that she would continue to take power, and I am afraid that the end would be very miserable.
Therefore, Princess Taiping thought of getting rid of Li Longji, not giving him the opportunity to succeed to the throne as emperor, and then supporting someone she could control as Li Dan's successor.
Li Longji was also jealous of Princess Taiping's aunt, and Song Jing and Yao Chong, who had suggested that Li Dan move Princess Taiping out of Chang'an and let her stay in Luoyang, without threatening or hindering Li Longji, only to send Princess Taiping to Puzhou.
Princess Taiping was "driven" out of Chang'an, and of course she counted this account on Li Longji's head, so she kept trying to find a way to teach Li Longji a lesson, frightening Li Longji to quickly break off relations with Song and Yao, and scolded Song and Yao a lot, and after a few months, she quickly asked Li Dan to let Princess Taiping return to Beijing, trying to cut off her hostility towards herself.
But did Princess Taiping forgive him? Apparently not, not only did not forgive him, but also strengthened the determination to get rid of him.
In the second year of the first day, Princess Taiping gathered a group of her own men to plan how to depose Li Longji, and she not only deposed him, but also let Chang Yuankai and Li Ci lead the Yulin army they controlled to invade Li Longji's Wude Hall, directly killing Li Longji and making him disappear completely.
If Princess Taiping's plan succeeds, the course of Tang Dynasty history will surely change again.
It's just a pity that Princess Taiping's enemy this time- Li Longji is not a simple person, let alone a person who is willing to be slaughtered, she wants to kill him? He's not going to be tied up, he's not only not going to be tied up, he's going to fight back!
Princess Taiping was already planning to kill Li Longji, and if Li Longji did not counterattack, wouldn't he become a fish on someone else's chopping board?
Li Long was jealous of Princess Taiping, so he had been secretly letting people pay attention to her movements, and also planted eyeliner around her, so after Princess Taiping made a plan to murder Li Longji, Li Longji quickly received the news.
Therefore, he decided to strike first, and directly attacked Princess Taiping before she could react and did not make enough defenses against him.
Li Longji had been the crown prince for such a long time, and had been emperor for nearly two years, and of course he would have his own influence and confidants, so he also gathered his own confidants to discuss strategies against Princess Taiping.
In the end, Li Longji directly had people rush to the Qianhua Gate to slaughter Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, and then killed Cen Xi and Xiao Zhizhong, shocking everyone for a while.
After Princess Taiping heard that Li Longji had either killed or controlled her own people, she was also frightened, and without saying a word, she directly fled into Nanshan and hid, and did not dare to go out of the mountain for three days, and then was killed by Li Longji at home.
Li Longji launched a "congenital coup" to not only eliminate the threat of Princess Taiping, but also squeezed Li Dan, the Emperor Taishang, down and took the imperial power into his own hands.
Since then, he has worked hard to create the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era".
Unfortunately, he also forgot the previous lesson, since Emperor Gaozong to Emperor Xuanzong launched the "Congenital Coup", Li Tangjiangshan can be said to have been confused by women, and he finally lost the country because he loved Yang Guifei.
