Recalling the heyday of the kaiyuan in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families. Rice is lipid corn white.
The Tang Dynasty had two great prosperity, the reign of Zhenguan under the care of Li Shimin and the Kaiyuan flourishing of Li Longji, because Li Longji's later favor of Yang Guifei and the reuse of An Lushan led to the anshi rebellion, so that people believed that the rule of Zhenguan was the "prosperous world" of the Tang Dynasty.
During the kaiyuan dynasty, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty had reached its peak, and the national population during the Tang Zhenguan period was about 3.6 million households; while the Tang Xuanzong Tianbao years had exceeded 13.4 million households, and the actual population had exceeded 80 million.
After entering the heyday, the Tang Dynasty again had the Anshi Rebellion, which also led to a decline in Li Longji's overall reputation.
Li Longji was the third son of Li Dan of Tang Ruizong, and when he was born, Li Dan ascended the throne, but at this time the power was in the hands of Wu Zetian, and Li Dan could not even listen to the government of the dynasty, and in the second year of the first year (690), Li Dan was deposed, and Wu Zetian declared that he would obey the will of heaven and ascend the throne as emperor.
Although Wu Zetian was in charge of the government and the opposition, Xu Jingye's rise to the army also made the people of the DPRK and the Chinese ministers panic, and the pattern of the DPRK and China was changeable, and led by the Li Tang royal family and the foreign relative Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian was weak and weak, and he was unable to balance the open struggle between the two major groups, coupled with the favor of the male favorite, the Li Tang royal family and the Princess Taiping were dissatisfied.
Eventually, the Shenlong coup d'état was triggered, and Wu Zetian's favorite Zhang Yizhi was killed, and she also gave the throne to the crown prince Li Xian, but Li Xian was relatively weak in character, and Wei Hou and Princess Anle followed Wu Zetian's imperial title.
Although Li Longji was only 18 years old, he was wise and decisive, and he had been waiting to see what had happened, and in the seven years of being quiet, he was self-cultivating and careful in his dealings with the world, and he saw that Wei Hou poisoned the crown prince Li Chongjun and wanted to ascend the throne as emperor, And Li Longji knew that the opportunity had come.
Princess Taiping and Empress Wei had always been at odds with each other, so she joined forces with Li Longji to launch a coup d'état and kill the Weihou clique, and Li Dan once again ascended the throne as emperor.
Although he ascended the throne twice, Li Dan did have Wu Zetian before he was born at the wrong time, and then there was Li Longji.
Princess Taiping, like Wu Zetian, wanted to hold power, and because of her meritorious coup d'état, Li Dan often listened to her opinions and even wanted to depose Li Longji, which made Li Longji and Princess Taiping gradually turn against each other.
Li Longji was able to launch a coup d'état at a young age, and the meritorious men who were rewarded for killing the Wei Party naturally took Li Longji's lead, and the two were equally powerful at first.
However, Princess Taiping also felt that if she did not restrain Li Longji, she would be in danger, and Princess Taiping would be so worried, also because of some gossip in the palace.
When Li Longji and Princess Tianping killed The Weihou clique, they implicated Shangguan Wan'er, according to Shangguan Wan'er's epitaph, she was not a person of Wei Hou, after her death, Princess Taiping built a mausoleum for her, but in Li Longji's view, Princess Taiping was also a party of Wei Hou, even if not, repairing the mausoleum is also a big taboo.
Princess Taiping was worried, so she invited the prime minister Song Jing to the palace, Song Jing was a Tang Dynasty elder and had a lot of right to speak in the dynasty, Princess Taiping told Song Jing that she wanted to be easier to prince, song Jing although not belonging to Li Longji's party, but also not Princess Taiping's person, he sternly refused.
Not only that, "the new official took office with three fires", he also participated in a copy of Princess Taiping, and asked her to be moved out of Chang'an and moved to Luoyang, Song Jing did this, undoubtedly offended Princess Taiping, and soon after becoming prime minister, he was demoted to the history of Chuzhou, but Song Jing's foot in the door allowed Li Longji to sit firmly in the position of prince.
Coupled with Wei Anshi helping Li Longji speak in front of Li Dan, this made Princess Taiping completely lose her position. Princess Taiping also knew that it was difficult to fight Li Longji, and planned to break the cauldron, so she let a Xiangshi enter the speech and let Li Dan zen the throne, but she did not expect Li Dan to pass it to Li Longji.
As soon as Li Longji ascended the throne, he immediately set out to eliminate Princess Taiping, but she had not yet reacted, and her own henchmen were all uprooted.
The reason why Princess Taiping was defeated like a mountain, there was another important person here, Princess Taiping's second son Xue Chongjian.
Princess Taiping's whole family was killed, but xue Chongjian escaped the disaster, not only that, but also gave the name Li surname, why did he get such preferential treatment?
Among the many theories, Xue Chongjian's "Tang Dynasty Former Yuan Zhou Don't Drive Xue Fujun's Epitaph and Preface" is really unbelievable, saying that Li Longji and Xue Chongjian have a "habit of breaking sleeves", and after Princess Taiping knew about it, she often whipped him, which made Xue Chongjian very angry, so she secretly became Li Longji's informant and gave him a ventilated message.
There is also a saying that Li Longji and Xue Chongjian grew up together and had a very good friendship, and Xue Chongjian was discouraged by Princess Taiping and simply switched to Li Longji's command.
Regardless of the statement, Xue Chongjian was spared death, after giving the name Li surname, judging from the excavated epitaph, Xue Chongjian was not raised by Li Longji, and after giving the name, he was sent out of the palace, it seems that Li Longji was also worried about the remnants of princess Taiping supporting Xue Chongjian.
Xue Chongjian was "degraded" out of the palace, depressed, coupled with the death of his wife Wu Shi, he was even more depressed, kaiyuan twelfth year (724) died of illness, buried in Huangshan.
Princess Taiping was Li Longji's aunt, but she was born in the imperial family, and family affection was not worth mentioning in front of the right, and when Li Longji killed Princess Tianping, Li Dan also interceded, but it was still "full of doors and cuts".
