Some time ago, some netizens asked me: "If you cross back to Sheng Tang, what profession do you want to engage in?" ”
I replied, "When a man crosses back to the Tang Dynasty, the most unaffordable profession is prince." Women crossed back to the Tang Dynasty, and the most unaffordable profession was empress. The abnormal mortality rate of the prince and the empress was too high, and if you traveled to the Tang Dynasty, if you did not want to find death, do not do these two professions. ”
There is a bridge section in the TV series "The Rule of Zhenguan", where Li Shimin takes the newly crowned crown prince Li Chengqian to see Li Yuan, the Emperor of Taishang. There is something in Li Yuan's words: "When Chengqian becomes the prince, there will be three princes in our family." ”
Li Jiancheng was the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, he met Li Shimin, the fierce king of Qin. Li Jiancheng's benevolence did not adopt Wei Zheng's plan, and he attacked first and killed Li Shimin. After Li Jiancheng, he suffered and was killed by Li Shimin at Xuanwu Gate. After Li Jiancheng's death, he was also deposed as the crown prince and became the King of Xi.

After Li Jiancheng's death, Li Yuan had to make Li Shimin crown prince. Li Shimin became crown prince, and after only 2 months and 2 days, he ascended the throne and became emperor. In accordance with the principle of "establishing a concubine to be the eldest", Li Shimin crowned Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the concubine, as the crown prince. The Founding Of the Tang Dynasty was only a dozen years old, and before the founding emperor died, there were three princes, which was certainly not a good sign.
Li Chengqian's position as crown prince is also like sitting on a needle felt. Li Tai, the second son of Li Shimin, saw that his father could rob the eldest son Li Jiancheng of the position of crown prince, and he also drew a gourd and wanted to rob Li Chengqian of the position of prince. Li Chengqian and Li Taidou were both defeated, one was deposed and demoted to a shuren, and the other was demoted to the rank of county king, and the result was that Li Zhi won the benefit of the fisherman.
After Li Zhi became emperor, he first made his eldest son Li Zhong crown prince. Li Zhong was originally the eldest son of Li Zhi, and after being adopted by Empress Wang, he became the eldest son of Concubine. After Empress Wang was deposed, Li Zhong could only be deposed. After Li Zhong was deposed, he was given death by his father.
Li Hong was the eldest son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and although he was not deposed, he was disgusted by his birth mother Empress Wu, and Li Hong was under great pressure and died without knowing it. After Li Hong's death, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Xiaojing.

Emperor Gaozong's eldest son died, and his second son, Li Xian, succeeded him as the new crown prince. Li Xian wanted to fight for power with his mother, but lost. Li Xian was not only deposed as crown prince, but also killed by his mother-in-law Wu Zetian.
Li Chongjun was the son of Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and since Li Xian's eldest son Li Chongrun died, Li Xian could only make Li Chongjun crown prince. Li Chongjun was forced by his mother-in-law Empress Wei and his sister Princess Anle to stage a mutiny. Li Chongjun was unable to attack Xuanwu Gate and was killed by his subordinates. After Li Chongjun died, he was not only deposed as the crown prince, but also beheaded and shown to the public.
After Li Longji ascended the throne and became emperor, his wife Empress Wang never gave birth to her eldest son. Empress Wang had no choice but to adopt her son Li Ying as the eldest son. After Li Ying became empress wang's son, he naturally became the crown prince. After Empress Wang was deposed, Li Ying's position was in jeopardy.
In order to put her own son Li Mao the Prince of Shou on the throne, Concubine Wu Huifei designed to frame Li Ying for rebellion. Poor Li Ying, listening to Concubine Wu's words, thought that there was a rebellion in the palace, so he took his two younger brothers to Qin Wang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang mistakenly thought that Li Ying was going to rebel, so he ordered the deposing of the crown prince Li Ying. After Li Ying was deposed, he was given death by his father.

From the early Tang Dynasty to the Sheng Tang Dynasty, the princes who were killed by li shimin's family and the princes who died were Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian, Li Zhong, Li Hong, Li Xian, Li Chongjun, and Li Ying. Among them, Li Jiancheng, Li Zhong, Li Xian, Li Chongjun, and Li Ying were killed.
Li Shimin's change of Xuanwu Gate opened a bad head, and the future Tang princes knew that the throne could be seized by mutiny. The princes of the Tang Dynasty, the former servants and the successors, launched a mutiny, making the Prince of the Tang Dynasty a high-risk profession.
From the early Tang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty Emperors, none of them were the eldest sons of concubines. In such an environment, the princes of the Tang Dynasty can be described as trembling, like walking on thin ice.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty was not happy, there was a dynasty, the time of the country was similar to the Tang Dynasty, but there was not a single incident of the father deposing the prince. This dynasty is the Ming Dynasty.
There were only two deposed princes of the Ming Dynasty, one was Zhu Jianji and the other was Zhu Jianshen. After the tumu fort, Ming Yingzong was captured by the enemy. Emperor Ming ascended the throne temporarily and repelled the enemy state.
Emperor Ming deposed Emperor Ming's crown prince Zhu Jianshen and installed his son Zhu Jianji as crown prince. After Zhu Jianji became crown prince, he died not long after.
After the change of the gate, Emperor Mingying was restored, and Emperor Ming died. Emperor Mingying restored Zhu Mishen to the position of crown prince and deposed his dead nephew Zhu Mishen and demoted him to the position of prince. Zhu Jianshen later ascended the throne as emperor, and the history was called Ming Xianzong.
None of the princes of the Ming Dynasty were deposed by their fathers, nor were they killed. The risk of the prince of the Tang Dynasty was too high, but the Ming Dynasty was the golden age of the prince.
