What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
The Tang Dynasty gave birth to many women who could compete with men and occupy the political center, and Princess Taiping was one of them. She was born noble, it is said that Wu Zetian because she had died a daughter before, and when she got Taiping, she gave her all the guilt and love she had once had, plus her personality was very pleasing, so at that time in the whole Tang Dynasty, no woman could live as arrogantly and freely as Taiping. As she grew older, she also gradually entered the political whirlpool of the Tang Dynasty, but after she helped her nephew Li Longji ascend to the throne, she was given death.
Princess Taiping is talented and intelligent, and people are pampered, in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the stage of her mother's power, she has participated in a lot of political affairs, Wu Zetian also trusts her very much, many political affairs will also consult with her, slowly she tasted the taste of power, began to like to get power, but when her mother was still alive, she had some restraint, and she was still low-key. However, in his later years, when Emperor Wu was seriously ill, her favored Zhang brothers gradually controlled the government, and coupled with the lover who framed Princess Taiping and the Princess Taiping, causing Taiping to be very dissatisfied with the Zhang brothers, she contacted the chancellor Zhang Kamzhi and launched a coup d'état on the pretext of restoring the Li family's Tang Dynasty, killing the Zhang brothers and forcing Wu Zetian to give way to Li Xian, that is, Tang Zhongzong.
After Li Xian ascended the throne, he was grateful for the help of Princess Taiping and trusted her, plus Taiping had already possessed very good political ability after years of experience, so his prestige in the DPRK gradually increased. Her momentum made Li Xian's empress Wei Shi and daughter An Le very dissatisfied, because the two of them wanted to resemble Wu Zetian and also became empresses, and later even poisoned Li Xian and established Li Chongmao instead. Princess Taiping was actually unaccustomed to the mother and daughter, so she joined forces with Li Longji to launch a coup d'état to regain power, killEduhou Wei and Princess Anle, and forced Li Chongmaochan to give way to Li Dan. This counter-rebellion made the status of Princess Taiping even more elevated, becoming the second most powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty after the emperor, and at this time she also reached the point of power.
However, she soon found that although her emperor brother tolerated and obeyed him, li longji, the nephew who had worked with her, was not an obedient person, and if this nephew came to power in the future, her power would inevitably be weakened, so she bought the official in charge of the celestial phenomenon in the palace, saying that the celestial sign showed that there would be a new thing to happen, in order to imply that the emperor had someone to replace him, hoping to alienate Li Dan and Li Longji. But what she did not expect was that Li Dan did not get angry after hearing this, or even have any doubts, but instead decided to obey the Providence Zen position. Princess Taiping saw that the plan had not succeeded, so she could only act first just in case. Unfortunately, she wanted to launch a coup d'état, the plan to depose the prince was whistleblown to Li Longji, and before he could do anything about Taiping, he first killed his aunt's henchmen, and then a white aya gave her to commit suicide, if it were not for her too much lust for power, it would not have such an end, after the death of Princess Taiping, Tang Xuanzong's regime was declared stable, opening the Kaiyuan prosperous era, and also ending the phenomenon of many mutinies in the capital since the change of Xuanwumen in 626.
