Although Vietnam began to break away from China during the Northern Song Dynasty, But Vietnam is very deeply influenced by China, looking at the development of dynasties in many Asian countries, Vietnamese dynasties and Chinese dynasties are the most similar to the development laws, whether good or bad, Vietnamese dynasties have imitated or copied the past, Vietnamese history seems to be a condensed version of Chinese history.
Regarding the usurpation of the throne, there have been too many Chinese dynasties. In the same way, there have been many usurpations of the throne in the Vietnamese dynasty. Before the editor had an article, introduced that shortly after the death of The founding emperor of the first dynasty in Vietnam, Ding Dynasty, The founding hero Le Huan plotted to usurp the throne to establish the former Lê Dynasty, and became the founding emperor himself, resulting in the demise of the Ding Dynasty in just 12 years.
However, the usurpation of the throne by the Li Huan Dynasty was punished, and shortly after his death, the former Li Dynasty was also usurped by the Former Li Dynasty, resulting in the demise of the state in just 29 years. The person who usurped the throne of Li Huan was actually Li Huan's most trusted person, and it was his daughter's husband, the founding horse of the former Li Dynasty, named Li Gongyun.

In 980, Li Huanmou usurped the throne and ascended the emperor's throne, the Ding Dynasty collapsed, and the former Li Dynasty was established. Li Huan made Empress Yang Yun'e, the empress of the Ding Dynasty, his empress, his empress, and the two had a daughter, Princess Foyin, and later Li Huan married Princess Foyin to Li Gongyun, who was then serving as a military officer in the former Li Dynasty.
The reason why Li Huan married Princess Foyin to Li Gongyun was because Li Gongyun's ancestors were once under Li Huan's heart. When Li Huan plotted to usurp the throne, Li Gongyun's ancestors fully supported and supported it, so Li Huan took good care of Li Gongyun, a descendant of the former heart.
Li Gongyun inadvertently became the horse of the founding emperor of the former Li Dynasty, and then rose all the way to the commander of the palace, equivalent to the officer of the Janissaries protecting the palace.
In 1005, Li Huan, who had reigned for 25 years, died of illness and was known as "Former Li Taizu" in history, and was succeeded to the throne by crown prince Li Longyu, known in history as "Former Li Zhongzong". Originally, this was a very smooth succession of thrones, but former Li Zhongzong was very tragic, he reigned for only 3 days, he was killed by his half-brother Li Longquan launched a palace coup, Li Longquan inherited the throne, known in history as "Former Li Zhuangzong", was the last emperor of the former Li Dynasty.

Former Li Zhuangzong was a very absurd and faint emperor, who not only immersed himself in wine all day, but even had to be accompanied by beautiful women during the dynasty. Former Li Zhuangzong specially ordered someone to build a dragon bed, and he usually lay on the dragon bed, enjoying the beautiful service while facing the side. The behavior of former Li Zhuangzong is the same as that of Gao Wei, the lord of northern Qi who created the "jade body horizontal Chen" in Chinese history.
The absurdity and faintness of the former Li Zhuangzong gave Li Gongyun the idea of replacing him. In terms of relations, Li Gongyun was not only a minister of former Li Zhuangzong, but also the brother-in-law of former Li Zhuangzong, a pony of the founding emperor Li Taizu Li Huan, and most importantly, he was deeply trusted by former Li Taizu and former Li Zhuangzong, providing him with an excellent opportunity to usurp the throne.
As early as when Li Gongyun was young, a Xiangshi said to Li Gongyun that he was extraordinary, had the appearance of an emperor, and would be a generation of Ming Emperors in the future. At that time, Li Gongyun was half-convinced of Xiang shi's words, but now with Li Gongyun's position of power, he was convinced and strengthened the idea of usurping the throne. Due to the absurdity and cruelty of the former Li Zhuangzong, Li Gongyun secretly cultivated power in the imperial court and won the hearts and minds of the people very successfully.
In 1009, the former Li Zhuangzong fell seriously ill due to long-term immersion in wine, and Li Gongyun thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately took control and blockaded the inside and outside of the palace with his cronies and dead soldiers. At present, When Emperor Li Zhuangzong was killed, Li Gongyun immediately usurped the throne and announced that he would inherit the throne of the former Li Zhuangzong. Because Li Gongyun had already cultivated his power and won the hearts and minds of the people, both inside and outside the imperial court supported him as emperor, and no one stood up to oppose it at all.
In this way, Li Gongyun seized the throne almost without bloodshed, and the former Li Dynasty collapsed and the Li Dynasty was established after only 29 years of guozuo.
The first thing Li Gongyun did when he ascended to the throne was to move the capital. The capital of both the Ding Dynasty and the former Lê Dynasty was Hua Lu (present-day Ninh Binh, Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam), and Li Gongyun considered Hua Lu to be an ominous place, which led to the short life of the Ding Dynasty and the former Lê Dynasty, so he moved the capital to Da Luo and changed his name to Thang Long (present-day Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam).
Li Gongyun remembered what Xiangshi told him in those years that he would be a generation of Ming emperors in the future, so he ruled the country diligently during his reign, ruled the world with benevolence and morality, and took Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history, as an example, and always admonished himself.
Through the efforts of Li Gongyun, the situation that has been unstable, frequent mutinies and turmoil in Vietnam since independence has finally stabilized, and Vietnamese history has entered a stable and gradually rich and powerful Lee Dynasty period, which lasted for more than two hundred years and is one of the longest dynasties in Vietnam's history.
In 1028, Li Gongyun, who had reigned for 19 years, died of illness at the age of 54, with the temple name "Taizu" and the courtesy name "Emperor Shenwu", and was succeeded by Li Foma, the eldest son born to Empress Li (i.e., Princess Foyin, the daughter of Li Huan).
Although Li Gongyun was a former dynasty horse who seized the throne by usurping the throne, Li Gongyun's outstanding martial arts and noble personality have always been regarded as the Ming Emperor of Vietnamese history.
