In 710, Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian suddenly died violently, and Empress Wei wanted to reign in the world. However, Princess Taiping and Li Dan's third son, Li Longji, joined forces to destroy Wei Hou's faction in one fell swoop and put Li Dan on the emperor's throne.
After Li Dan ascended the throne, Li Longji, who made great achievements, became the crown prince under Li Chengji's resignation, and Princess Taiping, who was also indispensable, was naturally rewarded richly.
However, Princess Taiping, who has long been addicted to power, does not want to be a prosperous princess, she only needs the power in her hands.
Princess Taiping continued to install her own cronies in the dynasty, which greatly displeased the crown prince Li Longji.
The two aunts and nephews fought endlessly for the power in their hands, and Tang Ruizong and Li Dan were caught in the middle, and they were embarrassed to eat, and they didn't know how to eat and sleep at night.
In 712, Emperor Ruizong of Tang, Li Dan, suddenly ceded the throne to Li Longji and retired as emperor himself.
Li Dan did this to make Princess Taiping die and be an indisputable person like him.
But how could Princess Taiping, who was enchanted by power, die, and as time passed, she adored her mother more and more, and she dreamed of one day being able to reign in the world.
Princess Taiping secretly colluded with his henchmen to overthrow Li Longji, but Li Longji's city government had already understood everything deeply, and he preemptively broke Princess Taiping's dream of being empressed.
In 713, Princess Taiping failed in her rebellion and was captured by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji, and soon after, she committed suicide at home.
After the death of Princess Taiping, the period of women's intervention in the Tang Dynasty ended. Since then, it has ushered in the prosperity of the "Kaiyuan and prosperous era" in history.
Princess Taiping originally wanted to be a good wife and mother, but the death of her first husband Xue Shao disillusioned her dreams, and Princess Taiping, who had lost her lover, became greedy and indulgent, as if only power could protect her.
However, Princess Taiping was also a person who defended the Li Tang Dynasty, and her two actions ensured that the throne was inherited in Li Tang, and the Tang Dynasty that lasted for nearly 300 years was passed down to the merit of Princess Taiping.
If Xue Shao hadn't died, she should have been the wife of a little bird. What do you think about this, welcome to leave a message to follow!
