Li Longji is a very legendary emperor, the Great Tang has prospered in his hands, but it is also because of him, the Great Tang was almost killed, this is not the most important thing, he has done the most incomprehensible thing, that is, listening to rumors, killing his three sons in one day, causing the prince Li Xiang to worry for 18 years.
To be honest, it is a very remarkable thing that a person can overcome his fear to pursue what he wants, and it is precisely because of such grinding that Prince Li Xiang can ascend the throne. And after Li Xiang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to capture the emperor who ran to this place in Bashu, that is, Li Longji. It seems that in the face of interests, father and son are not father and son. Then why does Li Xiang hate Li Longji so much? This has to start with Li Longji in his youth.
1. Li Longji listened to rumors and killed his third son in one day
When Li Longji was the emperor, he had a favorite concubine, don't look at him as a woman, but the ambition in his heart is very big, she is a concubine who is not willing to be mediocre, and she is also a concubine who wants to be an empress, so her style is very methodical.
According to the generation, this concubine is Wu Zetian's niece, she lost her father at a young age, and has always been adopted in the palace, it seems that all her behavior style is on the same level as Wu Zetian. This woman alone cannot be underestimated, and she is a person with a particularly vicious mind, and Li Longji killed his three sons in one day because he listened to her rumors.
This day is really a little difficult for Li Xiang to accept, the old saying is good: tiger poison does not eat children, Li Longji is not yet a tiger, but can blade his three sons, which can only show that he is a relatively ruthless person, so it is also from this moment that the father-son relationship between Li Xiang and Li Longji has gone farther and farther, and this day has tormented Li Xiang every day for the next 18 years.
2. Li Xiang ascended the throne, and Li Longji was captured
At the beginning, the crown prince Li Ying was pulled off the horse by Concubine Wu Hui, because in Concubine Wu Hui's heart, the biggest obstacle to becoming an empress was Li Ying, and the result was that although she pulled Li Ying down, she did not push her son up, which is not a very dramatic side, which means that people are not as good as heavenly calculations.
Something that is yours is yours, not your calculations for half a day, but also an empty one. Because the position of the crown prince could not be idle for a long time, not long after Li Ying "dismounted", Li Longji made Li Xiang the prince, and Li Xiang, who became the prince, knew that his father was not a benevolent person. Therefore, in the days to come, he was cautious everywhere, afraid that he would take a wrong step and invite the scourge of killing.
Such a day is definitely not very comfortable, but Li Xiang has no way, in order to gain Li Longji's trust, Li Xiang took his own married wife off, which is really too difficult, it is precisely because of such forbearance, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Xiang has the opportunity to get rid of the status quo.
A year later, Li Xiang, because he had the support of most people, chose to ascend the throne, and with the end of the Anshi Rebellion, all order returned to normal, and the first thing Li Xiang did was to capture Li Longji back. Faced with such a situation, Li Longji is also a person who accepts when he meets well, he admitted Li Xiang's position in front of everyone, and Li Xiang also let him live a good life because of Li Longji's knowledge of the time.
But the good times did not last long, and in the end, Li Xiang still chose to imprison Li Longji in the deep palace, and there were many reasons for him, perhaps because he was afraid that Li Longji was greedy for power, or because Li Longji killed his third son in one day, leaving an insurmountable gap in Li Xiang's heart, in addition, it is most likely that Li Xiang wants to ask for an explanation for the eighteen years when he was terrified.
Don't forget, because in those days, it was also to dispel Li Longji's suspicions, Li Xiang took his wife off, and things have done this step, and it is impossible for you to make him not hate.
