In 737 AD, Tang Xuanzong killed three of his own sons in one day by giving poisoned wine, including the crown prince Li Ying, and the prince wailed before he died: "Father is so ruthless, in your heart, the flesh and blood of your relatives are not as good as a woman!" Tang Xuanzong was unmoved, and he didn't even shed a single tear.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is the theorem of history that prosperity must decline. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, a merry and talented man, could not escape the fate of the rise and fall of the dynasty.
In 712 AD, Li Longji succeeded to the throne as emperor, and he chose the Han princess Wang as the queen.
Queen Wang is gentle and graceful, but it is a pity that she has no children for many years and was snubbed by Li Longji.
Later, Li Longji accepted several favorite concubines, among which the most favored was Zhao Life.
Concubine Zhao Li's eyebrows are affectionate, and she is moving.
She gave birth to a son for Li Longji, named Li Ying, smart and well-behaved, Li Longji liked it very much, and made Li Ying the prince.
Li Longji also has two sons, namely Li Yao, the king of Hubei and Li Ju, the king of light, who are also smart and sensible children.
The queen was worried about having no children every day, and she could only lean on the door and sigh all day long.
In the middle of summer, the queen went to the temple to pray for a child.
But there were spies in the harem who told Li Longji that it was against etiquette for Queen Wang to pray for a son in the temple.
Li Longji was furious, thinking that Empress Wang had ill intentions, so he planned to depose Empress Wang.
When the queen learned of this, her heart was like ashes, and she died of depression soon after.
At the same time that Empress Wang was deposed, the object of Li Longji's favor was replaced by a woman named Concubine Wu Hui.
Concubine Wu Hui was born with a peugeot and spoke elegantly.
Soon after she entered the palace, she was deeply favored, and in order to win Li Longji's favor, she tirelessly served Li Longji to live.
Finally, Concubine Wu Hui became pregnant and gave birth to a child, named Li Mao, and Li Longji was very happy.
It's just that Concubine Wu Hui is full of ambition and is determined to let her son sit on the dragon chair.
So she began to make friends with powerful people in the court and win over ministers.
Later, Concubine Wu Hui repeatedly used silver money and treasures to bribe Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
One day, Concubine Wu Hui invited Li Linfu to the palace to enjoy the flowers.
Concubine Wu Hui inadvertently talked about letting her son Li Mao take the heir, and Li Linfu deeply agreed.
Concubine Wu Hui said happily: "I will not forget the Qing family at that time." ”
Li Linfu said with a smile: "Concubine Hui is serious, as the prime minister, she should assist the monarch and rejuvenate the country and benefit the people." ”
Concubine Wu Hui nodded knowingly, and she had already calculated a perfect plan in her heart.
On the second day, Concubine Wu Hui sent her henchmen to the prince's mansion to report that there were thieves in the palace and asked the prince Li Ying to lead troops to rescue him.
Li Ying was worried about the safety of her father, and immediately took her two younger brothers, Li Yao and Li Ju, into the palace.
Unexpectedly, this was in the hands of Concubine Wu Hui, and Concubine Wu Hui hurriedly informed Li Longji and framed the prince for rebellion.
Li Longji was furious, scolded his third son on the spot, and demoted him to a concubine.
Concubine Wu Hui pretended to be pitiful, saying that the prince was suspicious and should not be merciful.
She glanced at Li Linfu again, and Li Linfu understood and echoed: "Your Majesty is sacred, and the ministers are obedient." ”
So Li Longji ordered the death of the three sons, and the three princes fled in panic when they heard the news, but they were soon arrested and executed.
Concubine Wu Hui was triumphant, and her conspiracy succeeded.
Li Longji also announced that Concubine Wu Hui's son Li Mao was the new crown prince, and Concubine Wu Hui was very happy and wanted to be regent as soon as possible.
However, the good times did not last long, Concubine Wu Hui suddenly contracted an illness and died, leaving behind, and Li Longji began to find a new love after losing his love.
By chance, he fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, the princess of Shouwang Li Mao, and accepted her as his favorite concubine.
Later, Li Longji was infatuated with Yang Yuhuan's appearance, indulged excessively, abandoned political affairs, and the Anshi Rebellion was about to break out, and the Tang Dynasty entered decline.
It can be said that this series of things is the result of coveting imperial power.
Li Longji's life has been up and down, which is really embarrassing.
In his later years, he often missed his third son, and he felt very guilty.
However, at this time, Queen Wang, Concubine Zhao Li, and Concubine Wu Hui have all passed away.
Li Longji knew that it would be difficult to reproduce the past, and when he was old, he looked back on the past and was full of emotion.
