There were many beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty, and there were more talented women. There is also a Princess Anle, who is known as the most beautiful princess of the Tang Dynasty, but she is red-faced and short-lived, and when she is only 25 years old, she was rushed into the house by her cousin and killed. And this cousin was Li Longji, the husband of later Yang Guifei.
What is the reason for all this? It should also start from the birth of Princess Li Shu'er.
The reason why Li Shu'er is called Li Shu'er is related to his father's experience.
Her father, Li Xian, was the third son of Wu Zetian. However, in order to become empress, Wu Zetian snatched the throne of his son Li Xian and established himself Wu Zhou. Li Xian, on the other hand, was relegated to Fang Ling.
On the way to Fangling, Li Xian's wife, Wei Shi, suddenly wanted to give birth. It was freezing cold, there were no midwives, Li Xian could only take off his coat to wrap his daughter, and from then on, this child was called Li Shu'er.
Twenty years later, a group of ministers led by Prime Minister Zhang Kamzhi forced Wu Zetian to abdicate. Helped Li Xian ascend to the throne for the second time.
Because Li Shu'er's life was relatively difficult when she was a child, Li Xian felt that he was indebted to her, so he was proud of Li Shu'er in all aspects. But I didn't expect that Li Shu'er actually had the intention of emulating Wu Zetian.
The crown prince Li Chongjun discovered the thoughts of his half-sister Li Shu'er and was afraid that it would be unfavorable to him, so he launched a palace coup and planned to kill Wei Hou and Li Shu'er. As a result, Li Xian stopped him in time, and Li Chongjun was executed for the crime of rebellion.
Li Shu'er and her mother Wei Hou are both very ambitious people. As soon as the two discussed, they simply did not do anything and simply poisoned Li Xian. In this way, Li Xian drank the black heart meal sent by Wei Hou and cried out for his life.
After Li Xian's death, Wei Hou established the 16-year-old puppet emperor Li Chongmao as emperor, emulating Wu Zetian's lin dynasty, and even planned to get rid of Li Chongmao himself as empress at any time.
However, before this move could be accomplished, Princess Taiping and Li Longji joined forces and launched the "Tang Long Revolution". A knife resulted in Wei Hou and Princess Anle.
When the little emperor Li Chongmao saw the situation, he simply stopped being the emperor and directly passed the throne to his own uncle, Li Dan, who was also Li Longji's father.
Two years later, Li Dan passed the throne to Li Longji. Li Longji killed his aunt Princess Taiping. At this point, the entire Tang Dynasty, all the women who could seize power died.
conclusion
Wu Zetian's success gave the women in the harem greater ambition and possibility. Princess Taiping, Princess Anle, and Empress Wei were all like this. However, Princess Anle killed her father in order to seize the imperial power, although there was a big reason for Li Xian's doting, but she also really failed li Xian's love.
