Why did Wu Zetian kill the crown prince Li Xian?

author:Qilu one point

Ancient feudal dynasties strictly forbade women to participate in politics, as we all know, Wu Zetian can call the emperor inseparable from her viciousness, it can be said that she forgot herself, preferring to sacrifice family affection to achieve hegemony, which is not what ordinary people can do. On the bloody road of the emperor, he killed his sister and brother, killed his daughter and son-in-law, and brutally killed Li Shimuzong. After sitting on the emperor's throne, the reason for the first killing of the eldest son Li Hong was not only that he went against his mother's wishes in the matter of concubines, but also because some of his political deeds were obviously not to respect Wu Zetian's wishes, and those things he did were all Li Zhi supporting him and bringing down Li Hong, which was undoubtedly li Zhi's confidant.

Why did Wu Zetian kill the crown prince Li Xian?

It is reasonable to say that the killing of his brother Li Hong should be a lesson from the past, and the second son, Li Xian, should see the situation clearly and change his surname to Wu Ze. But history is history after all, and no one can change the facts. Although Li Xian was careful to avoid political conflicts with his mother, he still could not escape the bad luck, after Li Hong's death, Li Xian was made crown prince, but in the first year of Yonglong (680 AD) he was deposed as a Shuren, and later died in Qianzhong, and was buried in Qianling with Prince Zhanghuai.

Li Xian was born on December 17, the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), when Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian set out from Chang'an to visit Zhaoling, and was once crowned the King of Yong, this person can be described as both wen and wu, and he was very tolerant, never forgot his reading, was well versed in the art of war, and once served as a great general of the Right Guard and the governor of Liangzhou, which is really a beautiful time. Who doesn't like such a talent, not only is he loved by the people, but Wu Zetian also likes it very much.

After Li Hong's death, Li Xian was made crown prince and reached the peak of his status. Li Xian not only paid attention to the political leaders and the way of touching the characters, but also won the hearts of the people what was carried out by the criminal program and kept in the trial, so he was more supported, and all the civil and military officials praised him. The most special contribution was to recruit the scholars at that time, such as Zhang Da'an, the prince zuo Shuzi, Liu Neyan, the Luozhou Sihu Gexixuan, and the scholar Xu Shuya Chengxuan, who was a historian of Zhu Zhou Baoning, etc., to jointly annotate Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which can be described as a great achievement.

What Li Xian should not have done was to expose Ming Chongyu, a man who passed on his skills and was famous for his miraculous skills, which was deeply liked by Wu Zetian. Most of the words spoken in front of Li Zhi were the words of the ghosts and gods, and they divided the relationship between Li Zhi and Li Xian, saying how Li Zhi was morally corrupt. Li Xian was well aware of the harm caused by filthy words, not only the harem, the country would be affected, and Wu Zetian was partial to this, although he had a rebellious mentality against his mother before, but did not show it, this move was undoubtedly a clear line with Wu Zetian and stood on the position of the Li family. Regarding the cause of Ming Chongyu's death, the annals record that he was killed by robbers, and Wu Zetian was blamed on Li Zhi for this, suspecting that Li Xian sent someone to do it.

In fact, in the eyes of the old wolf, this matter is that Wu Zetian is making a mistake in the past, and Wu Zetian has already found out that Li Xian has become her opponent, taking advantage of the fact that her wings are not full, and solving it as soon as possible. As a result, Li Xian's crown prince was deposed, and later Wu Zetian, in order to avoid Li Xian's rash moves, forced him to commit suicide, only thirty-two years old. Wu Zetian mourned at XianfuMen and posthumously made Li Xian the Prince of Yong.

All Wu Zetian needed was a puppet, and Li Xian was actually following in the footsteps of his brother Li Hong, surnamed Li instead of changing his surname to Wu! In their bone marrow, they had always wanted to restore the Li family's Jiangshan, and poor Li Xian was ordered to go to jiuquan at a young age. Wu Zetian's heart as a mother was painful, but she buried her emotions deeply, forgotten her family affection, and the stumbling blocks under the emperor's feet must be removed!
