Introduction: As we all know, the Tang Dynasty is still very strong, not only has there been two prosperous situations, but also the ancient female emperor Wu Zetian, as for the rule of Zhenguan and the kaiyuan prosperous era, there is a good evaluation in history. In addition, the appearance of Wu Zetian is indeed a classic in history, and such a woman is really admirable.
In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Wu Zetian, the emperor who did not want to be recognized, there was another emperor who also did not want to be recognized, this emperor had just ascended the throne after the death of his father, but the imperial throne had not yet sat in the hot meeting, and he had hastily abdicated, and he reigned for only seventeen days.
On the seventeenth day of the dynasty, the emperor ushered in his abdication edict, and he was still thinking about how to refute it, and the next second the emperor's edict of accession to the throne was published again, and it was his uncle who ascended the throne next, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty instantly changed direction and began to worship his uncle as emperor.
This emperor who reigned for a short time was called Li Chongmao, and his reign time can be said to be the shortest one in the Tang Dynasty, and he does not know what the reason for this ending is, if you go to the bottom of the matter, it will be traced to his father, and his father is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian.
Li Chongmao was born in Hubei, and his father was the son of Wu Zetian, yes, the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian, who is known to be so terrified of his desire for power that he competed with his son. His father, in order to compete with Wu Zetian for power, was eventually abolished and became a prince.
Li Chongmao's arrival was actually an accident, because at this time Li Xian had been abolished for eleven years, during which time they could say that there was no freedom to speak of. Although they were thousands of miles away, their lives and deaths were still in the hands of Wu Zetian. They were always under house arrest by Wu Zetian, and those who guarded them did not have the slightest concern, after all, they were now just prisoners.
During the period of house arrest, Li Xian actually did not forget to enjoy himself and shared a room with one of his maids, and it was this time that the same room allowed him to have his own son, that is, the later Li Chongmao, but Li Xian did not take this maid seriously, nor did he attach much importance to him. So that later history books do not have any record of the maid, and this son came from a humble background, and Li Xian paid no attention to him, without the slightest care.
Because Li Chongmao has three older brothers in front of him, and the first three children are very noble, this Li Chongmao will certainly not be valued. Originally, this Li Xian had no room to turn over, but Wu Zetian somehow brought Li Xian back to the palace when Li Chongmao was four years old and became the crown prince.
After Li Xian returned to the palace, he was very careful, after all, his life was in the hands of Wu Zetian, not to mention living under the eyes of Wu Zetian, any action could lead to the disaster of killing. But with such care, he still did not save his family's life, and in the end, Wu Zetian beat his eldest grandson to death.
But such a cruel thing did not affect Li Chongmao, because he was too young at that time, not to mention that he did not have a noble origin, but was born of a maid. No one wanted to trouble him, after Wu Zetian's death, Li Xian ascended the throne, and Li Chongmao naturally became the prince at that time, and a child from a humble origin actually became a prince, what a big reversal.
In the following days, Empress Wei Shi actually had ill intentions, hoping to become the second Wu Zetian, and eventually killed Li Xian, but he could not imitate Wu Zetian so obviously, after all, the resistance was too great. So she wanted to support a puppet, she controlled the imperial court behind her back, and the youngest child was Li Chongmao, the smaller the easier it was to control, which was a very obvious reason, so he became the emperor.
And Li Chongmao became this emperor is also very strange, he himself does not understand what it is for, but he knows his own situation, and he only knows that everything should be listened to by Wei Hou. But he didn't want to become a puppet like this, he just wanted to resist, but he didn't expect to be recognized.
Unexpectedly, in the following days, Li Longji actually launched a coup d'état, and Wei Shi was also eliminated, and the entire imperial court fell into the hands of Li Longji, in addition to which he also carried out a great purge of the imperial court. However, at this time, Li Chongmao still thought that he could take power, and he did not expect to usher in his abdication edict during the shang dynasty.
So Li Chongmao, who had just been on the throne for a few days, retired, and it was Li Longji who sat on the throne, and he was not persecuted, and eventually became the King of Wen, and he also became the shortest emperor during his reign at that time.
summary:
Born in the imperial family, his life has not belonged to himself since birth, and he will inevitably fall into the struggle for power. Or is it miserable?
