After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, he dominated Concubine Wu Hui alone. The origin of this concubine Wu Hui is not small, she is Wu Zetian's granddaughter, Wu Sansi's niece. Because
has such a prominent family background, while receiving the emperor's special favor, it also became her fetters to another step. Z2z
Concubine Wu Hui was first named Jieyu and gave birth to four sons and three daughters of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. All of her children were favored by the emperor because of her mother.
Tang Xuanzong once had the idea of making Wu clan the queen, but because the court had lingering fears about Empress Wu Zetian, he strongly opposed it.
Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to retreat and promoted Wu Jieyu to Concubine Hui in 724 AD (12th year of Kaiyuan), but at the same time stipulated that the courtesy of Concubine Wu Hui in the palace should be equal to that of the queen.
The so-called one person won the Dao, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven, the Wu family's mother Yang was named Mrs. Zheng Guo, and the younger brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin were also promoted and promoted.
Li Longji's special favor, so that Concubine Wu Hui gradually had an indiscreet.
She gave birth to four sons. The eldest and second child both died early. Currently, only three sons and four are left. At this time, she wanted to let the eldest son Li Hao take the place of the prince. The mother of the prince Li Ying at the time of
was born humble. At this time, she was in a situation where her grandmother did not love her and her uncle did not love her. In addition, Concubine Wu Hui wanted to replace her with Li Wei, so she began to suppress the prince in every possible way.
Li Ying was very distressed about this. When he got together with the princes Li Yao and Li Ju, there were many complaints.
This allowed Concubine Wu Hui to seize the handle, and later conspired with the prime minister Li Linfu to frame the prince in rebellion. Tang Xuanzong gave all his three sons to death in a rage.
All three stumbling blocks were cleared by Concubine Wu Hui. It stands to reason that Li Hao is already on his way, but unfortunately something happened later, which happened to his mother, Concubine Wu Hui.
We have to admit that this concubine Wu Hui has the inheritance of Wu Zetian's vicious heart, but she does not have the tenacious and strong character of her aunt.
Since the death of the three princes, Concubine Wu Hui has had nightmares every day when she sleeps. She feels in a daze that the ghosts of the three princes come to her to settle accounts, so that she has developed to the point of neuroticism.
Concubine Wu Hui thought it was the soul of the wrongdoer who was demanding her life, so she was busy inviting others. The monk, Taoist priest, and nun all asked for it, but everything was still to no avail. Under extreme mental pressure, Concubine Wu Hui collapsed completely and did not wait for her son's prince Some progress is dead.
After the death of Concubine Wu Hui, Tang Xuanzong was very sad and named her a queen, posthumous posthumous title.
As a promising emperor, in addition to the affairs of men and women, what is more important is the state affairs. When
calmed down, Tang Xuanzong also thought about his three sons who were unworthy, and felt that it was a pity that they died. At this time, I heard about some things, and seemed to feel that the death of the three princes had a lot to do with Concubine Wu Hui, so he had an opinion on Concubine Wu Hui.
It is said that Li Hao is a good child, handsome and smart. Over the years, his son has been more expensive than his mother, and he has basically monopolized his favor. It is a good choice to establish him.
The problem is that Concubine Wu Hui has committed such a big mistake, how can he still consider his son as the prince?
Li Longji at this moment is very uncertain and hesitant. As if suffering from mental weakness, I was depressed all day long, not thinking about eating and drinking, and I couldn't sleep well.
Gao Lishi followed Li Longji when he was the king of Linzi. Because of his cleverness and dexterity, young and beautiful, he devoted himself to serving Li Longji and won Li Longji's favor.
The Tang Long coup that took place in 710 AD (During the Tang Long period), Li Longji was successful, and Gao Lishi also made great contributions and was reused. Later, he was awarded the official silver and Qing Guanglu doctor, served as the same official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and truly became Tang Xuanzong's hardcore follower.
When Li Ying and others were ordered to die by Tang Xuanzong's order, Gao Lishi had no right to stop him, but he could feel the slight psychological pain after Tang Xuanzong's anger.
Now that the matter of Li Chu has been delayed again and again, the reason why Tang Xuanzong is hesitant is that one is apologetic to the death of the prince in his anger; the other is that he has thoughts about the actions of Concubine Wu Hui. Since
learned the lessons of the Han Dynasty, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, so eunuchs had no right to speak in court affairs.
But Gao Lishi had followed Tang Xuanzong for many years, and seeing Li Longji's distressed look, he was also anxious for his master. inHe asked in a probing tone: "Your Majesty, what is the reason for your depression all day?" The question of
made Li Longji very troubled, and said to his heart, you have been with me for so many years, don't you still understand In my mind, I said: "Aren't you asking you knowingly?"
Now, based on the psychological distance between their monarchs and his subjects, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Lishi is the roundworm in the belly of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. After listening to Xuanzong Tang, he said this. He felt that the saint was so painstaking about this matter, as if it was unnecessary, just like chatting casually:
"Why do you (sacred) use the sacred heart so sacred, but push it forever, who dares to fight again!" Zhi Tong Jian·Tang Ji Thirty")
Because Tang Xuanzong got into the horns at this time, he fell into distress. Gao Lishi's words seemed to wake up the dreamer.
Yes, the inheritance of the throne has always been "there is a straight, but no straight". Isn't it troublesome to be so entangled?
Li Cong, the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, was disfigured by hunting and was excluded from the selection of the crown prince; the second prince Li Ying was an abandoned prince and was given to death. But there is also the third child, Li Yun, who is currently the oldest prince.
Lee's character is stable, very filial, he has never made a mistake, he is also very clever, and at the same time he has no ties to foreign ministers and is the most innocent. Because he was very low-key and didn't usually go to Tang Xuanzong to fight for favor, he almost forgot the existence of this son. In fact, he was obviously more qualified than Li Hao, and more convincing, but why did he forget it.
thought of this, the haze on his face was swept away, and he nodded happily:
"Yes, yes! So are you!" ("Tang Ji Thirty")
Although Li Linfu is the chief prime minister He has been trying his best to push Li Hao to the top, but that is just a thought in his heart, and he dare not put it on the table. Because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty chose Li Yu as the prince, it was the most orthodox rule of succession in ancient times. Li Linfu couldn't say anything, and the courtiers could not raise other objections, so the position of Li Wei as the crown prince was quickly determined.
On the third day of June in 738 AD (the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan), Emperor Xuanzong of Tang formally issued an edict and appointed the third prince Li Yu as the prince, but his crown prince gave a new name-Li Heng. Many things in
history are made up of coincidences. If it weren't for Gao Lishi's random words, Tang Xuanzong, who was in distress, had to take the matter of the prince to the courtiers to discuss, I don't know how many twists and turns there will be. Otherwise, it is said that Gao Lishi, who is the most ruthless emperor and has the merit of making decisions, was not treated favorably by his successor Tang Suzong Li Heng, and was finally exiled and died by vomiting blood.
