Princess Anle, known as "The most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty", is the most beloved daughter of Tang ZhongzongLi Xian and Queen Wei. She has wealth and power, and plays an important role in the court. She attempts to become Wu Zetian came second, but Princess Anle, who had the advantage, eventually died tragically in the coup.
1. The favored Princess Anle
In the first year of Sisheng, Li Xian and others were expelled from Chang'an by Wu Zetian. On the way to Fangling, the pregnant Webster gave birth prematurely due to fetal gas. A baby girl. Li Xian looked at the child in his arms and could only helplessly pull off the baby girl. The child was wrapped in clothes and named Li Guoer . During the more than ten years of imprisonment, Li Xian and Wei Shi lived a frightened life with their children, while Li Guoer, who had been smart since childhood, warmed the couple. In my heart, perhaps this child gave Li Xian hope, and he survived more than ten years of house arrest, until Wu Zetian had to recall Li Xian to pass on him because of his old age.
After Wu Zetian abdicated, Li Xian successfully ascended the throne. At this time, Li Guo'er became so graceful that she was known as "the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty" - Princess Anle.
One day, Princess Anle handed an imperial edict written by herself to Li Xian and asked him to sign it. Li Xian smiled tenderly and looked at his daughter in front of him, without reading the content of the edict at all, and just signed it. The love of her parents developed Princess Anle's petite and willful character, and gradually nourished Princess Anle's ambition, which also laid the hidden danger for Princess Anle's subsequent murder.
When Li Xian ascended the throne, he allowed his seven daughters to open government offices , among which Princess Anle was undoubtedly the most numerous government official. Princess Anle and Queen Wei took advantage of this to take bribes and buy and sell official positions, but Li Xian ignored them. As a result, Princess Anle's power gradually expanded. Many court officials belonged to Princess Anle's sect, which could be said to be overwhelmingly powerful.

2. Princess Anle's request for the throne was rejected, triggering the Jinglong coup .
Princess Anle, who was rich and powerful, no longer concealed her ambitions, and asked Li Xian to abolish the crown prince Li Chongjun and make herself the crown princess, but this was blocked by Wei Yuanzhong. Princess Anle The Lord immediately angrily said, "As the emperor's daughter, why can't you make me the crown princess!"
Princess Anle's request obviously touched Li Xian's bottom line. Li Xian, who had always doted on his daughter, finally rejected the request. However, Princess Anle did not give up on her ambition for the throne.
Li Chongjun was offended when Princess Anle asked the emperor to depose the prince and ask for the throne. Although Li Chongjun was the crown prince, his life was not easy. Queen Wei and Princess Anle not only often bullied Li Chongjun, but even called him a slave, but Li Xian ignored it. After all, the bullied Li Chongjun was Unable to sit still, he launched the Jinglong coup.
In the first year of Jinglong, Li Chongjun launched a coup. Li Xian and Queen Wei were furious after hearing about this and ordered their generals to lead their troops to resist Li Chongjun's attack. In the end, Li Chongjun was defeated and killed.
After the Jinglong coup, Princess Anle did not have any reflection or vigilance about this, and continued to live a life of arrogance and luxury. Naturally, she did not give up her ambition for the throne. It was precisely because of Princess Anle's pride and arrogance that she ultimately ruined herself.
3. Princess Anle and Empress Wei conspired to kill Li Xian, and were eventually killed in a coup.
In the fourth year of Jinglong, Queen Wei and Princess Anle, who had coveted the throne for a long time, decided to conspire to poison Li Xian. Li Xian must have never imagined that he would die in the hands of his wife and daughter who he had loved all his life. After Li Xian's death, Queen Wei eliminated dissidents in the court, and all the court forces were in favor of Queen Wei. However, Queen Wei did not ascend the throne as expected.
Knowing that Queen Wei and Princess Anle planned to compete for the throne, King Linzi Li Longji and Princess Taiping jointly launched the Tang Long Revolution and led the army to attack the palace. At this time, Princess Anle was dressing up leisurely, facing He still remained calm and calm against the enemy in front of him, and even before he died, he still looked arrogant, perhaps because he had already anticipated his own fate.
4. The impact of Wu Zetian becoming emperor
Wu Zetian becoming emperor broke the tradition in ancient feudal society that only men could inherit the throne. During Wu Zetian's reign, women's education was vigorously promoted, and women's status gradually improved and they also gained a certain say.
When Wu Zetian was in power, she promoted and appointed women as officials. Shangguan Wan'er was a typical example. Stimulated by this, Tang Dynasty women at that time began to have political ambitions. Among them, the most popular ones were Princess Anle and Queen Wei. .
Although Princess Anle had the ambition to imitate Wu Zetian and become emperor, she did not have Wu Zetian's abilities and qualities. During Wu Zetian's reign, the country's power gradually increased, but Princess Anle did not have Wu Zetian's strategic courage. failed.
