There are some people in history who are very smart when they should be smart, and even stupider than pigs when they should be stupid. For example, there was a prince named Li Yi in the Tang Dynasty, who was considered very stupid by people at that time. Tang Wenzong and Tang Wuzong Tang Wuzong both like to tease the emperor's uncle Li Yi. Li Yi acted like a stupid pig in front of everyone, so people at that time said, ", the king of light, is not wise, ."
Everyone thinks that King Guang is a fool, and Ma Yuanzhi also thinks that King Guang is stupid. Ma Yuanzhi wanted to establish a puppet emperor that was easy to control, so he helped the fool Li Yi to the throne of the emperor. After King Guang Li Yi became emperor, he became Emperor Xuanzong Li Chen, known as the "Little Taizong". There are many princes in history who pretend to be stupid like King Guang in his early years. For example, , Tengwang , Li Yuanying is like this. Today, the author will tell you the story of Tengwang playing stupid.
Li Yuanying is the son of Li Yuan after abdicating as the Supreme Emperor. He is the youngest younger brother of Li Shimin . There is no historical document to verify the specific date of Li Yuanying's birth. In ancient times, princes were to be crowned as kings at around three years old. Li Yuanying was named King Teng in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. From this, it is speculated that Li Yuanying should be the son of Li Yuan who was nearly 70 years old.
Li Yuanying is the son of Emperor Gaozu of Tang. In front of him is a talented second brother Li Shimin, and more than a dozen half-brothers. When Li Yuanying looked at the brothers, he knew that the chair in the Tai Chi Hall must have nothing to do with him. If Li Yuanying does not compete for the throne, he can only be a Xiaoyao prince.

Li Yuanying lives a very casual life. He has two major hobbies, one is painting and the other is beauty. Li Yuanying particularly likes calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting, and they are both very powerful. Practicing calligraphy and painting requires achieving success, which is a very time-consuming task. For the emperor, it would be too reassuring if the prince was willing to use calligraphy and painting to spend his time.
Li Yuanying knew that his calligraphy and painting skills were of high quality and would not attract the emperor's suspicion, so he did not hide his weakness. Li Yuanying's painting skills reached the level of starting a sect. Li Yuanying is the founder of "Teng School Butterfly Painting". The butterflies he paints are comparable to those of Ouyang Xun in the calligraphy world. Ouyang Xun is a master of the founding of the Oupai calligraphy, and Li Yuanying is a master of the Tengpai butterfly painting. The two are equally matched.
Professor Han Sheng from the Department of History of Fudan University has a high opinion in the video open class "History of Sui and Tang Dynasties": " Li Yuan was Emperor Yang of Sui When he was in the dynasty, he was a lustful and incompetent idiot image. When Emperor Yang of Sui became suspicious, Li Yuan had to be idiot. If Li Yuan was not idiot, Emperor Yang of Sui would kill him. "
Once, Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to summon Li Yuan. Li Yuan was late due to illness, so Emperor Yang of Sui asked Li Yuan's niece Wang: "Has your uncle died ?"

The niece quickly told Li Yuan about this. After Li Yuan knew about it, she would turn on the candid mode. Li Yuan lingers in the flowers, drunk with the beauty every day, and asks his subordinates for "personnel affairs". This incident is a classic " New Book of Tang . The original text is: " Emperor Gaozu became more afraid when he heard about it, and he was so worried that he would drink and accept bribes. "
Emperor Yang of Sui knew that he was having sex with beautiful women all day long when he saw his cousin. He had no ability, but the child gave birth to eleven. When Li Yuan was young, he had many wives and concubines and gave birth to five sons and six daughters. Emperor Yang of Sui thought that Li Yuan was a fool who was greedy and lustful, so he eliminated his murderous intention towards Li Yuan.
Emperor Yang of Sui asked his cousin Li Yuan to be the mascot and became the commander of the name to go to Shanxi to wipe out the peasant uprising army. Everyone knows what happened next. After arriving in Shanxi, Li Yuan threw away his canvas skin and showed the true skills of the founding emperor.
Li Yuanying is Li Yuan's biological son, and he inherited Nai's father's performance genes. Li Yuanying's acting skills are even better than his father Li Yuan. Li Yuan's lust was very famous in the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuanying's reputation for lust was also specifically recorded in the "New Book of Tang".
"New Book of Tang" records that when Li Yuanying was the governor of Hongzhou (now Nanchang ), he did two bad things.One of the bad things is related to lust. There is a beautiful woman named Zheng Man in Hongzhou, who is a married woman. Zheng Man's husband is a clerk under Li Yuanying, and he has to rely on Li Yuanying to give him a meal.

Li Yuanying fell in love with Zheng Lan and summoned Zheng Lan into the prince's mansion on the grounds that the princess was summoned. Zheng Man had no choice but to go to Governor's Office . Li Yuanying wanted to force Zheng Man to King Teng. Zheng Man was very powerful. She took off her shoes and looked at Li Yuanying's face, slapped one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty and ninety times.
Zheng Man beat Li Yuanying while shouting: "The prince is a noble and noble with noble morality and will not do such despicable things. It must be the slave who pretends to be the prince and does something wrong to destroy the prince's reputation."
"New Book of Tang" records that Zheng Man beats Li Yuanying to the point of blood, but Li Yuanying dare not admit it. Li Yuanying also insisted: "It was the family slave who pretended to be a widow and impolite Zheng Man. The person who was beaten was a slave who was not a widow."
This incident became a joke in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of Tang I heard that the emperor’s uncle was so stupid that he couldn’t even handle a woman, and he felt relieved. The second bad thing Li Yuanying did in Nanchang was to build Tengwang Pavilion . Li Yuanying felt that the Governor's Office was too small and could not hold a large-scale singing and dancing party, so he ordered the construction of Tengwang Pavilion next to Ganjiang .

Tengwang Pavilion is now a landmark building in Nanchang, but at that time it was a waste of money and money. The gentry in Nanchang had a lot of complaints about Li Yuanying's desire for pleasure and building Tengwang Pavilion. Li Yuanying ignored it and still built the Tengwang Pavilion. After Li Yuanying repaired the Tengwang Pavilion, he had not enjoyed much, but because the public complaints were too great, he was transferred to another place by Emperor Gaozong of Tang to a vassal.
Li Yuanying wore a fool's skin and performed the role of a fool's prince everywhere. His most outstanding performance in his acting career was during Li Shimin's funeral. Other royal children are performing heartbroken scenes. Li Yuanying took a different approach and performed the drama " episodes of official swallows and singing and dancing " during the mourning period of Emperor Taizong.
Li Yuanying held a singing and dancing party during the national mourning. How could a normal person do such a stupid thing? The people of the Tang Dynasty, including Emperor Gaozong of Tang, all believed that Li Yuanying was stupider than a pig, so he did such a stupid thing. Emperor Gaozong of Tang could not have seen anything like stupid pigs, so he scolded the emperor's uncle Li Yuanying and then let him make a fuss.
Li Yuanying was stunned by pretending to be stupid and avoiding Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Wu Zetian also thinks that Li Yuanying is stupid and is too lazy to kill him. Li Yuanying was stunned for the rest of his life, gave birth to eighteen sons, and finally ended up in wealth and prosperity.
