History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Li Hong was raised by his aunt Wu Shun since he was a child. He was not close to his mother. After Wu Zetian became pregnant again, he asked his sister Wu Shun to come into the palace to help him."

"Wu Zetian saw that her son Li Hong was just in awe of her and was very close to her sister Wu Shun. She often saw Li Hong greeting Wu Shun and asking for her welfare, and he was very considerate in serving tea and water. Once, when Wu Shun was sick, Li Hong not only She gently wiped away the sweat, and also brought a fan to fan her, which can be described as meticulous."

"Wu Zetian even heard her son Li Hong call Wu Shun's mother, which shocked her. Wu Zetian was worried that when her son ascended the throne in the future, he might not make her the queen mother, but would make her sister Wu Shun the queen mother."

"Wu Zetian, who had a strong desire for power throughout her life, would never let herself be passive or put herself at a disadvantage, so she had to strike first to gain the upper hand. "Anyone who wants to achieve great things can be killed if he feels like it." Wu Zetian is such a person, That’s how it’s done!”

"Li Hong began to supervise the country as a prince at the age of eight. He had an entire political group around him. The longer the prince stayed in supervising the country, the political group surrounding him became bigger and bigger like a snowball. Wu Zetian knew that as long as the prince became the climate , it will become increasingly difficult for her to control her."

"Furthermore, the emperor trusted and favored the prince very much for his benevolence, filial piety and virtuousness. Once Tang Gaozong was more inclined to let the prince take charge of the government, and the prince's palace was assisted by a huge political group, she would be restricted and restricted if she wanted to monopolize power. She thought twice. It will be difficult when the Holy Spirit comes to court!"

"What's more, the prince has already married and is assisted by his father-in-law, Prime Minister Pei Judao. The power of this foreign relative cannot be underestimated."

"In addition, the prince is kind-hearted, handles government affairs in an orderly manner, and cares about the people of the world. The prince is becoming more and more emperor-like. This makes Wu Zetian, who is obsessed with power, deeply worried. If she cannot control the prince in the future, all the things she has deliberately gained will be It is difficult for Wu Zetian to accept that it has turned into nothing."

"The last straw that forced Wu Zetian to make up his mind to kill Li Hong was that Tang Gaozong's health was getting worse and worse. He often suffered from wind attacks, splitting headaches, and life was worse than death. Gaozong made it clear that he would give way to Prince Li when his health got better. Hong, he is happy to be the Supreme Emperor and enjoy peace and happiness."

"This made Wu Zetian, who had great power and regarded power as her life, unable to accept it no matter what. Wu Zetian "accidentally ate something bad" and died mysteriously when the prince Li Hong accompanied his father, emperor and mother to the Hebi Palace."

Liu Xiu: Haha!I saw a person who was even more ruthless than Empress Lu, who pales in comparison.

Empress Changsun: You didn’t take care of your child, why should he be more filial to your sister?
Wu Zetian: Empress Changsun, what you say is nice. Which prince in the harem does everything personally? Even if I let my sister take care of it, he should not call someone else his mother. It really hasn’t happened to you, you can’t feel it!
Dugu Jialuo: Although the Queen is vicious, there is nothing wrong with her words. It’s me, and I can’t feel it. Although I feel uncomfortable, I won’t kill my child because of this.

Fusu: Perhaps even Li Hong did not expect that the cause of death was that he was killed by his own mother. What about the other princes?
"Li Xian, the sixth son of Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and the second son of Wu Zetian."

"Shortly after Li Hong's death, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian made 22-year-old Li Xian the crown prince."

"Li Xian was smart, studious and talented since he was a child. He had a high reputation among scholar-bureaucrats. However, Li Xian was incompatible with his mother."

"The righteous doctor Ming Chongyan used talismans and magic to win Wu Zetian's favor. He guessed that Empress Wu didn't like Li Xian, so he often told Empress Wu that Li Xian was not good-looking and unfit to succeed to the throne."

"Just at this time, there were rumors in the palace that Li Xian was born to Wu Zetian's sister, Mrs. Han. After Li Xian learned about this, he felt deeply uneasy and frightened, and indulged in drinking and sex all day long."

"In 679 AD, Wu Zetian sent Ming Chongyan to Chang'an for business. He was killed by bandits on the way. Wu Zetian suspected that it was the prince Li Xian who did it, but no evidence could be found for a while." "Later someone reported to Wu Zetian that the prince's secret party Zhao Daosheng had killed him. Ming Chongyan, so Zhao Daosheng was interrogated, and Zhao Daosheng confessed that it was Ming Chongyan who was asked by the prince to kill Ming Chongyan."

"Wu Zetian was furious after hearing the news and deposed Prince Li Xian as a commoner. Li Xian soon moved to Bazhou. In March 684 AD, which was also the third month after the death of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian sent Qiu Shenji, a cruel official, to Bazhou. The state forced Li Xian to commit suicide, and Li Xian was 3 years old when he died."

Liu Che: You, the queen, must be sick!If you force your own son to die for a minister, can't you find a good one among these ten outstanding emperors?Everyone has to bring some problems.

Zhu Di: Is the real reason the death of the minister?Is it only the queen herself who knows whether it is for her ministers or for herself?

Zhao Kuangyin: I think a person who knows what he wants will not kill his son for a minister, but this prince is blocking the way.

"If Wu Zetian wants to establish herself as emperor, she must have great power. She must have an iron-blooded wrist and a heart as solid as a rock. Those who stand in my way will die and those who go against me will perish. She must be able to endure what ordinary people would endure and do things that ordinary people would not dare to do! Her ambition too big!"

"In the reign of Emperor Hongdao, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty passed away, and Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Xian was made emperor. Empress Wu took the title of emperor in the name of the Empress Dowager."

"Tang Zhongzong only reigned for one year before Wu Zetian deposed the emperor on the grounds of incompetence and demoted him to the title of King of Luling. He then installed the fourth son Li Dan, who was even more timid and fearful, as emperor and continued to be manipulated by Empress Wu."

"Li Xian, the seventh son of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the third son of Wu Zetian, and the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After the death of 56-year-old Tang Gaozong, Li Xian ascended the throne as Tang Zhongzong on the seventh day."

"Wu Zetian could tolerate Li Xian's succession mainly because Tang Gaozong had just died and she had not yet fully controlled the court. In addition, Li Xian was cowardly and easy to control."

"It can be considered a stopgap measure. Li Xian is not as smart as his two brothers. He has done a lot of ridiculous things since he became emperor."

"Once, when he wanted to promote his father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen as prime minister, he was opposed by the powerful minister Pei Yan. Li Xian was furious and scolded Pei Yan."

"Pei Yan was angry and scared, so he told Wu Zetian about it. After Wu Zetian heard this, she didn't expect her son to be so useless and decided to abolish his throne."

"So, Wu Zetian summoned hundreds of officials to the Qianyuan Palace, ordered the Yulin Army to enter the palace to guard, declared that Zhongzong was fatuous and incompetent and could not be the king of a country, and deposed him as King of Luling. Then he ordered the warriors to help Zhongzong off the throne of the emperor and put him under house arrest. In another hall."

"Compared to the two elder brothers, this one is indeed a bit cowardly. He has soft ears. If the wind blows from his pillow, he will appoint his father-in-law as prime minister. Don't be afraid of opposition from others. An emperor is so angry that he yells and cannot control himself in the court. If you control yourself, lose your temper, and have no emperor-like behavior at all, if you become emperor, you may end up like Song Huizong, and you may not know what will happen to the Tang Dynasty in the future."
