Descendants of Wu Zetian

There are six descendants of Wu Zetian. Princess Anle died, including four sons, Li Hong, Li Dan and another daughter, Princess Li.

Li Hong, the eldest son of Wu Zetian, was born in Yonghui for three years (652). In 656, Xian Qingyuan was established as the Prince, and he was appointed as the Prince 19. He governed the country several times, personally took charge of government affairs, respected ministers and had good interpersonal relationships. In the second year of Shangyuan (675), he died of illness at the age of 24 in Hehe Palace.

Li Hong's death is an important reason why people accuse Wu Zetian of being fierce for thousands of years. According to the history book, she poisoned her son. In fact, the real cause of death of Prince Li Hong was tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was called tuberculosis in ancient times. Tuberculosis was an incurable disease at that time. Finally, four years later, the patient passed away. This fact can be clearly seen from the imperial edict issued by Tang Gaozong and the inscription written by Tang Gaozong himself for Emperor Rhett (Li Hong's death is controversial in history).

Li Xian, the second son of Wu Zetian, was born on the way to Zhaoling on December 17th, the fifth year of Yonghui (654). Li Xian, a gifted scholar of Wu Zetian, once dedicated the Book of the Later Han Dynasty to North Korea. In the second year of Shangyuan (675), after Li Hong's death, Li Xian was made Prince at the age of 22. Five years later, in the first year of Yonglong (680), the prince was 27 years old. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with the way his parents cooperated with him, so his behavior often made Wu Zetian dissatisfied. Wu Zetian once asked the North Gate to learn from the earth, and chose Shaoyang Zheng Fan and Biography of the Filial Son to give to the Prince as symbols of surrender. In the absence of results, Wu Zetian criticized the admonition books many times, but the prince was good at singing and dancing, a lecherous, and had a special relationship with Zhao Daosheng, a slave, and gave him more gold and silk. Negotiator Wei Chengqing refused to listen to his suggestion. Some people denounced this matter, and the court sent prime ministers Xue, Pei Yan and ancient literati Gao for interrogation. Hundreds of soaps were also found from the East Palace Mafang as evidence of rebellion. Zhao Daosheng, a slave, also truthfully confessed the whole process of the prince sending him to kill the doctor Ming Chongyan. This constituted a conspiracy case, so Wu Zetian proposed to abolish the prince as a punishment. On August 22nd, Prince Li Xian was deposed as Shu Ren, who lived in seclusion and severely punished his companions. When the novel "Harmony Collection" given to the prince by Liu Neiyan, the prince's horse washer, was discovered, Tang Gaozong flew into a rage. "To teach people by the Six Classics, I still fear ignorance. What is the significance of counseling? " Li judged that Liu Ne was talking. Gao Zheng, the son of General Zuo Wei Gao Zhenxing, took part in the catering for the prince, and Tang Gaozong handed this responsibility to his father. After Gao was introduced, his father Gao Zhenxing, uncle Gao Shilang and cousin immediately killed him. Li Ming, the Suzhou secretariat, and Li Wei, the successor of Xinzhou secretariat, were demoted and dismissed respectively according to the conspirators of the Prince.

On the second day of punishing Li Xian (August 23rd), Li Xian was made a prince. On November 8th, the first year of Yao Kai (68 1), Prince Li Xian was moved to Bazhou. In the first month of the first year of Guangzhai (684), Wu Zetian sent General Sargin Geqiu Miracle to Bazhou for surveillance. As a result, Qiu miraculously ran to Bazhou and ordered suicide. To this end, Wu Zetian was sentenced to Qiu's outstanding work and demoted to the state secretariat. On April 15, I observed a moment of silence for Li Xian at the county gate. The next day, Li Xian was named King Yong. Soon after, he recalled the miracle of autumn and became General Sargingo.

Guo Moruo, a historian, believed that Pei Yan was responsible for Li Xian's death, and worried that recalling Li Xian would be bad for him, so he lied about the Oracle and killed Li Xian. This view is very reasonable. Pei Yan was the host of the Li Xian case. Whether the behavior is fair or not, it is entirely possible for Li Xianhuai to complain. Killing Li Xian in Bazhou may be Pei Yan's political goal. Wu Zetian couldn't immediately blame Pei Yan for discovering the truth afterwards, so in September that year, when all the officials tried to protect Pei Yan, Wu Zetian refused to listen and let Pei Yan stand in Du Yuting. It was this incident that taught Wu Zetian a painful lesson. Therefore, after abolishing Li Xian 14 years later, when she took him back to the court to use Li Xian again, she took a very cautious attitude. On the ninth day of March in the first year of the Holy Calendar (698), Xu Yanbo was sent to Zhou Fang, deceiving Prime Minister Di Renjie and all courtiers, and cleverly retaking Li Xian.

"The Biography of Di Liang" records: "Later, ten of my wives went to Zhou Fang and announced that' my son is here for my wife to watch. The prefectural governors suppressed the number of people, so there was no confusion. Yin ordered my concubine to take the place of King Luling, and King Luling wore his wife's clothes to return his old number. "States don't understand. A few days in Beijing, Liao Bai knew nothing about the imperial court "such a careful arrangement, obviously learned the painful lesson of Li Xian's murder and had to make it. This shows Wu Zetian's fear of her son being killed again.

Li Xian, the third son of Wu Zetian, was born in Chang 'an on the fifth day of November in the year of Qingyuan in Yu Xian (656). Yonglong year (680) was established as a prince on August 23rd, and Hongdao year (683) was proclaimed emperor on December 11th, at the age of 28. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he was renamed heir saint at the beginning of the following year. On the sixth day of February, it was abolished as the king of Luling. The reason is that he wants to take his father-in-law Wei as his assistant, and he also wants to be the son of a wet nurse. Prime Minister Pei Yangu argued that it was impossible and said angrily, "Why can't I take the world and be Wei?" ! Compassion for an evil servant? "Pei Yan was afraid and told Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian decided to abolish Tang Zhongzong as king of Luling. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, King Li Xiang proclaimed himself emperor and changed to Yuan civilization. State affairs were decided by Wu Zetian, and Li Dan was ordered to live in a different hall without any interference. From then on, Wu Zetian began the era of monopolizing state affairs in the court. In September, Wu Zetian changed to Yuan Guangzhai.

April 22nd, the first year of Guangzhai (684). Li Xian, king of Luling, moved to Zhou Fang, moved to Zhou Jun on 26th, and moved to Zhou Fang on March 2nd1day of the following year. From then on, Li Xian began to live in seclusion for 14 years. It was not until the first year of the Holy Calendar (698) that he was recalled to the court and made a prince. In the first year of Shenlong (705), Li Xian proclaimed himself emperor again. In the fifth year after he proclaimed himself emperor (the first year of Jing Yun), he was poisoned by Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle in Shenlong Hall in June, at the age of 55. Throughout his life, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was regarded as a mediocre talent. Wu Zetian was prescient in abolishing Li Xian, but it was helpless to reuse it after 14.

Li Dan, the fourth son of Wu Zetian, was born on the first day of June in the second year of Longshuo (662). In the first year of Guangzhai (684), he proclaimed himself emperor at the age of 22, and he was Zong Rui. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he changed to Yuan civilization, but he never managed state affairs. Wu Zetian was isolated from other officials at the beginning of her reign. More than 20 years later, Jing Yun proclaimed himself emperor again in the first year (7 10). Two years later, in the first year of Yanhe (7 12), he gave way to his third son, Li Longji. From this point of view, Tang Ruizong Li Dan is also a mediocre son of heaven.

People often say that "children are better than parents". When Wu Zetian came to the court, she knew her son's incompetence. If she abdicates and surrenders the imperial power, it is tantamount to offering her own head. The legacy of her lifelong struggle with Tang Gaozong will fall into the hands of emperors and princes, and she and her descendants will only face death. So Wu Zetian was immersed in the DPRK. Before defeating her political opponents, in the claustrophobic palace of her children and grandchildren, one was to prevent chaos, and the other was to protect her children and prevent others from messing around with the world and causing a mother-child war. After defeating her political opponents, she paved the way for the throne. She became the female emperor in 15, and finally passed on the throne to her son.

Princess Anle, the eldest daughter, was strangled by Wu Zetian shortly after her birth. Princess Anle was chased.

Li is a son and a daughter, and Princess Taiping is a famous figure in Chinese history. She is not only the daughter of the first empress Wu Zetian in the history of China, but also almost really became the "second empress Wu Zetian".

As the youngest daughters of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong's sisters are deeply loved by their parents and brothers, especially her mother Wu Zetian, who is called "the princess who almost owns the world". Some people think that her real name is Li according to the article "The Food Table of Crown Prince Du Dai".
