Although there were many high-profile emperors in the history of the Tang Dynasty, one very special figure is little known. His name is Li Xu, that is, Tang Shunzong, a very special emperor in the long history.
An extraordinary path to the throne.
Li Yu was born in the East Palace of Chang'an, under Emperor Dezong, he was tested by the war of the Anshi Rebellion, and experienced the fall of the Tang Dynasty at a young age. After his father's accession to the throne, he quickly became the crown prince and began to dream of saving the fate of the country. However, after Dejong ascended the throne, there was a change in policy, and the country fell into a chaotic state of economic collapse and boiling public resentment.
The prince is in turmoil.
The Jingyuan Mutiny broke out, and Dezong's mishandling led to the spread of the rebellion to Chang'an, but Li Yu showed extraordinary courage at a critical moment, leading a small number of forbidden troops to escort his father to evacuate safely, and even performed heroically on the battlefield.
The road to Prince was bumpy.
Although Prince Li Yu's position is stable, he also faces internal and external pressures, such as the "eldest princess incident" in the third year of Zhenyuan. Although he decisively divorced the crown princess to avoid trouble, Dezong still considered another crown prince.
The prince built his own forces.
In Dezong's later years, Li Yu actively explored his own political line, formed forces, such as the "Two Kings and Eight Simas", and became an advocate of "Yongzhen Innovation".
Legend ascends to the throne. 
After the death of his father, Li Yu, who had experienced 26 years of princely career, miraculously ascended the throne and became Tang Shunzong. As soon as he ascended to the throne, he eagerly set about the "Yongzhen Reform" with the intention of revitalizing the empire.
The challenge of Yongzhen innovation.
Shunzong sought to reform the country, rectify the tax system, weaken the power of eunuchs, and reconcile the relations between feudal towns. However, his team is inadequate, and reform is difficult to achieve.
The setback of reforms.
Shunzong's poor health, combined with disagreements and corruption within the team, led to a complete failure of the reform. Infighting, desire, and incompetence became the main causes of failure.
Epilogue. 
Although Shunzong's reform was aimed at revitalization, the difficulties and infighting eventually led to its failure. This prince lost his time suddenly, and on the throne, it was difficult to achieve the ideal change.
The legendary experience of Shunzong Li Chan of the Tang Dynasty mentioned above is very emotional. In his 26-year career as a prince, he has experienced ups and downs and experienced the ups and downs of his family and country. This prince has the glory of his family, but he has also borne endless pressure and challenges.
Li Yu grew up in the shadow of the Anshi Rebellion and was named the crown prince by Li Shi, who had experienced the war. However, his path to the throne was not without its challenges. Under Dejong, the country was mired in political corruption and economic turmoil, and the political situation was further chaotic due to the secession of feudal towns and the growth of eunuchs. As the crown prince, Li Yu had to survive in this court full of deceit, facing all kinds of tests inside and outside the family.
During the Jingyuan Mutiny, Li Yu showed extraordinary courage and decisiveness. In the face of the rebellion, he was not afraid of the flames of war and led a small number of forbidden troops to protect his father, showing excellent leadership and courage. Even with the crown prince's strong position, he faced many tribulations, such as the "Celestial Princess Incident", which tested his wisdom and decisive decision-making.
Despite Li Yu's ambitions, Dezong's longevity made him wait a long 26 years for the crown prince. He constantly tried to seek reform and build up his power, but he encountered many challenges from reform. Eijeong's attempt at reform was ambitious, but it failed due to Shunjong's own poor health and divisions and corruption within the faction.
This history has taught people that in the long river of political struggle, even if they have brilliant ambitions and aspirations, they are inevitably constrained by the external environment and internal difficulties. Li Yi's story is legendary, and he is praised for his intelligence and courage, but he is also limited by the political situation and fails to achieve his ambitions.
In the end, the prince and emperor of the Tang Dynasty, despite the twists and turns, his story still left a deep thought for future generations. The gains and losses in the political struggle, the joys and sorrows under the power scheme, constitute the unique and wonderful part of this history, and also show the importance of power, ambition and limitations in the changes of human history.
