In ancient times, the imperial throne was the pinnacle of power, and every emperor held great power for fear of being taken away by ministers or princes. This road is full of blood, and unjust killings and family cannibalism are not uncommon. However, there was an emperor in the Tang Dynasty who was very different from the others - he gave up the throne three times, creating a good story of "three let the world"!This is Tang Ruizong Li Dan.
He is the youngest son of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, and he is humble, not like his brother who is sharp, nor like other brothers who are cowardly. He was introverted and wise, served his mother Wu Zetian with filial piety, and maintained his position in the political chaos.
After the death of Gaozong, his mother Wu Zetian became regent. Li Xian was dissatisfied with this and tried to regain power, but was deposed as the king of Luling by his mother. Li Dan was lucky to ascend the throne and became the new ruler of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, he was under house arrest in the deep palace, with no power or power.
Wu Zetian finally seized real power, deposed Li Dan, and ascended the throne as emperor himself. This is Li Dan's "one let the world", giving the world to his mother Wu Zetian.
Although Wu Zetian called the emperor and named him the "imperial heir", she finally chose to give up the throne to her nephew, and instead decided to give way to the Li Tang royal family. However, she did not choose to make Li Dan the crown prince, but chose Li Xian. This is Li Dan's "two let the world".
Taking advantage of Wu Zetian's serious illness, Zhang Cambodia and others launched a Shenlong coup d'état, forcing her to abdicate and return the throne to Li Tang. Although Li Xian was reinstated, Empress Wei and the others did not dare to act rashly against Li Dan and Princess Taiping, and the three parties maintained a balance.
After Li Xian's death, Li Dan ascended the throne again, but the two forces in the DPRK and China fought endlessly, and he was tired of being a peacemaker among them, so he took the initiative to give way to Li Longji, that is, Tang Xuanzong. Li Longji promoted the heyday of the Tang Dynasty and pushed it to the top.
This Li Dan, for the sake of national interests, maintained his sanity in the bloody political struggle and created a legend of "three lets of the world". His temple name is Ruizong, which is quite appropriate.
