The first prince of Tang Xuanzong, named Li Ying, was born when Li Longji was serving as a driver in Luzhou. At that time, it was a critical moment for Li Longji to overthrow Empress Wei and accumulate political power. However, love quietly came at this tense moment.
One day, a "musician" named Zhao Yuanli appeared at Li Longji's banquet with his daughter. This woman is beautiful and singing and dancing, which makes Li Longji unforgettable. She was the later Concubine Zhao Li, who quickly gave birth to the crown prince Li Ying for Li Longji.
Due to her deep love for Concubine Zhao Li, coupled with the queen's inability to have children, Li Ying was made the crown prince in the second year of Kaiyuan. However, love comes in a hurry, and it leaves just as quickly. Xuanzong soon favored Concubine Wu Hui again, and Concubine Zhao Li disappeared in her dismal death.
The crown prince Li Ying, who lost the protection of his mother, is like a disoriented deer and has become the target of everyone. Among them, the most promising is Li Mao, the king of longevity, because his mother is the much-loved concubine Wu Hui, and with the support of Prime Minister Li Linfu, the competition for the crown prince is about to break out.
The first confrontation took place in the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan. The crown prince Li Ying lost the protection of his mother, but got two good brothers, Li Yao, the king of Hubei and Li Ju, the king of light. The three of them shared the same illness and were not cared for by the emperor for a long time because their mother was not favored.
The bitter trio became confidants, often drinking and talking together, and occasionally complaining. However, what they didn't know was that one of the good sons-in-law conveyed the complaints of the crown prince and the two princes to his mother-in-law, Concubine Wu Hui, and duly rendered them.
Concubine Wu Hui cried to Xuanzong because of this, claiming that the prince had formed a party to rebel, not only wanted to kill her and King Shou, but also said that His Majesty was unfair to their mother. Xuanzong was furious and wanted to abolish the crown prince, the king of E, and the king of light.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister at the time, stood up and argued on the basis of reason, reminding Prince Xuanzong that he was the foundation of the country, citing the historical lessons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wen of Sui. Zhang Jiuling's persistence moved Xuanzong, and finally gave up the idea of abolishing the prince.
However, Zhang Jiuling did not succeed for long. Soon after, he was branded as a party and replaced by Li Linfu. Under the attack of Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu, the crown prince Li Ying received secret news that there were thieves in the palace, and asked him to "enter the palace in armor" with King E and King Guang.
Li Ying believed that it was true, but Xuanzong was reminded by Concubine Wu Hui to capture all the three princes who came "in armor". It's a clever strategy, but it's not logical. How could the prince be so gullible and put it into practice?Some historians even doubt whether the crown prince would have actually adopted the risky move of "entering the palace in armor".
It can be seen that the reason why Xuanzong believes that the prince is rebelling is more willing to believe than logical evidence.
The crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju were soon given to death in the east post of Chang'an City. Ouyang Xiu, editor of the "New Tang Dynasty Book", commented on this: "The Ming Emperor killed three people in one day, and he was very faint. ”
The crown prince Li Ying fell under the double blows of Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu, but why did Li Mao, the king of Shou supported by Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu, not become the crown prince?
One of the reasons is that Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou ruined their image on **, because after the three princes were given death, ** generally believed that "the world is wronged", which put King Shou in a predicament.
Another problem is that Concubine Wu Hui had psychological problems after the death of the crown prince. She claimed that every night she could feel that the three princes were looking for her life, causing her to stay awake at night. This mental illness became more serious half a year after Li Ying was given death, which eventually led to the death of Concubine Wu Hui.
This was a blow to Shouwang Li Mao, who had lost a powerful mother. And the reason why the crown prince Li Ying was alienated was because his mother Zhao Lifei fell out of favor and died.
Li Linfu also realized the new problem. Whether Shouwang Li Mao will become the second prince is not sure in his heart. Concubine Wu Hui has passed away, is it still necessary for him to support King Shou unconditionally?
Like a shrewd businessman, Li Linfu constantly weighs the pros and cons. In the end, he chose to give up supporting Shouwang. He successfully squeezed out Zhang Jiuling and became the new Zhongshu Ling, and the help of Concubine Wu Hui was the key to his success.
However, with the death of Concubine Wu Hui, Li Linfu's support for King Shou changed. He began to pay attention to Tang Xuanzong's attitude, because in the matter of the crown prince, he knew that Tang Xuanzong's attitude was very important.
At this time, Tang Xuanzong was hesitating to establish a prince. Colliers watched coldly and suggested: "Who would dare to have objections if they stand tall and long?"The "long" here does not refer to the eldest son, but to the younger brother of the crown prince Li Ying, who later became Li Heng.
Since Tang Xuanzong had already made a decision, Li Linfu no longer insisted. So, in June of the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, Li Heng was made the crown prince.
Shouwang Li Mao has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament, and is deeply loved by Tang Xuanzong. However, unlike Li Longji, Shouwang lacks masculinity and does not have Li Longji's hard work.
In fact, he may not have the intention of seizing the crown prince, at least there is no historical record of his participation in the social activities of deposing the crown prince. He is more like a person who is being pushed, others push him to take two steps, and when others stop, he stops. This is a kind of sorrow for the heavenly family.
It is even more regrettable that it will not be long before his wife will be taken away by someone else. This is a story of conspiracy that is destined to end in tragedy.
