The identity of the crown prince, who inherits the blood of the emperor, has been not only an honor since ancient times, but also a hidden risk and risk. Although becoming a crown prince is usually a sign of a legitimate succession to the throne, there have been many times in history when princes have been caught in various dangers. For example, the crown prince Liu Ju, who was canonized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, finally chose to commit suicide because of the framing of ** Chen Jiangchong. The identity of the crown prince often led to the rebellion of brothers, and Tang Taizong got rid of the prince Li Jiancheng through the Xuanwumen Change, so that he was able to successfully inherit the throne.
The crown prince had to wait for the death of the emperor before he could officially ascend the throne, and the wait was often long, decades. Today, we look back at the five longest-waiting princes in ancient times to see if they can finally make it to the throne.
The fifth prince who waited the longest was Zhu Biao, the crown prince canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who reigned for twenty-five years. Zhu Biao is the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma, and was made a prince as early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was still King of Wu, and was personally trained by his father. However, after waiting for 25 years as a prince, Zhu Biao died of illness and failed to succeed to the throne, which is regrettable.
The fourth prince who waited the longest was Li Yu, the crown prince canonized by Tang Dezong, who reigned for 26 years and finally succeeded in ascending the throne as Tang Shunzong. During his twenty-six years of waiting to ascend the throne, Li Yu endured many trials and tribulations before becoming a successful emperor.
These stories of the prince tell us that although the identity of the prince is full of **, it is also accompanied by risks and challenges. Their long wait and the pressure of succession made this glory very complicated, and successfully succeeding to the throne was not an easy task.
In general, the identity of the prince, as the successor of feudal society, is full of both ** and danger. The stories of these princes give us a deeper understanding of ancient political struggles and family strife, and also prompt us to reflect on the relationship between power and responsibility. Contemporary people can draw wisdom from these historical stories and look at the meaning of power and status more rationally.
