Yang Guang, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, actively promoted reform and construction during his reign, but was controversial because of his iron-fisted rule and style. After his death, the queen's fate also changed.
Wang, Yang Guang's empress, had an important position during his reign. However, with the death of Yang Guang, Wang's life changed dramatically. According to historical records, after Yang Guang's death, the Wang clan was captured by the prince Li Longji.
At the time of Yang Guang's death, there was turmoil inside and outside the imperial court, and the struggle for power became increasingly fierce, and Wang, as the empress, naturally became the focus of contention. Li Longji, Yang Guang's son, moved quickly after his father's death to try to stabilize the political situation and consolidate his position, so he put Yang Guang's empress, Wang, under house arrest in his own hands.
Mr. Lee's actions were not just aimed at eliminating possible political threats, but also at gaining a symbol of power and legitimacy. By placing Yang Guang's empress under house arrest, he showed the outside world his ability to control the overall situation, while also consolidating his political position.
Although this political method may seem cruel, it was one of the common methods in the political struggle at that time. However, Li Longji was not blindly cruel to Yang Guang's empress.
After ensuring political stability, he showed a certain amount of benevolence to Wang. Although Wang was placed under house arrest, he was not excessively ill-treated, but was placed in a relatively comfortable living environment.
This is also politically motivated to avoid sparking wider discontent and revolt.
Empress Yang Guang faded from the political scene under house arrest and became a symbol of power and glory. By treating her, Li Longji tried to maintain the legitimacy of the regime and stabilize the situation.
She spent the rest of her life under Li Longji's rule, and although she did not return to the political scene, her fate reflected the complexity and brutality of the political situation at the time. History is constantly changing, and every emperor and empress has become a part of history, and their experiences have left a deep mark on the long river of time.
