One night in the first year of Tang Long, Li Longji staged a coup d'état, and the henchmen of Wei and Wu were washed in blood, and the balance of power fell in his favor. Historical records and epitaphs have portrayed him as a hero who is forced to resist, a warrior who defends himself and fights back, rather than a person who takes the initiative to attack.
His only reason is: Empress Wei tried to change the dynasty, he was just protecting himself, protecting the society and the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The details of history are indeed difficult to deduce. The time of Zhongzong Li Xian's violent collapse and the time of Li Longji's coup d'état seem to be far apart, but in fact there were only 17 days apart.
In such a short period of time, can Li Longji really complete all the preparations for the coup, including contacting all forces, and making them believe in a person who only has the status of a county king in such a short period of time, and take the risk of revolting against the nine clans?
These questions lead us to new thinking: Li Xian was still alive when Li Longji was preparing for the coup, and his actions were clearly intended to rebel. So, who is his biggest obstacle? There is no doubt that it is Li Xian! Only when Li Xian dies can Li Longji have a chance to succeed.
So, how did Li Xian die? What does his death have to do with Li Longji?
Many doubts in history seem to be logical, fair, and righteous, but in fact? It is nothing but the exclusive compilation of the victors, and it is nothing more than an illusion of intrigue and intrigue. Li Longji's story has many inspirations for future generations: if there are no conditions, create conditions; Strike first!
The Tang Long Coup was an important event in the history of the Tang Dynasty, initiated by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. The main reason for the incident was Empress Wei's attempt to overthrow the Tang dynasty.
After the death of the crown prince Li Heng and the accession to the throne of Tang Xuanzong, Empress Wei took control of the imperial court through his son-in-law Yang Guozhong, seriously threatening Tang Xuanzong's right to inherit the throne. The mediocrity of Empress Wei and Yang Guozhong made life difficult for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the country's strength gradually declined.
In order to protect his right to inherit the throne and save the country from the crisis, Tang Xuanzong decided to launch the Tang Long coup. The coup succeeded in weakening the power of Wei and Yang and securing the throne of Tang Xuanzong.
Mr. Li's coup d'état was often seen as an act of justice aimed at self-preservation and the salvation of the Tang dynasty. In fact, his coup d'état did not cause social unrest and large-scale sacrifices, but stabilized the political situation and alleviated the multiple crises faced by Datang.
Under his governance, Datang's economy has been significantly improved, people's lives have been improved, and the economy has been guaranteed. Li Longji's coup d'état was not motivated by a personal desire for power, but out of responsibility to the country and the people.
His actions allowed the Tang Dynasty to prosper and stabilize, and as such he was praised as just and necessary.
In the long course of history, Li Longji's preparations for a coup d'état may have begun long before Li Xian's death. Historical records show that Li Longji actively sought supporters within the imperial court and gradually expanded his influence.
He strategically builds alliances with powerful ** to prepare for possible future power struggles. Li Longji also actively absorbed military knowledge and experience to enhance his military leadership ability. Li Xian was an important figure in the imperial court, but it can be seen from Li Longji's steady preparations that his coup strategy may have been formed long before Li Xian's death.
This demonstrates Li Longji's political wisdom and also reveals the complex power struggles of the Tang court.
Li Xian, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and Li Longji's cousin, made great achievements. His death is not recorded in detail in history, except that he died of a sudden illness.
Based on the circumstances of his death and the political environment at the time, we speculate that his death may have been related to Li Longji's coup plan. Especially after his death, Li Longji quickly stabilized the government and successfully usurped the throne, which seems to confirm our speculation.
There is no clear record in history, but from various indications, there may be a connection between Li Xian's death and Li Longji's coup plan. However, this is only speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence.
As researchers of history, we should remain rational and rigorously analyze and analyze historical facts.
