, which may have prompted him to form a determined character. When he was a child, he was very ambitious. He called himself "Auntie" in the palace. Although he was not valued by the ruling Wu clan, his words and deeds were still very opinionated. When he was seven years old, a sacrificial ceremony was held in the imperial court. At that time, General Jin Wu (the general in charge of the guards in Beijing) Wu Yizong loudly reprimanded the attendants and guards. Li Longji immediately glared and shouted, "This is the imperial court of the Li family. What do you care?" ! How dare you reprimand my knight guard like this! " Wu Yizong looked at the child dumbfounded. When Wu Zetian learned that, instead of blaming Li Longji, she took a liking to Xiao Zhigao's grandson this year. In the second year, Li Longji was named King of Linzi County.

After the death of grandma Wu Zetian, Zhongzong was weak and incompetent. As a result, the power of political affairs fell to Queen Wei and Princess Anle, and Zhang Jianzhi, the original hero and prime minister who staged a coup to restore the Tang Dynasty, was demoted and expelled by them, and Prince Li Zhongjun was killed. Empress Wei followed the example of Empress Wu Zetian, letting her elder brother Wei Wen hold the power, and did not stop her daughter Princess Anle from illegally selling officials and titles, but indulged her greatly. In 71 AD,

Li Longji's inscription

[1] Zhongzong finally died at the hands of Queen Wei and Princess Anle, who conspired to poison him. Then, Queen Wei wanted to learn from her mother-in-law Wu Zetian and be the second queen. Without waiting for Queen Wei to start work, Li Longji (Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty) and his aunt Princess Taiping first launched a mutiny, led more than 1, body-guards to capture the palace and wiped out all Queen Wei's faction. Then, Li Dan ascended the throne again by Ruizong, and Li Longji was also made a prince for his work. But his father Li Dan, like Zhongzong, was a weak emperor, unwilling to have a direct conflict with Princess Taiping and always forbearing. Princess Taiping, on the other hand, thought that she had given him the opportunity to be emperor, which made great contributions, so she mastered the power of state affairs. With the strength of her own power, Princess Taiping's ambition has also expanded, and she wants to be a queen like her mother. Princess Taiping's main rival is Prince Li Longji. At first, she didn't take him seriously, thinking that he was still young, but after learning about Li Longji's bravery and determination, she began to guard against him. She created public opinion that Li Longji is not the eldest son, and he is not qualified to be a prince, let alone inherit the throne. Princess Taiping's purpose is to abolish Li Longji's status as a prince and pave the way for herself to be a female emperor in the future. By 712 AD, Rui Zong was afraid that if this continued, Li Tang would be in chaos again, so he resolutely gave the throne to his son Li Longji. However, he still mastered the power of state affairs: the appointment and dismissal of officials with three or more titles in the imperial court and the decision-making power of military and political affairs. The abdication of Ruizong aggravated the contradiction between Li Longji and Princess Taiping. Both sides are gathering strength to get rid of each other. On July 3, 713 AD, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, decisively laid hands on him first, personally led the military forces to get rid of Princess Taiping and dozens of her key people, and deposed all the officials who tended to Princess Taiping. Tang Xuanzong finally mastered the power that the emperor should have. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty changed his title to Kaiyuan, which showed his determination to make great efforts to create great achievements in the Tang Dynasty. /view/5176.htm
