Tang Zhongzong murder mystery Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, formerly known as Li Zhe, is the third son of Wu Zetian. Wu Housheng has four sons, the eldest son Li Hong, the second son Li Xian, the third son Li Zhe and the fourth son Li Dan. After his two brothers were deposed by Wu Zetian, Li Xian was made a prince. In 683, Emperor Gaozong died of illness in 65438+February, and he succeeded to the throne in the same month. The following year, the title was changed to Heisheng. Zhongzong is more incompetent than Gaozong. After he acceded to the throne, Wu Zetian was honored as the empress dowager. Pei Yan is supported by a testamentary edict, and politics depends on Wu Zetian. He made full use of Wei Ruyun's relatives and tried to form his own group. Pei Yan is anxious to have his father Wei as his assistant. Li Xian was furious: I can give the whole world to Wei Yuanzhen, but I can't. Do I have any extra servants? Upon hearing this, Pei Yan reported to Wu Zetian, who was greatly annoyed by the move of Emperor Zhong. In February 684, Emperor Zhongzong, who had been in power for only two months, was abolished by Wu Zetian and exiled to Chang 'an. He was placed under house arrest in Zhou Jun and Zhoufang in 14, accompanied by his concubine Webster, who lived alone and suffered from human sufferings. Whenever I heard that Wu Zetian sent an envoy, Zhongzong was scared to commit suicide. Webster always comforted him, saying: fortunes are impermanent, but it doesn't necessarily mean death, so why be so frightened. Webster's encouragement, help and encouragement made him persist in adversity. Therefore, as a couple in trouble, Zhongzong and Webster have deep feelings. He once swore to Webster: I will return to the throne one day, and I will certainly give you any wish. But he never dreamed that it was Webster who finally killed him.
In 699 AD, Zhongzong was recalled to Beijing by Wu Zetian and re-established as a prince. In 705, 82-year-old Wu Zetian was seriously ill. On the third day of the first month, Prime Minister Zhang Jian and General Li Duozuo of Right Feather Forest led more than 500 people to Xuanwu Gate and killed Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. Forcing Emperor Zetian to pass it on to Zhongzong. The year number was changed to Shenlong, and in February, the country was renamed Tang. Immediately after the restoration of Zhongzong, Webster was made queen, and despite the minister's dissuasion, Wei Ruyun's father was made king as an exception, and Wei Ruyun was allowed to participate in state affairs, but it did not bring honor to heroes like Zhang Jian.
Zhongzong married Princess Anle, the daughter of Wei Ruyun, to Wu Chongxun, the son of Wu Sansi.
Princess Anle of Tang Zhongzong. Epigenetic Wei, nicknamed Bao. Marry Wu Chongxun first, and then marry Wu Yanxiu. In the first year of Jing Yun, he collaborated with Wei Hou and others to poison Zhongzong, and was soon killed in a palace coup.
Tang Zhongzong Li has eight daughters, and Li Guoer is the eldest. After Zhongzong was abolished, Webster was born on his way to Zhou Fang with Webster. Because of the embarrassing situation at that time, I took off my clothes in a hurry and made a baby, so I named it Bao Er. When Li Guoer was a teenager, she was graceful and beautiful. Both Zhongzong and Webster loved her very much, and let her listen to her own wishes from an early age, so Princess Anle developed an arrogant and willful temper from an early age. After Zhongzong was recalled to the East Palace, Wu Zetian met Li Guoer and especially appreciated her beauty and wisdom, so she was named Princess Anle.
Wu Chongxun, the son of Wu Sansi, is one year older than Princess Anle and often goes in and out of the palace. Wu Chongxun often steals flowers from the palace and does many romantic things with the ladies-in-waiting. So, there was a rumour outside that Wu Chongxun's ancestor aunt had reached Wu Zetian's ears. She thought it was immoral, so she assigned Princess Anle to Wu Chongxun to quell the rumor. When you are getting married, show your official position and everyone will congratulate you. Prime ministers include Li Qiao, Su Weidao, Lang Guanshen and Song. They all presented poems and songs. In fact, Princess Anle and Wu Chongxun have hooked up in the dark. Within half a year after marriage, Princess Anle gave birth to a baby boy.
Shortly after Wu Zetian's death, Tang Zhongzong was reset, and Princess Anle gradually became arrogant and her power invaded the world. Because Zhongzong was abandoned in Zhoufang for a long time, Wei Hou shared the trouble with him. When Zhongzong was in Zhou Fang, he said to her: Once you see the light of day, you will never be jealous again. Therefore, after the restoration, Zhongzong indulged Wei Hou very much. Webster followed the example of Wu Zetian, and when Zhongzong looked at the court, he also sat on the left side of the throne through the curtain. Huan advised Zhongzong that it is harmful to cure chickens in the morning. Please stay in the palace and don't anticipate foreign affairs. Zhongzong ignored it.
Wu Chongxun's younger brother, Wu Yanxiu, has been in Turkey for several years. He is familiar with Fan Yu and Hu Dance, and he is young and handsome. He often goes to Ma Xu's house to chat. Princess Anle and Wu Yanxiu are not shy. They often talk and laugh together. Wu Yanxiu saw that Princess Anle was very beautiful, so he dedicated himself to her. Princess Anle saw that he was mighty and handsome, and she was also courting and flattering, and she couldn't help it. They cheated on each other and flirted in the house all day. Only Wu Chongxun didn't know about it.
Li Zhongjun, Prince Zhongzong, was not born to Webster. He was often rejected by Wei Hou, bullied by Princess Taiping, and teased by Wu Sansi, but he had no power but to submit to humiliation and secretly accumulate strength. Wu Chongxun instigated Princess Anle to ask Zhongzong to abolish the Prince. Li Zhongjun is very unfair. In three years, Shenlong launched a part of feather army to kill Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun, and sought to punish Wei Hou and Princess Anle. Li Zhongjun was killed because the following feather army defected and the coup failed.
Wu Chongxun was killed in the rebellion in Li Zhongjun, so Princess Anle was very happy to talk with Wu Yanxiu. Wu Yanxiu suddenly entrusted herself to the princess. Naturally, she tried her best to immerse herself in the gentle village. Gradually, the two became blatant, openly sharing a bed with the couple. When Zhongzong heard about it, he simply betrothed Princess Anle to Wu Yanxiu. When Webster saw the charming teenager in Wu Yanxiu, he couldn't help burning with desire. Later, he forced Wu Yanxiu to sleep, and the mother and daughter were happy.
Princess Anle and Princess Changning, another daughter of Zhongzong, competed with each other to build a large-scale house and compared each other in terms of luxury and luxury of decoration. They not only completely imitated the palace in terms of building scale, but even surpassed it in terms of exquisiteness. Zhongzong gave Princess Anle a house in Fang Jincheng, which was extremely gorgeous and the treasury was empty. There is a Kunming pool in Chang 'an, which was excavated in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Princess Anle often thinks of the scenery of Chi Pan in Kunming when she is married outside the palace. So she took advantage of Zhongzong's favor and asked for the Kunming Pool to be awarded to her, and put it in Ma Xu's garden. Zhongzong refused to say: Kunming Pool has never been given to anyone since the previous generation, so it can't go against the precedent of its ancestors. Besides, pond fish sells well every year, and the pollen in the palace depends on it. If I give you this pool today, it will make the concubines lose color.
Princess Anle was very depressed, so she seized private land and dug a big pool, named Dingkun Pool, which vaguely means more than Kunming Pool. The scenery of flowers and trees by the pool is the same as that of Kunming pool. A Huashan-like stone mountain was piled up in the middle of the pool, and the waterfall flew down from the top of the mountain and poured into the pool water. Another Qingxi, with a jade bank, fragrant flowers and plants on both sides and coral gems at the bottom, is particularly clear in the moonlight. Feige cornices, skew bridges, splendid clothes, paintings by painters, decorations by gold and silver, and jade by jade. On the day of completion, the garden was brightly lit. At night, the lights on the trees shine like stars in the sky. Many pavilions were built along the pond, and many fishermen and hunters were recruited to live there. The princess herself dressed as a fisherman and hunter, fishing in the pond or hunting in the mountains.
Princess Anle, a skillful craftsman in the world, made a treasure incense burner at the Buddhist Temple in Zhao Cheng, Luozhou. The furnace is three feet high, with four doors and four small bridges. It is carved with flowers and birds, heaven, geisha music, unicorn, couple and white crane. The furnace body is embedded with pearls, agates, corals, precious stones, chariots and wands, which cost 30 thousand yuan and is one of the treasures stored in the national treasury over the years. She has two hundred-bird skirts, which is a rare treasure. The bird skirt is made from square and woven from bird feathers. The color of this skirt is dazzling. I don't know its true color. It is one color from the front, another color from the side, another color in the sun and another color in the shadow. There are hundreds of birds shining on the skirt. Later, Yizhou introduced the monofilament Robbie cage skirt. Gold thread is a flower and bird, as thin as silk hair and as big as millet. It's amazing. It's incredible.
Princess Anle is in charge of the government and officials. She marked the titles of state officials, including several county decrees and several secretariat, with different prices, publicly peddled them and paid the full price. Whether it's a butcher, a restaurant, or someone who works as a maid for others, as long as they pay 300 thousand, they are awarded official titles by the princess. At that time, five or six thousand people were awarded official positions. Princess Anle often writes her own letters and takes them to the palace. She covered the words on the imperial edict with one hand, but grabbed Zhongzong's hand with the other hand and signed it. Zhongzong loves his daughter so much that he signed it without reading anything. Therefore, there are more officials below the prime minister. There are often local tyrants and rotten sticks, and they have gone through the road of Princess Anle. Suddenly the imperial edict came down and worshipped the senior officials. Not only does the official department yamen not know, but Zhongzong is also puzzling.
Princess Anle grew up beside Wu Zetian and admired Wu Zetian's arbitrariness in the outline, so she was whimsical to be the emperor's wife. Zhongzong caressed the princess's neck and joked that it was not too late to let you be the emperor's wife when your mother became a female emperor. Princess Anle secretly encourages Webster to imitate Wu Zetian every day. Wei Hou began to act arbitrarily because of the infirmity of Zhongzong, and his arrogance was increasing day by day. But Zhongzong hid in the palace all day, looking for some beautiful ladies to tease and entertain himself. All military affairs are presided over by Wei Hou alone.
One day, Princess Anle had a whim, remembering that Xie Lingyun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty really needed the five beards of the Buddha statue in the Nihuan Temple in the South China Sea, so she sent the Huangmen official to cut the beards together, but the monks did not dare to stop him. At that time, Xie Lingyun's beard was beautiful and he cherished it. Every night when he goes to bed, he puts it in a gauze bag. Later, when Xie Lingyun was killed and executed, he took the initiative to cut off his moustache and gave it to the monks of Nihuan Temple to carve Buddha statues. The monks in that temple proudly show the Buddha's beard to others whenever they see someone coming happily. Now, seeing Princess Anle cut off the Buddha's beard together, their hearts are extremely painful. On the Dragon Boat Festival, all the princesses and concubines gathered in Kunming Pool for a feast and weeding. While the battle was busy, Princess Anle suddenly took out the real needs of Xie Lingyun, and everyone was surprised.
Princess Anle's son is only 8 years old. One day, Wei Hou held the child in his lap and laid hands on him to worship 500 families in Tai Changqing, Gao Guogong and the food city.
Seeing that Queen Wei had given the order on her own initiative, Zhongzong stopped Queen Wei's hand and said, Wait a minute! When I return to the palace, I will do it again. Hearing this, Wei Hou said coldly, what do you care? Didn't your majesty say that he would listen to my concubine in the future when he was in Zhou Fang? Why interfere now? The more impatient he felt, he didn't say a word, sent a message and drove back to the palace. Queen Wei had long ignored Zhongzong, and when she saw that Zhongzong had returned to the palace in anger, she was not afraid, and she was drinking and having fun at Princess Anle's house until late at night.
Soon, Xu Zhou joined the army, and Yan Qinrong said: The queen was promiscuous, interfered in state affairs, Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu, Zong Chuke and so on. Collusion with friends and countries should be severely punished to prevent accidents. Zhongzong called Yan Qinrong for questioning. Yan Qin Rong banged loudly with his head and looked unyielding, while Tang Zhongzong kept silent. As soon as Yan Qinrong stepped out of the palace gate, Wei Hou's subordinate Zong Chuke ordered the knight to take him back with chains, throw him on the stone in the palace, wring his neck, and was immediately killed. Emperor Zhongzong was quite angry. When he was instigated by Zongchuk to inquire about this matter, he could not help but bitterly say to the knights, you only know Zongchuk, but you don't know about me? When Zong Chuke heard that the emperor was going to kill himself, he was very afraid and reasoned. He went into the palace and told Emperor Webster that he had changed his mind. Webster's is still worried about the last incident of Zhongzong's anger, and he had an affair with Ma and Ma, fearing that it would be exposed and lead to great disaster. Princess Anle hoped that Wei Hou could be the emperor's wife in the court, so mother and daughter joined hands to plan to poison Zhongzong. Webster made his own cake and put poison in the filling. When steaming cakes, I heard that Zhongzong was checking the memorial in the Dragon Palace, so I asked the maid-in-waiting to bring the cakes to Zhongzong.
Zhongzong loves cakes and reaches for them. He ate eight or nine pieces in a row and said the cake was delicious. Unexpectedly, after a while, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and fell on the sofa. In waits an emergency report to Wei Hou, Wei Hou slowly walked into the temple, pretending to be surprised and asked. Zhongzong couldn't speak, but pointed to his mouth and dragged on for a long time. His body can't move, and as soon as his eyes turn, he goes to another world.
He listened to the imperial court's will and appointed Wei's son as the commander-in-chief of the northern and southern loyalists. Zong Chuke and Wei people advised Wei to follow the story of Wu Zetian and get rid of Prime Minister Li Dan. Who knows that Li Dan's third son has taken the lead and led the rebels into Xuanwu Gate at night, destroying the palace and killing all the people surnamed Wei. Wei Hou fled to Qi Fei barracks in horror, and a Qi Fei soldier beheaded Wei Hou and presented his head to Li Longji. Princess Anle lives in another hospital, but she doesn't know what's going on outside. She stroked her eyebrows in the mirror, accompanied by a beautiful young man. Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me, and I was about to turn around. Suddenly, I felt a sudden pain in my neck, and I cried miserably, and I fell to the ground and died.
According to Taiping Guang Ji: the Year of the Loong, Tang Jing, Princess Anle built the anrakuji in Luozhou Square, which cost millions of dollars. The nursery rhyme says,' poor anrakuji, hang it in a tree.' After the punishment, he betrayed Wei, killed Anle, hung his head on a pole, and then betrayed him. The so-called omen is not credible, but Princess Anle's ending is really caused by her own indiscretion.
Li Xian, a martyr of imperial power who was poisoned by his wife and children, had a miserable life. Because he played chess in other people's hands from birth to death. From birth to death, his fate was held by two women. Under the aura of his mother Wu Zetian, he basically had no chance of independence; Finally, he was freed, manipulated by Wei Hou and his daughter, and even killed. Although he proclaimed himself emperor twice and for several years, there are only a handful of things that really have the final say. When he was poisoned by food sent by his favorite wife and children, I wonder if he ever thought: Which is luckier to call himself emperor?
