Tang Ruizong: He ascended the throne twice successfully, and the three major religions went to the world.
Speaking of the emperor who succeeded and abdicated twice in history, I'm afraid few people know that he is the fifth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Ruizong Li Dan.

Tang Ruizong Li Dan is the eighth and youngest son of Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, and the youngest of the four sons born to Wu Zetian. Zong Rui was born in Hanliang Hall of Penglai Palace in Chang 'an on June 1 2002, and was named Wang Yin on June1month 18 of the same year. Later, he was awarded the title of Prince, including Yu Wang, Ji Wang and Wang Xiang. Zong Rui was originally named Xu Lun, and later went to Xu Zi to be named Lun Lun. In the second year of Yonglong, when it was renamed, it was renamed Dan. Later his name was repeated several times between Karen and Dan. Interestingly, when he changed his name several times and changed it to Wheel, it was his bad luck. When you change your name, it's time for luck. History books say that he is modest, filial, studious, a worker, and especially loves to write exegesis books. Zong Rui was born with the title of prince, and then he became emperor twice. This experience can only be compared with that of his compatriot Emperor Zhongzong. However, as a member of the royal family in Li Tang, he was once an heir, once suggested to be the emperor's brother and father, but there was no second. Not only that, among all emperors, it is not unusual to have an emperor's father, but at the same time, it is rare to have a mother who was also an emperor. Both parents are emperors. In history, there are only two brothers, Zong Rui and Zhong Zong. What is even more unusual for Zong Rui is that his three brothers are crown princes, and the older two failed to inherit the throne; Among his own sons, the eldest son missed the throne, and finally Saburo succeeded to the throne, namely Xuanzong Li Longji. In the troubled autumn when the imperial clan was repeatedly killed, Zong Rui could always protect himself and die a fair death. In the words of the old Tang book Rui Zongji, since the early dynasty and the revolution, the royal family has changed frequently, and every time the emperor gave in respectfully, he was saved from disaster. This shows that Ming Zongrui really has something extraordinary.

Zong Rui ascended the throne twice in his life. The first time was on February 7th, the year after his death. He replaced his eldest brother as Yu Wang Li Dan, at the age of 22, just when he was enthroned. But his second reign was on June 24th, the first year of Jing Yun, the year after the death of Zhongzong. This time, he succeeded Shaodi, the son of Zhongzong, namely Li Zhongmao, king of Wen, as prime minister. The time between two enthronments was as long as 27 years. In these 27 years, the central political situation of the Tang Dynasty was full of twists and turns, which dazzled future generations. Zong Rui's life is legendary, not only because of his two enthronement, but also because of his three successes.

This is the second day after Wu Zetian abolished Emperor Zhongzong as the queen of Luling in Luoyang Palace, and his mother Zong Rui ascended the throne for the first time. As Wu Zetian's political management has not yet reached the stage of regime change, Li Dan, Wu Zetian's youngest son, was appointed as the new king. Zong Rui became the fifth emperor of the Tang Dynasty after Zhongzong. After the establishment of Zong Rui, not only could she not listen to politics in the main palace, but she could only live in another hall, and Wu Zetian became the Queen Mother. What she can do is to establish his princess, Queen Wei Liu, on the same day that he became the new king on February 7th. A few days later, her eldest son, Wang Chengqi, was appointed as the Crown Prince, and at the same time, she changed her civilization and granted amnesty to the world. Zong Rui deserved all this when he was emperor. However, at this time, all national political affairs were decided by Wu Zetian alone, and Zong Rui was actually a puppet emperor. In the same year, Wu Zetian changed her name to the bust of the Light Hall for three years a year. This seems to reveal that Zongrui's mother, Wu Zetian, can do whatever she wants politically except for not changing the dynasty. Subsequently, there were mutinies in Yangzhou and Xu Jingye, and imperial clan and Wang Zhen rose. On the one hand, Wu Zetian killed and intimidated political opponents; At the same time, I pretended to return to politics.

In the first month of the second year, she wrote a letter to Zong Rui to restore the government. Zong Rui knew that his mother didn't mean it, so he pretended to do it and resolutely disagreed. Wu Zetian also pushed the boat with the tide and still dominated the political affairs. Last spring, in the first month of the first month, Wu Zetian established several princes: for example, the eternal king, Longji the king of Chu, Long Fan Wang Wei and Long Ye the king of Zhao, which seemed to hold the emperor high. However, in fact, in the process of Wu Zetian stepping onto the political peak step by step, Emperor Zong Rui can only be a helpless bystander. In the first year of Yongchang, Wu Zetian began to use the weekly calendar. At the same time, it was changed to the first year of the year. This year, Wu Zetian began to use her new name _. Since then, in order to avoid taboo, the published letters have been renamed books. In order to cooperate with Wu Zetian's regime change, tens of thousands of people soon wrote to the table and asked Wu Zetian to implement regime change. At that time, the imperial clan ministers and the opposition of the imperial court were killed and extinct, and Wu Zetian's political management was unstoppable.

Zong Rui, who is at the center of the political wave, can't help but express something. Therefore, Liu, who stopped talking after his death, also asked his mother to be proud of Dabao and begged him to be named Wu. Zong Rui's move may not have been intended, but it brought the regime change of Wu Zetian to a higher level and made Zong Rui himself safe. In September of the first year of God-given, Wu Zetian agreed to the request of her son Zong Rui and ministers, and changed her surname to Tang Jianzhou on September 9th. He was demoted as a prince, given the surname Wu, and moved to the East Palace. His musical instrument is better than the crown prince's, but he is no longer given the crown prince's birthright. The heir to the throne is also the alternate heir to the throne. Li Dan's name was also changed to Wheel. The Crown Prince also became the grandson of the emperor, and the empress Liu Ye was reduced from a princess to a concubine.

Zong Rui let the world for the first time, that's all. As an heir, Zong Rui's life is not peaceful. For some unknown reason, Wu Zetian's favorite servant girl Wei Tuan took a fancy to this frustrated heir and wanted to have sex with him. Zong Rui knew his situation and how he would get burned, so he turned her down naturally. So she offended Tuaner. She secretly buried a wooden head in the residence of her concubine Liu He's princess, and then denounced them for their aversion to witchcraft and cursed Wu Zetian. So, on the second day of the first month of the second year of longevity, Liu and Dou entered the palace, appeared before Wu Zetian in Jiayu Hall and were executed. They were secretly buried in the palace, and no one knew their whereabouts. I don't know the secret of Zigong. After Zong Rui ascended the throne again, they were both buried by evocation. Zong Rui was afraid to ask about the sudden disappearance of two concubines. In front of his mother, he was as cool as a cucumber as if nothing had happened. Even so, it is reported that Ponzi, the mother of Zong Rui Doudefei, did something wrong, was sentenced to beheading and almost died. Xu Yougong, the censor who stepped forward to clear Ponzi's grievances, was hanged by the Arab Party on charges of rebellion. Although he was not killed in the end, he was also removed from office and removed from the list.

Second, in March of the first year of the holy calendar, Wu Zetian recalled Zhongzong, who was deposed as the king of Luling, from Fangling. Zong Rui said he was ill, so please make way for Zhongzong. Obviously, Zong Rui said that his illness was just an excuse. He thinks he is too young to compete politically with his brother. According to the order of seniority, the eldest brother is welcomed back to the palace, indicating that the mother still intends to choose the eldest brother as the heir. Tang Ruizong's concession not only showed his understanding and sense of well-being, but also enabled Wu Zetian to re-establish Tang Zhongzong in a justified way, and at the same time avoided the discord between the two brothers. As a result, Zong Rui gave way to his brother, this time he was the Crown Prince and heir, and he was appointed as Prime Minister again. In the first year of Shenlong, Zhang Jianzhi and others staged a coup, killing Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi brothers, forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate and establishing Zhongzong. Zhongzong was named King An, worshiped Qiu as prime minister, and participated in state affairs. In less than a month, he resigned from Qiu's post and learned politics. Because of his firm attitude, Zhongzong had to agree. Soon, Zhongzong made Zong Rui the emperor's brother, which was obviously related to his abdication as the heir to the throne. For this title, Zong Rui resolutely refused to give up. Because of Zong Rui's humility, he was safe and sound in the political whirlpool after the restoration of Zhongzong, despite repeated doubts.

Third, in June of the fourth year, let his son Jinglong be poisoned by Wei Ruyun and his daughter Princess Anle. The young emperor Li Zhongmao changed his name to Tang Long. At first, the "Letter of Zhong Zong", which was discussed collectively by more than a dozen prime ministers and written by Shangguan Waner, was made by Empress Wei as the Empress Dowager, while the Anguo King at that time was assisted by Qiu. Later, Wei Hou's henchmen thought that Wang Fuzheng should not be used. In fact, Hou Wei wants to emulate Wu Zetian and regard Zong Rui as a big obstacle. He was suspicious of Zong Rui because he was once the emperor and heir of the Tang Dynasty. Zong Rui has the legacy of Zhong Zong Gu Tuo. When Wei Hou deprived him of his auxiliary regime with selfishness, he never fought head-on, and as always, he bowed respectfully and scrimped to avoid being framed by Wei Hou, who had already dominated the state affairs. This means that Ming has superb skills that ordinary people do not have when avoiding the impact of the vortex of political struggle. Because of this abnormal behavior, Wei Hou finally came to the end of the road. Zong Rui's third son, Li Longji, and his sister, Princess Taiping, contacted the imperial generals and recruited soldiers into the palace. As a result, Wei Hou was killed, the little emperor Li Zhongmao was deposed and Zong Rui reigned. According to historical records, after the court coup was successful, the princes and ministers went to the table and thought that the country was in difficulty and should establish a long monarch. They thought Zong Rui was very popular and elected him to succeed to the throne. When Shodi abdicated, Zong Rui was still at the negotiating table. He reluctantly agreed under the strong demand of everyone. On June 24th, the first year of Tang Long, Zong Rui was located in Chengtian Gate House, which granted amnesty to the whole world. As the young emperor Li Zhongmao ascended the throne on June 7 and abdicated on June 24, it was less than a month before and after, and Wei Hou came to Korea during this period, and did not actually grasp the political power, so he was not an emperor in the genealogy of Tang Shi or historical chronology. The second month after Zong Rui acceded to the throne, he appointed Saburo Li Longji as the Crown Prince, responsible for Wei Yougong, and changed to Jing Yun. On August 25th, the first year of Yanhe River, Zong Rui, who had been in power for 26 months, gave way again and passed the throne to Prince Li Longji, claiming to be the emperor's father. At this point, Zong Rui's third abdication was also completed.

Looking at Zong Rui's three concessions to the world, when he let his mother, he should be in love; Second, let your brother, there is a reason; It's really helpless to let my son go. However, Rui Zongsan let the world go, and he was as comfortable as ever. Even Sima Guang commented that he was generous, respectful and easy, so he survived the world of martial arts and Wei and was free from trouble. However, it is not certain that Zong Rui is really easy to be released. It's just that he gave up a new monarch-Xuanzong, and the Tang Dynasty entered a generation of peace and prosperity during Xuanzong period, which was a great achievement. After all, the arrival of the flourishing age of Kaiyuan is a historical continuation after Zong Rui.
