After the death of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Howie put the very young Li Zhongmao on the throne. Empress Wei, who is very scheming, attempts to regain the power of state affairs and become Wu Zetian. But I didn't expect that Wei Hou didn't realize his grand ideal, but was killed after Li Zhongmao ascended the throne.

At the funeral of the late emperor, Wei Hou lambasted the late emperor, thinking that he could monopolize power in the future. Unexpectedly, Princess Taiping and Li Longji secretly planned. On that day, Li Longji killed Wei Hou. From then on, Li Zhongmao had no backer, so he had to obey others.

On the night of Wei Hou's murder, Princess Taiping went to see Li Zhongmao in the middle of the night, forcing him to abdicate, letting him make an imperial edict and let his brother Li Dan take the upper position. Isolated and timid, the little emperor can only follow the instructions of Princess Taiping.

Li Zhongmao abdicated the throne to others only 18 days after he ascended the throne. Finally, he abdicated and became King Wen. He returned to his fief and spent the rest of his life.

After the coup, Li Zhongmao and his uncle Anguo Wang Xiang Li Dan boarded the tower and said, "The artifact watched by Wei Ruyun has been destroyed. Don't panic the people. " In order to appease the people, the city was ordered to be exempted from half of the annual tax. But politically sensitive people at that time thought it was wrong. Why does the emperor love the people and the king follows?

A few days later, at the instigation of Princess Taiping, Li Zhongmao wrote a letter to her uncle Li Dan. Li Dan insisted because he did nothing in the coup and was embarrassed. The coup took turns to persuade Li Dan, who agreed to be emperor.

Chen Jia Dai was kidnapped by Princess Taiping, and Li Zhongmao went to court. Because Li Xian, the son of Zhongzong, has just died, and during the national mourning, the emperor's throne is in the east, facing east and west. To the west is Zigong of Li Xian, the emperor of China, and next to him is Li Dan, the king of Xiang. The leader of the ministers is Princess Taiping.

As soon as Princess Taiping saw the ministers in their positions, she said, "The country is uneasy. The emperor wants to transfer Li Dan to the throne in order to stabilize the country." Liu Youqiu, the great adviser of Tang Long's political revolution, also took out the imperial edict that had been written for a long time and read it out in due course. Li Zhongmao knew that his throne was in jeopardy, but he didn't expect to come so soon, so he was at a loss.

In this way, an embarrassing situation was formed. After the letter of succession was read out, the new emperor was waiting to take over, but Li Zhongmao stood still. Princess Taiping immediately came to the throne in three steps and two steps, and said to him, "Everyone has turned to Wang Xiang, son, this position is not yours!" " Said, grabbed the collar, threw it aside, walked to the front of the coffin, took Li Dan's hand and took the throne, and went down to lead the ministers to shout long live.

In this way, he was deposed as emperor and renamed King Wen. Jing Yun was renamed Xiang Wang in the second year (7 1 1).
