Why didn t Li Xian pass on the throne to his son?

Hello! Li Xian.

There were four sons, but all four sons died one after another for various reasons.

1.The eldest son, Li Chongrun: that is, "Prince Yide". Born in 683, his original name was Li Chongzhao, and he was a martial artist.

Zhen, changed his name to Li Chongrun, and his biological mother was Queen Wei. In 701, he was killed by Wu Zetian at the age of 19. In 706, Li Xian ascended the throne again, posthumously named Prince Yide, and was buried in the Qianling Tomb, and the tomb was a mausoleum.

2.The second son, Li Chongfu: Shuren. The biological mother is a certain clan in the harem, the first king of Tangchang, and the king of Chen in 705. In 710, Li Chongfu rebelled, was defeated, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the canal at the age of 31.

3.The third son, Li Chongjun: that is, the "Prince of Jieshu".

The biological mother is a certain clan in the harem, the first king of Yixing County, the king of Wei in 705, and the crown prince in 706. In July 707, Li Chongjun led Li Duozuo, the general of Zuo Yulin, to rebel, and failed to attack the imperial palace and rushed to Nanshan to be killed by his subordinates. Tang Ruizong.

ascended the throne, posthumously crowned as the prince of Jieshu, and was buried in Dingling.

4.The fourth son, Li Chongmao.

That is, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It's also a son.,The biological mother is a certain family in the harem.。 At the beginning, he was the king of Wen. In May 710, he was made crown prince. He ascended the throne 3 days later, changed his name to "Tang Long", was 16 years old at the time, and was known as Emperor Tang in history. In June, Li Longji.

Launched the Tang Long coup d'état and supported Tang Ruizong Li Dan.

Reset the throne, deposed Li Chongmao, restored his title of King Wen, and was imprisoned in Jizhou and Fangzhou successively. In 714, Li Chongmao died of excessive depression at the age of 20.

Li Xian did not pass on his son for many reasons.

It's not clear all of a sudden, you can go and take a look at the history books of the Tang Dynasty.

The question you are talking about is completely inconsistent with the facts! After Li Xian's death, he was succeeded by his youngest son, Li Chongmao. [Although his death and the succession process of Li Chongmao were not natural].

If you're asking about being scrapped for the first time.

First, it was his mother Wu Zetian who abolished him, and he didn't have a choice; Both, at this time, his son is no more than 4 years old, how to pass it on?

Do you mean Li Xian before Wu Zetian became emperor or after he became emperor?

It's all because of Mei Niang, she has a classification.

In May 710, Tang Zhongzong was poisoned by Empress Wei and his daughter Princess Anle.

In June of the same year, Li Longji, the king of Linzi, launched the Yulin Army to attack the palace and kill Empress Wei and Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Yanxiu, etc. Together with Princess Taiping, he supported the restoration of Ruizong, deposed the emperor Li Chongmao, and changed the name of the year to "Jingyun". Ruizong resets. This is Li Dan's second ascension to the throne.

After Li Xian's death, Li Dan was reinstated.

Tang Zhongzong and the Shengzhaoxiao Emperor Li Xian gave way to his eighth brother, Ruizong Xuanzhen Dasheng Daxingxiao Emperor Li Dan. 、

In 705, Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Shengzhaoxiao Li Xian were restored. In 710, Emperor Yang Li Chongmao was succeeded by the fourth son of Zhongzong. Therefore, Li Xian had two next emperors.

In 710, Zhongzong died violently, and Empress Wei established Li Chongmao, the king of Wen, as the emperor, and the dynasty was in charge of the system, wanting to emulate Wu Zetian. But soon Li Longji staged a coup d'état and reinstated his father, Li Dan, the prime minister. Empress Wei was killed in the palace and posthumously demoted to a concubine, called Wei Shuren.

In June of the fourth year of Jinglong (710), Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was poisoned and died by the conspiracy of Empress Wei and Li Bao'er at the age of 55. Buried in Dingling (now Phoenix Mountain, 15 miles northwest of Fuping County, Shaanxi Province).

In the same month, Zhongzong's youngest son, Wen Wang Chongmao, was established as the emperor (known as Emperor Tang Yan in history), changed the yuan to "Tang Long", and was called by the Wei Hou Dynasty, wanting to repeat the story of the Empress Wu. In June of the same year, Li Longji, the third son of Xiang Wang Dan, the king of Linzi, united with his aunt Princess Taiping, befriended the generals of the forbidden army, Ge Fushun, Chen Xuanli, etc., and punished Empress Wei, Princess Anle, Zhu Wei, Wu, etc.

It is known in history as the Tanglong Coup. It was the abolition of the young emperor, and his father Wang Dan was reinstated, which was for Tang Ruizong. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been transferred to the Li Dan line until the death of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xian was killed, and after his death, Empress Wei set up Li Xian's son Li Chongmao, and then Li Longji and Princess Taiping jointly launched a coup d'état, killed Empress Wei, abolished Li Chongmao, and supported Li Longji's father and Li Xian's brother Li Dan to ascend the throne.
