Why didn t Wu Zetian leave the throne to his daughter?

Wu Zetian. There are three reasons why she did not leave the throne to her daughter, the first reason came from herself, she was too old to deal with Li Tang's loyalty.

of recalcitrant forces; The second reason is that her daughter does not have the talent of hers, nor does she have a loyal and talented person to assist her; The third reason is that Wu Zetian is a woman after all, and she can't bear the huge pressure of traditional Chinese feudal etiquette. <>

Let's talk about the first reason first, after Wu Zetian strangled his first daughter to death with his own hands, he treated Princess Taiping.

This little daughter is very loved, and she has not thought of making this daughter the second empress, but the stubborn forces loyal to Li Tang will never allow her to do so.

Wu Zetian was only the emperor of one dynasty, and he still listened to the government in the early stage, while Li Tang has a long foundation, and it is difficult to shake it with her alone. With her ability, she has to endure and restrain for more than 30 years before she can ascend to the throne of God in fear, and if it is passed on to her daughter who is not as good as herself, it is tantamount to direct killing.

The second reason is that Princess Taiping does not have the ability and courage of her mother Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had a bumpy life, she was alert, and before she ascended the throne, there was a group of capable people who died to support her desperately. It can be said that Wu Zetian's success is due to his own blood and corpses all the way to the end, and on the other hand, countless dead soldiers who have made friends with each other have paid the price of their lives to achieve it.

But Princess Taiping obviously did not have such an experience, and most of the people who supported her valued her status and power, rather than being a friend of her life. For this point, Wu Zetian must be like a mirror.

She didn't want her daughter to take the risk.

The last reason is also an important reason, the male superiority and inferiority of the traditional forces of Chinese feudalism have been invisibly restraining Wu Zetian's thinking and behavior. The Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, and Wu Zetian claims to be Maitreya.

reincarnated, so Wu Zetian himself should believe in the fate of reincarnation.

According to historical records, Wu Zetian once asked Di Renjie.

Ask, which is the parent's family and the husband's family? Di Renjie said that the husband's family is the emperor, and Wu Zetian can still enjoy the sacrifice as the emperor.

It can be seen that Wu Zetian has long thought about the posthumous issue, and he also silently accepted Di Renjie's statement. From the feudal tradition of ethics.

From the point of view, Wu Zetian will never risk the world's disapproval and pass on the throne to Princess Taiping.

Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Wu Zetian's third son.

Tang Zhongzong Li Xian and Tang Ruizong Li Dan have both served successively. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi also posthumously crowned him and Wu Zetian's eldest son (Li Xian's eldest brother, so Wu Zetian had a total of three sons who served as emperors).

Wu Zetian's third son, Li Xian, became emperor.

Zhongzong Li Xian, the only merit is to give way to Ruizong Li Dan, Li Dan's only merit is to give way to his son Xuanzong Li Longji...

is her eldest son who is still alive, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian.

Passing on the throne to his son, Wu Zetian and the children of the Wu family can also enjoy the support and glory of future generations as queens and relatives; But if the nephews are overthrown on the throne, then the martial arts family will be "wiped out". Therefore, even if it is for the sake of the martial family, Wu Zetian has to pass the throne to his son.

Wu Zetian is already very old, and his body is not good.

There are still many forces loyal to the Li family.

And it's her dearest.

Giving the position to his son, of course.

Because I'm old, I can only pass it on to my son, and I'm really helping you look forward to it

Wu Zetian is very wise, his daughter's ability is not enough, and in addition, the bloodline will also be confused.

If you don't pass on your son, you can really live forever.

has been forced into the palace by his son, who will he pass on if he doesn't pass it on to his son?

Only respect, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian.

Wu Zetian finally passed the throne to Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Zhongzong. Li Xian has been an emperor twice in history, and after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Li Xian ascended the throne, but it was only a month or two after the emperor's addiction. In 705 AD, Wu Zetian returned the throne to Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Zhongzong.

As we all know, Wu Zetian was officially proclaimed emperor in her 60s, and she lived to be more than 80 years old, not only the only female emperor in history, but also one of the longest-lived emperors in history. At that time, many people thought that Wu Zetian would elect the crown prince from the clan surnamed Wu, and everyone never thought that Wu Zetian would finally return the country to the Li family.

Li Xian is the third son of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. Li Xian has been an emperor twice in history, Tang Gao pointed out that after the death of Li Zhi, Li Xian ascended the throne, but it only took a month or two for the emperor to become addicted. In 705 A.D., Wu Zetian was seriously ill and dying, and returned the throne to Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Zhongzong.

In 705 AD, Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and many people led by Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi and General Yulin led the troops to kill Wu Zetian's male favorite Zhang brothers, Wu Zetian was forced to be located in Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Li Xian was restored in October of the same year, Wu Zetian died at the age of 82.

This is because she has been consumed by lust and is completely controlled by power and desire, even her own son.

Her son doesn't have much ability, and she is also more ambitious about the country's poor development.

Because Wu Zetian's ambition is very big, she wants to be the emperor herself.

Li Xian did not want to pass on the throne to Li Dan, the first time was Li Dan who was supported by Empress Wu, the second time was Li Xian's sudden death, Empress Wei made a rebellion, Li Dan and Princess Taiping killed Empress Wei and ascended the throne as emperor.

Li Xian and Li Dan are brothers, and both became emperors twice. The first time Li Xian passed on the throne to Li Dan was because shortly after Gaozong's death, Empress Wu became the empress dowager, and the crown prince Li Xian was appointed as the emperor, which was for Tang Zhongzong. However, due to the disagreement between Zhongzong and Empress Dowager Wu, Zhongzong was soon abolished as the king of Luling, and another son, Li Dan, was appointed as the emperor, which was Tang Ruizong.

After Zhongzong was poisoned in the first year of Jingyun (710), Li Chongmao, who was only 16 years old at the seventh day of the sixth month, was immediately enthroned as the emperor, and the hall was changed to "Tang Long". Li Chongmao ascended the throne less than a month, Ruizong's third son Linzi King Li Longji, sister Princess Taiping and other generals of the forbidden army, supported troops into the palace, and killed Empress Wei, on the twenty-fourth day Li Chongmao abdicated, Ruizong re-ascended the throne.

Why didn't Li Xian pass on the throne to his son

Because Li Xian's four sons have all died for various reasons. The eldest son, Li Chongrun, is the prince of Yide, who was killed by Wu Zetian in 701 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.

The second son, Li Chongfu, is a concubine. The biological mother is a certain clan in the harem, the first king of Tangchang, Li Chongfu rebelled, failed, and committed suicide at the age of 31.

In July 707, Li Chongjun led the general Li Heju of Zuo Yulin to rebel, and failed to attack the palace and rushed to Nanshan to be killed by his subordinates. Li Longji, the fourth son of Li Chongmao, that is, Emperor Tang Yan, is also the youngest son, Li Longji launched a coup d'état in Tang Long, supported Tang Ruizong Li Dan to restore 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.
