After the Anshi Rebellion, why did the crown prince Li Heng part ways with his father?

Because Li Heng at that time wanted to prove his strength to his father by gaining fame through his own efforts, the world was unstable after the Anshi Rebellion, and he decided to quell the chaos.

That's because when suppressing the rebellion, the rebels from all walks of life must have the crown prince Li Heng personally command the battle. Li Longji did not want to risk the imperial expedition in person, and was reluctant to give up the throne, which caused the crown prince Li Heng and his father to turn against each other, and united all the generals to force the palace and let him hand over the imperial power.

Although he is the crown prince, he has not ascended to the throne, he is not the real emperor, and there are many uncertainties. It is the wish of the princes to become the emperor as soon as possible, and the emperor has supreme power.

This made Li Heng even more frightened, thinking that Tang Xuanzong was testing him again, in order to see if he would take advantage of the fire to rob and seize the throne when he was in turmoil. Li Heng's succession to the throne was a helpless move.

The reason why he usurped the throne during the Anshi Rebellion was because he did not become the emperor, and the emperor was a particularly high position in history. And if he ascends to the throne in the Anshi Rebellion, it will be of certain benefit to both him personally and the entire Tang Dynasty.

The situation forced Li Heng to die if he did not usurp the throne, and at that time, Ge Shuhan's 200,000 army was bleeding in Tongguan. At this time, the imperial capital Chang'an must not be able to hold it. Not only Chang'an can't hold it, but Guanzhong can't hold it either. So, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong escorted Tang Xuanzong and hurried to Sichuan.

Because Yang Guozhong is a native of Sichuan, he persuaded Li Longji to take refuge in Shuzhong, and also said that between Sichuan and Guanzhong are the Qinling Mountains, and no matter how powerful An Lushan's iron cavalry is, it will also overcome difficulties and dangers to fight to Sichuan.

Because Li Heng became the emperor in order to better suppress the rebellion, he became the emperor, and after the rebellion was suppressed, Li Longji officially passed the throne to Li Heng.

Political views are different. Although they are father and son, they each have their own ideas and their own actions, but there are great differences, and the situation of father and son parting ways is formed.

First of all, because the crown prince Li Heng couldn't get used to Tang Xuanzong's abandonment of government all day long, and secondly, there were many differences between the two in many political opinions.

Because the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion was related to Xuanzong's ignorance of government affairs and covetousness in the later period of Tang Xuanzong, the prince chose not to join him.

Because the crown prince Li Heng skillfully took advantage of the soldiers' resentment towards Yang Guozhong, he launched a mutiny, like killing Tang Xuanzong, but unfortunately Tang Xuanzong found out, and in the end the father and son could only part ways.

Tang Taizong had a very bad relationship with Li Heng. Tang Taizong also had a lot of suspicions about Li Heng, and he was always wary of whether the prince would rebel against him.

Because the prince at that time had a discord with his father after the Anshi Rebellion, and later Tang Xuanzong fled to Shuzhong, the prince was unwilling, and finally the prince led the men and horses to quell the rebellion.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out, Xuanzong fled to Shuzhong, the prince was reluctant to go on the way, and parted ways with Xuanzong, and the prince led the Shuofang army to quell the rebellion.

Li Heng single-handedly planned a mutiny and killed the Yang family, and the spearhead was pointed at Xuanzong. Xuanzong's entry into Shu is irreversible, and it is imperative for father and son to part ways.

Because the crown prince and Tang Xuanzong have always been at odds with each other, both of them are suspicious of each other, so they ran separately when they fled, but in the end it was the prince who put down the rebellion.

After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Heng's father, Tang Xuanzong, also often commanded troops to fight against An Lushan. Although Tang Xuanzong had the support of Guo Ziyi and other generals, he was over 70 years old at the time, and he had long since lost the heroic spirit of galloping on the battlefield back then, and his mental judgment had also decreased a lot, so he always took some rash measures in the war. Even if he had superior conditions for counterattacking, he would not be able to fight against An Lushan's rebels.

If he continues to be the commander, he will put himself at an even greater disadvantage. So he left his crown prince Li Heng and asked him to really guide the army to fight back against the rebels, while he chose to flee to Shu. And the reason why the crown prince Li Heng agreed with his father's approach and parted ways with his father was not because he was suppressed by his father before, but more because of the following two reasons.

The first aspect: the crown prince Li Heng wants to establish prestige through this incident. Indeed, although Tang Xuanzong supported the crown prince Li Heng above the court before, he criticized more than praised, so that the civil and military officials had mixed opinions about him.

So this is an opportunity for the crown prince Li Heng to show his ability, as the leader of a country, if he can quell the rebels, he will naturally be able to rightfully ascend to the throne. So he knew that it was dangerous to stay, but he also chose to stay and fight.

The second aspect: Prince Li Heng wants to show his father his abilities through this incident. When he was young, Tang Xuanzong taught the crown prince Li Heng earnestly, but he always lacked some exercise, and he had no way to perform it when he was full of economy.

This incident provided him with a good opportunity to show his father his strength. If the suppression of the rebels succeeds, it will not only prove his father's wisdom in choosing the crown prince, but also solve the crisis of the Tang Dynasty, so he will choose to part ways with his father.

The crown prince Li Heng was too oppressed by his father before, so it was a good thing that he chose to part ways with his father Tang Xuanzong when the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

The crown prince Li Heng was too oppressed by his father before, and he didn't like this kind of life, so he parted ways with his father after the Anshi Rebellion.

was oppressed too much by his father before, and the prince always wanted to rebel, and Tang Xuanzong was also aware of this matter, so it was a good thing to part ways.

I think that after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the reason why the crown prince Li Heng chose to part ways with his father Tang Xuanzong may be that he felt that he might be hurt if he was with his father Tang Xuanzong.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out, the rebels captured Chang'an, Tang Xuanzong fled in a hurry, without many soldiers and horses, the prince contacted the general Chen Xuanli and remembered the rebellion, but he didn't expect Chen Xuanli to be loyal to Xuanzong, and Tang Xuanzong had sensed the prince's rebellious heart, and the matter had come to this point, so he could only part ways.

At this time, there were two choices, whether Tang Xuanzong continued to go to Shu, or stayed and commanded the counterinsurgency, the emperor was in Shu, and it was impossible to command the counterinsurgency well, so at this time, his son Li Heng, the crown prince, stayed.

I think it's because the crown prince Li Heng and his father Tang Xuanzong had a disagreement, and Tang Xuanzong was too oppressive to the prince, which made him breathless, and he had to part ways with his father.

The Anshi Rebellion was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty from the prosperity of the Mo Sakura to the decline of Songyan, and several sons of Tang Xuanzong wanted to seek power and usurp the throne in the Andan and Shi Rebellion. It's all about ascending to that supreme position.

Due to the chaos of the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong lost power. At this time, it will be easier to usurp the throne and become the emperor. The pure advantage of doing this is that he got his wish and became the emperor.

Because of the chaotic situation in the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong lost his position and stared at it, and it was easier for him to become a functional usurper and successfully become the emperor. The advantage of this is that he got his wish and became emperor.

The Anshi Rebellion was in turmoil, and the probability of winning by snatching the throne by himself was higher, so that he could have an excuse to ascend to the throne with a clan banquet, and Hunger Lu was also a particularly good opportunity for him.

It was because the situation at that time was chaotic and it was easier to usurp the throne; The good thing for him was that he succeeded in becoming emperor.
