Why did Zhuo Li sit on the throne because of what a prostitute said?

Because when Chou Shiliang sent someone to pick up Li Rong's report at that time, because of the prostitute's words, these soldiers mistakenly thought that the person they were going to pick up was Li Meng, and then they mistakenly took him to the palace and became the emperor in a fog. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful in all aspects, it was the most unstable dynasty in the history of succession to the throne. After the change of Xuanwumen in Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, almost every change of the throne was accompanied by a palace coup and infighting. Eunuchs played an important role in the battle for the throne.

Especially in the mid-Tang Dynasty, eunuchs began to have a say in appointing successors. In the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs even controlled the succession of the throne, but a generation of emperors became titular emperors.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Wenzong suddenly became seriously ill, but Tang Wenzong was childless and his power was suspended. Power is in the hands of eunuchs Chou Shiliang and Hiroshi Yu. In order to stay in power, they planned to build a puppet emperor, and this candidate was Li Rong, so they sent someone to invite Li Rong into the palace. However, Li Rong lives in a royal residence outside the palace. Coincidentally, Li Zhuo also lives in this house.

Li Zhuo, he is the fifth son of Hengli. He is a naughty, lazy and typical guy. Once, on the way to play, I took a fancy to a brothel geisha and took her back to the yamen to be his concubine. On that day, when Chou Shiliang sent someone to meet Li Rong in Wang Zhai, he was stunned by the towering building in front of him and was at a loss. Moreover, these soldiers only know that they are here to see a monarch.

Just when they didn't know why, someone said: Take a big one? At this moment, someone shouted? Big? . When a prostitute who married a concubine passed by, she happened to hear the soldiers talking and mistakenly thought that they had come to pick up Li Meng, so she told them: Is the big one Li Zhuo? . This just made a joke and brought Li Zhuo back to the palace by mistake, but when Chou Shiliang found that he had picked up the wrong person, it was too late, and the enthronement ceremony was about to begin. Then someone will say that he became emperor because of the words of a prostitute.
