Tang Zhongzong Li Xian (656 ~ 7 10) was the fourth and sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty (if Wu Zetian was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty). His reign was from February 65438 to February 683 and from July 705 1 month to May 7 10/year.

Li Xian is the son of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, also known as Li Zhe. At first he was made king of Zhou, and later he was changed to king of England. After his two brothers, Li Hongzhang and Li Xian, were deposed as princes, Li Xian became a prince, and he inherited his throne after the death of Emperor Gaozong.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, he planned to build his own strength to compete with Wu Zetian. His main supporters are relatives of his queen Wei. His father, Wei Wei, who was going to be promoted, was opposed by Pei Yan, a close confidant of Wu Zetian. Li Xian slave said that if he wanted, he could give the whole world to Wei Yuan-zhen. Wu Zetian used this as an excuse to depose him.

Li Xian was demoted to King Luling and placed under house arrest in Zhou Jun and Zhou Fang.

In 699, Wu Zetian re-established Li Xian as the Prince. In 705, under the threat of ministers and generals, Wu Zetian passed the throne to Li Xian. Li Xian restored the title of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xian trusts Queen Wei very much because she has problems with him. She participated in state affairs with her, making her father king, and her daughter Princess Anle also wanted to participate in politics and gain power. Princess Anle hoped that Li Xian would make her the wife of the emperor and succeed him to the throne. At this time, Wei Hou paid less and less attention to him, hoping to become an emperor like Wu Zetian.

In July10, Wei Hou was accused of promiscuity. Wei Hou was afraid that Li Xian would be investigated this time, so he decided to poison him with Princess Anle.

After Li Xian's death, Wei Hou was quickly killed by Li Longji.

Li Xian was buried in Dingling.
