Brother, friend and brother Gong killed three sons in one day, but why should they take care of their brother for life?

Imperial power is supreme. Li Longji killed three sons in one day because he felt that the imperial power was threatened (of course, all three sons were framed), and his love for his brothers was precisely because the brothers not only did not compete for the throne, but also made great contributions to his accession to the throne.

Let's start with killing three sons a day. The former queen Wang had no children, and Li Ying, the second son, was made a prince (the eldest son Li Cong, according to legend, was injured by a wild boar while hunting, and his appearance was damaged, so he could not be a prince). After doting, I abolished the king and queen for her. Wu Huifei wanted his son, Li Mao, the longevity king (the 18th son of Xuanzong) to be a prince.

Li Yao, the fifth son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Cong, the eighth son of Wang Guang, often get together. Because of Wu Huifei's favor, his mother fell out of favor and complained. Wu Huifei caught him and falsely accused them of a crime. Although Saint Zhang Jiuling defended them for the first time and was falsely accused of rebellion for the second time, Zhang Jiuling had already stopped talking. At that time, the traitor Li helped. Finally, Li Longji would rather believe it and demote his third son to a civilian. Although Li Longji should regret it later, he didn't make Li Mao a prince, but he still made his third son Hengli a prince on the principle of seniority. Wu Huifei was also tortured for killing three princes. He died of insanity and fear. But I have made a big mistake. Li Longji killed three sons in one day, which became a famous father-son tragedy.

Why did Li Longji believe the rumor of the Three Princes' rebellion? On the one hand, because of Li's planning and incitement, they are all his cronies. On the other hand, Li Longji himself came to power through a coup at the beginning, and twice. Political changes and a congenital coup took place in Tang Long, so special preventive measures were taken against the coup. These two coups were just brothers who stood firm with themselves. Not only that, the two brothers spent the most difficult years with Li Longji since childhood, and even gave up the position of the prince who did not belong to them to themselves. That's why Li Longji has no doubt about his brother.

Speaking of the feelings of the five brothers in Li Longji, they are really close. They are not only brothers, but also friends who share weal and woe and share life and death. In the early years, Wu Zetian abolished Li Xian and Li Dan, and all five sons of Li Dan became princes. However, Wu Zetian is only one step away from personally ascending the throne, and the Wu family is even more eyeing. Under this oppression, Li Dan abdicated and eventually retired as the heir. When Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Li Dan's five sons were not as good as chickens, and their status declined rapidly.

Not only that, Wu Sansi and others also tried their best to make Li Dan commit treason. Even the two women around him, Liu (the former queen, the mother of the eldest son Li Xian) and Dou (the mother), were executed by Wu Zetian. The family has been on the edge of the cliff. Li Longji's five brothers lived in Qin Long Square and lived alone. I don't know when the butcher knife fell.

After the Dragon Coup, Li Xian, the middle emperor, was restored, and Li Dan became King Anguo and his aunt Princess Taiping. They became the two most powerful forces in the Tang Dynasty. But soon, Queen Webster of Li Xian and her daughter Princess Anle expanded their power sharply, and Li Dan and Princess Taiping became the key targets. Soon after, Li Xian was poisoned by Wei Hou. She monopolized the power and wanted to emulate her mother-in-law Wu Zetian. Li Dan and Princess Taiping are in danger. At the critical moment, Li Longji, the third son of Li Dan, drew his sword, joined several sons of his aunt Li Longji and the imperial generals to launch a political rebellion in Tang Long, killing Wei Hou and Princess Anle and supporting his father Li Dan to ascend to the throne.

After Li Dan ascended the throne, Li Longji was named Ping Wang. However, the prince's position has been hesitant. Arguably, the eldest son inherited, the prince should belong to Li Dan's eldest son, Li Xian of the Song Dynasty, but Li Longji was in a dilemma because of his high position. At this time, Li Xian stood up and said that the eldest son would inherit when prosperity was good, and the person with the highest merit should do it when the country was in trouble. Resolutely refused the position of Prince, and Li Chengyi's second brother Wang Shen also resigned from the position of Prince on this ground, making Li Longji a successful prince and then an emperor. So, Li Longji's throne was ceded by his two brothers. They have a chance to be emperors, not to be them, so Li Longji is sure that they will not pose a threat to his throne.

The second coup originated from a dispute between Li Longji and his aunt Princess Taiping. After Li Longji became a prince, the contradiction with his aunt became increasingly prominent. Li Dan was very unhappy. He abdicated and Li Longji ascended the throne. There is no buffer between aunt and nephew, and the contradiction is more intense. Princess Taiping tried to establish another emperor and abolish Li Longji. At this time, Yao Chong and Song Jing offered to send Li Xian and Li Chengyi to other places as secretariat to put an end to the idea of Princess Taiping.

The two brothers also took the tail from wagging the dog and went happily. None of them wants to be a puppet emperor beside Princess Taiping. The two younger brothers, Qi Wang and Xue Wang, finally directly participated in the congenital coup against Princess Taiping, and made great contributions to eliminating Princess Taiping's henchmen.

Therefore, in the most difficult time in Li Longji, the four brothers were close to each other and never abandoned them. They all had the chance to become emperors, but they all gave up, so Li Longji wouldn't worry that his brothers would rebel. Li Longji used to be a big pillow and quilt. He slept with his brother. After the death of the four brothers, Li Xian, the eldest brother (later renamed Li Xian), was made emperor, and the other three were also made princes. This is unprecedented. Li Longji did this to show that the throne is shared by the five of them, which is a model of brotherhood and respect.
