Princess Anle: Why was Tang Zhongzongs favorite princess abolished as a maid after death?

Many people don’t understand it, so let’s take a look with the editor.

Princess Anle, the youngest daughter, was loved by his father Tang Zhongzong and his mother since childhood. At that time, he was demoted to Fangling and was in a depressed mood, and the birth of Princess Anle was very pleased with this disaster. He undressed himself and named him Wrapped.

After growing up, Princess Anle Xu was assigned to Wu Chongxun. Soon after, Wu Zetian became seriously ill, and Tang Zhongzong regained his throne, and Princess Anle also followed, moving the capital with his gorgeous name. And only six months after Princess Anle married Wu Chongxun, she gave birth. Some people say that Princess Anle had a relationship with Wu Chongxun before she became married, and she married Fengzi. However, some people say that Princess Anle and Wu Chongxun may just be "honest people" and "connected to the heroes".

The status of women is higher, so the status of the princess of the Tang Dynasty also ranks among the crowns of all dynasties. At that time, Tang Zhongzong's younger sister Quan Quanchao was wild, and high-ranking prime ministers were out of his house. And Princess Anle didn't want to let go, she must compare with this aunt. She opened the government and set up officials, intervened in the government, and bribed the prince, so she elected several prime ministers to the court.

Gradually, Princess Anle's wings were plump and her powers expanded, and her subordinates "persuaded in advance", hoping that she could become the second female emperor of Wu Zetian. Therefore, the ambitious Princess Anle repeatedly found his father and emperor, asking him to seal himself as "the emperor's daughter". Although the Ancients depreciated Princess Anle much, according to the values ​​of modern people, Princess Anle may be a new woman who pursues the liberation of personality. After all, the identity of the Queen Mother is unprecedented.

However, Tang Zhongzong regards the behavior of Princess Anle as Prank for girls, but smiled. However, he did not expect that Princess Anle really wanted to be emperor. From small to large, Tang Zhongzong never refused Princess Anle's request. Whether it was money, luxurious mansions or gorgeous clothes, Tang Zhongzong was not stingy. But such a thing as the throne is not the same as the small one, how can you give it at will?

However, Princess Anle thinks that since Wu Zetian can be the emperor, why can't he do it. Therefore, Princess Anle turned her dissatisfaction from her respect to her father and emperor, and from dissatisfaction to hatred. The bottle of poison of power actually poisoned the princess to this point.

Princess Anle not only swelled her desire for power and lived a luxurious life, but she was also very unruly. Her husband, Wu Chongxun, has a cousin named Wu Yanxiu. He has been on the sidelines for a long time. He is good at singing and can dance Turkic dances. He is very handsome. Wu Yanxiu has been a guest at Princess Anle's house many times, but the two of them were hooked into a traitor. No one was around, but Wu Chongxun pretended not to see it.

Soon after, Wu Chongxun died of illness, and Princess Anle also naturally married Wu Yanxiu. On the wedding day, the event was unprecedented, and even Princess Aunt Taiping danced for the couple. In order to build a new princess palace, Tang Zhongzong demolished everywhere in Chang'an City, causing people to complain.

Although Tang Zhongzong is very good for Princess Anle, But she refused to give her power. Therefore, Princess Anle conspired with an equally ambitious mother to kill Tang Zhongzong with poison in June 710. They had already figured it out, first of all, with Emperor Zhongzong 15-year-old Li Chongmao as the emperor, regent by Wei Hou. Later, Wei Hou emulated Wu Zetian and became Emperor, while Princess Li'anle was the Empress Dowager.

Just as the mother and daughter were in control of the North Korean government and celebrated each other, the well-informed King Linzi and Princess Taiping learned of the news. Li Longji and Princess Taiping understood that once Wei Emperor became Emperor, Prime Minister Li Dan (father of Li Longji, brother of Princess Taiping) must be victimized, and they would also be implicated in both of them. So the two conspired to launch a coup, of which Li Longji, bought it. Therefore, Li Longji led the army and killed the palace, Princess Anle was hacked to death.

After the death of Princess Anle, Li Dan ascended the throne for the purpose, and Princess Anle was also liquidated and was abolished as a "Bei Gong Gong". The so-called "Palace", "the Queen's base slave also". Therefore, princess Anle was abolished from a noble princess to a humble maid. According to Tang Law, those who commit crimes of rebellion "have no family as official slaves." Obviously, this law is still valid even for royalty.

Thinking of the princess’s royal identity, Li Longji and others still set up an epitaph for her, until we discovered it more than 1,000 years later. In the epitaph, Li Longji and others have counted several major crimes of Princess Anle: ticket arrogance, determined to be extravagant, and devoted the state to the decoration of Di Yu.

Later, the epitaph said: Their husbands Wu Yanxiu and Wei Wen conspired to defend the sect, lurking back to evil, forming murderers, and excluding the good. Mixing poison, Zhongzong collapsed. As a result, Princess Anle's crime of poisoning the prince was real. Princess Anle harmed the people, poisoned the emperor, and harmed the normal order of governance. It is said that girls want to be rich, but judging from the case of Princess Anle, excessive richness has instead spawned their evil spirits. It is so-called desperation, and the ancients never bullied me.
