Is Li Dan cowardly or hiding its strength?
This is a strategy. Influenced by Laozi's thought of governing by doing nothing, Li Dan is gentle and honest, and does not contend with the world. In fact, throughout history, in the long river of power killing, Li Dan's inaction kept his children away from the disaster of being killed, which also contributed to the Kaiyuan incident of his third son Li Longji. Let's take a look at Li Dan's three-let the world be the first! Wu Zetian's husband, Emperor Gaozong, had been in charge of political affairs for many years before his death. After the death of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian did not call himself emperor, but made his youngest son emperor. It's strange why the youngest son is a prince, isn't it? There are many things in it. Take your time. Li Dan is nominally the emperor, but Wu Zetian has the final say. Li Dan is just a show. A clever son knows what his mother wants, and then a nominal emperor makes him feel that his brothers are so close to him. Li Dan was afraid. He echoed some ministers who supported Wu Zetian and gave up the throne to his mother on the grounds that he was unable to govern the world. It doesn't matter if it's forced by abdication this time. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Li Dan was named as the heir, an embarrassing title, neither the heir of the emperor nor the prince who had no chance to meet the emperor. Just a suspicious heir. Don't think that giving the throne to your mother can be safe. Li Dan asked his mother to name him Wu. Being a prince is a humiliating reality that Li Dan can only accept and cannot escape. Before leaving office, Wu Zetian had been worried about a problem. She changed the world to the Zhou Dynasty, and the throne went to the Wu family. If the throne passes to her son, her vigorous regime change seems meaningless. The intention spread to his nephew Wu, but the descendants of the Wu family were once exiled to Lingnan. They used to be incompatible people. It was only after their aunt proclaimed herself emperor that they were crowned king. Their image is dirty, and they are not influenced by the emperor's family etiquette. In the present words, they have neither image nor temperament. At the same time, he has little knowledge, and at most he is an uneducated upstart. But there is a fanatical yearning for power. So Wu tried to frame Li Dan and killed two virtuous princesses of Li Dan by Wu Zetian's hand, of which Dou Defai was the biological mother. It was the day after New Year's Day. Two daughters-in-law went to pay New Year greetings to their mother-in-law Wu Zetian. After coming out of Wu Zetian's bedroom, there was no news. No one was born, and no one is alive. In fact, the two concubines felt that there were not many birthdays a few days before they met Wu Zetian, and they had entrusted the children to you. You can imagine how deep Li Dan's inner suffering is. I lost two virtuous concubines at the same time, and the children will lose their mothers. Some children are only a little over one year old and will never see their mother again. But what can we do? As an heir and prince, he can't protect his family. When Wu Zetian met Li Dan the next day, Li Dan, as usual, neither asked his mother for a concubine, nor asked any questions, but told her some ways of keeping in good health and her own research experience on calligraphy and writing. Wu Zetian felt that her son was unfathomable. She is a little afraid of this heir. Wu Zetian knew Wu Chengsi's persecution of Li Dan, and she was already a little hesitant. The key to Wu Zetian's failure to establish Wu as a prince is the emperor. When chatting with Wu Zetian once, Di Renjie seemed to have no intention to explore Wu Zetian. "After your majesty has lived for thousands of generations, who can you consider passing the throne to?" Wu Zetian, in turn, pushed the arrow to Di Renjie. "Who is more suitable for Ai Qing?" "A nephew can't kiss his son after all, and no nephew has put his aunt's coffin in the ancestral hall after becoming an emperor." Di Renjie's meaning is clear. Although you laid the foundation for Huang Wu's imperial industry, you don't even have the right to enjoy sacrifices after your death. Wu Zetian began to look after her children, but Li Dan, the prime minister, was persecuted by the Wu family and was at odds with it. After Prime Minister Li Dan succeeded to the throne, there may be no place in her family. The balance in my heart finally tilted to Li Xian, the brother of Li Dan who was demoted to Luzhou. So Li Xian succeeded to the throne. Li Xian felt that he had robbed his younger brother of the throne and wanted to make Li Dan the "emperor's brother". He was blocked by Wei Ruyun in Li Xian in every way. Li Dan was afraid of being killed again and resolutely resigned. Give way for the second time. Li Dan's younger brother, Zhongzong, is weak and incompetent and extremely fatuous. I only care about my enjoyment and beauty, the Korean chaos. Wei Hou and his daughter, Princess An Le, courted important officials in North Korea and were crony. I want to replace Zhongzong and follow in the footsteps of my mother-in-law Wu Zetian. So he and Anle * * * poisoned Zhongzong. Li Longji, the third son of Li Dan, revolted, killing Wei Hou and his happiness. The fate of the Tang Dynasty returned to the Li family. Li Dan was once again pushed to the throne. Li Dan didn't back down this time. He also wants to make this country stable and clear after years of chaos. What the kind Li Dan didn't expect was that his sister Princess Taiping used her princess status to join the ruling and opposition parties and wanted to replace her brother. The meaning of replacement is not only replacement, but also the right to life of the whole family. What a cruel reality. Li Dan's third son is definitely not mediocre. He sent his aunt to the west the day before Princess Taiping's action. When Li Dan saw that his only sister was killed by his son, his fear struck again, and he gave way to his son Li Longji. Give way for the third time. Only this time, he is not reconciled, he is still young, he still has the ability and energy to deal with state affairs, and he still has nostalgia for the throne. But he doesn't want to see any more bloodshed between himself and other scholars for power struggle. He endured it again. In the fifth year of his son's succession, Li Dan died at the age of 55. Li Dan's life has experienced ups and downs, life and death many times. He seems weak, but he also has the ability and courage to govern the country. Sadly, he has a mother who is an emperor. The mother is strong, and it is difficult for her son to shine in her aura. Even when I eat with my mother, I only dare to eat the rice that my mother has eaten, for fear that I will be poisoned by my mother. But it was Li Dan's prudence and forbearance that allowed him to save his children in the power struggle. As he often advised his third son to say: save your strength and hide your strength! Concession is not only cowardice, but also a strategy sometimes. He chose to stay out when the factions were fighting. Living in my own world, I am proficient in music, calligraphy, writing, etc., and I am an expert in that respect. At the same time, teach children how to read more books, improve themselves, and know how to be kind and kind. In the battle for the throne in past dynasties, it is not uncommon for fathers, sons, brothers and sisters to kill each other. Only Li Dan's Wang Zizhong, none of which is controversial, is rare in history. This has something to do with Li Dan's life.
