Chapter 29 Bedside Politics 2
The Mystery of Tang Xuanzong's Failure to Establish a Queen

Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, initially appointed the daughter of Captain Guo Yi, who was surnamed Wang in Zhechong Mansion, as the queen.At the beginning, Queen Wang assisted Li Longji to overthrow Queen Wei and win Princess Taiping by virtue of her extraordinary courage and her innate courage as a tiger girl.It can be said that the reason why Li Longji was able to become the emperor is that half of the king and empress are included in the military medal.

As Li Longji's reign was delayed, the relationship between him and Queen Wang became weaker and weaker.Queen Wang didn't read much, she didn't have much ink in her stomach, and most importantly, Queen Wang had no heirs, which made Li Longji pay less attention to her.Later, Li Longji favored a concubine surnamed Wu, which made Queen Wang anxious. In order to win back Li Longji's heart, she would speak ill of that concubine in front of Li Longji whenever she had a chance.

But things did not develop as expected by Queen Wang. Not only did Li Longji not stay away from the concubine surnamed Wu, but he became increasingly bored with Queen Wang, and gradually came up with the idea of ​​deposing the queen.

In order to restore Tang Xuanzong's feelings, Queen Wang dared not take a tough attitude, but chose to play the emotional card.As the saying goes, a husband and wife can be kind for a hundred days, not to mention that the queen and Tang Xuanzong shared adversity and walked along the way.Although Tang Xuanzong had always wanted to dethrone the king and empress, he couldn't find the reason for a while, and he didn't take any action.

One day, Tang Xuanzong went to visit the Queen, and the Queen took the opportunity to complain: "Your Majesty, don't you think that Ah Zhong took off his purple half-arm Yidou noodles and made soup cakes for his birthday?" This is when Tang Xuanzong was still the king of Linzi, Once, I went to Queen Wang's house for her birthday. It happened that Queen Wang's father was fond of gambling and lost all his family savings.In order not to neglect Li Longji, he took off his purple half arm and pawned it. After buying noodles, he made a bowl of longevity noodles for Li Longji.

Since both Wang and Empress mentioned such past events, Li Longji naturally couldn't bring up the matter of abolition.It's a pity that Queen Wang didn't live up to it. Seeing the favored children of the Wu family in groups, she couldn't help but ask the gods for help, and found a monk named Mingwu to do it.On the second day after Queen Wang's practice, Li Longji learned about it. When he asked, he learned that the queen's mantra was: "Wear this to have a son, and be the queen of heaven."

Li Longji was furious immediately, if he wanted to be the Empress of Heaven, wouldn't he have to learn from Wu Zetian?Now no matter how much Queen Wang argues, it will be of no avail. Li Longji puts Queen Wang in the cold palace and never asks questions again. Within two years, Queen Wang died of depression.The queen's seat was vacant. It stands to reason that the most favored Wu family should be made the queen, but Li Longji has been reluctant to take any action.

The reason is that this scene is too similar to the previous scene of Wu Zetian becoming a queen, abolishing the king and establishing the martial arts. All this is a repeat of history 70 years ago.The ministers obstructed it one after another for three reasons: First, the Wu family and the Li family have a sworn feud, so how can the mother of the Wu surname be honored to the world.Second, the crown prince has already been established. If the Wu family becomes the queen, they will definitely want to make their own son the crown prince, which will inevitably lead to turmoil.Third, we do not want history to repeat itself.

The ministers were justified in their worries, so Tang Xuanzong gave up the idea of ​​making Wu the queen. In the end, he had to make Wu the concubine Hui as compensation.After that, the idea of ​​establishing a queen was dismissed.
