1, recorded in New Tang Book. Said that Prince Li Ying had been trapped by Wu Huifei.
2. The New Tang Book records that on the first night, Wu Huifei sent a message to the brothers of the Prince, saying that there were robbers in the palace and asked the Prince to lead troops to escort him immediately! It's urgent, and no one thinks much. Besides, the prince brothers have long fallen out of favor in front of Xuanzong and are looking for opportunities to save them. Therefore, Prince Li Ying, Li Yao and Li Cong quickly brought their own guards.
3, a look at the three brothers really led the troops into the palace, Wu Huifei pretended to be more nervous than anyone, shouting that the prince had rebelled! Xuanzong himself is a coup master and is most sensitive to coups. He took immediate action and arrested his three sons.
4. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty directly sent eunuchs into the palace to announce the system, abolishing Prince Li Ying, Li Yao, the king of Hubei, and Li Cong, the king of light, as Shu Ren. The deposed queen usually has no good result, and so does the fallen prince. Fifteen days later, three brothers, Prince Li Ying, were given death in a post station in the east of Chang 'an.
Killing three sons in one day is the biggest injustice since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty became emperor.

Evaluation of Xuanzong Characters in the History of Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, Cambridge.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the longest-serving monarch in the Tang Dynasty, and he was a very capable ruler. After decades of usurpation, power decline and political corruption, this dynasty brought its power to a new peak.
For the people of China who have experienced decades of suffering and turmoil after his abdication, his rule represents a golden age that has lost its glory, a period of brilliant achievements, stability and prosperity, and the same achievements at home and abroad.
He was a tragic hero to historians who wrote the history of Xuanzong in the late 1950s. At the beginning of his reign, he made outstanding achievements, but later he was led astray by ambition and arrogance, which made the administration and resources of the empire too tight and finally ended his fragmented rule by quitting government affairs.
But all scholars think that he is an outstanding ruler, and he left an indelible mark on the history at that time. In addition, he is versatile: he is good at melody, poetry and calligraphy, and is the patron of many artists and writers.
He was also proficient in Taoist philosophy and became the main protector of Taoism. Although his early measures were unfavorable to Buddhist organizations, he was still deeply addicted to tantra. As an ordinary person, he seems to have a deep friendship with his brother and family. Even the official records of his reign describe him as a very kind, considerate, obedient and straightforward person.
