Li Shimin's grandson, Li Ke's son, has been hiding for fifty years. Sixty years later, he took part in two major activities.
In the early days of Tang Gaozong's Li Zhi, Sun Chang Wuji was ferocious, winning all the Li people who threatened Li Zhi's throne, including Li Ke, the third son of Li Shimin. Later, Li Ke's four sons were exiled to Lingnan, and Li Rennian, the eldest son, was only 7 years old. Li Ren, also known as Li, is recorded in history books as "impetuous and incompetent", which means narrow-minded and impatient and incompetent. However, this man survived the dark ages when Wu Zetian slaughtered the imperial clan of Li Tang. He also succeeded in pleasing Wu Zetian, restoring his official position, returning to Beijing, and establishing contact with later Tang Zhongzong Li Xian. Li Ren, who had been hidden for fifty years, took part in two major events after he was over sixty. One was the Dragon Revolution, which overthrew the rule of Wu Zetian and made Tang Zhongzong Li Xian ascend to the throne. The second time was the Jinglong coup, which killed Wu Sansi and his son. Unfortunately, it fell short and failed to completely destroy Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle, and she herself was ruined. After 30 years of exile, from the son of a luxurious prince to being exiled to Lingnan, the life of seven-year-old Li Ren has undergone tremendous changes. During this time, Li Ren and his younger brothers certainly didn't suffer anything, only Li Ren's second brother died early. After all, Li Ke's father is Li Shimin, and his mother is Yang Fei, the daughter of Emperor Yang Di. At least the two brothers can get respect. Moreover, Li Ke, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty for many years, should have accumulated a lot of wealth and a group of trusted retainers or ministers, so there is no problem with life safety. When Sun Chang Wuji was demoted and exiled by Li Zhi and forced to commit suicide six years later, Li Ke became king of Yulin County. This was good news for Li Ren's brothers, who should return to Chang 'an to inherit the title without punishment. However, Li Zhi arranged for others in the imperial clan to inherit the title of Li Ke, and the Li Ren brothers will continue to live in Lingnan. This time, we have been waiting for 25 years. First Li Zhi died, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian came to power and stepped down, and then Tang Ruizong Li Dan came to power. Tang Ruizong Li Dan is the puppet of Wu Zetian, but should we go or not to worship heaven and earth and grant amnesty to the whole world? Li Ren then picked up a bargain and returned to Luoyang, the capital of God, for forgiveness. After suffering for 30 years, Li Ren got extra compensation from God. The teenager who inherited the title of Li Ke before was exempted from the title because of sin. Li Ren inherited Li Ke's title of King of Yulin County and became the Hou of Yulin County, and was appointed as the deputy mayor of Yueyang City. At this time, Li Ren is 38 years old and has been wandering for 30 years. Twenty years later, Wu Zetian was in power in the Tang Dynasty. After the defeat against Wu, Wu Zetian released the demon of cruel officials and began to slaughter imperial clan and loyal officials. To some extent, Li Ren in Luoyang may be more dangerous than Lingnan. Of course, Li Ren may not be safe in Lingnan. A few years later, when the cruel officials were most rampant, the people in Lingnan were all killed by the cruel officials. If Li Ren is still in Lingnan, it is unknown whether he can escape. During this time, Li Ren must have made a profound analysis of his own situation, knew whose hands his destiny was in, and came up with the only countermeasure to deal with the political frenzy at that time-taking refuge in Wu Zetian. As for whether it is true or not, no one knows, but Li Ren completely caters to Wu Zetian's character of exultation and compassion. "Give a few blessings" means that you often offer auspicious or strange things. Generally, you paste gold foil on pigs to pretend to be Kirin, or fake some natural phenomena. Later, Wu Sansi and others often made these things, and Wu Zetian always liked them. Including before this, Li Ren entered the sight of Wu Zetian for the first time, which should also be the result of planning. Li Rengong was away from home and did not accept bribes from local officials. At that time, Wu Zetian's eyes and informers were all over the world. I don't know where I got the news, so I'm very satisfied. I even sent someone to praise him and said, "Son, my home is thousands of miles away." Li Ren naturally took this sentence of Wu Zetian as an amulet and renamed it "Li". In addition, Li Ren, who is now called Li, gives the impression that he is "impetuous and incompetent". When he became a state secretariat, he was "ignorant of state affairs" and indifferent to official duties. Other virtuous and talented members of Li Tang's imperial clan were killed by Wu Zetian, leaving only such a person who only flatters, has no political ambition, and has no talent or virtue. It is estimated that Wu Zetian also needed to set a typical example in the royal family at that time, so Li Cai was able to survive in the dark ages and still live well. Li recorded several indecent things in the book of one in the government and one in the opposition. Li is an official in Lingnan. He caught an eight-foot snake, tied his mouth with a rope and put it at the door. When local officials came to visit him, they didn't dare to look around, so they all stepped on snakes, which would tie people up and let them go for a long time, making Li and others enjoy themselves. Animals such as turtles throw at people, and this kind of thing will not be let go. Li also watches with the concubines for fun, and it often takes a long time to let them go. But at least from these two stories, we can see that although Li doesn't respect people, he is more like a naughty boy, rather than brutally killing Wu and others, and may even be Li's self-protection strategy, which reduces Wu Zetian's guard by this self-pollution behavior. In addition, Li often voted for Wu Zetian, giving her many cherished items, and once gave Wu Zetian a tiger. Young Gao Lishi was also sent to the palace by Li from Lingnan, who won the favor of Wu Zetian. Li did this to Wu Zetian, and the leaders, courtiers and strict officials around Wu Zetian will not miss it. The Li Ke family probably fed it to these people in those days. In short, when Wu Zetian slaughtered the imperial clan at that time, all the kings, concubines, lords and Xu horses in the Tang Dynasty were not buried, and their descendants either fled to the mountain surface and were imprisoned for many years, or fled to the people to protect themselves as servants. "Li Neng lived to be emperor Wu Zetian and continued to live to the Dragon Revolution, which has to be said to be an outlier. During the Dragon Revolution and the Jinglong coup, Li acted like his grandson Wu Zetian. Li served as the secretariat of Wuzhou, appeased Lingnan, and returned to Beijing as General You Jinwu in the last two years when Wu Zetian was emperor, becoming one of the leading generals of Wu Zetian to defend the capital. At this time, Li was just sixty years old. According to Li's epitaph, during this period, Li kept in touch with those who were restricted from moving, and expressed his support and trust to him, becoming one of the most trusted people. Considering that Li Dan later gave Li * * *, it is estimated that Li also had contact with Li Dan at that time, and Li has reason to keep in touch with Li Dan, whether he is burning a cold stove or really loyal to the Li family. It is not clear what tasks were undertaken in the Jae-ryong Lee Revolution. If the epitaph is true, Li played a role in Zhang Jian and others entering the palace. After Tang Zhongzong came to power, he made Li his cousin, general and county king, and later a prince, and gave Li Ke * * * as posthumous title. In the meantime, Li may be the only person who can be trusted. At first, they were closely related by blood, and their grandfathers were both from Li Shimin. Moreover, Li also expressed his support in the most difficult time, and he is over 60 years old and has no intention of becoming king. More importantly, Li did not come from Zhang Jian or Wu Sansi. As a result, Li reached the peak of his life at this moment, not only shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting personal safety, but also enjoying the same treatment as his younger brother Li Dan, son and daughter Princess Taiping. But in just two years, he participated in another great event of Li-the Jinglong coup. At that time, in order to ensure its orthodox position, Li Xian did not liquidate Wu Zetian, but also retained the power position of Wu Sansi and others, and used Wu Sansi to eliminate Zhang Jianzhi and other heroes in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe this is the reason why Li and contradiction. Li supported the prince to arise and kill Wu Sansi. Together with his son Li Xi, the king of Tianshui County, he led dozens of people to attack the right Yanmingmen, and led the army to the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City first, almost controlling Li Xian in Tang Zhongzong. This is the second change of Xuanwu Gate in the history of Tang Dynasty-Jinglong coup. However, the coup failed. Because Li Zhongjun and others were indecisive and wasted the opportunity, Tang Zhongzong and Li Xian stood on the Xuanwu Gate and persuaded the besieged Tang Jun in a few words. The rebellion disappeared and Li Zhongjun escaped and was killed. Li and his son were killed together. Some people say they died on the spot. In short, they are dead. Later, after Tang Ruizong succeeded to the throne, although Wu Zetian was not liquidated, he gave a group of people such as Zhang Jianzhi and Li * * and restored their surnames and official titles, affirming the contribution of Li and others to the Tang Dynasty. My personal evaluation of Li's life is different from that of history books. This person is by no means incompetent, irritable and short-sighted. First of all, it was the best means of self-protection during the reign of Wu Zetian, and so was Di Renjie. Secondly, it played an important role in the Dragon Revolution and the Jinglong coup. Although not necessarily a leader, he was at least one of the planners, which promoted the changes in the political structure of the Tang Dynasty. Li Ren, Li, this man is not simple.
