Life of the characters
Early experience
Li Xian, whose real name is Li Chengqi, is the eldest son of Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty. He was brilliant in his youth. As an adult, he was proficient in music, especially in kuci movement of western regions.
In the early years of Emperor Gaozong's accession to the throne, Li Chengqi was granted the title of Yongping County King. In the first year of civilization (684), he became the crown prince. He was only six years old at that time. After Li Dan was demoted to the throne, Wu Zetian appointed Li Chengqi as the emperor's grandson. On the same day as his five younger brothers, he left the imperial court to become a vassal of the feudal land, set up the government department, and set up his subordinates.
Longevity two years (693), renamed Shouchun Jun Wang. Chang'an (701-704) years, transferred to Zuo zanshan doctor, and add Yin Qing Guanglu doctor. After Li Xian ascended the throne, he changed Li Chengqi to King Cai, and was promoted to the rank of chief minister of waizong. He added 400 families to the original 700 families. Li Chengqi resolutely declined, saying that he could not afford to be granted the capital of a big country, and that he was still granted the title of Shouchun.
Farewell to the crown prince
In the first year of Jingyun (710), Jin granted Li Chengqi the title of king of song. In the same month, Li Dan ascended the throne again, and Li Chengqi conferred the post of general Zuowei. At that time, Li Chengqi was the eldest son, and Li Longji (Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), the king of Ping, had made great contributions to appease Wei, so it was not decided for a long time. Li Chengqi gave way and said: "the crown prince is the position of the country. In the time of peace, his eldest son is the first. In the time of national calamity, he should be meritorious. If it is not handled properly, we will be disappointed at home and abroad. This is not an auspicious thing for the country. I dare to die and ask not to make me a prince. " Li Chengqi weeps all day and refuses to give in. His words are sincere. At that time, the kings and ministers also said that Li Longji had made great contributions to the country and was suitable to be the crown prince. Li Dan appreciated Li Chengqi's intention and agreed.
Li Longji took Li Chengqi as his eldest brother, and once again made a concession. Li Dan refused, so he issued an imperial edict: "the great general of Zuowei and the king of song Chengqi are my eldest son, who should have been my crown prince. But Li Longji, the third son, has made great contributions to the country, and people and gods can see it. Therefore, I sincerely give up my position, and I will do what I say. The Great Duke of the world is sincere. According to the wishes of heaven and man, Longji was established as the crown prince, and the finished utensils were the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of Yangzhou, the prince and the grand master. In addition, 2000 households were granted with five thousand colored silks, 20 fine horses, 10 slaves, one large residential area and 30 hectares of fertile land. " In November of the same year, he was worshipped by Zuo pushe, and soon he was appointed as situ, grand master and governor. The next year, Li Chengqi resigned as situ, paid homage to the prince's guests and served as governor of Yangzhou.
At that time, Princess Taiping had another plot in secret. Yao Chong and song Jing asked Li Chengqi and Shen King Li Chengyi to be appointed as assassins to break the hearts of those who had misdemeanors. Therefore, Li Chengqi became a situ and a Puzhou assassin. Li Longji once made a quilt and pillow, and will share the affection of brothers with Li Chengqi and others. Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, was very happy to learn about it and greatly praised it.
He's a favorite
In August of the first year of Xianxian (712), Li Longji ascended the throne for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqi was granted the title of Sikong in Jin Dynasty. After Li Longji appeased Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi, and others, Li Chengqi was promoted to the position of Taiwei, and still served as governor of Yangzhou City, with a further 1000 households. More than a month later, Kaifu Yi, the third division, Taiwei and the governor of Yangzhou were given the post of the governor.
In the early years of Kaiyuan (713), he served as governor of Qizhou and Kaifu as before.
In the fourth year of Kaiyuan (716), he avoided Zhaocheng and changed his name to Xian. He was granted the title of King Ning and 5500 households. He served as the governor of Zejing Prefecture.
Brotherhood
At the beginning, the Xuanzong brothers moved out of the palace in the first year of the holy calendar (698) and lived together in a separate courtyard, named Wuwang house.
In the first year of Dazu (701), she went to Chang'an with Empress Wu Zetian and gave the house in xingqingfang, also known as Wuwang house. After the year of congenitally, xingqingfang was the residence where Li Longji lived, so it became a palace. Li Xian gave the house in the southeast corner of Shengye, Li Yu, King Shen, and Li Fan, king Qi, gave the house in the southeast corner of anxingfang, and Li Ye, King Xue, gave the house in the northwest corner of Shengye. The house faces each other and surrounds the palace. Li Longji set up a building in the southwest of xingqingfang. On the west side, it is titled with the building of the flower calyx; on the south side, it is titled with the building of diligent administration. Li Longji often went upstairs and heard the music of the princes' houses, so he called them to their houses for banquets. Sometimes he personally went to their houses and gave them money and silk to give them the greatest happiness and reward. The princes met at the side door every day. After returning to their houses, they ate wine and had fun, beat shuttlecock and cockfighting, or went to the suburbs to chase birds and animals, or played in villas. Wherever you go, the Chinese envoys look at each other. They all think that the friendship between the emperor's brothers is incomparable in ancient times, and there is no barrier between them.
Li Longji's friendship with his brothers is very deep. Even if there is slander to sow dissension, his friendship is as good as ever. Li Xian is especially respectful, modest and careful. He never discusses current affairs or makes friends with others. Li Longji also believes and values it. Li Longji once wrote to him and Li Fan, king of Qi, saying: "in the past, there was a poem by Emperor Wen of Wei that said," no matter how high the west mountain is, there is no limit to its height. There are two fairies who neither drink nor eat. Give me a pill. It's colorful. Four or five days after taking the medicine, the body is free of its wings. " Every time I want to take medicine, where can I catch up with my brothers. Chen Siwang (Cao Zhi) has the talent of Superman, can assist the national affairs, but does not let him appear in court to pay homage, eventually makes him worried to death. What is the effect of Shenwan? Shun is a great sage. He doesn't remember his brother Xiang's evil deeds and is close to the nine nationalities. The nine nationalities are harmonious and the people keep discipline and peace. This is the emperor's code of conduct. It has been thousands of years since today, and people all over the world have embarked on the good way. When I think about this, I forget to eat and sleep, and I sigh. Some time ago, because I had a little spare time, I chose the immortal Scripture and found this divine prescription. It is said that "if you take it, you will find it.". If we take this medicine today, I hope our brothers will live a long life together and there will be no limit. "
In 722, Li Xian was the Minister of Taichang. In the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan (727), he ceased to be the Minister of Taichang, and was still the third division of Kaifu Yitong. In the 21st year of Kaiyuan (734), he also paid homage to Taiwei.
In the winter of the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), Li Xian was ill in bed, and Li Longji ordered his envoy to deliver medicine and rare food. Monk Chongyi treats Li Xian's illness and gradually gets better. Li Longji is very happy. He gives monk Chongyi a fish bag and a reward. At that time, Shen Wang and others had passed away, only Li Xian was alone, and Li Longji paid special attention to them. Every year when I come to Li Xian's birthday, I will personally celebrate it and have fun together. After a few days, we will give wine, cheese and rare delicacies. As long as you eat what you feel delicious, you will give it to Li Xian immediately. Li xianzeng's playing list is sorted out at the end of the year and kept in the Museum of history, with hundreds of pages each year.
Death
In the winter of the 29th year of Kaiyuan (741), Chang'an, the capital city, was very cold, and the trees were covered with frost. At that time, scholars believed that the "rain and ice" mentioned in the spring and Autumn Annals was such a situation, also known as Shujie. They said that it was like Jiezhou. Seeing this, Li Xian sighed: "this is what the people call Shujia. The proverb says:" Shujia is afraid of officials. " There must be a minister to bear the disaster. I'm afraid I'm going to die. " On November 21 of the same year (January 5, 742), he died at the age of 63.
When Li Longji knew the news of his death, he cried bitterly and covered his tears. The next day, Li Longji issued an imperial edict in memory of his noble character and posthumous title as emperor rang.
Li Li, the eldest son of Li Xian, the king of Ruyang, made a plea to state his father's intention. Li Longji did not allow him to be an emperor. On the day of canonization, a set of royal clothes was put out in the inner palace, and a handwritten letter sent to Li Longji by Gao Lishi, the general of the right prison, was placed in front of the throne, which was called "longjibai". The yuan family, the imperial concubine of the constitution, was also presented as empress Gong, who was buried in the side of the bridge mausoleum. At the time of burial, Li Longji sent an envoy to inform Li Li and others that they must be thrifty and that they should not have special things for the dead. Pei Yaoqing said: "there are more than a thousand kinds of delicacies. The bottles of each color are not seasonal items. Every time the grace of heaven declared that the emperor was used to it, and that he should be thrifty and frugal. I'm afraid that all the things he added to the ceremony would make the emperor uneasy. I hope we can reduce the cost according to the etiquette. " Li Longji obeyed, and when he was carrying out the coffin at the funeral, it was raining heavily. Li Longji sent Li Tan, king of Qing, to walk ten miles in the mud and named his tomb Huiling.
There are records in the old book of Tang, liezhuan 45, Ruizong Zhuzi and the new book of Tang, liezhuan 6, sanzong Zhuzi.
