Emperor Ruizong of Tang
Emperor Ruizong of Tang (22 June 662 – 13 July 716), personal name Li Dan, also known at times during his life as Li Xulun, Li Lun, Wu Lun, and Wu Dan, was the fifth and ninth emperor of Tang Dynasty.
He was the eighth son of Emperor Gaozong and the fourth son of Emperor Gaozong's second wife Empress Wu
(During the first period, he did not rule the, and the entire government
In the hands of to his mother, Empress Wu, later as Wu Zetian Is known Was).
In February 684, Li Dan's mother Empress Wu demoted his older brother Emperor Zhongzong
(Li Xian) who had attempted to rule free of his mother, and named him emperor (as Emperor Ruizong).
Emperor Ruizong, however, was a puppet under control of his mother and did not have any real power.
In October 690 he ceded the imperial throne to his mother, who installed herself as empress regnant – the only woman in Chinese history ever to rule as empress regnant.
Emperor Ruizong was reduced to the position of crown prince, with the unconventional title of "Huangsi" (皇嗣, "imperial successor").
In the following years, Empress Wu's nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi tried to have one of them named heir to the throne, but Wu Zetian resisted these calls.
Eventually, in October 698, faced with foreign invasion and dissatisfaction at home, Empress Wu accepted the suggestion of the chancellor Di Renjie and recalled the exiled Li Xian to the capital Luoyang.
Soon, Li Dan offered to yield the position of crown prince to his elder brother, and Li Xian became crown prince instead.
In 705, a coup overthrew Wu Zetian and restored Emperor Zhongzong to the throne.
The five years of Emperor Zhongzong's reign were dominated by Zhongzong's empress consort, Empress Wei.
In the beginning of July 710, Emperor Zhongzong died, allegedly poisoned by Empress Wei who then named Zhongzong's youngest son Li Chongmao the Prince of Wen emperor (as Emperor Shang).
A mere two weeks later, Li Dan's sister Princess Taiping and Li Dan's son Li Longji
the Prince of Linzi launched a coup which resulted in the death of Empress Wei.
Princess Taiping, Li Longji, and Li Longji's brother Li Chengqi
the Prince of Song then persuaded Li Dan to take the throne himself, and he agreed, returning to the throne in Emperor Shang's stead.
Li Longji, although not the oldest son, was made crown prince on account of his accomplishments.
Soon, however, tensions between Princess Taiping, who had many supporters, and Li Longji mounted.
Eventually, in September 712, Emperor Ruizong, believing that astrological signs called for a change of emperors, abdicated in favor of Li Longji (as Emperor Xuanzong).
However, at Princess Taiping's suggestion, Emperor Ruizong, now carrying the title of "Taishang Huang" (retired emperor), continued to wield actual power.
However, in 713, suspecting Princess Taiping of planning a coup, Emperor Xuanzong acted first, killing her associates and forcing her to commit suicide.
After the death of Princess Taiping, Emperor Ruizong himself yielded imperial powers to Emperor Xuanzong and left the governmental scene.
He died in 716.
