Born Zhu Houzhao, he was the Hongzhi Emperor's eldest son. Zhu Houzhao took the throne at only 14 with the era name Zhengde meaning "Right virtue" or "Rectification of virtue". He was known for favoring eunuchs such as Liu Jin and became infamous for his childlike behavior. He eventually died at age 29 from an illness he contracted after drunkenly falling off a boat into the Yellow River. He left behind no sons and was succeeded by his first cousin Zhu Houcong.
even today, still there is NO english subtitles at all for this tv series........... T_T but, i think the final ending on eps 40, there is a very happy ending for ML and FL, also there is a happy ending too for the young emperor and his empress..... ^^
He isn't the Emperor. It's just saying life goes on as usual for him. His reforms are implemented successfully.
i have really really doubt about tha LYK has overcome the death of his beloved wife..... so, if he really become the emperor and still smiling about his late wife, its doesnt make sense at all......
He isn't the Emperor. It's just saying life goes on as usual for him. His reforms are implemented successfully.
so, in the final ending. eps 53, LYK it is smiling , just because his policy is succesfull, even he has not become the emperor ?? also his wife is long dead.... ?? how come is that logic and make sense .... ?? T_T
WTF, in eps 53, final ending......... why this drama tv series kill SLG, and make LYK to become the emperor ?? what the blasphemy is this ?? i much prefer, those couple, SLG and LYK is become commoner, stay far far away from the emperor.....!!
okay you have a point but just bc this is a cdrama doesn't mean it's some brain-washing government whack. don't…
i have never felt that hua mujin is annoying in this drama tv series.... because, for my self, the only and most annoying chars it is fall into hua jinxiu, song minglei, yuan feiyan, yao biying, duan yuerong........ !! ^^
why u say like that ?? i have been watch this tv series, until eps 39, all still good.... i am still wonder why…
WTF........... that premise of the original novel is much much worse than this is drama tv series .... !!! i am so glad, that storyline in this tv series is much much different than the original novel.... ^^
That was a tumultuous time in Chinese history. Parricides, filicides and fratricides were rampant. Hard to imagine…
IRL, after demoted, LYK become a local governor, but after sometime, the emperor demoted LYK to become a commoner, not an imperial prince again, after sometimes again.... the assassin from emperor, will kill LYK..... so, he died as commoner.....
1. The Xuanwu Gate Incident was a palace coup for the throne of the Tang dynasty on 2 July 626,[a] when Prince Li Shimin (Prince of Qin) and his followers assassinated Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Prince Li Yuanji (Prince of Qi). Li Shimin, the second son of Emperor Gaozu, was in an intense rivalry with his elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji. He took control and set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, the northern gate leading to the Palace City[b] of the imperial capital Chang'an. There, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were murdered by Li Shimin and his men. Within three days after the coup, Li Shimin was installed as the crown prince. Emperor Gaozu abdicated another sixty days later and passed the throne to Li Shimin, who would become known as Emperor Taizong.
2. In 630, Emperor Taizong sent his general Li Jing against the Eastern Turks, defeating and capturing their Jiali Khan Ashina Duobi and destroying their power. This made Tang the dominant power in East and Central Asia, and Emperor Taizong subsequently took the title of Tengeri Qaghan (Chinese: 天可汗; pinyin: Tiān Kěhán; Wade–Giles: T'ien K'ehan, "Tenger Khan" or the God like Emperor).[7] He also launched a series of campaigns against the oasis states of the Tarim Basin, and against the armies of their main ally, the Western Turks. During his reign, Tang armies annexed Karakhoja in 640, Karasahr in 644 and Kucha in 648.[8] Eventually, the Tang defeated and annexed the Western Gokturk khaganate after Su Dingfang defeated Qaghan Ashina Helu in 657.
3. Ishbara Khagan (Old Turkic: ????????, Ϊšbara qaγan, Chinese: 沙缽略可汗/沙钵略可汗; pinyin: shābōlüè kěhàn, personal name Ashina Helu Chinese: 阿史那賀魯/阿史那贺鲁; pinyin: āshǐnà hèlǔ - ) (ruled 651–658) was the last khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate.
4. After being captured he reportedly told Xiao Siya:[9] I am a defeated slave. Former emperor (Taizong) supported me and awarded richly. Alas, I turned my back on him and rebelled. My defeat today is result of Heaven's anger and punishment. What could I say! I heard according to Han customs, criminals are executed in capital. My wish is to die in Zhaoling and ask forgiveness from former emperor.
Emperor Gaozong spared him after 15 days and he lived out his days at the Tang capital Chang'an. He was buried near Illig Qaghan's memorial.
5. Emperor Gaozong of Tang (21 July 628[3] – 27 December 683[4]), personal name Li Zhi, was the third emperor of the Tang dynasty in China, ruling from 649 to 683 (although after January 665 Imperial powers was primarily in the hands of his powerful second wife Empress Wu, later known as Wu Zetian). Emperor Gaozong was the son of Emperor Taizong and Empress Zhangsun.
Emperor Gaozong was aided in his rule by Empress Wu during the later years of his reign after a series of strokes left him incapacitated. Emperor Gaozong delegated all matters of state to his Strong wife and Empress Wu is therefore unique in the annals of the Tang Empire for the political influence she wielded. After Emperor Gaozong died in 683, power fell completely and solely into the hands of Empress Wu, who subsequently became the only Empress regnant in Chinese history. After his death, he was interred at the Qianling Mausoleum along with Wu Zetian.
Historians have generally viewed Emperor Gaozong as a weak ruler, inattentive to the business of the state and leaving such business to his powerful wife Empress Wu. During the first part of his reign, Tang territorial gains, which started with his father Emperor Taizong, continued, including the conquest of Baekje, Goguryeo, and the Western Turkic Khaganate, but throughout the 670s, much of those gains were lost to the Tibetan Empire, Silla, Khitan, and Balhae. Further, territory previously conquered that belonged to both the Göktürks and the Western Turkic Khaganate were subjected to repeated rebellions.
