李重俊 / Li Chongjun

Overview

Li Chongjun enters the wiki through Hanji 536-3 as the crown prince whose failed coup kills 武三思 and nearly reaches 上官婉儿. The episode uses him as the shock that pushes Shangguan Wan’er away from Wu-Wei reliance and toward Li-Tang fallback planning.

Current Profile

The source says Li Chongjun was bullied by Wu Sansi’s family and Princess Anle, then launched a coup that killed Wu Sansi and his son. His troops then moved to arrest Shangguan Wan’er. She fled to 李显 and framed the threat as escalating from herself to the empress and emperor; Zhongzong’s public response helped break the coup, and Li Chongjun was killed by his own men.

Key Characteristics

• Crown prince whose resentment against Wu Sansi and Princess Anle turns into coup action.
• Kills Wu Sansi and his son in the episode’s account.
• Threatens Shangguan Wan’er directly because of her connection to the Wu-Wei faction.
• His failed coup teaches Shangguan Wan’er that her current patron network may not protect her next time.
• Serves as the hinge between Shangguan Wan’er’s Wu-Wei alliance and Li-Tang fallback strategy.

Evidence
