Historical background:
Among the successors of the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the then central leader Li Jing swore in front of the throne of his great ancestor Li Min that "brothers will eventually succeed to each other", that is, he would pass the throne to his younger brother Jing Sui. However, because Li Yu's brother Hongyi, Li Jing's eldest son, had made military exploits at that time, he made Hongyi the crown prince, and the matter of "brothers to eventually succeeding to younger brothers" was not mentioned for many years. However, the personalities of Li Yu's brother Hongyi and his father Li Jing are very different. Hongyi is decisive and resolute, and has a strong desire for power, so he always dissatisfied Li Jing, who is now the emperor. Li Jing then thinks of the incident between his brother and his brother. Li Hongyi was worried that his father would abide by his oath and pass the throne to his uncle, so he secretly killed his uncle Jing Sui. Despite this, Li Hongji still failed to become emperor. Why? Because history is history after all. He was so obsessed with becoming emperor that he followed his uncle a few months after his death.
Then Li Yu followed the overall situation and took over the mess of the Later Tang Dynasty and became emperor.
