Li Hong
Li Hong () (652 – 25 May 675), formally
Emperor Xiaojing (孝敬皇帝, literally, "the filial and respectful emperor") with the
temple name of
Yizong (義宗), was a
crown prince (not emperor, despite his formal title) of the
Chinese Tang dynasty. He was the fifth son of
Emperor Gaozong and the oldest son of his second wife
Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian), and he was made the crown prince in 656. As he grew older, he often came in conflict with his ambitious and powerful mother Empress Wu, and it is commonly believed by traditional historians that she poisoned him to death in 675. His father Emperor Gaozong, then still reigning, posthumously honored him with an imperial title.
