Li Ning (李寧) (793–February 7, 812[1]), briefly known as Li Zhou (李宙) in 809, formally Prince Crown Huizhao (惠昭太子), was a crown prince of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty during the reign of his father Emperor Xianzong.
Background
Li Ning was born in 793, when his father Emperor Xianzong was the Prince of Guangling, during the reign of his great-grandfather Emperor Dezong, as Li Chun's oldest son.[2] His mother was Li Chun's concubine Lady Ji. After Emperor Dezong's death in 805, Li Ning's grandfather Li Song became emperor (as Emperor Shunzong),[3] and, as a grandson of the emperor, Li Ning was created the Prince of Pingyuan.[2] Later in the year, Emperor Shunzong, who was seriously ill, passed the throne to Li Chun (as Emperor Xianzong).[3] In 806, Emperor Xianzong created a number of his sons greater princely titles, and Li Ning was created the Prince of Deng. In 809, with a number of imperial scholars, led by Li Jiang, requesting that Emperor Xianzong create a crown prince, Emperor Xianzong created Li Ning crown prince.[4]
