Li Ke
Li Ke (; 619 – 10 March 653), posthumously known as the
Prince of Yùlín (鬱林王), often known by his greater title as the
Prince of Wú (吳王), was an imperial prince of the
Tang dynasty. As a highly honored son of
Emperor Taizong, he was one time considered a possible candidate as
crown prince after both his older brother
Li Chengqian and younger brother
Li Tai were both deposed in 643, but eventually, his younger brother
Li Zhi, as a son of Emperor Taizong's wife
Empress Zhangsun, was created crown prince and inherited the throne after Emperor Taizong's death in 649 (as Emperor Gaozong), under the insistence of Li Zhi's uncle and Emperor Taizong's brother-in-law
Zhangsun Wuji. Zhangsun, however, detested Li Ke, and in 653, he implicated Li Ke in a plot by the official Fang Yi'ai (房遺愛) and had Emperor Gaozong order Li Ke to commit suicide.
