Li Chongmao was the only surviving son of Emperor Zhongzong, born to one of Zhongzong's concubines. Zhongzong's empress consort, Empress Wei (韋皇后), failed to convince her husband to name the daughter she had had with him, Princess Anle (安樂公主), as heir to the throne, and so she allegedly poisoned him in July 710. She then arranged for Li Chongmao to succeed Zhongzong as emperor, hoping to control the young teenager as she had controlled the weak Zhongzong. Zhongzong (656-710) was fourth and seventh Emperor of the Tang Dynasty of China, ruling briefly in 684 and again from 705 to 710. ... // Events End of the Asuka period, the second and last part of the Yamato period and beginning of the Nara period in Japan. ...

Her plans, however, were foiled when Princess Taiping, the sister of Zhongzong, launched a coup a mere two weeks after Li Chongmao's enthronement, with the help of her nephew Li Longji (later Emperor Xuanzong), son of the abdicated Emperor Ruizong, himself younger brother of Emperor Zhongzong and Princess Taiping. Both Empress Wei and Princess Anle were murdered during the coup, and on July 25 the young emperor was forced to cede the imperial throne to his uncle Ruizong who was unwillingly restored as emperor.

Li Chongmao, who had been emperor for only 17 days, was reverted to a princely rank and sent away from the capital. He died four years later without having been allowed to return to the capital. Immediately after his death, Emperor Xuanzong, who had by then succeeded his father Ruizong, restored Li Chongmao's imperial dignity and gave him the posthumous name Shang which literally means "passed away at an early age", "lived a short life without much accomplishment". Li Chongmao is known by historians as Emperor Shao, which literally means "the young emperor". Most traditional historians do not consider him as a legitimate emperor and do not include him in the list of emperors of the Tang dynasty, although modern historians usually do.
