Wu Zetian, the favorite woman of Emperor Taizong, can't even touch the edge.
The eldest grandson queen Guanyin maid was born in Luoyang, Henan Province. Her ancestors were the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, her father was Xiao Wei Sun Sheng, the right general of the Sui Dynasty, and her mother was the daughter of Gao Jingde, a famous family and Yangzhou secretariat. Gao Shilian, the uncle of the queen's eldest grandson, is a celebrity in the Zhenguan era. The eldest grandson of the queen lost his father at the age of eight and was raised by his uncle Gao Shilian.
The queen's grandson met a fortune teller when he was a child and predicted that she would be "expensive" in the future. When he was thirteen, his grandson married Li Shimin and became a princess of Qin. She is gentle and virtuous, generous and witty, and is very popular with concubines in the Tang and Yuan Dynasties. Out of love for their eldest grandson, they spoke a lot of good words for Li Shimin in front of Tang Gaozu, which made Tang Gaozu look at Li Shimin with new eyes among all scholars. It can be seen that the lady route has a long history in China!
In the last few years of Li De's struggle, Empress, Qi Xin and Fang assisted. The change of the Xuanmen, in the harem, Li Shimin only brought the eldest grandson queen. She personally comforted the soldiers and won Li Shimin's heart. After 13 days in office, Li Shimin awarded the title of Grandson Queen.
In the life of husband and wife, the eldest grandson left three men and four women: Prince Li Chenggan, Wang Tai and Li Zhi; Female: Princess Changle, Princess Chengyang, Princess jinyang princess, Princess Xincheng.
Empress Grandson is good at learning lessons, correcting Li Shimin's political mistakes, protecting her loyal subjects, and giving Li Shimin a lot of useful help politically.
On his deathbed, his eldest grandson and Emperor Taizong bid farewell to each other and mentioned state affairs. At that time, he was condemned by Emperor Taizong for some reason, and his eldest grandson said, "Ling Xuan has been your majesty for the longest time. He is cautious, strategic and secretive. They have all heard of him beforehand. I didn't miss a word, and it didn't make any sense. I hope you don't dislike it. " He also arranged his own funeral: "Sages have been thrifty since ancient times. When they are helpless, they climb high and look far, running around the world and being laughed at by people of insight. However, if buried in the mountains, there is no need for graves and coffins are useless. The clothes you want are made of wood, so you won't forget your concubine. " I was only thirty-six when the speech ended!
Li Shimin was very sad when her grandson's queen died. When he saw his eldest grandson buried, he ordered someone to build a house on the plank road outside the palace, and ordered an imperial envoy to live in it and serve the queen's memorial tablet like a living person. An extremely rare example of supporting the dead is the first case in Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also set up a high platform in the palace, so that he can often stand there and look at the tomb of the eldest grandson, and see how infatuated he is. Unfortunately, Wei Zhi didn't understand amorous feelings, so he only advised Li Shimin to dismantle the tower. It is recorded in the history books: "Empress Wende was buried, and after the emperor read it, he made a view in the garden to see Zhaoling." This sincerity to love is touching.
Under the persuasion of Wei Zhi, Gaotai and the Seventh Society were finally dissolved, but Taizong's yearning for his beloved wife did not stop. On the contrary, it became more and more turbulent and difficult to control, so that in an imperial edict, I publicly told the minister about my wife's grief after her death: "Over the years, I have been extremely troubled and lacked love, which has brought a lot of harm and sadness. Among all sentient beings, who wins is sad, and the age order moves repeatedly, which is shocking and devastating. Since birth, I have been stunned, forgotten, and stayed up all night. " It can be said that it is a word of blood and tears, and I can't help but sigh after reading it.
Li Shimin, such a strong man, ever shed tears? Heroes don't cry easily just because they haven't reached the sad place yet. There are only three women there.
The blooming peach blossom seems to have stolen her rosy cheeks, and the willow branches under the eaves seem to have learned her lithe figure.
She wandered among the flowers, watching butterflies flying and listening to orioles singing in the branches.
Why should I ask you that you are deep in the forest? You are famous for being outstanding and romantic.
The eldest grandson left in the history books is a virtuous and dignified woman. In this poem, the eldest grandson is a lively woman, a happy woman who has been loved by the emperor's husband for three thousand years. She proudly declared that "there is no need to ask questions in the depths of the forest. She is outstanding, romantic and famous. " She doesn't need publicity, and her reputation has spread far away. Because she knows that in her husband's heart, she will always be a blooming peony!
In the love life of Tang Taizong in his later years, there was another woman who was also a charming woman, and that was Xu Hui, a talented woman in the harem. Xu Hui was Li Shimin's favorite concubine in his later years. In Li Shi's mind, Xuhui's position is second only to that of the eldest grandson.
Xu Hui is a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, the daughter of Xu Xiaode, the secretariat of Zhou State. Xu Hui liked poetry when she was a child. At the age of eight, she was able to talk fluently and write beautifully, which was quite standard.
Once, her father, Xu Xiaode, wanted to test her literary talent, so he wrote a song named Li Sao in the name of Qu Yuan's daughter. Xuhui found a pen and paper, and soon it became a spring outing song: "I hope you rock and caress Gui Zhi for meditation;" I want to meet you for a thousand years, and I want to go alone. " This little poem is full of love and emotion, which shows the reverence and admiration of the Hui people in Xiao Xu for Qu Yuan's noble character. At the age of eleven, Xu Hui's talent was well known and spread to the Jiangnan court thousands of miles away. Li Shimin heard his name and admitted that he was a talented person.
Xuhui entered the palace at the age of eleven. First, he became the last talented person among the concubines. Soon, he was named Jie Yu, and soon he rose to the third place. There are more books in this palace than anywhere else. As soon as Xu Hui entered the palace, she eagerly read literary classics. In a few years, he has finished reading the books in the palace, and his knowledge and insight have also improved rapidly. Li Shimin is a man with good taste. He is very demanding of the women around him. Seeing that Xuhui was so eager to learn, he was also very happy and took care of her. Xuhui gave Li Shimin a lot of happiness.
On one occasion, Li Shimin sent someone to call Xu Hui to see himself. He was in high spirits, but as a result, Xu Hui didn't come. After waiting for a long time, Li Shimin didn't see the shadow of Xu Hui, and his kindness turned into anger. When Xu Huishan arrived, she saw Li Shimin's cold face at a glance. Knowing Li Shimin's unhappiness, she smiled and wrote a poem in front of Li Shimin:
When you look in the mirror, your makeup will not disappear.
Daughter can come as soon as she smiles.
This poem is proud and feminine. Both girls are intelligent and affectionate, charming and lovely, and intellectual women are lonely and self-respecting. This poem is a Zhunshan article that later earned Li Sao Yuan. After reading it, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
Although Li Shimin dotes on Xu Hui, there are many beauties in the harem. After all, Li Shimin can't concentrate all her feelings on her alone. As one of many concubines in the harem, Xu Hui often suffers from falling out of favor. The following song expresses her concern for the whole Tang Dynasty:
The terrace used to be an old love, and Zhaoyang Temple has a new favorite beauty.
I scrupulously abide by this duty and refuse to get on the exquisite car and the king's walk; I burst into tears and sang the sad song of the fan.
Once endowed with a new talent for singing and dancing, the old books of the old man become humble.
The favor of the past has been completely cut off, and the old people who have fallen out of favor are hard to please, just like spilled water.
It turned out to be a poem by Yuefu. Refers to the palace where Emperor Wu abandoned Empress Chen and asked her to abdicate, which is equivalent to a cold palace. Later, scholars chose Nagato Palace to refer to the residence of fallen concubines. Xu Hui wrote this poem, saying that Ban Jieyu was snubbed by Emperor Han Chengdi, but it also showed that she had a heart.
In the twenty-third year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, Li Shimin died and Xu Hui was blocked.
The emperor appreciated Xu Hui's virtue and ordered her to be a "virtuous princess". According to Xu Hui's wishes, she was buried in Zhaoling. Besides her eldest grandson, she is the closest concubine to Emperor Taizong, fulfilling her wish of "serving the late emperor day and night". She was also the only concubine in Emperor Taizong who was handed down by her eldest grandson. Before the death of Emperor Taizong, the imperial edict made all the childless concubines in the harem become monks. The talented Wu Zetian is among them, but Xu Hui is an exception.
