Li Shimin’s third daughter, Princess Nanping, has an unknown date of birth. Her first husband has a lot of origins
During the Tang Dynasty, many important ministers and the royal family had joint marriages. In what can be called a kinship relationship, Li Shimin married Princess Nanping to Wang Jingzhi, the child of Wang Gui of the Wang family in Qixian County. Li Shimin's biological aunt, Princess Tong'an, was also married to the Cheng family in Qixian County. Li Zhi's Queen Wang originated from the Cheng family in Qi County.
Wang Gui was implicated by his cousin in the late Sui Dynasty and fled to Zhongnan Mountain to hide. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he became a confidant of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng. When Yang Wen did something, Wang Gui was exiled to Sizhou and Xuanwumen. After the revolution, Li Shimin came to power, was recalled to the court by Li Shimin, and later became Li Tai's teacher. I say all this to better lay the groundwork for what’s to come!
When Princess Nanping got married, according to ancient etiquette, Nanping belonged to the bride and she had to visit her parents-in-law. Because this etiquette was abolished in the Han Dynasty, the princess no longer follows it! But Wang Gui insisted that Nanping abide by this etiquette, and said, "Li Shimin is wise and powerful, and respects etiquette in everything."
When I was visited by the princess, it was not to show off better, but to be better. After being satisfied with our country, Wang Gui took his seat at the host table and ordered Nanping to perform a ceremony for him. The meaning of this ancient ceremony is that as soon as the bride enters the house, the ceremony will be recognized or accepted by her husband's family. Continued Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Volume Chapter 194: It was the empress princess who started to perform maternal rituals since Gui.
At this point, I will say a few words. Since this ancient ritual has been abolished long ago, Wang Gui did it. What is the effect? ??This has something to do with Li Shimin's attack on the wealthy families, and it also has something to do with the fact that the princess of the Tang Dynasty was worried about getting married. It also had something to do with the fact that he would suppress the princess or show his power! The public opinion at that time also felt that it was right. Li Shimin felt very good about it. From then on, the princess always did that when she came in.
This incident also affected the relationship between father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! When Wang Gui was seriously ill, Li Shimin gave a professional order and Princess Nanping went to visit Wang Gui. It was also confirmed from the side that Nanping had been living in the princess's house and had a poor relationship with her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Like Princess Xiangcheng, she did not live in her husband's house. In 643, the crown prince Li Chengqian's rebellion failed. Wang Jingzhi was implicated and exiled to Lingnan because of his association with Li Chengqian. Nanping and Wang Jingzhi ended their relationship and later married Liu Xuanyi, the child of Liu Zhenghui, the founder of the Tang Dynasty. .
When we get married in modern society, sometimes during the wedding banquet, whether men or women raise unreasonable questions, the relationship will be bad. Look at the past to know the present, and negotiate well before marriage. Hey, if you have a wedding again, don’t make trouble during the entire wedding banquet. It will cause great harm to others and yourself.
