the life of princess Yongtai
Li Xianhui, the seventh daughter of princess Tang Zhongzong of Yongtai, whose mother is Wei Ruyun, is gorgeous, dignified and free from vulgarity, "the flower of peaches and plums is inferior to shame", intelligent and knowledgeable. Zhongzong likes her very much. In the second year of the holy calendar, Zhongzong was re-established as a prince. In the second year, on September 6th, the first year, Li Xianhui was named the princess of Yongtai, and there were 1,5 food cities. Wang married Yanji, son of Wu. Dazu, his brother Li Zhongrun and his husband Wu Yanji met Wu Zetian in Zhang Yizhi, Toy Boy, and were killed by Wu Hou. According to the epitaph, the second day after the incident, Li Xianhui, who was pregnant, died of dystocia. But historical records such as Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Old Tang Shu, New Tang Shu, etc. It is recorded that the monarch of Yongtai also died of sitting sin. After the restoration of Zhongzong, Li Xianhui was posthumously named Princess Yongtai and changed to a burial style, with Tomb No.1 as the tomb. In September 196, the epitaph of Princess Yongtai was unearthed. She is the only princess whose tomb is called "Ling" in the history of China, and her specifications are equivalent to those of an emperor.
The life of the princess is clearly recorded in the Unearthed Epitaph of Princess Yongtai of Tang Dynasty:' The great-grandson of Emperor Yao, the great-grandson of Emperor Taizong, the grandson of the emperor, and the seventh daughter of the emperor'. What I don't understand is who is the princess's biological mother? Is it the concubine of the harem or the queen Wei? In On the Death of Princess Yongtai, Zeng Liren thought that Princess Yongtai was born to Hou Wei, but he did not make a concrete argument. The book Princess Yongtai and Princess Yongtai's Tomb, co-authored by Bai Genxing and Yingfeng Fan, is the first monograph on princess Yongtai in China. Through the records of various documents, it demonstrates in detail the fact that princess Yongtai was born for Hou Wei.
Princess Yongtai was a member of the royal family when she was born in Tang Zhou, but due to internal changes in the Tang Dynasty, she spent her childhood as a civilian in remote Zhou Jun and Zhoufang. At the age of 14, the Yongtai family was recalled by Empress Wu Zetian. Because of their father Li Xian's delicate position, Yongtai brothers and sisters have ushered in a life of aristocratic life, but the political situation is unpredictable, and they are also facing a series of unpredictable unknowns. With the growth of age, Yongtai has entered the marriageable age. For political reasons, in September of the first year of Changshi, Yongtai married Wang, her heir for hundreds of years, to Yanji. Therefore, the newly married Yongtai couple in Runhe, Jong Li, became the spokesmen of the new generation of Li and Wu families. Later, they talked about Zhang's evil deeds and angered the queen. A tragedy was announced.

Anecdote of Princess Yongtai
More than a thousand years later, the first person who entered the tomb suddenly found a frightening scene: at the end of the tomb, there was a dead man's skeleton sitting askew on the wall. It is generally believed that he was a grave robber because there was a big hole in the upper part of the deceased and it was blocked. The framed grave robber died here, but there was still a hole in the wall. However, people who like romantic mourning are willing to believe another statement: when this skeleton was first discovered, there was a tortoise shell engraved with "Min, Yongtai, forever and ever". Later, it was not clear where some bones of Tortoise Shell and Princess Yongtai were lost. This is not a pile of scary bones, but a handsome, talented and spoony man named, the cousin of the Tang Dynasty poet Song. Song was very talented. He ingratiated himself with the Zhang brothers and even served a drowning pot and a urinal, so he was very appreciated by Wu Zetian. Because his cousin, Song Zhimin, met Miss Li Xianhui. At that time, she was still a monarch, because her father was rejected by Wu Zetian and demoted to the king of Luling. This love could have been a beautiful marriage, but Li Xianhui was suddenly promoted to a princess, and her favorite Song Zhimin naturally did not deserve her noble status. After Princess Yongtai got married, Song Zhimin spent two years in mourning and sadness. Suddenly I heard that Princess Yongtai was killed! He found the grave, dug a hole and went down. He doesn't eat or drink all day. He just sat in the grave, looking as if he were dead both physically and mentally. His kind friend had to seal the hole and bury it, thus fulfilling the spoony man who wanted to live and die with Princess Yongtai. Think of this story as a legend! There is no legendary history, which is really frustrating and boring. See Shang Ailan's "Chinese Princess" and "I saw something I shouldn't have seen-Princess Yongtai".
