On February 6, the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, in Yongxingfang, Chang'an, Mrs. Gao gave birth to their second child and only daughter, Guanyin Maiden, to her husband Changsun Sheng.

In the ninth year of Daye, the 12-year-old Zhangsun married Li Shimin. After the marriage, the eldest son returned to Yongxingfang to visit relatives. Zhang, the concubine of her uncle Gao Shilian, saw a tall horse with a tight saddle in the place where the eldest son lived.

When everything was ready, he told his husband about it, so Gao Shilian asked someone to do a divination. The divination person said: "This girl is beyond words." As expected, Li Yuan came to Chang'an not long after.

He proclaimed himself emperor, changed the military virtues of the Yuan Dynasty, named his second son Li Shimin the King of Qin, and named his wife, the eldest Sun, the Princess of Qin.

In the second year of Wude, the eldest son of Qin Princess Changsun and Li Shimin was born in Chengqian Hall, so he named it Li Chengqian after this hall.

However, Cheng Qian has the meaning of inheriting the imperial business and taking charge of the world. Therefore, although these two words are the name of a palace, they have a profound meaning when used as a personal name. Therefore, the name "Cheng Qian" should be regarded as Tang Gaozu's grandson's relative.

Give.

In the third year of Wude, Changsun gave birth to a second son for Li Shimin, named Li Tai.

In June of the same year, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were canonized as Prince of Hengshan and Yidu respectively.

In the fourth year of Wude, the eldest grandson gave birth to a daughter for Li Shimin, named Lizhi - it is hard to give up on natural beauty. From this name alone, you can imagine Li Shimin's love for this precious daughter.

In the same year, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty named Li Taijin, the king of Yidu County, the King of Wei, and granted him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom to succeed Li Yuanba.

Originally, as the legitimate second son of King Qin, Li Tai's future title was originally the highest rank of a county king. However, Li Yuan made him a first-rank king of Wei (rather than a descendant of the first rank) and granted him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom.

This is a great favor for Li Shimin's family.

On July 10th of this year, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty abolished the five baht coins and issued Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty specifically allowed Li Shimin to cast three furnaces of money by himself. According to Zheng Qian, a minister at the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Ouyang Xun presented the wax sample, Princess Sun accidentally left a trace of her fingernail on the wax sample.

So after the casting of Kaiyuan Tongbao was completed, there was a trace of "drawing text" on it.

In the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin appointed Changsun Jiaqing, Changsun's nephew and grandson of Changsun Chi, as the attendant of his eldest son Li Chengqian.

In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty moved Li Chengqian, the king of Hengshan County, to the title of Zhongshan County King.

After Li Shimin pacified Wang Shichong, he appointed two Confucian masters, Lu Deming and Kong Yingda, as eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and ordered them to teach Li Chengqian Confucian classics. In the same year, Li Shimin also appointed another nephew of the Changsun family, who was also the compatriot of Changsun Jiaqing.

The younger brother Sun Xiang was appointed as the meritorious official of Li Chengqian's Zhongshan Palace.

Because his wife, the eldest grandson, was not in good health, when he passed through Taiyuan, Li Shimin thought of his wife listening to the bells and repairing the temple at Xuanzhong Temple, so he went to Xuanzhong Temple to visit the eminent monk Dao Chuo and offered a large number of offerings.

Jewelry to pray for your wife.

With the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin stayed in the capital most of the time. Because of his great achievements, the friction and resentment between the Prince of Qin and Prince Li Jiancheng deepened day by day.

The Changsun clan gave full play to their advantages as a female family member, and often went to the palace to serve Gaozu and his concubines, trying their best to make up for the differences between them.

In the ninth year of Wude, the situation between the Qin Palace and the East Palace became increasingly tense. Changsun and Fang Xuanling "worked together to help", and both sides assisted Li Shimin.

In the end, in order to protect himself, Li Shimin had to lead Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others to ambush at Xuanwu Gate. Changsun personally distributed armors to the soldiers and encouraged them. The soldiers were extremely grateful.

After Li Shimin successfully killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the Xuanwumen Incident, he was made the crown prince by Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, and Changsun was also canonized as the crown prince.

On August 21, the 13th day after Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, he appointed his wife Changsun as the queen, and posthumously gave his father-in-law Changsun Sheng the title of Sikong and Duke of Qi, with the posthumous title of Xian.

In October of Guihai, Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Zhongshan County, was appointed as the crown prince.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conferred the title of eldest grandson Wuji, the most outstanding figure in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, on the Duke of Qi, and granted a title to 1,300 households.

And because Changsun Wuji and he were good friends when they were young, and now they have the dual status of a relative and a hero, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty paid special attention to him, often letting him enter and leave his residence, and also granted him the important position of Minister Youpushe.

In the third month of Guisi, Queen Changsun held a ceremony to kiss silkworms.

In the same year, Changsun Chang, the uncle of Queen Changsun, was dismissed from office for taking bribes. However, because Changsun Chang was his wife's uncle, Emperor Taizong often ordered people to send silk to him to support his expenses. Soon he retired with the official title of Zong Zhengqing.

In addition, he was awarded the title of casual official of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu and the title of the second-grade Pingyuan County Duke.

In December, Empress Changsun's half-brother Xue Guogong eldest Sun Anye conspired against Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Yuan Hongshan and others and was sentenced to death. However, Empress Changsun begged her husband in tears: "Anye's crime must not be punished by anyone."

There is no pardon for death. But he drove my mother and I out of the house in his early years, and this matter is known to the whole world. If I kill the eldest grandson Anye, the world will definitely think that I am taking advantage of His Majesty's favor to take revenge on my brother." So all the other principal culprits were executed.

, even several of Li Xiaochang's sons were all killed because of the succession, but only the eldest grandson Anye was spared death.
