In the second year of Wude, Princess Qin and her eldest son were born in Chenggan Hall, so this hall was named Li Chenggan. However, Chenggan inherited the imperial industry and has been leading Gankun. Therefore, although this word is the name of the palace, it has great significance when used as a person's name. Therefore, Tang Gaozu's grandson was named "Chenggan".
Wude three years, gave birth to the second son, named Lee Tae. In June of the same year, Li Chenggan and Lee Tae were named King of Hengshan County and King of Yidu County respectively.
Wude four years, in order to give birth to a daughter, a famous beauty, God-given beauty, can not be concealed. From this name alone, we can imagine Li Shimin's love for this precious daughter. In the same year, Li, king of Yidu County, was named Wang Wei, and he was named Houzhu country. It turns out that as the second son of the King of Qin, Lee Tae's title in the future was originally the highest king from the county. However, Li Yuan named him Wang Wei (not the first heir) and awarded him to Shang Zhu's meritorious officer, which was a great favor to the Li Shimin family.
On July 10 this year, Tang Gaozu abolished the five baht and issued Kaiyuan Bao Tong. Tang Gaozu specifically allowed Li Shimin to make three coins himself. According to Minister Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when the wax figure was presented, Princess Shi accidentally left traces of nails on it, so after Kaiyuan casting was completed, there was a trace of ""on the wax figure.
In the fifth year of Wude, Gu Qingqing, the grandson of the nephew Changsunchi, was appointed as the entourage of the eldest son Li Chenggan.
In the seventh year of Wude, Tang Gaozu moved Li Chenggan, king of Hengshan County, to be king of Zhongshan County. Pacify the Queen, and appoint Lv Deming and Kong, two masters of Confucianism, as the 18th Bachelor of Qin Dynasty, to teach Li Chenggan Confucian Classics. In the same year, Sun Xiang, the nephew of Jiaqing's brother, was appointed as the hero of Li Chenggan in Zhongshan.
Due to his wife Shi's poor health, when passing Taiyuan, I remembered her listening to Zhong Xiu Temple in Xuanzhong Temple, and went to Xuanzhong Temple to visit the Taoist Chuo in the temple, and presented many jewels to pray for her.
With the unification of the Tang Dynasty, he spent most of his time in Beijing. Due to the contribution of Gao Zhen, the friction between the King of Qin and Prince Li also deepened. Shi gave full play to his harem advantage, and often entered the palace to serve Gaozu and his harem concubines, trying to make up for the bad blood between them.
In the ninth year of Wude, the situation between the Palace of Qin and the East Palace became more and more tense. Stone and Fang "help each other in the same boat" and help each other together. Finally, in order to protect himself, Li Shimin had to lead Wuji, Fang, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others to ambush in Xuanwu Gate. His grandson personally distributed armor to the soldiers and encouraged them. The soldiers were very grateful. After successfully killing Li and Li Yuanji in the Xuanwumen Revolution, she was named the Crown Prince and was also honored as the Crown Princess.
On August 2 1 day, the third day after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he made his wife the queen and posthumously awarded his father-in-law as Duke of Qi. In October, Li Chenggan, the county magistrate of Zhongshan, was appointed as the Crown Prince.
In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong attacked Wuji, Sun Chang, Qi Huangong, which launched the Xuanwumen rebellion, and sealed 1,300 households. And because Sun Chang Wuji was a good friend with himself when he was young, and now he is a consort and a hero, Emperor Taizong took special care of him, often letting him in and out of his room, and awarded him an important position as the right servant of Shangshu. On the third day of March, the eldest grandson queen held a silkworm-kissing ceremony.
In the same year, Sun Qiang, the uncle of the eldest grandson queen, was dismissed for taking bribes. However, Emperor Taizong often ordered people to send him silk to pay for his expenses, because Sun Qiang was his wife's uncle. Soon he retired with the official title of Zong Zhengqing, and was awarded the official position of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu and the title of authentic county magistrate.
/kloc-in 0/February, the eldest grandson Anye, the eldest grandson's half-brother Xue Guogong, rebelled with Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Yuan Hongshan and others, and died according to the crime, but the eldest grandson pleaded with her husband with tears: "Anye's crime is unforgivable. But he kicked me and my mother out of the house a few years ago, which is known all over the world. If I kill my eldest grandson Anye, the world will surely think that I am retaliating against my brother with your love. " Therefore, other principal criminals were punished, and even several sons of Li Xiaochang were killed because they were sitting together, but the eldest grandson Anye was spared.
In the second year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson opposed his younger brother Sun Chang Wuji's taking an important position, and often said to her husband, "As a former queen, I am very honored. I really don't want my brother and sons and nephews to be above the imperial court. The consorts of the Lu family and the Huo family in the Han dynasty were just lessons from the past. I hope your majesty will never appoint my brother as prime minister. " At first, Emperor Taizong didn't listen to his wife's advice, and insisted on giving generous gifts to senior officials in Sun Chang. Therefore, the eldest grandson queen privately asked her younger brother to resign from these posts, until Emperor Taizong finally agreed, and only named Sun ChangWuji as the virtual title of the third division of Kaifuyi. The eldest grandson queen is very happy.
In May, Lee Tae, Wang Wei changed its title to Yue King. Because Lee Tae is the eldest son of the Queen, he prefers the king. Emperor Taizong ordered him to lead the governors of Yangzhou and Yuezhou to come from afar, with as many as 22 fiefs! This is almost twice as much as the prince's fief in the same period.
In June, the eldest grandson Geng Yin gave birth to her third son Li Zhi in Li Zhengtang. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed. He not only held a grand banquet for officials with more than five kinds of products, but also ordered anyone born on this day to get food. It is said that during the "Washing Three Dynasties" three days after Li Zhi's birth, the eldest grandson gave the young son the Jade Dragon and the scarlet baby full of pearls that her husband got from Jin Yanggong. Since then, this jade dragon "not a few inches wide, but warm and exquisite, not owned by the world" has become the mascot of the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down from generation to generation by emperors.
In the same year, Li Lizhi, the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson, was only eight years old and was canonized as Princess Changle, with 3,000 food cities.
In the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong named Li Zhi, the son of his eldest grandson, king of Jin. In the same year, Emperor Taizong summoned Yuan Wan, a master, to write Tibetan scriptures for his eldest grandson.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Princess Changle, who was deeply loved by Emperor Taizong and his grandson, was going to get married. Emperor Taizong specially ordered the company to prepare a dowry twice as much as that of princess royal. However, not long ago, the ancient scholar Wei Ting criticized the outdated style at the dinner table: "Today, the nobles are very rich. At the beginning of their marriage, they may play orchestral instruments to hold a grand banquet; Striving for beauty, regardless of etiquette. ..... If we don't cultivate the side of justice, we are afraid that this wind will become more and more fascinated. " As a result, Emperor Taizong actually committed a crime against the wind, and his dowry for his daughter was even much more than that of princess royal, which naturally caused Wei Zhi to severely stop it.
Wei Zhi thought that the dowry was twice as much as that of the royal princess, and he tried his best to protest. Later, Emperor Taizong told his eldest grandson about it, and his eldest grandson sighed, "I know that your majesty values Wei Zhi, but I don't know why. Today, I realize that Wei Zhi is indeed a minister of the humerus who is beneficial to the country, but Wei Zhi, as a servant, can protest directly. This character is really commendable. " So he made a decree to give Wei Zhi 200,000 yuan and 400 silks, and specifically told him: "I hope Duke Zheng Can will always keep this heart of speaking frankly and say what he thinks is wrong, and don't hold back because of the ceremony of the monarch and the minister."
In March, Emperor Taizong and his grandson went to Jiucheng Palace for the summer. In April this year, when the couple were walking, they found a piece of land in the west of Xiao Dan Hall was a little wet, so they guided it with a cane, and the spring immediately gushed out, and then it was surrounded by a stone sill and extended to a canal. Because the spring water came from the west of Xiaodan Hall, Emperor Taizong held a banquet in Xiaodan Hall to invite ministers and gave them silk. Written by Wei Zhi and written by Ou Yangxun, The Inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace tells an interesting story about the discovery of Liquan by Emperor Taizong while walking with his grandson.
A few months later, the eldest grandson's little princess was full moon, and Emperor Taizong was very happy. The ministers held a grand banquet in Xiao Dan Hall. In Shen Bing in September, Prince Li Chenggan came to Jiucheng Palace to appear before him. When Emperor Taizong was happy, he gave a grand banquet to the officials of the East Palace and gave them silk.
On the first day of October, Emperor Taizong returned to Chang 'an from Jiucheng Palace with his grandson. Emperor Taizong personally served Emperor Li Yuan and offered food and clothes with his grandson until late at night. Emperor Taizong wanted to send the Emperor Taizong back in person, but the Emperor Taizong refused to agree and asked Prince Li Chenggan to send him back on his behalf.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, after more than a year of preparation, the eldest grandson of the Queen married Princess Changle, the daughter of Emperor Taizong, and Xu was none other than the eldest son of Wuji, the future Zhao Guogong, and now the patriarch Sun Chong. In the same year, Li Zhiyao, the youngest son of the eldest grandson, became the governor of Bing, so where is Bing?
According to historical records, Bingzhou is Taiyuan Prefecture, which means that Li Zhi got the fief of Taiyuan. Anyone who knows something about the Tang Dynasty will know that during the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was the capital of the north, completely detached politically, militarily and economically. Because Taiyuan is not only the northern town of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also the land of Longxing in Li Tang! However, Emperor Taizong lightly gave Li Zhijin the title of King and gave him Taiyuan, which had such a unique position. This shows that Emperor Taizong's love for this little son born to his wife can be seen.
In the same year, Lee Tae, the king of Yue, was also awarded the position of general of Zuo Wuhou and animal husbandry in Yongzhou. At the same time, he also served as the prefect of Yanzhou and Xia Shengbei, and he was also awarded the position of general Zuo Wuhou. When other princes of the same age took office in fiefs, Lee Tae not only lived with his parents, but also did not take office in fiefs. Emperor Taizong even ordered him to move into the Wude Hall.
In March of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Yuan hosted a banquet in the Hall of Two Instruments to entertain the Turkish envoys in the Western Regions. Tang Taizong and his grandson personally donated meals and clothes, which are rare and precious. The eldest grandson personally combed Tang Gaozu's hair, crowned him, and sighed with emotion: "The supreme age is old, and his hair is white." Everyone is sad and crying, and the family is just like ordinary people.
Grandson Chen Geng and Emperor Taizong were fortunate to be in Jiucheng Palace. One night, Chai Shao hastily reported that there had been a sudden change. Emperor Taizong had to put on his armor and leave. Although his eldest grandson who slept with him was ill, he insisted on going together. The imperial secretary stopped him one by one, but the eldest grandson said, "Your Majesty is so shocked, how can I rest at ease?"
In March of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson queen held a silkworm-kissing ceremony. In the same year, the eldest grandson of the queen was unwell, and Emperor Taizong was very worried. He invited monks such as Master Tanzang and Master Changfa to the palace to pray for his wife's commandments. Later, Master Tanzang died in Huichang Temple, and both his eldest grandson and Prince Li Chenggan sent people to mourn. Emperor Taizong also buried Master Tanzang with a imperial edict. Master Chang Fa was honored to be the seat of Confucius Temple by the order of Emperor Taizong, because he was appointed by the queen.
Ten years after Zhenguan, with the serious illness of his eldest grandson, Li Chenggan was very worried about his mother's illness and wanted to grant amnesty and pray for her. However, the eldest grandson refused without hesitation, saying, "There is no way to change life and death. Besides, pardoning prisoners is a national event, and advocating Buddhism is something your majesty does not do. How can you mess up the laws of the world because I am a humble woman? " Cheng Gan told Fang about it. Emperor Taizong and the DPRK ministers were very excited. Ministers demanded Amnesty, but the queen's eldest grandson firmly refused it.
Although Emperor Taizong could not bear to disobey his wife's wishes and did not grant amnesty to the world, he found another way and thought of praying for his beloved wife in other ways.
In April, Emperor Taizong wrote: "The Empress has been open-minded for a long time, but she has never been cured. She will repair the abandoned temples and build 392 Buddhist courtyards in the world with kindness, which are better than those with seven pagodas in landscape shape and still stand on her laurels. " Emperor Taizong ordered the overhaul of 392 abandoned temples in the world, hoping that the Buddha would bless his wife's early recovery. Xiuding Temple in Xiangzhou and Shanji Temple in Yizhou were thus restored. Wang Bo, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, personally wrote the Monument to Shanji Temple in Deyang County, Yizhou, which has been handed down to this day. Obviously, advocating Buddhism was something he didn't do, but in order to regain his wife's life from death, Emperor Taizong still did it.
However, although Emperor Taizong tried his best to take back his beloved wife's life from death, it backfired. In June this year, the eldest grandson left her husband, Li Chenggan, and Wang Weitai, who had just lost her crown, and her daughter, Princess Changle, and four younger children. They died in the legislative hall of Chang 'an Taiji Palace at the age of 36.
The eldest grandson died in the prime of life, leaving her husband and children with endless sorrow. Emperor Taizong was deeply saddened by the death of his wife, as were all princes and princesses, especially Li Zhi, the king of Jin. His mourning touched the people around him, and Emperor Taizong was very distressed, so he made a move that attracted the attention of the world: raising a pair of children of his eldest sons Li Zhi and jinyang princess himself, becoming the first emperor to raise a prince and the only emperor to raise a princess himself in China history!
Imagine how many princes and princesses there were in China in the past 5,000 years, and how many of them were lucky enough to be raised by the emperor's father? However, due to the mother's Leng Cha, the eldest grandson's children did not enjoy such honor. This is really a shocking move of Emperor Taizong's temperament!
In September, Ding You, the grandson of the Queen, prepared to bury Zhaoling. Yu Shinan wrote an article mourning the Queen Wende, and mentioned the word "Wende" in posthumous title. It's a long story.
Empresses and concubines began to have posthumous title in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but until the Sui Dynasty, all empresses only had a single posthumous title, not a complicated death. Only historians combined their posthumous title with the emperor's posthumous title to make it easier to distinguish them. For example, when he acceded to the throne, the queen who sealed Dou was named "Queen Mu", and after his death, posthumous title was named "Queen Taimu". However, after her death, the eldest grandson was directly restored to "Wende" by Emperor Taizong.
According to the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is right for posthumous title to die alone, but it is wrong for posthumous title to die in pairs. In the eyes of the ancients, only when a single death after death is not enough to express the good character of the deceased, will complex death after death be used. Therefore, death after death is extremely rare. Before the death of Empress Grandson in the tenth year of Zhenguan, only Liu Gan, a loyal martyr, was posthumously presented by Tang Gaozu Liyuan, and no one else was posthumously presented.
The two posthumous title "Wen De" of the eldest grandson are both beautiful, especially the word "Wen". People in the Tang Dynasty believed that "Wen" was the best posthumous title, and "Beauty is nothing better". Even among beautiful women, no posthumous title can beat Wen. It can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Taizong, only "virtue" is not enough to show the beauty of his wife, and only by adding the virtue of his eldest grandson to the most respected posthumous title in the Tang Dynasty can it be shown.
1 1 In the year of Gengyin, the eldest grandson was buried in Zhaoling, and Emperor Taizong personally wrote an inscription for his wife, especially mentioning the dying wish of the eldest grandson, that is, "Because of the burial on the mountain, there is no need to raise a grave or use a coffin, and all the clothes needed are made of wooden tiles, which is economical and thin." Therefore, Emperor Taizong personally selected Jiuyi Mountain as the location of the emperor's mausoleum, because this mountain was once "chiseled" by the mausoleum.
When the eldest grandson was buried, Emperor Taizong specially selected Yu Shangfan, Yuan, Qi Shiwu, Du Jiashi, Song Sizhen, Lu Shao, Cui and Guo.
During this period of mourning for the queen, another thing happened. Xu Jingzong, the head of the secretariat, laughed when he saw Ou Yangxun's ugly and weird appearance. Emperor Taizong was very angry when he learned about it, and immediately demoted Xu Jingzong to Hongzhou Sima. Xu was not only immediately demoted to a third-class official, but also demoted from a Beijing official to a local official, and was severely punished.
Emperor Taizong's memory of his wife goes far beyond this. After the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong became a monk in Zongshengguan to pursue happiness for the queen.
According to historical records, after the eldest grandson was buried in Gong Xuan Palace in Zhaoling, Emperor Taizong ordered people to build a plank road outside Shimen, Wuxiang, so that the imperial secretary could live and support like the empress before her death. This plank road was not demolished until the death of Emperor Taizong and was buried in Zhaoling Palace in Gong Xuan.
Emperor Taizong also missed his wife very much, so he built a building view in the upper courtyard, which he could climb to see Zhaoling. Once, Emperor Taizong and Wei Zhi boarded the first floor for sightseeing together. Emperor Taizong pointed to Zhaoling and showed it to Wei Zhi. Kevin·Z replied, "My eyes are blurred and I can't see clearly. I thought your Majesty was showing me around Tang Gaozu Mausoleum. If you are looking at Zhaoling, then I will see it. " Hearing this, Emperor Taizong burst into tears and had to ruin the scene with tears.
In fact, in this era of filial piety first, husbands will not sacrifice their wives. It is natural that Emperor Taizong missed his wife so openly and was laughed at by Wei Zhi. However, Emperor Taizong's yearning for his beloved wife did not stop because of this, but became more and more turbulent and uncontrollable, so that in a letter to Wei Zhi, he openly confided to the minister his sadness after widowhood-"There have been many troubles since 1998, and there has been a lack of a good couple. These are several poisons." Where there is life, there is sorrow, and the time sequence moves repeatedly, which is shocking. Since I was born, I have been in a trance. I forgot my own taste when eating, and wasted my sleep in the middle of the night. "In this case, blood and tears are really embarrassing.
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong designated Everbright Dance, which only the emperor could use, as a temple music for the sacrifice of the eldest grandson queen.
Traditionally, only after the death of the emperor can a queen share the ancestral temple with her husband. However, Emperor Taizong shared his eldest grandson with the ancestral temple a long time ago, and even the appointed temple music was a "dance of light" that only the emperor could use-what kind of affection and attention is needed to make his wife enjoy the same level of sacrifice as her ancestors?
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan (April 28th), Emperor Taizong ordered Fa Zheng, the ancestor of Nanshan Sect, to explain Xuan's contribution to his wife and seek happiness for his family. This book was collected by Li Shengduo, a collector in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
In November of the same year, Xin Mao, Lee Tae and Wang Wei made a vow to build three niches of Longmen Mountain for their mother and grandson, and Emperor Taizong personally went to pay tribute. On the other hand, Cen Wenben's Story of Three Niches, written by Chu Suiliang, one of the four schools in the early Tang Dynasty, is the largest cliff stone carving in Longmen. This amazing calligraphy and painting is famous for its great engineering, gorgeous decoration and even "gold and silver language", which shows Lee Tae's admiration for his mother, his eldest grandson, and Emperor Taizong's attention to this work.
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, in order to pursue happiness for his deceased wife, Emperor Taizong built a first Buddha for his eldest grandson in Taiping Temple.
On August 20th of the same year, Emperor Taizong named his 8-year-old daughter Princess Hengshan, who owned 3,000 restaurants. Hengshan county is where Hengshan is located. Hengshan Mountain has been one of the five mountains and one of the famous mountains since ancient times. There is a saying in the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty: "Wumingshan, Dachuan and Guinei counties can be sealed." However, Emperor Taizong generously gave Hengshan as a fief to his little daughter.
In April of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Chenggan was exposed to rebellion. However, in history, those princes who embarked on the road of rebellion and failed often ended in beheading. But when it was Li Chenggan's turn, Emperor Taizong was silent.
What Chenggan did undoubtedly disappointed him. How much effort and energy he has devoted to training his beloved son into a qualified Chu Jun! It's just that Li Chenggan's forced rebellion was all wet, but after all, Emperor Taizong still loved this son. He didn't want to make his dead wife sad, but he couldn't openly take the lead in breaking the law. what should he do ？ So Emperor Taizong threw this thorny issue to the ministers-what do you think? As a result, no minister dared to answer.
Because there is no need to discuss how to deal with the rebellion of the Prince, and it should be punished according to the law, but now Emperor Taizong openly asks how to deal with Li Chenggan in front of all ministers, which is obviously saying that he doesn't want to kill Li Chenggan at all. Finally, the general manager came to the rescue station and said, "Your Majesty can be a loving father and be good all his life." So Emperor Taizong ordered the abolition of Li Chenggan's post of Shu Ren and exiled him to Guizhou, and finally saved his son's life. Lai Ji also got the attention of Emperor Taizong because of this matter, and his official position was constantly promoted. Soon, he was admitted to Yuan Wailang. In the second year, he was promoted to the position of Sheren in Chinese calligraphy, and co-wrote The Book of Jin with Ling Hudefen and others.
Although Prince Li Chenggan and Wang Tai were both demoted for taking the throne, Emperor Taizong was heartbroken, but in order to save these three beloved sons at the same time, Emperor Taizong decisively established a young but gentle youngest son, Li Zhi, as the prince, and said the following words: "Cheng Gan does not exist; King Jin, it is no problem for the Thai Communist Party to undertake the task. " The king who wanted to seize the office got the biggest punishment, but he was only demoted to Donglai County King and then changed to County King.
Li Chenggan, as the mastermind of the rebellion case, saved his life, but was ruined, while Princess Chengyang's accomplice Xu stayed in the land of life and death. After Du He's death, Emperor Taizong loved his daughter very much, so he personally chose Xue Kui as his husband. In order to make Chengyang's marriage no longer regret, Emperor Taizong made a divination specially, and the divination showed: "When two fires eat together, there will be the same glory, and eventually there will be the same plant. If you hold the ceremony day and night, you will be lucky in the end. "
According to the practice at that time, the wedding should be held at night, but according to the result of divination, the wedding needs to be held during the day to be auspicious. So Emperor Taizong decided to make an exception and change Chengyang's wedding to daytime, but this move was strongly opposed by Ma Zhou, so Emperor Taizong had to give up. Fortunately, however, the marriage between Chengyang and Xue Kui has not been affected, and the relationship between husband and wife is very harmonious after marriage. Their son Xue Shao is the future son-in-law of Princess Taiping, Tang Gaozong's daughter.
In August, Princess Changle, who was in her prime of life, died of illness. Emperor Taizong was very sad about the premature death of his beloved daughter, and ordered Princess Changle's tomb to adopt the specifications of three stone gates-this is unique not only among the tombs excavated in Zhaoling, but also among the tombs excavated in the whole Tang Dynasty, only the tomb of Prince Yide buried according to the grade of the emperor belongs to this situation.
However, the misfortune of the royal family did not come to an abrupt end. Jinyang princess, who had been raised by Emperor Taizong himself, died of illness at the age of twelve. Emperor Taizong couldn't even eat or drink normally for more than a month. He mourned dozens of times every day and became weak. Ministers made suggestions and encouragement one after another, and Emperor Taizong replied, "Why don't I know that people can't be resurrected after death? Is it useless to be so sad? I just can't help it. I don't know why I can't control my sadness. "
In the end, Emperor Taizong had to hold back his grief and ordered relevant officials to build a Buddhist temple next to jinyang princess's tomb with the remaining money from the fief to pray for his daughter who died unfortunately, and at the same time, he hoped to give himself some comfort.
In December of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Chenggan died of illness in Qianzhou, so Emperor Taizong retired from the dynasty and was given a heavy burial with state ceremony.
After twenty years of Zhenguan, Gao Shilian became ill. Emperor Taizong personally visited him in his mansion, and he couldn't help crying when he mentioned this past.
In the first month of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Gao Shilian died in Chongren, Chang 'an. Emperor Taizong insisted on paying his respects to the mansion in spite of his illness, and said to Fang Lingxuan, who came to stop him, "I went this time not only for the sake of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, but also for the friendship that allowed marriage in those days. Shi Lian is also my uncle, and her marriage is heavy. You don't need to persuade me anymore. " So Emperor Taizong came to Yanximen from Xing 'an Gate with hundreds of knights. Sun Chang Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well. It is taboo to mourn at this time. I am very grateful to your majesty for thinking about my late uncle's old feelings, but my late uncle said before he died,' your majesty was very kind to me. I may come to mourn in person after my death, but I am just an ordinary member of the imperial court, and I didn't help your majesty much when I was alive. "Sun Chang Wuji knelt in front of Emperor Taizong's horse and tried to dissuade him with tears. Emperor Taizong promised to return to the palace.
In November of the same year, Emperor Taizong restored Lee Tae, the king of Yangshun County, as the king of Pu, and gave him 10,000 food cities.
In June of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Zhi built a large bridge in memory of his mother's eldest grandson, which was evaluated by Tang Xuanzang as "gorgeous wheels, now it is an ancient charm". Such a magnificent Gyanji occupies half of Jinchang Square, with more than 65,438+00 courtyards, 65,438+0,897 houses, Yun Ge Temple and a complex building, which is very luxurious. In today's words, this is a project that wastes both people and money. Without the support and permission of the emperor, even the prince would not have the ability and courage.
1February, when "Da Ji Gong" was completed, Emperor Taizong ordered Tai Changqing and Li Daozong to lead nine musicals. In ten thousand years, Song Xingzhi, Chang 'an Pei Fangyan and others have led the voices and temples in the county, so it is necessary to make Dajigong look solemn. He also ordered 300 monks and invited 50 Taoist priests. Later, Emperor Taizong led Prince Li Zhi and his officials to hold an incense burner at Anfumen, and watched the monks and various Buddha statues, scriptures and relics. In turn, they were presented to Daxianzhi, and all kinds of rare treasures were "dazzling the sun and dazzling the city", and there was no end in sight.
On the 6th day of February in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, on the birthday of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong married his wife's youngest daughter, Princess Hengshan, to his eldest grandson. Therefore, Emperor Taizong specially promoted Chang Suncao, the father of Chang Sunquan, to the position of secretariat, which was helped by the wind, and ranked as the three assistants with Jing and Feng Yi, with an extraordinary position. In the Tang Dynasty, prefectures and counties were divided into eight grades, and qi zhou ranked second, just behind Yongzhou, Luozhou and Bingzhou. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it was once designated as Xijing. Therefore, as a courtier, the eldest grandson Cao was promoted to secretariat because his son was still in power. It is conceivable that Emperor Taizong attached great importance to Hengshan Mountain. However, the ceremony of the princess coming out was extremely complicated, so it was a pity that the wedding was not completed until the death of Emperor Taizong.
May has passed, and Emperor Taizong collapsed in Jiucheng Palace with the wind. In August, Geng Yan, Emperor Taizong, was buried in Gong Xuan, Zhaoling, in the same cave as his eldest grandson.
With the death of Emperor Taizong, the story of a generation of Zhenguan Empress seems to have come to an end. In fact, since ancient times, various legends about Queen Guan Zhen have emerged one after another, and they have not stopped. For example, the eldest grandson of the queen was seriously ill during pregnancy, and Sun Simiao's lead pulse has been passed down through the ages; For example, Emperor Taizong visited a delicious food called honey bowl for his wife who was weak after childbirth. Another example is that Emperor Taizong personally brewed wine and shared it with his grandson and queen.
As for the deeds of the eldest grandson queen, it has always been loved by the world. For example, the poem "Spring outing" written by Taizong to his wife's grandson queen is "read it at first sight, and it is beautiful in words", but some old pedants insist that the grandson queen, as a generation of sages, is "affectionate and afraid of hurting her morality"; Another example is a pair of shoes with long hair, which were preserved until the Song Dynasty. "Made of Dan feather, decorated with gold leaves before and after cloud cutting, with long feet, three inches upward at the bottom, two rows in the middle and two beads on the head"-this kind of shoes is made of bright and shiny feathers and decorated with gold pearls, which was later spread to the secret library of the Song Dynasty. This shoe is beautifully made. Mi Fei, a painter in the Song Dynasty, was ordered to write an inscription for the shoes of Empress Wende, which later spread to the Ming Dynasty and was preserved as a national quintessence by people at that time. Some people want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to have a look, but the owner still refuses.
The appearance of this heritage also broke the saying that the eldest grandson queen "supplements clothes" to seek virtue. A pair of shoes is still so gorgeous, so the gorgeous degree of clothing can be imagined. In fact, what is recorded in the history books is that the attitude of the eldest grandson queen to these clothes is enough to prevent unnecessary extravagance and waste, rather than saying that she is very demanding of herself and only wears worn-out or patched clothes. This pair of shoes decorated with gold beads and Dan Yu is like a mirror, which clearly reflects the gorgeous life of the eldest grandson, the queen, who is wrapped in gold beads and is in Dan Yu.
Many people want to know why the harem of Emperor Taizong is so calm. Did the eldest grandson's tolerance and compassion move these concubines? No, of course not! Tolerance and sympathy can't stop the competition for favor. There are many examples in the history books that good queens are trampled by favored concubines. Only the emperor himself can calm down the harem and really calm down the competition for favor. It is precisely because Emperor Taizong only loves the eldest grandson queen, these unloved concubines who have no record except the birth of the prince in the harem are not stupid enough to throw eggs at stones and ask for more happiness, so they can only behave themselves, so there will naturally be no jealousness and jealousy in the harem.
Many people want to know why the eldest grandson queen is not jealous of the harem and why she treats it well. There is a simple reason. The harem has been a system since ancient times, not only for Emperor Taizong, but also for counting the concubines in the harem of Emperor Taizong. Basically, there are no more records except the birth of the prince. For the eldest grandson, his love for 3,000 people is concentrated on one person. What do these unloved princesses have to envy? There may not be many people icing on the cake in this world, but more people still disdain to hit people when they are down. In the face of these weak people who are unable to fight back, why not take care of them and be kind to them?
To many people's surprise, Wei Zhi apparently prevented the emperor from giving Princess Changle a dowry, but his eldest grandson rewarded Wei Zhi. Is this pretending to be virtuous? Doesn't she want her daughter to get married in a beautiful way? The answer is simple, because her daughter has always been beautiful. "She was born with a princess queen who loves her very much, so she deserves twice as much as Princess Yongjia." This sentence has surpassed any treasure in the world and is the most precious dowry of Princess Changle.
Many people want to know why the eldest grandson said before her death, "I am a concubine, so I am careful not to put my rights, but I am lucky to be invited by my consort." Doesn't she want family honor? There is a simple reason. When a queen doesn't have to worry about people getting cold tea, she worries that the emperor shouldn't give too much. It must be because the emperor is too kind to her family.
