Li Shimin's favorite woman in her life is not Wu Zetian, but her.

Li Shimin's favorite woman in her life is not Wu Zetian, but her.

In Li Shimin's life, there were two most important women, one was his mother, and the other was his wife, the eldest grandson queen. The eldest grandson of the Queen married him when she was still the king of Qin in Li Shimin, and devoted herself to Li Shimin, being virtuous and caring for her husband and children. The eldest grandson is also a famous virtuous queen in the history of China, which can also be reflected in her being named "virtuous queen" by posthumous title. The eldest grandson, a small Guanyin maid, is from Luoyang, Henan. Her ancestor was the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, her father's name was Sheng, the right general of the Sui Dynasty, and her mother was also the daughter of a noble family, Yangzhou secretariat. Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson queen, 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. When the eldest grandson met a fortune teller as a child, he predicted that she would be "expensive" in the future. When the eldest grandson was thirteen, he married Li Shimin and became a princess of Qin. She is gentle, virtuous, generous and resourceful, and is deeply loved by concubines in Tang Gaozu's harem. 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 other scholars. It can be seen that the lady route has a long history in China! Chang Sunfang and Qi Xin assisted in the warehousing war in the last years of Li Yuan Wude.

During the change of Xuanwu Gate, in the harem, Li Shimin only brought the eldest grandson queen. She personally encouraged all the soldiers and won Li Shimin's heart. 0/3 days after he ascended the throne, 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 Taihe and Li Zhi; Four daughters: Princess Changle, Princess Chengyang, Princess jinyang princess and Princess Xincheng. When the eldest grandson was in the latter position, she was good at borrowing the past from the present, correcting Li Shimin's political mistakes, protecting loyal ministers, and giving Li Shimin a lot of useful help politically. When the eldest grandson and Emperor Taizong died, they said that it was still a national event.

At that time, Fang was sent back to China by Emperor Taizong for some reason. The eldest grandson said, "Ling Xuan has been your majesty for the longest time. He has always been cautious and scheming. He had heard about it beforehand, but he didn't say a word. Unless there is a big reason, I hope not to abandon it. " He also arranged his own affairs: "Since ancient times, sages have advocated frugality and thinness, but there is no way in the world, and they strive to make the world laugh for people of insight. But please be buried because of the mountain. There is no need to set up a grave or a coffin. All the clothes you need are shingles. Don't forget your concubine. " I was only thirty-six when I finished! Li Shimin was deeply saddened by the death of his eldest grandson. When he saw the burial of the queen's grandson, he ordered someone to build a house on the plank road outside the palace, and ordered the imperial secretary to live in it and serve the queen's coffin like a living person-this kind of example of providing supplies for the dead is extremely rare, and it is the first case in Li Shimin. Li Shimin also built a high platform in the palace, so that he could always stand there and look at the tomb of the grandson's queen, how infatuated he was. It's a pity that Wei Zhi didn't understand amorous feelings, but only remonstrated with Li Shimin and asked to tear down this high platform.

According to the historical records, "After Empress Wende was buried, the emperor missed her, that is, he watched the Zhaoling Tomb in the garden." This sincerity to love is touching. Under Wei Zhi's persuasion, the high platform and shed were finally demolished, but Emperor Taizong's yearning for his beloved wife did not stop, but it became more and more uncontrollable, so that in an imperial edict, he publicly told the minister of his grief after his beloved wife's death: "Since the Qing Dynasty, there has been a great disaster, but there has been a lack of good marriage, and several degrees of poisoning, and sadness has followed." () Where there are sentient beings, who wins and who is sad, the time sequence moves repeatedly, which is shocking. I've been in a trance since I was born, eating and forgetting my taste, and forgetting to eat and sleep in the middle of the night "("Answer to the Imperial edict of Wei Zhi "). It's really a word of blood and tears, which makes people feel embarrassed after reading it. Li Shimin, such a strong person, ever shed tears? Heroes don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place yet. There are only three women in this world who can make Li Shimin cry. One is his mother, the other is the eldest grandson queen, and the other is jinyang princess, the daughter of the eldest grandson queen.

The eldest grandson is knowledgeable and has the demeanor of a mother instrument in the world. She once wrote 30 volumes of "Women's Rules" to educate harem women, but unfortunately they were all lost. There is only one poem in the existing literary works of the eldest grandson, but it is enough for us to appreciate the other side of this virtuous queen. This poem is called "Song of a Spring Tour": Peach blossoms shine in the morning in the garden, and the boudoir moves Chun Qing. 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 lingered among the flowers, watching butterflies flying and listening to orioles singing in the branches. Far away in the forest, you don't have to ask. It is famous for its fantastic romance. The eldest grandson in the history books is virtuous and dignified, but the eldest grandson in this poem is a lively woman, a happy woman who has been loved by the emperor's husband for three thousand years.

She proudly declared that she was "far away in the Woods without asking, and she was famous for her extraordinary romance", and her reputation had spread far away without publicity. Because she knows that in her husband's heart, she will always be a lush peony! In the love life of Tang Taizong in his later years, there is another woman who is equally fascinating, and this is Xu Hui, a talented woman in the harem. Xu Hui was Li Shimin's favorite concubine in his later years. In Shi Li's mind, Xuhui's position is second only to that of the eldest grandson queen. 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 eloquent and her handwriting was beautiful and quite standard.

Once, her father, Xu Xiaode, wanted to test her literary talent, so he asked her to write a poem in the style of Li Sao after Qu Yuan's Li Sao. Xuhui found a pen and paper, and in a blink of an eye it became a poem called Zhunshan: "Look up at the secluded rock and look forward to it, caress Gui Zhi and meditate; I want to meet this Millennium, and I want to go alone. " This poem is full of sound and emotion, which shows Xiao Xuhui's reverence and admiration for Qu Yuan's noble character. At the age of eleven, Xu Hui's talent has become famous and spread to the court in Jiangnan thousands of miles away. Li Shimin heard about his talent and accepted it. When Xu Hui entered the palace at the age of eleven, she first became the last talent among the concubines, and was soon named Jieyu, and was soon promoted to the third grade.

There are more books in the palace than anywhere else. As soon as Xu Hui entered the palace, she eagerly plunged into literary classics. After a few years, she visited all the books in the palace, and her knowledge and insight improved rapidly. Li Shimin is a man of great taste, and he also has high demands on the women around him. He was also very happy to see Xuhui so eager to learn, and took care of her, but 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 Xu Hui was late. Li Shimin waited for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of Xuhui. His kindness turned into anger.

When Xu Huishan arrived, she saw Li Shimin's icy face at a glance. Knowing that Li Shimin was unhappy, she smiled, wrote a poem and handed it to Li Shimin: The morning came, and the makeup party stopped for a while. A daughter began to smile and told her to come. This little poem is both arrogant and feminine. There are both intelligent, affectionate and charming girls and lonely and self-respecting intellectual women. This poem was later included in "Entering Emperor Taizong" in "The Whole Tang Poetry". After reading it, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing. Although Li Shimin dotes on Xu Hui, harem beauties are like clouds. After all, Li Shimin can't concentrate all her feelings on her. As a member of many concubines in the harem, Xu Hui often has the worry of falling out of favor. The following song "Nagato's Complaints" shows her concern: old love white balcony, new favorite Zhaoyang Hall. I scrupulously abide by this duty, refusing to board the exquisite car and the king's walk; I bathed in tears, singing the sad "Song of the Fan". Once given the new talent of singing and dancing, the old books of the old man became 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.

Nagato Complain was originally a Yuefu poem, referring to the palace, where Emperor Wu abandoned Chen and abdicated, which was equivalent to a cold palace. Later scholars called Nagato Palace the residence of empresses. This poem by Xu Hui is about Ban Jieyu being snubbed by Emperor Han Cheng, but it also expresses her own feelings. In the twenty-third year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign, Li Shimin died of illness, and Xu Hui was heartbroken, but declined the doctor's excessive treatment. When he was dying, he also wrote poems and lyrics, pinning his deep affection and thoughts on Li Shimin. In the first year of Tang Yonghui, that is, two years after Li Shimin's death, Xu Hui died at the age of 24.

Emperor Gaozong cherished 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 is also the only one of the concubines of Emperor Taizong who was passed down with her eldest grandson. Before the death of Emperor Taizong, the testamentary edict made all the concubines who had no children in the harem become monks. At that time, the talented Wu Zetian was among them, but Xu Hui was an exception.
