It is also "famous" to "benefit" these women in the ancient history of China without being queens.

It is said that behind every successful man there is a great woman. Emperor Taizong ruled the world in his heyday, relying on the help of a large number of military generals and his virtuous and gentle wife, the eldest grandson and queen. She was the daughter of a general in the Sui Dynasty, and Gao's mother's father was the Yangzhou secretariat. The eldest grandson of the Queen grew up in an official family and received a whole set of orthodox education, forming a learned, virtuous, gentle, simple and kind character. When she was young, when a divination teacher measured her birthday, she said, "Everything is rich and kind, and harmony is precious." At the age of thirteen, she married her second son who stayed in Taiyuan at that time, at the age of seventeen. Young as I am, I can try my best to serve my in-laws. She is a very capable daughter-in-law and is very popular with her husband and in-laws.

Li Shimin is a promising young man, whether in civilian or military positions. At the age of eighteen, he broke into the enemy camp alone and rescued his father who was trapped in a tight encirclement. Twenty years old, with the wind of kings, you can break the corporal and save money to recruit talents; Twenty-one-year-old Tang Yuan went to Taiyuan with his father and led the army to capture Chang 'an, the capital of Sui Dynasty. Tang Yuan ascended to heaven and became Tang Gaozu, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang and Yuan Dynasties proclaimed themselves emperor, Li Shimin was made King of Qin and was in charge of the Kwantung Army. Within a few years, Li Shimin sent troops to destroy the separatist forces in the Central Plains and completed the great cause of the reunification of Datang; Therefore, Tang Gaozu made him Admiral of Ce Tian, ranking higher than other princes. During the civil war in Li Shimin, big princess followed her husband closely and took care of his daily life, which made Li Shimin feel as gentle as a clear spring after the busy war, thus making him more shaken mentally and invincible in the battle.

After Li Shimin was appointed as General Ce Tian, he enjoyed special powers, and he could set up an official organization and a small court. Because of his service. General Wu You, Cheng, Qin, Zhai, Qin, Weichi Gong, etc. Civil servants include Du Ruhai, Fang, Yu Shinan, Zhuge Liang, Yao Shilian, Li Xuandao, Cai Yungong, Su Xu, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou, Li Shousu, Lu Qingming, Kong, Gai and Xu. "Eighteen bachelors" can be said to be saints like clouds, and their power covers the sky. This kind of environment naturally made the drunken and lecherous bad king feel uneasy at that time. Out of suspicion and jealousy, he and his third brother Li Yuanji attempted to murder their compatriot Li Shimin; He was caught by the conspirators, but under the pressure of his brother-in-law Wuji and his ministers, he finally decided to get rid of Prince Li Yuanji and Prince Wu in Xuanwu Gate. Soon, Li Shimin was established as a prince. In fact, Tang Taizu's second son, Li Yuan, is the person he admires most. Princess Sun Chang strongly opposes this cannibalism tragedy, but as a woman, what can she do in the face of cruel political struggle? She must try to understand her husband.

Tang Gaozu Wude nine years in August, because Prince Li Shimin was old, Tang Gaozu acceded to the throne, and Li Shimin became Emperor Taizong. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the eldest grandson princess immediately became the world's eldest grandson queen, fulfilling teacher Bugua's prophecy. She has everything. As the supreme queen, I am not proud of it. She has always maintained the virtue of kindness and thrift. Tang Gaozu, the father of the old and lazy emperor, served with great respect and meticulous care. Every morning and evening, she goes to inquire about it, reminding the ladies around the emperor how to adjust their daily lives like an ordinary daughter-in-law and be filial. For the concubines in the harem, the eldest grandson queen is also very tolerant and docile. She often advises Li Shimin to treat every concubine fairly, instead of fighting for special care. Therefore, there are few jealousies in the harem of Emperor Taizong, which is rare in all previous dynasties. At first, although the lonely Emperor Wen once managed the harem, she relied on autocratic policies and skills. Empress Sun Qiang, with her dignified personality, silently influenced the atmosphere of the whole harem, so that Emperor Taizong was not disturbed by the right and wrong of the harem and devoted himself to the military. No wonder Emperor Taizong was very respectful to her! Although the eldest grandson was born in a famous family, she is now rich and expensive, but she has always lived a frugal and simple life, without luxurious clothes, luxuriant products, luxurious food and luxurious banquets, which also promoted the simplicity of the harem and set an example for the implementation of the policy of governing the country vigorously by Emperor Taizong.

Because of the frankness of Queen Sun Qiang, Emperor Taizong attached great importance to her and returned to the harem, often talking with her about military details and rewards and punishments; Although the eldest grandson is a insightful woman, she doesn't want to interfere in state affairs in a special capacity. She has her own set of principles. She thinks that men and women are different and should do their respective duties. Therefore, she said, "For hens, this is not the right way to get up in the morning. For women, it is also ominous to hear political events in advance. " Emperor Taizong insisted on listening to her opinion, but after careful consideration, the eldest grandson could not help but express his opinion: "Only benevolence and righteousness can be remonstrated, and other concubines don't understand." She put forward some principles instead of binding the emperor's husband with detailed suggestions. She believed in the ability of Li Shimin's advisers and wise men.

Li Shimin firmly remembered "Be prepared for danger in times of peace" and "Different people have different opinions". At that time, the world was basically peaceful, and many military commanders gradually began to neglect practicing martial arts. In his spare time, Emperor Taizong often recruited military attaché s to practice shooting, calling it a pastime. In fact, he encouraged military attaché s to practice martial arts hard, and regarded martial arts achievements as an important reference for promotion and reward. According to the regulations of the dynasty, generally speaking, except for court guards and individual heroes, others are not allowed to carry weapons into the court to ensure the safety of the emperor, so someone reminded Emperor Taizong; "People bow and arrow around your majesty. If someone did something wrong and hurt your majesty, wouldn't it be a national disaster! " Li Shimin said, "If I treat people sincerely, why should I doubt the people around me?" His style of appointing people on merit and not doubting others won the support of the minister of civil and military affairs, which made everyone under his command motivated. Even in times of peace and stability, he dare not let his guard down. The country has been trained by Mazhuang for a long time and is not afraid of foreign invasion.

With the help of Ren Xian, Emperor Taizong benefited a lot, so it was especially popular in China. He often said to his left and right: "if you want to see yourself clearly, you must use a mirror;" To know their mistakes, the king must rely on an outspoken minister. " Wei Zhi, a doctor who listens to his command, is a Geng Jie who dares to make a fuss. Wei Zhengchang directly and personally pointed out some improper behaviors and policies of Emperor Taizong and urged them to correct. Emperor Taizong was in awe of him and often called him a "loyal minister". But sometimes Wei Zhi never let go of small things, which made Emperor Taizong often feel embarrassed. On one occasion, Tang Dazong suddenly became interested and took a large group of guards to the countryside to watch hunting. Just as he was leaving the palace gate, he met Wei Zhi head-on. After asking about the situation, Wei Zhi immediately said to Emperor Taizong, "It's mid-spring, everything is sprouting, and animals and animals are feeding their offspring. This place is not suitable for hunting. " Please go back to the palace. At that time, Emperor Taizong was very interested and thought, "My son, who is the best in the world, finally has time to go out to play, that is, to kill some small animals and feed them." So please invite Wei Zhi, and I will stick to this trip. Wei Zhi refused to compromise and resolutely opposed Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong flew into a rage, dismounted and angrily returned to the palace. When people around him met, they were all worried about Wei Zhi.

When Emperor Taizong returned to the palace to see his grandson, he said with indignation, "I must kill Wei Zhi, an old stubborn man, to vent my hatred!" Sun Chang asked softly why, but said nothing. She just quietly went back to the back room to put on her clothes, then came to Taizong with a serious face, bowed and said, "Congratulations!" " "This move confused the emperor taizong. She wanted to know what medicine was buried in the gourd, so she was surprised and asked, "Why are you so careful? Queen Sun Qiang replied seriously, "My concubine can't be heterosexual until she hears the knowledge of God. Kevin Z is now a straight man, which shows that your majesty knows clearly, so I hope your majesty. " Emperor Taizong was surprised, and felt that the queen's words were very reasonable, so all the clouds in the sky disappeared, and he saved his position and life. Therefore, the eldest grandson queen is not only generous, but also intelligent.

Li Chenggan, the eldest son and grandson of Emperor Taizong, was made a prince in his early years, and his nurse, Mrs. Sui 'an, was responsible for the daily expenses of the Prince's East Palace. At that time, the imperial court practiced a thrifty expenditure system, and the imperial court was no exception, and the expenditure was very tight. Mrs. Sui 'an often said in front of her grandson, "The prince is the future king and deserves the support of the whole world. However, consumption is now stretched and household appliances are worn out. " Therefore, it has repeatedly asked for an increase in fees. However, the queen's grandson is not tolerant, because she is her beloved son. "As a Japanese, she has been in Chu Jun for a long time, and her patients are not famous for their virtues," she said. Why do you encounter the problem that household appliances are out of stock and unavailable? "Her justice and wisdom won the admiration of all kinds of people in the palace, and everyone was willing to obey her arrangement.

Sun Chang Wuji, the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, was close friends with Li Shimin in his early years. He helped Li Shimin dominate the world and made great contributions. He should be a senior official, but because of the queen's sister, he deliberately avoided leaving any information to others. Emperor Taizong originally wanted Sun Chang Wuji to be the prime minister, but his grandson, the queen, said, "Since my concubine was appointed as a court minister and was in the supreme position, she really didn't want her brothers to form a family image. The trip to Lv Hou in Han Dynasty can be used for reference. Don't treat your brother as prime minister! " Emperor Taizong didn't want to hear it. He felt that it was his own advantages and talents that made Sun Chang Wuji the prime minister. He can "let anyone avoid relatives and friends, except the elite." And Sun Chang Wuji is also very concerned about her sister's relationship. Don't want to be the most important person as a last resort, emperor Taizong had to let him as the third division of the government affairs open ceremony. His position is so high that he is not actually in charge of political affairs. Sun Chang had to refuse. The reason is "I am a spouse, I am a senior official, and I am afraid that the world will say that your majesty is private." Emperor Taizong said seriously, "I want to choose someone to be an official." Only use talents. If there is no talent, even if it is not needed, the magic symbolizing the king is an example; With talent, hatred is inevitable. Wei Zhi is an example. Today's action is not personal. "Sun Chang promised to agree. The brother and sister are honest, selfless and noble people.

Princess Changle is the apple of Emperor Taizong and his grandson's eye. Spoiled since childhood, she is a delicate Jin Yezi. When she was about to get married, she spoiled her parents and suggested that the dowry be twice that of Princess Yongjia. Princess Yongjia, the younger sister of Emperor Taizong, got married in the early Tang Dynasty. At that time, all social strata were waiting for wealth, so the dowry was relatively simple. When Princess Changle got married, she was at the height of her chastity and her national strength was strong. It is not enough to ask for more dowry. Hearing this, Wei Zhi remonstrated with the court and said, "Princess Changle gave Princess Yongjia a wonderful gift. Love and reason are incompatible, they are always orderly. The rules have been set. I hope your majesty will not send a message. " Emperor Taizong dismissed these words. Times are different and the environment is changing, so we don't have to stick to the rules. After returning to the palace, Emperor Taizong casually told his grandson what Wei Zhi said, but his grandson attached great importance to it. She praised: "I often hear that Your Majesty is paying attention to Wei Zhi, but I don't know why; Listening to his sermon today, he actually cited etiquette and justice to suppress the private affairs of the people as masters of the country. I am also a minister who knows the real country. Yu Ji and your majesty have become husband and wife, and they still respect your majesty's lofty status. You must check your majesty's skin color first, and you can't offend easily; Wei Zhi seldom alienates his officials and ministers, so much so that he speaks loudly. Your majesty must abide by it. Therefore, under the control of the eldest grandson, Princess Changle married a very rich dowry.

Queen Sun Qiang not only praised Wei Zhi verbally, but also sent a special envoy from China to give Wei Zhengsi 400 horses and 400 yuan money, and sent a message saying: "I have heard about fairness and integrity for a long time, and I am very grateful to see it now; The public should always remember this and not transfer it. " With the support and encouragement of his eldest grandson, Zheng Wei became more devoted, tried his best, and often made a scene in court, not afraid of offending the emperor and etiquette. Because Emperor Taizong was a loyal minister, he avoided many mistakes and became a wise king. In the final analysis, this is actually the credit of the queen's grandson!

After eight years of observation, the eldest grandson went to Jiucheng Palace with Taizong. On the way back, she caught a cold, which led to a relapse and became more and more serious. Prince Chenggan asked for pardon of prisoners and sent them to the Taoist temple to pray for the treatment of their mothers. The princes felt that the queen's virtues echoed from afar, and even the honest and frank Wei Zhi did not raise any objection; However, the eldest grandson himself firmly opposes it, thinking that "life after death, wealth in the sky, this is a force beyond human control." If blessing can prolong life, I will never do anything bad; It's no use doing good deeds. What's the use of pursuing happiness? Pardon prisoners is a national event, and Taoist temples are also a quiet place. You don't have to disturb it because of me. Why bother the world just because I am a woman! "She deeply understands this sense of justice, and she has never influenced the affairs of state in her life. Everyone was moved to tears. Emperor Taizong had to give up according to her wishes.

After two years of illness, the eldest grandson finally died in Li Zhengtang in the ten-year heat of Zhenguan at the age of 36. On his deathbed, Emperor Taizong was told to be kind to sages and not to let his spouse stand out. After death, ask for a thin burial and keep everything simple. Emperor Taizong did not fully comply with Sun Tzu's wishes. Instead, he ordered the construction of the magnificent Zhaoling Mausoleum and built a special tower in the cemetery so that the queen's soul could see it at any time. The wise emperor wanted to express his admiration and nostalgia for his wife in this way. With his noble character and selfless behavior, Empress Sun Changwang not only won the admiration of Emperor Taizong and people inside and outside the palace, but also set a good example for future generations. When she arrived in Gaozong, she was awarded the honor of "Honest Queen".
