Tang Taizong Li Shimin is well known in history as a very wise monarch, he spent his life on the battlefield, a lifetime of horseback, and enjoyed a high reputation in politics. Li Shimin had a total of thirty-five children in his lifetime, the youngest of whom was named princess of Xincheng. Today we will pick up this princess.
Princess Xincheng's mother was Empress Changsun, who was initially crowned Princess Hengshan.
There is a saying in the "Six Classics of Tang": "All famous mountains, Dachuan and Qinei County shall not be sealed", that is to say, in the Tang Dynasty, the famous mountains and rivers could not be used as titles, but princess Xincheng was named princess of Hengshan County when she was eight years old, which shows The heart of Emperor Taizong's beloved daughter.
Moreover, after princess Xincheng had a real seal, Emperor Taizong also added to her endowment, and ordinary princesses could only be enfeoffed with Tang Muyi before they got married, all of which Princess Xincheng had when she was eight years old, and Emperor Taizong really had nothing to say about his little daughter. Princess Xincheng is really cute, and she must be a cute little Lolita.
Princess Xincheng was married by Emperor Taizong of Tang when she was nine years old, and her fiancé was Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu. The marriage was only given to appease Wei Zheng, because Wei Zheng was seriously ill and was about to die.
After Tang Taizong knew that Wei Zheng was seriously ill, he rewarded many valuable medicinal herbs. However, life, old age, illness and death are really impossible for manpower to resist, and the doctors are helpless against Wei Zheng's illness.
Tang Taizong recalled the Wei Zheng who had been living in the court and risking death to direct advice, and then looked at the man who was now thin with only a handful of bones, and he had a heart of pity, and he wanted to give his favorite princess to Wei Zheng's son to show his favor to Wei Zheng.
Emperor Taizong pulled princess Xincheng over and said to Wei Zheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, "Wei Zheng, look at your daughter-in-law." Unfortunately, Wei Zheng was already too sick to open his eyes, and he went there in two days.
However, a few months after Wei Zheng's death, because of the accident of the person he recommended before his death, Wei Zheng was charged with the crime of improper recommendation, and Li Shimin immediately dismissed this family affair. Indeed, a few years after Wei Zheng's death, Wu Zetian ascended the throne and changed Li Tang to Zhou Wu.
For the sake of his daughter's marriage, Tang Taizong again carefully selected, and finally finally finalized the marriage for his daughter on February 6, 649, his wife's birthday, and gave Princess Hengshan to the eldest son of Changsun Cao. Changsun Cao was the uncle of Princess Hengshan of Xincheng, princess Hengshan's mother, Empress Changsun, and the eldest grandson family of the early Tang Dynasty was favored by Emperor Taizong, counting the eldest grandson interpretation, the eldest grandson family was already a princess of Sishang. Because of the eldest grandson's interpretation of shang lord, Emperor Taizong deliberately promoted his father, Sun Cao, to the position of assassin of Qi Prefecture. After that, it may be foreseen that the deadline is approaching, and Tang Taizong began to prepare for the marriage of Hengshan, but unfortunately, because the princess's wedding process was too complicated, until Taizong's death, the wedding could not be completed in its entirety, and the preparatory work was also interrupted, and it was a great regret for Taizong not to see his daughter get married before he died.
Princess Hengshan had to observe filial piety for three years according to the rules of etiquette because of the sudden death of her father, and the marriage was once again suspended. It was not until May 23, 652, the third year of Yonghui (652), after serving three years of mourning, that the wedding of Princess Hengshan and the eldest grandson was officially completed under the mediation of emperor's brother Gaozong LiZhi. In order to celebrate his little sister's new marriage, Emperor Gaozong specially renamed her as the princess of Xincheng County, and added 5,000 households to the city. After marriage, the feelings of the princess and husband of the new city princess should be very good: "Tune the qinser, rhyme and reed." The concubine of the sea is the wife of the world." Two years later, Emperor Gaozong made Wu Zetian empress. Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Princess Hengshan's maternal uncle, Princess Hengshan' chancellor Sun Wuji, fell for opposing Li Wushi as empress. Not only did changsun Wuji share the same surname, but his sister also married Han Yan(Han), an ally of Changsun Wujie, and was therefore exiled to The Prefecture of Xia (present-day Xichang, Sichuan), and assassinated by Wu Zetian's henchmen in the fourth year of Xianqing (659). Princess Xincheng should be dissatisfied with her husband's treatment, and from then on she stopped grooming and dressed, expressed her protest with silence, and formed a vendetta with Wu Zetian from then on.
The eldest grandson family suffered, the eldest grandson was implicated in exile in Weizhou and killed by the magistrate, the princess was very dissatisfied, and she was heartbroken for her husband, and never dressed up again, expressing her resentment with a silent and negative attitude.
In the end, Tang Gaozong still felt sorry for his sister and could not bear her to be so depressed, so he pointed out a marriage for her and married her to Wei Zhengjue from Jingzhao Weishi. Wei Zhengjue, because of his still lordship, was promoted from a fengmian doctor to a palace supervisor of zhengsanpin in a short period of time, and was promoted to eight levels in a row, and for a while he was in a flat and prosperous state. However, Tang Gaozong forgot to consider his sister's mood. The princess and the eldest grandson were in love with Mei Satisfied, and before they could come out, they hurriedly married the princess again. After the princess got married, she could not forget her ex-husband, and she did not get along well with the new horse, so that there were rumors that Wei Zheng was rude to the princess.
In the third year of Long Shuo, the princess of Xincheng fell ill, and after Emperor Gaozong learned about it, he built a Jianfu Temple for his sister to pray for blessings, but in the end he could not save his sister's hasty death, and it was not long before the princess died of illness. The final Chinese New Year's Eve years. The death of his sister, Tang Gaozong was grief-stricken and could not accept it. Ordered to be interrogated and investigated, Wei Zhengju could not argue, and Emperor Gaozong was furious, so he angered Ma Wei Zhengzhi, believing that he had caused the death of the princess. He killed Wei Zhengji.
In order to make up for his sister and give her the honor of mourning after her death, Emperor Gaozong of Tang ordered that princess Xincheng be buried as empress.
