After the death of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin left a fifteen concubines, of course, this is a more famous woman, and other women are not counted in the list of considerations.
After all, Emperor Li Shimin had more than a dozen women. Usually said three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, plus 82 women, I am not very good at counting, you help me calculate? Li Shimin's descendant, Emperor Tang Ming, has 3,000 harem beauties, and Li Shimin is no longer good, at least one-third of him.
Li Zhi was the son of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and after Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi completely accepted his father's beautiful little mother. But it's still good for them.
The "one queen" in Li Shimin's "One Queen and Fifteen Concubines" refers to Li Zhi's old mother, Li Shimin's eldest grandson Empress, who was the mother of the successor emperor Li Zhi, who had died before Li Zhi succeeded to the throne. So there are 15 concubines, that is, Li Zhi's beautiful little mother, how do they end up?
After Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi accepted all of Li Shimin's concubines, probably because these concubines were so beautiful. Cao Pi also inherited all of his father's concubines after Cao Cao's death.
The Fifteen Concubines refer to Li Shimin's empress Dowager Li Zhi's mother and Li Shimin's fifteen favorite concubines. Li Zhi's mother died when Li Zhi was a child, and it is said that Wu Zetian was very similar to the empress because of the dance of the Lanling King's entry, which caused Li Shimin to have a brief relationship with her.
Among these fifteen concubines, the more famous one was The Sui Emperor's sister Yang Fei, and Li Zhi was also good to her after inheriting her, and Yang Fei had already become numb after several twists and turns.
Xu Hui, is the legend of Wu Meiniang's Xu Xianfei, in the TV series, she is a big villain, in fact, the historical Xu Concubine Xianliang Shude, not only knows the book, but also very talented. After Li Shimin's death, Concubine Xu did not want to eat, and when she was only 24 years old, she died of incense, and Li Zhi posthumously honored her as Xu Xianfei.
And Wu Meiniang, on the other hand, is more legendary. When Li Shimin was alive, she got together with Li Zhi, and later developed this true love into an empress, and finally became a generation of empresses, which can be described as a model of grassroots counterattack.
There are three main ways to treat it:
1. Best: Re-enter the palace and become empress. Representative figure: Wu Zetian
Wu Zetian was only a humble talent during the reign of Emperor Taizong and was not favored. After Li Shimin's death, she was taken back to the harem by Li Zhi, first as Zhaoyi and then as empress. The husband and wife gave birth to six children in succession, and Wu Zetian later became a female emperor, so it can be said that Li Zhi treated her quite well. Throughout China's history, there are few similar cases.
2. Medium: Moved to the domain and defected to the representative figures of his son: Wei Guifei and Yan Defei
Not the empress, nor the emperor's biological mother, but gave birth to a prince. After the death of Emperor Xian, he could leave the palace, make a concubine, and defect to the son of the prince, such as Wei Guifei. In her later years, she lived with her son Li Shen, the King of Ji, who was very filial and would greet his mother sooner or later, and Princess Wei Guifei was also very satisfied with this. Emperor Gaozong of Tang also had great respect for Wei Guifei, and if there was a banquet or something, he would invite her to attend, after all, he was an elder. During the Qianfeng period, he wanted to let Wei Guifei make a final sacrifice during the Zen ceremony, but unfortunately, as soon as he walked to Luoyang, Wei Guifei cried out for his life. Li Zhi was particularly sad to hear the news and was buried in Dongdu. Concubine Yan's son was Li Zhen the Prince of Yue, who was given the title of Princess of Yue after Li Shimin's death, in a situation similar to that of Princess Wei.
3. Difference: Monastic as a nun, long companion green lantern ancient Buddha representative figure: the silent majority
Those who have sons can run to their sons, those who do not have sons, sorry, can only become a nun, they can't always lie in the palace without leaving, the new emperor also has to choose concubines, where do you let the new people live? After renunciation, every day is to chant and pray for the blessing of the previous emperor, and life is basically like this, there will be no major changes. When the time comes, rush to Huangquan.
