In the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, Li Shimin besieged Wang Shichong in Luoyang. Wang Shichong could not defeat Li Shimin, so he asked Dou Jiande for help. Dou Jiande led an army of 300,000 and slaughtered Luoyang. Li Shimin fought Dou Jiande in a decisive battle at Wugaoguan and captured Dou Jiande alive.
Li Shimin took Dou Jiande to the city of Luoyang and put pressure on Wang Shichong to surrender his gun and not kill him. Wang Shichong negotiated with Li Shimin and demanded that Li Shimin promise not to kill him. Li Shimin promised not to kill Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong surrendered Kaesong. Li Shimin captured the second king in one battle, laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to unify the world.
The man risked his death to come out and fight, saying that it was better to say that it was to relieve the suffering of Li Min. To be practical, it is to grab the land and grab the money to grab the beauty. Li Shimin is no exception, he has won the battle, but also busy robbing beautiful women. After Li Shimin laid siege to Luoyang, he got a pair of very beautiful sister flowers. The older sister's name is Wei Jue, and the younger sister's name is Wei Nizi.
Jingzhao Webster, nearly three feet in the sky. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Jingzhao Wei clan was a High Gate Ling clan. Wei Xiaokuan was an important assistant to Emperor Wen of Sui, and he defeated Wei Chiyi at a critical moment, making a decisive contribution to Yang's assertion of the emperor. After Wei Xiaokuan's death, Emperor Wen of Sui treated his descendants kindly and made Jingzhao Weishi powerful.

Wei Xiaokuan had a son, Wei Zong, who died young, but his son Wei Yuancheng inherited Wei Xiaokuan's title. Wei Yuancheng had a daughter, Wei Jue.
Wei Yuancheng had a younger brother named Wei Kuangbo, who was made the Duke of Shuguo. Wei Kuangbo had a daughter named Wei Nizi. Wei Jue and Wei Nizi are cousins of the same grandfather, and they are both wei Zong's granddaughters.
Wei Jue and Wei Nizi were from the Gaomen Ling clan, so they both married Gao Shuaifu as wives. Wei Jue married Li Min, the son of Li Zixiong, a Sui dynasty general and hubu Shangshu Li Zixiong. Wei Nizi was married to Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanying, who was the crown prince of Wang Shichong, the "Kai Ming Zi". It can be seen that Wei Nizi should be the crown princess of the Great Zheng Dynasty.
In ancient times, the victor snatched the beauty of the loser, which was the custom. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Cao Pi snatched Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law Zhen Mi.
Li Shimin promised not to kill Wang Shichong, but he did not promise not to rob Wang Shichong's daughter-in-law. After Li Shimin entered Luoyang City, he was honest and unceremonious and took Wei Nizi as a concubine.

The person who remarried Li Shimin with Wei Nizi also had his cousin Wei Jue. Wei Jue's husband Li Min had long been killed by the Sui Emperor, and Wei Jue was a widow who remarried li shimin, not that Li Shimin robbed her as a concubine.
Li Shimin's Concubines are not necessarily coveting their beauty, but more likely to win the support of Jingzhao Weishi. The Webster sisters are all married to Li Shimin, and they must score a high and low level.
In ancient times, polygamous concubines were practiced, and a man could only have one wife, but could have several concubines. Li Shimin is a prince and can have a wife, two widows, and ten concubines. Li Shimin's wife was Princess Changsun of Qin. One of Li Shimin's two widows should be Wei Jue. The name of Wei Nizi should be one of the ten concubines.
After Li Shimin became emperor, the eldest grandson naturally became empress. Wei Jue was the noble concubine who became the head of the four concubines, and it was inferred from this that she should be a widow of the Qin Dynasty. The name of Wei Nizi is Zhaorong. Zhaorong is one of the nine concubines, second only to Zhaoyi among the nine concubines. From this, it is inferred that Wei Nizi was one of Li Shimin's ten concubines.

Li Shimin weighs Wei Jue and light Wei Nizi. The reason is very simple, Wei Jue is the eldest granddaughter of Wei Zong, and Wei Nizi is in the order of the family, under Wei Jue, so he is suppressed by his cousin.
Wei Nizi was born in 607 AD, and the time of marriage to Wang Xuanying should be around 619 AD. In ancient times, people married early, and when Wei Nizi married Wang Xuanying, he was not yet 15 years old. When Empress Eldest Sun married Li Shimin, she was 13 years old. The ancients married before 15, which is the norm, but it is not surprising.
Wei Nizi remarried Li Shimin in 621 AD. At that time, Wei Nizi was 15 years old and 14 years old. Now the girl, 15 years old, is still in junior high school. Werniko is 15 years old and has been married twice. It is not surprising that the eldest grandson of the empress became a grandmother at the age of 32. In ancient times, when early marriage was born, anything was possible.
After Wei Nizi remarried to Li Shimin, he did not seem to be favored. Wei Nizi's title has not risen, it has always been Zhaorong. Li Shimin had 14 sons, none of whom were born to Wei Nizi.
After Wei Jue remarried Li Shimin, he gave birth to a son for Li Shimin, Li Shen the Prince of Ji, and a daughter for Li Shimin, Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan. The elder sister Wei Jue gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the younger sister Wei Nizi did not come out. From this, it can be inferred that Wei Nizi is really not as favored as his sister Wei Jue.
After Li Shimin's death, Wei Jue, who had a son, lived with his son Li Shen the Prince of Ji and became a concubine of Ji Guo. Wei Nizi, who had no heirs, could only guard the temple for Li Shimin. Wei Nizi lived alone in Li Shimin's Other Temple Chongsheng Palace, surviving the years of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Witnessed the drama of the martial talents of the past replacing the Queen Wang.
In the first year of Xianqing, in 656 AD, at the age of 50, Wei Nizi, who was 49 years old, died of illness in chongsheng Palace. Ordinary palace people died in the Chongsheng Palace, and the imperial court would give her an epitaph that was mass-produced in advance, engraved with "I don't know who is also", and buried her. Wei Nizi was from the Gaomen Ling clan, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang still gave her a decent funeral.
Wei Nizi had been a concubine of Erpin Jiu during her lifetime, and after her death, Li Zhi posthumously honored her as Yipin. Li Zhi buried Wei Nizi in Li Shimin's Zhaoling Tomb, giving her a rare glory of the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient times, ministers and concubines died naturally and were buried in the imperial tomb, which was a very glorious period. It's not the same thing as killing a living person and being buried. Wei Nizi was only one of the nine concubines, and was not qualified to accompany Zhaoling. Thanks to the blessing of Jingzhao Weishi's golden signboard, Wei Nizi has the qualification to accompany Li Shimin.
A few years later, people dug up the "Tombstone of Emperor Zhaorong Weishi of the Tang Dynasty" and the "Epitaph of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty". Only to know the story of the Webster sisters, remarrying Li Shimin together, and burying Li Shimin together.
