In the 1970s, experts excavated the tomb of Li Chongrun, the prince of Yide. It is said that Li Chongrun's tomb is the highest specification of the Tang Dynasty tombs excavated by experts so far, and its importance is self-evident. In this archaeological excavation, experts unearthed a large number of cultural relics, among which figurines, three-colored utensils, etc. have very high artistic value, providing direct evidence for China's archaeological community to study the history of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the 40 complete murals found by experts in the tomb are amazing, of which the "Que Lou Honor Guard Map" is the most eye-catching, because the number of halberds in the honor guard symbolizes the status of a person, Princess Yongtai and Prince Zhanghuai only have 12 halberds and 14 halberds respectively, while Li Chongrun has 48 halberds, and the number of honor guards is 196 people, the scene is very spectacular. It can be seen that Li Chongrun's tibetan specifications are no different from the ancient emperor level, and at the same time, it also makes us aware of the meticulous murals of the Tang Dynasty.
But even if Li Chongrun enjoys the specifications of an imperial tomb, when Li Chongrun is mentioned, many people will feel sorry for him. In 682, Li Chongrun was born as Li Xian's eldest son. After Li Chongrun was born, Emperor Gaozong of Tang liked him very much and set up a separate official for him despite the dissuasion of his ministers. As the eldest son of a concubine and also favored by Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Chongrun's life can be described as enviable. But although they were born in the imperial family and enjoyed the envy of ordinary people and had an enviable position of power, the struggle in the palace would kill them at any time.
In 683, Emperor Gaozong of Tang died, and his father Li Xian succeeded him as Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and although Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was the head of a country, his real power was controlled by Wu Zetian. The following year, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was ousted by Wu Zetian and imprisoned. As we all know, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian used the favor of Emperor Gaozong of Tang to intervene in the government affairs of the dynasty, and was also called the "Second Saint" along with Emperor Gaozong of Tang. When Emperor Gaozong of Tang died, Wu Zetian gradually came to power, and in order to take away the Li clan, Wu Zetian did everything he could. After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was imprisoned, Wu Zetian created a son, Li Dan, as Emperor Ruizong of Tang, but was deposed in 690, and Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou.
Wu Zetian was proclaimed empress, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored as crown prince, and Li Chongrun was made King shao. We know that Wu Zetian was called empress dowager, and although he had the ability to govern, his behavior of raising male pets was very absurd, and Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong's brothers were highly favored, and even acted as a blessing in the dynasty. Li Chongrun and his sister Princess Yongtai, Wu Yanji, were killed for privately discussing Wu Zetian's behavior with his male favorite. Li Chongrun was only 19 years old after his death, and he did not marry a wife before his death, which made people sigh endlessly.
After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored to the throne, Li Chongrun was posthumously honored as the Prince of Yide, and at the same time moved his tomb to Qianling for burial.
This archaeology has given archaeologists the ability to study the historical evidence of the Tang Dynasty, and also let the world know about Li Chongrun's lamentable life again. And when large-scale cultural relics were discovered, expert archaeologists also discovered an unacceptable ancient bad habit. When experts cleaned up Li Chongrun's remains, they found that in addition to Li Chongrun's remains, there was also a female remains in the tomb. However, according to the records, Li Chongrun was killed by Wu Zetian at the age of 19, and he did not marry a wife before he died.
Experts said after studying that this is a meditative marriage. It was recorded in the Old Book of Tang that "after Emperor Zhongzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, he posthumously gave Li Li Chongrun the title of Prince of Yide and buried Qianling." He still hired the deceased daughter of Pei Pu, the superintendent of the state, to marry and bury her together. ”
And meditative marriage has always been called an ugly and bad habit in ancient times.
