The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
On July 2, 626, after the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed on the spot, and all 10 sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also killed. Li Yuanji's nest princess Yang Shi was incorporated into the palace life by Li Shimin very well, and gave Li Shimin a son named Li Ming. However, Li Jiancheng's crown princess Zheng Guanyin was "ignored" by Li Shimin, and according to historical records, the crown princess Zheng Guanyin spent the rest of her life "mourning her deceased husband and raising young orphans all day long".
Regarding the merits of the "change of Xuanwumen", we will not say anything, because the king was defeated, Li Shimin was victorious, and the tang dynasty was created, which can indeed be called a heroic strategy. Why did Li Shimin marry Yang Shi? First of all, the Yang family is really beautiful, the long "jade appearance snow skin, the eyebrows are picturesque", and the most important thing is that the Yang family is very powerful behind it. Yang was born in the Hongnong Yang clan, was the niece of Yang Xiong, the King of Suiguan, and was also the niece of Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Marrying her was equivalent to marrying the Yang clan of Hongnong at that time, which had a great impact on stabilizing the political situation in the early Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shimin entered the palace with the Yang clan, and his advisers were all supportive.
In addition, Li Shimin's move was also intended to eliminate the bad influence brought about by the Xuanwumen coup and marry his brother-in-law Yang Shi, also in order to express to the world his tolerance for the enemy and to be able to give the enemy a huge "favor". However, since Li Shimin was able to "accept" his sister-in-law Yang Shi, why did he "ignore" his sister-in-law, Li Jiancheng's "crown princess" Zheng Guanyin? Is she not good-looking? How can Li Jiancheng be married as a princess, how can she look ugly?
The epitaph records: "Shu Yun Lou Ting, the night of the bright moon and the galaxy; Shao Zi Wan, and the wind and peach and plum." And she was 27 years old at the time, younger than Li Shimin! Behind Zheng Guanyin, there is also a noble family - xingyang zheng family! The Zheng clan is a warrior clan, unlike the Huhua Guanlong Gate Valve, they can't accept their own clan daughters to marry a waiter, and Li Shimin's harem is three thousand, why bother with themselves, there is no strongman!
Zheng Guanyin's status as a "princess concubine" also determines its particularity. If there is no coup d'état of Li Shimin, Zheng Guanyin is the future empress, the mother of the world, if Li Shimin comes over, where will he be placed? Li Shimin was certainly reluctant to establish her as empress, and besides, Li Shimin still had empress dowager at that time. After the Coup d'état at Xuanwumen, Li Shimin killed all of Li Jiancheng's sons, including Zheng Guanyin's children, how could she not hate Li Shimin? In order to avoid trouble, Li Shimin simply did not marry her.
Zheng Guanyin's epitaph records: "Han Yufang lead, uniquely fond of etiquette. It shows that Zheng Guanyin is a dignified and respectful person, Li Shimin killed her husband and her son, she has no way to avenge, but she will never be his woman. After the change of Xuanwu Gate, she was placed under house arrest for fifty years, although she had fine clothes and jade food, but it was not her favorite, and she never loved Chinese clothes, rouge gouache, and only loved to read. In the palace, there are many taboos, and there are many restrictions on movement. In 676, at the age of 78, Zheng Guanyin died inside the Changle Gate.
