Although the history of the patriarchal clan ruled for thousands of years, but the female Haojie still has, such as Mulan, Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, Liang Hongyu, etc., in ancient times, the development of women's ability was greatly limited, and there were not many women who could make a name for themselves.
But after all, behind every successful man there is a great woman,
And Li Shimin is a lucky man, and there are women who pay silently behind him
3, who are these women?

1. Empress Eldest Grandson
Regarding empress eldest grandson, we can see from the screen and novel that she is a gentle and delicate, dignified and generous woman with wisdom and resourcefulness, and if Tang Taizong's career is less empress eldest grandson, I believe it will be much inferior.
Li Shimin married the 13-year-old Eldest Sun at the age of 16, which is still a young child in the sixth grade of primary school, but from the historical data, we can see that the 13-year-old Changsun is very precocious, and even appears to be more sophisticated and stable than Li Shimin in many things.
When Changsun was 17 years old, Li Yuan launched a mutiny in Taiyuan, when Li Shimin accompanied Li Yuan to work together in his career, and Changsun also followed her husband to stay in Taiyuan.
Launching a mutiny is not good for li fathers and sons, and it is not easy to block the people's leisurely mouths in Taiyuan, but the 17-year-old Changsun clan can use his kindness and virtue to impress the people, build temples in the local area, understand the sufferings of the people, and the people have praised the li family's second daughter-in-law, and also began to accept the Li father and son.

In addition, the eldest grandson has never been a jealous person, in fact, Li Shimin is also a well-deserved playboy, the so-called love of Jiangshan is more love of beauty, and it is still very appropriate to describe Li Shimin.
From the beginning of being the King of Qin, Li Shimin had many concubines, but the Changsun clan never wasted time on suppressing the concubines, on the contrary, Li Shimin's harem was still peaceful under the care of the Changsun clan, because the Changsun clan was very good at "talking".
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson clan had a relationship before marriage, when the changsun clan was riding a horse when the foot sprained, just happened to encounter Li Shimin to rescue each other, the two talked very happily, because the Changsun clan at that time in accordance with the etiquette with the veil, Li Shimin mistakenly thought that it was another woman, li Shimin was still a little depressed after marriage, and at first he was not intimate with the changsun clan.

Changsun Shi looked in his eyes, and did not explain it bluntly to Li Shimin, but one day he took out the veil to wash and dry, and happened to be seen by Li Shimin, Li Shimin immediately understood that the woman who fell in love with that day was actually his own knotted wife, and the knot in his heart was unraveled, and Changsun Clan cleverly pretended not to know Li Shimin's initial suspicions, and the feelings of the two people naturally sublimated.
There is no trivial record in history of how Empress Changsun took care of the harem, but it records the deeds of Empress Changsun who excused her courtiers several times, from which we can see that Empress Changsun was a strange woman with double business online.
Although Empress Changsun did not interfere with the former dynasty, as a wife, it was inevitable that li Shimin would complain, and Empress Changsun's consolation was very different, she never directly confronted Li Shimin, and every time she would use a small story or small action to resolve the depression in his heart.

For example, Wei Zheng often added to Li Shimin's blockage in the early dynasty, although he knew that his loyalty was against his ears, but after all, he was the emperor, and he was blocked by people every day, Li Shimin was still very depressed in his heart, and after a long time, he would also have a killing heart, and on this day, Li Shimin, who was said by Wei Zheng to grit his teeth, angrily told Empress Eldest Sun that he would kill Wei Zheng sooner or later, so that his mouth that dared to say anything would be closed forever.
Empress Eldest Sun did not say anything after listening to it, but returned to her bedroom to change into a set of empress's imperial clothes, dressed very formally, and came out to make a formal gesture to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was puzzled, and Empress Eldest Sun said slowly: Only when the king is enlightened, the minister dares to speak bluntly, and now that you say that Wei Zheng dares to say anything, doesn't that mean that you are an enlightened monarch? With such a holy kingdom, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!

After Li Shimin listened, his heart was much more comfortable, and it was this theory, it seemed that he would pay more attention to Wei Zheng. It can be said that Wei Zheng was able to keep his head for so long, and he had a close relationship with Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun died early at the age of 36, Li Shimin was grief-stricken, he bluntly said that Empress Changsun had a lot of influence on his life, so the title was: Empress Wende, so it is not too much to say that the woman behind Li Shimin, the first place in the ranking is Empress Changsun, after all, in Li Shimin's most important adolescent years, it is this tough and gentle woman who accompanies him all the way.

2. Mother Dou's
It is said that when Li Shimin's mother Dou Shi was born, her hair actually grew to the neck, and the old people said that the more hair the baby, the smarter it was, and Dou Shi was indeed a naturally intelligent person. Although this is just folklore, dou's growth is really unusual.
Dou clan was born noble, her uncle was Emperor Wu of Zhou, who grew up in the palace by his uncle since childhood, but there was no princess disease, she was not only understanding, tenacious, but also very political, and she was also carefully cultivated to treat children.
Li Shimin said that when he was a child, he was counted as a gua, and his fate was to save the world and save the people, and Dou Secretly felt that his second son might be unusual in the future, so he named him Shimin, and he also paid close attention to Li Shimin's education, teaching him to read in the Tang King's Cave for a long time.
When Li Shimin recalled his mother in his later years, he always couldn't help but burst into tears, which showed that it had a profound impact on his personality.

Third, the grandmother is lonely
Why was Grandma also ranked among these three important women? Just as the so-called tiger father has no dog, an excellent father can cultivate an outstanding son, half of Li Shimin's excellent genes come from Li Yuan, and Li Yuan can become a talent thanks to his mother Du Gushi.
In the TV series, dugushi is portrayed as a narrow woman who is willful and selfish, and does not hesitate to rob her sister's fiancé in order to achieve her own goals, but the historical Dugushi is a wise and beautiful Kennaisuke.
Dugu and Li Yuan's father, Li Xun, the Duke of Tang, were united under the blessing of their elders, and they supported each other and gave birth to four sons and a daughter. Dugu Shi attaches great importance to the education of her children, and although the Tang Dynasty is rich and noble, she still teaches her children to study diligently and be humble and filial.

Therefore, Li Yuan's personality is stable and simple, and he is also very peaceful, and his good temper that can hold his breath is very rare among martial generals, and such a personality has benefited Li Yuan a lot in his career, all thanks to the foresight of DuGushi.
The kindness and calmness in Li Yuan's personality was inherited from Li Shimin, which was indeed of great help to his career development, so the third woman who had a profound influence on Li Shimin was his grandmother.
It can be seen that if you want to cultivate a generation of mingjun and cultivate a person who is useful to society, mothers and family style are very important, respecting women, and improving women's status have a major impact on the speed of social development.
