Many people like to study history, and some historical figures are also very thoroughly studied, and when people study historical figures, they will have a skeptical attitude toward what happened to some historical figures, which raises many questions. There is a question that is asked like this: Princess Gaoyang of the Han Dynasty was sentenced to be beheaded by her own biological father, does this really exist? In fact, many people are mistaken.
First, there was no Princess Gaoyang in the Han Dynasty, in fact, there was no Princess Gaoyang during the Han Dynasty, Princess Gaoyang was the daughter of Tang Taizong, and it was not Princess Gaoyang who was sentenced to be beheaded, so this topic had already mistaken the historical facts at the very beginning. During the Han Dynasty, no princess was given the title of Princess of Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang during the Tang Dynasty was the beloved daughter of Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, and at that time, it was rumored that Princess Gaoyang had a love affair with the monk of the Debater. Li Shimin was very angry, because Princess Gaoyang had already promised to Fang Xuanling's son, so this kind of thing was detrimental to the royal face. In the end, Li Shimin was not willing to kill his daughter, but beheaded the monk, so from the historical facts, it was simply incorrect.
Second, why is this problem? In fact, there is another rumor in history, where a princess of the Han Dynasty was sentenced to the death of a beheaded princess, and this princess was Princess Wei chang. Many historical records record that Princess Wei Chang was sentenced to waist beheading, but in fact, Princess Wei Chang was the eldest daughter of Wei Zifu. However, many rumors only have such a sentence, and do not write a specific reason. But this is just some rumors, as long as we look through the real historical materials, we will find that there are indeed people who have been sentenced to waist beheading, but it is not Princess Weichang, but Princess Weichang's second husband Luan Da, and the real history is that Princess Weichang's second husband Luan Da was sentenced to waist beheading, not Princess Weichang.
Third, will the princess really be sentenced to the sentence of beheading? In fact, we must first understand the criminal law of waist beheading, which requires the prisoner to fully expose the upper body, and then cut the person in half, and the princess is also the daughter or sister of the emperor, and is also the royal family of a country, which is also the face of the royal family. So no emperor was willing to punch himself in the face and sentence his daughter or sister to such a criminal law. Because this is also a loss of royal dignity. Even if a princess commits a great sin, she is only given death in the end. Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty was finally killed by Li Longji, not beheaded.
Therefore, this question has been mistaken in the most basic historical facts at the very beginning, and we must know that the Han Dynasty did not have Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Gaoyang was the princess of Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Secondly, as a princess of a country, it is impossible to be easily punished by the waist beheading, because the punishment of the waist beheading is also detrimental to the royal face.
