In the eyes of most people, Wu Zetian was a very brutal monarch. When she was still a concubine in the harem, she could frame the empress by mutilating her own children, not to mention, she gradually became the favorite concubine of Tang Gaozong from a former emperor's talent, which was really not something that ordinary people could do. Moreover, she had never been soft on power, even her own children, let alone other children.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Consort Xiao had two daughters, one named Princess Xuancheng and the other princess Yiyang. Originally, according to the cultivation of the Tang Dynasty, these two princesses should be very confident and very flamboyant. Unfortunately, their mother was killed because she competed with Wu Zetian for favors and failed. As the daughters of Concubine Xiao Shufei, they were also greatly suppressed, and with the death of their mother, they were also punished into the Cold Palace and grew up there.
It can be said that the changes in their life trajectories have a very big relationship with Wu Zetian. Although it is said that many history books say that these two princesses were suppressed by Wu Zetian and did not marry until they were thirty years old. Logically, this should be true, but when we look for some literature, we will find that in fact, these two princesses are still married, and marrying people is not what people call "concierges".
Princess Yiyang, who was married to Quan Yi, served as an assassin and a general of the Right Guard. Another person, princess Xuancheng, was married to Yingzhou's assassin Wang Xun. It can be said that although these two people are not very honorable, they still have official positions and are worthy of people's high looks. But unfortunately, the ending of these two people was not so good, because later they were still related to Wu Zetian.
The two men were consorts and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and in the face of Wu Zetian's rule and Wu Zetian's hegemony, in 691 they participated in actions against Wu Zetian. Unfortunately, in that year, their opposition could not be realized, and their actions allowed Wu Zetian to kill both of them in turn. After this action, Princess Yiyang died soon after, and Princess Xuancheng was imprisoned.
The two princesses and their horses waited until fourteen years later, after the Shenlong Revolution, to regain their proper name. After the members of the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, they were rewarded with both princesses, and they were able to restore many of their rewards. But in the end, it was too late, these two princesses were delayed by Wu Zetian, even if it was a good life later, it was only one person who could enjoy it!
Tell me, these two princesses are not very miserable!
