Many people know that the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, not only did it dress avant-garde and bold, but the relationship between men and women was more complicated than that of previous dynasties.
For example, several emperors in the Tang Dynasty have robbed brothers' wives, sons' wives, and fathers' wives, etc., while some powerful women will raise faces.
In these various "chaos", the story of Princess Gaoyang, the daughter of Tang Taizong, has also spread widely.
Princess Gaoyang in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang".
According to legend, Princess Gaoyang was Tang Taizong's favorite daughter, but she did not marry her to the right person.
Princess Gaoyang's husband is Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, but Princess Gaoyang has no feelings for him, and the life of the two is not harmonious. So the princess, feeling depressed, decided to go out on her own to find true love.
He fell in love with a handsome monk in Chang'an, and after pestering him many times, the two finally caught fire, and often cheated after that.
But there is no leaky wall in the world, and this matter finally let Tang Taizong know, even though his beloved daughter pleaded and cried, he still mercilessly ordered the cruel beheading of the debate. But probably because he loved this daughter too much, Tang Taizong did not punish Princess Gaoyang too severely
However, when Taizong died, after Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to power, he later executed Princess Gaoyang?
Why is this, do you think that the royal family is going to kill her sister if something like this happens? In fact, there is more than that.
In the later period, in order to compete for the title and property of the Fang family, he deliberately framed Fang Xuanling's other son Fang Zhizhi for being rude to him, so Li Zhi asked the eldest grandson Wuji to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were rivals before, and this time he will not show mercy to his descendants. So the eldest grandson Wuji checked and found out that Fang Yiai had conspired against Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, and immediately went to Li Zhi to participate in a copy.
In the end, King Jing Li Yuanjing, Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, and many other royal families were implicated, Li Yuanjing and Fang Yiai were given death, and Princess Gaoyang, who had been "willful" all her life, was also given a white silk and committed suicide.
