After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne and established the Tang Dynasty. Behind this brilliance, there is a heartbreaking past.
It is said that Li Shimin's brother Li Jiancheng once had a beautiful wife named Ji Ji. She was born in a famous family, gentle and virtuous, and won Li Jiancheng's favor. Fate made people, Li Jiancheng was killed in the Xuanwumen Change, and Ji Ji became Li Shimin's sister-in-law.
Li Shimin had coveted her beauty for a long time, and he forcibly seized her and imprisoned her in the deep palace. Tortoise Ji cursed Li Shimin day and night, and her heart was full of resentment. In order to appease the tortoise, Li Shimin took away her daughter after she gave birth and raised her in the palace.
Having lost her daughter, she had a nervous breakdown and went crazy all day long, like a walking corpse. In order to atone for his sins, Li Shimin invited a highly respected monk to preach the scriptures and teachings for the tortoise. The monk told Li Shimin that Ji Ji's madness was not due to the loss of her daughter, but because her heart was full of resentment.
After Li Shimin heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He realized that he had committed an unpardonable sin and that he could not recover what he had lost. Since then, whenever Li Shimin thinks of Ji Ji, his heart is full of remorse, and he cherishes his wife Empress Changsun even more.
The beauty of the tortoiseshell made Li Shimin's heart move, and he even broke his liver and intestines for a while. After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin seized power and also took away the tortoise. He had promised not to harm his nephews, but after capturing her, he took her daughter away, causing her to have a nervous breakdown. Li Shimin handed over Gao Yang, the daughter of the tortoise, to the eldest grandson empress to raise, lied to the outside world that she was the queen's own child, and strictly forbade anyone to reveal the truth. He turned his guilt for Tak Ji into his love for Gao Yang, and did his best to take care of this daughter.
Li Shimin hopes to preach the Dharma for the tortoise through the debate, hoping that the wisdom of the Dharma can heal the wounds in the heart of the tortoise, and also hopes that through the debate, the tortoiseshell can forgive his mistakes. Gao Yang learned the truth about his life experience from the conversation between Ji Ji and the debate machine by chance. She was completely disappointed in Li Shimin and resented him from then on.
In order to take revenge on Li Shimin, after Gao Yang married Fang Yiai, he did not have a round house with her husband, but fornicated with the debater, and gave birth to a son, forcing the Fang family to raise him. This scandal humiliated the Fang family, and Fang Xuanling was depressed, and finally returned to the west. Li Shimin was furious when he learned about this, and he thoroughly investigated the details of the debate machine, and found that the debate machine was actually the descendant of the general Zong who was killed in the "Xuanwumen Change". Li Shimin, who was full of grief and indignation, ordered the debate machine to be cut in half and completely broke with Gao Yang.
When he was dying, Li Shimin summoned Ji Ji to confess his sins to her and beg for her forgiveness. Tortoiseface is finally relieved and forgives the man who had hurt her. Li Shimin's life is a brilliant life, but also a sad life. His life is mixed, there are no winners in Game of Thrones, and even if he wins, he may lose something more valuable.
