Tang Taizong Li Shimin had many children in his lifetime. History records fourteen princes and twenty-one princesses.
Although in some film and television works, Princess Gaoyang, who fell in love with the debater monk, was often set as The favorite daughter of Tang Taizong. But this is not the case.
Empress Eldest Sun in film and television dramas (Tong Ailing version)
Among so many heirs, he valued the children born to the empress dowager the most, and the crown princes he appointed were all sons of the empress dowager. Similarly, his favorite daughter was born to empress dowager.
Empress Eldest Sun gave birth to four daughters: Princess Changle, Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang and Princess Xincheng. These four daughters were extremely favored by Tang Taizong.
Among these four daughters, if you have to say who is his favorite daughter, it should be Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang.
Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang, a young character.
The word Mingda is a commonly used word in Buddhism, ming refers to sanming, and da refers to three da. Symbolizes wisdom and understands the world. The characters in the dagger can be glimpsed from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "Shun buried east, Xiangshui south." It is shaped like an ox, black, and a horn. "It's a robust and lively unicorn." Poor parents in the world, Tang Taizong gave his daughter such a nickname, probably hoping that she could be healthy and grow up safely.
The title of Princess of Jinyang: Jinyang, is also extraordinary. Gaozu Li Yuan once said: "When you revolt against Jinyang, you will ascend to the throne." That is to say, Jinyang was the land of Li Tang's Longxing.
For the supreme emperor, what method can be used to show deep love for his daughter? Seal the places he values most and cares about to her the most, and thus tell the world of his preferences.
The title of Li Mingda as the Princess of Jinyang is enough to reflect the extremely important position of this little daughter in the heart of Li Shimin, who sits in the world.
When Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang was five years old, Empress Changsun died, and Tang Taizong was so sad that he personally raised his young daughter, and the history books recorded: "The King of Jin and the Princess of Jinyang, young and lonely, were raised by their relatives and bowed."
Princess Jinyang was also the only princess in Chinese history to be raised by the emperor himself.
Princess Jinyang was intelligent by nature, good at calligraphy, copying flying white, and was very similar to Tang Taizong's characters, almost to the extent that it could be faked.
At a time when Tang Taizong was furious with his ministers because of the affairs of the dynasty, as soon as he saw Princess Jinyang, Tang Taizong's anger would disappear. Therefore, Princess Jinyang would often speak softly to defend the ministers and protect the ministers under her father's anger.
Based on this, many ministers were grateful to Princess Jinyang. And this is the same as the eldest grandson empress.
It is only a pity that Princess Jinyang died of illness at the age of twelve. Even though her parents gave her a nickname of great meaning, her father gave her a noble status and endless pampering. But the clouds are easy to disperse, and the glass is fragile. Princess Jinyang thus remained forever in a carefree and beautiful childhood, and stayed in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
