As we all know, Li Zhi was the son of Emperor Taizong of Tang and the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Emperor Gaozong of Tang. During his reign, he insisted on implementing various political initiatives formulated by Emperor Taizong. It can be said that it is conscientious and conscientious, and the people are said to have a virtuous heritage. Emperor Gaozong of Tang died at the age of 56 and was buried in Qianling. Anecdotes about his human fate have been commented on by later generations of people. There are also many mysteries that posterity is greatly puzzled. For example, Emperor Gaozong's sister Princess Xincheng, who was originally a princess, was buried as an empress. At that time, the subjects were all confused. A thousand years later, the Shaanxi Institute of Archaeology and several major archaeological institutions in the United Nations conducted in-depth archaeological research on the tomb of princess Xincheng, and through the fragmentary murals and historical materials, this ancient mystery was solved.
Princess Xincheng was the most beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang. She was also emperor Gaozong's only younger sister. It is a royal favorite. Princess Xincheng has been ice and snow smart since she was a child, and her temperament is gentle and meticulous. Li Shimin was angry about the court. Princess Xincheng knew her father's heart at a young age. Gentle persuasion plus cute assists. It was a great relief to my father. More loved.
Princess Xincheng was loved by her father, and her relationship with her brother Li Zhi was also particularly close. Because the feelings of brothers and sisters growing up together naturally became deeper and deeper, Li Zhi was fourteen years old and had begun to need to participate in the government of the dynasty, and seeing his brother who had played together since childhood put on the imperial dress and become an adult, the princess of Xincheng was very reluctant in her heart. Whenever he pulled on the corner of his brother's clothes and cried, Li Zhi was also in pain in his heart. But royal children, after all, need to consult the affairs of the court, the innocence of childhood, laughter and companionship always have to pass.
Originally, the princess of Xincheng would also have a happy life, after all, she had the love of her father and the care of her brother. There is also the care that royal children can enjoy. But the fate of the creation of people is not always unchanged. Princess Xincheng experienced three marriages in her life at a young age. Perhaps it was these three turbulent marriages that she could not bear and eventually became depressed. Get sick and die.
In the first marriage, Tang Taizong married his daughter to Wei Shuyu, the son of his most trusted courtier, Wei Zheng. At that time, Wei Zheng was seriously ill and dying, and Emperor Taizong took the crown prince and the princess of Xincheng to visit, and he held the skinny hand of the terminally ill Aichen. Concerned asked Wei Zheng what other wishes he had not yet made, Wei Zheng trembled and expressed his heart: "Concubines do not sympathize with Wei, and worry about the death of Emperor Zhou!" This means that the widow does not worry about the lack of threads to weave, but only worries about the rise and fall of the country. This sentence made Tang Taizong burst into tears and was greatly moved, and he promised on the spot to marry his beloved little daughter to Wei Zheng's son. Wei Zheng only felt that his grace was as heavy as a mountain, and he was touched and excited, but he died the next day because of his aggravated illness. Companions are like companions of tigers, and the darkness of the ChaotangQuan Technique is like an abyss. Princess Xincheng and Wei Shuyu had only been married for three months, and Tang Taizong repented, because the two important ministers that Wei Zheng had recommended had made mistakes, one was killed for rebellion and the other was deposed. The person recommended by the most trusted courtier was so untrustworthy, and Emperor Taizong was indignant, and in anger, he ordered the end of this short marriage on the spot. At this time, the princess was young and ignorant, and she was not too sad because of this.
After the hasty end of this marriage, Emperor Taizong was still not at ease with his daughter's marriage, he could not sleep at night, and after thinking about it, there was a new candidate, that is, Empress Changsun's cousin Sun Yi, Empress Dowager He Xuren, who was the wife of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen and was later crowned empress. The relationship between the two is very close like glue. However, he died of illness at the age of thirty-six. Emperor Taizong lost his equally young beloved wife at such a young age, and he missed him day by day. Aiwu and Wuxia decided to give their daughter Princess Xincheng to the nephew of Empress Changsun, and it was announced on the birthday of Empress Changsun, which was evident in the deep love between the husband and wife. As the saying goes, once you enter the Houmen, the sea is as deep as the sea, and the struggle in the court is endless, and this fate is not something that the young princess of Xincheng can grasp. Everything changed with Wu Zetianwu's second entry into the palace.
Wu Zetian also crawled and fought in the Dark Palace. She was the wife of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, but she was not favored at the time, and later after Emperor Taizong fell seriously ill, he had a secret affair with Emperor Taizong's son Li Zhi, and after Emperor Taizong's death, Wu Zetian cut his hair and became a nun for a period of time, and was later re-entered the palace by Zhao, and was given the title of Zhaoyi by Emperor Gaozong. In the past, there were relatives of the eldest grandson empress who held high positions of power, but after that, the big tree of Emperor Gaozong now relied on cooling. Inevitably, in a war for power, the poor Empress Eldest Sun faction, under the operation of Wu Zetian, killed and killed, and deposed and dismissed. Empress Eldest Sun's nephew was in charge of the royal vehicles in the palace at that time, and it was impossible to be too involved in political affairs, but it was also inevitable that he would be framed and exiled to Yunnan and killed soon after. The poor princess of Xincheng became a widow again, and a happy life became a victim of politics. But Emperor Taizong was dead and had nowhere to go. Since childhood, his brother, who has been intimate, has become a helper for his own destruction of his own happiness. The death of the true love Sun Yi made princess Xincheng inevitably cold to her brother Gaozong. But at this time, Emperor Gaozong had no choice but to use materials to make up for his debt to his sister.
Her sister Princess Xincheng was not in good health, missed her deceased husband, and hated Wu Meiniang, whose heart was like a snake and scorpion. But only cold to his brother Tang Gaozong. After all, Gaozong was an older brother and she couldn't hate it, but Wu Meiniang was also the wife of her brother, just like the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law were not harmonious, and the brother-in-law killed her husband. Therefore, at this time, the relationship between Gaozong and princess Xincheng was very awkward, and the princess of Xincheng could only be indifferent. Seeing that the princess's mood was depressed and depressed all day long, and her body was not as good as a day, Gaozong was anxious. He thought of finding another husband for the princess. Wei Zhengju, who was good at flattery and flattery, was selected at this time, because princess Xincheng had always been favored by her father and brother, and Wei Zhengzheng had soared to the sky, rising to the eighth level in a row. Life has reached its peak. However, Princess Xincheng was still depressed in the tragic death of her ex-husband and past memories, and seeing that the princess was not happy after marriage, she did not know where to spread the rumors of Wei Zhengzheng's domestic violence, which naturally reached the emperor's ears. In March of the third year of Long Shuo, it was originally a warm spring, but this year's spring was exceptionally cold, and the princess of Xincheng died of illness in the South Garden of Chang'an Tong rail fang, and finally Chinese New Year's Eve years old. That's how life ends. The then husband of princess Xincheng was also angered by the angry Tang Gaozong and ended up in a different place. In fact, it is also wrong, the princess of the new city is the biggest boost to his career life, how can he treat his own fate nobles like this. But under all kinds of coincidences and blessings of fate, they can only end up like this.
On the other hand, the life of princess Xincheng is a rose with gold and jade, although the gold is precious, although she is pampered, but she can't help herself, she is always planted in an inappropriate place, and the person who loves others is sincerely good for her, but in the dark, she has ruined her true happiness. The splendid embroidery of the Imperial City is no warmer than the cold door burrow.
And the last straw that crushed the camel was, unfortunately, his brother. Emperor Gaozong could not suppress his grief, but he also knew in his heart that he had caused the current ending. Let the sister become a widow. The reason is that both of them know it, and since then there has been a deep estrangement, and they can never go back to the beautiful past. Perhaps Emperor Gaozong's burial of his sister Princess Xincheng with the courtesy of empress dowager also expressed his guilt from another aspect. But people are dead, and she doesn't know how perfect they are. It can only be left for posterity to sigh for a lifetime, a bitter joke.
