Empress Guo in the palace's plan, in the play she flew high, was the main villain, and finally ended up with a desolate death.
The historical Empress Guo also had great ups and downs in her life, and the ending was lamentable.
Guo Guifei was born in Taiyuan Guo clan, her grandfather was Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang who had the merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty and quelling the anshi rebellion, her father Guo Huan was a donkey horse du wei, and her mother was Princess Shengping, the concubine of the Tang Dynasty.
Her parents, Daimyo, are estimated to have been heard by most people, and her parents are the protagonists of the famous drama, drunkenly beating the golden branch.
And Guo Guifei was the younger daughter of Princess Shengping and Guo Huan. She is also the granddaughter of Emperor Tang of Tang. Such a prominent family lineage must have created her extraordinary life.
In the ninth year of Zhen yuan, Guo Guifei married her cousin nephew, the then King of Guangling, and later Tang Xianzong, Li Chun.
In that year, ten miles of red makeup and colorful lights, the King of Guangling personally went to the Princess Shengping Palace to greet the Guo family, and all the etiquette was the highest standard, reflecting the respect for the prominent Guo family.
Although he is a cousin and nephew who is one generation behind, he is similar in age. The newly married couple had a sweet and warm time, and Guo gave birth to Li Chun's third son in the eleventh year of Zhenyuan. And the father-in-law and cousin, Tang Shunzong, who was still the crown prince at the time, was even more spoiled by his aunt Princess Shengping.
That time must be the most smooth time for the Guo family, with a cousin to protect, a strong mother's family as a patron, a husband who loves and children, as the original match of the main room, the future will definitely be able to be in the middle of the palace mother's world.
In 805, Emperor Dezong of Tang died, and Li Shu, who had been crown prince for twenty-six years, succeeded to the throne.
The good times did not last long, and Li Shu's "Yongzhen Reform" offended both eunuchs and emissaries with heavy soldiers. Emperor Shunzong of Tang, who had been on the throne for less than a year, was forced to abdicate the throne by the eunuch Ju Wenzhen to the crown prince at the time, and Guo's husband Jun ascended the throne as emperor for Tang Xianzong.
A few months later, Tang Shunzong Li Shu died quietly in the palace. It is said that his son Tang Xianzong conspired with eunuchs to be poisoned. What the historical truth is is no longer known. The court battles are so brutal.
At this time, Guo Shi still had a naïve dream, hoping that her husband would ascend to the throne of God, she could become the empress of the mother's world, and reality gave her a basin of cold water, she only obtained the title of noble concubine as the original match of the concubine, and her son naturally became a concubine, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest, she could not become a prince, and the prince became the eldest son Li Ning.
The love of that year was gone, the emperor's husband lingered in the flowers all day, the harem was beautiful, and even the status of an admirable empress was not given to her, and the Guo family, which was dependent on the emperor, could only be carefully guarded by the emperor now. Her mother, Princess Shengping, presented gifts to the emperor hoping that the emperor would treat her daughter kindly, but Tang Xianzong simply ignored it.
For him, the use value of the Guo family and Princess Shengping is gone, and it may be the constraint of imperial power, and the emperor's thin feelings can be seen.
However, the Emperor still took care of Guo Guifei. In the sixth year of the noble concubine's reign, Li Ning, the eldest son of Shu and the crown prince at the time, died. The Guo family, with their power in the imperial court, and with the support of the lieutenants Wang Shoucheng and Wang Shouqian of the Right God Strategy Army, emperor Li Chun made him and Li Heng, the third son of Guo Guifei's son, crown prince.
Guo Guifei finally heard a little exciting news after waiting for six years.
The imperial court ministers also took the opportunity to ask the emperor to make the crown prince's biological mother Guo Guifei empress, but he had many harem beauties and had long forgotten his former wife to the nine clouds, and the prince could not satisfy him, he wanted to depose the second son of the crown prince Li Yun, and once Guo became empress, it would be more difficult to depose the prince. Guo Guifei's dream of becoming empress was shattered again, and her son's position as crown prince was also shaky.
Tang Xianzong's confidant eunuch Zuo Shence 's lieutenant Tutu Chengxuan (吐拓承璀) had been attacking the crown prince Li Heng. They have been lurking in search of an opportunity to abolish the prince
In the fifteenth year of Yuan He, Tang Xianzong, who was superstitious in his later years and believed in Dan Yao, was irritable due to long-term use of Dan Yao, and everyone who served eunuchs was in danger, and when he was sick, he wanted to make the second prince crown prince.
Fearing that the crown prince's position would fall into the hands of others, the crown prince, Guo Guifei and his uncle Guo Zhao bribed eunuchs to poison Tang Xianzong.
The lord of a generation of Zhongxing, Tang Xianzong, who was in charge of the pacification of the town, eventually died at the hands of his wife and son.
Guo Guifei finally saved herself and her son by hand cutting her husband.
From the cardamom years, the two little guesses that the husband and wife look at each other and add up, and the imperial power alienates this young couple.
Husbands and wives are originally forest birds, but the power struggle can only have one winner.
Power makes them meet, and power separates them.
The carefree empress dowager
His son Li Heng succeeded to the throne, and Guo Guifei directly crossed the empress dowager and was promoted to empress dowager, and his son Li Heng posthumously honored Empress Guo's grandfather Guo Jingzhi as Taifu,her father Guo Huan (郭暧) as a taiwei (太尉), and her mother Princess Shengping (升平公主) as Princess Dachang of the State of Qi.
After Empress Guo was promoted to empress dowager, she lived in Xingqing Palace, one of the three major palaces of the Tang Dynasty, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, her son Li Hengdu came to Wen'an to perform filial piety in front of the empress.
On the day of the New Year's celebration, the wives and relatives inside and outside the harem are in an endless stream, and the ringing sound is endless.
However, the good times did not last long, and his son Tang Muzong died after four years on the throne.
His grandson Li Zhan of Tang Jingzong succeeded to the throne, and Guo was promoted to empress dowager, but within two years Li Zhan was killed by the eunuch Liu Keming and others. Another of his sons, Li Wu (李悟), was also killed by eunuchs for their struggles with the courtiers.
Losing her son and grandson in the same year, Empress Guo's grief can be imagined
Fortunately, Tang Wenzong and Tang Wuzong, who were later supported, were all in the line of Empress Guo, and the two grandsons still served Grandma very wholeheartedly, and Tang Wuzong often asked Grandma for advice.
However, Emperor Wuzong of Tang died of taking Dan medicine, and the eunuchs abandoned Emperor Wuzong's son and installed Li Chen, the thirteenth son of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, to succeed him.
There is no good ending
The throne has since left Empress Guo's lineage, and Li Chen's birth mother is only Empress Guo's former maid.
In the face of Empress Guo, who had plotted to kill her father Tang Xianzong, Tang Xuanzong naturally did not have any good feelings for Empress Guo, and he honored his birth mother Zheng Shi as empress dowager, and Empress Guo was angry that she could not bear the same honor as her former maid.
In the second year of middle school, Empress Guo climbed the Qinzheng Building and prepared to jump off the building to commit suicide, which was stopped by the left and right.
Finally, in the Cold Well Hall of the Xingqing Palace, it was depressed, and the folk rumors were secretly killed by Tang Xuanzong.
Born prominently, as the daughter of a princess, the royal family nobleman, originally thought that she had a happy life, but she could only face a husband who was hostile to her, and finally had to rely on eunuchs to fight for the last power for herself, and in the first half of the imperial power struggle, she had won the first half of the imperial power struggle, originally thought that she could enjoy her old age in peace, but still could not withstand the end of the late Tang eunuch monopoly that led to the taking away of the throne of her descendants, and the imperial throne fell into the hands of others.
She fought hard, but she did not fight the political situation of the late Tang Dynasty.
Even if you are high above, you still can't save your children's lives.
Empress Guo's life has been glorious, the lows have been, and finally all of this, she has painstakingly planned and fought for her children and grandchildren, and with her death, it has turned into nothingness.
The seemingly glorious royal family hides endless helplessness.
