Tang Dynasty Emperor, I believe that everyone is very familiar with this person, once the hit drama "Drunken Golden Branch" tells the story of his eldest daughter Princess Shengping. For his political evaluation, the New Book of Tang says that he is the "lord of middle materials" is more pertinent, while the Old Book of Tang says that he is "the sage of the ancients, and failed to reach this" is a bit exaggerated. Today I want to evaluate Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty from another perspective: Negative Heart Han, Chen Shimei.
In the TV series, it is not correct to say that Princess Shengping and the later Tang Dezong Li Shi (kuo sisheng) were born by a mother. Princess Shengping was born to Concubine Cui Guifei (Yang Yuhuan's aunt and niece), and Li Shi was born to Shen Pearl, the original match of Emperor Tang of the Tang Dynasty.
Shen Pearl, Wuxing, Zhejiang, present-day Zhudun, Huzhou, a native of Han ethnicity, came from the famous family "Wuxing Shen Clan", and was elected to the Eastern Palace in the last year of The Xuanzong Kaiyuan. Emperor Shisuzong made Li Heng crown prince, and gave Shen the title of Li Yu the Prince of Guangping, and Li Heng's eldest son, Emperor Tang of Tang, as a concubine. Shen's beauty is like a flower, and she is virtuous and pure, and she was once deeply favored by Li Yu. At the time of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Shi was fourteen years old and lucky to follow the fleeing team, while Shen Zhu himself became a prisoner of An Lushan, was taken captive to the eastern capital Luoyang, and later became Shi Siming's trophy, and then disappeared.
During the rebellion at An Lu mountain, Emperor Xuanzong avoided thieves from Shu, and the princesses and concubines who did not follow them were all the proceeds of thieves, and the eastern capital of the Imperial Court was detained. Daizong Kedongdu, Deshen Shi, Liuzhi Palace, Shi Siming fell into the Eastern Capital again, and lost his place. - New Book of Tang
That is to say, Emperor Tang, who was then the Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army, recovered Luoyang and found Shen Pearl, but when he returned to Chang'an, he did not take Shen Shi with him, and really became "Chen Shimei". Why, let's analyze and analyze the historical data.
It is very likely that Shen Zhu has been defiled by the rebel army, and his chastity is not guaranteed, so he has been abandoned. It should be known that she was the Princess of Guangping who was personally crowned by Emperor Suzong, and the biological mother of Li Shi, the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson, and she was only in her early thirties and was prosperous, and if Emperor Tang did not have a legitimate reason, he could not ignore her: the grandfather and father could not be accounted for, and the son could not be explained well.
Fang Jing slightly marched north, and did not have time to welcome back to Chang'an. - Old Book of Tang
This reason of The Tang Dynasty Emperor is very ridiculous, and it is obviously an excuse. Even if he was busy with the war in that year (757), the next year he was crown prince, and he should have an explanation for the Shen clan. According to the etiquette, when the crown prince is crowned, there must be a princess present, and the Shen family is the yuan match, which should be welcomed. But if he didn't do it, there might be other reasons that were not humane, but this could not be blamed on Shen Pearl.
The lone noble concubine may have blown the pillow wind, causing Shen Zhu to be treated coldly. The rebellious noble concubine who appears in "Drunken Golden Branch" is not a lonely noble concubine, but has her shadow. Du lonely guifei, is the daughter of Zuo Wei Wei's recorder who joined the army, Du Lonely Ying, can be described as a famous family, is everyone's bridesmaid, she herself also knows the "reason", beautiful and elegant.
Concubine, Princess Shengping's mother, Princess Cui Guifei, leans on her mother's family and is quite a concubine. Zhu Yang Jie, Li Dip, and Xue, after, the lonely noble concubine, with Shu Yanjin, often stayed at night. The king ascended the throne, the concubine of the book, the king of Han and the princess of Huayang. - New Book of Tang
It can be seen that her favor was accidental, Shen Mingzhu was captured, And Cui Guifei died again, and she was favored because of her appearance, and soon replaced Shen's position in the heart of the Tang Dynasty. The Old Book of Tang put it more bluntly: "After entering the palace with beauty, The special room of The Fortune King, so the long autumn vacant, Zhu Jihan entered the imperial palace." On the one hand, it shows that Tang Dynasty Emperor really likes her beauty, on the other hand, it also shows that she has a skill, and the pillow wind is definitely indispensable, and the "Zhu Ji" in Chang'an cannot compete with her, let alone Shen Mingzhu, who is far away in Luoyang, and does not want to be "Qin Xianglian".
The competition for the future position of prince may also be a factor in Shen Zhu's abandonment. By the second year of De (757), Dugu Guifei had already given birth to Li Yi, the King of Han, and judging from the degree of li yi of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that he had surpassed that of his eldest son Li Shi and his second son Li Mi.
Li Yi was the seventh oldest, and was born as the King of Yanqing County, and was immediately promoted to the title of King of Han, surpassing Li Mi the Prince of Zheng in terms of title, and clearly better than Li Shi in the time of the crown. At that time, Emperor Tang Dynasty held military power, conquered the four sides, and inherited the yellow robe of Jiangshan, which was a matter of time, and the choice of heir behind him also surfaced. If Shen Mingzhu was welcomed back to Chang'an, she would inevitably have to confirm her identity as a crown princess or first lady, which would be equivalent to confirming Li Shi's heir status. Don't say that Tang Dynasty Emperor himself may not be willing, and the lonely concubine will definitely not approve.
Fortunately, Emperor Suzong Li Heng died early, Emperor Tang Dynasty also took over early, the remnants of the Anshi rebel army were still arrogant, and The Han King Li Yuan was too late to grow up and experience tempering, and Emperor Tang had to rely on his eldest son Li Shi. At the beginning of his reign, he immediately appointed Li Shi as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and entrusted him with the mission of the final counterinsurgency decisive battle. Li Shi also really had the ability, leading Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others, and it took only more than a year to completely eliminate the rebels. In 764, Li Shi was made crown prince, and at this time, the lonely noble concubine mother and son were completely dead.0
The son became the prince, what about the biological mother? Emperor Tang Felt Guilty at this time, and when Chen Shimei also had a conscience to discover, almost at the same time as the crown prince was crowned, he issued an edict to find shen. Seven years had passed, and he remembered that he had sent people everywhere in a hurry to find out, and he knew that this was the case, so why should he be in the first place.
The search for Shen Pearl was carried out in full swing throughout the country, but for more than a decade nothing was found. In 779, Emperor Daizong died, and Li Shi took the throne for Emperor Dezong of Tang, and in the following year Yaozun's birth mother Shen Shi was made "Empress Ruizhen", and the empress was dressed in the "Standing Card" of the Hanyuan Hall, "The Emperor Fengzhi wept bitterly, and all the courtiers on the left and right wept." ”
Throughout his life, Emperor Dezong still failed to find the real Empress Shen. The whereabouts of Shen Pearl became one of the biggest mysteries of the decades at that time.
