Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty has fallen into the chaos of the feudal towns, eunuchs and friends, and since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the historical materials have been seriously scattered, not to mention the deeds of the concubines, and even the deeds of the emperor are extremely concise. In this case, it is inevitable that many phenomena such as the deeds of the concubines being worn by Zhang Guanli and the characters of the concubines being omitted by historians will inevitably occur.
For example, as the favorite concubine of Emperor Wuzong of Tang, the Wang clan, that is, the archetypal character of the combination of the two female protagonists Cheng Ruoyu and Qiu Yan in the hit drama "Song with Junge", there is only one sentence in the "Biography of the Later Concubines of the Old Book of Tang", "Wuzong Wang Xianfei Matter Que", and there is only one sentence in "Tang Huijiao" "Duanling to accompany the burial of the famous clan, the Concubine Wang clan", is it not simple?
It was not until the Song people revised the New Book of Tang that they supplemented the deeds of Wang Xianfei according to the notes and rumors of the Tang Dynasty, and for this reason, they were often criticized for being suspected of cobbling together and fabricating historical facts.
In fact, the historical Princess Wuzong is a very confusing figure, her deeds have been rumored by poets and novelists in various versions, which has brought great trouble to historians who have revised history, and has also aroused the curiosity and analysis of many historians in later generations.
Leaving aside the analysis of the princess by ancient historians, modern scholars have different opinions about her, for example, Mr. Huang Lou believes in "The Divine Strategy Army and the Politics of Eunuchs in the Middle and Late Tang Dynasties":
Wang Cairen, who helped Emperor Wuzong to ascend the throne and succeeded in his establishment = Meng Cairen = colluded with the King of Guang to leak (?) The princess of the tyrannical mob = The princess of Xuanzong fabricated the martyrdom, postponed the time of death, and relocated the Duanling Tomb, and posthumously donated Wang Guifei = Wang Xianfei, and Mr. Huang did not involve whether Wang Defei and Wang Shufei were related to the noble concubines.
And Teacher Chen Liping believed in "Xianfei Concubine Pet: Tang Dynasty Concubine History Examination" that Wang Shufei = Princess Wuzong was crowned as a princess of the palace = the princess of the tyrannical ferocity;
Wang Xianfei = Wang Cairen who helped Emperor Wuzong to ascend the throne and did not succeed in his establishment = Wang Cairen who was martyred = Wang Xianfei / Concubine Guifei / Concubine Defei posthumously given by Emperor Xuanzong, and many of the names were due to false rumors.
So, are Wang Xianfei and Wang Shufei one person? Or two people? Monkey lattice does not (mistakenly) from (into) the amount (misunderstanding) force (way) also to distinguish it.
Let's not mention the history books and notes after the Tang Dynasty, but first try to sort out her deeds through the Records of the Tang Dynasty people on King Wuzong.
First of all, among the materials related to Emperor Wuzong's concubines, the most authoritative and the closest time to the parties is naturally the "Collection of Tang Dynasty Edicts".
In the part of the 25 concubines in the collection of the Great Edict, there is "Jie Yu Wang Clan and Others for the Shu Concubine System": On February 21, 840, Emperor Wuzong Li Yan, who took the throne on the fourteenth day of the first month, named Wang Jieyu as Shu Concubine, and Liu Jieyu as Concubine Xian.
Under this system was the "Wu Clan and Other Feng ZhaoYi System" of the harem on May 23, the sixth year of Huichang (846), that is, Emperor Xuanzong Li Chen, who had reigned less than two months ago.
Then, under Wu Zhaoyi's book, there was another "Wang Clan for Talent System" that did not indicate the time of promulgation, recording that a virtuous, kind and gentle Wang Clan was named a talented person.
This Book of Wang Cairen is the last book of this volume, and since there is no time to be marked, I am not sure whether this Wang Cairen is a Wang Cai of Wuzong, a Wang Cai of Xuanzong, or a Wang Cai of Yang or Yizong.
Through the collection of edicts, let us know that after His Majesty Emperor Wuzong ascended the throne, he sealed two concubines, one Wang Shufei and one Liu Xianfei.
The next information is an epitaph, which is the "Epitaph of Meng Xiurong" published in the sixth year of Xuanzong's middle school (852) records that Meng Xiurong, the judge of the Zuo Shen Cejun capital and the deputy envoy of Wude, on September 7, the fifth year of Huichang (845), was swept to the end by the princess and demoted to the Eastern Capital Gongling, and only after Xuanzong took the throne did he regain his glory.
From this epitaph, we also get another piece of information, that is, around September of the fifth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong had an accident with a concubine surnamed Wang, and the eunuch Meng Xiurong was implicated by her and was demoted to Dongdu.
The third source comes from Li Weigong, Li Deyu, who was the chancellor of the Wuzong Dynasty and was expelled from the imperial court after Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, wrote a book "The Tribute of the Two Dynasties of Wen and Wu" in the early years of Xuanzong's middle school.
Li Gong recorded in the Book of Sacrifices that the princess who had been favored by Emperor Wuzong since he ascended the throne, because of "jealousy and jealousy", suddenly became violent overnight, which also caused panic among the crowd, and they all believed that after Emperor Wuzong took dan medicine, he became moody and angry, so Li Deyu also advised Emperor Wuzong.
Comparing Li Gong's record with Meng Xiurong's epitaph, it can be found that the princess who was violent overnight was obviously the princess who made Meng Xiurong implicated in eating melons, and this princess died before Emperor Wuzong.
Look at the fourth document, from the "Biography of Wang Guifei" by Cai Jing, the inspector who participated in the burial of Emperor Wuzong.
This Tang Dynasty Cai Jing recorded in the biography of the noble concubines: After Emperor Wuzong was seriously ill, Wang Cairen returned to the palace to change his clothes, and then scattered all the items he usually used to play with to the palace eunuchs, and then returned to Emperor Wuzong with the cloth towel given to her by Emperor Wuzong, at this time Emperor Wuzong had died, and Wang Cairen hanged himself under the throne and buried Emperor Wuzong.
Through the biography of the noble concubines, let us know that Emperor Wuzong had a loyal wang cairen who was martyred after Emperor Wuzong's death.
The fifth source comes from the poet Zhang Hu's work "Meng Cai Ren Sigh" in the fifth year of da zhong (851):
Occasionally, because of the singing of the song, the twelve springs in the palace are sung.
But for a sound of the river full of children, the next spring must hang the old talent.
(There is also a version: Occasionally, due to the frequency of singing and singing songs, he was selected to enter the twelve springs of the palace.) After a loud cry of He Manzi, Jiuyuan must hang Meng Cairen. ）
Zhang Hu also recorded in the preface to the poem: Emperor Wuzong was seriously ill, so that the Mengcai people, who were usually good at singing and dancing, were martyred, and the Mengcai people sang a hemanzi in sorrow to vent their anger, and after singing, the intestines were cut off, and then Wuzong collapsed and was buried with Mengcai people.
How did Zhang Hu know about the forced martyrdom of the Meng Cai people? He listened to What Did Gao Xuan qu say, and who did Gao Xuan listen to? Gao Xuan listened to the officials of the inner court at a banquet in the third year of Xuanzong's reign (849), and then said it to Zhang Hu two years later, and Zhang Hu was very sympathetic to this unfortunate Mengcai, so he wrote poems and lamented for it.
Then look at the sixth source, which is from Gao Yanxiu, recorded in the "History of Tang Que", which was probably written in the fourth year (884) of Emperor Xianzong:
Emperor Wuzong's wife Wang, originally the daughter of Yan Zhao, was favored when Emperor Wuzong was still the King of Ying. In the last year of Emperor Wenzong's reign, eunuchs abandoned the crown prince Li Chengmei and sent a forbidden army to meet Emperor Wenzong's eldest brother Li Rong the Prince of An.
But the leader of the forbidden army was a humble man, and he didn't know who the two imperial brothers, King An and King Ying, were, only who was there, but only knew who was to greet the big one. When they arrived at the Second King's Mansion, the forbidden soldiers only said that they were ordered to greet the big one, but they did not know who was the biggest king, King An and King Ying.
At this time, Lady Wang, who was beside Emperor Wuzong, came out and said to the commander of the forbidden army: The big one is the King of Ying, and the people around everyone (the Tang Dynasty refers to the emperor) call the King of Yingwang the King of Yingwang because he is tall and tall, and besides, the King of Ying and your lieutenant are friends of life and death, you don't have to take the wrong person, that is to destroy the Nine Tribes.
Although King An knew in his heart that according to the order of brothers, it should be his turn to ascend to the throne, but he was cowardly, and if someone did not pick him up by name, he did not dare to speak out, and he saw that his depressed younger brother King Ying was pushed out by Lady Wang, and the forbidden army helped him to get on his horse and gallop away.
When the King of Ying arrived at the Shaoyang Temple, the lieutenants on the left and right found that the forbidden army had met the wrong person, so they made a mistake and shouted long live the King of Ying, and in this way, the King of Ying was able to take the throne and become Emperor Wuzong.
Lady Wang's bridge section for Emperor Wuzong's wisdom to seek the throne was adopted by Ouyang Xiu and others when they wrote the "Biography of Emperor Wuzong's Concubines in the New Book of Tang", saying that Emperor Wuzong was able to take the throne, relying on Wang's "yin as an aid", so after Emperor Wuzong took the throne, he made Wang a talented person. However, Comrade Sima Quan believed that the establishment of an heir was a great matter and could never be so dramatic, so when he was practicing the Tongjian, he discarded this record and did not use it.
In the shallow view of the monkey grid, this time to stand in the Sima Cylinder, the "History of Tang Que" is not originally a serious historical material, people are just a collection of novels of the late Tang Dynasty, the content of which is mostly hearsay anecdotes, as well as some mythical stories, how can you Ou Jiu Xiu Shi rashly adopt its theory?
Besides, if the eunuchs choose to establish an imperial heir, may they casually pull a person to the throne? Monkey Ge thought that just because King An was supported by the chancellor Yang Sifu and the privy councillor Liu Hongyi, qiu Shiliang, the left lieutenant who was the head of them, would not choose King An again, so it was impossible to have such an absurd bridge section recorded in the history of Tang Que.
Taking a step back, if the Wang clan really had merit to Emperor Wuzong's ascension to the throne, with Emperor Wuzong's character, he wouldn't have only sealed one talent, right? Such a great merit can be sealed as a concubine!
Therefore, from the absurd record of the History of Tang Que, the only useful information that can be extracted is that Emperor Wuzong did have a favored wang cairen.
Finally, looking at the seventh source, Kang Biao Pian recorded in the "Records of Drama Talks", which was probably written in the second year of Qianning (895):
The MengCai people who sang were favored by Emperor Wuzong, and when Emperor Wuzong was seriously ill, he asked her, What are you going to do if I die? Meng Cairen said, If Your Majesty is long live, I will not be greedy.
Meng Cairen sang "He Manzi" sadly in front of Emperor Wuzong, and the tone was desolate, and everyone who heard it was sobbing. When Emperor Wuzong died, meng cairen died after mourning for a few days and was buried on the side of the Duanling Tomb.
If Zhang Hu is the first to describe the Mengcai people, then Kang Biao is the second, and from the content of the two, it is obvious that the source of the story of The Mengcai people of Kang Xiao is Zhang Hu's poetry of the Mengcai people.
And Kang Biao's "Drama Talk", according to the author himself, was originally written to eliminate loneliness and anecdotes, because it all depends on memory, so there are many omissions, the historical value is general, you can look at it as a legendary novel, and when the historical material is counted.
Well, through the above seven documents, a simple combing is as follows:
(1) Tang Dynasty Edict Collection: Princess Wuzong was crowned princess on the throne;
(2) The mutual confirmation of Meng Xiurong's epitaph and (3) the Book of Sacrifices: Princess Huichang of the Fifth Year of September;
(4) Biography of King Cai Jing's noble concubines: Wang Cairen who was martyred and buried, and was posthumously honored as a noble concubine by Emperor Xuanzong;
(5) Zhang Hu's poem: Meng Cairen who was forced to be martyred and died before Emperor Wuzong;
(6) History of Tang Que: Lady Wang, who was greatly loved by Emperor Wuzong and helped him ascend the throne, was given the title of Talented Person;
(7) Drama Transcript: Meng Cairen who was forced to be martyred and died after Emperor Wuzong.
Through the comparison of seven historical materials, it can be seen that the MengCai people in Zhang Hu's poems are likely to be the mistakes of the martyred Wang Cairen, and in the process of people's dissemination, the surname has been changed by magic; and the drama tan record is a copy of Zhang Hu's poetry sequence, so the two pieces of information can be directly ignored.
That is to say, the information related to the concubines of the Wuzong Wang clan is sorted out as the following four:
A, Tang Dynasty Edict Collection: Princess Wang Shufei who was crowned in February of the fifth year;
B, Meng Xiurong's epitaph, dedication record: Princess Huichang in September of the fifth year;
C, the biography of The Noble Concubine of Cai Jing: Wang Cairen, who was martyred and buried in March of the sixth year of Huichang, and was posthumously honored as a noble concubine by Emperor Xuanzong;
D, Tang Que Shi: The favored Wang Cairen.
So, are they four? Or three people, two people, yang or one person? Let's see how historians after the Tang Dynasty viewed this issue.
The first source is the Old Book of Tang, written in the second year of the Later Jin Dynasty (945), in which the Book of Emperor Wuzong has a record of Emperor Wuzong's concubines in March of the fifth year (840) of the reign of Emperor Wuzong, who had only recently ascended to the throne.
There is also another one, that is, in March of the sixth year of Huichang (846), Wuzong collapsed, and was buried in Duanling in August, with a concubine of the Wang clan. Also in the book "Biography of Hou Concubine", there is a record of Emperor Wuzong's concubine, but the deeds are missing.
The second source is from the Tang Zhiyan (Tang Zhiyan) by Wang Dingbao (870-c. 940) of the Five Dynasties, which is recorded in volume 13 of the "Agile" Liu Gongquan:
Emperor Wuzong was very angry with a palace concubine, but he couldn't put it down, so he summoned him back to his side and said to Liu Gongquan: Shuo is very dissatisfied with this person, and if I get a work by a bachelor, I will no longer blame her. After saying that, he awarded him dozens of Shu notes on the imperial case.
Without thinking, Liu Gongquan wrote a poem of seven absolutes: he did not resent the lord's grace in the past, and he was willing to guard Nagato alone. In this dynasty, however, the king took care of it and re-entered the pepper room to wipe the tear marks.
Emperor Wuzong was very happy, rewarded him with twenty brocade horses, and ordered the palace concubine to pay homage to Xie Liu. This concubine, who was angered by Emperor Wuzong and did not abandon it, may be the Wang clan.
The third source, from the Tang Huijiao, which was probably written in the second year of Song Jianlong (961), records in volume 3 that Emperor Wuzong had empress Zheng shi; volume 21 records that the only funeral personnel in Duanling were the Xianfei Wang clan.
The fourth source is from the New Book of Tang, written in the fifth year of Song Jiayou (1060), the later concubines are rumored to have Wuzong Wang Xianfei, saying that she was a native of Handan, 13 years old because of good song and dance into the palace, was given by Muzong to Wuzong, who was then the King of Ying, in the last year of Emperor Wenzong's reign, when Emperor Wuzong ascended the throne, Wang Shi had "Yin as an assistant painter", so he was named a talented person by Emperor Wuzong and favored.
Wang Cai was thin and tall, very similar to Wuzong, every time Wuzong went on a safari, Wang Cairen must follow, wearing a men's riding suit, no different from Wuzong, riding out together, onlookers could not tell which was Wuzong.
Emperor Wuzong wanted to make her empress, but was dissuaded by the chancellor Li Deyu. Emperor Wuzong was superstitious and believed in alchemists, and he took Dan medicine for many years, and eventually he did not hesitate, and people often said to his cronies: Your Majesty's daily alchemy said that he wanted to live forever, but now that his skin is withered, I am very worried in my heart.
Wuzong was seriously ill and asked cairen what will happen to you after I die? It is said that after long live Your Majesty, the concubines will be martyred. After Emperor Wuzong died, he scattered all his belongings and hanged himself.
At that time, although the concubines in the palace were jealous of the talents, they were now touched by her behavior when they saw the talents martyred. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, in order to reward her righteousness, he posthumously gave her the title of Concubine Xian and was buried in Duanling Baicheng.
The fifth source is from Lü Xiaqing, who participated in the compilation and revision of the New Book of Tang, and records in the biography of the three empresses in the volume of the "Book of Tang Zhibi": The old Tang Shu Wenzong did not establish the posthumous concubine biography, and the Wuzong Wang Xianfei was also a concubine, and now yang Si re-passed on the deeds, the Liwenzong Yang Xianfei biography, and according to Li Deyu's two dynasties to record the defei tyranny of the concubines, the biography of the Liwu emperor Wang Defei.
The sixth source is from the Zizhi Tongjian written in the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084), and Sima Guang records in volume 248 tang ji 64 that in September of the fifth year of Huichang (845), Emperor Wuzong wanted to make Wang Cairen an empress dowager, and Li Deyu dissuaded Emperor Wuzong on the grounds that Wang Cai was from a humble background and had no children, and was not suitable to be an empress. In October of that year, Emperor Wuzong became impatient and irritable because of taking Dan medicine, and Li Deyu also advised Emperor Wuzong.
The seventh source is from Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Pen Talk" written in the Yuan Dynasty, and Shen Kuo has analyzed the matter of Princess Wuzong in the "Supplementary Pen Talk Volume I".
He believes that the "Book of Sacrifices" is Li Deyu's notes, Li Deyu is The Chancellor whom Emperor Wuzong relied on, and the record should not be wrong, so according to Li's record, Wang was already a concubine when Emperor Wuzong was in place, and was not posthumously given after Emperor Xuanzong took the throne.
The martyrmins recorded in the Book of Tang are probably meng cairen, the protagonist of "Meng Cai Ren Sigh" in the "Zhang You Collection", who was worn by the Meng Guan wang of the Tang Shu.
The eighth source comes from the "Tang Yu Lin JiYi" written by Wang Yu during the reign of Emperor Huizong of song, which records that King Wuzong was favored by people, and that talented people often dressed with Emperor Wuzong to shoot and hunt, and because they could not distinguish who was the emperor, they often played it by mistake in front of the talented people, which led to the great music of Emperor Wuzong. Emperor Wuzong collapsed, and after Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he gave him a noble concubine and buried Duanling.
The ninth source is from the Ming Dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Four Drafts of The State of Yiyan", and he also analyzed the matter of the princess in volume 160 of the "Wanwei Yu Compilation V":
The Book of Tang records that Emperor Wuzong favored Wang Cairen and tried unsuccessfully to make her empress, but later Emperor Wuzong became seriously ill and Wang Cairen hanged himself. The "Zhang YouJi" records that the Mengcai people won favor with song and dance, Wuzong was seriously ill, and the Mengcai people sang Hemanzi to Wuzong, and died of intestines. Two talents may be one person or the same thing. The "Records of the Two Dynasties of Li Weigong" says that after Emperor Wuzong ascended the throne, the princess had the favor of a special room, and suddenly died violently with jealousy. The death of the talented man was originally a violent death before the death of Emperor Wuzong, which was very different from that recorded in the "Biography of the Later Concubines of the New Book of Tang".
Through the above nine documents, a brief review is as follows:
(1) Old Book of Tang: The princess who is enthroned, the princess who is buried, and the concubine who is deeded.
(2) Tang Yanyan: An unknown concubine of Emperor Wuzong who was angry and did not abandon.
(3) Tang Hui wants: Concubine Wang Xianfei who is buried.
(4) New Book of Tang: Wang Cairen who helped Emperor Wuzong to have meritorious service, was very similar to Emperor Wuzong, had favors, was martyred and buried, and was posthumously given the title of Concubine by Emperor Xuanzong.
(5) Book of Tang Straight: Prepare to write a biography based on Li Deyu's dedication to Emperor Wuzong.com.
(6) Zizhi Tongjian: In September of the fifth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong wanted to make a favored Wang Cai as empress, but was dissuaded by Li Deyu.
(7) Mengxi Pen Talk: Distinguish that the princess is not a posthumous gift from Emperor Xuanzong, and believe that the Martyred Meng Cai is Wang Cai.
(8) Tang Lin Jiyi: Wang Cairen, who was very similar to Emperor Wuzong and had a favor, was martyred and buried, and was posthumously given a noble concubine by Emperor Xuanzong.
(9) The Four Drafts of Yizhou: Wang Cairen, who believes that Wuzong wanted to be an unsuccessful empress and was martyred, is likely to be a Mengcai who died singing; it is also likely that the princess who was tyrannical before Wuzong was also a princess.
See if anyone faints here? Not to mention the martyred Meng Cai people and Wang Cai people, because they are most likely a person, there is nothing to tangle. The problem is that the names of the people who were buried and the names posthumously given by Emperor Xuanzong appear in several of the above historical materials.
Burial: Old Tang Shu Wang Defei, Tang Hui Wang Xianfei, New Tang Shu Wang Xianfei, Tang Yulin Wang Guifei.
Posthumously gifted: Cai Jing Guifei, New Tang Shu Xian Concubine, Tang Yu Lin Guifei.
Why are there so many different names? Obviously, the author copied it wrong in the process of writing, because the pen error falsely passed out so many titles. That is to say, the concubines, concubines, and concubines who were buried and posthumously were obviously one person, because there was only one funeral attendant at Emperor Wuzong's tomb.
So, next, analyze whether The Princess Shufei and Princess Wang appeared in the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty were the xian/de/noble concubines who were buried?
Later generations of historical materials are naturally derived from Tang Dynasty historical materials, such as the princess who was crowned by Emperor Wuzong in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty, and the princess who was crowned by Emperor Wuzong in the Collection of Tang Dynasty Edicts, so princess = Wang Shufei.
From Lü Xiaqing's notes, it can be learned that when they compiled the New Book of Tang, they planned to refer to the Dedication Record as the Biography of Princess Defei of Emperor Wuzong, so the princess of the tyrannical squire in the Book of Sacrifice = Wang Defei.
However, in the biography of the New Book of Tang Dynasty, it is the biography of Wang Xianfei that we see now, not the biography of Wang Defei. Sima Guang once said in the Tongjian Examination That the historical source adopted by the New Book of Tang Dynasty Wang Xianfei was the History of Tang Que. Then, through the records of Lü Xiaqing and Sima Guang, can we draw the following inferences:
A, Wang Cairen of the Tang Dynasty = Wang Xianfei of the New Book of Tang,
B, the princess of the tribute to ji tyrannically = Wang Defei,
C, Wang Cairen = Princess Wang = Wang Xianfei = Wang Defei.
When Sima Guang was practicing Tongjian, he discarded Li Deyu's tributes, Cai Jing's biography of concubines, and Kang Biao's commentaries, because he thought that they were not enough to win credibility, so he only included them in the examination.
However, sima Guang, in volume 248, placed the matter of Emperor Wuzong's attempt to establish Wang Cai as a man, but was dissuaded by Li Deyu in September of the fifth year of Huichang, and at the same time, Li Deyu's advice to Emperor Wuzong was placed in the following October.
Referring to Meng Xiurong's epitaph, it can be seen that Sima Chu's abandonment of Li Deyu's dedication was wrong, because in September of the fifth year of Huichang, there was indeed a princess who died of death, which caused panic among the crowd, so Li Deyu advised Emperor Wuzong.
In August of the following sixth year of Huichang, Sima Chu recorded the process of Wang Cairen's promise to be martyred at the behest of Emperor Wuzong, and after Emperor Wuzong's collapse, he hanged himself and was posthumously given by Emperor Xuanzong to the noble concubine Duanling.
Combined with Sima Guangtongjian's record, the following inference can be drawn: Wang Cairen, who did not succeed after the establishment, was the same as the concubine who was buried in martyrdom. However, combined with Meng Xiurong's epitaph, it can be seen that the wang cairen who did not succeed after the establishment was more likely to be the princess of the tyrannical ferocity.
To sum up, Monkey Ge believes that what the Ming Dynasty Wang Shizhen discerned in the four drafts of Yizhou is the closest to the truth, that is:
Wang Cairen, who did not succeed after Emperor Wuzong's establishment, may be the princess who was violent in Huichang for five years, that is, the xian/de/noble concubine who was posthumously given by Emperor Xuanzong, and even the princess Wang Shufei who was established by Emperor Wuzong.
To put it simply, it is Wang Cairen = Wang Shufei = Princess Tyrannosa = Wang Xian/ De / Noble Concubine, they are all one person. Therefore, the conclusion of this article is slightly different from the conclusion of Huang Lou and Chen Liping.
In addition, Monkey Ge thought that Huang Lou's view that The Princess had colluded with Xuanzong to be killed and implicated Meng Xiurong was a bit too far-fetched. Not to mention why the princess colluded with Xuanzong to be killed, but Emperor Wuzong did not trouble Xuanzong, just saying meng Xiurong, it is not necessarily Qiu Shiliang's henchmen.
Teacher Huang's basis is that Meng Xiurong served as a minor judge of the Qiu general of Fengxiang Province in the third year of Yuan He (808), when Fengxiang Town did not have the Qiu surname Jiedushi envoy, and the so-called Qiu general should refer to the Qiu surname supervision envoy. Because according to the biography of Qiu Shiliang in the New Book of Tang, Qiu Shiliang moved to the interior after Emperor Xianzong took the throne and sent out to supervise the pinglu, Fengxiang and other armies, so the general Qiu shiliang in Meng's epitaph may be Qiu Shiliang.
Monkey Ge thought that leaving aside the words of qiu chuan in the New Book of Tang, it did not mean that he had a resume in the Xianzong Dynasty, just according to Qiu Shiliang's epitaph, he also served as an envoy to the Pinglu army in the tenth year of Yuan He (815), and in the following year (816) he went out of Huaixi to go to Xuanwei envoy, and did not serve as a military envoy of Fengxiang until the second year of Muzong Changqing (822), and entered the founding of the country, with 1,500 households.
Therefore, the General Qiu that Teacher Huang said that Meng Xiurong met in the third year of Yuanhe was most likely not Qiu Shiliang, because Qiu Shiliangyuan and the third year were not in Fengxiang, and they would not go to Fengxiang until more than ten years later. Therefore, according to this, it is a bit far-fetched to determine that Meng Xiurong is a partisan of Qiu Shiliang, so that meng Xiurong colluded with the princess to collude with the King of Light, which is naturally more far-fetched, so this article is not taken.
Finally, let's restore the life of this Princess Wuzong:
Emperor Wuzong's noble concubine Wang Shi, a native of Yanzhao Handan, was tall, good at singing and dancing, had a strong personality, had a strategy, and had a plan, and on the eve of Emperor Wuzong's ascension to the throne, she had helped Emperor Wuzong, so Emperor Wuzong crowned her as a concubine and favored the harem.
In the fifth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong wanted to make Wang Shufei empress, and Li Deyu dissuaded Emperor Wuzong because of his humble origins and childlessness. The strong personality of the Wang clan was unwilling, perhaps complaining, or plotting to establish a prince, in short, angering Wuzong, who was angry because of drug abuse, was given death, and Meng Xiurong, the judge of the Zuo Shen Cejun and the deputy envoy of Wude, who usually depended on the Wang clan, was also implicated and was demoted to the eastern capital.
In March of the sixth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong died, and Li Yi, the emperor who colluded with eunuchs, took the throne, in order to disgust his predecessor Wuzong, he fabricated a martyrdom story to smear Emperor Wuzong's cruelty, and deliberately posthumously gave Wang Shufei, who had died half a year earlier, as a noble concubine, and moved to Duanling to be buried in Duanling to Ying Wuzong, and later, in the process of dissemination, the noble concubine was falsely rumored to be a concubine and a concubine.
In the Tang Dynasty harem hierarchy, the order of the four concubines was Gui, Shu, De, and Xian, and the Wang clan, who was already in the Shu Concubine, could no longer be demoted to the rank of Concubine De and Concubine under it.
Finally, and finally, with a little more wording, the fans of "And Junge" are talking about the records in the New Book of Tang: Wang Cai and Wuzong are very similar to Yunyun, in fact, on the question of how similar the two people are, the history books before the New Tang Book are not undocumented, including the historical source "History of Tang Que" that he used, so this point is likely to be invented by Ou Jiu and then copied by Tang Yulin.
Of course, if you want to say that the historical materials of the Human Martial Sect that Ou Jiu read when he was revising the new book were destroyed, I can't refute it. After all, this article is also a speculation made by Monkey Grid based on historical data!
That's it.
