Sun Chang Wuji, the eldest grandson's elder brother, and Emperor Taizong were close friends. They made great contributions to the neutrality of Xuanwu Gate before and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Taizong regarded him as a confidant and planned to make him a prime minister and take charge of state affairs. When the queen heard this, she said to Emperor Taizong, "Now that my concubine has become the queen, I really don't want my brothers, sons and nephews to be listed in the court. The homes of Lv Hou and Huo Guang in the Han Dynasty can serve as a lesson for the past. Therefore, I ask you never to let your brother be prime minister. Under the repeated obstruction of the eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong only gave Sun Chang Wuji a virtual title similar to Kaifu Tongyi Shisan.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), when the eldest grandson and Emperor Taizong went to Jiuchenggong (now Linyou, Shaanxi Province) for the summer, their illness became more and more serious, and they took many drugs, but their illness did not ease. At this time, Prince Li Chenggan, who was waiting beside him, begged his mother for mercy by pardoning the prisoner's migration and letting others enter the Taoist temple, but the queen resolutely refused. She said: "Amnesty is a national event, and Buddhism and Taoism also have their own religious rules. If you can pardon prisoners casually and accept others into the Tao, it will definitely endanger the political system of the country, which your father does not want. Can I confuse the world with a woman? " The prince was afraid to tell Taizong. He just told Fang what his mother said, and Fang told it to Emperor Taizong. After hearing this, Emperor Taizong was moved to tears, with tears streaming down his face. After her death, Emperor Taizong built Zhaoling according to his wife's last words, because this mountain is the mausoleum. "Queen Wende is the Yuan Palace, with five stone gates. Outside the door, rise on the double plank road. Imperial secretary supports as usual. And Taizong Mountain Mausoleum. " ("Don? Ling Yi "). Later, Yan Lide wrote a letter to Tang Gaozong "Yuan Gong plank road". The plan is today. Today will never end. It's not the same as before. Just follow the story. There is only one way to provide a living room. There are no guarding instruments on the mausoleum. Look away from the plank road. Surrounded by mountains. ("Tang Yaohui?" "paranormal") "It can be seen that Emperor Taizong loved and missed his dead wife deeply, and inadvertently created this rare funeral case to support the dead. Not only that, Zhaoling also set a precedent for the empress to be buried together in the same cave. The husband and wife are really in the same cave, and their feelings are really touching.
"After Empress Wende was buried, the emperor made a floor view in the garden. In order to see the Zhaoling Tomb, he drew together and said," I am too faint to see. "The emperor instructed him to say," Is this the disaster of Zhaoling? " The emperor said, "Of course." Zheng said, "I think your majesty is looking forward to this mausoleum. If you show it, I will see it. "The emperor cried and ruined the scenery. ("New Tang Book"? Biography of Wei Zhi-This is the story of "Looking at the Tomb and Ruining the Scenery". The moral standard of feudal dynasty is filial piety first. As for husband and wife, it is very cold to ask that "a husband should not sacrifice his wife", and even festivals are not allowed. It is ridiculous and contemptuous to openly think of their wives. As a feudal emperor, Emperor Taizong naturally knew this rule, but he did not shy away from looking at Zhaoling. If he didn't miss him too much and couldn't control himself, how could he knowingly commit a crime!
Under Wei Zhi's persuasion, although the concept of hierarchy was exposed, Taizong's yearning for his beloved wife became more and more uncontrollable, so that he publicly told the minister about his grief after widowhood: since last year, he was in great trouble, but he lacked a good couple, and his grief continued for several days. Where there is life, there is sorrow, and the time sequence moves repeatedly, which is shocking. Since I was born, I have been in a trance, eating and forgetting my taste, and forgetting to eat and sleep in the middle of the night "("All Tang Wen? Answer Wei Zhi's imperial edict, see Yuan Gui of Bookstore). He also said that although "the time sequence moves repeatedly", it is still "shocking". It is really a word of blood and tears, which makes people feel embarrassed after reading it.
Empress Grandson was not a Buddhist before her death. According to historical records, when she was seriously ill, Prince Li Chenggan asked to do Buddhism and pray for her, but the queen flatly refused. She probably never dreamed that she would make such a great contribution to Buddhism!
During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong took his eldest grandson by surprise and went north to Taiyuan to pray for the queen's illness in Xuanzhong Temple. He once gave alms to "many treasures" and rebuilt temples. ("Emperor Taizong was very lucky in Beijing, and Empress Wende didn't care. She crossed Lanruo and paid a courtesy visit to the Zen master Chuo Gong. Then she realized the treasure of the public and offered her wishes. " -"Ode to the Statue of Iron Mile"
In April of the tenth year of Zhenguan, due to the long illness of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong ordered the restoration of dilapidated temples in the countryside as a merit. (Because the Empress failed to get a good doctor for a long time, she restored the abandoned temple and built 392 Buddhist temples in the world, which is more auspicious and beautiful than the seven pagodas and still exists in name only. -Tang Wen Supplement? Volume 50)
Empress Grandson once said: "Buddhism and other countries teach old people to do nothing!" Emperor Taizong did nothing on earth, but he also did something to bring his beloved wife back from the dead. See "Old Tang Book"? Biography of Queen Wende
There are many things that Emperor Taizong did not do, but he did for his eldest grandson and her children:
For example, in the early years of Zhenguan, Sun Anye, the grandson's half-brother, participated in the rebellion and was punished according to law. But because of Sun Tzu's intercession, Emperor Taizong was spared the death penalty. Such a man who has committed a great crime of rebellion can finally worship the minister of war and seal Xue Guogong. (Brother rebelled, according to the general logic, the queen should kneel at this time for fear that she would be implicated, but the eldest grandson queen not only did not worry about her situation, but asked the emperor for leniency. What kind of favor is this that makes her so confident? )。
Emperor Taizong was a man who was extremely strict with officials. A minister suspected people of taking bribes simply because his family came out to sell jewelry after his death. However, when the eldest grandson's uncle was dismissed for corruption, Emperor Taizong often gave him a lot of silk because he was the queen's uncle, and later re-appointed him as an official.
When Princess Changle, the eldest daughter of the Queen, came out, Taizong bluntly said to the minister, "Princess Changle was born to the Queen, and both the Queen and I love her. I will come out today, and I want to increase my courtesy. " Princess Changle died in Zhenguan 17. Her tomb did not comply with the specifications that the princess and the main tomb only had one stone gate, but used three stone gates in an unusual way, becoming a tomb with a similar size. Among the tombs excavated in the Tang Dynasty, only the tomb of Prince Yide buried according to the emperor's rank belongs to this situation.
Biography of the eldest grandson queen
Old Tang book
Emperor Taizong Wen Deshun's holy queen stone, a native of Chang 'an, was the daughter of Emperor Yangdi's general Sheng. Sheng's wife, the daughter of Yangzhou secretariat in Sui Dynasty, was born. If you study less, you must abide by the rules of etiquette. Thirteen years, he married Taizong. The great cause of the Sui Dynasty often fell in love with Yongxing Li, and my late father visited the Zhang family at a low cost. I saw a big horse outside the dormitory, two feet tall, with a saddle and straps, to tell Shi Lian. I met Taitai in Kunzhong, and the writer said, "It is the best in Kunyuan, and everything is born of it, which is the inheritance of Heaven. Kun is thick and loaded, and his virtue is boundless. Horses and land, the land is boundless. The change of "Tai", the internal yang and vulva, the internal health and the external smoothness, is the intersection of heaven and earth, and everything is connected. " Xiang said: Later generations were influenced by the suitability of heaven and earth. Dragon, the image of "dry" The image of Ma and Kun. Change to "Thai", heaven and earth also. Yao Xie is associated with Guimei, which is also a symbol of women. Women are respected in their positions and appropriate in their shoes. This woman is expensive. "In the first year of Wushu, the book was Princess Qin. When Emperor Taizong's official career was high, Prince Yin was very jealous. After filial piety, I respect my great-grandfather, bow to my concubines, and try my best to narrow the gap to save my life. But hard to do, Taizong was in Xuanwu Gate, and only led soldiers into the palace to give them armor, and then comforted them, which was appreciated by both sides. Nine years, the book respects the crown princess.
Emperor Taizong acceded to the throne and made himself queen. After that, I gave my father Sheng, the title. After making love, you are very frugal. You take whatever you have. Emperor Taizong treated me with courtesy and often talked with the queen about rewards and punishments. He said, "The rooster's morning is just home. I am a woman, how dare I predict political affairs? " Emperor Taizong talked to him, but he didn't answer. When the younger brother was unscrupulous, he became close friends with Taizong, and with the help of the founding fathers, he entrusted his confidant to him, went in and out of the bedroom, and allowed him to stand in the court. Later, he firmly said that he would shoot an episode every time. "Since I entrusted it to the Purple Palace, I am extremely honored. I really don't want my brothers and nephews to be put in court. Lu and Huo in the Han Dynasty are the commandments of cutting bones, and I especially hope that the holy court will not be ruled by my brother. " Emperor Taizong didn't listen, so he used Wuji as general Zuo Wuhou, official minister and right servant. Later, he secretly sent Wuji to ask for a post, but Emperor Taizong didn't get it, so he made a promise and awarded Kaifuyi Tongsan Company instead, meaning he was afraid. I have a half-brother, a drunken gangster. After paying tribute to the public, Anye reprimanded his uncle for being young and unscrupulous. Later, he didn't mind and invited Taizong to be the general of the army every time. Moreover, Liu Deyu was expected to rebel, and Emperor Taizong would kill him. Then he kowtowed and cried for his life, saying, "It is unforgivable to die. However, you are not good to me, and the whole world knows it. Today, if you are executed, people will say that I am partial to my brother and I am tired of being a sacred court! " So I must reduce my death.
Princess Changle, who was born later, was favored by Emperor Taizong and will be sent to princess royal at twice the cost. Wei Zhi remonstrated: "When Emperor Han Ming was established, the emperor said,' My son, the son of the late An Ru!'" "However, it is said that the master is very kind and respectful to the princess. Although the feelings are different, there is no turning back. If the princess's gift is too long, I'm afraid. May your majesty consider it. When Emperor Taizong finished speaking, he retreated, then sighed and said, "I don't know why your majesty values Wei Zhi. Hearing his exhortation today, we can really control the feelings of the Lord with righteousness, which can be described as a minister of the righteous society. My concubine and your majesty are married, courtesy and friendship are profound. Every word should be treated with color, not with dignity. They are in the position of a courtier and their feelings are separated from each other. Therefore, Han Fei said that it is difficult, and the East said that it is difficult and good. Advice when least heeded is good for action. If the state-owned family is in a hurry, it will be vulgar to accept it. DUZH will be plunged into political chaos. I sincerely hope that your majesty will be in harmony, and the world is very fortunate. "Later, I asked Ambassador China to send 500 silks, and I wanted to sign a house. The prince inherited from the wet nurse, Mrs. Sui 'an, and often said, "The East Palace is short of tools, so I want to fight. "Later, when he didn't listen, he said," As a prince, you have no virtue or reputation. Why worry about the utensils! "
In eight years, I was lucky enough to be in the palace for 90%, and I was seriously ill. The prince was in charge of the work and entered the service. After the secret instrument, he said, "The medicine is ready, and I am ashamed. Please forgive the prisoner and help others. " Later, he said: "Life and death are life, not human. If the cultivation of Fubao can be delayed, I will not be evil. What happiness can I ask for if doing good deeds is ineffective? Forgiveness is a national event; Buddhism and Taoism show that they are pagan religions, not only because their political system is corrupt, but also because they are incompetent in the world. I am a woman, how can I confuse the world? " Dare Cheng to go to war? Tell the left servant to shoot. When he hears about it, Taizong and the courtiers all booed. Please forgive the courtiers, and Taizong followed them; After hearing that, solid struggle is the only way to stop. When he had an argument with Emperor Taizong, Ling Xuan bore the brunt. Later, he said firmly, "Ling Xuan has served His Majesty for the longest time. He has always been careful and scheming. I heard of it beforehand, but I haven't missed a word. Unless there is a great reason, I hope not to abandon it. I'm a concubine, and it's my blessing to get married. This is neither a virtue nor a crisis. I am careful not to go to the right, but I am lucky to ask my consorts to pay homage. My life is not conducive to time, so I can't afford to die today. And those who are buried, hidden, and want to be invisible. Since ancient times, sages have been advocating frugality and thinness, but there is no road in the world. They have made great efforts for people of insight to make the world laugh. But please be buried because of the mountain. There is no need to set up a grave or a coffin. All the clothes you need are shingles. Don't forget your concubine. " Ten years in June, he fell in Li Zheng Concert Hall at the age of 36. In November of that year, Geng Yin was buried in Zhaoling.
I have tasted the good deeds of ancient women and folded them into ten volumes, named "Women's Principles", which is a sequence of its own. He also refuted Han Mingde's Ma Huanghou, thinking that he could not restrain his consorts and make them prosperous, and quitting his dragon and horse waterwheel was the last thing to prevent them. The guard said, "I will protect myself from being heard by idle people." That woman's writing is incoherent, so be careful not to say anything if she doesn't want to read it. " After the collapse, the palace minister heard that Taizong read it and added a narrative to show his closeness: "The book of the Queen can be hung down for future generations. Can't I give up my feelings when I reach my destiny! Unfortunately, every exhortation can make up for the shortcomings, but now I can't hear good words. I lost a good assistant inside! " In August of the first year of Shangyuan, your respectful name was changed to Empress Wen Deshun.
Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government
Empress Grandson is kind, filial and thrifty, and likes reading. She often deals with Shang Lue's past events in the world calmly, so it is of great benefit to replace her. If you are angry with the imperial secretary for not committing a crime, you will be angry again in the future. Please push dysprosium yourself, because you are in prison, and once you get angry, Xu Wei will be justified. Because it is in the palace pot, the punishment is not in vain. Princess Zhang Yu lost her mother very early and then adopted her, showing more love than she was born with. The concubines suffered from illness below, and later they were loved by their relatives, and they gave up their medicine and food to support them, all of which were favored by the palace. Modesty is always the first thing for church philosophers. After the Prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui 'an, tasted white wine, she used less tools in the East Palace. Please make use of it. Later, he was not allowed to say, "As a prince, if you don't stand in virtue or fame, why don't you use evil!"
If you get sick in the world and don't heal for many years, then serve and accompany you day and night. He often puts poison on his belt and says, "Speaking is righteousness!" Later it was called qi disease. The year before last, it changed from Shangxing Jiucheng Palace and Chai Shao to midnight. He went to the cabinet for questioning, then he followed the illness, and then he said, "Since I was shocked, why should I feel at ease!" So, this disease is very serious. The prince later said, "the medicine is ready, and the disease is not incurable." Please play forgiveness and enlightenment and you will be blessed. " Later, he said: "Life and death have a life, and we don't move by wisdom. If it is good and blessing, then I am not evil; If not, what's the use! There are countless national events that have been forgiven. Taoism, heresy, and the sick people in the country are all doing nothing. Why not do something with my wife? I'll do whatever you say. I might as well die soon! " The prince did not dare to go to war, but privately confessed and mourned. If he wanted to forgive him, he would stop it.
Diseases and tactics. At that time, the party returned the blame to the first person, and later said, "I have served your Majesty for a long time, and I have been cautious and secretive, and I have never vented my anger. If there is no big reason, I hope not to abandon it. My original family is predestined, so it is neither virtuous nor dangerous. If you want to save your son and grandson, you should be careful not to take the right one, but it is enough to ask your consorts to pay homage. My life is not good for others. I can't die and harm others. I hope I don't waste the world on hills and ridges, but because mountains are graves, I use tile wood. I still hope that your majesty is a gentleman, far from a villain, giving advice and advice, saving labor and stopping traveling. Although I am not in the grave, I sincerely hate everything! Children and grandchildren don't have to come, and it will be chaotic to see their sorrow. " Because I took poison from my clothes as a mark, I said, "On the day when your majesty is unprepared, I swear to take advantage of death and not be the ear of Lv Hou." I fainted in the legislative hall.
I have tasted the gains and losses of women since ancient times, that is, the 30-volume Women's Rules, and I have tasted that refuting Han Mingde's horse can't restrain the retreat of foreign relatives, so that the current dynasty is expensive and prosperous, and the car is like running water, which is the source of its ruin and the last stream. And collapse, the palace minister and the "female rules" played it, hoping for grief, to show the close minister: "The book of the Queen is enough to set an example! It's not that I don't know my own destiny, but after I entered the palace, I stopped listening to advice and lost a good assistant, so I can't forget my ears! " Call Fang and reinstate him.
In November, Empress Gengwu and Wende were buried in Zhaoling. Duan,, and led the people out to Su Zhang's door. The emperor ordered the palace officials to go to two places at night to open the camp; Zhi porch closed the door and refused to accept it. He said: "The military gate cannot be opened at night." The messenger said, "There are hands here." Zhi Xuan said, "You can't talk at night." Leave it to the Lightbringer. The emperor sighed: "What a general!" archaic
The emperor reverted to stone carvings and said, "The queen is frugal, and her last words are buried thinly, thinking that' the thief only wants treasures, and since there are no treasures, what can she expect?" "My original ambition is the same. The king takes the world as his home, why should things be in the mausoleum? They are his own. Today, because Jiuzhang Mountain is a mausoleum, there are only 100 stone cutters, and it will be completed in a few days. Don't hide gold and jade, Tibetan kurama's artifacts are all works of civil engineering and shapes. Raising them is very tiring. Let the descendants of the immortal be the law. "
After school, I made a layered view in the garden to see Zhaoling. I tried to attract Wei Zhi to join me so that I could see it. He said, "I am too weak to see you." He was instructed to sign his name and said, "I think if your majesty looks at the grave and shows it, then I will see it." Cry, because it ruined the scenery.
Zhenguan dignitary
Emperor Taizong has a good horse, and he likes it very much. He kept eating in the palace and died without a disease. Emperor Taizong angered the horse keeper and put him to death. The queen protested, "In the past, Qi Jinggong used horses to kill people. Please count Yan Zi's sins:' If you die raising a horse, you will be guilty. If the public kills people with horses, the people will blame my king for two crimes. When the princes hear about it, they will despise our country and punish the three crimes together. "Publicity is the release of evil. Your majesty, after reading these, have you forgotten the evil? " Emperor Taizong means to solve. Fang Lingxuan also said: "It is very beneficial for the queen to inspire the world with ordinary things."
A record of Wei's exhortation
(1) Princess Changle is about to come out. Emperor Taizong and others said, "Princess Changle was born to the queen, and both the queen and I love her. I will come out today, and I want to increase my courtesy. " Fang and others said, "Your Majesty loves you less. Why not invite Princess Yongjia?" However, Princess Yongjia is also the sister of Taizong. Gong said, "No way. Yesterday, Emperor Han Ming wanted to seal his son, saying,' My son must be with the late emperor, but can he be half-baked in Huaiyang?' The past history thought it was beautiful to speak. The son of heaven's sister is princess royal, and the son of heaven's daughter is a princess, which not only lengthens the word, but also expresses respect, or is shallow and affectionate, and has no tolerance for the ceremony. Emperor Taizong said to Empress Wende, "I want to add a gift to Princess Changle, but Wei Zhi refused." Queen Wende was overjoyed when she heard about it. She sent an envoy from China to pay 200,000 yuan and 400 silks to the official residence, and announced that the official said, "I often hear that the official is honest, but I can't see it. Now, I don't want to add princess Changle's ceremony, so I can only verify what I have heard and believed. May the public always remember this and don't move today. I like to listen to public statements, so I will reward them. Public affairs are the Tao, not for appearances. "
(2) Wang Wei, born of Empress Wende, was favored by Emperor Taizong. Your words: despise the king with more than three products. Intention to falsely destroy the public, etc. Anger emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong was furious, so he went to the palace of Qi State and launched more than three kinds of products. He said, "I have a saying that I want to say to Qing and others: The former emperor was the emperor, but the present emperor is not the evil of the emperor? The son of heaven was the son of heaven in the past, but the son of heaven today is not the son of heaven. Seeing the kings of the Sui family, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I forbid my son to speak casually. What do you mean by insulting my son? If I taught you, can't I humiliate you and others? " Fang is below, shivering and sweating, thank humbly. Yi Jin said, "I will never dare to treat Wang Wei lightly. However, in terms of ceremony, so are courtiers. It is said that although Wang Ren is very young, he is above the prince, and the kings regard him as a civil servant. If he is not a public official, he is also a vassal. Today, more than three categories are listed as public officials and are respected by the ministers of the Emperor and His Majesty. If it is a small dish, how can it be humiliated by Wei? I don't know if the national discipline is not good. With the wisdom of today, is Wang Wei like this? Besides, Sui Gaozu didn't know etiquette and justice, so he spoiled the literati and made them rude. It is a sin to find them, so it is not the law, but also He Zudao? " Emperor Taizong was very happy and said to his ministers, "You can't refuse to accept something reasonable. I said, the body's private love; Kevin·Z said that national laws. I was angry with that man and said there was no doubt; Seeing what Kevin·Z said, he didn't feel wronged. It is not easy for people to talk. "
[Poems of the Grandson Queen]
Spring outing song
The peach blossoms in the garden are dazzling to the sun, and the beautiful women in the boudoir are filled with the enthusiasm of spring.
The blooming peach blossom seems to have stolen her rosy cheeks, and the willow branches under the eaves seem to have learned her lithe figure.
She lingered among the flowers, watching butterflies flying and listening to orioles singing in the branches.
Far away in the forest, you don't have to ask. It is famous for its fantastic romance.
[Evaluation by contemporary historians]
Grandson of the Empress: The man who made Emperor Taizong cry.
About the author: Professor Meng, a historian of Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan (AD 636), on June 2 1 day, the queen died in Li Zhengdian. The female officials in the palace presented the book "Women's Rules" compiled by the queen to Emperor Taizong. Said: The Queen felt that the words were not refined enough to present before her death, and compiled the history of women's gains and losses in political participation in the past dynasties into this book. I don't want the queen to finish before ... Emperor Taizong opened the book and couldn't help crying. According to historical records, the accurate understanding of "the sorrow of the summit" should be inner sadness and loud crying.
Think about it, the inscrutable emperor all day; Think of the countless heroes that Emperor Taizong took the lead in killing the enemy. Think about it. Under the Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong sealed his throat with an arrow, and his younger brother died under the horse in a blink of an eye ... In short, the appearance of Emperor Taizong's tears now makes people feel that the gap is too big. However, this is also the old saying: men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place yet. The death of the queen really made Emperor Taizong very sad. He suddenly lost his dependence and felt empty. According to historical records, Emperor Taizong said: After entering the harem, I will never listen to her advice again.
The queen died in June and was buried in Zhaoling in November. Emperor Taizong often missed the queen and couldn't help himself, so he built a multi-storey building in the palace garden to facilitate his frequent visit to Zhaoling. On one occasion, Emperor Taizong led Wei Zhi to visit Zhaoling for Wei Zhi. Wei Zhi said, where is it? I can't see because of my bad eyes. Emperor Taizong used his men to give orders. Isn't that Zhaoling? Ah! Wei Zhi casually said, Ah, it's Zhaoling. I thought I wanted to see faeries. I want to see Zhaoling. I have already seen it. Wei Zhi's words, meaning is very obscure. Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong. The queen died first, so she was buried first. Later, Taizong died and was buried with the queen in Zhaoling. Fairy is the tomb of Tang Gaozu tang gaozu. He died in Zhenguan for nine years and was buried in a fairy. Wei Zhi means: As a son, you don't miss your father, but only your wife, which is known all over the world. This is not a good example. After all, we rule the world with filial piety. Don't you understand what Wei Zhi meant? But he misses the queen very much. In front of Wei Zhi, Emperor Taizong probably didn't need to hide this. He began to cry again. After this long whistle, Emperor Taizong ordered the demolition of this floor.
Although the missing building was demolished, I miss it all the time in Taizong's heart. Empress Grandson had an influence on Emperor Taizong before her death and still had an influence after her death. The empress was helpful to Tang Taizong's career before her death and will still be helpful after her death.
One year ago in May, Li Yuan passed away. In October, Emperor Taizong buried his father. Emperor Taizong conscientiously fulfilled all the formalities as a son and respectfully buried his father. He cried because he felt sorry for his father in many ways. When he cried bitterly about it, he really meant it. Sometimes, his father's death makes him feel a little relaxed. At this time, his crying is completely a performance ceremony, not really sad. Now, the queen has passed away. Compared with the death of his father, the death of the queen was a real blow to Emperor Taizong. For the death of the queen, Emperor Taizong's tears came from the heart.
Professor Meng's Other Comments on The Grandson Queen
The queen's eldest grandson brought a touch of tenderness to Zhenguan.
As a country, Shi is undoubtedly very virtuous if compared with Wu Zetian who later entered the palace. She abides by etiquette, is willing to be the supporting role of Taizong and the country, and never goes off the rails. In line with the policy of governing the country through diligence and thrift, she took the lead in advocating frugality, refraining from ostentation and extravagance, and abandoning gorgeous clothes. She likes reading and pays attention to improving herself. Even when combing your hair, don't forget to put the book in front of you and read a few pages. She was approachable and concerned about concubines, which created a good harem environment for Emperor Taizong. Sometimes when Emperor Taizong was in a bad mood, it was easy to take his anger out on the imperial secretary, who was actually innocent or just made some minor mistakes. The queen knew that arguing with Emperor Taizong directly would only make Emperor Taizong more angry and annoyed. Whenever this happened, the queen followed Emperor Taizong, pretending to be angry and criticizing the imperial secretary. Take the initiative to find Emperor Taizong and say that he will deal with this unreasonable imperial secretary on behalf of the emperor. Shi knows too well. She can always put the words very incisively and appropriately, making Taizong obey her unconsciously, so she ordered people to lock up the so-called "guilty" imperial secretary. When Emperor Taizong's anger subsides, the queen will look for him to analyze things slowly. Therefore, as long as there is a queen, there will never be excessive punishment in the inner palace. The harem is under the concubines. As long as someone is sick, the queen will personally go to see the condolences and even bring her own medicated diet to the patients. So there is no one in the palace who doesn't love the queen. The kindness of the eldest grandson queen to her servants sometimes makes her children jealous. Because as the mother of a country, the eldest grandson is extremely strict with his children.
Moral orientation
Empress usually educates her son with humility and thrift as her first virtue. Mrs. Sui 'an, the nurse of the Prince, once told the Queen that the tools used in the East Palace were few, and she hoped that the Queen would show the Emperor and add more tools. The queen refused, saying, "As a prince, I'm afraid I won't stand up for my virtue and fame. How can I be afraid that I won't use it? " Speaking, these are not earth-shattering virtues, but as a queen, it is hard to say that she is kind, filial and thrifty, and that she is strict with herself. After all, she has done it. It is because of her actions that the harem and court in the early period of Zhenguan had more peaceful atmosphere. Although Emperor Taizong trusted her very much, in order to avoid setting a precedent for the harem to interfere in politics, she always tried to ignore the imperial rewards and punishments and personnel arrangements mentioned by Emperor Taizong. It's not that she doesn't care, but that she helps Emperor Taizong in her own unique way. She often discussed with Emperor Taizong the experiences and lessons of the chaotic rise and fall in history, and used the past as a metaphor for the present. When Emperor Taizong met the minister's suggestion to go back to the palace and get angry, she could always skillfully resolve it. A typical example is the story that she dressed in royal clothes and congratulated her on "being an upright person". She opposed Sun Chang Wuji, the founding hero of Emperor Taizong who entrusted the important task to his younger brother, and reminded Emperor Taizong to prevent consorts from interfering in politics. But unfortunately, for Li Shimin, the most important and dearest woman around her, she only disappeared when she was 36 years old.
last words
In June of the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson was seriously ill. Seeing that she had tried her best in medicine, the prince lost his temper because the queen's condition still didn't improve. He said to the queen, "the medicine has been used up, and mother's condition has not improved." Let my son and priest tell my father's story, ask the sinners in the world for forgiveness and get enlightenment. Maybe I can get a blessing. " This kind of Amnesty or becoming a monk was also widely used at that time and before, and it was not outrageous. But the queen won't allow it. She said, "Life is life, and intelligence can't change it. If good is rewarded with good, I have never been evil; Otherwise, what good is demanding? The so-called pardon of sinners is a matter of state and cannot be pardoned casually. This is something that the emperor never does. How can I let the emperor do something he doesn't like now because I am a woman? If I really want to do this, I might as well leave as soon as possible. " The queen's words, from emotion to reason, are speechless. Some people can say with a clear conscience before they die: "If good is rewarded with good, I have never been evil." The eldest grandson knows that he is dying, but he still has something to say to the emperor. She has to say everything while she still has the strength to leave. At that time, Fang was expelled from his home by Emperor Taizong because he made some mistakes. This matter has always been on the mind of the eldest grandson. She said to Emperor Taizong, "Fang has been relying on your majesty for many years. He has always been cautious and secretive. He never revealed any of his clever plans, big or small. I hope your majesty will not alienate him if there is no heinous crime. " It may not be difficult to find talented and scheming courtiers, but how many people can be so considerate and loyal at the same time through the ages? Fang and his Li family can be said to be grief and joy and * * *, honor and disgrace and * * *. Emperor Taizong probably got used to it because he was old. Perhaps it was a long period of time that made Emperor Taizong ignore what was really rare. At that time, he only saw a trivial mistake in front of him. But the queen reminded Taizong. The eldest grandson added: "My royal family has gained a high position because of my concubine. It is very dangerous that they are in such a lofty position without any special virtue or merit. Once they fall, they may be doomed. In order to protect their children and grandchildren, please don't put them in a position of power, let them behave well in the court as consorts. "
Poison expresses the mind.
Speaking of himself, the eldest grandson said: "My birth is not good for others, and I can't kill others. I very much hope that your majesty will not bother the world because of my funeral, and build a grave because of the mountain, and use tile wood for the funerary objects. " The queen also wants to repeat some words, although these words have been said many times in history, and Emperor Taizong is also familiar with them. However, the familiar truth is often ignored. She said: "I sincerely hope that your majesty can be a gentleman, stay away from villains, give advice and advice, minimize all kinds of engineering construction, stop cruising and hunting activities and reduce the burden on the people." If we can do this, even if I am in the grave, I won't regret it! My concubines will no longer be able to accompany your majesty, but the children don't have to let them come. I have told your majesty everything I want to say. There they are, and nothing can be saved. Seeing their sadness makes me uneasy. " Speaking of which, the queen took out the poison hidden in her sleeve for several years and said, "When your majesty was seriously ill, I swore that I would never be the second Lv Hou." She wants to end her life in a way similar to euthanasia. A few days later, the queen died in Li Zheng Hall. She left ten volumes of books called "Women's Rules", which were written by the Queen according to the gains and losses of ancient women. There are still some scattered words that Ma Huanghou who refutes Han Mingde is the root of his failure, and it is also the reason to stop him from being the last first-class. Emperor Taizong held it in his hand and read his grief to show the festival of approaching ministers: "The book of the queen is enough to set an example! I didn't know it was destiny, and sadness didn't help, but from then on, the court couldn't listen to the queen's advice and lost a good assistant, so it was particularly sad! " According to the queen's wishes, Emperor Taizong immediately ordered Fang to be recalled and reinstated. And dealt with the aftermath in a concise way.
I put three introductions together, so tired! Deleted and added a lot.
