The tomb of Shangguan Waner is not luxurious, and even can be said to be hastily buried. There is serious man-made damage in the tomb, and there is no buried jewelry. Experts speculate that this is the tomb of Shangguan Waner, and Li Longji deliberately found someone to destroy it in order to vent his anger. When Shangguan Waner died, she was a sinner and a loser in political struggle. After her death, her coffin was dug up and disappeared, showing how much her opponent hated her.
According to historical records, Shangguan Waner is a close confidant of Wei. After she ascended the throne, she naturally won't be given a high-standard mausoleum. In the epitaph of Shangguan Waner, we can see that many records of Shangguan Waner in history books are wrong. The biggest contradiction is that Shangguan Waner has always been party member of Princess Taiping. As an accomplice of Princess Taiping, she also participated in the coup in Li Longji, but she died inexplicably on the day of the coup. Now that I think about it, Shangguan Waner should have died in the chaos of the coup and become a victim of the coup. Why the history books were so tampered with can only be said to be an excuse for Li Longji to clean Princess Taiping at that time.
On the cover of Shangguan Waner's epitaph, Zhao Yi-er is clearly written, but at the beginning of the article, Shangguan Waner is called Jieyu. This shows that after the death of Shangguan Waner, the level has also decreased. Shangguan Waner is a gifted scholar of Li Zhizhong at the age of 13. According to Wu Zetian's bullying in the harem, Shangguan Waner's talent should be an illusion, just a pass given to her by Wu Zetian.
According to historical records, Shangguan Waner had an affair with Wu Sansi, hoping to support Wei Hou to become the next Wu Zetian. However, as can be seen from the records on the epitaph, Shangguan Waner made great efforts to prevent Princess Li from becoming the next one, and even drank poison to persecute her, so Shangguan Waner will definitely not be the queen of Wei. Another evidence that can show that the historical records are untrue is that the epitaph records that when Shangguan Waner died, Princess Taiping was very sad, gave 500 silks and sent people to mourn.
There are murals in Shangguan Waner's tomb, which can be verified, but above the tomb is farmland. Under long-term irrigation, the murals in the tomb were destroyed, and now only vague pigments can be seen. The tomb of Shangguan Waner was unearthed, although there are not many funerary objects for archaeologists to study and verify. However, the records in the epitaph are of great help to the historical restoration at that time, and why Shangguan Waner's life was misinterpreted by historical books should be Li Longji's hands and feet.
