The name of the queen's eldest grandson is not recorded in history. According to the annotation on the Guanyin Sutra, the fine print is "Guanyin Maid". Biography [1] The eldest grandson queen (60 1-636) was born in Luoyang, Henan. Her ancestor was Tuoba of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later was the head of the imperial clan, so she was named a grandson. Prime minister Gao Zuzhi, Feng Yi Wang. Great-grandfather Yu, Pingyuan Gong. Zutong, General Zuo. Father Sheng, the word Ji, dabbled in the history of books, with him, Shi Sui as the right general. Gao's mother is the grandson of King Qinghe in Northern Qi Dynasty and the daughter of King Le 'an. The eldest grandson was born in Chang 'an in the first year of Renshou. After nine years of great career (13 years old), she married Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, she was made queen. In June of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), the eldest grandson of the queen died in Li Zhengtang at the age of 36. In November of the same year, he was buried in Zhaoling. It was called Wende. In August of the first year of Shangyuan, it was renamed as the Queen of Wende Shunsheng. Let's start with the death of Queen Wende. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, after the death of Empress Wende, Emperor Taizong was heartbroken and built the magnificent Zhaoling Mausoleum according to his wife's last words. "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 Yao Huiling). 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 Yao Huiling") This example of providing supplies for the dead is extremely rare, almost initiated by Emperor Taizong. It can be seen that Emperor Taizong's love for his dead wife is deep. Not only that, Zhaoling also set a precedent for the empress to be buried together in the same cave. The couple really achieved "born in the same cave and died in the same cave", which is rare among feudal emperors. "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. (Biography of Wei Zhi in the New Tang Dynasty) The story of "Looking at the Tomb and Destroying it" is believed to have been heard by people familiar with history. This story reflects the restraint of etiquette and morality on her husband. 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. From then on, my mind was in a trance, and I forgot my taste when I ate, and it was midnight "(Answer to Wei Zhi's handwritten imperial edict of the whole Tang poetry, see Yuan Gui in the 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. It was also because of his yearning for the queen that Emperor Taizong did something unique-raising his eldest daughter jinyang princess and his youngest son Li Zhi. Why do you want to keep them around and raise them yourself? "Don Yao Hui" recorded that "the youngest son of the Jin Wang Wende Empress, after the collapse, Taizong was pitiful and refused to become a monk." At the same time, it can also be verified in the princess of jinyang princess Biography of the New Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong's intention to raise his young son and daughter in person is already obvious-because he loves his mother, he raises his son alone and misses his mother to comfort himself by suppressing his empty mind. However, this kind of comfort can only be achieved by raising a glass to relieve anxiety, and because of this mood of Emperor Taizong, even after the death of his eldest grandson, the harem was childless for many years. In Zhenguan 14, Lee Tae, the second son of the eldest grandson, competed with his brother for the position of Prince. In order to please his father, the prince built a large-scale construction project in Luoyang, and built an yique Buddhist shrine to pursue happiness for his mother. ("Ouyang Xiuji" Volume 138) Cen Wenben's Three Niches in the Tang Dynasty "Three Niches" was written by Cen Wenben, the assistant minister of Tang Zhongshu, and he wrote excellent books and calligraphy and painting. Longmen Mountain, Henan Province, is surrounded by mountains and waters. It is said that it is called Xiangshan in the east and Longmen in the west. The stone carving between the Longmen mountain walls is a Buddha statue, hundreds of sizes, mostly in the late Wei and Tang Dynasties. However, these three niches are the largest, which were built by Wang Wei Station for the eldest grandson. ) This record can also be found in Zhao Mingcheng's The Stone. At this time, the queen's eldest grandson has been dead for more than five years. Imagine that when Emperor Yang Di sought official positions, he ignored his mother's side and openly bribed his father's favorite concubine, Mrs. Ji Xuanhua, while Lee Tae carried out his mother who had died for many years to please his father. This fully shows how infatuated Li Shimin is with his beloved wife. Not only did no one take a sip of herbal tea, but her children were also cared for by their father's deep love for their mother behind her. The son's attitude towards his mother could even affect the love of Emperor Taizong. Even in the late Zhenguan period, when Xu Hui, a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, was gradually favored by the king, Li Shimin still had to keep Li Zhi, who had become a prince, with him. So the ministers wrote twice in Zhenguan 18 and Zhenguan 20 years, asking the emperor to let the prince return to the East Palace. Finally, the two sides compromised. Prince Li Zhi 15 lives in the East Palace, and 15 accompanies his father. (In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Gaozong was appointed Crown Prince, but he didn't respect sages. Emperor Taizong also tried to let the prince live on the side of the bedroom and never go to the East Palace. As the minister said in the throne, "Father and son can't love each other", it is precisely because Li Zhi can freely enter and leave the Inner Palace that his love affair with Wu Zetian was derived, which brought disaster to the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps Li Zhi also realized his father's deep yearning for his mother. In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, in memory of his mother, the magnificent Ji 'en Temple was built (Ji 'en Temple is very large, * * * has 13 courtyards, 897 houses and Yun Ge Buddhist Temple, which is extremely luxurious. In today's words, this is a project that wastes people and money. Without the support and acquiescence of the emperor, the prince has no ability and courage to do so. 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! In fact, the eldest grandson's contribution to Buddhism goes far beyond these two things: during the Zhenguan period, due to the unexpected arrival of the eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong went north to Taiyuan to pray for the queen in Xuanzhong Temple, and once gave alms to rebuild the temple. ("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 Tieli") 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 Addendum Volume 50" Queen's grandson once said: "Buddhists and old foreigners teach their ears and do nothing!" Emperor Taizong did nothing on earth, but he also did something to bring his beloved wife back from the dead. In the Biography of Empress Wende of the Old Tang Dynasty, in fact, looking through historical records, Emperor Taizong did not do or did a lot of things to his eldest grandson and her children. For example, in the early years of Zhenguan, Anye, the eldest grandson's half-brother, participated in the rebellion and was punished according to law. However, because of the intercession of the eldest grandson, 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 general logic, the queen should kneel at this moment for fear that she would be implicated, but instead of worrying about her situation, the eldest grandson asked the emperor for leniency. What kind of love did she get to be so confident? Emperor Taizong was a man who was extremely strict with officials. A minister suspected that people were corrupt and took 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 didn't follow the rule that the princess's tomb only has one stone gate, but used three stone gates in an unusual way, making it a tomb of 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. As for Emperor Taizong's affection for the young Jinyang Queen, the princess and the three sons born to the queen, or the queen's brother Sun Chang Wuji, it is even more difficult to say, there are too many books! Although it is a derogatory term, this idiom should reflect some people's views on Taizong's doting. On the one hand, the children born to the queen are favored, on the other hand, other concubines are treated in general. On the one hand, there are many stories about the queen's love, on the other hand, there are no stories in other harems except the birth of XXX, which can fully prove that Emperor Taizong is extremely fond of his eldest grandson. In fact, for thousands of years, Emperor Taizong and his eldest grandson have been recognized as loving couples by both the government and the people. Until the last ten years, for some unknown reason, perhaps it was because the eldest grandson of the Queen did not use the love of Emperor Taizong to harm others, perhaps it was the film and television tide prevailing among princes and princesses, or perhaps it was the curiosity and grandstanding psychology of boring gossip people, which led a group of capable people to turn loving couples into bitter couples, and made Emperor Taizong favor passers-by harem in history books, even more. They choose to turn a blind eye, pretending that they can't see many favored deeds of the grandson of unofficial history, the official history, or distorting these deeds into a show or even posing as an "objective" gesture that the history books are written against the will of the winners; On the other hand, to describe Li Shimin's harem as Li Shimin's favorite, there is no record except the birth of XXX, and YY's story is either gorgeous or noble but cannot be justified. Even for YY, he tried to graft the stories of two or three or more characters onto one person. What's more, he took the history book of Emperor Taizong's daily service to his father, "In August of the second year of Zhenguan, the emperor took no military affairs and looked after the Nishinomiya every day" as evidence to prove that a concubine was favored and made a big joke that Emperor Taizong visited the Nishinomiya every day. Perhaps, some people will say, who knows what happened a thousand years ago, only he knows who Tang Taizong loved. However, these people don't believe in the clanking records left by historical witnesses thousands of years ago, but only believe in the complicated and earth-shattering love story of Tang Taizong witnessed by people with "deep" and penetrating eyes thousands of years later, which they call "the great Tang Dynasty momentum". If this is the "Tang Dynasty momentum", it is a pity that Emperor Taizong did not have this momentum. He is "vulgar" and "outdated" and only loves his wife, even though he is an emperor with three palaces and six hospitals.
