Princess Taiping is the daughter of Wu Zetian and Emperor Li Zhi. The first half of her life can be said to be smooth sailing. Her parents are the empress dowager, and she is loved by thousands of people. As for her later life, it is difficult to evaluate. I'm sure you also have your own concerns about what her future life will be like.
The description of Princess Taiping's first half life in the history books is as follows: Princess Taiping, born after the emperor, fell in love with all the women? . It can be seen that her childhood is very moist.
In this way, until the age of eight, Princess Taiping's life encountered a small twist. At that time, Tubo sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and married a princess for his Zanpu. I don't know what this emissary thinks, but I took a fancy to the young Princess Taiping at first sight. Therefore, this matter was raised in the court. Of course, the princess is still too young to go to Tubo, but she can get engaged first.
At that time, Wu Zetian did not want to listen. How can my daughter, who I like so much, be sent to a place like Tubo to suffer? Didn't you wake up? This is definitely not possible, but it is not clear. After all, the face of Tubo still needs to be given. Coincidentally, the old lady of the Wu family also died at that time. As a granddaughter, Princess Taiping must have filial piety. Therefore, Wuhou refused the Tibetan emissary on the grounds that Princess Taiping was going to become a monk and pray for her grandmother.
Princess Taiping has been a Taoist for a long time, and Wu Zetian, who was so busy with state affairs, forgot to arrange lifelong events for her. Until one day in the first year of Yonglong in the Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping dressed as a military commander, holding a sword and dancing in front of her mother. After the dance, Wuhou asked? Although the Tang Dynasty has an open atmosphere, women are not forbidden to ride horses and shoot arrows, but what does this military uniform mean? ?
Princess Taiping's answer is clever: what about a horse? ?
Look, this answer not only loses the openness of Datang, but also has the shyness of my little daughter. Therefore, Emperor Li Zhi decided to choose Xu as Princess Taiping. Who was chosen? Xue Shao!
This Xue Shao is no ordinary person. His mother is Princess Chengyang, the younger sister of Emperor Gaozong. In other words, Xue Shao is actually the cousin of Princess Taiping. As the only living daughter of Wuhou, Princess Taiping's wedding was grand.
How grand is it? According to historical records, on the day of the Xue family's wedding, lights were decorated in Wannian County, Chang 'an, and even the flowers and trees were scorched by the light of the lights. The wedding car entered the county gate, and the car was too big to get in, so it tore down the gate and entered the city in a mighty way.
During Xue Shao's lifetime, Princess Taiping's life should be happy. No matter official history or unofficial history, there is no rumor. They gave birth to four children.
In the seventh year when Princess Taiping married Xue Shao, a great change took place, which opened the red makeup era in the Tang Dynasty.
The so-called red makeup era is that female politicians are active in the court. Different from the intervention of Lv Zhi's harem in Han Dynasty, the female politicians in this period had a real position in the court, such as Shangguan Waner and Princess Taiping.
This year, Wuhou is still the queen, but the signs of claiming the emperor are already obvious. The marquis of Wu wanted to be the emperor, and the people in the imperial clan would not stand idly by, so Wang Langya and others began to plan a mutiny. In the planning group, there is a special person. He is Xue Shao's eldest brother.
As the saying goes, there is no windtight wall. The Li Chong mutiny ended before it started, and one of the participants, Xue Shao's eldest brother, caught a cold directly. As his younger brother, Xue Shao was also implicated. He fought many battles first, then went to prison, and then starved to death in prison.
Since then, Princess Taiping's happy first half of her life has come to an end. The sudden tragedy seriously impacted the princess's heart and made her see clearly the role of power.
After Xue Shao's death, Wuhou increased the number of food cities for Princess Taiping from 350 to 1200. At the same time, Princess Taiping was allowed to participate in the management of state affairs.
In the second year after Xue Shao's death, Princess Taiping got married and remarried to Wu (nephew of the marquis of Wu), but life was not happy. She began to indulge in male sex and raised a small white face.
At this time of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong had collapsed, and Wuhou cleared all obstacles and became the emperor. When the marquis of Wu proclaimed himself emperor, ministers naturally offered gifts to congratulate him. As a daughter, Princess Taiping is indispensable. But what to send? The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and it was nothing for a princess to raise several Toy Boy, let alone an emperor. So, Princess Taiping's gift is a pretty boy? Zhang Changzong.
Zhang Changzong was a handsome man of that era and would cater to Huang Wu's wishes, so he was deeply loved by Wu Zetian after he entered the palace. So he introduced his younger brother Zhang Yizhi to Wu Zetian.
At this time, relying on the love of Wu Zetian, the two men pulled the tiger skin and pulled the banner, publicly sold the official titles, and made the court malodorous. Naturally, the arrogant two people were secretly recorded in a small notebook. who is it? Wu Yanji, the husband of Li Zhongrun, Li Xianhui and Li Xianhui.
Just by looking at this surname, we can know that these three people are either royalty or national interests. Of course, people with insufficient level cannot participate in this level of struggle. Jong Li Run and Li Xianhui are Li Xian's parents and children. You know, at this time, Li Xian has been re-established as a prince.
Knowing this, Zhang Ran went to Huang Wu to have a pillow talk. If you say this pillow wind, it really works. Huang Wu cursed in front of Prince Li Xian, and then gave Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji the dead hole on the monkey, followed by Li Xianhui's dead hole!
When this matter came out, the court was in an uproar. Boy, two gigolo unexpectedly let Li Tang gens die for it. This is a big event! As an aunt, Princess Taiping is even more angry. Therefore, Princess Taiping secretly joined forces with important officials such as Li Dan and Zhang Jianzhi. After careful planning, she finally successfully staged a coup in the first year of Shenlong, killing two people and forcing Huang Wu Zen to be located in Li Xian.
At this time, Huang Wu did not die, but was put under house arrest and no longer participated in state affairs.
Successful upper Li Xian, naturally rose. Li Dan's brother was named? Anguo Wang Xiang? Princess Taiping sealed Hou? Princess Taiping of Zhenguo? .
However, Li Xian was born a coward. At this time, the imperial court can be said to be weak and strong, which gave birth to countless careerists. Prime minister Li Dan, as the second person in the imperial clan, is definitely the pillar of the court; Princess Taiping has a high status and may not have no chance of winning. After all, Huang Wu Zhu Yu is ahead; There are also a group of careerists, namely Queen Webster of Li Xian and her daughter Princess Anle.
Emperor Wu's position was due to the poor health of Emperor Gaozong, and Webster's position was entirely due to Li Xian's cowardice, and Huang Wu made a good start.
In order to stabilize power, Webster joined forces with Shangguan Waner internally; Externally, Wu Sansi, who colluded with the imperial court, and unofficial history even said that they had an affair.
At this time, the court formed a tripartite confrontation. At this moment, Webster's in order to become the second person in the marquis of Wu, even with his daughter Princess Anle, poisoned Li Xian!
When this statement comes out, it will undoubtedly cause drastic changes in the court. At this time, Webster wanted to ascend the throne, and there were two obstacles, Li Dan and Princess Taiping. Therefore, Li Zhongmao, Li Xian's illegitimate son, Wang Wen, became emperor, Webster's assistant government, and Wang Xiang participated in politics.
But this is only a stopgap measure, and the imperial clan in Li Tang is absolutely not allowed to have a second military leader. So Princess Taiping and Li of the royal family decided to destroy Webster.
At this time, if you want to break the game, you must introduce external forces. Princess Taiping looked around and chose a man, Li Longji, the son of Li Dan, the king of Linzi.
In this way, under the planning of Princess Taiping and others, less than a month after he ascended the throne, he led Wei to kill him in the palace, suppressed Webster and others with iron and blood, abolished the throne, and made Li Dan the king, for the emperor and for the sake.
After Li Dan ascended the throne, he increased the food city of Princess Taiping to thousands of households, and at the same time made Li Longji the Crown Prince. Since then, Princess Taiping's power has reached its peak. According to official records? Seven prime ministers, five out of the main entrance? At that time, many decisions made by Li Dan had to be approved by Princess Taiping before they could be implemented.
However, Li Longji, the Crown Prince, is not a good crop. Princess Taiping is so powerful that she is almost the actual controller of the imperial court. Who did the prince listen to after he ascended the throne? Wuhou? Is this spell really unbreakable?
At this time, Princess Taiping also found Li Longji's difficulties, and it was by no means easy. So she actively encouraged Li Dan to change the prince on the grounds that Li Longji was not the eldest son.
Zong Rui Li Dan is also difficult to deal with. On the one hand, he is a sister, on the other hand, he is a son. What should I do? Simply take the initiative to meditate, let Li Longji reign ahead of schedule, and be the emperor's father himself!
At this point, Princess Taiping and my nephew Li Longji have reached a life-and-death situation. It's time to move the knife.
Princess Taiping, together with her left servant, Shi Zhong and Shang Shu Zhong Shuling, prepared for the mutiny in Wude Hall. Li Longji's side was ready, and a backhand blow ruined the plan.
The mutiny at Wude Hall failed, and all the followers of Princess Taiping were killed or injured. Princess Taiping went to the deep forest for three days by herself.
Li Longji won't miss this wonderful opportunity. After catching Princess Taiping, give her death directly. Since then, Princess Datang has finished her life, and the red makeup era of Datang has come to an end because of the death of the protagonist.
