The most beautiful mother in history: the eldest grandson queen
Chastity in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is an eternal topic in China. People always praise Li Shimin's broad mind with beautiful language and eulogize Wei Zhi's fearless courage to criticize others. However, people often ignore a behind-the-scenes promoter of the rule of Zhenguan, who is the most beautiful mother and son queen in history. Behind every successful man, there is always a talented woman. This is perfect for Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. The eldest grandson was low-key and humble, but history never forgot her. Let's not talk about Tao Li. Her name will always be associated with the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

She likes reading since she was a child. She is well-read and knowledgeable. There are comments in history books that she knows the big picture, takes the overall situation into account and has outstanding opinions. Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Gaozong Tang Gaozu, was both wise and brave and good at fighting, which made great contributions to his father's establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Prince Li Chengjian was jealous of his reputation, so he conspired with his fourth brother Li Yuanji to harm Li Shimin. After getting the news, he immediately consulted with his wife and decided to strike first, which led to the change of Xuanwu Gate and killed Li and Li Yuanji. Two months later, Li Yuan abdicated, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, made himself queen, and changed his title to Zhenguan, so the famous Zhenguan rule in history began.

The eldest grandson married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and she has always been Li Shimin's "domestic trouble and foreign invasion" during the war years and the era of reform and elimination of the old. Her vision, virtue and wisdom won the favor and trust of Li Shimin. However, she did not become arrogant because of this. The eldest grandson is the first in the harem and has an extremely noble position, but she is modest and kind, and has a heart. Once, a maid-in-waiting accidentally offended Emperor Taizong, who was furious and must be punished. After the emperor calmed down, the eldest grandson gently persuaded and interceded with the ladies-in-waiting, and Emperor Taizong finally withdrew the power of attorney. Throughout the history of the harem, it has always been an arena full of intrigue and intrigue, and sometimes it will become a slaughterhouse.

Only the harem presided over by the eldest grandson was always in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, and the stability of the rear area provided the most powerful support for Tang Taizong's political reform ahead. The smooth development of Zhenguan's rule was really promoted by the eldest grandson, and she is worthy of being the most beautiful mother in the world.

The harem's participation in politics and consorts' insurrection is a cancer that China feudal society has been unable to eradicate. Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, chaos and regime collapse caused by consorts have been common in China. Once a woman gains power in the harem, her family and relatives immediately ascend to heaven, but the eldest grandson queen is an exception. After Emperor Taizong sat firmly in the dragon chair, he repeatedly asked his eldest grandson's brother Sun Chang Wuji to be a general of Wuhou, an official minister and a right assistant minister. The eldest grandson refused to write many times, and she made a bitter protest with the historical lesson that the monopoly of consorts in the Han Dynasty led to chaos in the world. Sun Chang and Emperor Taizong are close friends, and they have fought side by side with Li Shimin for many years with outstanding achievements. Sun Chang Wuji is the main planner and participant of Xuanwu Gate reform, and he is the founding father.

Even without the queen, Emperor Taizong awarded him the highest reward, which he deserved. When other heroes were rewarded with high-ranking officials, Emperor Taizong was really sorry and decided not to listen to the queen's dissuasion, but to reward Sun Chang mowgli. Empress Grandson was helpless, so she begged Emperor Taizong to reward her brother for being a small official outside Kyoto. Later, Sun Chang Wuji was ordered to write to Emperor Taizong, "begging for words". At the request of the Queen's brother and sister, Emperor Taizong had to grant Sun Chang Wuji a prestigious prose officer with no real power.

Judging from the history of internal and external disputes in China feudal society, the so-called political struggle in China feudal society is actually a conspiracy history of power and interests. In the face of the temptation of the highest position, you can appear so calm that you can't even avoid it. How many can leave the eldest grandson queen when you open the history books?

Wei Zhi was the most important counselor in the period of Emperor Taizong. It can be said that without Wei Zhi, there would be no chastity rule. However, few people know that there would be no Wei Zhi without the eldest grandson queen. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Princess Changle, the biological daughter of Emperor Taizong and his eldest grandson, was getting married. Emperor Taizong ordered his sister Princess Yongjia to accompany Princess Changle twice. I didn't expect the dowry of Princess Changle in Wei Zhi to be higher than that of Tang Gaozu, which was very impolite and strongly opposed. In front of the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty, in the face of loyalty and filial piety, Emperor Taizong reluctantly agreed to follow Wei Zhi's advice. In this way, the marriage capital of Princess Changle is reduced to half that of Princess Yongjia. Emperor Taizong was very unhappy. After returning to the harem, he complained bitterly and resented Wei Zhi.

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, the eldest grandson of the Queen praised Wei Zhi: Your Majesty and I are married, which can be said to be of great significance. But I usually talk to your Majesty, but I still observe what you say and think twice. Wei Zhi is just an official of North Korea. He can risk offending the emperor and call a spade a spade. This is the real social minister! After listening to these heartfelt words, Emperor Taizong's heart was suddenly enlightened, and his depression and resentment vanished. Afterwards, the eldest grandson also sent someone to send 400 silks and 400 silks in recognition of his outspoken suggestions. Wei Zhi was very moved and immediately wrote back to the Queen, saying: I am willing to do my part for the Tang Dynasty.

On one occasion, Emperor Taizong returned to the palace, full of anger, and repeatedly shouted: I will kill this hillbilly sooner or later! When his eldest grandson asked him who he wanted to kill, Emperor Taizong said bitterly, "Wei Zhi, an old man, always defied me in court, which embarrassed me. Hearing this, the queen's eldest grandson quietly retreated to the inner room, put on his royal clothes and came out to meet each other. Emperor Taizong was very surprised when he saw it, because in the Tang Dynasty, it was a grand ceremony for the queen to put on royal robes to participate in canonization, sacrifice or court meeting. When the eldest grandson saw Emperor Taizong, she immediately bowed down and congratulated him. Emperor Taizong was surprised and asked, where did that happiness come from? The queen answered: the sage said that the monarch was clear and the minister was straight, and there were wise ministers in the DPRK who spoke frankly. Isn't it because of your holiness? Hearing this, Emperor Taizong suddenly realized that he immediately turned anger into joy and rewarded Wei Zhi. It is with the secret protection of the eldest grandson queen that Wei Zhi's head, which was almost cut off, is more robust and the prosperous scene of Zhenguan rule is more magnificent!

The queen's eldest grandson suffered from asthma in his early years, and his condition deteriorated day by day because of running around. In order to seek the blessing of the gods and avoid disasters, the emperor and the prime minister of the prince discussed the plan of amnesty for the whole world. After learning about it, the eldest grandson tried to dissuade him. She said: Don't move the affairs of the country because of my own misfortune. It's a matter of life and death. We can't force it. At this moment, the Prime Minister Fang was driven out of the court by the restless Emperor Taizong because of an accidental mistake. Before his death, his eldest grandson asked Tang Taizong to meet three conditions: first, after death, everything should be simple, without disturbing the people or shocking the officials; Second, ask for forgiveness of the minor faults of the sage; Third, once again implore not to award senior officials to parents' relatives. Thousands of years later, after reading this will, it seems that people can still feel the heart of this wise queen beating violently!

For thousands of years, the people of China have always had a dream of being wise and honest. However, outstanding monarch and ministers like Emperor Taizong and Wei Zhi really come once in a blue moon, and imperial phoenix like the eldest grandson queen is even more rare. Some people say that power is an aphrodisiac and it is the easiest to confuse people. Empress Grandson, at the peak of her power, bent down her noble body calmly and modestly. However, behind her, she has set up a monument that will never fall!
