Mother, eldest grandson, is the most beloved and valued son of Emperor Taizong.
When Li Chenggan was 3 years old, Emperor Taizong asked Sun Jiaqing, the nephew of his grandson, to be his attendant. When Cheng Gan was 5 years old, Emperor Taizong asked Lu Deming, the 18th bachelor of Qin Dynasty, and Confucius to teach his son classics. Shortly after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Li Chenggan, who was only 8 years old, was appointed as the Crown Prince. From the 4th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong began to let Li Chenggan handle state affairs, and when he was in mourning or left Beijing, he assumed the important task of supervising the country. Li Chenggan is "quite knowledgeable" and "quite able to smell things", but he did well in his early years.
After Li Chenggan fell ill, Emperor Taizong, who was neither religious nor religious, ordered Tianzhu, a monk and a woman, and Qin Ying, a Taoist priest, to pray for his beloved son. After Cheng Gan recovered from his illness, Emperor Taizong sent sixty silks and ten clothes to Yan in time, and called 3,000 monks to become monks. He also specially built Xihuaguan and Puguang Temple, and reduced the crimes of prisoners in prison to pray for Cheng Gan.
In order not to let his son work too hard, Emperor Taizong specially allowed Cheng Gan not to read more books, just to comment on the past with Kong. However, Li Chenggan did not take the opportunity to indulge himself. On the contrary, he showed his outstanding talent in governing the country and keeping the country safe. On one occasion, Emperor Taizong asked him to try to write a general plan for governing the country. As a result, he quickly wrote three pages of valuable content. After reading it, Emperor Taizong proudly showed off to the courtiers and said, "First, prison is the most important and won the favor of the country."
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Chenggan took Canadian dollars. Therefore, Emperor Taizong pardoned the death penalty and gave five or more sons the title of father, the latter. Three days in the world, the ministers had a big feast, and the silks were different. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Chenggan married Su Shi, the eldest daughter of the secretariat of Xu, as the crown princess. To this end, Emperor Taizong gave a big banquet and gave ministers different silks. The all-night banquet was even persuaded by Chu Suiliang. Li Xiang, the eldest son of Li Chenggan, was born in Zhenguan 12. Because of the joy of the birth of the emperor's grandson, Emperor Taizong ordered all prisoners banned in the world to be punished first, and the internal and external official positions were above five grades. The latter, each with its own heroes, celebrated five days on earth and set up a feast of more than five items in the East Palace.
In Zhenguan 13, Emperor Taizong set up a Chongwen Pavilion for Li Chenggan in the East Palace, and he was not afraid that Chenggan might take this opportunity to cultivate private forces that threatened the emperor's position. In Zhenguan 15, in order to consolidate his position as a dry prince, Emperor Taizong ordered officials above the third class to serve in the East Palace, so as to ensure the full support of important officials from the DPRK and China to the prince. In Zhenguan 16, Emperor Taizong issued an imperial edict, and there was no upper limit for the crown prince to use treasures. But at this time, with the growth of age, Li Chenggan suffered from foot disease and became rebellious. But he was dissatisfied with his father because of something, dared to be willful and bold, and did not go to court for several months. However, Emperor Taizong did not criticize and criticize this, but also specially appointed Wei Zhi as the surname of the prince, in order to tell everyone that he would never abolish the prince.
Even if Li Chenggan later committed this heinous crime of rebellion, Emperor Taizong didn't want to kill this son, and no one dared to say that the prince's rebellion should be beheaded according to law. Finally, the general manager came to give advice and said, "Your Majesty is a loving father, and the prince can use it all his life." This is exactly what Emperor Taizong wanted. In the end, all the accomplices in the rebellion were sentenced to death, but Li Chenggan, as the principal offender, saved his life and only abolished the death penalty for Shu Ren. Therefore, Lai Ji was valued by Emperor Taizong, and his official position was constantly promoted. He was soon admitted to the Foreign Minister, and the following year he was promoted to Mr. Sheren, a Chinese calligrapher, and co-wrote The Book of Jin with Ling Hudefen and others.
Although Li Chenggan was abolished, for the sake of his son's future safety, Emperor Taizong still took "Lee Tae, Cheng Gan and Wang Jin" as the foundation. On the grounds of the safety of King Jin and Taigong Cheng Gan, Li Zhi, a young but gentle man, was decisively appointed as the Prince, so that his beloved three sons Cheng Gan, Li Zhi could be kept at the same time.
Zhenguan 18 12, Li Chenggan died of illness, so Emperor Taizong abolished the dynasty and was buried as a national ceremony. In the 27th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chenggan's grandson Li became the left image of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin's grandfather's rebellion was abolished, and his father Li Xiang was exiled by Wuhou, so he requested to be buried in Zhaoling. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty posthumously awarded Li Chenggan as the king of Hengshan and the viceroy of Jingzhou, saying that he was buried with Zhaoling. Li Xiang, the father of Li, was posthumously awarded as the secretariat of Yuezhou and lord protector, while his uncle and deceased brother were also "praised" and "praised books and articles, according to the city, sighing in the street".
Decades later, Li Chenggan finally returned to his parents' side. From then on, he was buried in Zhaoling and stayed with his parents forever.
Yu Lin Rainbow:
Yang Fei, the biological mother, was the worst of the four sons of Emperor Taizong/Kloc-0.
Li Ke was not only spoiled all his life, but also made small mistakes such as stepping on crops and gambling. He was deprived of the title of viceroy twice in a row, and 600 households were deprived one after another, leaving only 200 households with real seals. For this reason, Li Ke was scolded by Emperor Taizong, and even compared to Liu Dan, the prince of Yan (the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who hated his guts because he couldn't behave himself). These mistakes and punishments committed by Li Ke are recorded in history books and Li Ke's own epitaph, which confirm each other.
In May of the second year of Zhenguan, Li Ke and Lee Tae were blocked at the same time. Li Ke was made the governor of Yizhou, and the fief was only eight states. Li Tai was appointed as the secretariat of Yangzhou and Yuezhou, with fiefs in as many as 22 states. Moreover, Li Ke was appointed as the viceroy, but the viceroy (according to Tang records, the viceroy of Yizhou was renamed as "Da" on February 20, the second year of Zhenguan, and it was not until the second year of Longshuo that it was upgraded from viceroy to viceroy). So although Li Ke and Lee Tae were blocked at the same time, Li Ke's viceroy was not only much smaller than Li Tai, but even less fief than Lee Tae.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ke went to his fief, and Emperor Taizong said to him, "Don't you want to see each other often on a blind date?" ? But things at home are special, so we need to make a screen. It can be seen that Wang Zuo made it because of "special family affairs" and also to reject the "coveted heart" of the princes. However, these high-sounding words are actually more suitable for the prince's mother and brother Lee Tae than the concubine Li Ke. After all, as the prince's mother and brother, Lee Tae is the biggest threat to Chu. However, in the face of "family affairs", Emperor Taizong not only refused to let Lee Tae be a vassal, but even wanted him to move into the Wude Hall. Not to mention Li Zhi, Emperor Taizong always took this son with him personally, and never mentioned anything about the Francisco. Zhenguan 16 even sent him to the imperial court to participate in politics, but it happened that Li Ke, who was not a threat, was sent to the fief.
Emperor Taizong once wrote a letter to Li Ke, in which he said, "You have made a knee injury, and you feel sad for what you have done. If you want to protect treasures, you are afraid of arrogance. " However, when Mrs. Tang said to Li Ke, "If you want to keep your treasure, you must be afraid of arrogance." -When she refused to give him more property on the grounds of avoiding Li Ke becoming arrogant, she turned to face Li Chenggan and Li Taishi, but it was the opposite attitude. Emperor Taizong not only rewarded Li Taishi with "ten thousand Thai things", but also gave Lee Tae "more things than the crown prince" every month, and even directly lifted the restrictions on Li Chenggan's use of the treasury.
Historians say that Li Ke has literary talent, but being good at riding and shooting is only the most basic accomplishment of a military aristocrat in Guanlongli. In the Tang dynasty, even the harem talents could accompany the emperor to ride and shoot. Although Li Ke rode and shot well, there was no military merit or outstanding deeds to prove it. Li Ke's literary talent is also not recorded, and other governors have recorded how many works are good at what kind of calligraphy. Only Li Ke's "literary talent" has disappeared from the most common calligraphy expertise of Li Tang royal family members, while Hanwang Li Yuanchang, who was also punished for rebellion, is famous for his calligraphy, painting and shooting.
Yuan Gui, a bookstore: "Emperor Gao of Tang Dynasty, alert and brave, riding and shooting, is quite involved in literature and history, and can also run official books." Records of Famous Paintings in the Tang Dynasty: "Hanwang Yuanchang was good at drawing horses, and his brushwork was wonderful, which was not seen by later generations. Painting eagles, pheasants and rabbits to see the world, the master sighs. " "Hokkekyo to be recorded": "Hanwang childhood, complacency. Inheritance, dedication and law-abiding. " "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties": "The posture of heaven and man is full of comprehensive skills and quite charming. Natural transcendence, deep worship pavilion, rare relics. Above the top grade. "
A handsome prince who specializes in classics, is good at music, is exquisite in painting and looks like a hunter will stand upright in the eyes of future generations. In contrast, Li Ke's talent is not reflected in history books or epitaphs.
Although Emperor Taizong once had the idea of changing Li Ke into a prince, it was not after Li Zhi became a prince that it took more than seven months to put it forward. Moreover, Emperor Taizong only said something to the most unlikely person, Sun Chang Wuji, which was never mentioned after being refuted. Even Li Ke, who failed in nomination, did not have any protective measures.
Others tried to attribute Li Ke's failure to become emperor to his lineage of the previous dynasty, but this statement was completely nonsense. After all, Li Ke's lineage in the two dynasties is not unprecedented, and there are also many heirs to the throne in history. For example, Taizi Stone of Shi Hu in the post-Zhao Dynasty, whose biological mother is Princess Anding in the former Zhao Dynasty; For example, the biological mother of Yu Wenjue in Ming Di in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was Princess Fengyi in the Northern Wei Dynasty; Even Prince Yang Zhao of Yang Di, Yang Zhao, is also the mother of Xiao Huanghou, the daughter of Emperor Xiliang Xiaoming.
Besides, if the lineage of the former dynasty is really a problem and a taboo, then why did Emperor Taizong make Li Ke a prince when he knew that he had the lineage of the Sui Dynasty? Why didn't Sun Chang Wuji use this reason to oppose Li Ke of Emperor Taizong? Therefore, Li Ke has nothing to do with storage, and his biological mother Yang Fei is the daughter of Emperor Yang Di, but because Li Ke and Yang Fei are not allowed to spoil Emperor Taizong.
In the first year of Yonghui, Li Ke, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was established as the third official with his eldest son. In the fourth year of Yonghui, Li Ke and Li Mou were killed.
During the Dragon-Dragon Period, it was not uncommon for Tang Zhongzong to posthumously give Li Ke to the imperial clan of Li Tang. As for whether Li Ke has restored the title of Prince Zhengyi, there is no record in Old Tang Shu and New Tang Shu, and because Li and others who conspired together have a clear record of "restoring rank", but Li Ke did not mention it at all, so Ouyang Xiu only said Li Ke in New Tang Shu.
Wang Pu Lee Tae:
Mother, eldest grandson, is the favorite son of Emperor Taizong, and all kinds of favored deeds abound in history books.
In the third year of Wude, Li Taigang was named Yidu King at birth, and was named Wang Wei and Yahweh the following year. In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Tai changed to the King of Yue, making it the secretariat of Yangzhou and Yuezhou, and fiefdoms of 22 states. In addition to the title of viceroy, Lee Tae is also the general of Yongzhou Mu and Zuo Wuhou (this is a unique favor of Lee Tae during the Zhenguan period. Apart from Lee Tae, only Li Zhiyou has such treatment-Li Zhi is also the general of You Wuhou in addition to the title of viceroy).
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, the same age as Lee Tae, went to the fief as usual, but Emperor Taizong not only refused to let Lee Tae go to the fief for a long time, but even ordered Lee Tae to move into the Wude Hall, which was stopped by Wei Zhi. However, all kinds of outrageous actions made by Emperor Taizong because he loved his son did not stop there because of the strong exhortation of ministers.
On one occasion, Lee Tae complained to his father that in North Korea, ministers who were above doctrine did not respect themselves enough. As a result, as soon as Emperor Taizong heard that his beloved son had been wronged, he flew into a rage without saying anything, and immediately called the ministers into the palace to question them severely. Fang and others were too scared to speak, only one person argued. Finally, Emperor Taizong admitted that he had forgotten the public because of his private love for Lee Tae. However, later ministers could do nothing about how to love this robin.
According to historical records, Lee Tae was "paunchy". However, when Emperor Taizong saw his son's chubby appearance, he was not worried that being too fat would affect his figure. Instead, he felt that it would be very hard for his son to go to Hajj in this way, so he was specially allowed to go to Hajj in a small sedan chair in distress. Because he loved literature, Emperor Taizong ordered the establishment of a literature museum in Wei and asked him to invite a bachelor. As for the famous Furong Garden, with Luoyang as its east capital, it occupies a square mansion in Huiji Square, which was given to his precious son by Emperor Taizong, and the Weiwangchi and Weiwangdi built by Lee Tae in Luoyang's capital are therefore famous all over the world.
14, Emperor Taizong of Zhenguan inspected Lee Tae's mansion in Yankangfang, Chang 'an, and thus pardoned the criminals who were under the death penalty in Yongzheng and Chang 'an, exempted the people in Yankangfang from one year's rent, and rewarded Wei officials and the old people living in the same square with many things. Speaking of this mansion in Lee Tae, before it was officially moved in, it was persuaded by Cen Wenben. However, Emperor Taizong gave Cen Wenben a compliment, but he didn't want to stop Lee Tae's behavior.
In Zhenguan 15, Emperor Taizong was very happy to complete the manuscript of the Book of Brackets edited by Lee Tae. As a result, he not only collected books from the Royal Library, but also gave Lee Tae many rewards one after another-first, "ten thousand things", and then gave a lot of property every month, even exceeding the specifications of the prince, which led Chu Suiliang to make suggestions. As a result, Emperor Taizong readily agreed with him, but instead of cutting Lee Tae's expenditure, he cancelled the prince's expenditure restriction, which was tantamount to maintaining Lee Tae's excess expenditure in disguise.
Emperor Taizong not only doted on Lee Tae in every way, but also often took him with him without saying anything. Even if he didn't see him for a day, he would send his own white stork named "General" to deliver letters. The swan flew back and forth several times a day. Even Lee Tae's eldest son was "especially loved by Emperor Taizong" because of his father. At the age of four, he was taken to the palace and given the name "Xin".
In the sixth year of Zhenguan (17), Prince Li Chenggan was abolished, and Lee Tae took the opportunity to spoil his father, claiming that he would kill his son a hundred years later and pass the throne to his younger brother Li Zhi. As soon as Emperor Taizong saw the chubby bluebird thrown into his arms, his heart melted at once. Hearing such a promise, he immediately promised to make him a prince. However, such a lie was mercilessly exposed by Chu Suiliang. Emperor Taizong calmed down and realized that it was impossible to kill his son and pass on his younger brother. So in order to ensure that his three beloved sons can survive at the same time, he decided to make Li Zhi the prince.
Although he had to be reprimanded, Emperor Taizong still said in the imperial edict: "Mrs. Wang is my beloved son, and I really treat this son. The child was very clever when he was a child and liked literature very much. My love for him is so unusual ... "In less than four years after being demoted, Emperor Taizong re-established him as King Pu. Moreover, Emperor Taizong took Lee Tae's watch and said to the ministers around him, "You know how much I miss him because of his beautiful Thai. But they can only reluctantly give up what they love, which is also the way to save their three brothers. "
In the third year of Yonghui, Lee Tae died. I am very saddened by this, especially with the most solemn funeral specifications-not only posthumously given to Qiu and Mu, but also retired from the DPRK for this purpose, and ordered "Ban Jian, Yu Bao advocated, 3,000 things, 3,000 stones of rice valley, secrets of the East Garden, given by the funeral officials, and everything was generous."
Lee Tae himself is brilliant, and his history shows that he is "extremely clever", because he is not only very proficient in literature, but also has as many books as the Royal Library, and he also wrote excellent running script and cursive script, and he is quite good at appreciating calligraphy and painting. According to Zhang Yanyuan's "Famous Paintings of the Tang Dynasty", Li Taihou has two seals for appreciating calligraphy and painting, named "Gui" and "Yi", and the "Eight Horses" were handed down because of Li Taihou.
Lee Tae's "Kuozhi Zhi" has a wide range of materials, and has preserved many precious materials in the geography books of the Six Dynasties, which has had a far-reaching impact on later generations, and the new geography book genre created by him has also pioneered the great geography style of the Tang and Song Dynasties. After Lee Tae's death, he left 20 volumes of collected works, but unfortunately these collected works have been lost so far.
Shu Ren Li You:
Birth mother Yin Fei. Li You likes hanging out with a group of little people and often hunts excessively. Because of Li You's poor performance, Emperor Taizong thought Xue Dading, the chief historian of Qi State, was difficult to teach, so he appointed Quan Wanji as the new chief historian of Qi State.
In Zhenguan 10, Li You changed his country name to King Qi, and was provoked by his uncle Yin Hongzhi (who was the head of the uptown under Zheng Qi) to recruit brave men to rebel privately. However, seeing that Li You didn't think about repentance, Emperor Taizong wrote several letters blaming Li You. Quan Wanji was afraid that he would be implicated and punished like Xue Dading, so he took the initiative to go to Beijing to assure Emperor Taizong that Li You would definitely change. As a result, Li You thought that only he was reprimanded and was extremely dissatisfied with Quan Wanji. Quan Wanji, on the other hand, is "impatient" and only knows to defend himself blindly. Li You is not allowed to do this or that, which makes Li You very angry and even wants to kill him. However, the Chronicle of the Whole Thousand Years got wind of it first, putting all those who tried to murder themselves in prison and reporting the matter to the court. Finally, Emperor Taizong had Li You and Quan Wanji brought back to Beijing, and Quan Wanji first served as an imperial edict, but Li You was shot dead halfway.
After Li You shot his long history, he simply went to war and rebelled directly, but the soldiers in Qingzhou and Zizhou under his rule did not listen to his orders. Soldier Cao Du Hangmin called on everyone to catch Li You, but the soldiers responded one after another. So Du Hangmin led the troops around Li You and others, piled firewood and prepared to light it. Li You had to surrender easily, and all his followers were killed. Li You was sent back to Beijing and sentenced to death, and the death penalty was abolished for Shu Ren, and Qi was also removed.
Shu Wang Li Cheng:
Yang Fei, the biological mother, was the only son of Emperor Taizong 14 who was called an animal.
In Zhenguan 10, Li Cheng changed his country name to Shu Wang and became the secretariat of Yizhou. Maybe Sung Jae Lee didn't perform well before becoming a vassal, and he didn't perform well after becoming a vassal, so it was not until Zhenguan 13 that Li Chengcai got the 800 real seals that the prince should have, which was three years later than other princes who were vassals together.
However, Li Cheng did not learn from it. He often beat the county magistrate in the fief for no reason, and because of excessive hunting and trampling on crops, local people complained. His subordinate Yang Dao is trying to stop him. As a result, Li Cheng pulled him off his horse and gave him a good beating. After hearing what Li Cheng had done wrong, Emperor Taizong once said angrily: "Even animals can be made to obey people as long as they are tamed well; Even iron stone can be made into useful things as long as it is well refined. Only people like Li Cheng are worse than animals and have a heart of stone! "Although half of Li Cheng's fiefs, Wang Fu, an official in the middle of Shu, and 400 real seals were all cut off, he was demoted to Guo Secretariat. Within a few months of taking office, Julian Waghann Gewenda in the middle of Shu was dismissed.
Less than a year after Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, Li Kui was impeached by Li Ganyou, a physician, because he acted rashly. Therefore, he said emotionally to uncle Li and others: "The king of Shu hunted indiscriminately and invaded people's livelihood, and his county magistrate and standard army were often punished without guilt. He is happy when others flatter him, and he is angry when others don't follow his wishes. How can such a person, as the governor of a state, govern the people? ..... Kun Li is now impeached by the Ministry of Justice, and I am really ashamed. " Therefore, Li Zhi called Yang Quandao, who strongly remonstrated with Li Kui, appointed him as a captain of Kuang Daofu and rewarded him. At the same time, Li Kui was demoted to Huangzhou Secretariat.
In the fourth year of Yonghui, Li was renamed Shu Ren due to Li Ke's rebellion, and later Fuling Wang. But he has never held any official position, and he is absolutely popular in Bazhou where Li Cheng is located. After all, Li Cheng was demoted anyway before, and he has always served as a state magistrate. Now that Li Cheng has lost the title of secretariat, Bazhou people no longer have to worry that their crops are always trampled on for no reason, and Bazhou officials don't always have to worry that they will be beaten for no reason.
After two years of dry sealing, Li Cheng died, and Xianheng was allowed to be buried with Zhaoling in the early years. The royal family in Li Tang is also extremely tolerant of this King Shu, who is known as the emperor's grandson.
Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong:
Mother, eldest grandson, is the favorite son of Emperor Taizong and the only son raised by Emperor Taizong himself.
As soon as Li Zhi was born, Emperor Taizong ordered everyone born on this day to collect food, and then gave a big banquet to give ministers more than five items. It is even said that when Li Zhi was born three days later, during the "Wash Three Dynasties", the eldest grandson gave his youngest son the Jade Dragon Son and a baby full of pearls that her husband got from Jin Yanggong. Since then, this jade dragon, which is "not a few inches wide, gentle and exquisite, and not owned by the world", has become the mascot of the Tang Dynasty and has been handed down from generation to generation by emperors.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi was appointed King of Jin, and in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong gave his youngest son, Li Tang, the land of Longxing and the state of Taiyuan. Li Zhi also failed to live up to his father's love. He has been very clever since he was a child, and he is also very filial to his parents. Emperor Taizong once inspected his understanding of the Book of Filial Piety, and Li Zhi was very responsive. Emperor Taizong was very happy when he heard about it.
At the end of June in the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson died in Li Zhengtang, and Li Zhi, who was only seven years old, lost his mother. Fortunately, Emperor Taizong made up for his beloved little son with double fatherly love. He didn't let Li Zhi leave the palace or live alone somewhere in the palace because of his wife's death, but left Li Zhi's brother and sister in his bedroom to take care of them, so he left this record in Tang Yaohui: "Jin Wang and jinyang princess were young. Chu Suiliang himself said, "However, the King of Jin was raised by Your Majesty himself. As for the establishment, he is deeply benevolent and partial to love. "Throughout the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi was the only prince raised by the emperor himself. What a deep feeling and honor!
However, Emperor Taizong's preference for this little son did not stop there. In the case that Li Zhi had already led the governor of Bing from afar, Emperor Taizong made him the right general. In Zhenguan 16, Li Zhi even went to the imperial court to participate in politics without his own fief. In this regard, the history books use the word "special affection" to describe the love of Emperor Taizong for Li Zhi.
Zhenguan 17 Prince Li Chenggan was abolished. In order to keep his beloved three sons Cheng Gan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi at the same time, Emperor Taizong decisively appointed Li Zhi as the Prince. After Li Zhi was made a prince, Emperor Taizong loved Li Zhi as always, even more. Li Zhi's eldest son, Jong Li, was born. Although he was only a concubine, Emperor Taizong was still very happy. Not only did he "dance and drink" and "leave the sky" at the banquet, but he also rebelled against the system that the emperor's grandson could only seal the county king and made an exception by conferring Jong Li as the prince.
Emperor Taizong always put his precious son on the side of his bedroom. Although Li Zhi had a king's residence outside the palace, even after Li Zhi was made a prince, Emperor Taizong did not let him live in the palace or in the East Palace. It was not until Zhenguan 18 that Liu Yue wrote a letter that Emperor Taizong asked Liu Yue and Cen Wenben to take turns to go to the East Palace with Ma Zhou every day to talk to the Crown Prince. As a result, the good times did not last long, and Emperor Taizong brought his son back to him. After twenty years of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but write a letter. Emperor Taizong agreed to let Li Zhi live in the East Palace half the time every month and spend half the time with him.
Zhenguan 19 Emperor Taizong personally conquered North Korea, and Li Zhi stayed as the Prince. Li Zhi, who grew up with his father day and night, was very sad. After crying for several days, Emperor Taizong said to him, "You have been by my side since childhood, like a baby. You can take the opportunity to exercise this time. Why are you crying? " Li Zhi replied, "My mother died when I was seven years old. You always took me with you, father, and we never separated. I can't help but feel sad when I think of our separation. " Emperor Taizong also burst into tears when he heard the news. So in order to know each other's situation in time, Emperor Taizong initiated the system of flying watches and playing things, and Li Zhi also asked his father to reply immediately after receiving the letter.
And just before Emperor Taizong's personal expedition to North Korea, Li Zhi was sent all the way to Dingzhou. Until he couldn't move any more, in the face of his reluctant son, Emperor Taizong pointed to his clothes and said, "I will never change this dress again until our father and son meet again." Therefore, this dress of Emperor Taizong is so dirty and torn that even ministers can't stand it. He was advised to change it, but he refused to agree. Later, Emperor Taizong heard that Li Zhi was on his way to meet him, so he couldn't wait to lead 3000 guards into Lin Yuguan first. On the way, he happened to meet Li Zhi. Until now, Li Zhijin presented new clothes, and Emperor Taizong put on worn-out robes.
When Emperor Taizong came back from his expedition to Liao, he planned to take Li Zhi with him. As a result, Zhang Xingcheng said, "I heard that the Crown Prince will accompany your majesty to Lingzhou, but I think it is better to let the Crown Prince stay to supervise the country, receive hundreds of officials to discuss the important affairs of the court and be familiar with the affairs of the court. This will not only stabilize the capital, but also show the virtues of the prince to all parties. " Emperor Taizong thought what he said was reasonable, so he was named Dr. Guanglu of Yin Qing from the third grade.
In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong died, and Li Zhi succeeded to the throne as Emperor Gaozong. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he initiated the rule of Yonghui, which is known as the legacy of Zhenguan in history. During his 34 years in power, the people's living standards have been continuously improved and the population has continued to grow. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was once expanded to the greatest extent, which not only achieved fruitful results in the use of troops in the northwest and Haidong, but also basically quelled the Turkic rebellion. Even if the war against Tubo failed, it basically stabilized the situation against Tubo in the later period.
As for the so-called problem that Li Zhi was dominated by the marquis of Wu in his later years, it is actually the opposite of the imaginary scene in which Tang Gaozong obeyed the marquis of Wu. Everywhere in the history books, Wu Hou tried to please Tang Gaozong and carefully read Tang Gaozong's mind.
It was learned that Tang Gaozong was bent on carrying forward the gift of mother's eldest grandson to kiss silkworms, and Wuhou's times of kissing silkworms were the highest in the Tang Dynasty. Knowing that her husband advocates frugality, Wuhou took the initiative to change the thirteen pleats on the queen's skirt into seven. Knowing that her husband hates consorts, Wuhou wrote an article "Internal Training" when he was in Zhaoyi. After becoming a queen, he set a "consorts discipline" and set an example. When he was alive, the Wu family disappeared in the court. Until his death, the marquis of Wu had the opportunity to put all the Wu family in an important position in the court.
Even if you look through the history books, you can't see which prime minister was appointed by Wuhou, but what you can see is the people who supported Wu Zetian in those days. Except Xu, none of them came to a good end, but those who were repeatedly regarded as a thorn in the side of Wu Hou were favored by others.
For example, Wu Hou hated the Empress and Xiao Shufei so much that they had to be killed one by one. After death, I don't have to mention all kinds of humiliation to my daughter's family, but I can't take away the queen's younger brother Fangyi Wang. Is Wu Hou generous? However, the history books clearly recorded her story about Fangyi Wang's "wanting to get rid of the crime, but not". However, when Fangyi Wang ascended the throne of the emperor, what could the marquis of Wu do but watch?
Another example is Wuji's obstruction of Wu and the hatred of Wu Hou. Although Wuji finally lost power, less than four years later, Wuji's first grandson often returned to Beijing to be an official and went to the fifth grade. More ironically, less than a month after Wuhou called her "Tianhou", Tang Gaozong wrote to restore Sun Chang Wuji's official title, buried with Zhaoling, and ordered his great-grandson to attack Zhao Guogong. At this time, where is the military queen who is in charge of state affairs?
For another example, when Li Yifu, Yuan and Cui, who made great contributions to supporting Wu Zetian, were exiled, what did the ruling Wu Zetian do? Why can't I wait until after Tang Gaozong's death to remember that these people "have the merit of Yonghui Hui Zan", and that's why I'm chasing after them?
If Wu Hou really has such a big influence, it is really a matter of life and death to seize power, then it is easy to get rid of Chang Sun Yan and promote Li Yifu and Yolanda. However, throughout the history books, when Tang Gaozong speaks, he can't see the figure of Wuhou. Only when Tang Gaozong left, Wu Hou dared to clean up those who once hated him and sealed those who had been kind to him. Therefore, marquis Wu can only wait until seven years after Tang Gaozong's death, and make use of his status as queen mother, struggling step by step, before he can sit on the throne of the queen.
Wang Cao Li Ming:
Wang Yang, the biological mother, was made Queen Cao in Zhenguan on 2 1 and was adopted as the heir of Wang Li Yuanji.
Li Ming is good at calligraphy, and his works are sketched, but he can't follow the rules. When he was appointed as the secretariat, Chang Shi Kong Zhen Jing often remonstrated, but Li Ming said impatiently, "I am the younger brother of the son of heaven today, can I still lose my status as a prince?" Kong Zhen replied: "You can't rely on it. Your majesty, if you don't obey the orders of the state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain today's brilliant position. Can't you see the lesson of Huainan Chang? " Li is very dissatisfied with it. Li Ming's men invaded and plundered the people, and Kong Zhen arrested them and killed them with a stick.
Later, during the Yonglong period, Li Ming made friends with Li Xian, the prince of Zhang Huai, and was also demoted to the king of Lingling after Li Xian abolished Shu Ren. Li Ming finally came to his senses and said, "I regret that I didn't listen to Kong Zhen and ended up like this!" Later, Xie You, the former governor of Qianzhou, forced Li Ming to commit suicide. When Tang Gaozong found out, he removed all the officials in Ganzhou. In the first year of Jing Yun, Tang Ruizong buried Li Ming in Zhaoling.
