Brief introduction of queen Wang

Queen Wang (628? ——655), a native of Qixian County, Bing County (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province), the daughter of Wang Renyou of Luoshanling and the mother of Liu. Queen Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong.

Wang was born into a noble family, and his grandmother was his sister princess royal. When Li Zhi was crowned King of Jin, she was Princess of Jin, about 642 AD, Li Zhinian 15 years old, and Wang Yue 15 years old. In 643 AD, he became a prince and Wang was made a crown princess. In 649, Emperor Taizong died, and Li Zhi succeeded to the throne and made the king queen.

The queen had no children, only the maid-in-waiting Liu gave birth to the prince and the prince Li. Liu's position is very low and disliked, while Xiao's position is very high and disliked. After some weighing, the Queen plans to accept Jong Li as her adopted son and make her a prince, so as to consolidate her position. I want to make Li a prince and increase my political capital for my competition. The king was afraid of Xiao's rivalry for favor, and knowing that it was the monk's martial charm, he secretly ordered Wu Shi to store his hair and called the palace to be. This Wu Mei is the later Wu Zetian.

After Wu entered the palace, he was favored and fell out of favor. The queen thinks that her purpose has been achieved. She really didn't expect that Wu Shi was the queen's bigger competitor. First of all, the witch case forced the abolition of the king, which was later stopped by Wuji and Chu Suiliang. In 655 (the sixth year of Yonghui), the queen was accused of falsely killing Wu's youngest daughter, Wang's queen and Xiao's concubine were abolished, and they were all relegated to the cold palace. Wu Shi still didn't feel wronged, so he renamed Wang Python and Xiao Xiao.

Soon, the emperor remembered his old relationship with Wang and Xiao, passed by the place where he was imprisoned and found a small hole for transporting food. There was no one to see, so he shouted, "Are the queen and Shu Fei safe?" Wang sobbed and replied, "I have committed a crime and abandoned myself as a maid-in-waiting." How can I be called the queen? " I only suggested to Emperor Gaozong that this cold palace be turned into a "warm courtyard". (Biography of Empresses in the Old Tang Dynasty) Wu was furious when he learned that. He ordered Wang and Xiao to get 100 sticks each, cut off their hands and feet, and soak them in wine, which is called "bone drunkenness". A few days later, Wang was tortured to death at the age of 28. History calls it "waste".
