*Based on historical data, restore the real Empress Zhenguan in history*
In the spring of the ninth year of Daye, the 13-year-old Guanyin maid married into the Duke of Tang Dynasty and became the wife of the second son Li Shimin.
That year, he was still a high-spirited young man, and she was just a newly married girl in Chang'an City.
It was a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the red candles were swaying.
When she looked at the young man beside the couch, she probably would not have thought that she would accompany him through the wars of the troubled times and watch him go from being the King of Qin to the Ninth Five-Year Plan; she would also witness with her own eyes the bloody color of the Xuanwu Sect, the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and witness him becoming the "Emperor Taizong" in the mouth of future generations.
Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, she conspired with Fang Xuanling and other officials of the Qin Prince's Palace to plan major events; on the day of the incident, she personally comforted the soldiers and accompanied him through the most dangerous night.
On the thirteenth day after he ascended the throne, the Turks invaded the country, but he still held a grand ceremony for her.
She never considered herself a queen.
In front of him, she was always just his wife.
When he was sixteen, he said to her:
"Guanyin Maid, I will protect you from now on."
When she was thirty-six years old, she said to him:
"Erlang, don't mess up the world with women."
She assisted the king, raised her children, guarded the harem carefully, and never relied on favors to become arrogant.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Queen Changsun died in the Lizheng Hall at the age of thirty-six.
She died before him.
At the age of thirteen, she married him.
At the age of thirty-six, she left him.
For the next thirteen years, he alone guarded the world, the mountains and rivers remained the same, and the prosperous age remained the same.
But no one stood by his side and called him "Erlang".
He gave her the posthumous title of "Wende", built temples, statues, and monuments for her, and completed her unfinished business one by one.
She was buried in Zhaoling.
Thirteen years later, he was also buried here, breaking the old tradition of emperors and empresses in different acupoints and being buried with her.
It was as if fate had already written the reincarnation of this life. He had been in power for twenty-three years, and they had been together for twenty-three years.
She is his only good assistant.
He is her lifelong lover.
Intention: There is a kind of deep love in this world, which is not limited to the love between husband and wife, but also involves the family, country and the world - when you are by my side, I become a better king; after you leave, I will protect this country that you and I have worked together for you. History books called her "the virtuous queen of the ages", but he called her "the maidservant of Guanyin" all her life.
