Flowers bloomed and fell in years gone by. From the Sui to the Tang dynasty, hers was not a long life: thirty-eight years. Her father died when she was young, leaving her and her brother to depend on each other. When she was older, she married the Prince of Qin and took charge of his household. She watched him weather storms and survive battles, bringing home one woman after another. Then came the brothers' feud, the political turmoil of the Wude era, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He became the supreme emperor, and she became the most favored woman in the world, mother of the empire.
She had thought they would love and trust each other, understand one another, and stay by each other's side for life. But in the end, Chengqian, the child who had been the pride of the emperor, was their eldest son. After she was gone, he and his father came into conflict, and he exiled himself. He died in a foreign land while still young. His elder brother had spent his whole life planning for him, yet ultimately died at the hands of her youngest son. Even his late father, famed throughout the world for “killing two birds with one arrow,” was denied peace: the ancestral temple was destroyed. And his Lizi, Mingda, Xincheng, and Chengyang all endured troubled lives. Where was the happiness in any of it?
She had spent her whole life enduring and fulfilling her duties, only to meet such an end. Was that truly what she wanted?
Reborn, will she make everything happen differently this time?
Core message: After weathering the storm, you will eventually see the rainbow.
How many chapters are left to write about Zheng Guanyin? I jumped right over. Do you want to beautify Li Jiancheng, Zheng Guanyin and his wife, or do you want to vilify them? The previous chapter describes how kind Zheng Guanyin is to Li Er Changsun and his wife, but this chapter writes about Zheng Guanyin like an innocent child who doesn't care about worldly affairs. If Li Er loses, will Li Jiancheng give Li Er's family a good ending? It was originally a life-and-death struggle, but this plausibility was as if the eldest grandson had wronged Li Jiancheng and his family. It's funny to watch.
In the text, some words are repeated too many times. How wonderful it would be if Queen Changsun lived ten more years! A prince who lost his mother, how important the mother is behind his father. Li Shimin, an instant emperor, has a bad temper. The queen is a flexible force. In the second year after the queen's death, the emperor was not so clear-minded. Isn't it the reason for losing the Changsun Queen? There is no other woman who can have such a huge role as the Changsun Queen. She can intervene and adjust Li Shimin's work. It is Li Shimin's greatest personal loss. Later, politics will not be so clear.
There are many jokes about Li Shimin's beloved concubine Yang Fei, which are almost all nonsense. The titles of women in the harem should be discussed between the couple, not just the emperor's opinion alone. The so-called true love means that they gave birth to two children for Li Shimin in their lifetime. Can it be compared with the Queen who gave birth to seven children? The queen was still giving birth until the end! There are no other records in history. Li Ke and Li Shimin had no real intention to change the establishment. They just casually talked to their eldest grandson and had ulterior motives. He only had three legitimate children in his eyes. In the later period, when he called Princess Qi's true love, Li Shimin never gave her a title. She had always been living in the palace with an unfair reputation. How could he suddenly want to make her a queen? This record was not found in the records at that time. Wei Zheng never said this at all. It was only said four hundred years later when the Song Dynasty revised the old Tang books that it was said that it is not credible at all. Li Shimin thought it was too much trouble not to give her even the official title of queen. Can he give her the queen title? The so-called Concubine Yang, make her the queen? Doesn't Li Shimin consider three legitimate sons? Making her the queen, what do the three legitimate sons say, adding a new queen and two sons, artificially creating risks and conflicts in seizing the legitimate throne, I feel that these are not credible. Li Shimin may say it casually, but he does not really intend to do it. The emperor really intends to think that way, not just say it casually, and there will be many actions in the follow-up. Maybe the emperor was just having a frank chat. Not really doing it!
It must be my mother who faces Cheng Qian
I feel like I always feel wronged by Qian Qian, and Er Feng is a little too biased towards Qing Que.
Chengqian feels so wronged.
[Come on] [Come on] Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is Li Yuan's cousin, and Queen Dugu is Li Yuan's aunt, not Li Shimin's [rose]
I remember records that the concubines in the harem could have at most two children, including the four concubines. These all followed Li Shimin in his early years and should all be fertile. However, according to records, including the princess, they all had two children. The four concubines all have names and surnames, and the children they gave birth to are recorded. The queen gave birth to seven children in her life. It was not because she was physically ill, but there should be more. I feel that in the later period, Li Shimin probably didn't visit them much. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be two.
If Empress Changsun had lived a few more years, everything would have been different
Historical records indicate that Li Shimin's most cherished woman was the queen. His feelings towards concubines are very ordinary. There is no record of the mothers of the twenty or so princesses, they are all written about being unpopular. I feel that the blessing of other women is firstly the requirement of the ancient feudal dynasty to reproduce offspring, and secondly the physiological needs of men. It should be that the queen was in poor health and had other women sleeping with her. But there is one thing: Li Shimin probably doesn't have much communication with other women. He only sleeps at night and is not together during the day, so he doesn't have much communication. According to various records, Li Shimin cherished his legitimate son and daughter the most. Just because of the queen's child. It feels like the relationship between the two gets better as time goes by. The youngest princess is the queen, and no other woman gives birth. In the last few years, there were basically no other concubines. What happened to the last prince and his sister-in-law? It's hard to tell the inside story. Li Shimin came to visit the queen when she was ill, and it was his sister-in-law who did it intentionally. If Li Shimin killed her previous child, would she not feel resentful? Her child was born the year after the queen's death. When the eldest grandson, the queen, passed away, Li Shimin was devastated and his body collapsed. No more children were born from then on. Including Xu Hui and Wu Jingong behind, they are both teenage girls, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to have much affection for them. The concubine Xu Hui was recorded because of her literary talent and her ability to submit letters to receive advice like a queen. She felt that Li Shimin appreciated her talent more than the love between other men and women.
