Wang Cao Li Ming:
The mother's nest pricks Princess Yang. Yang is the wife of Li Yuanji, the king of nesting, so she doesn't belong to the harem of Emperor Taizong, because Yang has never been conferred by Emperor Taizong from beginning to end, and her title has been changing with the title of her husband Li Yuanji.
An online article once asserted that Emperor Taizong launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion for the sake of consorts, but this conclusion is sheer nonsense. Because according to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Yang, as a criminal's family, was to be buried as a maid. After Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, was defeated and killed, his concubines disappeared into the palace. Shangguan Waner was also killed by her grandfather Shangguan Yi and her father Shangguan Tingzhi, and was assigned to the court with her mother in her childhood. Because my father didn't enter the palace, Yang won't enter the palace after Li Yuanji's death. It's completely according to the rules.
It is also said that Emperor Taizong liked the bird's nest princess Yang very much, and even thought about making this Yang the queen after the death of his eldest grandson. However, to what extent can Emperor Taizong dote on Princess Chao? Let's look at the following analysis. According to "The History of the New Tang Dynasty as a Mirror", after the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong tried to make Yang the queen, but was discouraged because "Your Majesty can't win by winning". It means that your reputation will be damaged by Yang's remarriage. But in fact, the national style of the Tang Dynasty was always open, and Wei Guifei entered the palace as a widow. Her ex-husband was not only the son of an important official in the Sui Dynasty, but also gave birth to a daughter with her ex-husband. Not to mention Yang Guifei's more shocking identity in the future. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that Yang Can does not defend its reputation.
More carefully, we can find that during the whole Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong never even gave the young man any title of concubine. Instead, he made Li Yuanji the queen of the nest and called her the princess of the nest. If Yang Guifei is really like the "favorite concubine of the emperor" in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, I think Emperor Taizong can definitely afford an ordinary concubine even if he can't give her the title of queen. What's more, in 17, the position of the fourth concubine in the harem was vacant. Because of Li You's rebellion, Yin Jia, the biological mother, was demoted to a concubine, and Yan Xianfei was promoted to a virtuous concubine, whose position was just empty. According to Yang's son Cao, who was sealed in Zhenguan in 2 1 year, this "old son" of Emperor Taizong should have been born around 18. However, Emperor Taizong would rather give a virtuous concubine to A Zheng, who has no children and no pets, than take the opportunity to fill the position of his fourth concubine with a son. Judging from this situation, it is really hard to see how this young man is "spoiled".
What's more, if Yang really wants to be a successor, then Old Uncle Tang will definitely be included in Li Ming's biography. For example, Li Yuanjia, the son of korean king Tang Gaozu, and Yuwen Zhaoyi, his mother, were both "loved by Gaozu". When Gao Zugang acceded to the throne, he wanted to be a queen, and he didn't mean it. " Li Yuanjia was also loved by his mother. Among the sons born after Tang Gaozu ascended the throne, he was the most loved. Another example is Wu Huifei. Although she was not allowed to be the queen for various reasons, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty specially set up the title of "Hui Fei" for her, and she was the "Queen of the Palace". The eldest son, Xia Mourning Wang, was awarded the first class for his "great kindness", the second son was "loved by his mother and cared for by Xuanzong", and his daughter, Princess Taihua, was also "motherly, more courteous than the princess, and was given the first place in the palace".
Similarly, if Yang Guifei is really so favored, then her son Li Ming should also love and cherish me in the eyes of Emperor Taizong. However, throughout the official history, Emperor Taizong did nothing more to show his difference from other illegitimate children except enfeoffment Li Ming and recognition of his son's legal status. Moreover, although Emperor Taizong enfeoffed Li Ming, he still only called Yang a nest princess, and did not formally include him as a member of the harem. Such a move actually separated the mother-child relationship between Yang and Li Ming in etiquette. After all, one is the son of Emperor Taizong and the other is the sister-in-law of Emperor Taizong, who vetoed the mother-child relationship between Yang and Li Ming in terms of birthright. If Yang really won the favor of Emperor Taizong, he would never be treated like this. In 2 1 year of Zhenguan, Li Ming was appointed as the king of Cao, and was later adopted as the heir by Li Yuanji, the king of herding.
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.
