As an empress of Han Dynasty who has been in power for more than 30 years, Wei Zifu's ending is infinitely bleak. The child she gave birth to for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was completely killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was finally abolished by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and committed suicide in despair. It was not until many years after Wei Zifu and his eldest son, Prince Edward, committed suicide that Emperor Wu suddenly repented of his cruelty and being cheated. He built a "thinking about the uterus" and a "returning platform for thinking about the uterus" by the East Lake where the prince committed suicide. On rainy, snowy and moonless nights, he often walks alone on the platform, calling the name of the prince and hoping that his son's soul will return. However, he never missed Wei Zifu who died in the same boat with him, even though he loved her infinitely when he was young. Until his death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not appoint a woman to be buried with him in Maoling. So, as the minister of records, Huo Qubing's half-brother, and the son of the Wei family who also stepped on Wei Zifu's nepotism, Huo Guang speculated that the love of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be buried in Maoling with Li Furen, who had been dead for twenty or thirty years.
After Wei Zifu committed suicide, he was hastily buried in a small coffin in Tongbai Garden in the south of the city, far away from the mausoleum of Emperor Wu, with no name and no temple sacrifice. Later, Liu Xun, her great-grandson, succeeded to the throne as Xuan Di, the Emperor Gaozu, and only gave her a posthumous title named "Si Shou" to guard the shrines of 300 families in Yuan Yi. Now, it's probably oblivion, and the bones are destroyed to mud.
If she can die at the age of 60, Wei Zifu can still be regarded as a happy woman with a legendary life story, full of children and grandchildren, who once pampered 3,000 people and enjoyed all the splendor. Unfortunately, she is still stubborn and unwilling to live. For her, those extra years can only be a long and humiliating life. First the emotional abandonment, and then the threat of status, Wei Zifu lived in fear and fear. All the revered men in her family died in their prime-Huo Qubing and Wei Qing have been dead for more than ten years, and it has been more than twenty years since they expelled the Huns, established the meritorious military service and dominated the world. No one can help her anymore. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has long forgotten the great contribution of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the Han Dynasty. So the curse of witchcraft began, Wei Qing's son was beheaded, the Wei family was copied, Wei Zifu's brother-in-law Gong Sunhe and his son were killed, the Gong Sunjia was destroyed, and then Wei Zifu's two daughters, Princess and Princess, were beheaded. Then, the blood of witchcraft extended to Changle Palace in Wei Zifu and East Palace of Prince Yi. In desperation, the Prince and Wei Zifu rose up and tried to force Emperor Wu to abdicate. Unfortunately, although Emperor Wu was old and confused, he still had outstanding military talents when he was young. It took him only a few days to defeat the Prince, and those who waited for Wei Zifu got nothing in return.
No historian has left behind Wei Zifu's joys and sorrows, but from her life's deeds, we can see that she always has that kind of fear in her heart. Being in a worrying high position, Wei Zifu gave in and was patient, but these low gestures did not bring her peace and calm. Fifty years of caution in the palace can't stop the arrival of bad luck. What a miserable life it is, even a mediocre civilian woman can't compare with it.
Ballads circulating in Yuefu up to now:
Having a daughter without anger,
There was an unhappy boy,
Can't see Wei Zifu dominating the world?
It turned out to be a ruthless irony of Wei Zifu's tragic fate-who can really know how many blood and tears are behind Wei Zifu's glory?
Li Shimin, the founding king of the Tang Dynasty, lived only 50 years and enjoyed the country for 23 years. The article introduced is generally said to have died of dysentery, but some historians have verified that the real cause of death was taking Dan medicine, and Emperor Taizong "took Hu monk medicine, which led to sudden illness". This statement is also proved by some indirect historical data, not to mention that Cheng Tang and Wei Jin took Dan medicine. Li Shimin thinks that Dan is another matter.
In addition, however, there is no lack of a third possibility, that is, Li Shimin was seriously injured by an arrow in the battle of Zhenguan 19 and could not recover for a long time. Plus eating Dan medicine at random made him weaker, so after three years and eight months, he finally died.
Li Shimin was wounded by an arrow during his expedition to Korea. This statement, of course, is not found in domestic historical materials. This statement is from North Korea, and I just learned it soon. Zhenguan 65438+In June 2009, Li Shimin besieged Anshi. Because Gao Yanshou and Gao took North Korea and Hong's150,000 soldiers to rescue, the two sides were deadlocked. Li Shimin led Li Shiji, Sun Chang Wuji and Li Daozong to attack, so he could not leave in March and had to move troops back to the DPRK. According to the records in Zi and Jian, the reason for withdrawing troops is because "the left side of Liao is cold, the grass is dry and the water is frozen, the horse can't stay for a long time, and the food will be exhausted." However, according to Koryo's records, this is because the Allies defeated Tang Jun many times and shot and killed Li Shimin, forcing him to retreat.
Of course, whether Li Shimin was really injured by an arrow has become a historical mystery. Even if it is a fact, it can only be a big secret known by a limited number of people at that time. There is a detail in Zi Tong Zhi Jian, "I will love my concubine's private affairs and go out of her house. Hundreds of people from Korea went to war from the city, so they seized the earth mountain and kept it." In a rage, he hacked his pet to death and ordered the general to attack it. He could not win in three days. The Taoist disciple repented to Yi's subordinates and said,' Your sin should be said to die ... so I forgive you. "Losing a heaped-up mountain is not enough to affect the success or failure of the war, so that King Jiangxia confesses under his banner and is guilty as death. It seems that in this battle for heaped-up mountains, Li Shimin really suffered a big loss. According to Li Shimin's past style, he often commanded battles at the front. If Li Shimin is really injured, it will be a battle. According to the New Tang Book, during the Liaodong War, soldiers were good at shooting and riding, so "in every war, soldiers are always ahead". After the defeat of Gao, he killed three thousand soldiers in the pit, which is not in line with the generous style. The vendetta here can only be explained by arrow wound. On the way to Li Shimin, he said, "If Kevin·Z were here, I wouldn't do anything! "Such loss and sadness do not seem to come from the mouth of a battle-hardened commander-in-chief.
According to Zi Tong Zhi Jian, Li Shimin suddenly suffered from carbuncle on his way back, so serious that the prince walked and even smoked carbuncle for several days. When I arrived in Bing, Liu Yue, a senior minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, met me. "I'm not going up, but I'm going out from the inside. I'm sad and scared. I said,' I'm very ill. I can't worry about the holy bow!' ""When this remark came out, disaster struck, and the Book of Rites was written by Li Shimin. "I secretly discuss with people, in case I peek, I beg to balance. I am in Iraq, Huo, and I suspect that I want to cut it. It is advisable to commit suicide and avoid his wife. " Supposedly, Liu Shangshu's crime is not here. The fact is that he revealed the truth about Li Shimin's so-called carbuncle disease to outsiders, right?
After returning to Chang 'an, Li Shimin's injury did not improve. In February of the following year, "the disease is not completely flat and needs special maintenance. In Wu Geng, he wrote to the military to maintain and appoint the Crown Prince to carry out it. So the prince listened to politics in the East Palace every day, and when he stopped, he went to wait on the medicated diet, never leaving. It took Li Shimin a whole year to recover from the injury. "He recovered and watched North Korea for three days.". In the first month of 2 1 year, Gao Shilian died of illness and Li Shimin sent a message of condolences. " Sun Chang Wuji is in Shi Lian funeral home, and I heard that he will come. He stopped crying and greeted Ma Shou, saying,' Your Majesty can't be in mourning for luring stones, so why don't you respect yourself for the people in the ancestral hall ...' "It can be seen that Li Shimin not only failed to recover, but also was in poor health, and because he was eager to recover, he began to take a lot of pills. As a result, in May, I had to inform the Crown Prince again. Since then, the prince has been leading the government. Of course, Li Shimin also participated in state affairs, but he only paid attention to major events, and his position was similar to that of the emperor's father. This lasted until his death in May of the following year.
Basically, judging from Li Shimin's physical condition, Zhenguan 19' s personal expedition to North Korea was indeed a turning point. Before the war, Li Shimin was full of ambition and high spirits, but after his failure, he became ill and never recovered. Is it a blow of failure? Of course not, because in the last two years, Li Shimin also discussed and demonstrated Korea twice, and was once beaten by Li Shiji's unified army. Then the answer is obvious, that is, Li Shimin was really defeated in the last battle of his life. Not only did he lose the war, but he even accompanied the "Dragon Body". And the reason may not be accidental illness, and the possibility of injury should be the greatest. Of course, such a thing is the highest military secret on the battlefield, and it will be concealed by all means for the sake of the emperor's dignity and face afterwards. The statement or judgment from the enemy can't be found, which may be exaggerated, but it is more reliable by comparison.
