Watching short videos of beautiful women dancing, the ancients were all shocked

The prince's plan failed, the emperor's suspicion became more and more serious, and the struggle between the King of Qin and the prince entered a white-hot stage.

Faced with the prince's murder plan one after another, Li Shimin finally made up his mind to resist.

This is the reason for the Xuanwu Gate Incident!

Changsun knew that this was a life-and-death battle, so she walked from behind Li Shimin to the front of the crowd, her eyes like a mother and a wife, soothing him gently and firmly.

The soldiers' hearts were calmly boosted, and all the soldiers were impressed by the courage of Changsun, the wife of the King of Qin.

There was no suspense, the Xuanwu Gate Incident ended with Li Shimin's complete victory, which can be said to be a decisive battle.

Therefore, Empress Changsun was not only a harem mistress who was the mother of the country, but also a heroine who could fight on horseback and maintain peace on foot.

Three days later, on June 7, Li Shimin was made the crown prince, and Changsun became the crown princess.

On August 8, Li Shimin ascended the throne and became Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Just 13 days after he ascended the throne, he made Changsun the empress. With all the splendor and wealth in front of Empress Changsun, if it were any other woman, she would probably start to live a life of extravagance and lust.

But she was different.

Once, the wet nurse of Crown Prince Li Chengqian told Empress Changsun that there were not many utensils in the Eastern Palace, and asked the empress to ask the emperor to add more.

She shook her head and refused, advising:

"As a prince, you should pay more attention to your own virtues and less to material things. The prince and the palace people feel ashamed.

Since then, the palace has responded to Empress Changsun's call and a frugal spirit has prevailed.

Even after becoming the queen, she did not stop learning. She often read ancient books and illustrations, and she never put down her books when she was dressing up.

She was also proficient in literature and history and had foresight.

His elder brother, Changsun Wuji, made great contributions to Emperor Taizong of Tang and ranked first among the meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion.

So Emperor Taizong of Tang wanted to promote Changsun Wuji many times, but was strongly opposed by Empress Changsun.

She did not want her family to be excluded from the court, believing that this would prevent the serious interference of foreign relatives in politics in history, ensure the long-term stability of the Li Tang royal family, and preserve the longevity of her own clan descendants.

So when Empress Changsun was still alive, her brother Changsun Wuji had always been in a virtuous position. Unfortunately, after her death, Changsun Wuji was quickly promoted and reused by Emperor Taizong of Tang, and later became powerful in the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

In the end, he committed suicide and his family fell into disarray. Empress Changsun's views on the family were linked to the future defeat, which shows her extraordinary foresight and wisdom.

Empress Changsun gave birth to 7 children for Li Shimin. She and Li Shimin shared the same ideals and were able to properly handle her relationship with Emperor Taizong of Tang, the monarch and husband, as well as his relationship with court ministers and court politics, and she handled it quite wisely.

Unlike other queens in history, she was cautious in guiding women and never heard about political affairs in advance, but she always stood up at critical moments.

For example, Wei Zheng, who we all know, once contradicted Emperor Taizong of Tang and made him angry!

After leaving the court, he complained to Empress Changsun that the former prince's old ministers had not been recruited, and he was sharp-tongued and threatened to kill him sooner or later!

At this time, the attitude of the queen was very important. The key is that it is useless to persuade, because Emperor Taizong of Tang was angry, and you have to make Taizong feel comfortable to calm down.

So Empress Changsun did not speak directly!

Instead, she immediately put on the court dress that was only worn for solemn ceremonies, and bowed to Emperor Taizong of Tang to express her congratulations, saying that only an enlightened monarch can have ministers who dare to speak out and make suggestions.

This is equivalent to indirectly praising Emperor Taizong of Tang as an enlightened monarch.

So at that time, Emperor Taizong of Tang not only calmed down, but also turned his anger into joy, and rekindled his love for Empress Changsun, who was deeply righteous in front of him. There was another time when a beloved horse of Emperor Taizong of Tang died suddenly without any illness, and Emperor Taizong was angry at the palace servant who raised the horse and was about to kill him. Empress Changsun did not directly plead for the palace servant, but told her husband a story they had read together! It was said that in the past, Duke Jing of Qi wanted to kill people because of the death of a horse, and Yan Zi asked to list the sins of the horse keeper, saying, "The horse you raised died, this is your first sin, and the people will definitely blame our king for the death of the horse, this is your second sin, and the princes will definitely despise our country when they hear this news, this is your third sin." After hearing this, Duke Jing of Qi immediately pardoned the horse keeper's sin, and then Empress Changsun continued to say to Emperor Taizong of Tang, "Your Majesty once saw this incident when you were reading, it is hard to say."

Have you forgotten?

After hearing what his wife said, Emperor Taizong of Tang naturally thought that the palace servants who raised horses were also exempted from punishment.

It can be said that the horse keepers were only extremely humble palace servants in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, but Empress Changsun still took care of them with her kindness and wisdom, and did not despise their safety and lives because of their humble status.

It was precisely because of such a tolerant and sensible harem mistress that the harem in the early years of the Tang Dynasty was stable, tolerant and peaceful.

Empress Changsun not only properly handled the relationship between herself and Emperor Taizong of Tang and a group of court officials, but also treated the palace servants well, especially the many concubines of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and managed Li Shimin's harem in an orderly manner.

Speaking of Li Shimin's harem, it is definitely a legend. In addition to the eternal virtuous empress Changsun, his harem also has the former princess Yang Fei, the charming and charming sister-in-law, and the child prodigy Xu Hui who could speak at 5 months and write articles at the age of 4.

To manage such a harem, it is not feasible to be virtuous without skills and wisdom.

However, Empress Changsun managed the harem in an orderly manner, relieving Li Shimin of his worries.

It can be said that in addition to being virtuous, Empress Changsun's wisdom and ability are extraordinary!

This is a nearly perfect woman. Her talent, courage, wisdom, and virtue always warm the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and her loyalty and strong will make Li Shimin unforgettable.

In 633 AD, Li Shimin contracted a respiratory disease and could not get better!

Empress Changsun decided to feed the audience a wave of dog food. She personally accompanied Li Shimin and took good care of him. She also secretly hid a bag of poison in her sleeve.

She also said to her maid in private that if the emperor could not get better, I would never live alone!

Under the care of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's illness really got better slowly. Perhaps because she was too overworked during this period, Empress Changsun has been ill since then.

Seeing that Empress Changsun's health was getting worse and worse, the prince wanted to grant amnesty to the whole country and find some people to pray for his mother Empress Changsun to avoid disasters.

Empress Changsun said that life and death are determined by fate and cannot be changed by humans. If I have done good deeds all my life, and this is useless, what is the use of praying for blessings?

The amnesty order is a national event. Don't make trouble for the emperor blindly.

When the ministers heard about this, they all petitioned for amnesty for the queen and pray for blessings to eliminate disasters.

Li Shimin said, I firmly agree, firmly grant amnesty, and firmly pray for blessings, but Empress Changsun firmly disagrees.

Although Empress Changsun was ill, she was worried about her dying!

She heard that Li Shimin and Minister Fang Xuanling had a disagreement and asked Fang Xuanling to stop his post. She quickly called Li Shimin and said, I have three things to discuss with you!

The sky screen changed, and Empress Changsun was lying weakly on the bed!

Li Shimin looked at the white moonlight of the past, and his heart was also very sad!

Then Empress Changsun said:

"Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling has followed you for the longest time. He has proposed many ingenious strategies and has not made big mistakes. I hope you can use him."

Li Shimin hurriedly replied

"I just want to scare him, Guanyin, don't worry, I will do it well!"

This also indirectly made Fang Xuanling a good story of a wise minister in Zhenguan.

Empress Changsun continued:

"My family members are all blessed by your kindness. In fact, they are not virtuous enough. Don't entrust them with important tasks again, otherwise, disasters will easily occur."

Li Shimin also nodded repeatedly!

"When I was alive, I didn't make much contribution to the things at that time!"

"After I die, don't be extravagant. Use the mountain as a ridge, don't build a tomb, don't use a coffin, and use all the utensils made of tiles and wood to save money."

After saying these three things, Empress Changsun did not forget to repeatedly remind Li Shimin that you must be close to gentlemen, stay away from villains, accept loyal advice, prevent slander, save labor, and stop hunting.

Perhaps in her heart, although Li Shimin was already the emperor at this time, he was still the hot-blooded boy that made her worry.

After explaining the business!

Empress Changsun took out a bottle of poison from her sleeve, she held the poison and said:

"This is what I prepared during the time when your majesty was ill. I made up my mind at that time. If you can't get better, I will follow you."

This is probably the most poisonous love words in history.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Zhangsun died at the age of 36.

A woman who thought about her husband even before her death deserves to be remembered by Li Shimin for her whole life.
