Princess Gaoyang and King Changsha

Princess Gaoyang, the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong. The princess was born in the early years of Zhenguan. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty called Taizong seventeen girls, and her birth mother was unknown. The second son Fang married in the middle of Zhenguan. Levin () made Xu a Taishou and served as a Taishou. In the early years of Yonghui in Tang Gaozong, he was awarded princess royal in Levin. Yonghui committed suicide for four years and was not allowed to be buried with Zhaoling. All the scholars were assigned to the Liu Ling table. During the reign of Tang Xianqing, Princess Hepu was sealed. Princess Gaoyang became the most famous princess of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty because of the biographies of princesses in The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the four-year royal rebellion in Yonghui. However, these two mysteries have been unrecognizable for thousands of years, and the details of them are still controversial, which has shrouded the true face of Princess Gaoyang in layers of fog. Princess Gaoyang's biological mother is unknown, but according to Princess Gaoyang's situation, most people think that concubines are the most likely. Among the daughters of Emperor Taizong, there were several princesses who participated in the rebellion, with different endings. The most famous ones are Princess Chengyang (born by her eldest grandson) and Princess Xu (Du Ruhui) who participated in the rebellion of Prince Zheng in 17, Princess Baling (unknown mother), Princess Xu Chai Lingwu (princess Zhao of Pingyang) and Princess Gaoyang (unknown mother) and Princess Xu Fangfang (prescription) who participated in the rebellion of Yonghui in 4 years. Among the four princesses, princess royal, Princess Chengyang and Princess Xincheng, remarried after the death of others and were buried with Zhaoling, while Princess Baling and Princess Gaoyang, who were sentenced to the same nature, were executed together with Captain Xu of the dynasty, which was equivalent to being completely cleansed from the royal family in political status. It was not until the reign of Emperor Xianqing that they were posthumously awarded to Princess Beijing and Princess Hepu respectively. There is no historical evidence to prove who Princess Gaoyang's biological mother is. Grandson and Wei Guifei may be younger. The eldest grandson gave birth to Prince Li Zhi and Princess Chengyang in the second and third years of Zhenguan respectively. However, Wei Guifei's conclusive data show that she only had children with Emperor Taizong, Wang He and Princess Linchuan. There should be more possibilities among the senior concubines of Emperor Taizong. There are twenty-one princesses living in Tang Taizong. Princess Gaoyang can be treated differently by Emperor Taizong, which may be because she often visits on her knees, or it may be inseparable from her congenial temperament. According to official records, Princess Gaoyang was loved by Emperor Taizong and was deeply loved by Emperor Taizong. So about fifteen years before and after Zhenguan, Princess Gaoyang was betrothed by Emperor Taizong at the age of twelve, and married the second son of Fang, the founding hero at that time, which was regarded as one of the princesses who were canonized and married earlier among the girls of Emperor Taizong. It is known that qinghe princess Excavate, the daughter of Emperor Taizong (in the second year of Zhenguan, the food city was 3,000, when the princess was about five years old), and Li Mengjiang, the princess of Linchuan written by Wei Guifei, didn't get married until the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, when she was eighteen. After that, with the death of Emperor Taizong, the new emperor Li Zhi succeeded to the throne. At the same time, Princess Gaoyang lost the protection of Emperor Taizong with her family, and Yonghui was devastated because her family loved Jing Wang Li for four years. There have always been different opinions and conclusions about this royal rebellion case. Some people think that it is the result of the defeat of the imperial clan forces after the battle with the infinite elders, others think that the imperial clan forces wanted to recommend new people to replace Li Zhi and were politically cleansed, and others think that Fang was killed in the Wei rebellion. In a word, many people were involved in this royal cleansing case. Li, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Baling were all executed, and the Fang family was almost cleaned out. Li Ke, the king of Wu, was unjustly killed by four sons, and Ren, Wei, Kun and Ling became bandits at the same time, which became a major case in Yonghui period and went down in history. The son of Princess Gaoyang and his wife was exiled to Lingnan. Li Ke (6 19-653), the third son of Li Shimin, is also the son of Emperor Taizong. There is only one noble descent in the world. His great-grandmother and great-grandmother were the daughters of Fu Weiguo, one of the eight-pillar countries in the Western Wei Dynasty, and his great-grandfather was also Li Hu, one of the eight-pillar countries in the Western Wei Dynasty. His great-grandfather was Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the founding emperor of Sui Dynasty, his grandfather was Yang Guang, the founding emperor of Tang Dynasty, and his father was Li Shimin and Emperor Taizong, one of whom was Yang Sui. Genealogy says "virtue" and "virtue", but the actual situation needs to be tested; The epitaph here is blank, and there is a mother and brother, Shu Wang Li Cheng. His four sons: Li Ren (Li), Wei Li, Kun Li and Li Xuan. In the third year of Wude (620), he was named King of Changsha County. According to official records, this is "Jin En"; In the ninth year of Wude (626), Hanwang (two books of the Tang Dynasty) was named, and the epitaph Yun was the king of Hanzhong County, which should be written in a derogatory sense. In the second year of Zhenguan (628), he served as the king of Shu, the commander of Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan), and was not an official; In the fifth year of Zhenguan (63 1), he was transferred to Zhou Qin as the viceroy (now Tianshui, Gansu), but he was not an official; In the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), he was transferred to the governor of qi zhou (now Jinan) and served as an official for one year; In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), he was transferred to the governor of Yizhou, and it was the first time that a prince or prime minister led the governor from afar. In the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), he served as the king of Wu and was transferred to the governor of Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan), but he was not an official; In the eleventh year of Zhenguan (637), he was transferred to the governor of Anzhou (now Anlu, Hubei) at the beginning of the year, and he was an official and hereditary; At the end of the year, he was impeached for poaching (New Tang Book records that Li Ke was impeached for gambling with the son of a wet nurse); In the twelfth year of Zhenguan (638), he served as the governor of Fuan House; In the 13th year of Zhenguan (639), Emperor Taizong became a hereditary imperial edict, and the retention of titles of princes and their vassals is unknown, which needs to be verified. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), Emperor Taizong proposed the establishment of a protected area, but Sun Chang was infinitely opposed. In the first year of Yonghui (650), Bai Sikong was the governor of Liangzhou (now southern Shaanxi); Find and grant the governor of Anzhou; In the second year of Yonghui (65 1), he moved to Taizi Taishi; In a certain year, Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan) town; In the fourth year of Yonghui (653), he was involved in a rebellion case and was unjustly killed; Ren, Wei, Kun and Xuan are four sons, and they flow in parallel; In the fifth year of Xianqing (659), he chased Wang Yulin to build a temple and took Hejian Wang Xiaohong and Sun Rong as Houyi Division of Yulin County. Li Rong was convicted in Guangzhai, which coincided with the pardon of the Li Ren brothers, and Li Ren attacked them. At the beginning of the dragon, for the ceremony, prepare for burial; In Dragon, the land is restored. Note: Shenlong (705 1 Month-September 707) is the title of Wu Zetian and Tang Zhongzong Li Xian. In February of the first year of Shenlong, Zhongzong restored the Tang Dynasty. Considering comprehensively, it should be the end of the first year of Shenlong (705) or the beginning of the second year of Shenlong (706). According to the epitaph, Li Ke was strangled in Chang 'an Palace on the second day of February in Yonghui four years, at the age of 34.
