Empress Grandson is the daughter of the general of Sui Dynasty, and Gao's father is the secretariat of Yangzhou. Born in an official family, the eldest grandson received a whole set of orthodox education from an early age and developed a character of erudition, humility, virtue, gentleness, integrity and kindness. When she was young, when a fortune teller calculated her birthday, she said, "Kun carries everything, and virtue is boundless, and harmony is precious."

At the age of thirteen, he married his second son who stayed in Taiyuan at that time, at the age of seventeen. Although she is young, she can do her best to be a woman, serve her in-laws, and be a very competent kannika nimtragol, which won the favor of her husband and in-laws. Li Shimin is a promising young man, whether in civilian or military positions. At the age of eighteen, he broke into the enemy camp alone and rescued his trapped father. At the age of twenty, there is a king's wind, which can save money and recruit heroes all over the world. At the age of twenty-one, he joined his father, Tang Yuan, in Taiyuan, and led the army to capture Chang 'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, making Tang Yuan the emperor's throne and becoming the founder of the Tang Dynasty-Tang Gaozu.
After Tang Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, he named Li Shimin King of Qin, who was responsible for controlling the military forces in Kanto. Within a few years, Li Shimin sent troops to wipe out the separatist forces in the Central Plains and completed the great cause of reunification in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Tang Gaozu named him General Ce Tian, ranking higher than other princes. During the Civil War in Li Shimin, the eldest grandson always followed her husband and took care of his daily life, which made Li Shimin feel as gentle as a clear spring after the busy war, making him more nervous and invincible in the battle. After Li Shimin was appointed as General Ce Tian, he enjoyed special power and could set up an official office, which was a gesture of a small court. I was under his command to help him. Military commanders include generals who are brave and good at fighting, such as Cheng, Qin, Zhai, Qin and Weichi Gong. Among the civil servants are Du Ruhai, Fang, Yu Shinan, Zhuge Liang, Yao Shilian, Li Xuandao, Cai Yungong, Xue, Yan, Su Xu, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou, Li Shousu, Lu Qingming, Kong, Gai, Xu and other "eighteen bachelors", which is really a sage and covers the sky. Such a chaotic situation naturally makes Li, an incompetent prince who is greedy for wine and lust, feel uneasy. Out of suspicion and jealousy, he and his third brother Li Yuanji attempted to murder his younger brother Li Shimin. The plot was discovered by the counselors, but under the pressure of my brother-in-law Wuji and the counselors, I finally made up my mind to get rid of the Prince and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, in Xuanwu Gate. Soon, Li Shimin was made a prince.
In fact, the second son of Tang Taizu Li Yuan is what he appreciates most. For this kind of fratricidal tragedy, the eldest grandson princess originally strongly opposed it, but what can she do alone in the face of cruel political struggle? She had to work hard to understand her husband. In August of the ninth year of Wude in Tang Gaozu, Li Yuan was given a Zen position to Prince Li Shimin because of his advanced age, and Li Shimin became Emperor Taizong.
When a rising tide lifts all boats, the eldest grandson princess immediately became the eldest grandson queen of the mother instrument world, fulfilling Mr. Bugua's prediction of "mastering everything in the universe." As the supreme queen, I am not proud of it. As always, she maintained the virtues of being virtuous, humble and thrifty. For the old and idle Emperor Tang Gaozu, she is very respectful and meticulous. Every morning and evening, she goes to inquire after him, reminding the maids around Emperor Gaozu how to adjust his daily life, and she is as filial as an ordinary daughter-in-law and grandson, and is also very tolerant and obedient to the concubines in the harem. Instead of seeking special care, she advised Li Shimin to treat every concubine fairly as usual. Because of this, there are few jealousies in the harem of Emperor Taizong, which are rare in all previous dynasties. The lonely queen of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty managed the harem in an orderly way at first, but she relied on autocratic policies and skills. The eldest grandson, just by virtue of her dignified character, silently influenced and influenced the atmosphere of the whole harem, so that Emperor Taizong was not disturbed by the right and wrong of the harem and could concentrate on military affairs. No wonder Emperor Taizong was very respectful to her!
Although the eldest grandson was born in a noble family, he is now prosperous, but he has always followed a frugal and simple lifestyle. He does not pay attention to luxury and extravagance in clothes and articles, nor does he lavish himself on eating, drinking and having fun. This has also promoted the simple fashion of the harem and set an example for the implementation of the policy of governing the country by Emperor Taizong. Because the eldest grandson's actions were straightforward, Emperor Taizong also valued her. Back to the harem, I often talk to her about some details of military affairs and rewards and punishments. Although the eldest grandson is a very insightful woman, she doesn't want to interfere in state affairs in a special capacity. She has her own set of principles that men and women are different and perform their duties. Therefore, she said, "Hens are not the right way in the morning, and it is also ominous for women to predict political events." However, Emperor Taizong insisted on listening to her opinion. However, the eldest grandson couldn't help it. She gave a thoughtful opinion: "In peacetime, benevolence and talents can be assisted, and other concubines don't understand." She put forward principles instead of binding the emperor's husband with detailed suggestions. She has great confidence in the ability of Li Shimin's advisers and wise men.
Li Shimin firmly remembered his wife's words "Be prepared for danger in times of peace" and "Be virtuous and teach". At that time, the world was basically peaceful, and many military commanders gradually began to neglect practicing martial arts. In his spare time, Emperor Taizong often recruited military attaché s to practice archery, calling it a pastime. In fact, it is to urge the military attaché s to practice martial arts diligently, and take the exercise results as an important reference for their promotion and reward. According to the rules of past dynasties, except for court guards and individual heroes, it is generally forbidden to carry weapons into the palace to ensure the safety of the emperor, so someone reminded Emperor Taizong; "Everyone is holding an arrow in their seats. If someone tries to hurt your majesty, it will be a national disaster! " Li Shimin said, "I treat people with sincerity. Why should I doubt the people around me?" His style of appointing people on merit and employing people without doubt won the support of all his officials, so everyone under him encouraged himself and dared not let his guard down, even in times of peace and prosperity. The country has been well-trained in Mazhuang for a long time and is not afraid of foreign invasion.

With regard to Ren Xian and coachable, Emperor Taizong benefited a lot from it, so he also performed very well. He often said to the left and right: "if people want to see their looks clearly, they must use a mirror;" If a king wants to know his mistakes, he must rely on outspoken advisers. " Wei Zhi, his remonstrator, is a Geng Jie who dares to speak out. Kevin·Z often pointed out some improper behaviors and policies of Emperor Taizong to his face and urged him to correct them. Emperor Taizong was in awe of him and often called him a "loyal minister". However, sometimes Wei Zhi didn't let go of some trivial matters, which made Emperor Taizong often feel embarrassed. On one occasion, Tang Dazong was in a sudden mood and went hunting in the suburbs with a large group of guards. Just as he was leaving the palace gate, he met Wei Zhi head-on. Wei Zhi asked about the situation and immediately said to Emperor Taizong, "It's mid-spring, and everything is sprouting. Animals feed their young. It is not suitable for hunting. Please go back to the palace. " Emperor Taizong was very interested at that time and thought, "I am the richest son of heaven in the world. What if I finally find a time to go out for fun, just to beat a few little animals?" So please Wei Zheng aside, I still insist on this trip. Wei Zhi refused to compromise and stood on the road, resolutely blocking the way of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong was furious, dismounted and angrily returned to the palace, and everyone around him was worried about Wei Zhi. When Emperor Taizong returned to the palace to see his eldest grandson, the wanderer said with indignation, "I must kill Wei Zhi, an old stubborn man, to vent my hatred!" Empress Grandson asked softly why. Without saying anything, she quietly returned to the back room and put on her clothes. Then she came to the front of Emperor Taizong with a solemn face and bowed down and said, "Congratulations!" " This move made Emperor Taizong very puzzled. He didn't know what medicine was buried in her gourd, so he was surprised and asked, "Why are you so cautious?" Empress Grandson replied solemnly: "I heard that your master was wise before I was upright, and now Wei is upright." This shows that your majesty is wise, so I congratulate your majesty. " Hearing this, Emperor Taizong felt that what the Queen said was very reasonable, so the dark clouds disappeared and Wei Zhi was able to keep his position and life. It can be seen that the eldest grandson queen is not only generous, but also resourceful.
Li Chenggan, the eldest son of the eldest grandson and Emperor Taizong, was made a prince since childhood, and his nurse, Mrs. Sui 'an, was in charge of the daily expenses of the Prince's East Palace. At that time, the palace practiced a system of frugality, and it was no exception in the womb, and the expenses were very compact. Mrs. Sui 'an often mumbles to herself in front of her eldest grandson, saying, "The prince is the future king and deserves the support of the world. However, now the expenses are tight and everything is very shabby. " Therefore, it has repeatedly asked for an increase in fees. However, the eldest grandson did not relent because she was his beloved son. She said: "As Chu Jun, there is still a long time when patients are not famous for their morality. Why do they suffer from a shortage of equipment and can't use it! " Her justice and wisdom won the admiration of all kinds of people in the palace, and everyone was willing to obey her arrangement.
Sun Chang Wuji, the eldest grandson's brother, is both civil and military. In his early years, he and Li Shimin became close friends and helped Li Shimin win the world and made outstanding achievements. He should be a senior official, but because of the queen's sister, he avoided suspicion everywhere so as not to leave excuses for others. Emperor Taizong originally wanted Sun Chang Wuji to be prime minister, but his eldest grandson said, "Now my concubine has entered the palace, which is extremely supreme. I really don't want my brothers to set up another court and become a family. The trip to Lv Hou in Han Dynasty can serve as a lesson. I hope to be wise, don't take my brother as the prime minister! " Emperor Taizong didn't want to listen to him. He felt that Sun Chang Wuji was able to become prime minister because of his merits and talents. He could "let everyone avoid personal relationships and be talented". And Sun Chang Wuji is also very concerned about her sister's relationship. Don't want to be a big minister. As a last resort, Emperor Taizong had to let him be the third secretary of the opening ceremony, with a lofty position and no actual charge of political affairs. Sun Chang Wuji still refused, on the grounds that "I am a consort and a senior official, afraid that everyone will say that your majesty is private." Emperor Taizong said seriously: "My voters are officials. Talent is useful, if there is no talent, although it is not necessary, Wang Xiangyi Shenfu is an example; If you are talented, you won't avoid the enemy. Wei Zhi is an example. Today's move is not personal. " Sun Chang promise this just promised down, the brother and sister are the kind of honest and selfless noble people. Princess Changle is the apple of Emperor Taizong and his grandson's eye. Spoiled since childhood, she is a delicate golden leaf. When she was about to get married, she spoiled her parents and proposed that the dowry should be twice as much as that of Princess Yongjia. Princess Yongjia, the sister of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, got married when everything was waiting for the prosperous early Tang Dynasty, so the dowry was relatively simple. Princess Changle was in her prime when she got married, and her national strength was strong. It is not too much to ask for some dowry. But when Wei Zhi heard about it, he remonstrated with the court: "If Princess Changle's gift is too much for Princess Yongjia, it is incompatible with emotion and reason, and the children will be in order. The regulations have been made. I hope your majesty will not give orders to others! " Emperor Taizong disagreed with this statement. Times have changed and things have changed. There is no need to stick to the rules. After returning to the palace, Emperor Taizong inadvertently told his grandson what Wei Zhi said, but his grandson attached great importance to it. She praised: "It is often said that your majesty values Wei Zhi, but I don't know why;" After listening to his advice today, it is actually a courtesy to suppress the love affair of the master, and it is also a minister who knows the truth. My concubine and your majesty are married and have deep feelings. I am still afraid of your majesty's high position, so I must first examine your majesty's color in everything I say and do, and dare not offend easily; It is rare for Wei Zhi to be so alienated from people and ministers as to speak loudly, and your majesty can't help it. " So, under the care of her eldest grandson, Princess Changle got married with a very generous dowry.
The eldest grandson not only praised Wei Zhi verbally, but also sent an envoy from China to give Kevin·Z 400 silks and 400 yuan, and sent a message saying: "I heard that it is fair and straightforward, so now I see it, so I reward each other; The public should always grasp this heart and not transfer it. " With the support and encouragement of his eldest grandson, Wei Zhi devoted himself more and tried his best. He often makes faces in the court, not afraid of offending the emperor and etiquette. It was because of such a loyal counselor that Emperor Taizong avoided many mistakes and became a wise king. In the final analysis, there is actually the contribution of the eldest grandson! In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson visited Jiucheng Palace with Taizong. On the way back, she caught a cold, which caused her old chronic disease, and her condition became worse every day. Prince Chenggan asked to pardon the prisoners and sent them to the Taoist temple to pray for their mother to get rid of the disease. All the ministers thanked the Queen Shengde in succession, and even the honest and frank Wei Zhi did not raise any objection. However, the eldest grandson himself is firmly opposed. She said: "life and death are life, wealth is in the sky, beyond human power." If cultivating blessings can prolong life, then I have never done anything evil; What's the use of seeking happiness if doing good deeds doesn't work? Pardon prisoners is a national event, and Taoist temples are also a quiet place. You don't have to disturb them because of me. Why do I have to disturb the laws of the world because I am a woman! " She has a deep sense of justice and never influences state affairs for herself. Everyone was moved to tears. Emperor Taizong had to give up according to her wishes. The eldest grandson's illness dragged on for two years and finally died in Li Zhengtang in the ten-year heat of Zhenguan, at the age of 36. When he died, he was still saying that he told Emperor Taizong to be kind to the virtuous ministers and not to let the consorts be prominent. And asked for a thin burial after death, and everything was simple.
Emperor Taizong did not fully comply with the wishes of his eldest grandson. He ordered the construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum, which was very magnificent, and specially built a balcony in the cemetery so that the queen's soul could look out from a height at any time. The wise emperor wanted to express his admiration and nostalgia for his wife in this way. With his virtuous character and selfless behavior, the eldest grandson not only won the admiration of Emperor Taizong and insiders inside and outside the palace, but also set a good example for future generations. When Emperor Gaozong arrived, she was hailed as "a kind-hearted and noble-minded queen"
