Chapter 407 The Importance of Empress Changsun
It is said in history books that Li Shimin accepts advice humbly, but in fact Li Shimin is very irritable.
Empress Changsun used her influence over her husband to comfort the virtuous court and correct her husband's mistakes.On the one hand, Empress Changsun admired Wei Zheng's loyal ministers who dared to speak out, and on the other hand, she kept reminding Li Shimin to practice benevolent government.She played a unique role in the patriarchal feudal society with female-specific power, assisting the emperor's husband, which brought about a favorable political situation in the early Tang Dynasty.
Junming, ministers and virtuous, civil and martial arts, spring breeze and harmony, kind and tolerant.
It can be said that Empress Changsun has a lot of credit for the ideal state "Zhenguan Zhizhi" that haunted future generations in the early Tang Dynasty.
Empress Changsun not only has a high reputation among the people, but is also very respected by all officials.
Hearing that Empress Changsun was seriously ill, not only Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other court officials and military officials all came outside the Lizheng Hall to wait for the news, even Li Daozong and other clans also came.
Even Li Xiaogong, who rarely went out, entered the palace rarely, and waited outside the hall.
Seeing Sun Simiao coming out, Li Chengqian rushed to meet him and asked, "Master Sun, how is my mother's condition?"
"I have seen His Royal Highness, the princes, princesses, and lords."
There were too many people, and Sun Simiao couldn't salute one by one.
"Miraculous doctor Sun, don't worry about these false rituals now, tell me how the empress is doing?" Cheng Yaojin said.
Changsun Wuji just wanted to speak, but Cheng Yaojin forced him to stop, and looked at Sun Simiao nervously.
The eldest grandson's family can have today's power, although he has painstakingly managed it, but the greatest credit is due to the eldest grandson empress.
He has done a lot of credit, but it's not like there are people who have done more than him.
The only difference is because he and Li Shimin knew each other earlier, plus Li Shimin's liking for Empress Changsun, his love of the house and Wuji, and his trust in Changsun Wuji more and more.
Empress Changsun is his younger sister, coupled with the importance of Empress Changsun to the Changsun family, Changsun Wuji is naturally very concerned about Empress Changsun's condition.
Sun Simiao said: "The Empress is an old illness, and I have no choice but to alleviate it."
According to his estimation, Empress Changsun was ill once or twice, and she was probably hopeless.
If ordinary people do not have good recuperation conditions, they may not be able to survive this winter.
Empress Changsun has a noble status and has good conditions for recuperation, but no matter how well she recuperates, it is impossible for her to never have an attack.
According to the current situation, Empress Changsun still has a year or two at most.
Although Sun Simiao didn't care about political affairs, he was not a novice who knew nothing.
Although the queen's life and death are not as important as the emperor's, they cannot be spread indiscriminately.
Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi, the children of the eldest grandson empress, trembled when they heard Sun Simiao's words, their faces were so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Although Sun Simiao's words were vague, none of the people present were fools.
If there is no problem, Sun Simiao will directly say that there is no problem. Since Sun Simiao said so, then the problem is very serious.
Everyone's heart was very heavy. When the Xuanwu Gate was changed, many of them were still a little uneasy. Even Li Shimin was not sure that it would succeed.
But Empress Changsun showed no signs of fear, and personally encouraged them before leaving.
Later, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin dropped to a freezing point. It was Empress Changsun who ignored Li Yuan's cold eyes and served in front of him every day, which greatly eased the gap between Li Shimin's father and son.
Commanding the harem, and being favored by Li Shimin, not only never interfered in political affairs, but also often advised Li Shimin.
For all these things, Empress Changsun can be called a generation of virtuous queens.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath, with some sadness in his lonely expression.
In recent years, he often made outspoken remarks, which made Li Shimin furious.
If it wasn't for the mediation of Empress Changsun, not to mention the loss of the head, I'm afraid he would have been dismissed from office long ago.
He knows Li Shimin better than anyone else, seems to be able to listen to advice, and has a broad mind.In fact, it is very irritable and stubborn.
And Empress Changsun is the one who can calm Li Shimin down. If Empress Changsun passes away, who can persuade Li Shimin to live in the future?
……
Although Lin Xuan didn't pay attention to the situation in Chang'an, the news that Empress Changsun was seriously ill had spread throughout Chang'an, how could he not know.
When he knew that Sun Simiao had entered the palace, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Simiao has such a great reputation in history and is respected as the king of medicine. Even if he can't cure his asthma, he should be able to relieve it.
Moreover, in history, Empress Changsun died only ten years ago in Zhenguan. Not to mention the relief of her illness by the methods I mentioned, it is only six years since Zhenguan, so there should be nothing wrong this time.
Even though he thought so, Lin Xuan was still a little worried.
The 'butterfly effect' should not be underestimated. Although his influence on the eldest grandson empress should be good, who can put it lightly?
According to the trajectory of history, it is true that Empress Changsun died in Zhenguan ten years ago, but if a person's life trajectory changes a little, the trajectory of the whole person will deviate.
Who knows if Empress Changsun will die early?
It's not that he has deep feelings for the eldest grandson, but the empress of the eldest grandson is Li Lizhi's mother after all. After the death of the empress of the eldest grandson, Li Lizhi will definitely be very sad, and Li Lizhi also suffers from Qi disease, will it cause Qi disease?
In addition, Lin Xuan understands the importance of Empress Changsun very well.
If you want to say what is the biggest shortcoming of Emperor Taizong's nearly perfect "Regulation of Zhenguan", the biggest shortcoming is the battle for succession that broke out between the prince Li Chengqian in the late Zhenguan period and Wei Wang Li Tai, and it was precisely in Zhenguan that the status of Prince Li Chengqian was shaken. It is not a coincidence that after the death of Empress Zhangsun ten years later.
Li Shimin is in the prime of life, and Li Chengqian is an adult, a lot of conflicts will definitely break out between father and son, but without the lubricant of empress Changsun, no one can reconcile the conflicts between father and son.
Because of the intensified conflict, Li Chengqian's position was shaken, coupled with the pressure brought by Li Tai, forced Li Chengqian to finally embark on the road of rebellion.
Many people know that Li Chengqian loves a male favorite named Xinxin very much. Li Shimin was furious and killed him. It was also because of this that Li Shimin was very disappointed in Li Chengqian.
And Li Chengqian also resented Li Shimin because Li Shimin killed his favorite Xinxin, and finally rebelled.
But in fact, is it really so?
Seeing homosexuality nowadays, many people find it unacceptable.
Many people have heard the idiom "Longyang Zhihao", but few people pay attention to when this idiom came from.
This idiom comes from "Warring States Policy · Wei Ce", which means that during the Warring States Period, homosexuality had already appeared.
Raising male pets was not accepted in ancient times, but it was not uncommon.
Li Chengqian is not a fool, if raising a pet boy is really taboo, how could he raise it?No one dared to give it to him.
Therefore, it can be seen that raising a male pet was nothing at all at that time.
So why did Li Shimin kill Yixin?
This has to be said about Li Shimin's way of educating Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin attached great importance to Li Chengqian's education and hired many famous teachers for him.
And those teachers, when teaching Li Chengqian, completely followed the requirements of the ancient sages.
According to historical records, in AD 640 (the 14th year of Zhenguan), when Li Chengqian only built a house, Yu Zhining criticized him for being too extravagant; World.In contrast, Kong Yingda was even more intense. As soon as he felt that something was wrong with Li Chengqian, he immediately remonstrated with Yan Yan. The prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, once persuaded Kong Yingda that since the prince was old, it was not appropriate to always hurt Li Chengqian in front of his face. Criticism and accusations, but Kong Yingda said that I "had nothing to hate for death" in doing so, and the result was "remonstrance is too much, and Chengqian can't accept it."As for Zhang Xuansu, he was always admonishing him all the time, his words were so urgent that Li Chengqian would listen to him immediately, and it is conceivable what the result will be.
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't care about the reason, and directly reprimanded Li Chengqian.
At that time, Li Chengqian was only at the age of rebellion, and was often reprimanded like this, how could he listen to it?
In addition, the three of Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda are almost more sparse than each other, and their words are more fierce than the other, and each sentence is sharper than the other.
Li Shimin was naturally even more disappointed with Li Chengqian. When he learned that Li Chengqian was infatuated with Xinxin, Li Shimin directly killed him.
Li Shimin didn't kill Xinxin because Li Chengqian raised a male favorite.
This kind of behavior is similar to the parents of later generations dropping the game console because their children are obsessed with playing games.
