Live broadcast of the old ancestor gossip: Feeding the black moonlight to Qin Shi Huang
Chapter 50 Li Chengqian
Li Shimin really couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't know the reason for his son's rebellion, but he heard the news that his beloved wife had passed away early.
His body went limp and he hurriedly grabbed Guanyin's maid's hand.
At this moment he was not an emperor, but just a husband, a husband whose beloved wife was about to pass away, a father who was about to lose his beloved son.
"Guanyin maid, you, you have to, you have to accompany me... I..." Li Shimin was unable to continue speaking.
Thinking about it now, it seems like it was just yesterday when Guanyinbi married him. At first, the family was harmonious. Later, when he fought for power, she was by his side. Be it life or death, she said that husband and wife are one, sharing the honor and disgrace, and will have no regrets in their lives.
He hadn't done enough. She was only thirty-six years old, and they hadn't lived a peaceful life for a few years. Why was she leaving him?
The palace servants had left at some point, leaving only the couple in the palace.
Li Shimin's tears kept falling and his words were incomplete. Empress Changsun was stunned for a long time when she first heard it, but soon smiled indifferently, but her smile looked bitter no matter how you looked at it.
She also wants to spend more time with her husband and children.
The pain in her hand grew worse and worse, and her bones were almost crushed by Li Shimin. Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with tears in his eyes and was really amused. She raised her other hand to wipe his tears.
"If outsiders saw your Majesty like this, they would laugh at you. How could an emperor be so fond of crying..."
Tears fell from his eyes as he spoke.
After getting married, she also laughed at her husband, wondering why he was more crybaby than her. However, the more she got to know him, the more she realized how good he was.
She had thought more than once that she was lucky. In this war-torn era, she married a powerful and loving husband. She didn't know how many times luckier she was than those women who married men who died in the war. But at the same time, she was so scared now. She was afraid that she would leave early like the established history, and eventually her husband and son would become alienated.
The couple hugged each other tightly. Li Shimin looked determined and said, "I won't let anything happen to you. Even if I seek help from all the doctors in the world, I won't let you die."
"Mother - I didn't, please don't die, wuwuwu..."
Li Chengqian suddenly ran in and hugged Empress Changsun and cried. Then, several other children also ran in and hugged and cried. Li Shimin let go of Empress Changsun and looked at the children. Empress Changsun squatted down and said to them, "Mother is here, mother is here."
Empress Changsun patted their small figures to comfort them.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: [Ms. Zhou Jia, I wonder what disease Guanyin died of? Is there any way to cure it?]
Zhou Jia said:
"In 634, Empress Changsun accompanied Li Shimin to Jiucheng Palace for summer vacation and fell seriously ill. Li Chengqian requested amnesty and to convert people to Taoism, but Empress Changsun refused. Li Shimin went to Puguang Temple and swore to pray for blessings, and later recovered.
In 635, Li Chengqian married Su as his concubine, but after great joy came great sorrow. His biological mother, Lady Zhao, and the retired emperor Li Yuan died one after another, which triggered some physical illnesses that Empress Zhangsun had suffered from in her early years. The following year, her condition worsened. Li Shimin prayed for her many times but to no avail, until she died in 636.
As an aside, if you are sick, why don't you just see a doctor and listen to him/her instead of praying for blessings? Isn't it better to listen to the doctor than to pray everywhere?
But from our perspective now, in addition to the relapse of Empress Changsun's old illness, it is also because she had given birth to too many children and her body was too weak. "
?
When Zhou Jia said this, the first people who did not accept it were not Li Shimin, but those men and women who were eager to have children to carry on the family line.
[Having a child is a good thing, how can it be harmful? You are just exaggerating.]
Many people echoed.
Zhou Jia didn't want to argue with them, so she said:
"Empress Changsun was born in 601 and died in 636. She married Li Shimin at the age of 634 and was only when she gave birth to Li Chengqian. She gave Li Shimin three sons and four daughters, a total of seven children. She even gave birth to a Princess Xincheng in . It's suffocating to hear this, isn't it?
She only lived for a few years and gave birth to seven children. I don't know why you people think that because you love her, you should let her have more children. Giving birth consumes the mother's energy. The health loss from giving birth to Empress Changsun in succession probably wasn't replenished and she suffered from various diseases. If she could live to be a hundred years old, it would be God's blessing.
I'll talk to you about this later when I have time, but just remember one thing: giving birth is very hard, and it's really hard to make up for the loss of energy in the mother's body after giving birth. Even now, it's still dangerous for women to give birth, not to mention your time. If you're not careful, you could lose both mother and child."
She shuddered.
Oh my god, it's so scary.
Stay safe by staying single and not having children!
【Evil words! Evil words confuse the people! 】
Zhou Jia rolled her eyes.
"If women think I'm misleading, I have nothing to say, but men, let's play a game.
Starting tonight, all men who think that pregnancy is not hard for women will become pregnant. You men will experience everything that women have to experience. Everyone except Your Majesty will experience it. Don't thank me, I will be proud.
Oh, don't think that I am unfair to you. We have a modern device that can allow men to experience the pain of a woman's ten fingers being opened during childbirth. The highest level is level twelve, and many men may not be able to even last half of it.
But some girls say that the top level 12 pain is nothing compared to childbirth. Don't worry, the system guarantees that the pain you experience is the most real pain, so enjoy it."
After saying this, Zhou Jia felt a lot better. After a few days of live streaming, she found that her mood had become much calmer. If she saw something she didn't like, she would just ignore it. After all, if she got angry, it would only harm her own body, and they wouldn't feel sorry for her.
Li Shimin was speechless. He had never thought that there would be such a reason. For a moment, he looked at Empress Changsun with some guilt.
Empress Changsun looked at him and smiled, "Second brother, I am willing."
"Quick, find the doctor, go!"
Like Li Shimin, there were many emperors, such as those of the Zhu family, who were frightened and immediately went to see the imperial physician.
"Let's get back to the point. 638 years after Empress Changsun passed away, Li Chengqian's eldest son was born. Li Shimin and the crown prince were very happy. However, this joy did not last long. Now comes the key point!"
Zhou Jia snapped his fingers.
"Li Chengqian became rebellious because of his foot disease. Don't ask me why he had foot disease. I don't know. There is no clear record in history books.
However, we have several speculations. One is that Li Chengqian's foot disease may have been caused by external factors such as falling from a horse. Another is that it was caused by Li Chengqian's own illness.
Didn’t I say before that your Tang Dynasty has hereditary diseases? Some people say that the Li Tang Dynasty had three highs: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. One of the three highs is diabetes. If diabetes worsens, it will cause diabetic foot and leg disability.
But I am not sure which type it is. Again, you can check it yourself in the future. But if it is diabetes, we still have no way to cure it, we can only control it. "
As she spoke, she displayed the relevant content she had found about diabetes on the screen.
Li Shimin and Empress Chang Sun looked carefully at the content related to diabetes. Li Chengqian listened to Zhou Jia's words and silently hugged Empress Chang Sun.
Doctors such as Li Shizhen, Hua Tuo, and Sun Simiao were all writing furiously to record the events.
"The problem came at this time. Li Shimin's tricks began. The prince suddenly became so rebellious. No, my old father wanted to hand over the Tang Dynasty to him. How could he let his prince be like this?
Therefore, Li Shimin carefully selected more than ten old and famous officials to teach Li Chengqian in the East Palace. They talked with Li Chengqian about all kinds of things, regardless of whether they were appropriate or not, and poured all their own thoughts into Li Chengqian's head. They made all kinds of remonstrations and remonstrations, trying to get this prince who had gone off track back on track. "
Zhou Jia took a deep breath and patted his chest. He was so angry that he couldn't continue talking.
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: [Is this wrong? Isn't it just to ask them to teach the prince a lesson? What else can they do if they don't make a remonstrance? ]
"Ha." Zhou Jia sneered, "You are not qualified to say this, Liu Che, a failure in education."
Liu Che was angry.
Give Zhou Jia face.
The officials below were trembling.
In his heart, he begged Zhou Jia to stop talking, otherwise they would be the ones to bear all the wrath.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: [What if this is inappropriate? ]
Zhou Jia was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Before that, I want to ask Li Shimin a question. Wei Zheng is always criticizing you and opposing you in the court. How do you feel?"
Li Shimin didn't know why she suddenly mentioned Wei Zheng, but to be honest, Wei Zheng's frank advice had made him want to kill him many times, but this obviously could not be said directly on the screen.
Zhou Jia didn't wait for his answer and continued talking to himself.
"When I was in school, I read a story about how one day Li Shimin went to Empress Changsun's palace and as soon as he entered the palace, he said that Wei Zheng did not give him face and wanted to kill him. Empress Changsun was shocked and asked him the reason. After Li Shimin explained clearly, Empress Changsun changed into her own queen's court dress and knelt in front of Li Shimin to plead for Wei Zheng. Only then did Li Shimin's anger disappear."
Li Shimin:...
He really didn't expect that Zhou Jia would be exposed directly.
Wei Zheng, who was still in his own house at the time, touched his nose when he heard this.
As a censor, one naturally needs to have the courage and determination to move forward.
"You, Li Shimin, became famous at a young age and are both talented in civil and military affairs. You launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident and ascended to the throne. Even with such a strong psychological endurance, you still couldn't stand the censors' criticism. Then what do you think will happen to Li Chengqian, a child you and Empress Zhangsun have loved since childhood, under the censors' sharp-tongued accusations?"
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"In 640, when Li Chengqian built a house, Yu Zhining criticized him for being too extravagant; when Li Chengqian played with eunuchs, Yu Zhining criticized him again, comparing him to Qin II. Kong Yingda would speak out against Li Chengqian whenever he thought he did something wrong, and Zhang Xuansu would speak out against him all the time, and he was so eager that he wished Li Chengqian would listen to him immediately.
If you look through the history books, you will find that these teachers only blamed Li Chengqian, without a single praise or admiration. The whole book talks about how naughty Li Chengqian was. But is Li Chengqian really that bad?
Don't forget that Li Chengqian was very smart when he was young and he learned things very quickly. How could such a child become useless in the eyes of these censors?
Interestingly, the prince's wet nurse, Lady Suian, once advised Kong Yingda that the prince was old and it was not appropriate to criticize and blame him in person all the time. However, Kong Yingda said that if he did so, "he would have no regrets even if he died." As a result, "his advice was too earnest and Cheng Qian could not accept it."
What’s even more interesting is that Li Shimin would reward any censors who criticized and advised Li Chengqian. So in Li Chengqian’s eyes, did this mean that his father also thought that he was a naughty child like these people?
A child who lost his mother due to a foot disease and began to change psychologically, not only did he not get any recognition from his father, he even had to listen to those people's criticisms and accusations against him every day. His own father gave various rewards to his teacher, and he watched his father pamper his younger brother. With all these things happening at the same time, how could Li Chengqian bear it?
Why did you, Li Shimin, choose to stand with those censors when the child needed his father's love and approval? Together, you became the sharp knife that stabbed Li Chengqian? No matter how painful the censors' attacks were, they would never be as painful as the pain you, Li Shimin, as a father, personally hurt him!
The prince's wet nurse knew how to protect Li Chengqian's face and self-esteem, but what did you, Li Shimin, do? "
Li Shimin's face was pale and his body was shaking.
Zhou Jia chuckled with tears in her eyes.
"I guess some people would say, what do children know? Children need to be beaten and scolded more. Some people would say, if a boy can't even bear these, how can he be the head of the family in the future? Or, they would say, this is how we have taught children since ancient times, and this is how we have been through it. Beating and scolding you is for your own good, why are other children so good, only you are different..."
Her words stopped those people from speaking.
"Not everyone has the same psychological endurance, and not everyone has a strong heart. Some children are psychologically sensitive and will think it is their fault even if someone just looks at them, not to mention the pain that Li Chengqian suffered under the multiple oppressions at the time.
Yes, what Li Chengqian did later was indeed outrageous. He openly visited his male favorites, and after Li Shimin came to power, he established a wife and sent people to offer sacrifices day and night. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was obsessed with Turkic culture. Li Chengqian did have problems in these matters.
By 642, Li Tai's compilation of "Guo Di Zhi" was completed, and Li Shimin included it in the royal library. He even gave him "ten thousand pieces of goods" and rewarded him with large amounts of money every month. It can be said that the rewards exceeded the standards for the crown prince. He also lifted the restrictions on Li Chengqian's use of the treasury. Although he did not abolish Li Chengqian's position as crown prince, he did favor Li Tai more and more, even more than him.
Finally, out of fear of Li Tai, Li Chengqian embarked on the path of rebellion. The rebellion naturally failed. Li Shimin saved Li Chengqian's life, but demoted him to a commoner and moved him to Qianzhou. He died in 644. Li Shimin abolished the court and buried him with the ceremony of a duke. Li Chengqian ended his life, which was not sure whether it was fortunate or unfortunate. "
After hearing this, Li Shimin didn't even have the strength to speak, and his eyes were filled with endless regret and annoyance.
Empress Changsun was even more distressed, as she never imagined that her child would have such an unfortunate future.
"So, everyone, let's talk about whose fault this is."
