Li Lizhi The eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who passed away at the age of 23 due to her beautiful appearance

She was the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and was regarded as the apple of her parents’ eyes. However, she passed away at the age of 23. She is Li Lizhi. Interested friends, let’s take a look with the editor of the History Encyclopedia!
Yesterday, the editor of the History Encyclopedia mentioned that Princess Chengyang, the second daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, was equally favored by Li Shimin because she was born by Empress Changsun. Chengyang’s life was peaceful and smooth, but Li Lizhi was not as lucky as her and passed away shortly in the end.
Princess Changle, Li Lizhi, was born to his beloved wife, Empress Changsun. From her name, it can be seen that Li Shimin regarded her as the apple of his eye, and Li Lizhi was a “natural beauty with an unparalleled beauty”. In the seventh year of the Zhenguan reign (633 AD), at the age of 12, Li Lizhi officially married Changsun Wuji’s son, Changsun Chong, the young minister of Zongzheng. Changsun Wuji was a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, and the Changsun family was very prominent at that time. Therefore, marrying the eldest daughter to the Changsun family was the most suitable choice.
There are few records of Li Lizhi’s deeds after marriage. She was born beautiful, gentle and charming, and had a very harmonious and loving relationship with Changsun Chong. Princess Changle and her husband are harmonious in music and harmony, filial to their parents in law, and live a happy and sweet life. They are also praised by the world for their courteous management of the household.
In the 17th year of the Zhenguan reign, Princess Changle suddenly fell ill and could not be cured for a long time. On September 28th of that year, Princess Changle passed away at the young age of 23. Upon learning of his beloved daughter’s passing, Emperor Taizong of Tang was deeply affected and cried uncontrollably multiple times. In the end, he buried Princess Changle with him in the Zhaoling Mausoleum.
Li Lizhi married Changsun Chong for ten years, but the young couple did not grow old together. Sixteen years after the death of Princess Changle, Changsun Wuji fell from power, and Changsun Chong was exiled to Lingnan and his whereabouts are unknown.
