Empress Changsun is a famous empress dowager in history. She married Li Shimin when she was in her teens, and since then, the Changsun family has been very favored. She was the most powerful woman before and after Li Shimin became emperor because she achieved something that ordinary women cannot do and cannot bear.
At that time, the Changsun family was almost the most prestigious family, and Li Shimin was highly regarded by Li Yuan. Under the recommendation of his own family, the Changsun family became the king’s woman, accompanying the king like a tiger. Why did the Changsun family last for a long time?
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, when the situation was critical, Empress Changsun won the hearts of Li Shimin, settled the soldiers, and ultimately won the war. How could Li Shimin not put Empress Changsun in the highest position in his heart.
Li Shimin was deeply moved, and the day he became emperor was the day he established Changsun as empress. This is enough to prove the position of Changsun in Li Shimin’s heart. She is talented and intelligent, not only the best virtuous wife, but also the best mother of a country. Li Shimin has no reason not to love her.
After becoming emperor, Li Shimin was inevitably confused about politics. It was Empress Changsun who proposed to value talent and solve Li Shimin’s confusion. Empress Changsun’s behavior has once again added points to Li Shimin’s heart, and she gave birth to three sons and four daughters: Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Li Lizhi, Chengyang, Li Mingda, and Xincheng.
Whether it’s Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or Li Zhi, even in the emperor’s mind, they are not the most suitable candidates. Li Shimin still chose between the three of them, and Li Zhi is the best proof.
Empress Changsun eventually passed away due to illness, at a young and young age. She gave birth to seven children and emptied her body, resulting in exhaustion and exhaustion. She wholeheartedly assisted the emperor, and Li Shimin ultimately created a kingdom belonging to the Tang Dynasty, which could not have been achieved without the assistance of Empress Changsun.
Her intelligence and talent were the most favored reasons, and even if she became the empress, she was diligent and frugal. At that time, many women flew up the branches and turned into phoenixes, wishing to wear gold and silver every day. However, it was not easy for Empress Changsun to be so frugal.
Although she was very talented, she did not interfere too much in court affairs and did not lose her duties as an empress. Becoming a politician and thinker was not without reason. Women can also be very powerful, not only manifested in Empress Wu Zetian, but also in Empress Changsun.
And why didn’t Wu Zetian become the most special person in Li Shimin’s heart? Not because she appeared late, but because she was too strong. Although women need to be stronger, at that time, women were too strong for men to accept, including now. So, do you want to be a woman like Wu Zetian or a woman like Empress Changsun?
