Who is Li Jiancheng’s wife? What contributions did she make to her husband throughout her life? Interested readers and history encyclopedia editors, let’s take a look together!
As the empress in the harem, Empress Changsun gained recognition from other women throughout her life. She devoted all her energy to the emperor throughout her life. As the younger sister of Changsun Wuji, she married Li Shimin at a very young age. Changsun Wuji values his character and believes that he will definitely become a capable person in the future, but he never expected it. With the help of numerous soldiers, he made many contributions on the battlefield. His reputation had already surpassed that of the Crown Prince, and he later won the battle among his brothers and became the ruler of the Tang Dynasty. Empress Changsun often served Li Yuan by his side in order to help her husband avoid his father’s suspicion at that time. Saying some kind words about her husband helped Li Yuan dispel his suspicion of him. When launching the war, she came up with many ideas for Li Shimin. Encouraging the soldiers around her to make contributions to Li Shimin, her actions have touched many people. Therefore, later generations believed that the success of the emperor was inseparable from such a virtuous empress.
In life, as a wife, she is able to take care of the emperor wholeheartedly, regardless of her position in the harem. She doesn’t take other concubines seriously. As the master of the harem, she has a tolerant heart and can tolerate Li Shimin’s favoritism towards other concubines. In addition, they also have their own opinions in politics. I have repeatedly advised the emperor to follow the advice of his ministers. The reason why Li Shimin was able to leave an impression of valuing ministers in history is inseparable from her later advice. There are not many such virtuous queens in history, and she is one of them. Before her death, she still maintained the diligence and simple tradition of her life. I don’t want the rulers to spend too much money, and I also hope that my husband can make the governance of the Tang Dynasty better and better.
Compared to such a accomplished woman, Li Jiancheng’s wife appears relatively humble. His wife’s name is Zheng Guanyin. She was a typical gentle and kind woman, serving as the crown princess of the dynasty at that time. She maintained a kind character and was loved by Li Yuan. When Li Yuan went to war on the battlefield and Li Jiancheng was responsible for handling major affairs in the court, she was able to assist her husband in handling court affairs. Continuously improving her abilities and learning all political knowledge, even with her assistance, Li Jiancheng did not escape Li Shimin’s knife and ultimately ended up in a tragic fate. Compared to Empress Changsun, she did not make any contribution to Li Jiancheng in the sibling dispute. On the contrary, Li Jiancheng’s concubine, Chang Fei, made some contributions to him, but in the end, it did not change the result of Li Jiancheng’s murder.
After Li Jiancheng’s death, Li Shimin obeyed his wife’s words and killed the biological sons of his brother and younger brother in order not to pose a threat to his future life. As a crown princess during the Tang Dynasty, both her husband and son were killed, leaving only a few daughters behind. She has a deep affection for her husband and has never remarried in her life. Not every man has a talented wife behind him to help. As a ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was honored to have such a good wife. The life experience of Empress Changsun set an example for other concubines. Leaving a great impression on future generations, do you think that the two brothers faced different endings in the war of fratricide, and have anything to do with their wives behind them
