The princess who married off as a princess has a tomb size similar to that of an emperor. Interested readers and history encyclopedia editors should take a look together!
This princess is the only princess in Chinese history whose tomb is crowned as a “tomb”, with a size equivalent to that of an emperor.
Li Xianhui, the third daughter born to Empress Wei, was the granddaughter of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and Empress Wu Zetian. She passed away in 701 AD at the young age of 17. After his father Li Xian returned to the Eastern Palace, he married Wu Yanji, the eldest son of Wu Chengsi, as a princess.
Regarding the death of Princess Yongtai, in the “Zizhi Tongjian: Empress Tian Shun Sheng”, it is stated that “the Empress Dowager was in high spirits during the Spring and Autumn period, and many political affairs were entrusted to Zhang Yi’s brother. Shao Wang Chongrun and his sister Yongtai County Princess and son-in-law Wei Wang Wuyanji secretly discussed her matter, and Yi sued the Empress Dowager. In September of Renshen, the Empress Dowager was forced to commit suicide.
According to historical records, Princess Yongtai was killed by Empress Wu Zetian because she was dissatisfied with the arrogance and tyranny of her grandmother’s male pets Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. According to the epitaph, Li Xianhui, who was pregnant, died due to difficult childbirth.
After the restoration of Emperor Zhongzong, Li Xianhui was posthumously awarded the title of Princess Yongtai, and her burial was changed from ritual to tomb, with the name Tomb as Tomb. The greatest sorrow and glory, as well as the premature death of life, are not without reason. All of this constitutes the unfortunate life of this young girl.
Princess Yongtai, in fact, during her lifetime, she was just Princess Yongtai. Whether it’s a princess or a princess, whether it’s a tomb or a tomb. 17-year-old Li Xianhui wouldn’t even know that if she had a spirit after death, she would only want to be with her husband and children. Sweeping away the dust of history and dispelling the distant drum noise, thousands of years later, we seem to still see the dim and sorrowful mood of Li Xian as a father.
