"Princess Xuanhuai is the legitimate daughter of Emperor Sejong and Empress Wu, and the youngest. She was smart and smart since she was a child, and was deeply loved by the two saints. Later, Sejong died and Empress Wu ascended the throne as the empress. Princess Xuanhuai also reached adulthood. The empress then decided to marry her off to Wei Yunli, the Marquis of Anping."
Li Taiping paused for a moment, and seeing that Zhao Xun was listening attentively, he continued: "The Marquis of Anping, Wei Yunli, has mediocre qualifications, but one advantage is that he is honest and never causes trouble. In addition, he is also a noble man from Guanzhong, so She is barely worthy of Princess Xuanhuai."
"But Princess Xuanhuai is not satisfied with this marriage, right?"
Zhao Xun continued.
"how do you know?"
Li Taiping was obviously surprised. These were royal secrets. How could Zhao Xun know them so well?
"My guess."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly in his heart. He did guess, but it was not a baseless guess.
Generally speaking, children who grow up in a honey pot will have an arrogant personality. In addition, with the status of Princess Xuanhuai, she is bound to have a high self-esteem and be arrogant about everything.
When the empress chose her consort, she must have considered political interests and wanted to win over people's hearts with the help of a marriage.
This is also the reason why Webster, the representative of Lao Guanzhong Xungui, was selected.
In other words, in the face of political interests, even the happiness of her beloved daughter is of no importance to the empress.
Political marriages were so common in feudal dynasties, and Princess Xuanhuai, who was born in an imperial family, must also understand.
If Wei Yunli was capable and promising, his life would be manageable.
But this Wei Yunli is an honest person, probably the kind of honest person who can't beat him with three sticks.
Such people are often given a good guy card after being played by the green tea bitch in later generations, let alone the Great Zhou Dynasty in the feudal dynasty.
Zhao Xun once heard a saying that he thought made sense. The world is a dangerous place, and boys must be motivated and learn to protect themselves.
However, the consort Wei Yunli had neither.
First of all, he is an honest man, and probably all he thinks about all day long is to eat and die.
Secondly, his wife is a princess, so she must be submissive and swallow it into her stomach after breaking her teeth.
Under such circumstances, how could the arrogant Princess Xuanhuai be satisfied? She must have regarded Wei Yunli as a loser and wanted to kick him out of Chang'an City.
"Yes, Princess Xuanhuai is very dissatisfied with the marriage, but it's a done deal, and she can't reconcile with her consort Wei Yunli. No matter what, the royal family's face must be preserved. Therefore, Princess Xuanhuai has many faces in the palace. He and his consort are inseparable from each other."
When Li Taiping said this, he noticed that Zhao Xun's expression was a little strange, and he quickly asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhao Xun screamed in his heart at this moment, as ten thousand alpacas roared past.
Wouldn’t all the princesses of the Zhou Dynasty like to have noodle heads? What should the consort think about raising a rich man in the house so blatantly?
This is no longer a matter of cuckoldry. There is a green prairie above your head.
The dissolute nature must be engraved in the bones of the Li family...
Bah, bah, bah, how can we give a general overview and replace the whole with a partial one?
At least his future wife Li Taiping won't be like this.
Well, right, wife?
"I'm fine. Your Majesty, please continue..."
Li Taiping nodded and continued: "The prince-in-law didn't say much at first, but one time he went to see Princess Xuanhuai and found Princess Xuanhuai and several other ministers lying on the bed, and his face suddenly turned pale. The breath passed. Princess Xuanhuai was shocked and quickly called for the imperial doctor. However, the consort Wei Yunli was not lucky, and he was already dead when the imperial doctor arrived with the medicine box."
Damn it, Zhao Xun felt very sorry for Wei's consort after hearing this.
He was obviously an honest man, but he didn't do any bad things, and yet he was cheated on by his wife. From the first day of junior high school to the fifteenth day, he played with her in different ways every day, but couldn't do anything. She could only swallow her anger, break her teeth, and swallow it.
What this prince-in-law did was really too miserable.
If you hang up, just hang up. At least you don't have to suffer anymore.
Zhao Xun once read a joke, saying that the three most miserable and difficult professions in ancient times were imperial master, consort, and eunuch, in no particular order.
These three types of people have one thing in common, which is that they have given up their dignity as a man.
Except for a few exceptions with strong personalities such as the eternal prime minister Zhang Juzheng, the drunken man Guo Nuan, and the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, most of the emperor's masters, eunuchs, and consorts lived in fear, walking on thin ice in the abyss, for fear of being killed by an accident. disaster.
Prince Consort Wei indeed deserves sympathy.
Of course, as a melon-eater, Zhao Xun is now more concerned about the follow-up.
"What happened next?"
"later..."
Li Taiping paused and said, "Later, the empress became furious and ordered the execution of hundreds of honorable ministers raised by Princess Xuanhuai, and forced Princess Xuanhuai to enter a Taoist temple to teach and practice."
Damn it, Zhao Xun couldn't help it when he heard this.
This Princess Xuanhuai really went too far. She raised mianshou just as much as she raised them, and she even raised more than a hundred at one go. It was really not easy for Prince Consort Wei to be able to hold on for so long before he was so angry that he died.
Sure enough, there were only exhausted cows and no damaged land.
However, the empress's approach was ruthless, forcing her daughter to become a nun. Even though she was practicing as a nun, she was still a nun.
"The relationship between the empress and Princess Xuanhuai has been very bad since then. Until the death of Princess Xuanhuai, the empress did not even take a look."
Damn it, this empress has such a cold personality. Sure enough, kings who can achieve great things are cold-blooded animals.
"When did Princess Xuanhuai pass away?"
Zhao Xun wants to know more clues.
Li Taiping thought about it carefully and said: "The thirteenth year of the Apocalypse... No, it was the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse. However, out of anger, the empress did not incorporate the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai into the Tailing Tomb of Emperor Sejong as a burial tomb. The coffin was buried alone in the Fanchuan Tombs between Shaolingyuan and Shenheyuan in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City. This is mostly the resting place for clan members who made mistakes or fell out of favor."
The fifteenth year of the Apocalypse... It has been almost sixty years ago.
Zhao Xun murmured: "So, it has been more than fifty years since Princess Xuanhuai was buried, and the tomb keeper must have died of old age. Since it is not a tomb buried with the imperial mausoleum, the daily attention is not high, so after the tomb was stolen, the court We didn’t discover it right away, it was a monk from the Zen Sutra Temple who discovered it and informed the government.”
"what are you saying?"
Li Taiping looked confused.
"I'm analyzing the case."
Zhao Xun thought carefully and said: "Princess Xuanhuai cannot be buried with the imperial mausoleum after her death. The subsequent emperors, including His Majesty, have no intention of moving Princess Xuanhuai's tomb and incorporating it into Tailing. The tomb robbers must have taken a fancy to this. That’s when we decided to rob the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai. If it’s a tomb accompanying the emperor’s mausoleum, they wouldn’t dare to rob it even if I gave them ten courages.”
As for Emperor Xianlong, he ordered the bad guys to investigate the case thoroughly out of royal dignity, and he himself was not too cold towards this aunt.
