The love tragedy of Princess Taiping and Xue Shao: a lifetime of happiness destroyed by a strong mother

She is the youngest daughter of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and the empress Wu Zetian , and has been loved by her parents and elder brothers since she was a child. She is incomparably rich and powerful, and is known as "the princess who almost owns the world".


As Wu Zetian's daughter, she would like to meet the wind and rain, but her mother destroyed her originally happy life. Even if she has an incomparably noble status and is fond of her, she cannot accompany her loved ones until old age.

If life could start all over again, she only wished not to be Wu Zetian's daughter in her next life.


Refused to live in a Taoist temple


Taiping is her Taoist name, 8-year-old Xiao Taiping prayed for the deceased grandmother Rongguo Mrs. Yang, and became a female Taoist priest A nominal monk, she still lives carefree in the palace.

Perhaps because of the debt to the eldest daughter, Wu Zetian poured all his mother's love into this young daughter.


In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (679), when Tubo sent messengers to propose marriage, and asked to marry Princess Taiping . Wu Zetian was reluctant to let his beloved daughter marry and marry, but he could not refuse directly. In order to avoid marriage, Wu Zetian built the Taiping Temple for her to live in, and officially became a monk, so the Tibetans had no choice but to give up.


Beginning of Love, Princess Thinking of Marriage


A few years later, Princess Taiping danced in front of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu in the costume of a military attache. Tang Gaozong and Empress Wu laughed when they saw this: "You can't be a military officer, why do you want to do this?"

The princess replied: "Is it okay to give it to the concubine?"

Tang Gaozong immediately understood that he knew Princess Taiping the intention,It's really a girl who doesn't stay in college. After careful selection, I finally found a good son-in-law.


As a princess, a marriage contract is a political marriage. But her Princess Taiping is different from other princesses. She doesn't have to be a victim of political marriage with her relatives, and she can still marry a good husband.


At that time, she felt that this life can really be like her name: safe and smooth, and his wife lived a peaceful life.


Who is Xue Shao, the chosen concubine?


He is of noble birth, his father Xue Kuan Shenyu Huijie, high standard and eloquent, quite talented. The mother Chengyang Princess is the daughter of Tang Taizong and eldest grandson . She is also the sister of Tang Gaozong and the aunt of Princess Taiping. And he himself is born with a face like a crown of jade, not to Pan An , the princess is also unparalleled in appearance, talented and beautiful, and a pair of beautiful people.


A grand wedding


In AD 681 (the second year of Yonglong, the first year of Kaiyao), the 16-year-old Princess Taiping married Xue Shao, the nephew of Tang Gaozong.

This kiss-on-marriage marriage is a good story in the eyes of the world. For the princess, the two childhood sweethearts finally had a good result.

History records: "The Wannian County is faked as a wedding hall, the gates cannot accommodate Zhai cars, and some divisions destroy the walls to enter.

Wannian county government office could not accommodate the princess' luxurious wedding car, so the officials of the Second Holy Order demolished the wall of Wannian county government office.The trees on both sides of the road were already charred.


Misfortunes come and the world is forever separated


After their marriage, Princess Taiping and her consort Xue Shaoqin lived in love with each other. They have two sons and two daughters together.


But such a happy life came to an abrupt end in the seventh year after their marriage. It was not a seven-year itch, but a disaster.


Xue Yi participated in the rebellion of the Tang clan Li Chong, implicated Xue Shao, and Xue Yi was executed. Although Wu Zetian knew in her heart that Xue Shao had nothing to do with this rebellion, she did not intend to let Xue Shao go.

Princess Taiping's youngest son was just a month old, and she begged her mother to forgive the child's father for the sake of the young child. Wu Zetian did not kill him immediately, but charged Xue Shao with a hundred staff and put him in prison. The husband was only temporarily saved his life.


Can Wu Zetian really forgive Xue Shao? She thought that what her daughter entrusted to her was inhuman and married the wrong husband. In the end, she did not let Xue Shao go, and the concubine starved to death in prison.


Wu Zetian's actions caused Princess Taiping to lose her husband and the children to lose their fathers. At this point, Princess Taiping gradually understood.


In the face of political interests, the mother-daughter family relationship is vulnerable. Without power, even if you are a princess, you will inevitably become a victim. Even his beloved husband can't protect him. No matter how much she begged, what she got in return was Xue Shao's whole body.


The memories of the past are like a lifetime. The grand wedding in the past was nothing but a dream. Now that I woke up from the dream, all the happiness disappeared.

Since then, she and her concubine are separated from each other, and can no longer continue to linger. Since then, the princess' temperament has changed greatly.The thirst for power has also grown secretly, and has since embarked on a road of no return.


Politically, Wu Zetian is undoubtedly very good. But as a mother, she was derelict. In order to achieve her political goals, she personally ruined the happiness of her daughter's life.


Although afterwards, in order to comfort her daughter, Wu Zetian broke the practice of Princess Tang's food closure of no more than 350 households, and increased her closure to 1,200 households. Without Xue Shaotaiping, he would become a body without a soul, and no amount of compensation would help.


The Princess Taiping, who only wanted to be a good wife and a good mother, was dead, and the Princess Taiping who stirred up the situation in the court was born.
