Chapter 124: Princess Pingyang Zhao

"It's the third sister."

As soon as Wu Wu said the princess of the military funeral, Li Shimin thought of Princess Pingyang, he was excited, and said repeatedly: "It must be the third sister." ”

The smile on Empress Eldest Sun's face faded.

Speaking of Princess Pingyang, her mood also became complicated.

Thinking of Princess Pingyang's demeanor and the cause of her death, Empress Changsun couldn't say how depressed she was.

Then, Wu Wu confirmed Li Shimin's guess.

"The first thing we want to talk about is Princess Pingyang Zhao, the third daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the sister of Taizong Li Shimin, when it comes to Princess Pingyang Zhao, I can't help but sigh Li Yuan's good life."

"How so? Others can't hope for an excellent child, but if there is one, there must be thousands of treasures, but Li Yuan's children are all very powerful, but he doesn't know how to cherish them. ”

"If Princess Pingyang is the daughter of the First Emperor, I don't know how happy the First Emperor is, but she came to Li Yuan's ......"

"I'm angry when I mention this, let's not talk about this, let's talk about Princess Pingyang's exploits first."

"Now there is a Niangziguan in Shanxi, the name of Niangziguan is because of the princess of Pingyang, in the thirteenth year of the Sui Daye, Li Yuan decided to raise troops, and before he started the army, he asked people to send a message to his daughter and son-in-law Chai Shao, who was still in Chang'an, telling them that your father was going to raise troops, and you had to come quickly. When Chai Shao got the letter, he told Princess Pingyang that your father is going to raise troops, and I am going to go over to help, and it will definitely not work for the two of us to leave together, but if I go by myself, what can you do if you are in danger? ”

Speaking of worry-free, many people are worried about Princess Pingyang.

"Yes, Princess Pingyang is a woman's family, and she is in Chang'an, and she is fighting together, and the officers and soldiers here will definitely arrest her, and she will be in danger at that time."

"It's true, I just don't know how she's going to get there."

"Why don't you go with Chai Shao?"

"Alas, men make meritorious achievements, but women are still suffering."

Wuwu couldn't help laughing: "Our princess Pingyang is different, she said to Chai Shao at the time, you just have to go with you, I'm a woman who puts on makeup when the time comes, can't you just find a place to hide?" Then Chai Shao left, after Chai Shao left, Princess Pingyang didn't hide, the woman disguised herself as a man and assumed the name Li Gongzi to the Li family's manor, and after the past, she sold her wealth to recruit troops and horses, and soon pulled up a team of hundreds of people. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm bold."

"No wonder the fairy said she was amazing, she was really powerful."

"Men don't dare to do that."

"Do you think a team of a few hundred people will satisfy Princess Pingyang? No, it can't be. Princess Pingyang contacted the rebels everywhere against Sui, and in three months, the ranks of the people snowballed and grew, from hundreds to tens of thousands, of which there were tens of thousands of people under Hu Shang He Panren alone, Princess Pingyang asked Ma Sanbao to persuade He Panren to surrender, and I don't know what Ma Sanbao said, He Panren, who was more powerful than Princess Pingyang at that time, was really willing to be Princess Pingyang's subordinates, and after that, Princess Pingyang subdued Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other rebels. ”

"During this period, the court also continued to send teams to attack Princess Pingyang, and Princess Pingyang's commanders defeated the court army more than once, and soon attacked Huxian, Zhouzhi, and Shiping."

"Princess Pingyang is the commander-in-chief, and the team led by her is strictly disciplined, and the order must be carried out, and many people support Princess Pingyang, calling her Li Niangzi, and calling the team she brings as the Women's Army. The women's army is famous, many people come to defect, Sui general Qu Tutong suffered several defeats under the princess, and Princess Pingyang's military intuition and command can be called a genius. ”

"In 617 AD, when Li Yuan crossed the Yellow River into Guanzhong, his daughter Princess Pingyang had already laid a large territory for him, and when Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin's team met, they began to attack Chang'an, and when they attacked Chang'an, Princess Pingyang also made great contributions."

"Taking Chang'an, Li Yuan is equivalent to controlling the Guanzhong region, but the campaign is not over, there are still many enemies around, and Li Shimin's commander's campaign took more than two years to sweep away these forces, Princess Pingyang stayed in the Li family's base camp and stationed in Shanxi's Niangzi Pass, and for more than two years, she guarded the traffic arteries into Shanxi and stabilized Shanxi and Guanzhong."

"It can be said that Princess Pingyang has made great contributions to Li Tang Jiangshan, but after the country is stable, there is no news of the princess, and when I hear it again, it is the news of the princess's death."

"Princess Pingyang was called Zhao after her death, she was the only princess with a nickname, and she was also buried with a military salute, which can be said to be a supreme glory."

"However, we have to think about the fact that since Princess Pingyang can fight well, it means that she is in good health and has no disease, but why did she die six years after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty? What's going on here? ”

"Moreover, a female god of war like Princess Pingyang has not left a name in history, and there are very few records of her in the history books, what is the reason for this?"

"How the hell did she die? Why is there no name? ”

"Who is jealous of her?"

Worry-free questions were thrown out one by one, and many people who asked changed their faces.

During the Zhenguan period, it was not a long time since the princess died, and most of the ministers knew Princess Pingyang.

Li Shimin looked at the sky, and tears couldn't help but fall.

While wiping his tears, he said: "Let the historian record the name of Princess Pingyang in the history books, and the princess's exploits should be recorded in detail." ”

"I guess it's just because Princess Pingyang is a woman, so no matter how much credit she makes, no matter how powerful her military talent is, in the end she will be forced to leave everything in the army, and be in the small world of the back house like an ordinary woman, managing those trivial affairs that she doesn't like all day long."

"But why?"

"She has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, why didn't she pay homage to the king? Just because she's a woman? are all Li Yuan's children, Li Yuanji can be crowned king, and they all have all kinds of powers, but the princess doesn't? Is that fair? ”

"And the princess is not in the back house, forcing an eagle like her to break her wings and become a house sparrow, how uncomfortable does she feel?"

"It's no wonder that he died in just six years, I'm afraid he died of depression."

"If not, why aren't the history books recorded?"

"I have to say here, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan really doesn't know how to cherish it, he obviously has such a good daughter, but he still has to wronged her, it is said that Li Yuan is different from other princesses to Princess Pingyang, and he has always rewarded more than other princesses, but is this the main thing for Princess Pingyang?"

"And everyone should also think about it, she can fight with people on the battlefield, and rarely lose, what can she do after returning to the back house? is to go out to socialize, what can she talk about with others? And what do those princesses, princesses, and wives think of her? Will it chew the root of the tongue behind your back? ”

"The princess has no interests, her heart is depressed and she can't speak to anyone, she has no friends in the boudoir who can talk to her, and her husband and father don't understand her, and they try their best to restrain her.

The more carefree he talked, the more excited he became.

She really felt that Li Yuan was very unfair to Princess Pingyang.

"Rao is like this, after the princess died, Li Yuan proposed to bury her with military salutes, and there were still many people who objected at that time, saying that it was not in line with the etiquette for women to use drums...... I'll just ......"

Worry-free couldn't help but burst into a few foul words: "Why is it incompatible with etiquette?" What happened to women? Why don't you say that it is not in line with etiquette when people fight the country? Now that the country is stable, you one by one will jump out and judge Princess Pingyang with what three outlines and five constants, I have to ask, how big is your face? Who are you to judge like that? ”

The phrase worry-free made many people blush.

There is a pedantic can't help but say: "Throughout the ages, there is indeed no ......"

Someone next to him retorted with a smile: "Come on, what has been going on through the ages, I'm afraid it was all set by you pedantic people, didn't the fairy say, Shang Shi women also led troops to fight everywhere, people not only fought battles, but also presided over sacrifices and government affairs, why did it come to the ceremony at that time?" ”

"How a person's merits are, not a few pedantic people can judge, the people have their own conclusions, although Princess Pingyang did not leave a name, but, because she got her name Niangziguan has not been renamed for thousands of years, until more than a thousand years later, people mention Niangziguan, can still think of Princess Pingyang stationed here, will also admire the princess's deeds, and admire the princess's demeanor."
