For this reason, our wise and powerful Emperor Taizong, with the help of him, launched the "Xuanwu Gate Palace Incident" brazenly. After that, he was so powerful that he successively deposed, exiled, and even sentenced, sentenced, and punished a large number of Guanlong nobles and wealthy families who were rewarded and granted titles during the reign of Emperor Gaozu.

On the other hand, starting from the 19th year of Zhenguan, he followed the old deeds and wisdom of his cousin, Emperor Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty, and completely destroyed the brutal Jingguan of Goguryeo in order to recover the bodies and bones of tens of thousands of former Sui soldiers who died in the war. For his righteous cause, he decisively and brazenly launched the Liaodong War to conquer Goguryeo.

And the amazing historical coincidences have always been like that, unexpected and extremely similar.

Similar to his "close cousin", the former Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang's three expeditions to Liaodong, Emperor Taizong also launched three consecutive expeditions to Goguryeo.

Although the three expeditions to Goguryeo in Liaodong successively captured Gaimu, Beisha, Liaodong, Xuantu, Baiyan, Hengshan, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang, Momi, and dozens of other important cities, all the territory that Goguryeo had encroached on in the Liaodong region of the Tang Dynasty was recaptured.

And the ruling area of ​​Goguryeo was compressed from the previous Liaoshui River Basin to the Yalu River line.

It also caused heavy losses to the Goguryeo army, and the population of young and strong men in the country was also sharply reduced to a terrifying 30% situation.

It completely changed the Tang Dynasty. The war offensive and defensive situation between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo in Liaodong and Liaoshui areas was severely destroyed and desolate. Goguryeo's national strength, military strength and economic strength were almost shaken. The foundation of Goguryeo's national foundation and establishment of the country.

However, due to the weather, environment, roads, and transportation of food, fodder, and weapons in Liaodong, as well as various problems and reasons, as well as political strife, contradictions, and compromises within the court, these three Liaodong expeditions, which aimed to divide, disintegrate, eliminate, and split the political forces of the Guanlong nobles and Shandong aristocratic families in order to achieve the political purpose of killing two birds with one stone or even killing many birds with one stone, ultimately failed to achieve the political and military strategic goals that Emperor Taizong expected to achieve.

Just when the self-respecting and arrogant Emperor Taizong, who had never and would never give in to his enemies, ambitiously planned, prepared, instigated, planned, and premeditated his fourth national war against Goguryeo, in order to wipe out the two biggest concerns of Emperor Taizong at the moment and before his eyes, completely and thoroughly...

Emperor Taizong, who failed to achieve his ambitions, had to put an unsatisfactory end to his Liaodong conquest and his great move of eliminating the nobles and aristocratic families with his own death.

However, what is most incredible and confusing is that the former Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang and Emperor Taizong, the two uncle and nephew emperors, hated the top noble families and the famous families, and all they thought about every day was to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, when it came to how to choose concubines and enemies, the beauties in the harem and the three thousand beauties in the imperial palace, they made a completely different choice that was completely contrary to their thoughts, obsessions and ideas.

Empress Xiao of the former Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was the legitimate daughter of the famous Lanling Xiao family;

Noble Concubine Xie was the legitimate daughter of the Chenjun Xie family, the top noble family in Guanlong;

Xian Concubine Xiao was also the legitimate daughter of the famous Lanling Xiao family;

Zhaorong Wang was the legitimate daughter of the famous Taiyuan Wang family, who came from the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families;

Jieyu Cui was the legitimate daughter of The legitimate daughter of the Bo Ling Cui family, a prominent family in the Five Surnames and Seven Names...

In the palace of Emperor Taizong, the "Empress Wende" Changsun is the legitimate daughter of the famous Guanlong top-ranking noble family, the Longyou Changsun family;

The head of the four first-rank ladies, Concubine Wei, seems to be a small noble with no reputation compared to the Guanlong noble family and the Five Surnames and Seven Names.

However, the Jingzhao Wei family, whether in terms of reputation, name, or strength and power, will definitely not lose to any top-ranking noble family and famous family.

A proverb circulated among the people, called "Wei Du in the south of the city, five feet away from the sky", can already explain the background, strength, identity and status of the Jingzhao Wei family in the important area of ​​the capital and under the feet of the emperor.

The second-ranked Concubine Yang was from the Hongnong Yang family, a noble family of Guanlong, and was also the legitimate daughter of the Yang royal family of the previous dynasty;

Concubine Yan was a Xianbei noble, whose original surname was Murong and was given the surname Yan. She was the legitimate granddaughter of Yan Rong, the Duke of Luochuan County in the former Sui Dynasty, and was also the aunt's sister of Wu Zhaoyi in the harem of the current emperor;

Concubine Zheng was the legitimate daughter of the Xingyang Zheng family, a famous family of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous;

Xiu Rong Yang was from the Hongnong Yang family, a noble family of Guanlong, and was also the legitimate daughter of the Yang royal family of the previous dynasty;

Concubine Yin was the legitimate daughter of Yin Shishi, the governor of Xijing in the former Sui Dynasty. =Daughter;

Wei Zhaorong, the legitimate daughter of the Jingzhao Wei family;

Wang Jieyu, the legitimate daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, a prominent family of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats;

Xiao Meiren, the legitimate daughter of the Lanling Xiao family;

Cui Meiren, the legitimate daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, a prominent family of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats...

After listing so many of them in a long and voluminous manner, he ultimately failed to clearly list the countless legitimate daughters and beauties, beautiful ladies and powdered girls, who were "treasured" by Emperor Taizong in the imperial palace.

Perhaps out of reform, his Li Tang royal family, the urgent need for genetic bloodlineHis Majesty Emperor Taizong, who was particularly eager and enthusiastic about the importance of choosing concubines for his beloved son Zhinu, the future successor of the Li Tang Dynasty, the Crown Prince Li Zhi.

The family backgrounds of the Crown Princess, concubines, and other wives chosen by His Majesty Emperor Taizong for his Crown Prince Li Zhi are enough to illustrate the complex and contradictory moods and mentality of this ambitious "Heavenly Khan" from the detailed introductions mentioned above.

Just...

It's just that the spirit of Emperor Taizong, who has long been buried in the underground palace of Zhaoling Mausoleum in Jiuyi Mountain, is quite embarrassed and surprised that almost all of the empresses and concubines were carefully selected by him for his beloved son Zhinu, and all of them came from noble families and aristocratic families. However, none of them could help Emperor Li Zhi in the political struggle for supreme power in the Tang Dynasty, which was about to begin vigorously, with the political interest groups represented by the Guanlong noble families and aristocratic families represented by his uncle, Duke Zhao, Sikong, and Taiwei Changsun Wuji, and the political interest groups of the clean scholars from the five surnames and seven names of aristocratic families and aristocratic families.

Not only that, there are even many undercover spies and informants planted among the concubines in the harem by the noble families and famous families!

Now, in the palace of Emperor Li Zhi, the only concubine who can be used by the current emperor, and who is a cunning and cunning concubine with few rivals in terms of scheming, wisdom, means and tricks, is the Wu family talent who was taken into the harem by Emperor Taizong because of her beauty and appearance.

And today, she has become the Wu family Zhaoyi who gave birth to a son, Prince Li Hong, for Emperor Li Zhi.
