Who led the affair between Princess Gaoyang, the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and the debating monk?

After the TV series "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" was broadcast by David, the secret love affair between Li Shimin's daughter Princess Gaoyang and Xuanzang's disciples once again became a hot topic after dinner.

The love affair between Princess Gaoyang and Debate Machine has not been confirmed by historians in past dynasties, because it is not recorded in Old Tang Shu, and the only reference is the relevant chapters in New Tang Shu. With the fermentation of various TV series in recent years, this extramarital affair has become more and more confusing.

But:

According to the arrogant character of Princess Gaoyang recorded in the official history, it should be true that Princess Datang fell in love with a monk with both talent and appearance in history.

According to the open world style of the Tang Dynasty empire and the unique family style of the Li family, this relationship has its rationality!

According to the inherent law of Princess Gaoyang's extreme humanity, after the beloved person was beheaded, after the father who loved her passed away, and then lost her bondage and honor, taking monks and Taoists as the first side, or even getting together to conspire against them, all the indulgence of Princess Gaoyang has its inevitability.

Then, from the historical authenticity, the rationality of occurrence and the inevitability of indulgence, it is inferred that Princess Gaoyang is destined to go down in history with a disgraceful role. People can't help asking, who is the deep reason or pusher behind the tragic ending of Princess Gaoyang?

Listen to the author's list.

First of all, the characters introduce Princess Gaoyang.

The 17th daughter of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was born with intelligence. Because she is particularly favored by Li Shimin, she is not only arrogant and willful, but also hates the bondage of ethical codes. She did everything she wanted and went her own way.

However, in feudal society, even small folk women could not completely dominate their own destiny, let alone the royal family. All royal princesses should be prepared to become political chips after enjoying the splendor and limited freedom in the court. In order to prove that Fang was his most trusted courtier and a close comrade-in-arms who had fought for the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong used his favorite daughter as a bargaining chip to balance the relationship with Fang, and betrothed Princess Gaoyang, who was about 12 years old, to the second son of Fang, the founding star at that time. Princess Gaoyang is one of the princesses who got married earlier among the girls of Emperor Taizong.

Love in the past

The Twenty-first Biography of the New Tang Dynasty describes the love of the house legacy in this way, and the birth rate is martial without learning. The second generation of living uneducated officials.

Only brute force, no more outstanding love, is certainly not a man who yearns for lifelong companionship in Princess Gaoyang's mind. Angry Princess Gaoyang has never really accepted her husband psychologically since the day she got married after seeing the final return of her marriage.

Rejecting what you hate doesn't mean you will stop looking for your true love! Historical chance is destined to make a doomed love happen at a certain time!

One sunny day, when Princess Gaoyang was hunting in the territory, she met the monk of the debating machine. The handsomeness and erudition of the debating machine moved the princess. So the princess asked her entourage to carry the tent bed and other appliances into the thatched cottage of the debate machine and called the debate machine in. The dry wood was ignited by the fire. That year, princess 16 years old, debate machine 2 1 years old. What should come will come eventually! What should happen will happen eventually.

Princess Gaoyang, who is deeply in love, is increasingly unable to extricate herself. Dating naturally became a commonplace, and such a wonderful time lasted for six years! What is commendable is that Kong Wu's strong love for his wife embraces everything they do. Sometimes, he even sent away all his entourage and stood at the door of the debate machine, staring at his wife. Sometimes Fang loves to come forward and often calls the debate machine into the house. It's really a big belly that can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world! Afterwards, in order to repay her generosity, the princess gave him two beautiful young ladies-in-waiting, and often spoke well of her husband in front of Taizong. On the surface, husband and wife love each other, but in private, they really live in harmony. Princess Gaoyang and the loving couple who have a house can be regarded as a model against feudal arranged marriage!

Who is the debate machine? There are not many records about the debating machine in the official history. He is a monk of Xuanzang Gaojiao Huichang Temple. At the end of the volume of "Records of the Western Regions of Datang", there is a self-introduction of the debater, saying that he inherited the lineage of a hermit from his distant ancestors, was eager to learn since childhood, and became a monk at the age of fifteen.

Second, paper can't wrap fire. At the end of Zhenguan, a thief was caught on Chang 'an Street. The stolen goods seized are quite special. It is a gorgeous and luxurious jade pillow for women wearing gold and silver ornaments. This is not for ordinary people. After a severe trial, the thief confessed that the jade pillow was stolen from the room of a Saman in Hongfu Temple. This Saman is a debating monk. At this time, the debating machine is engaged in his translation work at Hongfu Temple.

If the thief stole the incense burner or stationery, no one would doubt it, but the luxurious jade pillow for women is not a little worse than the monk's life. Yu Shitai immediately summoned the debate machine to ask. At first, the debate machine was tough and firm, but under the clever and rigorous interrogation, he finally couldn't hide it. Frankly speaking, it was a gift from Princess Gaoyang herself.

Third, escape feelings In the process of communicating with the debating machine, Princess Gaoyang has always been a positive, enthusiastic and infatuated party. Compared with the happiness she got in love, the debating machine may struggle much more painfully, because we can guess from the historical data that the debating machine was dedicated to Buddhism, and according to the open world style of Datang at that time, he could completely choose secularism.

There is no excuse for secularization. During the six years of contact with Princess Gaoyang, we should try our best to let Levin leave us or let ourselves leave Princess Gaoyang-after all, it is a wise choice for others and ourselves.

The opportunity has finally come. When Xuanzang returned from the Western Heaven, he used more than 20 horses to learn Buddhist scriptures, all of which were in Sanskrit. After Xuanzang reported to Emperor Taizong for approval, he recruited the best monks in temples all over the country. * * * translated these scriptures, and Xuanzang * * * recruited nine people from Huichang Temple in Chang 'an, including debating machine.

Because of the translation of classics, the debating machine should live in Hongfu Temple. On the last date, when leaving, Princess Gaoyang presented a jade pillow. The debating machine brought this priceless jade pillow into Hongfu Temple, thus laying a curse.

I haven't seen Princess Gaoyang since the debating machine that escaped from my feelings was selected to translate the scriptures. During this period, he turned to Buddha and made great achievements. The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang, which was circulated in later generations, was written by Xuanzang eloquently, while the translation of the Yoga Teacher's Theory of Land (5 1 80) became a masterpiece of eloquence.
