Xue Shao is not well-known in history. As a son of the royal family, he is handsome and handsome, but he is calm, courteous and low-key. He is a relatively honest and sincere young man who works as an official in the court. Although the position is not high, the development prospect is very good.
When I first married Princess Taiping, the wedding was grand and sensational. After marriage, the two people get along very well and their lives are quiet and peaceful.
But as a royal family, it is really difficult to live a comfortable and peaceful life. After Xue Shao and Princess Taiping lived a happy life for seven years, bad luck came. Xue Shao's eldest brother was executed by Wu Zetian for supporting the rebellion of Li Chong, the son of the imperial clan in the Tang Dynasty. Although Xue Shao did not participate, he was also implicated in the unjust case, was punished by the war, was put in prison, and eventually starved to death in prison. Unfortunately, as an outsider, Xue Shao lost his life because of an accident.
Princess Taiping remarried to Wu Zetian's cousin two years after Xue Shao's death. From then on, she changed her gentle character of living alone with Xue Shao and embarked on the same road as her mother Wu Zetian. Relying on the love of her parents and brothers, she was arrogant and extravagant, fighting for power and profit, and controlling the court. Finally, he was defeated in the battle with Tang Xuanzong's nephew, was arrested by Tang Xuanzong, and died at home.
As a brilliant young man, Xue Shao could have lived a happy life normally, but he was involved in it because of his complicated relationship with the royal family, and finally became a victim of political struggle.
In addition to the identity of Princess Xu, Xue Shao was born in a noble family. His mother is the daughter of Emperor Taizong and his eldest grandson, who is the youngest son of Princess Chengyang, Tang Gaozong's half-sister, and cousin of Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping married Xue Shao when she was sixteen. The wedding was grand and their married life was sweet. This is Princess Taiping's first marriage and her favorite Xu. Therefore, in this marriage, Princess Taiping and Xue Shao lived in peace, and they had two sons and two daughters: the eldest son Xue Chongxun, the second son Xue Chongjian, the eldest daughter Shi Xue, and the second daughter Shi Xue, Wanquan Princess.
Unfortunately, this beautiful marriage didn't last long. In 688 AD, Li Chong, the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty, sent troops to crusade against Wu Zetian. Ai Xue, Xue Shao's eldest brother, was involved and was executed by Wu Zetian. Although Xue Shao knew nothing about it, he was implicated. At the pleading of Princess Taiping, Xue Shao was punished with sticks and eventually starved to death in prison.
In fact, from beginning to end, Xue Shao is an innocent person. His marriage with Princess Taiping was rejected by Wu Zetian from the beginning, and his brother Ai Xue took part in the crusade against Wu Zetian, but he was finally dragged into trouble. None of this seems to be what he wants. If Wu Zetian likes this Xu, there is nothing to bypass him, but the ultimate goal of Wu Zetian sitting together this time is to get rid of this Xu.
