平陽昭公主，太穆皇后所生，下嫁柴紹。 初，高祖兵興，主居長安，紹曰：“尊公將以兵清京師，我欲往，恐不能偕，奈何？ ”主曰：“公行矣，我自為計。 ”紹詭道走并州，主奔鄠，發家貲招南山亡命，得數百人以應帝。 於是，名賊何潘仁壁司竹園，殺行人，稱總管，主遣家奴馬三寶喻降之，共攻鄠阝。 別部賊李仲文、向善誌、丘師利等各持所領會戲下，因略地盩厔、武功、始平，下之。 乃申法誓眾，禁剽奪，遠近鹹附，勒兵七萬，威振關中。 帝度河，紹以數百騎並南山來迎，主引精兵萬人與秦王會渭北。 紹及主對置幕府，分定京師，號“娘子軍”。 帝即位，以功給賚不涯。 武德六年薨，葬加前後部羽葆、鼓吹、大路、麾幢、虎賁、甲卒、班劍。 太常議：“婦人葬，古無鼓吹。 ”帝不從，曰：“鼓吹，軍樂也。 往者主身執金鼓，參佐命，於古有邪？ 宜用之。”
Princess Pingyang the Illustrious, daughter of Empress Taimu, married Chai Shao. When Gaozu first took up arms, the princess stayed in Chang'an. Chai Shao said, "Your father is marching to clear the capital. I want to join him, but I doubt we can go together—what should we do?" " The princess replied, "Go ahead—I will see to myself." " Shao slipped away by a roundabout route to Bingzhou. The princess fled to Hu, spent the family fortune to rally fugitives from the Zhongnan hills, and raised several hundred men to support the emperor. The famous bandit He Panren had fortified Sizhu Garden, murdered travelers, and proclaimed himself commander. The princess sent her retainer Ma Sanbao to win him over, and they jointly attacked Hu. Other rebel leaders—Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Shili—each brought their forces to rally under her at Huixi, then overran Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping. She imposed discipline on the troops, forbade looting, and won adherents from far and near until she fielded seventy thousand men, her prestige shaking all of Guanzhong. When the emperor crossed the Yellow River, Chai Shao came with several hundred riders along the southern hills to meet him, while the princess led ten thousand elite troops to join the Prince of Qin north of the Wei. Chai Shao and the princess established separate command posts to secure the capital together, and their force was known as the "Lady's Army." After the emperor's accession, he heaped rewards on her without end for her achievements. She died in Wude 6. Her funeral was granted front and rear escorts with feather banners, martial music, the imperial processional road, command pennants, tiger guards, armored troops, and ceremonial swords. The Minister of Ceremonies objected: "Women's funerals in antiquity did not use martial music." " The emperor refused and said, "Martial music is military music. The princess herself once wielded gongs and drums and helped win the throne—was there ever such a precedent? It is right to use it.

Princess Changle married Zhao Gui. She bore a daughter who became consort to the Prince of Zhou; Wu Zetian had her killed. Zhao Gui was removed as prefect of Kuozhou and exiled to Shou. When Prince Zhen of Yue prepared to rise in arms, he wrote Zhao Gui asking free passage, and Gui was ready to agree. The princess sent the messenger back with word: "Tell the prince for me—let him advance, do not turn him away." If the princes are truly men of spirit, they should not have waited in hiding this long. When the Yang seized Zhou, Yuwen Jiong—only a kinsman of that house—still rallied the Turks and shook the empire. You are the dynasty's closest kin, the pillars of the state—if you will not die for the right, what are you waiting for? A minister who shares the nation's danger is loyal; one who does not is a traitor. Princes, exert yourselves." " When the prince was defeated, Zhou Xing charged Gui and the princess with conspiracy, and both were executed. Emperor Taizong had twenty-one daughters.

Princess Xiangcheng married Xiao Rui. Filial and harmonious by nature, she observed propriety in all things, and the emperor told the other princesses to take her as their example. When officials reported she was building a separate mansion, she refused: "A wife serves her parents-in-law as her own parents—in another house I could not attend them morning and evening." " She merely repaired her old house and placed paired halberds at the gate—nothing more. After Rui's death she married Jiang Jian. She died in Yonghui 2. Gaozong mourned her in the hall of titled ladies, sent Vice Minister Qiu Xingyan post-haste to offer rites, and had her interred at Zhaoling.

Princess Changle married Zhangsun Chong. Because she was the daughter of Empress Zhangsun, the emperor ordered her dowry prepared at twice the amount given a chief princess. Wei Zheng said, "When Emperor Ming of Han enfeoffed his sons, he declared, 'How can my sons rank with my father's sons?'" ' A chief princess, then, outranks an ordinary princess. The regulations set ranks apart—how can we overstep them? " The emperor told the empress. She said, "I knew you honored Wei Zheng but not why. Hearing him now, I see he keeps the princess within right measure—he is a true servant of the realm." Even I, your wife, must read your mood before I speak—how much harder for a subject, divided from you by rank and ritual, to risk your displeasure with honest counsel! Please grant his request and show the realm you hold the public good above private favor. " The emperor was delighted and immediately sent forty bolts of silk and four hundred thousand cash to Wei Zheng's home as a reward.

城陽公主，下嫁杜荷，坐太子承乾事誅，又嫁薛瓘。 初，主之婚，帝使卜之，繇曰：“二火皆食，始同榮，末同戚，請晝昏則吉。 ”馬周諫曰：“朝謁以朝，思相戒也； 講習以晝，思相成也； 燕飲以昃，思相歡也； 婚合以夜，思相親也。 故上下有成，內外有親，動息有時，吉兇有儀。 今先亂其始，不可為也。 夫卜所以決疑，若黷禮慢先，聖人所不用。 ”帝乃止。 麟德初，瓘歷左奉宸衛將軍。 主坐巫蠱，斥瓘房州刺史，主從之官。 咸亨中，主薨而瓘卒，雙柩還京師。 子顗，封河東縣侯、濟州刺史。 瑯邪王沖起兵，顗與弟紹以所部庸、調作兵募士，且應之。 沖敗，殺都吏以滅口。 事泄，下獄俱死。
Princess Chengyang married Du He, who was executed in the Chenghan crown prince affair; she then married Xue Guan. When the princess was to marry, the emperor had the matter divined. The oracle read: "Two fires both consume—first shared glory, then shared grief. Marry in daylight and it will be auspicious." " Ma Zhou objected: "Audiences are held at dawn so that minds may admonish one another;" study takes place by day so that minds may strengthen one another;" feasts belong to late afternoon so that minds may rejoice together;" marriage belongs to night so that husband and wife may draw near." Thus superiors and inferiors are fulfilled, inner and outer are joined, activity and rest keep their seasons, and fortune and misfortune keep their forms. To overturn the beginning of the rite cannot be allowed. Divination resolves doubt; profaning ritual and slighting the ancients is what the sages reject. " The emperor then abandoned the plan. At the start of Longde, Xue Guan served as general of the Left Palace Guard. Implicated in sorcery, Guan was demoted to prefect of Fang and the princess accompanied him. In Xianhe the princess died and Guan died too; both coffins were brought back to the capital. Their son Yan was made Marquis of Hedong and prefect of Ji. When Prince Chong of Langye rebelled, Yan and his brother Shao used labor and tax levies to raise troops and prepared to join him. After Chong's defeat they killed the prefectural clerk to cover their tracks. When the plot was exposed, both were imprisoned and executed.
38
合浦公主，始封高陽。 下嫁房玄齡子遺愛。 主，帝所愛，故禮異它婿。 主負所愛而驕。 房遺直以嫡當拜銀青光祿大夫，讓弟遺愛，帝不許。 玄齡卒，主導遺愛異貲，既而反譖之，遺直自言，帝痛讓主，乃免。 自是稍疏外，主怏怏。 會御史劾盜，得浮屠辯機金寶神枕，自言主所賜。 初，浮屠廬主之封地，會主與遺愛獵，見而悅之，具帳其廬，與之亂，更以二女子從遺愛，私餉億計。 至是，浮屠殊死，殺奴婢十余。 主益望，帝崩無哀容。 又浮屠智勖迎占禍福，惠弘能視鬼，道士李晃高醫，皆私侍主。 主使掖廷令陳玄運伺宮省禨祥，步星次。 永徽中，與遺愛謀反，賜死。 顯慶時追贈。
Princess Hepu was first created Princess of Gaoyang. She married Fang Yiai, son of Fang Xuanling. The emperor favored her, so her husband was treated unlike other imperial sons-in-law. Secure in the emperor's affection, she grew arrogant. Fang Yizhi, the eldest son, was entitled to the Silver-Gleam Grand Master post but yielded it to Yiai; the emperor refused. After Xuanling's death the princess helped Yiai seize an unfair share of the estate, then slandered Yizhi; when Yizhi appealed, the emperor rebuked the princess and excused Yizhi. After that she was kept at a distance, and the princess brooded. When a censor investigated theft, he found on the monk Bianji gold, jewels, and a divine pillow that Bianji said the princess had given him. Bianji had lived on her estate; she met him while hunting, favored him, lodged with him, took him as lover, gave Yiai two women in exchange, and secretly lavished vast sums on him. Bianji was executed by dismemberment and more than ten slave girls were put to death. She grew more bitter still and showed no grief when the emperor died. The monk Zhi Xu divined fortunes, Hui Hong claimed to see ghosts, and the Daoist Li Huang practiced medicine—all served her in secret. She had Chen Xuanyun, director of palace revenues, watch palace omens and track the stars. In Yonghui she conspired with Yiai and was ordered to take her own life. In Xianqing she was posthumously honored.

晉陽公主字明達，幼字兕子，文德皇后所生。 未嘗見喜慍色。 帝有所怒責，必伺顏徐徐辯解，故省中多蒙其惠，莫不譽愛。 后崩，時主始孩，不之識； 及五歲，經后所遊地，哀不自勝。 帝諸子，唯晉王及主最少，故親畜之。 王每出閤，主送至虔化門； 泣而別。 王勝衣，班於朝，主泣曰：“兄今與群臣同列，不得在內乎？ ”帝亦為流涕。 主臨帝飛白書，下不能辨。 薨年十二。 帝閱三旬不常膳，日數十哀，因以臒羸。 群臣進勉，帝曰：“朕渠不知悲愛無益？ 而不能已，我亦不知其所以然。 ”因詔有司簿主湯沐余貲，營佛祠墓側。
Princess Jinyang, courtesy name Mingda, childhood name Zizi, was the daughter of Empress Wende. She never showed joy or anger on her face. When the emperor grew angry, she watched his mood and gently pleaded for the accused, winning gratitude throughout the inner palace. When the empress died the princess was still an infant and did not know her; at five, passing places her mother had frequented, she grieved beyond control. Of the emperor's sons only the Prince of Jin and the princess were youngest, and he kept them especially close. Whenever the prince left the palace, the princess walked with him to Qianhua Gate; they parted in tears. When the prince came of age and attended court, she wept: "Brother now ranks with the ministers—can he no longer stay within?" " The emperor wept as well. When she copied the emperor's flying-white calligraphy, her attendants could not tell it from his hand. She died at twelve. For more than thirty days the emperor scarcely ate, grieving many times daily until he grew gaunt. Ministers urged restraint. The emperor said, "Do I not know mourning avails nothing?" Yet I cannot stop—I do not know why myself. " He then ordered her remaining income recorded and a Buddhist shrine built beside her tomb.

She then married Wei Zhengju, a court grand master, who failed to treat her with proper respect. She soon died suddenly; Gaozong had the Three Offices investigate, Zhengju could not clear himself, and he was executed. She was buried beside Zhaoling with empress-level rites.

She died in Kaiyuan; Xuanzong wept at Huizheng Gate, sent the Grand Herald to mourn, and had the metropolitan governor oversee the rites.
45
太平公主，則天皇后所生，后愛之傾諸女。 榮國夫人死，后丐主為道士，以幸冥福。 儀鳳中，吐蕃請主下嫁，后不欲棄之夷，乃真築宮，如方士薰戒，以拒和親事。 久之，主衣紫袍玉帶，折上巾，具紛礪，歌舞帝前。 帝及后大笑曰：“兒不為武官，何遽爾？ ”主曰：“以賜駙馬可乎？ ”帝識其意，擇薛紹尚之。 假萬年縣為婚館，門隘不能容翟車，有司毀垣以入，自興安門設燎相屬，道樾為枯。 紹死，更嫁武承嗣，會承嗣小疾，罷昏。 后殺武攸暨妻，以配主。 主方額廣頤，多陰謀，后常謂“類我”。 而主內與謀，外檢畏，終後世無它訾。
Princess Taiping was Wu Zetian's daughter, favored above all her sisters. When Lady Rongguo died, the empress had the princess take Daoist orders to bless her in the afterlife. In Yifeng Tibet sought her hand; unwilling to give her to foreigners, the empress built a palace and, like a Daoist in ritual seclusion, refused the match. Later she appeared before the emperor in purple robe, jade belt, military cap, full armor, and danced. The emperor and empress laughed: "Child, you are no soldier—why dress like this?" " She said, "May this be bestowed on a son-in-law?" " The emperor understood and chose Xue Shao as her husband. Wannian County served as the wedding hall; the gate was too narrow for the bridal carriage and walls were torn down; torches lined the road from Xing'an Gate and scorched the trees bare. After Shao's death she was to marry Wu Chengsi, but a minor illness canceled the wedding. The empress killed Wu Youji's wife and gave him to the princess. Broad-faced and full-cheeked, she was full of intrigue; the empress often said, "She is my likeness." Inwardly she plotted, outwardly she was cautious, and she escaped other reproach through her life.

永淳之前，親王食實戶八百，增至千輒止； 公主不過三百，而主獨加戶五十。 及聖歷時，進及三千戶。 預誅二張功，增號鎮國，與相王均封五千，而薛、武二家女皆食實封。 主與相王衛王成王、長寧安樂二公主給衛士，環第十步一區，持兵呵衛，僣肖宮省。 神龍時，與長寧、安樂、宜城、新都、定安、金城凡七公主，皆開府置官屬，視親王。 安樂戶至三千，長寧二千五百，府不置長史。 宜城、定安非韋后所生，戶止二千。 主三子：崇簡、崇敏、崇行，皆拜三品。
Before Yongchun, princes received eight hundred taxable households, raised to a thousand and no further; princesses received no more than three hundred, but she alone received fifty more. In Shengli her fief rose to three thousand households. For helping eliminate the Zhang brothers, she was titled Pacifier of the State; she and the Prince of Xiang each received five thousand households, and daughters of the Xue and Wu houses held substantive fiefs. She and the princes of Xiang, Wei, and Cheng plus Princesses Changning and Anle were given guards posted every ten paces, armed escorts, and displays imitating the palace.

Anle held three thousand households, Changning twenty-five hundred; their offices omitted chief secretaries. Yicheng and Ding'an were not Empress Wei's daughters and received only two thousand households. Her three sons Chongjian, Chongmin, and Chongxing were all made third rank.
47
韋后、上官昭容用事，自以謀出主下遠甚，憚之。 主亦自以軋而可勝，故益橫。 於是推進天下士，謂儒者多窶狹，厚持金帛謝之，以動大議，遠近翕然響之。 玄宗將誅韋氏，主與秘計，遣子崇簡從。 事定，將立相王，未有以發其端者。 主顧溫王乃兒子，可劫以為功，乃入見王曰：“天下事歸相王，此非兒所坐。 ”乃掖王下，取乘輿服進睿宗。 睿宗即位，主權由此震天下，加實封至萬戶，三子封王，余皆祭酒、九卿。 主每奏事，漏數徙乃得退，所言皆從。 有所論薦，或自寒冗躐進至侍從，旋踵將相。 朝廷大政事非關決不下，聞不朝，則宰相就第咨判，天子殆畫可而已。 主侍武后久，善策人主微指，先事逢合，無不中。 田園遍近甸，皆上腴。 吳、蜀、嶺嶠市作器用，州縣護送，道相望也。 天下珍滋譎怪充於家，供帳聲伎與天子等。 侍兒曳紈谷者數百，奴伯嫗監千人，隴右牧馬至萬匹。 長安浮屠慧範畜貲千萬，諧結權近，本善張易之。 及易之誅，或言其豫謀者，於是封上庸郡公，月給奉稍。 主乳媼與通，奏擢三品御史大夫。 御史魏傳弓劾其奸贓四十萬，請論死。 中宗欲赦之，進曰：“刑賞，國大事，陛下賞已妄加矣，又欲廢刑，天下其謂何？ ”帝不得已，削銀青階。 大夫薛謙光劾慧範不法，不可貸，主為申理，故謙光等反得罪。
Empress Wei and Lady Shangguan, in power, thought themselves far shrewder than the princess and feared her. The princess believed she could dominate them and grew more overbearing. She promoted scholars nationwide, dismissing Confucians as narrow, lavished gold and silk to sway opinion, and won followers everywhere. When Xuanzong moved against the Wei clan, she plotted in secret and sent Chongjian with him. After the coup, as they prepared to enthrone the Prince of Xiang, no one had opened the way. Seeing the Prince of Wen as a pawn, she told him: "The throne belongs to the Prince of Xiang—this is no place for you." " She led him down, took the imperial regalia, and presented them to Ruizong. Ruizong's accession made her power shake the realm: ten thousand households, three sons enfeoffed as princes, others made ministers. She lingered over each audience until the water clock was moved repeatedly, and all she said was obeyed. Her protégés could rise from obscurity to attendants and within days become chancellors or generals. Major state affairs awaited her word; if she skipped court, chancellors came to her house, and the emperor merely ratified. Long at Wu Zetian's side, she read the ruler's mind and anticipated events without fail. Her estates near the capital were all prime land. Wu, Shu, and the far south sent luxuries under escort, convoys unending on the roads. Rare foods and curios filled her house; her retinue and entertainers rivaled the emperor's. Hundreds of maids trailed silk, a thousand stewards oversaw them, and ten thousand horses grazed in Longyou. The monk Huifan of Chang'an amassed tens of millions, curried favor with the powerful, and had been close to Zhang Yizhi. After Yizhi's death some said Huifan had plotted with him; he was made Duke of Shangyong with a monthly stipend. Her wet nurse was his lover; she had him promoted to censor-in-chief, third rank. Censor Wei Chuanggong impeached him for four hundred thousand in graft and sought his execution. Zhongzong wished to pardon him. Wei Chuanggong said: "Rewards and punishments are the state's foundation. You have already rewarded rashly—if you now waive punishment, what will the world say?" " The emperor had no choice and stripped Huifan of his silver-blue rank. Xue Qianguang impeached Huifan as beyond pardon; the princess intervened, and Qianguang and others were punished instead.

玄宗以太子監國，使宋王、岐王總禁兵。 主恚權分，乘輦至光範門，召宰相白廢太子。 於是宋璟、姚元之不悅，請出主東都，帝不許，詔主居蒲州。 主大望，太子懼，奏斥璟、元之以銷戢怨嫌。 監察御史慕容珣復劾慧範事，帝疑珣離間骨肉，貶密州司馬。 主居外四月，太子表追還京師。
As regent, Xuanzong had the princes of Song and Qi command the palace guards. Resenting shared power, she rode to Guangfan Gate and summoned the chancellor to depose the crown prince. Song Jing and Yao Yuanzhi urged sending her to the eastern capital; the emperor refused but sent her to Pu. She was furious; the crown prince, fearing trouble, had Song and Yao dismissed to ease tensions. Censor Murong Xun again impeached Huifan; the emperor suspected him of dividing the family and demoted him to Mi. After four months in exile, the crown prince had her recalled to the capital.

時宰相七人，五出主門下。 又左羽林大將軍常元楷、知羽林軍李慈皆私謁主。 主內忌太子明，又宰相皆其黨，乃有逆謀。 先天二年，與尚書左僕射竇懷貞、侍中岑羲、中書令蕭至忠崔湜、太子少保薛稷、雍州長史李晉、右散騎常侍昭文館學士賈膺福、鴻臚卿唐晙及元楷、慈、慧範等謀廢太子，使元楷、慈舉羽林兵入武德殿殺太子，懷貞、羲、至忠舉兵南衙為應。 既有日矣，太子得其奸，召岐王、薛王、兵部尚書郭元振、將軍王毛仲、殿中少監姜晈、中書侍郎王琚、吏部侍郎崔日用定策。 前一日，因毛仲取內閑馬三百，率太仆少卿李令問王守一、內侍高力士、果毅李守德叩虔化門，梟元楷、慈於北闕下，縛膺福內客省，執羲、至忠至朝堂，斬之，因大赦天下。 主聞變，亡入南山，三日不出，賜死於第。 諸子及黨與死者數十人。 簿其田貲，瑰寶若山，督子貸，凡三年不能盡。 崇簡素知主謀，苦諫，主怒，榜掠尤楚，至是復官爵，賜氏李。 始，主作觀池樂遊原，以為盛集，既敗，賜寧、申、岐、薛四王，都人歲祓禊其地。 中宗中宗八女。
Of seven chancellors, five were her clients. Generals Chang Yuankai and Li Ci of the Feathered Forest also visited her privately. She hated the brilliant crown prince and, with chancellors in her faction, plotted treason. In Xiantian 2 she joined Dou Huaizhen, Cen Yi, Xiao Zhibo, Cui Shi, Xue Ji, Li Jin, Jia Yingfu, Tang Jun, Yuankai, Ci, and Huifan to depose the crown prince—Yuankai and Ci would strike Wude Hall while others rose in the southern offices. On the eve of the coup the crown prince learned of it and gathered the princes of Qi and Xue, Guo Yuanzhen, Wang Maochong, Jiang Jiao, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong. The day before, he seized three hundred palace horses, stormed Qianhua Gate, beheaded Yuankai and Ci, seized Yi and Zhibo and executed them at court, and proclaimed amnesty. Hearing the coup, she fled into the Zhongnan hills; after three days she was ordered to die at home. Several dozen of her sons and followers died. Her assets were inventoried—jewels like mountains—and even three years of forced collection by her sons could not exhaust them. Chongjian had warned her and was cruelly flogged; now he was restored and given the surname Li. Her estate at Leyou Plateau was granted to four princes after her fall, and the capital held annual rites there. Emperor Zhongzong had eight daughters.

" Cui Xian appealed to the emperor and the request was denied. Xia Houqian was demoted to governor of Lu for this.

Princess Changning, daughter of Consort Wei, married Yang Shenjiao. She built a mansion in Luoyang under Yang Wulian's direction. When it was finished the treasury was nearly drained and Wulian was made Master of Works. She seized Gao Shilian's western capital mansion and the Left Golden Guard's old camp, built triple towers, artificial hills, and ponds. The emperor and empress visited repeatedly for feasts and poetry. She expanded the polo ground by annexing vacant land west of the ward. She took abolished Yongchang County's seat for her office, embanked the Luo shore, and linked lofty towers. The cost was at least two hundred thousand. The Prince of Wei's mansion had spanned a whole ward with a three-hundred-mu pond; after his death it reverted to the public. She obtained it; its splendor outdid the western capital. Favored by her mother, she rivaled Princesses Anle and Yicheng and great ladies for power; bribery flourished. Before she could occupy the Luoyang mansion the Wei fell; exiled with Shenjiao, she turned that mansion into the Jingyun Shrine and sold the Chang'an estate for two billion. In Kaiyuan 16 Shenjiao died and she married Su Yanbo. Wulian died convicted of embezzling hundreds of thousands and was disbarred for life.

安樂公主，最幼女。 帝遷房陵而主生，解衣以褓之，名曰裹兒。 姝秀辯敏，后尤愛之。 下嫁武崇訓。 帝復位，光艷動天下，侯王柄臣多出其門。 嘗作詔，箝其前，請帝署可，帝笑從之。 又請為皇太女，左僕射魏元忠諫不可，主曰：“元忠，山東木強，烏足論國事？ 阿武子尚為天子，天子女有不可乎？ ”與太平等七公主皆開府，而主府官屬尤濫，皆出屠販，納訾售官，降墨敕斜封授之，故號“斜封官”。 主營第及安樂佛廬，皆憲寫宮省，而工緻過之。 嘗請昆明池為私沼，帝曰：“先帝未有以與人者。 ”主不悅，自鑿定昆池，延袤數里。 定，言可抗訂之也。 司農卿趙履溫為繕治，累石肖華山，隥彴橫邪，回淵九折，以石瀵水。 又為寶爐，鏤怪獸神禽，間以璖貝珊瑚，不可涯計。 崇訓死，主素與武延秀亂，即嫁之。 是日，假后車輅，自宮送至第，帝與后為禦安福門臨觀，詔雍州長史竇懷貞為禮會使，弘文學士為儐，相王障車，捐賜金帛不貲。 翌日，大會群臣太極殿，主被翠服出，向天子再拜，南面拜公卿，公卿皆伏地稽首。 武攸暨與太平公主偶舞為帝壽。 賜群臣帛數十萬。 帝禦承天門，大赦，因賜民酺三日，內外官賜勛，緣禮官屬兼階、爵。 奪臨川長公主宅以為第，旁徹民廬，怨聲囂然。 第成，禁藏空殫，假萬騎仗、內音樂送主還第，天子親幸，宴近臣。 崇訓子方數歲，拜太常卿，封鎬國公，實封戶五百。 公主滿孺月，帝、后復幸第，大赦天下。 時主與長寧、定安三家廝臺掠民子女為奴婢，左臺侍御史袁從一縛送獄，主入訴，帝為手詔喻免。 從一曰：“陛下納主訴，縱奴騶掠平民，何以治天下？ 臣知放奴則免禍，劾奴則得罪於主，然不忍屈陛下法，自偷生也。 ”不納。 臨淄王誅庶人，主方覽鏡作眉，聞亂，走至右延明門，兵及，斬其首。 追貶為“悖逆庶人”。 睿宗即位，詔以二品禮葬之。 趙履溫諂事主，嘗褫朝服，以項挽車。 庶人死，蹈舞承天門呼萬歲，臨淄王斬之，父子同刑。 百姓疾其興役，割取肉去。
Princess Anle was the youngest daughter. Born while Zhongzong was exiled to Fangling, she was swaddled in the emperor's own garment and nicknamed Wrapped Child. Beautiful and quick-witted, she was the empress's favorite. She married Wu Chongxun. After restoration her splendor shook the realm; nobles and ministers flocked to her gate. She once drafted an edict, clipped the top, and had the emperor sign it; he laughed and agreed. She sought the title heir apparent; Wei Yuanzhong objected. She said: "Yuanzhong is a stiff rustic—what does he know of state affairs?" Even Wu's son became emperor—why not an emperor's daughter?" " She and six princesses opened offices, but hers sold posts to butchers and peddlers via sealed edicts—the "diagonal-seal officials." Her mansions and Buddhist cloister copied the palace and surpassed it in refinement. She asked for Kunming Pond as a private lake. The emperor said: "My father never gave it away." " Angry, she dug her own Dingkun Pond, several li across. Ding meant it could rival Kunming. Zhao Lüwen built it with stone Mount Hua, winding paths, nine bends, and stone aqueducts. She added censers carved with mythical beasts and birds, inlaid with jade, shell, and coral beyond count. After Chongxun's death she at once married her lover Wu Yanxiu. That day she used the empress's carriage from the palace; the emperor and empress watched from Anfu Gate; Dou Huaizhen directed the rites and gifts poured out. Next day at Taiji Hall she appeared in kingfisher robes, bowed to the emperor and then to the ministers, who all kowtowed. Wu Youji and Princess Taiping danced in pairs to wish the emperor long life. Ministers received several hundred thousand bolts of silk. The emperor appeared at Chengtian Gate, declared amnesty, gave the people three days of public feasting, rewarded officials, and granted concurrent ranks and titles to rites-office staff. She seized the Linchuan Grand Princess's house for her own mansion, demolishing neighboring homes amid loud public outrage. When it was finished the treasury was drained bare; imperial guards and palace musicians escorted her home while the emperor visited in person and feasted his close ministers. Chongxun's son Fang, still a small child, was made Minister of Ceremonies and Duke of Hao with five hundred taxable households. When the princess completed her first postpartum month, the emperor and empress visited again and declared a general amnesty. She, Changning, and Ding'an forcibly seized commoners' children as slaves; attendant censor Yuan Congyi had them bound and jailed, but the princess appealed and the emperor wrote a personal edict freeing them. Congyi said: "Your Majesty heeds the princess and lets her runners plunder the people—how can the realm be governed? I know freeing them spares me trouble while prosecuting them offends the princess, yet I cannot bend the law to save myself." " The emperor refused. When the Prince of Linzi killed the deposed empress, the princess was doing her eyebrows at the mirror; hearing the uprising she fled to the Right Yanming Gate, but soldiers caught her and beheaded her. She was posthumously stripped to "Rebellious Commoner." When Ruizong acceded, an edict ordered her burial with second-rank honors. Zhao Lüwen flattered the princess and once doffed court robes to pull her carriage by the neck strap. When the deposed empress died he danced at Chengtian Gate shouting "Long live!"; the Prince of Linzi beheaded him, and father and son were executed alike. Resenting his forced labor levies, the people cut flesh from his corpse.

When the abbey was begun, Chongxuan was ordered to supervise it with ten thousand workers a day. Buddhist monks, resenting this, paid several hundred thousand cash to the madman Duan Qian to enter Chengtian Gate, climb Taiji Hall, and proclaim himself emperor. Seized by officials, he confessed: "Chongxuan sent me." " He was exiled to Lingnan, and an edict forbade Buddhists and Daoist adepts from rivaling each other.

" Xuanzong refused. She added: "I am Gaozong's granddaughter, Ruizong's daughter, and your younger sister—not lowly in the world; must I keep a princess title and fief income to be honored? Let me give up several hundred households' income and gain ten years of life." " The emperor grasped her meaning and agreed. She died in the Baoying era.

開元新制：長公主封戶二千，帝妹戶千，率以三丁為限； 皇子王戶二千，主半之。 左右以為薄。 帝曰：“百姓租賦非我有，士出萬死，賞不過束帛，女何功而享多戶邪？ 使知儉嗇，不亦可乎？ ”於是，公主所稟殆不給車服。 後咸宜以母愛益封至千戶，諸主皆增，自是著於令。 主不下嫁，亦封千戶，有司給奴婢如令。
New Kaiyuan rules: grand princesses received two thousand fief households, imperial sisters one thousand, with a cap of three adult males per household; imperial princes and kings received two thousand; princesses half as much. Courtiers thought this too stingy. The emperor said: "The people's taxes are not mine. Soldiers risk death for no more than a bundle of silk—what merit do women have to enjoy so many households? Should they not learn thrift?" " Thereafter princesses' allotments barely covered carriages and robes. Later Xianyi, favored through her mother, was raised to one thousand households; all princesses were increased, and the rule was codified. Unmarried princesses also received one thousand households, with slaves and maids supplied by statute.

Princess Hezheng was born to Empress Zhangjing. At three, when the empress died, she was raised by Consort Wei. Quick and filial by nature, she cared for the consort with renown. She married Liu Tan. When An Lushan seized the capital, Princess Ningguo was widowed; she left three sons, took Tan's horse for Ningguo, and walked a hundred li a day with him—Tan fetched water and firewood while she cooked and hunted to sustain Ningguo. Tan's sister-in-law was Yang Guifei's sister and wielded court power, yet the princess never sought private favor. After her death the princess reared her sons as her own. She followed Xuanzong to Shu, received her first enfeoffment, and Tan was made commander of the consort cavalry. When Guo Qianren rebelled, Xuanzong addressed him from Xuanying Tower, but he refused to submit. Tan led crack fighters including Zhang Yitong in a death struggle; the princess strung a bow for him, and he personally slew fifty rebels and put down the revolt. During Suzong's illness she nursed him tirelessly; granted fields, she refused because her sister Baozhang had received none. Abusi's wife was sent to the palace women, and at a feast the emperor had her perform in green. She remonstrated: "Abusi was a rebel—his wife must not come near Your Majesty; even if innocent, she cannot sit among performers." The emperor had her released. With war draining the treasury, she traded for tens of millions in profit to provision the army. At the emperor's burial she gave tens of millions from her fief income. At Daizong's accession she repeatedly advised on public welfare and the realm's fortunes, and the emperor heeded her. When Tibet invaded she fled south; at Shangyu she met bandits, preached fate to them, and they kowtowed offering to serve her. Finding her poor, Daizong ordered governors to send gifts; she refused every one. She sewed her own patched clothes, and her sons wore no silk. In Guangde, while pregnant during another Tibetan invasion, she entered to discuss border defense; Tan tried to stop her, and she said: "Has your lord no elder brother? " She went in to audience in the inner hall. The next day, after weaning her child, she died.

Princess Yueping. [Commentary] The commentary says: Even imperial princesses belong to their husbands' houses, and historiographers treat them as peripheral and record them sparingly.
