In 588, after a big fight between Emperor Wen of Sui and the empress, he rode out alone, and when he found him, he cried alone in the deserted suburbs.
The palace people advised Emperor Wen of Sui to return to the palace quickly, but he refused and still sat in the broken temple and cried.
Why did the king of a country quarrel with the queen and run away from home? This seemingly absurd scene is exactly the truth, and the Book of Sui records this event.
If you want to clarify this matter, you have to start with Emperor Wen of Sui's empress, Dugu Jialuo, who is really different from other empresses.
Dugu Jia Luo came from the Northern Zhou nobles, his father was the founding hero of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Du Guxin, she was the seventh daughter of the Du Lonely Family, born from a young age, intelligent and beautiful.
Because of the influence of his family, Lone Garo prefers to read from an early age, and has his own opinions at a young age. When he was a teenager, he was already dignified and quiet, and he knew how to read.
When Dugu Jia Luo was 14 years old, he was married by his father to the right general of the door, Yang Jian.
The two were about the same age, and, because of their very similar upbringing and educational backgrounds, they shared a lot of common language.
Dugu Garo is very capable and shrewd, keeps the mansion in good order, serves her in-laws to take care of the family very thoughtfully, and is a praised daughter-in-law. Not only that, with his own talents, he often gave Yang Jian some useful advice in his career, which was simply a first-class sage, and Yang Jian valued her and loved her.
The husband and wife have a very good relationship, and Yang Jian even solemnly swore that he would not love other women again in his life, let alone have children with other women, as long as he and the lonely Garo two people lived together for a lifetime.
And the lonely Garo woman, the idea is even more avant-garde, she believes that it should be monogamous, for Yang Jian's commitment, she accepted it.
To say that when being an ordinary couple, it is reasonable for the two to agree to live a monogamous life. What is even more surprising is that yang jian ascended the throne at the age of 40 and became emperor, and the lonely Garo still insisted on monogamy.
Not long after Dugu Jia luo became empress, he carried out harem reform with great fanfare, directly abolished the concubine system of the former dynasty, and formally formulated a monogamous uniform for the emperor.
Dugu Jia Luo had a lot of ideas, not only to change the system in the palace, but also to issue a decree stipulating that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu should also abide by monogamy, and if it did not comply, it would not be promoted and reused. And monogamy and non-concubinage are advocated throughout the country.
In fact, after Yang Jian became emperor, his mind was somewhat active. We think, the emperors of all the dynasties have been harem beauties, why can he Yang Jian still only hold his old wife when he becomes emperor?
However, Yang Jian's mind was active and active, but there was no good way, nor did he dare to fight against the empress.
Because dugu Jia luo in the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, is a very heavy weight, there is a detail can explain the status of du lonely Garo, the two became the emperor and empress, and were called "two saints", the du lonely empress is not only in charge of the harem, but also has the weight to speak in the court.
In this way, Yang Jian accepted his own desires and maintained a beautiful situation of monogamy with the lonely empress, until 588, Yang Jian finally could not hold back.
At that time, there was a palace maid named Wei Chizhen in the palace, with an excellent posture, and it was miaoling, Yang Jian had already taken a fancy to her, and his heart was itchy.
This year, the 46-year-old lone queen fell ill and lay in bed in the queen's bedchamber. Yang Jian lost the empress's discipline and completely released himself.
He took the beautiful Wei Chizhen to the Plum Blossom Villa, and once in the spring, he finally fulfilled his wish and released his inner desire, which was simply heartbroken. At the end of the matter, he also promised the little beauty that he would definitely give her a formal concubine afterwards. After doing these things, Yang Jian went to the ground in a beautiful way.
How could he have imagined that the empress's message was very clever, and when he went to the court, the lone queen had already angrily summoned Wei Chizhen.
When Yang Jian came down, the attendants hurriedly informed him that the East Window incident had occurred, and the empress had gone to ask Wei Chizhen about the crime, and he was afraid in his heart and trotted all the way to save the little beauty.
Yang Jian was still late after all, and when he arrived, he only saw the body of Wei Chizhen, who was fleshy and fleshy.
After Yang Jian privately met the little beauty, he was also worried that the empress would be angry when she found out, but he never expected that the lone queen would be so vicious.
When Emperor Yang Jian of Sui saw Wei Chizhen's tragic situation, he trembled with anger and shouted at the empress, "How can you be so cruel?!" It's not her fault again! ”
After shouting, Yang Jian's heart was full of anger and resentment, he was a heavenly son, he couldn't even protect a little girl, he couldn't even spoil a palace girl, manchao Wenwu knew, how to laugh at himself!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he ran to lead a horse, rode up and ran away, galloping wildly, and ran out for more than 20 miles before stopping.
When the anxious palace people found him, he was sitting in a broken temple, crying. The palace people tried to persuade him to no avail, and several ministers were recruited to persuade him. Yang Jian cried while crying at the broken temple: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I am not allowed to be free." ”
The ministers knelt in front of the temple and asked him to go back, repeatedly persuading Yang Jian to return to the palace.
Although the execution of the palace maid was excessive, she was not stupid, and through the emperor's reaction, she also realized that she had gone too far. When Yang Jian returned to the palace, the LoneLy Empress fell to her knees with a thud, crying and apologizing. The Book of Sui records that "after the weeping and thanking".
The storm of spoiling the palace maid is considered to be over, but since then, the husband and wife relationship between Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo seems to have a gap, and it is no longer like before.
Until 602 AD, when the Dugu Empress died and no one took charge of the harem, the 62-year-old Yang Jian immediately promoted two beautiful women, Lady Ronghua and Lady Xuanhua, with some vengeful indulgence, and the two wives hugged left and right, often having fun.
Under this loss of healthy lifestyle, yang jian fell ill two years later.
Yang Jian lay on the hospital bed, looked at his body, remembered the empress's goodness, and said to the attendant next to him, "Let the empress be here, I can't do this." "If the queen were alive now, and she was in charge of me, my body wouldn't be able to get to this point."
In fact, the lonely queen attacked the palace maid, not only because of her resentment of her husband's infidelity, but also because of some big-picture considerations.
The status of the palace lady Lieutenant Chi Zhen is special, she is the granddaughter of the former dynasty general Wei Chi Yuan, Yang Jian killed Wei Chi Yuan's family in order to achieve great things.
The woman of this background has a deep hatred with Yang Jian, and if she becomes a harem favorite concubine, it will become a big hidden danger. If the palace maid was not Wei Chizhen, perhaps the LoneLy Empress would not be so determined.
The love story of Yang Jian and Dugu Jia luo has been talked about for thousands of years and has been passed down as a good story by future generations.
In fact, according to modern standards, Dugu Jia Luo loves Yang Jian more, and du lonely Garo has only Yang Jian in his heart all his life. All his life's work has been devoted to his home country and the world, and he has never deserted. After Yang Jian ascended to a high position, he was shaken and violated the oath of one or two people in his lifetime.
However, according to the cultural background of the feudal society a thousand years ago, in that era when men were inferior to women and husbands were wives, Yang Jianken made promises, and put the solitary Garo in the most important position all his life, and insisted on monogamy for decades, which was already a very enlightened and avant-garde emperor.
