Emperor Wen of Sui's empress Dowager Yang Jian was a "great" woman, and it was with her assistance that Yang Jian was able to usurp Zhou Jiansui; it was also because of her loyalty that the Great Sui Guozuo was locked in a short period of 37 years. Therefore, Yang Jian's dying cry of "lonely and misleading me" is not entirely unreasonable.
Dugu Jia Luo was the seventh daughter of Du Gu Xin of the Northern Zhou Zhu Kingdom. Dugu Xin (502~557), originally known as Du Lonely Wish, was a native of Shengle City,Yunzhong County (present-day Inner Mongolia and Linger County). After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dugu Xin paid homage to Taibao and Emperor Dazong for his military merits.
Dugu Xin had seven daughters in his lifetime, of whom the eldest daughter married Yuwen Yu, the Ming Emperor of Northern Zhou, and the fourth daughter married Li Xun, the Duke of Tang at the time, and later had a son, Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang. It is conceivable that as a relative of the emperor and the state, the Dugu Xin family is not powerful.
So how did Yang Jian marry the lone garo? History:
"(Du Lonely) Believe that Gao Zu (Yang Jian) has a strange appearance, so his wife will be fourteen years old" - "Sui Shu DuGu Jia Luo Biography"
What does this "odd table" mean?
The history books record that Yang Jian had a peculiar appearance, "as a human dragon, with five pillars on his forehead and a top, his eyes shooting outward, and a text in his hand called 'King'." Long and short, Shen Shen is serious", such a person is really not handsome. Dugu Xin rationed Du Lonely Garo Xu to Yang Jian for this reason, to tell the truth, it was really wronged his daughter, after all, with Du Lonely Xin's family, it was not difficult to find a "handsome" Ruyi Langjun for his daughter. Perhaps for this reason, Yang Jian promised after marriage that he would "swear to have no children", which was about 556 AD
Coincidentally, in the second year (557) after Yang Jian's marriage, Dugu Xin was implicated by Zhao Guimou and died at home by the Northern Zhou chancellor Yuwen Protector.
Behind every successful man, there is a virtuous woman, and Yang Jian is no exception. Just when Yang Jian was working hard to develop his career, Dugu Jia Luo was also trying to fulfill the duty of a wife, "gentle and filial piety, not losing the way of women", "humble and self-preservation, the world is a sage".
Over time, several children of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were also born and raised, among them, the eldest daughter Yang Lihua married crown prince Yuwen Yun as a concubine in the second year of Jiande (573). Later, Yuwen Yun succeeded to the throne (579) as Emperor Xuan of Zhou, and Yang Lihua was made empress.
Yang Lihua was a good woman, "gentle in nature, not jealous"; the relationship between the harem was also handled very well, "the four empresses and concubines, the royal family, etc., salty love and admiration". But Yuwen Yun did not know how to cherish, "violent, moody and obedient", often blamed her.
Once, Yuwen Yun was furious and wanted to kill Yang Lihua. After hearing this, Dugu Jia Luo disregarded his dignity and ran to the palace to "prostrate his head and bleed" to plead guilty, which led to Yuwen Yun's pardon.
As a mother, there is nothing wrong with lonely Garo saving her daughter regardless of decency, but the political significance of this matter itself is also very large.
Yang Lihua and Yuwen Yun had only one daughter, Yuwen Eying, so in order to ensure her future position in the palace, Yang Lihua recognized Yuwen Yun and the "illegitimate son" of a palace maid named "Zhu Manyue" as a "righteous son". It was with the help of Yang Lihua and Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, that the 9-year-old Yuwen Yan was able to ascend the throne after Emperor Xuanzong's death (580) for Emperor Jing of Zhou, who reigned for only a year before being "deposed" by Yang Jian and given death.
During the more than a year of emperor Jing's reign (581), Yang Lihua calmed down various "situations" in the palace, making Yang Jian's process of "usurping Zhou Jiansui" much smoother and reducing the resistance from the palace. The root cause of such effectiveness is that the lone Garo saved his daughter's life.
Of course, the lone garo is helpful to Yang Jianjian Sui, but this does not mean that the lone garo will not "pit" Yang Jian. In fact, she not only "pits", but also "pits" very deeply, which corresponds to the lyrics:
"Love is too deep, it is easy to see the scars!"
In 581, Yang Jian established Sui as Emperor Wen of Sui, and at the same time made Dugu Jialuo empress and yang Yong, the eldest son of a concubine, crown prince.
As an empress, Dugu Jia Luo was not suitable to participate in the government, but on the issue of crown prince Yang Yong's "establishment and abolition", she "misled" Yang Jian—at least Yang Jian thought so.
Yang Jian originally had high hopes for Yang Yong, and arranged for him to "participate in the military and state affairs" early on to temper his talents, even if "there are gains and losses from time to time, and the superior (Yang Jian) accepts them."
Yang Yong is a person who is "generous in nature, willful and willful, and has no mannerisms", and his character is also justified.
If all goes well, it will only be a matter of time before Yang Yong inherits the throne, however, after the death of Crown Princess Yuan, things slowly changed...
At that time, Yang Yong was a prince and "favored by many people". But I don't know why, this crown princess of his, Yuan Shi, has not been favored by him since she married him!
One day, Yuan Fei suddenly suffered from "heart disease, two days and a sis". The Lone Queen felt that this girl was really pitiful, how could she die so quickly? Could it be that Yang Yong was "poisoned and poisoned"? Yes, the LoneLy Queen was very dissatisfied with Yang Yong's "fierce heart"!
In addition, Yang Yong's exclusive favor of Yun Zhaoxun (a kind of concubine rank) "feasted all day and neglected political affairs", which also made his father Yang Jian extremely dissatisfied!
Without comparison, there is no harm!
At this time, Yang Guang, the king of jin, was more able to "pretend", "Mi zi mannerism, only with Concubine Xiao to live, the back court has children are sterile, and the latter is called Guangxian." The ministers are all devoted to and intercourse. ”
When Yang Jian and the empress's envoys arrived at the Palace of the Jin Dynasty, Yang Guang and his wife, regardless of whether they were noble or lowly, would definitely go out to greet them; Yang Jian and the LoneLy Empress went to Yang Guang's mansion, and his maids were also some "old ugly people". This makes Yang Jian feel that his second son is "not good" and "very happy"... In this way, Yang Jian did not like his second son.
At that time, Yang Guang served as the governor of Yangzhou, "entering the dynasty, returning to the town, and weeping on the ground", and the lonely empress was reluctant to let the child go, "and also wept". Yang Guang said "aggrievedly":
"Under the foolishness of the subject's nature, he always keeps the will of the Kundi of Pingsheng, and does not know what sin he has lost love in the Eastern Palace, and he is always full of anger." Want to add slaughter. Every fear of the rumor is born of the throwing, and the poison of the duck meets the cup and spoon, it is to accumulate thoughts of diligence and worry, and to be afraid of death. ”
Yang Guang said that he was so pitiful, and he counted his brother down, which was really a honey sword, but Dugu Jia Luo thought so deeply:
"Yang Yong became impatient, and when I married the daughter of the Yuan clan, I did not treat her as a husband and wife, but exclusively favored Ah Yun, making it like a Guinea pig... I'm in Shanger, and after I die, when the fish meat ruhu! ”
I live Yang Yong like this, if I die, you will wait to be cleaned up!
Dugu Jia Luo expressed her dislike for Yang Yong in this passage, "so she decided to abolish Yong Li Guangyi."
What is even more excessive is that in addition to blowing the "wind in the ear" with Yang Jian, Dugu Jialuo also found the minister Yang Su, "leaving (Yang) Sujin, making Zanshang abolished" - what Dugu Jialuo did not know was that Yang Su was Yang Guang's person, and he specially arranged for Yang Su to approach him, which was a bureau.
Therefore, with the efforts of Yang Guang, Yang Su and Dugu Jialuo and others, Yang Jian finally made up his mind to "abolish Yong Liguang". It was October of the 20th year of the reign of emperor Kai (600 AD).
...... Xue Daoheng, the attendant of the order, proclaimed the edict and abolished Yong and his male and female as kings and princesses. Yong zai said, "When the subject is ambushed in the city, he will be warned for the future; ——" Zizhi Tongjian • Tang Jisan
In addition to interfering with the "establishment" of the crown prince Yang Yong, Dugu Jialuo also interfered with Yang Jian's emotional life. It's also worth mentioning.
One summer, Emperor Yang Jian of sui went to Renshou Palace as usual to escape the summer. During this time, Yang Jian met the granddaughter of Chi Yuan, the former governor of Xiangzhou ("There is beauty, first there is no palace").
In the twelfth year of Taijian (580), Emperor Xuan of Zhou died of illness and was succeeded by Emperor Jing of Zhou. Because Emperor Jing was young, he was assisted by Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, and was appointed "Grand Chancellor" and "always knew about Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses". In the same year, the governor of Xiangzhou, Chi Yi, rebelled, but was quickly suppressed by the general Wei Xiaokuan. After Wei Chiyi's death, the "female dependents" in the family were "punished and confiscated as slaves." This includes Wei Chiyi's granddaughter! Then again, Yang Jian was able to notice her among the many "slaves" of Renshou Palace, which showed that this woman was "talented" and outstanding.
"Emperor" sad beauty off!
In the end, Yang Jian failed to control himself and "spoiled" this beautiful woman!
There is no impermeable wall in the world!
Lonely Garo finally learned of this, "vinegared", and actually executed the woman secretly! In fact, the ancient emperors saw a beautiful woman "spoiled" for a while, which was really a common thing. Who gave them supreme imperial power? The "control" of Yang Jian by the lone garo had reached such a level! This makes Yang Jian "lose face"!
Therefore, Yang Jian "was furious, rode out of the garden alone, and entered the valley for more than twenty miles." The left servant shot Gao Jiao, and the right servant shot Yang Su hurried to chase after it, and after catching up, "buckle the horse and give advice." Finally, Yang Jian sighed:
"I am the Son of Heaven and shall not be free!"
Gao Hao persuaded him, "Your Majesty will despise the world with a woman!" This Gao Ji was also a famous courtier of emperor Wen Dynasty, and he was "disliked" by Dugu Jialuo because he said the word "woman". Soon after, he was swept to the end by Yang Jian, and only with "(guo) gong is the first", it is also his bad luck.
Yang Jian listened to Gao Jiao's persuasion and was slightly relieved, "Shangyi shao xie, stationed in Ma Liangjiu, and returned to the palace in the middle of the night." The Lonely Empress saw Yang Jian return, "Weeping and thanking him, And reconciling with Him, Su, etc., because he was extremely happy with the wine..."
Well said, the relationship between the couple has finally returned to normal, only poor Wei Chi's granddaughter, a beautiful woman died in vain, it is a pity!
This happened in renshou palace, even in the palace of Daxing, "when the lonely empress is a concubine, the harem rarely enters the palace", even the concubines of the harem are difficult to get Yang Jian's favor. How do you see it, this is a bit excessive, right?
Yes, Dugu Jia Luo's control over Yang Jian had reached such an extent!
However, the direct consequence of this control was that Yang Jian had too few heirs, only 5 (Yang Yong the Prince of Fangling, Yang Guang the Emperor of Qin, Yang Jun the Prince of Qin, Shu Renxiu, and Shu Renyu), and these sons were actually not suitable for inheriting the State of Sui. In this regard, Inspector Goshi Fang Yanqian said privately:
The Lord has no merit, to deceive the world, all the sons are arrogant and unkind, they will destroy each other, and although they are now peaceful, their death can be waited for- "Zizhi Tongjian • Sui Ji III"
The Great Sui Dynasty of only 37 years also fully proves this.
On the other hand, if Dugu Jia Luo was not so tightly controlled, yang Jian could have a few more heirs, and he might not be able to choose a suitable heir, and the Great Sui would not be such a short guozuo, right?
In the fourth year of Renshou (604), Yang Jian was critically ill, and the bingbu Shangshu Liushu, Shangshu Zuo servant Yang Su and Huangmen Shilang Yuanyan "entered the cabinet to serve the disease" together, and recruited the crown prince Yang Guang to live in the Great Treasure Hall.
At the same time, along with Yang Guang and others, he was also "ill-dressed" by Xuanhua's wife Chen Shi, who was favored after the death of Dugu Jialuo (602).
One day, Lady Chen "went out to change clothes, was forced by the prince, refused, was spared, and returned to the upper office."
Yang Jian saw that her appearance was not right, and "asked why." Mrs. Chen suddenly knew:
"The prince is rude!"
Yang Jian "Gong, arrive at the bed": "How can the beast pay big things!" Alone and misled me! "This is the last cry of Yang Jian's life...
Next, Yang Jian ordered Liu Shu and Yuan Yan to quickly find the "former prince" Yang Yong! What is yang yong looking for? You can imagine.
Unfortunately, the news leaked! After Yang Su and Yang Guang learned about it, they first attacked strongly, "correcting the edict and the rock, which is the Dali Temple."
Liu Shu and Yuan Yan were arrested, Yang Yong naturally had no chance, Yang Jian's illness worsened, and he died soon after. This time, he could have a good chat with the lone Garo...
As mentioned above, on the surface, Yang Jian's cry here is that he feels that he has chosen the wrong heir and should not appoint Yang Guang as the crown prince, and there is indeed a reason for the lonely Garo, so he will shout out this sentence "Lonely mistake me" at the dying moment!
However, everyone also understands that Yang Jian's sons can't actually choose anyone. Because Dugu Jia Luo's control over Yang Jian was too harsh, he did not have a better choice in the end, which may be the biggest helplessness in his heart, right?
For the sake of the Great Sui, Yang Jian spent his life being diligent and thrifty, but he did not expect that Yang Guang, who inherited the great throne, was so proud of his extravagance and extravagance that he died in the life of Great Sui II, which was really stifling! If Yang Jianquan knew, how could he be blind?
Hey, what more can be said? Hopefully, they will never be husband and wife again in the next life...
