China has experienced the baptism of many feudal dynasties, each of which has its own historical era and historical story. Among them, the Sui and Tang dynasties are recognized as the pinnacle of China's feudal dynasty. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, China's economy, culture, and society were the peak of the prosperity of the Chinese nation. Although the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, only two generations passed, the significance of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty cannot be ignored.
The Sui Dynasty was founded by the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, who ended the long period of fragmentation and chaos in the Central Plains and laid the foundation for the unification of the Chinese nation and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, The Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, was also a legendary figure. Among them, the relationship between The Sui Emperor Yang Jian and his empress Dugu Jialuo is also enviable.
First, Yang Jian's growth experience
Yang Jian was born into a prominent family of gate valves in Northern Zhou, his father was a military nobleman of Western Wei and Northern Zhou, and during the time of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, his father had even become a great general, and he was given the title of Duke of Sui and hereditary official title. Later, Yang Jian's hereditary title became a new generation of Sui Dukes, which is why after Yang Jian became emperor, the state name was "Sui".
Yang Jian was born in a family and read poetry and books since he was a child. His father saw that he was wise, and often took him with him to teach him all kinds of knowledge, and would often teach him the affairs of the court, how to be a qualified courtier, and how to maintain the glory of the family. Thanks to his father's childhood professor and Yang Jian's intelligent nature, Yang Jian was skilled and sophisticated after inheriting the title, and was praised.
Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou liked to have fun and did not want to control power, so Yang Jian relied on his ingenuity and was the father of Emperor Xuan's empress Yang Lihua to use his status as a foreign relative to control the government. In terms of government and government, it conformed to the will of the people, allowed the people to cultivate and live, abolished Emperor Xuan's harsh policies, and adopted a more moderate and effective way to manage the government.
However, Yang Jian's control of the government as a foreign relative caused the interests of the Northern Zhou clan to suffer losses, thus causing a large number of dissatisfaction from the Northern Zhou clan. They wanted Yang Jian to hand over power on the grounds that Yang Jian's surname was Not Yuwen, but how could Yang Jian, who was accustomed to monopolizing power, be willing to give up the power in his hands, so Yang Jian gradually had the idea of wanting to establish himself as king.
Despite this idea, after all, it was a crime of rebellion and could not be so hastily decided, so Yang Jian summoned a group of henchmen to the palace in the middle of the night to discuss. Among them, The Taishi Zhongdafu Yu Ji took Yang Jian's fate to take Ji, and from an early age, he was the chosen one to persuade Yang Jian to become emperor himself. His wife, Lone Garo, also agreed, believing that it was better to fight to the death.
Finally, Yang Jian made up his mind to tighten his grip on power more centrally, and began to launch a political struggle against the Northern Zhou Sect. The Northern Zhou clan did not sit still, and they launched a counter-offensive to maintain their power.
However, Yang Jian won the support of the people by virtue of his advantage of being in power for many years, the advice of Xiannei to help dugu Jialuo, and the contributions he made to the people over the years, and successfully seized power to establish the Sui Dynasty. The establishment of the Sui Dynasty ended hundreds of years of division and division, in gratitude for its exploits. As a result, Yang Jian was made Emperor Wen of Sui.
Second, Garo's growth experience
"After the three daughters are sealed, the seven sons are all marquises" is the evaluation of dugu xin in later generations. Dugu Xin experienced three dynasties, but he was still one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms with heavy troops, and his seventh daughter Dugu Jialuo was Yang Jian's empress, and also the dugu empress who was called "Second Sage" with Emperor Wen of Sui.
Born in the core family of the regime, plus being the concubine of Dugu Xin, so she did not have the right to choose her own choice for marriage, and she was married into the Yang family at the age of 14 and became Yang Jian's wife. However, unfortunately, in the same year of marriage, his father Dugu Xin lost the power struggle and the whole family was exiled, fortunately, Although Yang Jian and Jia Luo were married, they had a deep affection and were not exiled.
Although Garo was not exiled, he also affected his husband Yang Jian, who did not have a promotion for many years and even suffered from the fear of his life. But Garo used his beauty, wisdom, and wrist to accompany Yang Jian through the most difficult times. Later, because of his marriage with the then Northern Zhou prince, he took power and became a powerful minister at that time.
Yang Jian was jealous of the Northern Zhou Emperor and faced with the choice of decentralization and rebellion, so Dugu Jia Luo did not hesitate to support her husband to seize power, and became her husband's best military teacher to solve her husband's problems. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he repeatedly helped her husband solve the affairs of the DPRK and helped her husband stabilize the situation, and was the sage, military and spiritual pillar of Emperor Wen of Sui.
Third, the emotional experience of the two people
In the feudal dynasty, the emperor had three wives and four concubines, and there were few exceptions, but few did not mean that there were none. Among them, the two emperors of the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian and the Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youfan had only one wife. However, unlike Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, Zhu Youfan chose to live once in a lifetime out of love for his wife, and Yang Jian was more afraid of his wife.
Emperor Wen of Sui and The Dugu Empress were married when they were young, and although the Dugu Empress was affected by her father's failure in political struggle, the relationship between the two never changed, and they also had ten children, but the men were always happy with the new and tired of the old. Soon after Emperor Yang Jian of Sui Wen was emperor at the time, he wanted to set up another concubine, and wanted three wives and four concubines, which was also a means of wooing the powerful ministers.
But how could the LoneLy Queen have allowed this to happen so easily? The Dugu Empress was cultivated by the family from a young age, and later accompanied Yang Jian to rebel and establish the Sui Dynasty, and those who had experienced such a life could not accept her husband's half-heartedness, so she agreed with her husband that she could only have children with her, and Yang Jian saw that Jia Luo, who had such a firm attitude, agreed.
Even though Emperor Yang Jian of Sui promised to have children only with the Dugu Empress, the concubines of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards of the harem often made the Dugu Empress jealous. Among them, Emperor Wen of Sui once favored a palace girl, and then accidentally saw by the Lone Empress, who ordered the execution of the palace girl at that time, and the decision of the Lone Empress made Emperor Wen of Sui feel ashamed.
After the Dugu Empress ordered the execution of the palace maid, The Sui Emperor Yang Jian was clamoring to run away from home. However, under the persuasion of the chancellor, he could only obediently put away his temper and return to the palace, and at the same time, the Dugu Empress also apologized to Emperor Wen of Sui for this. It can be seen from this incident that Emperor Wen of Sui did not want to live a lifetime of one or two people, but only because of the strong and jealous personality of the Lone Empress, he had to dismiss the harem.
The Dugu Empress and the Sui Emperor Yang Jian walked hand in hand for forty-five years and then died in the Yong'an Palace. When the empress Dowager Jia Luo came out of the funeral, Yang Jian, who lived a simple life, arranged the funeral with the highest specifications and personally helped the lonely queen to be buried, and the ninety-five supremes who were over sixty years old cried like a child at the funeral. Two years later, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui died, and the two were buried together in Tailing.
4. Summary
Emperor Yang Jian of sui and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming were among the few emperors in history who did not have so many wives and concubines. The Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian and Empress Dowager Jia Luo walked hand in hand for half a lifetime, although Yang Jian repeatedly proposed or implemented the idea of taking concubines, but they were all stopped by Empress Du Lonely Garo in various ways, perhaps Yang Jian also had some of the attributes of the current wife's strict management, and did not dare to resist Jia Luo too much.
Emperor Yang Jian of sui was one of the most affectionate emperors in history, and his relationship with Dugu Jialuo was often praised by later generations. However, the two were not a lifetime and a couple, but the lone garo was too jealous, and little by little he solved the warblers and swallows in the harem of Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui had no choice, but the feelings of the two of them working together for half a lifetime were also very deep.
