As we all know, the necessary factors of beauty: appearance and body shape. There are a lot of handsome guys and beautiful women on TV. But this time I want to talk about the great beauty in history: Empress Xiao. That is, one of the famous legendary queens also ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Empress Xiao in history, her figure is explosive, and her appearance is against the sky. She was also the empress of the Four Dynasties, capturing the hearts of 6 men. She began to marry the Princess of Jin in the Sui Dynasty at the age of thirteen, and went through six husbands, including Yang Guang, Yu Wenhua, Dou Jiande, Turkic Chuluo Khan, Jili Khan and Li Shimin, although she was a captive daughter for half a lifetime, her charm did not decrease but increased, until she died happily in the Tang Palace at the age of sixty-seven. China's four beautiful women are sinking fish and falling geese and closing the moon and shy flowers, but if you ask who is the most beautiful in history, I believe it should be Empress Xiao, who has served five emperors. There are countless red-faced women in history who have been in the limelight and are obsessed with the country, but there are very few women who can change dynasties like Empress Xiao and always accompany the king's side.
Duckweed
In fact, Empress Xiao's life is still quite pitiful, according to the current version, it can interpret a Mary Sue plot. She was originally a princess of the Liang Dynasty, but because her father (Emperor Xiaoming of Western Liang at the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties) was a feudal and superstitious lord, she thought that she was a lone star in heaven, so she directly sent his cousin for adoption... To say that the sister is also a bitter fate, after the death of her adoptive father, she was adopted by her uncle Zhang Ke. Halfway through, it was very poor and miserable. But fate will not abandon this beauty ~ when she was eight years old, God still took care of her!
First husband
Emperor Yang Jian of Sui launched a war against the Chen Dynasty and sent his son Yang Guang to attack. At that time, Yang Guangnian Fang Twenty-one was still a brave young general, and he took down the Chen Dynasty in one fell swoop. The Sui Dynasty completed national unification. Emperor Wen of Sui was very happy, and when he thought about it, he could no longer show my son's demeanor. I'm going to pick him the best daughter-in-law in the whole world!" Therefore, he told the world that all of them would submit the birthday of their unmarried daughters to the court in order to select a numerological princess for Yang Guang. Fortunately, her birthday was quite suitable, so she was selected and successfully became Yang Guang's child bride.
Yes, you heard it right! child bride!!!
Because of the woman's age and not getting married immediately after entering the palace, the LoneLy Queen was very fond of this young and lovely little daughter-in-law, raised her as her own daughter, and invited many masters for her to teach her to read, compose, paint, and play the kite. The clever Xiao women learned what is like, often a little bit of understanding, four or five years later, she not only came out into a bright and beautiful little beauty, but also knowledgeable and versatile. At that time, there was a feng shui master named Yuan Tiangang who was very famous and gave her a calculation: "Mother Yi tianxia, fate with peach blossoms." This means that Xiao Meimei is when the queen is in front and the peach blossom is in the back, sooner or later she will have to kill a "flower picker". But Yang Guang only listened to the first half of the sentence, thinking that she was his lucky star. So he pampered her. It seems that sometimes fortune tellers can still blind cats meet a dead rat ~ Heavenly Lone Star seems to be not her father, but her husband Ah ~ ~ ~ ~
The beginning of the Queen
Seven years after Yang Guang's marriage to Concubine Xiao, Yang Guang smoothly changed from prince to crown prince and plotted to kill Emperor Wen of Sui, the founder of the Sui Dynasty. She ascended to the throne of the canon in advance, and she also successfully became the empress. The world is known as Empress Xiao. Yang Guang is famous for her lust, and as an empress, she knows that she has fallen out of favor and simply treats her with a free-range mentality. Yang Guang still had a bit of a conscience, and while enjoying himself, he did not forget Empress Xiao. Because of her forbearance and generosity, she has always been respectful.
Second husband
So-called, fish and bear paws can not be both. Excessive attention to sexual affairs is bound to neglect state affairs. Yang Guang was unscrupulous, the rebels rose and fell, and the situation was turbulent. The rebel Yu Wenhua and the Sui Dynasty, which had moved the capital to Nanjing, were attacked, and Yang Guang was hanged. Yu Wenhua had a crush on Empress Xiao at an early age and threatened her son. Forced her to become her own side room. Later, Yu Wenhua and self-proclaimed himself as Emperor Xu and changed his name to Empress Xiao as Concubine Shu.
Three husbands
The rebels are ongoing and the situation remains volatile. The leader of the peasant army, Dou Jiande, the King of Xia, defeated Yu Wenhua and collected his soldiers, horses and belongings, of course, it was impossible to spare the beautiful Empress Xiao and take them under his command. In fact, at this time, Empress Xiao's heart was rejected. Thinking of a peasant rebel army, the good point is the leader, and the bad point is the mountain village man, the rabble. No matter how she was once a queen, her beautiful appearance and noble temperament are still not reduced. How can you be married to such a person? But no matter how unwilling I am, I can only swallow my anger and swallow.
Four husbands
The Period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties was also a period of vigorous turkic development. Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, who was originally married to the Turks, was the sister of the Sui Emperor, that is, the sister-in-law of Empress Xiao. After several turns, he finally found out that his niece and daughter-in-law were in the hands of the rebel army. This is not okay, our country is destroyed and the family is dead, but we can't insult the family voice. So he asked his husband, the third monarch of the Eastern Turks, to take the people back. Dou Jiande did not dare to confront the powerful Turks. I had to give up my hand to send the beauty out. However, what Princess Yicheng did not expect was that Empress Xiao was already beautiful in the sky, and as soon as she arrived outside Saiwai, she captured the hearts of Luo Khan and Jieli Khan, the two generations of Turkic father and son. At this time, she is already half old Xu Niang's age, but she still has no change in charm, but has more beauty of mature women. Princess Yicheng is not jealous, after all, she is in turkistan, so she must follow the customs and customs of the country and adapt to the customs and rules here. Her kind words of persuasion reassured the somewhat shy Empress Xiao, and the two sisters-in-law served the Khan together without distraction.
Five husbands
What Empress Xiao did not expect was that shortly after getting married, Luo Khan died. So Jieli Khan ascended to the throne, the Xiongnu had sons to inherit their father's Fu clan, and the Turks also had this tradition. In other words, the son can inherit the father's wife. Regarded as the supreme honor of the Turkic monarch. Therefore, Jieli Khan, who was already infatuated with Empress Xiao, naturally accepted Empress Xiao, and for a time, she actually favored the grassland and became the most favored Turkic princess. Time raced for more than 10 years ~ when Empress Xiao already thought that she might eventually grow old in the grassland, but the rest of her life. We are all ready to be the princess of the prairie for a lifetime. Who would have thought that in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, a great general of the Tang Tai Sect, would break the Turks and the fourth husband would also be defeated. Once again, she became a captive.
Six husbands
His last husband was Li Shimin, the most famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You want to say Li Shimin is? Not really. As the old saying goes, "Food color, sex also." "Li Shimin is also a man with three normal views, and of course he is also curious about the fame of the legendary empress." At this time, she was already forty-eight years old, and Li Shimin was only thirty-three years old, but from the first moment she saw her, Li Shimin was conquered by this old woman with a tall bun, a waist like a willow, and a face like a peony. Yes, the years did not leave too many traces on her, but because of the increase in age, they became more and more mature and beautiful, noble and cold.
Chastity advocates frugality, but for her sake. Tang Taizong spared no expense to hold a grand dinner. That night, the Tang Palace was illuminated, and the food on the table was extremely luxurious, changing the poverty and thriftiness of the past. The palace is full of joy! Tang Taizong asked Aunt Xiao next to him, "How does Qing think the scene in front of you compares to the Sui Palace?" ”。 In fact, the Sui Palace is more luxurious and luxurious, illuminated by night pearls, and dozens of flame mountains are set up in front of the temple, burning sandalwood and spices, which can make the temple shine like day, and there are strange fragrances around the beams, such as entering the fairyland. But who is Empress Xiao? She is a woman who has gone through four dynasties, has been a beautiful woman who has had 6 husbands, and has a high IQ and high appearance. So she just said calmly, "Your Majesty is a king who has established a foundation, so why should he be compared with the king of the fallen country?" ”
Tang Taizong was impressed by her clarity and propriety of words, and she was still a stunning person. Even though he was 17 years older, he still respected and loved her more and more. Since then, the Tang Palace has become her last destination, and 18 years later, she died alone at the age of sixty-seven. Li Shimin later buried Empress Xiao in Yang Guangzhi's mausoleum, Empress Dowager Xiao.
Bai Bing, the actor of Empress Xiao in "Sui and Tang Dynasty". Although it cannot be compared with the ancients, it is also portrayed in three points. Empress Xiao's turbulent and displaced life could eventually end in virtue. And the first in history. Beauty passes over time, what makes her so attractive? What is the magic that makes age just a number for her?
As the saying goes, "one white covers three ugly"
She should take the "White Rich Beauty" route
First of all, she was raised as a child bride from an early age, and it is needless to say that she was spoiled and habitual. The Sui Dynasty royal family, which had strong financial resources, certainly did not give her less nourishment ~ Later, as an empress, she was even more healthy ~ ~ Legend has it that Empress Xiao's skin was like gelatinous and warm as jade, so she was deeply loved by the king. She specially asked the imperial doctor to customize a beauty recipe for herself, which was later widely circulated as "three white soup". The medical work "Introduction to Medicine" records: "White peony, white art, white poria 5 grams each, licorice 2.5 grams, fried, warm serving." This formula is well matched and suitable for rough skin, yellowing, melasma, pigmentation and so on caused by qi and blood deficiency. Perhaps it is this oldest method that has created the most legendary "white rich beauty". However, from the perspective of modern medicine, the problem of body absorption of pure plant medicinal materials has always been a difficult problem, and it cannot be said that it is completely ineffective, if there is no refining and extraction of whitening elements, its absorption effect does vary from person to person.
So the girls ~ must adhere to the heart of love beauty ah ~ keep a good look and figure, you, let alone a man ~ no matter how many men will fall under your pomegranate skirt ah............ Finally, I hope that this little knowledge can let everyone know about it, learn about Empress Xiao's pampering and not be alarmed, calmly laugh at life, and always maintain a good attitude of normal heart.
