The marriage between Yang Jian and Dugu Jia luo is indeed enviable, Yang Jian has loved Du Lonely Jia Luo for more than forty years, and the children are all born of Du Lonely Jia Luo, but Yang Jian's statement that there is no concubine room for more than forty years is wrong, in fact, Yang Jian has always had concubines, but the number is relatively small, and the status of the concubine room is relatively low, all within the control of Du LoneLy Jia Luo.
After Yang Jian ascended the throne, in the second year of the kai emperor, together with the lone empress formulated the harem regulations, the lonely queen personally participated in the customization, naturally will fight for their own greatest interests, according to the provisions of the Zhou Li, the harem of the Son of Heaven is generally the third lady, the ninth concubine, the twenty-seventh wife and the eighty-one imperial wives, although each dynasty will be different, but generally according to this standard slightly added and deleted.
At that time, there were only three concubines of Zheng Sanpin, nine concubines of Zheng Wupin, and thirty-eight female concubines (imperial daughters or imperial wives) of Zheng Qipin, and the lonely empress "had a jealous heart, and the position of a concubine, and did not set up three concubines to prevent her from being forced." Sixty members below the concubine. "And the Lone Queen also lowered their rank."
From this, we can see that Yang Jian had concubines at the beginning of his succession, but the number was small, and the quality was low, all of which could not threaten the existence of the lone queen, Yang Jian only occasionally blessed these concubines, and the only one who was favored was always the lone queen. The two known concubines of Yang Jian were the later Lady Xuanhua and Lady Ronghua.
Lady Xuanhua and Lady Ronghua were both Chen Guoren, who entered the palace after the destruction of the Chen Dynasty, but their identities were different, and Lady Xuanhua Chen was the daughter of Emperor Xuan of Chen and the sister of Chen Shubao, Princess Ningyuan. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, Princess Ningyuan was enslaved as a royal family of the Chen Dynasty, and later became Yang Jian's concubine, becoming one of the three concubines. The identity of Ronghua's wife Cai Shi is unknown, and after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, she was elected to the harem and became one of the Ninth Wives.
Both the Chen and Cai clans became Yang Jian's concubines before the dugu empress was born, and the Sui Shu Houfei has relevant records: "When the dugu empress was jealous, the harem rarely entered the palace, but the Chen clan had favors." And cai shi "died with the empress of literature, and Xi dejin was lucky." ”
From this, we can see that when the Dugu Empress was alive, chen and Cai were already Concubines of Yang Jian, and the Chen clan was more favored, while the Cai clan was snubbed. Yang Guang was able to replace his brother Yang Yong as the crown prince of the empire, which also had the credit of the Chen clan, when Yang Guang gave Chen a large amount of money every time he returned to Kyoto, the purpose was naturally to hope that the Chen clan could say a few kind words for him in front of Yang Jian, and the Chen clan did help Yang Guang a lot.
However, before the death of the Dugu Empress, the status of the Chen and Cai clans was not high, and the Chen clan was only the concubine of Zheng Sanpin, and the Cai clan was the concubine of Zheng Wupin, and later the Du Lonely Empress died, and the Chen and Cai clan were crowned as nobles, and the Sui Shu Hou Concubine recorded: "After the collapse of the literature, three members of the nobles were initially placed, and nine members were added, twenty-seven members of the worldly women, and eighty-one members of the imperial daughters." ”
That is to say, after the death of the Dugu Empress, Yang Jian expanded the harem, and the Chen and Cai clans, as nobles, were in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. Therefore, there was no such thing as Yang Jian not having a concubine for forty years. An emperor only has an empress and no concubines, which is basically impossible in ancient times, after all, many times, the empress concubines, not only to expand the harem, but also for political considerations.
Therefore, even Yang Jian could not really only have the lonely queen as a wife and not any concubines, but could only say that he had very few concubines, and these concubines were all within the control of the lonely queen, and would not take the favor of the lonely queen, but there were exceptions to everything. In the 1990s, Yang Jian met a palace maid at Renshou Palace, namely Wei Chi's granddaughter Wei Chi. Wei Chiyi once stood up against Yang Jian when Yang Jian was in charge of the imperial government in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and after the failure, the female relatives of Wei Chi's family were enslaved in the court, and Wei Chiyi's granddaughter Wei Chi went to Renshou Palace to become a palace maid.
Yang Jian went to Renshou Palace to escape the summer, met Wei Chi, and then lin fortunately Wei Chi, since then, Yang Jian has always been fortunate to be wei Chi, which makes the dugu empress very angry, you know, in the past few decades, in addition to the dugu empress, Yang Jian has never been so infatuated with a woman, which makes the dugu empress jealous crazy, so when Yang Jian went to the court, the dugu empress killed wei Chishi, and the angry Yang Jian ran into the valley and did not want to come back for a long time, until the middle of the night.
Wei Chi should be regarded as the only variable between Yang Jian and the Dugu Empress, and since then, the Dugu Empress's jealousy has increased, even to the point of perversion. But even Wei Chi did not really affect the feelings between Yang Jian and the LoneLy Empress. And Yang Jian also spent his life to fulfill the promise he made to the LoneLy Queen, that is, to "swear to be a son of no alien birth". Yang Jian had a total of ten children, all of whom were born to the LoneLy Empress, and such affection was really quite rare to put on an emperor.
