Who could have imagined that Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who ended the 300-year split between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was actually a man who was afraid of his wife. The woman behind Yang Jian, what kind of means can she hold the emperor in the palm of her hand?
The empress of The Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian was named Dugu Jialuo, known as "Dugu Empress". The Lonely Empress was the youngest daughter of the Northern Zhou "Shangzhu Kingdom" Dugu Xin, who had 6 sons and 7 daughters, of whom 3 daughters became empresses successively. The Lonely Queen married Yang Jian at the age of 14, Yang Jian was 26 years old, Yang Jian was more than ten years older than the Lonely Queen, not to mention, his appearance was not standard. Although Yang Jian's father was Sikong of Northern Zhou, he was far worse than the Lonely Family. However, DuGuxin still took a fancy to Yang Jian at a glance, felt that his future achievements would not be small, and insisted on marrying his daughter to Yang Jian.
After Yang Jian and Dugu Jia Luo got married, the husband and wife loved each other, and there were five men and five women in total, the eldest of whom was called Yang Lihua, who later married Emperor Xuan of Zhou and was named "Empress Tianyuan".
In this way, the eldest sister of the Lonely Empress was the empress dowager, the daughter was the empress, and the mother's family was still the "Shangzhu Kingdom", so the Yang family became the most powerful family in the Northern Zhou. At this time, Yang Jian was also named "Shangzhu Guo" through his military merits, holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and his power was monstrous. Although Yang Jian's daughter married Emperor Xuan of Zhou, it could not eliminate Emperor Xuan of Zhou's suspicion of the Yang family. Emperor Xuan of Zhou said to Yang Lihua many times, "If Yang Jian provokes me, I will definitely kill your whole family." ”
Finally, in a quarrel, Emperor Xuan of Zhou and Yang Lihua made a big fuss and did not back down. Emperor Xuan of Zhou directly ordered Yang Lihua to be killed, and suddenly the Yang family was in a panic, and if this matter was not handled well, the Yang family might suffer because of it. The Dugu Empress immediately entered the palace to meet Emperor Xuan of Zhou, made reparations to Emperor Xuan of Zhou on behalf of her daughter, knelt on her knees and prostrated her head unceasingly, and the blood on her forehead flowed. Emperor Xuan of Zhou was helpless and could not offend the Yang family and the Du lone family at the same time, so he had to take back his life and no longer care.
With the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, the 8-year-old Emperor Jing of Zhou, yang Jian's grandson Yuwen Xian, succeeded to the throne. At this time, Yang Jian was already the "first person" in the DPRK and China, and he assisted the government as a "grand chancellor" and took charge of all major state affairs.
At this time, some people urged Yang Jian to stand on his own, and rumors spread among the people. The LoneLy Empress persuaded Yang Jian to endure a little longer, and there were still opposition forces that did not show up, and the time was not yet ripe. Sure enough, soon someone openly rebelled against Yang Jian, and a large number of people responded. Yang Jian held the power of soldiers and horses in his hands, and soon eliminated these forces. In this way, the voice of opposition in the world is even smaller.
Then Emperor Jing of Zhou made Yang Jian the "King of Sui", and the upper court could not kneel, could also use a sword to the temple, and even used a flag symbolizing the emperor. The Lone Empress paid attention to the public opinion of the world, and seeing that the people of the world did not have any reaction to this, she told Yang Jian that the time was ripe.
So Yang Jian made up his mind to abolish Emperor Jing of Zhou, proclaim himself emperor, and establish the "Sui Dynasty".
After becoming empress, Dugu Garo took charge of the harem. The Lone Empress decreed that no extravagant waste was allowed, that the women of the harem should not wear ornate clothes, and that they should not be allowed to approach the emperor at will. In the face of the empress's orders, although the concubines and concubines were dissatisfied, no one dared to disobey them. Because Yang Jian's new ascension to the throne, many state affairs were waiting to be handled, and she did not have the energy to spoil these women, and at first Yang Jian felt that this was very good.
But once, Yang Jian was attracted to a palace girl, and did not return to the palace of the LoneLy Empress that night. The next day, Yang Jian heard that the LoneLy Empress had beaten the palace girl to death. After Yang Jian heard about it, a man rode to a temple on horseback, crying bitterly, until he was found by the minister in the middle of the night, and then returned to the palace.
The Lonely Queen also knew that she had gone a little too far, and even apologized to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian was not good at saying anything, so she had to give up. However, in Yang Jian's heart, he still put the LoneLy Queen first.
The Lone Empress I was wise, but in the end, she made a big mistake on the issue of Li Chu, which directly led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. The Lonely Queen likes simplicity, but the crown prince Yang Yong is born to like luxury, and as a result, he is disliked by the Lonely Queen. Instead, Yang Guang threw himself into his favor, pretended to live frugally, deceived the Dugu Empress, and finally succeeded to the throne, which ended in ruining the Sui Dynasty.
