History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
As several famous dynasties in ancient China, the Sui Dynasty has its distinctive characteristics, Yang Jian founded the great unified Sui Dynasty, established immortal merits, and his founding merits are inseparable from his empress, and the Dugu Empress has always been revered as one of the most virtuous empresses in history, which has played a great role in Yang Jian's unification of China.
Empress Dowager Dugu Jialuo (543-602), the younger daughter of Sima Duguxin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was the empress of Emperor Wen of Sui. Dugu clan is good at reading, access to ancient and modern times, soft and filial piety, humble and self-preservation, very favored by the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, and is also an active supporter of Yang Jian' claim to be emperor.
There are many historical stories about the lonely queen, all of which are made a lot of descriptions of her noble character and humility, which shows that the lonely queen is not only a woman who is noble as an empress, but also a woman who knows the book and is virtuous and courteous, and many identity changes in history are flying around, favoritism and fraud of feminists, like the lonely queen, who is rigorous in handling things, and there are indeed not many nobles, which is worth learning and respecting for our descendants.
As an empress, and the family has been rich for generations, she does not bully others, nor does she love vanity, but strives to put the community first.
The empress loved to read and treat people kindly, and the officials respected him very much. At that time, the Turks and the Sui Dynasty traded and traded, and there were eight million pearls worth of pearls, and Yin Shou, the governor of Youzhou, was ready to buy them for the empress. When the LoneLy Queen heard this, she politely refused, and she said: Although the pearl is good, it is not something I use urgently. Now that the enemy has repeatedly violated the border, and the officers and men of our army are tired of conquest, it is better to reward these eight million to the meritorious people. This move was immediately rumored by the public and praised by hundreds of officials.
The governor of dauphin, Cui Changren, was a cousin of the Dugu Empress, who violated the laws of the country and was beheaded according to the law. Emperor Wen of Sui looked at the empress's face and intended to pardon him for his crimes. But the Lonely Queen said: How can the affairs of the state be taken care of by selfishness? So Cui Changren was put to death.
The Lonely Queen did not accept the pearl, but distributed it to meritorious people, and her cousin broke the law and committed crimes, but she did not favor favoritism because of her power. She did not show her sharp edge, so she also stayed away from the disaster, while also maintaining her own reputation. Therefore, we have to say that these actions of the Lone Queen are very clever.
The noble character of the Dugu Empress not only achieved her own lifelong fame, but also played a great role in Yang Jian's unification of China and the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. His exploits stand in the annals of history.
