In 501, the Northern Wei Zhending Marquis Lou Ti gave birth to a granddaughter, named Lou Zhaojun. Many people may think that this woman is not a good person through the TV series Lu Zhen Legend, but in fact, it is not like this. In the TV series, Gao Zhan has a vendetta against her for killing her mother, but Lou Zhaojun is Gao Zhan's mother in history, so why kill her mother? In the TV series, Lou Zhaojun always wants to seize power, but in history, this world was originally taken by Lou Zhaojun and her husband. As for Lu Zhen, the real her is a lot of evil, compared with the Ming Dynasty Emperor Tianqi's nursing mother Keshi.
Lou Zhaojun was born as Miss Qianjin, and in order to cultivate her, her parents spent a lot of thought on her. And this child has been very smart since he was a child, and when he grows up, many Hao clans have gone to her to propose to her, even the princes and nobles, but Lou Zhaojun did not agree. With the favor of her parents, she wanted to find a husband for herself. Once, when she went out shopping, she suddenly saw Gao Huan serving on the city tower.
Gao Huan's father was a wandering and wandering son, and the family property was actually gone by the time he was born. And Gao Huan, who is a Han Chinese, is naturally unpopular in a place where there are piles of humble people. Obviously, he had no future to speak of, and when he met Lou Zhaojun, he was serving at the city gate. Coincidentally, the big lady who could not be looked up to by the princes and nobles looked up to him and said at a glance: This person is my husband.
Knowing that Gao Huan had not yet married a wife, she asked her maid to go and express her heart to Gao Huan. He also gave his private property to him several times, because he was afraid that Gao Huan would not have the money to marry her, and this rich woman could be said to be a pie in the sky for Gao Huan. Young and beautiful, not to mention, there is money, and he is very intelligent and virtuous. Gao Huan naturally had no opinion, and at the beginning, Lou Zhaojun's parents were very opposed. I think that Lou Zhaojun, such a daughter of an aristocrat, can completely find a door to be right.
But Lou Zhaojun insisted, so he had to fulfill his daughter's heart, relying on Lou Zhaojun's dowry, Gao Huan began the road to soaring. And Lou Zhaojun could not only give him the dowry, but also give him advice, and gradually, Gao Huan had the idea of clarifying the world. Not long after, Gao Huan became the King of Bohai, and Lou Zhaojun also became a princess. It was only a matter of time before Gao Huan had great power in his hands and became emperor, but before Gao Huan could seize the world, he died in the fifth year of Wuding (547).
His position was naturally inherited by Lou Zhaojun's son, who gave birth to six sons and two daughters. Among them were three emperors and two empresses. The eldest son, Gao Cheng, died two years after succeeding to the throne, and the second son, Gao Yang, succeeded his father. In the first year of Tianbao (550), Northern Qi was established, and Lou Zhaojun became the empress dowager, but her husband was very good, but her son did not teach well. After Gao Yang established Northern Qi, he fainted and was brutal, and died of illness soon after.
Subsequently, Gao Yan seized the throne of Gao Yang's son, and Gao Yan carefully managed the country. However, he died at the age of 27. In the end, Lou Zhaojun's fifth son Gao Zhan became emperor again, so the emperor changed three or four, and Lou Zhaojun was still the empress dowager. During Gao Zhan's reign, he favored his courtiers, which led to chaos in the government. But at this time, Lou Zhaojun had no strength to take care of it, she was old, and she was often sick. On April 25, 562, the second year of Taining (562), Lou Zhaojun died at the age of 62. Her son Gao Huan died six years later due to excessive alcoholism, and Northern Qi was destroyed in 577.
