Many well-known female historical figures have been tragic all their lives. Their marriages cannot be decided by themselves, and their fate is always determined by their parents. If her father was a powerful courtier, then she was likely to have to make a chip, for example, Cao Cao married a bunch of daughters to Emperor Xian of Han. However, among the daughters of the proprietors in history, Princess Leping is the most special one.
Princess Leping's father must be familiar to everyone: he was Yang Jian, the Emperor of Sui. Yang Jian was a famous ruler of northern Zhou, and when Dugu Xin saw pearls, he felt that Yang Jian's appearance was extraordinary and he would definitely have great achievements in the future, so he married his daughter Dugu Jialuo to him. Yang Jian and Dugu Jia luo have a very good relationship, after marriage, Du Gu Jia Luo gave birth to 5 sons and 5 daughters for him, and the eldest daughter was named Yang Lihua.
From the moment Yang Lihua was born, she was destined to experience extraordinary. She became empress at the age of 17, empress dowager at the age of 19, and her father became emperor at the age of 20, and she became a princess again, which is a unique situation in Chinese history. Yang Lihua was born in 561 AD, under the careful care of her mother Lonely Garo, she grew into a beautiful and virtuous, gentle lady.
During the reign of Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he greatly valued her father Yang Jian. Yuwen Hu was in charge of the imperial government and was jealous of Yang Jian, but Yang Jian escaped the other party's murder one by one. Later, Yuwen Yong killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu and took sole power; Yang Jian also inherited his father's title and was promoted to duke of Suiguo. Yuwen Yongli Made Yuwen Yun the Crown Prince, and wanted to choose a Xiannei assistant for his son, so he took a fancy to Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua naturally became a princess. In 578, Yuwen Yong died and Yuwen Yun took the throne, and he made Yang Lihua empress. According to the reason, the two are a young couple, Yang Lihua's conditions are good in all aspects, Yuwen Yun should like Yang Lihua very much, but it is a pity that Yuwen Yun is jealous of his father-in-law Yang Jian, and he is absurd and lustful: he saw his niece and daughter-in-law Wei Chi blazing and beautiful, so he directly rushed into the palace.
Moreover, Yuwen Yun was not satisfied with just appointing one empress. He desperately expanded the size of the harem, and then set up 4 pet concubines as empresses in a row, plus Yang Lihua, "five queens standing side by side", which is also a unique situation in Chinese history. Yang Lihua was very worried about her husband's body and often advised him to pay attention to her health, but she did not expect that this would make Yuwen Yun disgusted her, and even wanted to give her suicide.
Fortunately, Yang Lihua had a brave mother, and after hearing the news, Dugu Jia luo immediately entered the palace and prostrated her head to Yuwen Yun, and after the head was broken and bleeding, Yuwen Yun reluctantly agreed to forgive Yang Lihua, although she did not make a mistake at all. Yang Jian and his wife were so distressed to see their daughter suffered so much, and they discussed privately that they did not want to "trick me as a fish and meat by man with a knife", and it was better to be happy when they took charge of the heavens.
The opportunity soon came, Yuwen Yun was addicted to wine, and soon died, his crown prince was only 9 years old, Yang Jian took the opportunity to control the imperial government, in 581 AD to replace the Northern Zhou emperor and establish the Great Sui. As a result, Yang Lihua completed the transformation process from empress, to empress, and then to princess, although Yuwen Yun was not good to her, she still felt that her father's usurpation of the throne was not kind, and she was a little unhappy.
Yang Jian also lost money when facing his daughter, and he named Yang Lihua a princess of Leping, almost responding to every request. Yang Lihua did not want to remarry, she sighed that fortunately she only had a daughter, if it was a son, I am afraid that I would not be able to die well. To this end, Yang Lihua proposed to her father that her daughter must marry a good son-in-law, and the son-in-law's official position must be a pillar state. Yang Jian all agreed to her, and Yang Lihua enjoyed wealth and wealth from then on, living until she died at the age of 49.
