We modern people have such a saying that the daughter is the lover of the father's previous life, which is about the problem of the father pampering the daughter. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, when the daughter grows up, as an old father, she will think of finding a good mother-in-law for her daughter. For example, when we see the TV series, the old man who picked a son-in-law for his daughter was carefully considered again and again, his eldest daughter married a good family, and the younger daughter Rulan chose a cultured talent. Let's open the history to see that there is also such a good father who chooses a son-in-law for his daughter, and the choice is first-class.
This father's vision is really good, and the son-in-law chosen for the three daughters, all of whom later became the emperor's good son-in-law, can be described as a good father's classic. This old father was from the Northern Wei Dynasty and was called Dugu Xin. Of course, DuGuxin's origin is also good, to be talented, to have a good look, so his own daughters are also beautiful as flowers. Dugu Xin was a high official, and he had always served Emperor Xiaowu, so his status and family lineage were very famous at that time.
He had three beautiful daughters under his knees who were almost of marriageable age, so the old father began to worry about his daughter's marriage and began to choose a son-in-law everywhere that he liked. He chose yuwen yu for his eldest daughter, who later became the emperor of Northern Zhou, so his eldest daughter naturally became an empress, the historically recorded Empress Mingjing. His second daughter married better, his son was the later Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and her husband did not give her the status of empress, but the son gave her the status of Empress Yuanzhen.
Let's take a look at how his third daughter is married. This daughter can be said to be married to a love, married a good husband, is called Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, so the third daughter has become a famous lonely empress. The husband of the third daughter was still very afraid of his wife when he became emperor, and he was particularly good to the lonely empress. Judging from the harems of successive emperors, there are very few like Yang Jian who favors his own empress, and our lone empress's contribution to the Sui Dynasty is not small.
The fact that the daughter of the lonely family married was enough to see that the old father's eyes were poisonous, and the son-in-law he chose for his daughter was more than a cow, and they were all queens recorded in the history books. Dugu Xin's eldest daughter is known as Empress Mingjing in history, and the third daughter is called the Empress of Literature in history. Although his second daughter was not the empress honor given by her husband, she could not bear to give birth to a son who was an emperor and gave herself the title of Empress Yuanzhen.
