In feudal society, many people's thinking was imprisoned, so everyone was more or less superstitious, and in that period, people blamed many things on the arrangements of heaven, thinking that all these things happened to have a certain significance, in the thousands of years of feudal history in our country, we can see the legendary life of many emperors, because of political needs, we also see that when those emperors are born, they often have visions in heaven, and all of these are for them to be able to better rule the world's subjects.
We often see in the history books that when the emperor was born, the vision of heaven descended, in fact, some great women were also like this at birth, and one of these women can be called born legendary, her uncle is the emperor, the husband is the founding emperor, the son is the emperor of the ages, she is the Dou clan.
Dou shi is the daughter of the princess xiangyang of northern Zhou, and her uncle is northern Zhou Yuwen Yong, Dou clan was born different from others, according to historical records, Dou clan "was born and hair hanging over the neck, three years old and body" When she was three years old, her hair was as long as her body, her uncle Yuwen Yong was very fond of her, Dou grew up in the palace, and with the passage of time, Dou also grew into a lovely person, and countless people came to the door every day to propose relatives, which was bitter to his father Dou Yi, for this reason, his father held a queping selection for her.
In this selection of sons-in-law, Li Yuan won the first place, so he became the husband of The Dou clan, after the Dou clan married the husband, the two were very affectionate, and then the Dou clan also gave birth to 4 sons and 1 daughter for the Li family, the Dou clan not only understood the husband, but also very filial to the mother-in-law, therefore, she was also very favored by the mother-in-law, in addition to dancing with her husband every day, Dou Shi was also a very intelligent woman, she often helped Li Yuan to give advice, but it is a pity that such a woman died of illness too early.
For the death of Dou, Li Yuan was deeply saddened, after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he posthumously named Dou as Empress Mu, but unfortunately, although Dou had the title of empress, he did not enjoy the treatment of an empress for a day, and after the world of Northern Zhou was forcibly occupied by Emperor Wen of Sui, Dou once said, "Hate me for not being a boy, otherwise it will help her uncle's family to solve problems" However, in the end, her husband Li Yuan also avenged her uncle and destroyed the Sui Dynasty.
Among the sons born by Dou for Li Yuan, there is Li Shimin, Li Shimin in history, we call "The Emperor of the Ages" I have to say that this woman of the Dou clan is really very great, her uncle is the emperor, her husband is the founding emperor Li Yuan, and her son Li Shimin is called "the Emperor of the Ages" Her life is really legendary.
