Lou Zhaojun was born in Huaishuo Town, one of the six towns of Northern Wei, of the Xianbei clan of Northern Wei, his grandfather was the Marquis of Zhending, and his father was given the title of Situ. He is a very intelligent person and is also very beautiful. At that time, many large families came to the door to propose relatives, but they were all rejected by her, and she felt that her marriage was resolutely decided by herself, and her parents had no choice. Once, when I was out, I saw Gao Huan, who was on duty at the head of the city, and was still an ordinary soldier at that time. I was very surprised and said, "This man is my husband."
So he took the initiative to let his maid go to Gao Huan and pass on her affection. But Gao Huan's family has been very poor since childhood, and her mother died early. He was brought up by his sister, and there was no bride price to mention. After Lou Zhaojun knew, he often gave Gao Huan money and asked him to marry him in a dowry. Although Lou Zhaojun's parents were very reluctant, they eventually got married as they wished. Gao Huan originally had high ambitions, and after marriage, he had the help of his wife, and Gao Huan also embarked on a career path.
He also scattered his family wealth to befriend the hero Haojie, and Lou Zhaojun often helped him with advice and became Gao Huan's xiannei helper. Later, Gao Huan became a powerful vassal of Eastern Wei and was given the title of King of Bohai, and Lou Zhaojun became the Princess of Bohai, and she gave Gao Huan six sons and two daughters. Later, his son Gao Yang forced the Eastern Wei Emperor to take the throne and establish Northern Qi, honoring him as empress dowager. She died at the age of 62 and was given the title of "Empress Wuming".
Empress Chai, originally a concubine of Li Cunxun, the founding emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, died after Li Cunxun's death. Li Siyuan was embraced and ascended to the throne of the emperor, and many concubines and palace ladies in the former harem were dismissed and sent home. Chai Shi was sent home in this way, and on the way home, when he was sheltering from the rain by the Yellow River, he happened to see Guo Wei, who was not clothed and had a great figure, and was still a small soldier of the horse infantry at that time, and at that time he had a heart of pity and made up his mind to marry him dead or alive.
At that time, her parents were also firmly opposed, saying: "You are a person who has served the emperor, and if you want to marry, you must also marry the emissaries of Jiedushi, how can you marry a small soldier?" She said: "He is a noble man, and the future is unlimited." Her parents looked very resolute, and there was no way to agree, so she gave half of the belongings she brought with her when she left the palace to her parents, and the other half was used as a dowry to marry Guo Wei in the hotel.
Since then, Guo Wei's birth has been greatly improved, especially moved by Chai's act of marrying, and has always been very good to her, and the relationship between the two is also very good. Later, Guo Wei indeed became the founding emperor of Later Zhou, although Chai had died at that time, he still posthumously named her Empress Shengmu, and never made an empress again, and later passed the throne to Empress Chai's nephew Chai Rong, who was the first Ming Emperor of the Five Dynasties.
