She committed the crime of Peach Blossom and married six times in her lifetime, her husbands were emperors, and the six emperors were fascinated by her.
More than half a hundred years old is still charming, and in his fifties he was still included in the harem by Li Shimin.
The three dynasties were fought over by six emperors, so why did she do nothing to capture the favor of the kings of the three dynasties?
What kind of charm does she have? What was the life of the legendary Empress Xiao?
Xiao was born in Jiangnan in February 567, the daughter of Emperor Xiaoming of Western Liang, Xiao Yue, and her mother was Empress Zhang.
Although she was the emperor's daughter, local customs believed that any child born in February would bring disaster to the family.
His parents believed in customs and refused to raise Xiao, and the newly born Xiao was raised by his father to his brother Dongping Wang.
Less than a year after Xiao's birth, both of Shaw's parents died.
The good times did not last long, and after birth, he lived with his uncle, and it was not long before his uncle's whole family fell ill and died one after another.
Xiao was then sent to his uncle Zhang Ke's house, who was a subordinate of his uncle, but the family life was quite poor.
The Xiao family, who is a princess, has lived a hard life since living with her uncle, and began to take care of housework when she was a little older.
Born in an imperial family, he did not enjoy the treatment of a princess at birth.
Although she did not enjoy the treatment of a princess, this did not mean that her life was not good.
On the contrary, the various sufferings she experienced as a child actually allowed her to enjoy endless blessings in the future.
As he grew older, Xiao's posture began to bloom slowly.
The pavilion that emerges and falls is like a delicate flower bone.
Since childhood in Jiangnan folk life, gentle personality, has a unique charm of Jiangnan women.
Everywhere she went, it was the focus, it was very eye-catching, how was she discovered by the Sui Dynasty royal family?
When Emperor Wen of Sui was looking for a concubine for his son Yang Guang, Emperor Xiaoming of Western Liang gathered the family to find a daughter who matched yang Guang, the King of Jin, to marry.
But after choosing a large circle, there was no suitable one, and suddenly remembered the Xiao family who was fostered in his uncle's house.
Mr. KanXiang combined the two characters, and this female mother Yi Tianxia ordered the peach blossom, which is quite consistent with Yang Guang's eight characters, and belongs to the image of great auspiciousness.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang, the most famous feng shui master in the Southern Dynasty, only counted for two women in his life.
One was Xiao Shi, and the other was the First Empress Wu Zetian.
It can be deduced that Wu Zetian became an empress, but it is not something that ordinary master looks at can do.
Nowadays, the eight characters describe Xiao Shi, and the credibility is extremely high.
For a time, Xiao became a sought-after commodity in the crowd, but Emperor Wen of Sui did not want to become his son Princess Yang Guang after hearing about it.
However, after meeting Xiao, Yang Guang was attracted by Xiao's beauty, and eventually Xiao was officially selected as the Princess of Jin.
In 582, the 13-year-old Xiao entered the palace to marry Yang Guang, becoming the favorite empress of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang's life.
Yang Guang once wrote a love poem for Xiao Shi
Gangneung Women's Song
Rain fell from the sky and water flowed down from the bridge.
Pick up the bride's skirt, and tie the knot at both ends.
The short poem of just two crosses fully expresses how strong Yang Guang's love for Xiao is.
It is not only Yang Guang's xian neisuke, but also a beautiful object that suppresses the crowd and has an unshakable position in the harem.
The reason why the clever Yang Guang has long favored Xiao Shi is because he knows how to please his parents.
At that time, his father Yang Jian had a different dream, dreaming that a god was going to reincarnate in Yang Jian's family.
It didn't take long for Xiao to become pregnant, and from then on, Yang Jian paid more attention to Yang Guang and his wife.
The most important thing is that Xiao's various performances make her mother the Lone Queen very trusted and favored.
Yang Guang wanted to bypass his brother Yang Yong to become emperor, and the biggest contributor was Xiao Shi.
Xiao was born in the royal family since childhood and is very familiar with the struggle within the royal family.
After entering the palace, he used his talent and beauty to make a lot of efforts for Yang Guang to ascend the throne, and made a lot of contacts in a short period of time.
From 582 to 604, Yang Guang deliberately pretended to be frugal in order to seize the concubine, and Xiao Shi was also extremely cooperative with her.
These years have also become the happiest days in Xiao's life, where he was favored by Yang Guang and gave birth to three sons and a daughter.
After Yang Guang ascended to power, Xiao became a crown princess from Princess Jin and eventually Empress Xiao.
Unfortunately, after marrying a faint monarch, Yang Guang indulged in beauty all day after he ascended the throne and ignored the government.
Empress Xiao's several attempts to persuade her were fruitless, so she was saddled with many insults, and eventually the Yuwen brothers rebelled and killed.
Empress Xiao, who had lost her main heart, escaped with her young grandson and the daughters of the royal family.
After the death of the Sui Emperor, Yu Wenhua immediately sent someone to look for Empress Xiao, and when he first became a minister, he worshipped Empress Xiao.
Now she is the boss of the palace, but Empress Xiao asks for an emperor-sized funeral for Yang Guang.
After the Sui Emperor was buried, Yu Wenhua and ascended the throne to make Empress Xiao a concubine, and she was extremely fond of Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao married Yu Wenhua, who had already become emperor, for the second time, a man about the same age as her son.
Empress Xiao's biological daughter, Princess Nanyang, married Yu Wenhua's younger brother, and her mother and daughter became concubines.
Since then, Yu Culture and the curse of the red face and the water, trapped in the harem can not extricate themselves, ignored the government was snatched away by Cao Kou Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande then took Empress Xiao away, already married to Empress Xiao, who had married two of the emperor's husbands.
After being taken away by Dou Jiande, he was not treated inhumanely, but instead treated him with courtesy and declared himself a vassal to Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao was quite touched to see Dou Jiande's move and did her best to help Dou Jiande win the world.
Eventually, Dou Jiande began to be proud, listened to rumors, and gradually went downhill.
The wife of the Turkic Khan was a princess of the Sui Dynasty in the early years, and she took the initiative to ask the Khan to return Empress Xiao to Dou Jiande.
In the face of the strong Turks, in exchange for peace, Dou Jiande had no choice but to send Empress Xiao to the Turks by hand.
As a result, as soon as Empress Xiao arrived in Turkistan, she was favored by the Khan and asked empress Xiao for perfection.
In desperation, she became a woman of the Turkic Khan, who was empress Xiao's fourth husband.
No one could have imagined that Empress Xiao's fourth husband died of illness not long after.
The khan's position was inherited by his younger brother, and the wife of the previous khan was also inherited by the new khan.
Empress Xiao once again married the new Khan and lived in turks for nearly a decade.
She thought that she would stay in the Turkic lands for this life, and she might be abandoned by the Khan because of her old age and decline, and finally buried in place for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, after Li Jing destroyed the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the 63-year-old Empress Xiao was taken back to the palace by Li Shimin, and the Empress Xiao, who had experienced several emperors, was welcomed to Chang'an Xingdaoli.
Li Shimin and Empress Xiao were cousins and nephews, but Empress Xiao, who was more than half a hundred years old, exuded the charm of a mature woman everywhere.
For the first half of his life, he had been living a turbulent and wandering life, with a pitiful posture on his face.
Arousing Li Shimin's desire for protection, Li Shimin, who had compassion for Empress Xiao, became her sixth husband.
However, li Shimin forced his father Li Yuanchan to take the throne, relying on the power of empress dowager and the eldest grandson family behind it, and empress dowager And Li Shimin were even more affectionate.
Empress Xiao was also the empress of the former Sui Dynasty Emperor, if Li Shimin wanted to be included in the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace, I am afraid that empress eldest sun would be difficult to pass, as to whether she married Li Shimin in the end, who can say clearly?
According to the average age of the ancients in their 30s, the 63-year-old Empress Xiao is almost like the current centenarian.
How could Li Shimin take a fancy to such an old woman who was nearly half a hundred years old?
It should be known that before empress Xiao appeared, Empress Wenxuan of Northern Qi, li shi, in addition to her husband, there were three men, four of whom were emperor-level figures.
But one of Li's men is a big uncle and two are little uncles, and their positions believe in Hu customs.
If the emperor, who attaches great importance to his own reputation, marries his own relatives, he will not become the laughing stock of the world.
From childhood, Mr. Xiang saw that he had a peach blossom in his life, and he was loved by men in his life, and the men he married were all emperors, which showed how unusual this woman was.
Although Empress Xiao had a hard childhood, she lived a very happy life after marriage.
During his lifetime, he wandered among the six emperors, standing in the chaotic world only by virtue of his beauty, and was called the Liuwei Dihuang Pill by posterity.
After six husbands in her life, she was still a long-lived woman.
In 647, Empress Xiao died at the age of eighty-one and was buried with the Sui Emperor Yang Guang as empress.
Empress Xiao, a woman who has tasted the sufferings of the world, has been like a trophy in her life, and she has changed hands several times.
When she was in her sixties, she returned to her hometown, and finally lived a stable life in her later years, and she was also a woman with a hard life.
But such a rich life experience in her life is also the envy of many queens.
Such a combination of talent and beauty, it is no wonder that so many emperors fell under her pomegranate skirt!
