In 630 AD, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, Li Shimin ordered the execution of "Empress Xiao", who had married five emperors, and the general Li Jing whispered in Li Shimin's ear.
In order to live in harmony with the Great Sui Dynasty, Xiao Xiang, the Xiaoming Emperor of Western Liang, married his daughter Xiao to Yang Guang, the son of Emperor Suiwen, and not long after, Emperor Wen of Sui abdicated and Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui, officially ascended the throne, and made Xiao Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao, who was naturally beautiful, was deeply favored by Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui, and after marriage, Qinser was harmonious, husband and wife loved, and the two lived happily.
Yu Wenhe was a heavy minister of the Sui Dynasty, when the folklore "Emperor Xiao won the world", in 618 AD, he wanted to usurp the throne of the dynasty and marry Empress Xiao's old thief, Yu Wenjie launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, killed the Sui Emperor Yang Guang, proclaimed himself the emperor of Xu State, and got the coveted Empress Xiao, and Yu Wenji named her Xiao Shufei.
After Yu Wenhe was defeated by Dou Jiande in Liaocheng and killed him, Empress Xiao fell into the hands of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, and the beautiful Empress Xiao made Dou Jiande indulge in the harem all day and not think about imperial politics.
I heard that Dou Jiande had an empress who fell in love with the country, and the very powerful Turkic Han emperor at that time, Luo Khan, sent people to ask for Empress Xiao, and the weak Dou Jiande was forced to have no choice but to send Empress Xiao to Turk.
Zhiluo Khan set up a banquet, solemnly married Empress Xiao, and made her his princess, after too many ups and downs, Empress Xiao was determined to stay in Turk, and since then she has lived a happy life with the Great Khan with peace of mind, and Zhiluo Khan also cherishes Empress Xiao from a foreign country, and the two respect each other like guests.
However, not long after, Zhiluo Khan fell ill and died.
According to the Turkic traditional custom of "father dies and son succeeds", Empress Xiao wants to marry his son, which is contrary to morality and ethics for the Great Sui Dynasty, but Empress Xiao has no other way, and is forced to marry his son Jieli Khan.
Jieli Khan was an ambitious Turkic emperor who wanted to occupy the Central Plains and dominate the world, and in 624 he decided to devote all his forces to a war against the Tang Dynasty, only to be defeated by the clever Li Shimin.
In 630, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, and Jieli Khan was captured by the Tang general Zhang Baoxiang at Yin Mountain, and the Turks perished, and Empress Xiao was brought back to Chang'an, who had already married five emperors, "Empress Xiao", and Li Shimin ordered her to be executed.
Unexpectedly, the general Li Jing whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "Empress Xiao is a peerless beauty" and saved Empress Xiao.
Li Shimin, who was amorous by nature, ordered people to bring Empress Xiao to him, and fixed his eyes on "eyebrows like green feathers, skin like coagulation, beautiful face, like a fairy", Li Shimin was amazed: "There are such beautiful women in the world."
Immediately, 33-year-old Li Shimin included the 48-year-old Empress Xiao in the harem, named her Zhaorong, and spoiled her night and night.
Empress Xiao, who was born noble, has a beautiful face, like a heavenly immortal, through 6 emperors, her life has been upheaval and displaced, and her fate is ill-fated, but she survived the humiliation and burden, leaving a legend for thousands of years, worthy of the respect and admiration of future generations!
