Lonely Xin, a Xianbei people, a person from Yunzhong, that is, a person near Datong, Shanxi. The veteran of the two dynasties, he was successively a senior military general of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When the young man was young, he was relatively handsome, and someone asked if he could eat it? Now I am very responsible to tell you that he can. Lonely letter is recorded in history, handsome in appearance, good at horseback riding and archery.
Why is Dugu Xin called the first father-in-law in the world during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and why is he so powerful?
The reason why Dugu Xin is called "the first father-in-law in the world" is because his three daughters all married the emperor and became empresses. His eldest daughter, Dugu, was married to Emperor Yuwenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was Empress Mingjing of Zhou; his fourth daughter, Dugu, was married to Li Yuan, the father of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty; and his seventh daughter, Dugu Jialuo, was married to Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, and was Empress Wenwen of the Sui Dynasty.
Duguxin is a Xianbei tribe and a privileged ethnic group of the Northern Dynasties. In addition, in the later period of the Northern Dynasties, the Guanlong group was an important political and military force, controlling the real power of the Northern Dynasties. Its representative figures are Yu Wentai, Li Xun, Yang Zhong and others, and this Dugu Xin happens to be one of them.
In order to strengthen internal relations, the Guanlong Group carried out extensive political marriages. So it is not surprising that Duguxin married his three daughters to the Yuwen family, the Li family and the Yang family respectively. In addition, there was only a 27-year gap between the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and the emperors of the three dynasties were all from the Guanlong Group, so Dugu Xin would have the magical title of "the first father-in-law in the world". However, Duguxin did not see all this. When Yu Wenyong ascended the throne, in order to prevent his relatives from dictatorship, Duguxin was forced to commit suicide. His eldest daughter was devastated and died three months later.
The eldest daughter, the wife of Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was nicknamed Empress Mingjing.
The fourth daughter, the wife of Tang Guogong Li Qi, and the mother of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen.
The seventh daughter is the famous Dugu Jialuo, the wife of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, Yang Guang's biological mother, and the queen of literature.
The rest are also briefly mentioned: the second daughter married Yuan Qi, the third daughter married Li Mu, and the fifth and sixth daughters married Liu Deredundant. Although they do not have the respect of the queen, they know that they have also married into the nobility of the gate valve by looking at the surname of the husband's family.
Therefore, the title of "the first father-in-law in the world" Dugu Xin is definitely worthy of it.
Duguxin was powerful because, on the one hand, he had outstanding military talent and political wisdom, and played an important role in the political arena during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He held important positions in the Northern Wei, Western Wei, and Northern Zhou regimes, and contributed to the political stability and economic development of the time. On the other hand, his family background also supported the expansion of his power. Duguxin's family was a famous family of gate lords at that time, and its family members had a high status and influence in politics, military, and culture.

Emperor Xiaowu exclaimed: "General Wuwei was able to say goodbye to his parents, give up his wife and children, and come from afar to follow me. When the times are chaotic, you can see loyalty, how can this be a lie? "Immediately gave Dugu Xin a horse, Jin Jue as the prince of Fuyang County, and a thousand households.
