Today, continue the story of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his mother - Queen Dou! If you haven't seen the last episode, quickly poke the link to make up the lesson!
Last time, I mentioned that Dou and Li Yuanxiao got along very well. However, with Yang Guang's accession to the throne, Li Yuan's life began to be difficult...... Why is that?
It all started with an inexplicable prophecy...... After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, a monk named Anjiatuo (it is said that this man was a Hu man, that is, a foreigner) claimed to have the ability to predict the future, and he told Yang Guang: "When there is a Li family, it should be the Son of Heaven." He also advised Yang Guang to "punish all those surnamed Li in the sea." ”
This trick is also ruthless enough...... Of course, Emperor Yang of Sui was not crazy enough to really kill all the people surnamed Li, but he remembered that he had a dream that the flood had flooded the imperial city.
And his niece Yuwen Eying's husband Li Min's nickname is "Hong'er"! His uncle Li Hun has a heavy army and is powerful. This Li family...... It is indeed possible to pose a threat! (Forget who Li Min is, you can poke to know the relatives of Emperor Yang of Sui)
Yang Guang was very entangled, after all, Li Min was the son-in-law of his own sister Yang Lihua, and Yang Lihua told him thousands of times before he died to let him take care of his niece.
But who let Li Hun once offend the loyal minister Yuwenshu beside Emperor Wen of Sui, this guy is a big fool, he ran to Yuwen Eying and said: "Your emperor's uncle has already set his sights on the Li family, if you can report Li Hun, maybe if you report meritorious, the emperor will not pursue your husband Li Min?"
Yuwen Eying has been very well protected by her mother Yang Lihua since she was a child, and she doesn't know what the sinister world is.
She really believed Yu Wenshu, and even took the initiative to report the Li family's rebellion! (Miss, are you silly?!)...... Yang Guang can be regarded as having a reason, he did not hesitate to directly kill all the dozens of people in the Li family! Even his niece did not let go, and a cup of poisonous wine was given to death......
After solving Li Hun and Li Min, Emperor Yang of Sui breathed a sigh of relief...... But when he turned his head, he felt that something was wrong: By the way, my cousin seems to be surnamed Li?
As for Li Yuan, how can you say that he is quite a weak person, and the history books record that he was "dignified and open-minded, willful and frank, and lenient and tolerant of the public...... Do you understand, it's the kind that has no heart and no lungs!
It is said that he is keen on collecting good horses (similar to today's rich second generation collecting sports cars), and there are many rare good horses at home~
Dou and Li Yuan are just the opposite, she grew up in the court since she was a child, and she has a super high political sensitivity! She strongly recommends that her husband dedicate a good horse to the emperor......
And Li Yuan, a commodity who can't support the wall, is reluctant to !!
Sure enough, Emperor Yang of Sui thought that his cousin would give him a few good horses, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time and no news at all...... He said he was very unhappy!
After Li Yuan was ordered, he came to his senses, went home and packed the good horses, eagles and dogs and presented them to the emperor!!...... Why did you go earlier!
The cautious Yang Guang began to bully Li Yuan frantically, and even when Li Yuan didn't show up for a banquet because he was sick, he had to say yin and yang: "What, is you sick to death?" (original text: "Can you die?")
Li Yuan was so frightened by Yang Guang that he was restless!Dou reminded him: If you want to be safe, you can only pretend to be unproductive, so that the other party disdains to compete with you~
So Li Yuan began to drink heavily and take bribes...... Anyway, he will do whatever he wants to ruin his reputation, and suddenly turn himself from a spiritual guy into a middle-aged greasy man!
The purpose was achieved: Emperor Yang of Sui felt that how could this cousin of waste wood be able to replace his position in the prophecy...... In a banquet, he laughed at Li Yuan in public for not taking good care of himself, and his face was wrinkled like an old lady!" (Original text: Emperor Yang's eyes are called grandma noodles. ）
Li Yuan didn't dare to scare the emperor in public, and when he returned home, he was so angry that he exploded! The public is attacking the Tang Gong, the 'Tang' is the 'hall', and the grandmother is the 'hall master'. ”
Li Yuan instantly became angry: "Hall Master", doesn't that mean to be the boss? Boss...... Isn't that the emperor? roar, roar, can't be too obvious~
Let's just say: Who honestly works as a worker to comfort her husband by saying such "big disapproval" words...... And it is not surprising that Dou can do such a thing!
In her bones, she is still the genius girl who vows to avenge her uncle's Northern Zhou Yuwen royal family! Although so many years have passed, it is really difficult for her husband to come out, but she has never given up!
We can even boldly suspect that she planted the seeds of "rebellion" in Li Yuan's passable character by brainwashing her husband every day...... (It's purely the author's own YY, and it's yours to be right!)
But the early wisdom of Dou's life was not long, and before Li Yuan finally decided to rebel and go it alone, Dou died of illness. At that moment, Li Yuan was still hesitant and cowering, and he was tormented between anti-opposition and non-reverse......
If it really points at Li Yuan, then it is estimated that there will be no Datang...... Fortunately, the old rooster doesn't come out, but the son's chicken comes out! Especially the second child of the Li family, who has definitely inherited his mother's IQ, EQ and ambition!
...... Many years later, Li Shimin, who became Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, often missed his mother's warmth and teachings, and he once woke up from a dream because he dreamed of his mother, and the next day he ordered people to release grain to help the poor people and pray for his mother.
After Li Yuan became the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he posthumously named Dou as "Empress Taimu", although he had many concubines in his harem, but he never set up a queen...... Don't be in a hurry to be moved, it's not because of how deep his feelings are for Dou's, but because - Dou's biological children are not cowards!
The old father is really afraid of them!
