Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, must have known that his life can be described as very legendary. Li Yuan had 21 sons and 19 daughters in his lifetime, and the number of children was also among the best among the ancient Chinese emperors, and today's interesting history editor does not say Li Yuan's legendary story, nor does he talk about his children's affairs, today we will talk about Li Yuan's harem concubines. Heroes are sad to be beautiful, and most of the emperors in history who have done things are harem beauties of three thousand, and they are also as beautiful. Li Yuan's harem concubines as many as 19 people (excluding the empress), the concubine that Xiaobian wants to talk about today is Yuwen Zhaoyi, interested readers and interesting history Xiaobian let's take a look at it!
Yuwen Zhaoyi, Li Yuan's favorite concubine, her origin is not small. Yuwen Zhaoyi was born in the yuwen family of the official eunuch family of the former dynasty, the famous Guanlong nobleman, his father was the famous Sui Dynasty general Yuwen Tai, and the three older brothers were Yu Wenhuahe, Yuwen Zhi and Yuwen Shihe, perhaps it was precisely because of such a prominent birth that Yuwen Zhaoyi dared to love and dare to hate.
Yuwen Zhi and Yu Wenhua were killed, and the escaped Yu Wenshi and his sister Yuwen Zhaoyi defected to Li Yuan, Yu Wenshi and Li Yuan had a good relationship, so they made him Shangyi Tongsansi, and his sister was included in the harem and was very favored.
To what extent was Yuwen Zhaoyi favored? Li Yuan's original partner Dou Shi died and wanted to make Yuwen Shi empress, but Yuwen Zhaoyi refused. So why would she refuse the position of Lord of the Six Houses? The following is the conjecture of the small editor of interesting history. First, because Yuwen Zhaoyi's mother's family is very powerful, if she becomes an empress, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the emperor, which is related to the lives of the entire clan. Second, Yuwen Zhaoyi should be a woman who dares to love and dare to hate, she does not care about power and status at all, let alone ambition. Third, at that time, the princes Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji competed for the throne, and if she became empress, her son would become a concubine, and it would be inevitable that there would be struggles in the future.
Yuwen Zhaoyi and Li Yuan had two sons: Li Yuanjia and Li Lingkui. Because of their mother's favor, these two sons were also very pampered by their fathers, and the degree of love exceeded that of other princes. Later, the Xuanwu Gate Changed, Yuwen Zhaoyi left to live in Da'an Palace, and Zhenguan died in the eighth year, at the age of forty-four.
