In ancient China, the system of monogamy and polygamy has always been practiced, and as long as a man has enough economic strength, he can take many concubines.
Ordinary people are still like this, for the emperor, it is even more unscrupulous to possess more beautiful women, the normal emperors in Chinese history, there will be a lot of concubines, not to mention those emperors known for their lust, the number of harems are several thousand, the degree of absurdity is simply staggering.
But there are very few emperors in history, who are very single-minded in their lives, and this kind of man is not to say that among the emperors, even if they are placed among ordinary people, they are all infatuated men.
Yang Jian is such a man, when he was young, he once swore with his wife DuGushi that he would only love one person in his life, and Yang Jian was just an ordinary hairy boy at that time, he had no idea that the future fate would be so magnificent.
Yang Jian's wife, Du Gushi, is a very powerful family, three sisters, three empresses, one in northern Zhou, one in the Sui Dynasty, and one in the Tang Dynasty, and their father can be called the most cattle old man in China.
Yang Jian, who married the Dugu clan, has always had a lot of feelings with his wife, even later, Yang Jian usurped his grandson's Northern Zhou, created a generation of imperial inheritance, established the Sui Dynasty, and completed the great cause of China's unification, finally ending China's four or five hundred years of division.
In the face of such a huge feat, and a sense of accomplishment that he had never had before, Yang Jian, who had been an emperor for many years, began to drift a little, especially after becoming an emperor, under the continuous influence of Confucian courtiers, his thinking also began to become in line with the traditional polygamy system.
But the vows made when he was young were still in his ears, and once Yang Jianjian did not hold back and had a relationship with a palace girl, and after the lone queen knew about it, she directly killed this palace girl.
Angry, Yang Jian's horse ran wildly for tens of miles, frightening the minister to quickly catch up and persuade him, saying that for the sake of the Great Sui Dynasty, the emperor should bear with it.
The fame of this lonely empress in history is actually not too good, and this requirement that Yang Jian has no other women at all is indeed inconsistent with the traditional Confucian concept, and more seriously, the forced instilling her own concept of mate selection into her children has also caused tragedy.
The Lonely Empress had two children, Yang Yong and Yang Guang, originally Yang Yong was the prince, but Yang Yong did not have a good relationship with his wife, and this Yang Guang was very able to pretend, always showing a very single-minded look in front of his mother, and slowly the Lonely Queen, confused by Yang Guang's behavior, and finally played a key role in the abolition of the prince.
After Yang Guang became the emperor, his nature began to be completely exposed, arrogant and lascivious, absurd and shameless, all kinds of things can be done, and it can really be said that he is a master of disguise.
The reason why Yang Jian is so tolerant of the Lonely Empress, in fact, the main reason behind it is because of the Guanlong military group behind the Lonely Empress, the Lonely Family has a huge force, and through marriage and intertwined, Yang Jian can become the emperor, and the Lonely Family contributes a lot, because Yang Jian's tolerance and dedication to the Lonely Queen, on the one hand, is because of feelings, on the other hand, it is also because the Lonely Family is relatively large and can support the Lonely Queen.
