Empress Dou was born in Shiping, Jingzhao (now Xingping County). Dou Eyuan's daughter, Northern Zhou Fu, was born in Xianbei nobles. Tang Gaozong Li Shimin's biological mother. Dou is good at writing and knowledgeable. Her uncle Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, married a Turkic woman as the queen, but he didn't like her. Dou, who was still a child at that time, privately said to Emperor Wu: "The world is not peaceful, and the Turks are still very strong. I hope my uncle can control his feelings, caress and comfort the queen, and put the interests of the people first. As long as there is Turkish assistance, it is not a problem to deal with Chen Nan and Beiqi. " Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to her suggestions, which further strengthened the influence of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Emperor Wendi usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dou Wensheng, who was only seven years old, burst into tears and threw himself on the bed and said, "I wish I could not be born to be a man to save my uncle's life." Seeing that his daughter was so far-sighted, Dou Yi, the father of the Dou family, said to his wife (Xiangcheng princess royal), "My daughter is outstanding in talent and looks, so she can't just get married. I should carefully choose a good husband for her. " So he drew two peacocks on the door curtain. When the aristocratic children came to propose marriage, they gave him two arrows and a bow to shoot the peacock on the screen. She secretly agreed with her wife that whoever could shoot the peacock in the eye would give her daughter to him. Dozens of people can't take pictures before and after. Tang Gaozu finally arrived. He shot two arrows, one in each. Dou Emei was very happy and married her daughter to Li Yuan. This is the origin of the allusion "Choose one of the birds". The Dou family has been his right-hand man since they married Ethan. During the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (605-6 17), when Li Yuan was the magistrate of Fufeng, he won several good horses. Dou said to her, "The emperor likes falcons and horses. As you know, these good horses can be provided, but they can't stay here for a long time. If someone accuses you, you are sure to get into trouble. I hope you will consider it carefully. " Tang Gaozu couldn't make up his mind, so he was demoted. Later, Li Yuan remembered Dou's words, only then did he look for falcons and horses for Yangdi many times, only then did he save himself and was quickly promoted to general. Dou gave birth to four sons: Cheng Jian, Shimin, Xuanba and Yuanji. The emperor collapsed in Zhuo Jun before he ascended the throne. Posthumous title, "Tai Mu", was made queen. History is called "the Queen of the Old Master Fight".
