Speaking of the three greatest sisters in the history of China, many people will think of the Song sisters in the Republic of China. Sister Song Ailing married Kong Xiangxi, second sister Soong Ching Ling married Sun Yat-sen, and younger sister Song Meiling married Jiang Zhongzheng. However, do you know who is worse than the three sisters of the Song family? They were the three daughters of the Duke of Zhao in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they were married to emperors of three different dynasties. The royal lineage of the family lasted for more than 400 years.
The historical background of Lonely World is the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and its predecessor is the Western Wei Dynasty, which originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty was the Central Plains regime established by the Xianbei nationality, which unified the northern part of China at that time. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a barbarian emperor who was keen on China culture. During his reign, he asked Hu people to change their Chinese surnames and took a series of sinicization measures. One of them was to move the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, which touched the interests of the generals who were guarding the six towns around Pingcheng at that time. Soon after, they created a rebellion in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After successfully seizing power, the officials of Wuchuan Town in six towns established the Western Wei Dynasty, and the other five towns established the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It turned out that twenty officers of the gentry with the highest status and the greatest contribution in Wuchuan Town were awarded the titles of General Eight Pillars and General Twelve Rooms, and their family background became the top of the country at that time. Three sisters Dugu, their father Duguxin, was born in Wuchuan Town, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Dugu Xinyi gave birth to seven children, three of whom were married to three nuclear families in Wuchuan Town. That is, Yu Wenshi, Li in Longxi and Yang, the general of the Twelve Houses.
The eldest daughter is lonely and prajna: Empress Yu Wenyu of Ming Di in Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Yuwen family has always been the actual ruler of the Western Wei Dynasty, and their lonely parents married Yu Wentai's eldest son Yuwen Yu. Yu Wenyu is gentle and outstanding. He is not only literary, but also sincere. The couple are soul mates, two of a kind. After Yu Wentai's death, his younger brother Yuwen Hu abolished the puppet emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty and made Yuwen Hu's younger brother Yu Wenjue emperor, renamed the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Soon after, Yu Wenxuan was poisoned and helped Yu Wenxuan come to power. After Yu Wenyu went to Dengji, lord protector Yuwen Hu refused to let Du's eldest daughter be the queen. In this case, Yuwen Hu unusually insisted that he and the young couple in Dugu were madly in love, knowing that Yuwen Hu could easily kill Dugu without a clear identity.
(lishixinzhi.com in history) In order to protect his wife's life, he had to make Dugu the queen. This incident caused quite a stir in the imperial court, and finally Dugu became the queen in the second year (558) when her husband proclaimed himself emperor. However, after only two months as a queen, she died of depression because of her father's death (Du Guxin was poisoned by Yu Wenhu). After the death of Dugu, Yu Wenyu took care of his dead wife, and had no intention of having a harem, nor did he mention what happened after the establishment. Yuwen Hu saw his performance in his eyes, and Yuwen Hu gradually showed concern for the military, which aroused his fear. In 560 AD, 26-year-old Yu Wenyu was poisoned and buried with Dugu.
Four daughters, Du Gumanto: Li Yuan's mother, Queen Yuan Zhen.
Du's fourth daughter married her son, Qiu, a general of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. Their stories are not recorded in detail in the history books, but judging from Du Wei's four sons and one daughter, the relationship between husband and wife should be very good. They gave birth to many children, one of whom was later Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. After Li Yuan seized the world, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he posthumously named his mother Piluo as the empress of Yuan Zhen in the Tang Dynasty.
Seven women: Emperor Wendi Sui Wendi.
The youngest daughter, Dugujialuo, married Sui Wendi, the son of Yang Zhong, the general of the Zodiac, at the age of fourteen. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and Dugu Jialuo are rare model couples in the history of China. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty is the eternal monarch and Dugu Jialuo is the eternal queen. Dugu Jialuo gave birth to five children and four daughters for Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the most famous of which are the eldest daughter Yang Lihua, the eldest son Yong Yang and the second son Yang Guang. At the turn of the Zhou and Sui Dynasties, Dugu Jialuo went all out to fight for a dynasty for her husband and herself. After Wendi ascended the throne, Dugu Jialuo was named the literary queen of the Sui Dynasty. As political partners, Dugu Jialuo and Wendi were also called "two saints".
Dugu Galo is not only a famous queen in history, but also a woman with modern consciousness. When Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, Dugu Jialuo was 38 years old. Emperor Wen still indulges the narrow-minded Queen Dugu as his wife and never concubines. Until the death of Queen Dugu, Yang began to indulge in beauty because he could not relieve the pain in his heart, and finally could not bear it. In the history, "The Queen Wen took part in the calendar test, pre-ruled the imperial court outside, was good at the imperial court inside, and was jealous. She took a concubine as her post and did not have three concubines, which suppressed her loss of service and reduced her rank."
The legend of Three Sisters in Dugu actually reflects the rise of Guanlong cremation group represented by military officers in Wuchuan town. In Wuchuan Town, three founding emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty were born. This legend is unique in the history of China for thousands of years.
