Historical books such as Sui Shu and Southern History clearly record that Yang Guang likes at least five women: Hou Yaozong, Cui Shi, Ai Chen, Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Hua Rong. Among them, there is a "pet respect" for Xiao Huanghou, a "pet luck" for Cui Shi's daughter, a "perfect pet luck" for Chen, and a "deep mourning" for Mrs. Xuanhua, who died young but had a unique appearance.
Of course, Yang Guang's love and respect for Hou Yaozong is to a great extent to meet his mother's lonely needs, and also out of respect for his wife's identity. Everyone knows that the jealousy of the lonely queen is rare in the world. Not only are husbands not allowed to have children with other women, but also the ministers in the DPRK who love concubines will be vilified by her, and her son who loves concubines will also be vilified by her. When Yang Guang was the King of Jin, in order to squeeze his younger brother Yong Yang from the position of Prince, it was natural to try to please his mother. So on the surface, he pretended to spoil only his wife, Xiao Fei, and only had children with Xiao Fei, but secretly there were countless concubines.
But romantic romantic, Yang guang didn't forget to lay the quilt, the concubines in the house don't raise even if they have children. Therefore, despite a jealous mother, as a performance champion, Yang Guang easily showed a good son and a loyal husband in front of her. By contrast, Yong Yang, who dotes on his concubine and has many illegitimate children, is very unpopular with her mother.
The jealous mother died as soon as the prince's position was in hand. Yang guang finally breathed a sigh of relief and treated Xiao Fei worse than before. At the same time, Xiao Fei, in her prime, never gave birth to Princess Nanyang six years ago, and Yang Guang's favorite concubines became more and more. Needless to say, after Yang Guang acceded to the throne, he thoroughly rejoiced, randomly selected all kinds of beautiful women to enrich the harem, and re-established the third lady, nine concubines and other senior concubines who were dismissed after Duguyuan. There are 0/20 concubines in the harem/kloc, and there are countless well-dressed people serving around. As for Hou Yaozong, who was "pampered and respected" by Yang Guang, in the face of her husband's increasingly absurd behavior, she dared not persuade her, so she could only swallow all kinds of grief and make an essay "Narrative of Magistrate" as a consolation.
And Yang Guang, who successfully sat in the dragon chair, not only disliked Hou Yaozong more and more, but also disliked Hou Yaozong's younger brother and the son born to Xiao Hou more and more.
For example, Xiao Yu, as Hou Yaozong's younger brother and the prince's maternal uncle of the Sui Dynasty, was awarded the doctorate of Guanglu in Yin Qing with the third prize. Compared with Princess Xu of Lanling, just because she married the princess, she got such generous treatment from the first-class official to the third-class company. Uncle Xiao Yu is often reprimanded and alienated by Yang Guang. When he was demoted as the county chief of Hechi, he was even driven out of the capital on the same day.
Even when Yang Zhao, the eldest son of Yang Guang, was crowned Prince in Chang 'an, Yang Guang didn't even want to go back to Chang 'an, but sent a special envoy to confer the title. Later, Yang Zhao repeatedly asked to stay with his father for a long time, but Yang Guang refused to agree.
After Yang Zhao's death, because the prince of Zhao was still too young, and his second son, Xiao Hou, was the only candidate for the position, he was valued as the second son by his father. He had to arrange some aides for his state of Qi, but before long, he was killed because his prey was better than Yang. Yang Guang is worried that Yang Chang will be bad for himself, and the staff he is equipped with is old and weak. Later, when Yu Wenhuaji rebelled, Yang Guang heard the sound of chaos outside and even said to Hou Yaozong, "Is Yang Chang's unfilial son going to the palace?"
By contrast, Cui Shi, the favorite concubine, is not as distinguished as Xiao Hou, but her family got the same treatment as Xiao, because she was deeply loved.
Cui Shi's daughter is Cui Junchuo. Because of the intervention of the waste prince Yong Yang, Wendi personally wrote a letter to Cui Junchuo and others, punishing them with one hundred sticks, and all the possessions of his wife and children were confiscated, so Cui Shi's daughter was buried in the court, thus winning Yang Guang's favor. Later, after Yang Guang acceded to the throne, he wrote a new imperial edict, saying that Cui Junchuo, Xiao Yan and others committed less crimes than their children, exempted their families from punishment and allowed them to re-enter the official position. In this regard, it is clearly recorded in Sui Shu that Xiao Yan was defeated by the Imperial Palace, while Cui Junchu was favored by her daughter when she entered the palace. Cui Caijia won this honor because Yang Guang loved Cui Shi's daughter.
However, in the harem, not only did Cui Shi's family take the whole family to the apprentice because of their daughters and sisters' love, but the children of Chen's imperial clan were also loved by their sisters, thus being loved.
These princesses of Chen Dynasty are also a group of poor people. After the demise of the Chen Dynasty, the emperor and his daughter were sent to Sui Palace as trophies. Due to the large number of princesses, Emperor Wendi of Sui simply gave gifts to Chen Nvda: either as a gift to a hero as a concubine, such as giving one of Xuan Di's daughters to He Ruobi and one to Su Yang; Either go directly to the DPRK as a maid of honor, or if the emperor is lucky, he will become a concubine in the harem. For example, the famous lady Xuanhua in the harem of Sui Dynasty was Princess Ningyuan, the daughter of Xuan Di, and another lady Zheng Hong was also Princess Linchuan, the daughter of Xuan Di. The rest were also distributed to the princes' palaces. For example, one of Yang Guang's concubines is Princess Guangde, the fourth daughter of Chen Houzhu, and another concubine in Yang Junfu, the king of Qin, is Chen Houzhu's fifth daughter.
Whether Yang Guang dotes on Princess Guangde is unknown, but among a group of princesses of Chen Dynasty, Yang Guang loves two people best: Mrs. Xuanhua and Chen Mi.
Mrs. Xuanhua was directly regarded as a maid-in-waiting, and Sui Shu recorded that Mrs. Xuanhua was "sexually intelligent and absolutely beautiful". However, under the terror policy of Queen Dugu, few palaces in the whole harem were favored by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and "only favored Chen". But this is not the worst. What's more, Mrs. Xuanhua not only dumped her father Wendi, but also fell in love with her son Yang Guang. So when his father died, Yang Guang couldn't wait to marry Mrs. Xuanhua that night, and even gave her some empathy knots as tokens of love. After Yang Guang officially acceded to the throne, he immediately called Mrs. Xuanhua into the palace, but Mrs. Xuanhua was unhappy and died of illness in less than a year. Yang guang is very sad. She not only mourned Mrs. Xuanhua deeply, but also wrote an article specially for her.
It is worth mentioning that Cai, another favorite wife of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, is just like Mrs. Xuanhua. After the death of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, she was recalled to the palace by Yang Guang and became a favorite of the old emperor, and continued to be a favorite of the new emperor.
As for another princess of the Chen Dynasty, Ai Chen was made an aristocrat by Yang Guang in the second year of Daye. Yang Guang likes Chen Mi very much, and the history books call him "the luck of absolutely loving her". How much does she like it? According to "Southern History", after the demise of the Chen Dynasty, Emperor Wendi of Sui sent more than 65,438+000 imperial clan children to various places to cultivate their own fields to support themselves. But now, in order to please his beloved woman, Yang Guang recalled all these imperial children to Beijing and granted them official positions. So the children of Chen's imperial clan, as local officials, spread all over the world for a time.
In addition to Cui Shi's daughters, Mrs. Xuanhua, Mrs. Ronghua and Ms. Chen, the harem clearly recorded her surname and gave birth to a son. Although there is no record of favor, her son Zhao is very loved by his father. Yang Guang, whether going to Jiangnan to levy Korea or to attack Turks, must take this son with him. Such treatment is even Xiao Yuan.
In this way, at least five concubines of Yang Guang in the history books have clear surnames to test. In addition, the official history also records the concubines who sat at banquets with others, and the concubines and beauties who were forced to become monks by Dou's wife Cao Shi after their death. Although these concubines, who are also favored, did not leave specific surnames and titles, it is obvious that there are quite a few concubines in Yang Guang's harem, not to mention Wu Jiangxian, Mrs. Hou, Yuan Baoer and others in unofficial history.
In the Tang Dynasty, Yan Shigu recorded a temple-footed woman, Wu Jiangxian, in Notes on Great Cause. When Yang Guang went down to Jiangnan by dragon boat, she saw this woman and was deeply attracted by her long moth eyebrows. However, Wu Jiangxian is a woman, so Yang Guang can only call her Mrs. Kongtong, and Mrs. Kongtong likes her very much. And because Wu Jiangxian likes to paint Emei makeup, and this kind of snail wear is made in Persia, and each piece is worth ten gold, which is extremely expensive. Therefore, Yang Guang asked other concubines and imperial secretaries to use cheap bronze altars, but Wu Jiangxian still used ten spiral altars with gold value every day. Yang Guang even often leans against the curtain and looks at Wu Jiangxian, saying to the people around him, "The ancients said that beauty is delicious, and people like Jiang Xian can really make people feel hungry!"
There is also a Yuan Baoer in Daye Notes, which is well known all over the world. Yuan Baoer, in particular, won Yang Guang's favor with her slender waist, polymorphic finals and graceful dancing. At that time, Luo Yang offered a river body to welcome flowers, and Yuan Baoer held the river body to welcome flowers and named it Flower Girl. He couldn't help but say to Yu Shinan, "I don't believe it. I thought it was whitewashed by Confucian scholars. How can people dance on their palms! Now that I've got Bao Er, I know it's credible! " Yang Guang also asked Yu Shinan to write a poem: "It's foolish to learn to draw a bird before it's half finished." However, the foolish reason is cherished by the king, and the flowers are long. "
In addition, there is another servant, Han Jun 'e, who is also very popular with Yang Guang. Yang Guang told her to wait on the bed almost every night, which made Hou Yaozong jealous and often questioned her privately. Finally, she found an excuse to drive Han Jun 'e out of the dragon boat.
Yang Di Seamount was also written by people in the Tang Dynasty. According to this book, Yang Guang built a West Garden with 16 courtyards, each with 20 people. All the beautiful women in the palace were selected, and each court chose the most beautiful lady in Yang Guang as the first one. Yang Guang often goes boating on the lake and lets these beautiful women sing his songs. When Yang Guang was killed by a thief, Zhu Guier, the most favored one, stayed with him and was finally killed with Yang Guang.
As for Mrs. Hou in Lost Palace, it is also a tragedy contributed by Yang Guang. According to official records, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he began to elect beautiful women. Even when many people died in the country due to drought and epidemic diseases in eight years, Yang Guang still did not forget to write a letter to the girls in Huainan counties in the south of the Yangtze River, stipulating that they would pay tribute every year from then on. That's why Mrs. Hou entered the palace According to historical records, Mrs. Hou is not only beautiful, but also talented, and there are countless harem beauties. Mrs. Hou entered the palace at the age of 65,438+06, and did not see Yang Guang until she was 24 years old. Finally, she left 13 poems written by herself and hanged herself. When Yang Guang learned that Mrs. Hou was still beautiful after her death, he was very sad and even more angry. He thought that eunuch Xu Tingfu had neglected his duty and sentenced him to death. Because I like Mrs. Hou's poems very much, I let Yuefu Palace people sing them.
Regardless of official unofficial history and Yang Guang, they all maintain a unified image of romance and lewdness. In the official history, Yang Guang was not only exempted from punishment for these beloved concubines, but also granted officials, which was quite generous. Even because of the early death of a beautiful woman, Mrs. Xuanhua, I was deeply saddened and felt sad and vivid. It's no wonder that Yang Guang's strong color in unofficial history is through the next level. The existence of Wu Jiangxian, Yuan Baoer, Zhu Guier, Mrs. Hou and others seems to be just the words of novelists, but they are not groundless. If Yang Guang in the official history doesn't have so many affairs, how can ordinary people just stare at his romantic side and write books?
It is a great irony that Yang Guang, who is so promiscuous in the official unofficial history, was whitewashed as a dedicated emperor of Xiao Hou just because there were not many children left behind (think of the children who were disposed of to please the Queen Dugu before the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the princesses who followed Xiao Hou, and the princesses who had bad voices when they were promiscuous in the harem).
