Emperor Wen of Sui in history, is a relatively good governance of the emperor, when he ascended the throne, it was a famine year, coupled with the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties those small court rulers were extremely extravagant, wanton expropriation, so that the people's resentment boiled, the people's hearts were unstable, and the treasury was empty.

Once, when Emperor Wen of Sui came to a village in Hanzhong, he saw the peasants eating rice made of tofu residue and mixed bran, and he said uncomfortably: "It's all my fault, I didn't govern the country well, so I caused the people to eat this kind of food." ”

After he returned to Chang'an from his inspection, he demanded that officials at all levels and the people of the whole country must be frugal in everything from food to clothing. After giving the order, he set an example and stipulated for himself that in the future, he would not have a banquet at dinner, no wine or meat, and wear ordinary cloth clothes.

For more than a year after that, Emperor Wen of Sui did not eat meat and drink alcohol. Yangzhou Thorn Shi Dou Lutong saw Emperor Wen of Sui wearing ordinary cloth clothes, so he gave a horse with a fine silk tattoo pattern.

After receiving this, Emperor Wen of Sui immediately summoned the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and in front of all the ministers, he said to Dou Lutong very angrily: "Now our country is still in a difficult period, and the common people still find it difficult to wear coarse cloth clothes, but you let me wear such expensive fine silk, so that I can win the trust of the people? If the upper and lower levels are effective, then when will our country and people be prosperous, prosperous, and strong?"

Emperor Wen's earnest words made Dou Lutong's face full of shame, he knelt down and admitted his mistake, and Emperor Wen of Sui made the fine silk burned in the court.

Because Emperor Wen of Sui set an example and set an example, for a long time, men all over the country did not wear silk and no gold and jade ornaments, and most of the ordinary clothes were cloth, and the belt was just copper, iron and bone horns. As a result, the Sui Dynasty quickly changed the poverty situation in the country, survived the year of famine, and became rich and strong. The amount of savings in the state treasury was not exhausted until a few decades later in the Tang Dynasty, when Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty had saved so much.

Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was known for his frugality, riding in a car and daily necessities, repairing and reusing them after they were damaged, and not easily replacing them with new ones; the clothes worn by the harem concubines had been washed many times; once he had diarrhea, the imperial doctor prescribed antidiarrheal medicine for him, and he needed a pepper or two, but he couldn't find it in the palace; Emperor Wen took himself as an example to educate his children to be thrifty, and gave a few old clothes he wore to the crown prince Yang Yong, so that he was always vigilant; at the beginning of his reign, he ordered dogs and horses to play with delicacies and not to offer them; Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Dou Lutong patted the horse's ass and offered silk cloth, and he ordered it to be burned in front of the court to admonish the hundred officials。

Queen Dugu is the queen of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, her surname is Dugu, her name is Jialuo, a native of Yunzhong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and according to legend, the ancestor of the Dugu family is a Xianbei person.

She is the seventh daughter of Sima Duguxin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dugu Xin is eloquent and strategic, and has helped Yuwentai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to establish a hegemony. Dugu Xin saw that Yang Jian was extraordinary, so he married his daughter to him, and Dugu was only fourteen years old at that time. Later, Yang Jian became the emperor, and Dugu was canonized as the empress.

Dugu is good at reading, through the ancient and modern, mostly for Emperor Wen's planning, Dugu Queen is a capable, assertive woman, after she became the queen, she often planned for the emperor, dealt with national affairs, and later the ministers of the court and the central government called Queen Dugu and Emperor Wen together with the two saints.

Although Queen Dugu is on the throne of the queen, she opposes luxury and advocates frugality. Once, the Turks asked the governor of Youzhou to sell a box of high-quality pearls, worth eight million, and the governor of Youzhou wanted to give them to Queen Dugu, but Queen Dugu said: "I don't need any pearls now, the current national border defense is tight, and the soldiers are still fighting hard.

When the news spread, the officers and men in the army were overjoyed, and all the soldiers said: "It is the luck of the Great Sui to have this mother of the country." The simplicity of Queen Dugu also affected Emperor Wen, so Emperor Wen also sought to be economical and simple in politics.

Queen Dugu never favors the short and strictly abides by the provisions of the law. Once, Queen Dugu's cousin committed a crime and was beheaded, but Emperor Wen was very hesitant because he considered him to be a relative of the queen, and wanted to pardon him on the net.

When Empress Dugu found out, she said to Emperor Wen: "This matter involves a major matter of the country's criminal law, how can I change it arbitrarily because I am alone?"

Legend has it that whenever Dali Temple wants to kill someone, Queen Dugu will always cry sadly, in addition, Queen Dugu never covets treasures and money, and always thinks about whether the people and soldiers are well fed and clothed. is such a virtuous queen, plus the Dugu family itself is quite powerful in the court, so it is quite loved by the ministers and the people, even Emperor Wen of Sui himself, he is in awe of Queen Dugu.

Although Emperor Wen and Queen Dugu had a harmonious relationship, Emperor Wen even said that as long as there was Queen Dugu, he would no longer favor other concubines. However, Queen Dugu is very dedicated, and at the same time requires Emperor Wen to be dedicated, only the queen is in the room, and there is no selfish favor next to her, which makes Emperor Wen's 3,000 harem useless.

However, no matter how well Queen Dugu understands righteousness, she is also a woman after all, she not only left the name of the virtuous queen, but also left the reputation of the queen of jealousy.

Although there are many concubines in Emperor Wen of Sui's harem, but because of Queen Dugu, Emperor Wen of Sui almost never gets lucky, and those concubines naturally dare not flatter Emperor Wen of Sui because they are afraid of Queen Dugu. But after a long time, Emperor Wen of Sui was still fascinated by a woman.

Queen Dugu did not get angry when she learned about this, but killed the woman when Emperor Wen of Sui was in power. When Emperor Wen of Sui came back from the next dynasty, he heard such a change, and he didn't reason with Queen Dugu, so he took a horse and ran out of the palace. Seeing the emperor running away from home, the ministers hurried to chase him, and finally found the poor emperor in a barren mountain and valley. After this incident, Queen Dugu's actions were somewhat restrained, but the reputation of the jealous queen was still retained.

As the saying goes: "It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs." "Even if the internal affairs of the common people's homes are difficult to dissolve, then the affairs of the royal harem with spoiled personnel are even more entangled. Since ancient times, there have been many rights and wrongs in the harem, there are concubines competing for favor, and there are princes competing for cannibalism, and no one can control this kind of thing.

Queen Dugu used her genius to rule the harem strictly, which was indeed effective, and the emperor had to be afraid of her.

Dugu Xin had two daughters, the eldest daughter married Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as the empress, and the second daughter married Yang Jian. Yang Jian was born with a different figure, with a long upper body and a short lower body, a serious imbalance in proportion, and a majestic face, the princes often felt helpless when they saw him. Such a strange person, but he was favored by the second lady of the Dugu family, and through matchmaking, he married into the Yang family before the age of twenty.

Twenty years have passed, although Yang Jian tried his best to be humble, but because of his outstanding merits, he was awarded the title of Shangzhu State of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, mastered the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and gained increasing prestige in the court. Dugu gave birth to a daughter and five sons for Yang Jian, their daughter grew up to be the queen of Emperor Xuan, Yang Jian became the elder of the country, but the royal family's suspicion of him was still not alleviated by this, Emperor Xuan had repeatedly said to the queen: "If your father provokes me, I will definitely kill your whole family!"

The Yang family seems to have been living under the pressure of the imperial family, but it does not weaken the momentum of Yang Jian's development, at this time he is already heavily armed, full of feathers, if he moves seriously, I am afraid that the emperor is not his opponent at all.

Soon, Emperor Xuan, who was in his prime, died of illness and was succeeded by the young and weak Emperor Jing. Yang Jian took the name of Emperor Jing's young and needy assistance, and entered the dynasty to oversee all state affairs, although he was not called the emperor, he actually had the power of the country. For this reason, the governor of Xiangzhou was not convinced, raised troops to rebel, and proposed to crusade against Yang Jian, but he was unexpectedly holding an egg and touching a stone, and Yang Jian was completely wiped out in a few days.

Yang Jianfeng heard that Wei's late return of the army was related to the instigation of the Qing king of the Yuwen clan, and after the rebels were exterminated, he immediately put the Qing king of the Yuwen clan under house arrest, and since then Yang Jian has dominated the government alone, and no one dares to ask.

Emperor Jing was forced by the situation to crown Yang Jian as the king of Sui, and broke a lot of court etiquette for him, allowing him to bring a sword to the palace, enter the court, prepare the gift of nine tin, and the treatment was above that of other princes; later, at the request of Yang Jian, he gave him the twelve crowns and the banner of the Son of Heaven that only the emperor could wear, which exceeded the maximum etiquette limit that the courtiers could enjoy.

In the end, the young Emperor Jing knew that he was not Yang Jian's opponent, so he automatically gave way to him, known as Emperor Wen of Sui. Naturally, the princess Dugu became the queen, and the eldest son Yang Yongli became the crown prince, and killed all the kings of the Yuwen clan to prevent future troubles.

At this time, Emperor Wen of Sui was already forty years old, and Queen Dugu, who was in the world of Muyi, was also thirty-seven years old, and her daughter had already been a queen before her. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui recognized that the reason for the decline of the previous dynasty was exaggerated and untrue, and he tried to reform the official etiquette, rectify the dynasty, and concentrate on establishing a Shengming dynasty.

Queen Dugu is not a short-sighted woman, in the process of Yang Jian obtaining the throne, she has helped to give advice, extremely thoughtful; after becoming the queen, she is never willing to sit down and enjoy the glory and wealth, she has already brewed a huge plan in her heart to rule the harem.
