"At that time, you were still young, and you were ignorant of all kinds of disputes in the Northern Zhou court, and naturally you didn't know this beautiful big sister who once hugged you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info If there is nothing to do today, I will tell you about the kindness of Sister Prajna. Yang Lihua calmed down her mood and began to tell Yang Guangwei about the past between her and Yuwen Panruo, the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Praruo's father, Yuwen Zhao, is the uncle of my husband Junyu clerk, and Pranya and I are called sister-in-law. The Yuwen clan is from Xianbei, and Pranya's biological mother is Han, so when I first met her, I was sincerely shocked by her beauty, and she also left a deep impression on me.

However, the longer I got to know her, what attracted me was not her beautiful face like a flower, but her outstanding talent and chivalrous heart that was both civil and military.

Three years ago, at the beginning of the succession of Yu Wenwen, it was the time when my Great Zhou coerced Emperor Wu to destroy the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the military strength was at its peak. Because Nan Chen was worried that I would be angry and march south, he specially sent Kong Fan, a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, to Chang'an to congratulate Emperor Xuan (Yu Wenyuan) on his succession to the throne and to become famous, and proposed to hire Praruo as his wife for his crown prince Chen Shubao, and wanted to prevent my Great Zhou Xing army from destroying Chen through the marriage of the two countries.

At that time, Yuwen Zhao coveted the generous gift given by Kong Fan, and also wanted to introduce Nan Chen as his foreign aid in the court, so he agreed to this family affair and promised Kong Fan in person, and he came forward to persuade his nephew Yu Clerk to facilitate the marriage between the two countries.

However, Praruo has long heard of the behavior and behavior of this Nanchen prince Chen Shubao, this person is perverse, scheming, greedy for women, and extravagant, with the arrogant heart of Praruo's sister, how can he look down on such a person to be his husband?

Because when Praruo learned of this, Yuwen Zhao had already accepted the heavy gift sent by Kong Fan, and should undertake this family business, forced to have no choice, Praruo had a plan, in the name of asking Kong Fan about the character of his future husband Chen Shubao in person, he deceived his father to invite Kong Fan to his home, and when Kong Fan was drunk, on the grounds of talking about Confucianism and scriptures, Kong Fan and her set a bet, and the two took the book "Shangshu" as the basis, each came up with a topic, took turns to answer questions and answers, and explained the scriptures, if one party lost, they had to agree to a request from the other party.

Kong Fan was a famous Confucian, and he was already drunk at that time, so he didn't take this request made by Praruo in his eyes, and mistakenly thought that he would not be able to ask the beautiful princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who did not know the depth of knowledge in half an hour, and was speechless, and was willing to lose. However, this time he met a strong opponent, and the two of them argued from the front to the fixed watch, and Kong Fan was finally defeated by Praruo because he was not strong enough to drink and his mind was dizzy.

Praruo immediately ordered someone to move out all the generous gifts sent by his father from Kong Fan, and bluntly rejected the marriage with Chen Shubao.

Ah Zong, tell me, if a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl's family, and the long-famous Jiangnan Shuoru Chen said Confucianism and righteousness, she did not fall behind at all, and she deserved the title of a talented woman? ”

Yang Guang listened to Yang Lihua like a legend of a historical figure, listening to the story of Yuwen Fan's talent and resignation from marriage, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't hear the eldest sister's question to him, and he praised in his heart: As the eldest sister said is true, this princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can be compared with Wang Zhaojun and Cai Wenji, the two talented women of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Lihua saw that her younger brother was engaged, so she didn't ask any more questions, and continued to speak: "If it weren't for Praruo's repeated rescue, I'm afraid that I would have died in the hands of Clerk Yu." ”

Speaking of the sad past that could not be looked back, Yang Lihua's tone couldn't help but choke.

"In the first year of my marriage, we got along fairly well. However, as soon as he ascended to the throne as an emperor, somehow, his brain became extremely abnormal, and he actually wanted to set up four queens in the harem. In this way, I, the crown princess, the wife of the emperor, had to sit on an equal footing with the other three partial concubines, and the harem was not dominated by one queen, but by the four queens, which was unprecedented.

I still remember clearly, when the Yu clerk issued the holy decree to canonize the four queens, the princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including our parents, all remained silent about it, only Yuwen Praruo heard this, stepped forward, fought for me, knelt outside the Yu clerk's dormitory for a day and a night, begging the Yu clerk to take back the edict, not to let the harem fall into the chaos of the division of the four queens. ”

In less than two years of the Xuan Emperor Dynasty, the Yu clerk listened to slander and repeatedly killed our Yang family, and first wanted to kill me. Yuwen Praruo persuaded him hard before and after, and rescued me from the knife of Yuwen no less than three times. Later, I asked her privately why she was so desperate to help me. She only smiled faintly at me and replied: "Because you are my sister-in-law and a good queen, if you die, the whole harem will be in chaos." ’

Later, Yu Wenwen was tired of being the emperor, so he passed the throne to Xian'er early, and he went to be happy and happy, but he finally died within a few months due to overindulgence. At that time, Zheng Yi and Liu Yijiao, the two favorite ministers of Yu Wenyuan during his lifetime, led his father into the court as the prime minister, assisted Xian'er in taking charge of the government, and led by Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao, the father of Praruo, the kings of the Yuwen clan all tried their best to oppose the ruling of their relatives and plotted to assassinate their father. So, on the grounds of peace with the Turks, his father married the Turkic Tubo Khan as his wife, and at the same time, under the pretext of sending the princess to the Turks, all the kings of the Yuwen clan were transferred back to Chang'an and placed under house arrest.

Who knows, before Banruo left Chang'an and went to the Turks to make peace, Tubo Khan fell ill and died. To this day, I still remember that when the news of the sudden death of Tubo Khan reached Chang'an, Praruo was like a bird that had escaped from its cage and was the first to run to Hongsheng Palace to report the good news to me. I am also very happy that she was able to get out of this situation.

However, the good times did not last long, as his father's power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty became more and more powerful, arousing the opposition of the higher Northern Zhou royal family, for a time, Wei Chi Hui, Sima Xiaonan and Wang Qian raised troops in three places successively, wanting to forcibly expel their father, and in Chang'an City, headed by Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao, the five kings of Yuwen were even more impatient, plotting against their father.

It happened that the Turkic successor Sha Bolu Khan sent an envoy to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to ask for marriage, and my father ignored my extreme right to prevent him, pushed the boat down the river, and repeated the old words, forcing Emperor Jing to make an order, and once again set Praruo as a princess and married Sha Bolu Khan.

With her extraordinary intelligence, she could have found all kinds of excuses to excuse herself, but for the sake of the Zhou Dynasty, she didn't say a word, and on the third day of the edict of Heqin, she left Chang'an and embarked on the journey of Heqin. My poor sister, when she left Chang'an, she was not yet nineteen years old, and she had to leave her relatives' homeland and go to a wild country thousands of miles away to spend a lonely life. ”
