Empress Dugu is a native of Luoyang, Henan, the daughter of Sima Da of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Dugu Xin of Hanoi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dugu Xin saw that Gaozu was magnificent, so he married his daughter to him, when the queen was fourteen years old.

Gaozu had a very close relationship with her and vowed not to have children with other women.

She was also gentle and obedient at first, respectful and filial, and did not lose her feminine manner.

Her sister is the empress of Emperor Zhou Ming, and her eldest daughter is the empress of Emperor Zhou Xuan, and there are so many noble relatives that no one can compare with her.

Despite this, she was always humble and discreet, and the world thought she was virtuous.

When Emperor Xuan died and Gaozu was in the palace as prime minister, she asked someone to say to Gaozu: "The overall situation is already like this, you are now riding a tiger, it is difficult to do your best!" So, Gaozu was enthroned by Chan and named her queen.

The Turks used to trade with the Central Plains, and at that time there was a box of pearls worth eight million.

Yin Shou, the governor of Youzhou, told the queen to buy it.

The queen said: "This is not what I need, now Rong Di has repeatedly invaded our country, and the soldiers are tired of working the border, it is better to reward the eight million to the meritorious officials." When the ministers learned about this, they all came to celebrate.

Gaozu doted on her very much, but he was also afraid of her.

Every time the emperor went to court, she always drove away with him and stopped in front of the palace.

She asked the eunuchs to serve the emperor and advise them to correct their mistakes at any time, which would be beneficial to the country.

She waited for the emperor to retreat, so she returned together, set up a banquet to rest, and got along very well.

The queen lost her parents at an early age, and she often missed them in her heart, and when she saw the parents of the ministers, she often greeted them.

When someone in the court announced that the wives of hundreds of officials would be sealed according to the "Zhou Li", and obeyed the queen's orders, she said: "Women participating in politics cannot set this precedent." "No.

The queen often said to the princesses: "The princess of the Zhou family, losing her woman's morality, being rude to her in-laws, and separating people's flesh and bones, these things that should not happen, you should guard against them." "The Metropolitan Governor Cui Changren is the queen's middle cousin, he should be beheaded for breaking the law, and the emperor wants to exonerate him from his guilt in the face of the queen.

The queen said, "How can we take into account personal feelings in the affairs of the state? So, Cui Changren was beheaded in accordance with the law.

The queen's half-brother Dugutuo cursed the queen with a cat ghost witch Gu and should also be executed.

The queen did not eat for three days, and pleaded for Dugutuo: "If Dugutuo is executed for the government and harming the people, I dare not intercede for him."

But he was put to death for my sake, and I had the courage to ask for his life. So, Dugutuo commuted his guilt by one degree.

Whenever the queen and the emperor talk about political affairs, they often agree with each other, and they are called the "two saints" in the palace.

The queen is very benevolent, and every time she hears about the execution of criminals in Dali Temple, there is no one who does not shed tears.

However, the queen is jealous by nature, and the harem does not dare to send concubines to the emperor.

At that time, Wei Chiyu's granddaughter was very good-looking, and she was in the palace early.

The emperor met her in Renshou Palace and treated her very well, so she became close to the emperor.

The queen took the opportunity of the emperor's court and quietly ordered someone to kill the woman, and the emperor was very angry, and ran out of the garden on a horse alone, regardless of the road, into the valley for more than 20 miles.

Gao Zhen, Yang Su and others caught up with him, grabbed the reins of the horse and persuaded him, and the emperor sighed and said: "As the Son of Heaven, I can't get free!" Gao Qian then persuaded: "Your Majesty, how can you value a woman and despise the world!" The emperor's anger calmed down a little, and he stayed on the horse for a long time, and returned to the palace in the middle of the night.

The queen waited for the emperor in the pavilion, and when he returned, she wept and pleaded guilty, and Gao Gan, Yang Su and others persuaded them to reconcile.

The emperor drank and was very happy, and the queen's relationship with the emperor has been damaged since then.

At first, the queen was very friendly to Gao Zhen because he was her father's guest, but now, when she heard that Gao Gao called herself "a woman" in front of the emperor, she held a grudge.

Later, Gao Zhen's wife died, and his concubine gave birth to another boy, who disliked him even more.

So he gradually slandered him.

The emperor listens to the queen in everything, and when the queen sees that her ministers and courtiers have concubines who are pregnant, she will persuade the emperor to depose them.

At that time, the crown prince Yang Yong had a lot of internal favorites, and the concubine Yuan died suddenly, and the queen suspected that the prince's concubine Yun was harmed.

Therefore, she persuaded the emperor to resign Gao Zheng's official position, and then abolished the crown prince and established Yang Guang, the king of Jin, all of which was planned by the queen.

On the 19th day of August in the second year of Renshou (602), the moon appeared in four halos, and on the 24th, the Taibai Star invaded the Xuanyuan Star.

That night, Queen Dugu died in Yong'an Palace at the age of fifty.

She was buried in Tailing after her death. (To be continued.) )
