As we all know, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is a well-known faint monarch and ** king in Chinese history, especially when he ascended the throne as the emperor and became obsessed with women.

&Book", "Southern History" and other historical books clearly record that Yang Guang liked at least 5 women: Empress Xiao, Cui's daughter, Chen Wan, Mrs. Xuanhua, and Mrs. Ronghua.

Among them, it is "pampered" for Empress Xiao, "love" for Cui's daughter, "love" for Chen Wan, and "deep mourning" for Mrs. Xuanhua, who has unparalleled appearance but died early.

Of course, Yang Guang's affection for Empress Xiao was largely due to the needs of his mother Dugu, as well as out of respect for the identity of his wife.

Everyone on the earth knows that the jealousy of Queen Dugu is simply rare in the world, not only is her husband not allowed to say goodbye, but the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will also be slandered by her if they favor their own concubines, and their own sons will also be slandered by her.

When Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, in order to squeeze his brother Yang Yong off the throne of the crown prince, he naturally wanted to think of a way to please his mother, so on the surface, he pretended to only favor his wife Concubine Xiao and only had children with Concubine Xiao, but there were countless concubines behind his back.

However**return**, Yang Guang did not forget to cover well, and the concubines in the house did not raise them even if they had children. So although there is a jealous mother watching from the sidelines, Yang Guang, who is at the level of an actor, still easily shows a well-behaved son and loyal husband in front of his mother, in contrast, Yang Yong, who loves his concubine Yun Zhaoxun and has many concubines, is very unpopular with his mother.

As soon as the crown prince arrived, the jealous mother also died, Yang Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not as good as Concubine Xiao as before, and Concubine Xiao, who was in her prime, had never given birth to Princess Nanyang since she gave birth to Princess Nanyang in the 6th year of Kaihuang, but Yang Guang's favorite concubines and concubines were increasing day by day.

After ascending the throne, not to mention, Yang Guang completely chose all kinds of beauties to enrich **, and re-established the third lady, nine concubines and other high-grade concubines who were withdrawn after Dugu, **There are 120 famous concubines, and there are countless beautifully dressed dress-bearing knife people to serve around. As for Empress Xiao, who was "pampered" by Yang Guang, she didn't dare to persuade her husband in the face of her husband's increasingly absurd behavior, so she could only swallow all kinds of sorrow and made a "Shu Zhifu" to talk about **.

And Yang Guang, who successfully sat on the dragon chair, not only became less favored by Empress Xiao, but also became more and more unkind to Empress Xiao's younger brother and sister-in-law born to Empress Xiao.

For example, Xiao Yu, as the younger brother of Empress Xiao and the uncle of the Sui Dynasty, went through several seals to get a loose official of the three-grade Yinqing Guanglu doctor, compared with Princess Lanling's concubine Liushu, but because he married a princess, he suddenly got such generous treatment as the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions of the first grade.

Uncle Xiao Yu was often reprimanded and alienated by Yang Guang, and when he was demoted to the county guard of Hechi, he was even driven out of the capital on the same day.

Even when Yang Guang's eldest son Yang Zhao was crowned the crown prince in Chang'an, Yang Guang didn't even bother to return to Chang'an, and only sent an envoy to canonize him.

Later, Yang Zhao wanted to stay by his father's side for a while longer, and asked for it many times, but Yang Guang did not agree.

And Empress Xiao's second son, Yang Hui, was suspicious of his father after the death of his brother Prince Yuande. Yang Guang was afraid that Yang Yun would be unfavorable to him, and the personnel assigned to him were all old and weak, and later Yu Wenhua rebelled, Yang Guang heard the sound of chaos outside, and actually said to Xiao Hou: "Is it that Yang Yong's unfilial son is going to force the palace?" ”

In contrast, although Yang Guang's favorite concubine Cui's daughter is not as noble as Empress Xiao, her family is deeply favored by Yang Guang because of her, and she gets the same treatment as Xiao's family without much effort.

Cui's daughter is the daughter of Cui Junqiu, because she was implicated by the abolished prince Yang Yong, Emperor Wen of Sui personally issued an edict to punish Cui Junqiu and others with a hundred rods, and all the wives and children's properties and mansions were confiscated, and Cui's daughter was also confiscated into the court, so she was favored by Yang Guang.

Later, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he issued a new edict, saying that the crimes of Cui Junqiu, Xiao Yan and others were not as guilty as their heirs, and their families were exempted from punishment and allowed to re-enter the government. In this regard, the "Book of Sui" clearly records that Xiao Yan is because of Empress Xiao in the Middle Palace, and Cui Junsui is because of his daughter's "love luck in the palace" - because of Yang Guang's love for Cui's daughter, the Cui family got this honor.

However, in Yang Guang's **, it is not only the Cui family that has brought prosperity to the whole family because of the favor of their daughters and sisters, but also the group of clan children of the Chen Dynasty are also favored by Yang Guang because of their sisters.

It is said that these princesses of the Chen Dynasty are also a group of poor people. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, the daughters of Emperor Chen Xuan and the Empress Chen were all sent to the Sui Palace as trophies, and due to the large number of princesses, Emperor Wen of Sui simply came to send a Chen woman: either to reward the heroes as concubines, such as rewarding the daughters of Emperor Chen Xuan to He Ruobi.

One was awarded to Yang Su; Either she is directly submerged in the court as a palace maid, and if she is fortunate enough by the emperor, she will become a **concubine, for example, the famous Mrs. Xuanhua in the Sui Dynasty is Princess Ningyuan, the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan, and there is also a Mrs. Hongzheng, who is also Princess Linchuan, the daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan.

The rest were also distributed to the mansions of various princes, for example, one of Yang Guang's concubines was Princess Guangde, the fourth daughter of Empress Chen, and there was also a concubine Chen in the mansion of Yang Jun, King of Qin, that is, Princess Lincheng, the fifth daughter of Empress Chen.

It is unknown whether Yang Guang loves Princess Guangde or not, but among a group of Chen Dynasty princesses, Yang Guang favors two of them the most: Mrs. Xuanhua and Chen Wan.

Mrs. Xuanhua was directly submerged in the court as a palace maid, and the Book of Sui recorded that Mrs. Xuanhua was "sexually intelligent and unparalleled in appearance", and under the terrifying policy of Queen Dugu, there were very few palace concubines in the whole ** who were fortunate to be honored by Emperor Wen of Sui, "only the Chen family is favored".

But this is not the most powerful, what is even more powerful is that Mrs. Xuanhua not only dumped Emperor Wen of Sui as her father, but also fascinated Yang Guang as a son, so as soon as her father died, Yang Guang couldn't wait to be fortunate to Mrs. Xuanhua that night, and even gave her several concentric knots as love tokens.

After Yang Guang officially ascended the throne, he immediately summoned Mrs. Xuanhua into the palace, but Mrs. Xuanhua was depressed and died of illness in less than a year.

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Wen of Sui's other favorite concubine, Mrs. Ronghua's wife Cai, is also the same as Mrs. Xuanhua, who was re-recalled to the palace by Yang Guang after the death of Emperor Wen of Sui, and after being the favorite concubine of the old emperor, she continued to be the new emperor's concubine. As for Chen Wan, another princess of the Chen Dynasty, she was canonized as a noble person by Yang Guang in the second year of Daye.

Yang Guang is extremely fond of Chen Wan, and the history books say that "absolute love is lucky", what kind of pampering is it? According to the records of the "Southern History", after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, more than 100 children of the clan were sent to various places by Emperor Wen of Sui to farm and support themselves, but now in order to please the woman he loves, Yang Guang recalled all these clan children back to the capital and granted them official positions.

As a result, the children of the Chen Dynasty, as local officials everywhere, spread all over the world for a time. In addition, in addition to Cui's daughter, Mrs. Xuanhua, Mrs. Ronghua, and Chen Wan, Yang Guang's ** clearly recorded that there is also Xiao Concubine who gave birth to a son, although this Xiao Concubine has no record of favor, but her son Zhao Wanggao is very favored by his father, Yang Guang whether he went down to the south of the Yangtze River to conquer Goryeo or to conquer the Turks.

has to take this son with him without leaving his side, such treatment is not even Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, and Yang Jun, the king of Qi, who were born to Empress Xiao. Calculated in this way, it is clearly recorded in the history books that there are at least 5 women favored by Yang Guang, not to mention Wu Jiangxian, Mrs. Hou, Yuan Baoer and others in the wild history.

Yan Shigu of the Tang Dynasty recorded a palace foot girl Wu Jiangxian in the "Great Cause Collection", Yang Guang saw this woman when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River on a dragon boat, and was deeply attracted by her long moth eyebrows, but Wu Jiangxian was already a wife, so Yang Guang could only canonize it as Mrs. Kongtong, extremely favored.

And because Wu Jiangxian likes to paint his eyebrows, and this kind of snail Dai is produced in Persia, each worth ten gold, which is extremely expensive.

Therefore, Yang Guang asked other concubines and palace people to use cheap copper dai, but the snail dai that Wu Jiangxian used every day was still worth ten gold. Yang Guang even often leaned on the edge of the curtain and looked at Wu Jiangxian stupidly, and said to the people around him: "The ancients said that beauty is delicious, and people like Jiangxian can really make people not feel hungry!" There is also a Yuan Baoer in "The Legacy of the Great Cause", which is known to everyone on the earth, especially Yuan Baoer because of her slender waist, delicate and polymorphic, and beautiful dancing, which is deeply favored by Yang Guang.

At that time, Luoyang Jin offered the Hedi to welcome the flowers, and Yang Guang asked Yuan Baoer to hold the Hedi to welcome the flowers, called the Sihua Girl, and couldn't help but say to Yu Shinan: "It was rumored that Zhao Feiyan could dance in the palm of his hand, but I didn't believe it, thinking that it was Confucianism, how could people dance in the palm of his hand!" Now that I have got Bao'er, I know that this is credible! Yang Guang also asked Yu Shinan to write a poem: "Learning to paint birds is not half done, and the shoulders and sleeves are too simple." Yuanhan was cherished by the king, and he walked with flowers and branches. ”

In addition, there is also a waiter, Han Jun'e, who is also very favored by Yang Guang, Yang Guang has to call her to sleep almost every night, which makes Xiao Hou jealous, often interrogates her in private, and finally finds an excuse to drive Han Jun'e off the dragon boat.

According to this book, Yang Guang built a West Garden, which has a total of 16 courtyards, each with 20 people, all of whom select the beauties with stunning faces in the palace, and each courtyard selects Yang Guang's most fortunate beauties as his wife, as the head of this courtyard. Yang Guang often boated on the lake and let these beauties sing his songs.

When Yang Guang was killed by thieves, Zhu Guier, who was most often favored, was by his side, and was finally killed with Yang Guang. As for

Mrs. Hou in Lou Ji is also a tragedy contributed by Yang Guang. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he began to elect beauties, and even when many people died in the country because of drought and epidemic in the eighth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang still did not forget to issue an edict to let the counties of Huainan in the south of the Yangtze River pay tribute to the beautiful girls, and stipulated that they would pay tribute every year from now on, and Mrs. Hou entered the palace because of this.

According to historical records, Mrs. Hou is not only "as beautiful as a peach and plum", but also very talented, but there are countless beauties, Mrs. Hou entered the palace at the age of 16, and she was not able to see Yang Guang until she was 24 years old, and finally left 13 poems made by herself, and committed suicide by hanging the beam.

Yang Guang was very sad when he learned about it, and he was even more angry when he saw that Mrs. Hou was still very beautiful after her death, thinking that the eunuch Xu Tingfu was derelict in his duty and gave him death, and because he liked Mrs. Hou's poems very much, he let the people of Yuefu Palace sing them.

Regardless of the official history and wild history, Yang Guang has maintained a unified image of ****. For the sake of these favorite concubines, Yang Guang in the official history can not only be exempted from crimes but also do not hesitate to award officials, and he is quite generous; even mourned deeply because of the early death of a generation of beautiful Mrs. Xuanhua, and made a sense of sadness, and lived out of a love species.

It's no wonder that Yang Guang's indiscriminate color in the wild history is to a higher level, Wu Jiangxian, Yuan Baoer, Zhu Guier, Mrs. Hou and others seem to be just novelists, but they are groundless, if Yang Guang in the official history does not have so many ** rhymes, how can the folk only stare at this side of his **** to write books?

Yang Guang, who is obviously so abusive in the official history, but just because there are few children who have left records (here we want to ignore the children who were disposed of before Prince Yang Guangcheng in order to please Queen Dugu, the princesses who followed Empress Xiao to the Turks after the death of Sui, and the princesses who had an ugly reputation with Yuwen Saburo ****, these children have no special titles and life records), so they are whitewashed as a single-minded emperor who has a deep affection for Empress Xiao, which is really a great irony.
