On September 19, the second year of Jiande of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the court was filled with a festive atmosphere, and Yang Lihua married Yu Wenyun, the crown prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and became the crown princess, bringing unparalleled respect to her life.
However, for Yang Lihua, she may not be willing to accept this marriage, but she can't control her life.
In Yang Jian's eyes, she is just a political bargaining chip, a pawn to exchange for power. Five years later, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, died, and the crown prince Yu Wenyun ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, known as Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
As the crown princess, Yang Lihua became the queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty because of the change of her husband's identity. However, what she didn't expect was that her status as a queen would become a laughing stock because of Yu Wenyun's absurdity.
Yu Wenyun is notorious in history, he is the best of the mediocre emperors, he is extravagant, he is tyrannical and cruel, and his thoughts are strange and incomprehensible.
Less than a year after he ascended the throne, he held a ceremony to pass the throne to the 20-year-old crown prince Yu Wenxi, and he became the emperor. However, Yu Wenyun's desire for the throne did not stop there, and then he sealed the four queens in one go.
Yang Lihua has a supple personality and does not cause jealousy, but is deeply respected by the harem concubines. However, despite this, Yang Lihua's life is not happy, but full of tragedy and miserable.
The twists and turns of her fate make people sigh. The only woman in history who changed from the queen mother to a princess, but her husband's family was beheaded by her father, and her descendants were all ** by her younger brother.
Sadly, she almost died at the hands of her husband. Among the many queens in the feudal imperial period, Yang Lihua is undoubtedly the most virtuous and virtuous one. She never competes for favor, never makes bad, although she has no son, she treats Yuwen Xian as her own and takes good care of her.
When Yu Wenyun named the other concubines queens, she did not feel jealous, but treated them as sisters.
Yu Wenyun's reproach and death to Yang Lihua stemmed from his belief that her behavior was evidence of buying the harem. However, Yang Lihua's stubbornness and her mother's resoluteness finally saved her from the death penalty.
Yuwenyun indulged in wine and died violently the following year, the young Yuwenyun ascended the throne, and Yang Lihua was honored as the queen mother. The lord Shaoguo was suspicious, the dark tide of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was surging, and Zheng Yi and others falsely passed on the holy decree to let Yang Jian assist the government.
Although Yang Lihua did not participate in this matter, she believes that it is better for her father to be in power than to be in power. However, Yang Jian's ambitions are not limited to auxiliary politics, he wants to replace him. Yang Lihua was dissatisfied with her father's ambition and was full of resentment.
Yang Jian did not suppress his ambitions because of his daughter, and soon after usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Lihua was dissatisfied, and her anger towards her father had reached its peak. After all, she is a married daughter, so she naturally wants to protect the interests of her husband's family as much as possible. However, she never expected that her father would destroy her husband's family.
Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, an event that had a significant impact on history. Although it is difficult for him to accept the usurpation of power from orphans and widows, he did lead the Sui Dynasty through a period of internal and external troubles at the beginning of his succession, and can be called a generation of wise and martial emperors.
Yang Jian is facing the dilemma of internal and external troubles, and in order to consolidate his position, he must first clear the opposition forces in the country. The Yuwen family in the court became his primary target, and his heart was filled with dark desires and decided to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
However, since his daughter is still in the Yuwen family, he can't directly say the plan to exterminate his daughter's husband's family.
Although Yang Jian couldn't say it explicitly, Prime Minister Gao Gong understood his thoughts, so he made this suggestion to the ministers of the court. Yang Jian accepted this suggestion and dealt a devastating blow to the Yuwen family.
Yang Lihua was very angry about this, but she couldn't change the status quo and could only accept the result. Yang Jian may also feel sorry for his daughter, so he named her Princess Leping and tried to find a new husband for her.
However, Yang Lihua was adamantly opposed to this proposal. Since Yang Lihua and Yuwenyun have no sons, they only have an only daughter, Yuwen Eying, although she is a member of the Yuwen family, Yang Jian did not poison her.
Moreover, Yuwen Eying is just a girl, and she can't make any big waves. As Yuwen Eying grew up, she also reached the age of marriage, so Yang Jian began to find a suitable husband for her.
I have no children, but I have only one daughter. I don't worry about myself, but I love her very much. Now I beg to return my Tang Muyi to Li Min.
Although I have no son, I have only this beloved daughter, and I am not afraid of death, but I love her and her husband very much. In order to give my daughter a better life, I asked to give my current fief to Li Min, and Emperor Yang of Sui agreed to my request.
However, a proverb a few years later pushed my daughter and my family into the abyss. In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, a monk told Emperor Yang of Sui that Li would become the Son of Heaven and persuaded him to let a person surnamed Li go to court.
Unfortunately, Li Min happened to be surnamed Li, so Emperor Yang of Sui told him in person, hoping that he would commit suicide. However, Li Min was unwilling to sit still, and he consulted with his cousin Li Hun, which gave Emperor Yang of Sui a chance to rectify the Li family.
As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui beheaded all 32 members of the Li family clan including Li Hun and Li Min for the crime of treason, and in addition, their relatives within the three clans were also exiled to remote areas.
Looking at her uncle's tragedy, Yuwen Eying couldn't do anything but burst into tears. A few months later, Emperor Yang of Sui ruthlessly issued an order to give her poison and order her to commit suicide.
This ending, for Yang Lihua, was never expected in any way. Her husband's family was destroyed by her father, and her offspring were killed by her younger brother, this woman's life is really extremely tragic and emotional.
