Four emperors and two queens, for the husband's career, surrendered his identity, and was willing to be a side room
In ancient times, the status of men and women was unequal, men could gallop the field, and women could only take care of the family at home. Men can read and write, while women believe in it"A woman's lack of talent is virtue"Such a ridiculous statement.
However, throughout history, many women have changed the world's prejudice against women through their actions and words. For example, the only female emperor Wu Zetian, Hua Mulan, who served in the army for her father, and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was in charge of the government.
With their bravery and wisdom, they proved that women can also do great things.
These women, rightly or wrongly, have silently demonstrated that they are just as capable as men, if not greater. And among them, there are some women who are not famous, but their deeds are equally admirable.
For example, Lou Zhaojun, although she is not widely known, her legendary life, righteousness and overall view are deeply admired. Lou Zhaojun was born in a famous family, her father and grandfather were both important people, and she herself was beautiful and intelligent, so many later generations wanted to marry her.
But for the sake of the country's future, Lou Zhaojun took the initiative to lower his status and become a side room. Her behavior not only reflects her righteousness, but also shows her overall view.
In ancient times, women were often unable to decide on their own marriage, but Lou Zhaojun was an exception. She firmly believes that marriage should be based on her own heart, not arranged by her parents or matchmakers.
Although such an idea seemed unusual at the time, it made her life legendary. Once, she saw a soldier guarding the city under the city gates, and her heroic and straightforward temperament attracted her.
She immediately began to search for information about the man, and learned that his name was Gao Huan. After confirming his identity, she did not hesitate to declare: "This is the person I am going to marry." ”
This unwavering belief and indomitable spirit made her unique in the society of the time, and also made her life full of drama and legend.
At that time, there were very few women who dared to speak out about their views on men, let alone women who bravely pursued the men of their choice. Lou Zhaojun was the exception of that era, she took the initiative to pursue Gao Huan, and asked the maids around her to send messages to express her love.
After receiving the message, Gao Huan doubted its authenticity at first, as a soldier defending the city, he had heard Lou Zhaojun's name, and thought that he was a vulgar person, and there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between him and the beloved Lou Zhaojun.
However, after repeated confirmations, Gao Huan finally accepted the reality and happily agreed. At this time, they not only have the same heart, but also have to face the test of Lou Zhaojun's parents.
Although Lou Zhaojun is informal, her parents still adhere to the concept of being the right person. In order to solve this problem, Lou Zhaojun decided to privately fund Gao Huan and let him accumulate wealth in order to propose marriage.
When Gao Huan sent the prepared dowry, although Lou Zhaojun's parents were speechless, they still accepted the dowry and allowed the two to get married as promised. Therefore, the relationship between Lou Zhaojun and Gao Huan can be said to have been won by Lou Zhaojun himself.
Gao Huan, who met many people with lofty ideals as a side room and expanded the army with Lou Zhaojun's dowry, soon attracted the attention of the imperial court. In order to appease him, the imperial court named him the king of Bohai, and Lou Zhaojun became the princess of Bohai.
In the following years, Gao Huan led the army to fight outside, while Lou Zhaojun handled the affairs of the back house at home, and his life was orderly. However, just as they were living a stable life, Lou Zhaojun gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins in the middle of the night.
Faced with the frail mother and son, the first reaction of the subordinates was to inform Gao Huan, who was in another country. However, Lou Zhaojun resolutely rejected this suggestion. She said: "The king is fighting abroad for the sake of the world, how can he leave the barracks because of this trivial matter.
Life and death are fateful, if I really can't live, even if the king comes back, it will be useless. Despite his weak health, Lou Zhaojun still insisted on holding on, hoping to overcome the difficulties before Gao Huan returned.
Lou Zhaojun's help to Gao Huan is immeasurable. She not only helped Gao Huan avoid the trouble of trivial matters in the back house, but also played a role in supervising and admonishing. For example, in the fourth year of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan was defeated, and Hou Jing suggested that as long as he led 20,000 cavalry, he would definitely be able to win.
The appearance of this suggestion is also one of the important admonitions put forward by Lou Zhaojun.
Gao Huan told Lou Zhaojun about the war, and Lou Zhaojun thought that even if Hou Jing's situation was true, what good would it do if he sacrificed himself? Gao Huan listened to the suggestion and gave up this idea.
For the sake of Gao Huan, Lou Zhaojun did not hesitate to surrender his identity and become a side room. When Gao Huan faced the threat of Rouran and needed to marry his daughter to end the war, Lou Zhaojun did not hesitate to give up his position in the main room and fully support Gao Huan.
Her thoughtfulness and selfless dedication allowed Gao Huan to be in power for a while, which is really rare in the world.
Gao Huan gradually gained power in the Eastern Wei court, but at the critical moment of planning to usurp the throne, he was forced to stop this decision due to illness. His son, Gao Cheng, was also killed after his death.
The loss of these two relatives in succession made Lou Zhaojun feel extremely sad, but she understood that her mission was not yet complete, and her second son Gao Yang needed her political support.
As it turned out, she was right. In 550 AD, Gao Yang successfully ascended the throne and established the state of Qi, and Lou Zhaojun became the queen of Northern Qi.
Her legendary life was dedicated to Gao Huan and gave birth to many children, Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, Gao Yan and Gao Zhan ascended the throne successively, and two daughters became queens. Lou Zhaojun lived a luxurious life in the second half of her life, but her sons all had a bad habit of spending a lot of time and drinking, which made the Northern Qi dynasty a notorious dynasty in history.
If it weren't for the happy marriage of the two daughters, Lou Zhaojun's heart would be even more painful. It is undeniable that Lou Zhaojun's life is indeed full of legends, and the four emperors and two queens, both ability and political integrity have always been her true portrayal.
In emotional relationships, Lou Zhaojun takes the initiative to attack, and when he meets the right person, he will take the initiative to pursue and express. Facts have proved that Lou Zhaojun's vision of choosing people is correct.
