The eldest daughter married Yu Wentai's eldest son Yu Wenyu, who was later Emperor Ming of Zhou. She was canonized as "Queen Mingjing of Zhou" and gave birth to Emperor Xuan Yuwen of Zhou. The fourth daughter married Daye, the son of Dayehu, and later the fourth son-in-law climbed up the ranks of the Li family in Longxi. The son, changed his surname to Li, and gave birth to a son named Li Yuan... After Li Yuan became emperor, he named his mother "Queen Yuanzhen"; the seventh daughter married Pu Liurujian, and the son-in-law later changed his surname to Yang. , named Yang Jian... This more powerful man established the Sui Dynasty to unify the north and the south, which brought China, which had been fragmented since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, back to a unified state. His wife was the founding empress "Queen of Documents" and gave birth to two sons, one named Yang Yong. , one named Yang Guang...
The "Book of Zhou" compiled by the Tang Dynasty, among which "The Biography of Dugu Xin" says: "The eldest daughter, Xin, is the queen of Zhou Mingjing; the fourth daughter is the queen of Yuanzhen; the seventh daughter is the queen of Sui Dynasty. The three generations of Zhou, Sui and the royal family are all Being a relative has never existed since ancient times."
Strictly speaking, Duguxin should be the "Abbott of the Four Dynasties".
Duguxin's fifth daughter married Shangzhu Guoyu Wenshu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, entered the Sui Dynasty, worshiped General Zuowei, and changed his title to Xu Guogong. Yu Wenshu's eldest son, Yu Wenji, who was worshiped as the Sui Dynasty's guard general, hanged Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in Yangzhou and established Yang Hao. Not long after, he said again: "If you must die in life, why don't you become an emperor one day?" So he poisoned Yang Hao, and the emperor was located in Wei County. The King of Qi made his younger brother Shiji the King of Shu.
Since appointing hundreds of officials and making a younger brother king, one must first honor his parents. There is no doubt that Dugu Xin's fifth daughter was named "Queen", just because the "Xu Kingdom" perished a few months later, and there is no history record. It was recorded and characterized as a "bandit", so it cannot be justified and passed down.
…
Just imagine, the sons and grandsons of the three dynasties all have the blood of the Dugu family. What an honor it is?
It is unique throughout the ages.
…
The great ancestor Li Yuan was the nephew of Empress Dugu, and was the cousin of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, he and Xiao's wife were uncles and cousins. This level of relatives were real close relatives in ancient times. When powerful families wanted to marry, cousins were the first choice.
In fact, because of this kinship, the great ancestors Li Yuan and Xiao had a very good relationship when they were officials in the Sui Dynasty. Li Er, who was the king of Qin at the time, led troops to attack Xue Ju. Xiao and his wife Dugu held a family banquet in honor of him. During the dinner, Li Er said respectfully: "Cousin, uncle, when my nephew left Beijing, my father specially prepared a letter from home, asking my aunt and uncle to come to Beijing to discuss government affairs." He took out the letter and handed it to Xiao. When Xiao opened the letter, he saw that Li Yuan said: "...My brother has great ideas and extraordinary intelligence... Please come to the capital as soon as possible to help the country..." Xiao put down the letter and said to Li Er: "The country is in danger, tomorrow The Lord is here. My cousin calls me, how dare I disobey my order..."
As soon as the family banquet was over, Xiao immediately sent a letter to Chang'an, saying that he would arrive soon. Then pack your bags and set off immediately. All the soldiers, horses, houses, and property in Hechi were not retained and were all handed over to Li Er for disposal.
When the great ancestor Li Yuan saw Xiao and his wife coming, he was very happy. He gave Xiao a banquet and entertained him. He immediately awarded Xiao the title of Guanglu doctor, the title of Duke of Song Dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the title of humerus...
His Majesty Li Er respected the Dugu family very much. In history, Xiao made many mistakes and was dismissed from office six times and reinstated six times. When His Majesty Li Er became seriously ill, Shang was still thinking about the Dugu family who had followed Xiao and was dismissed from the capital, so he restored Xiao's Song Guogong title, awarded him the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, added "Special Advancement", and ordered his wife to return Tongguan rested in Yuhua Palace.
If Fang Jun dares to glare at Xiao, even if the lawsuit goes to Tai Chi Palace, His Majesty Li Er will defend him, because he is the sword in His Majesty Li Er's hand.
But he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Xiao's wife Dugu...
Greetings and greetings in a polite manner.
The Dugu family had a kind face and nodded with a smile. She was obviously very satisfied with Fang Jun. Although the Fang family was considered a second-rate Shandong family and was nothing in the eyes of the Dugu family, Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun were among the most prominent in the court. A capable minister, relying on his own abilities, will sooner or later become one of the first-class nobles.
Rather than marrying into those families that have already reached their peak and are already entrenched, and it is difficult to climb up a step further, it is better to cooperate with these vigorous and recent aristocratic families at a deeper level, not only to dominate everywhere, but also to rely on their positive and upward attitude. Vitality, get rid of some rotten and old dust in your home...
Moreover, among the second generation of nobles, Fang Jun is indeed outstanding.
As the daughter of a lonely family, she is used to seeing the vicissitudes of life. She pays more attention to the inner qualities of things rather than superficial things. What are you afraid of in a fight? What are you afraid of getting into trouble? What is murder? What are you even afraid of in rebellion?
You can do anything, the key lies in whether you can do it, and whether you have taken evasive measures to bear the consequences that will follow...
After thinking about it, Dugu raised her hands slightly, asked the maid beside her to roll up her sleeves, and took off a pair of emerald green and crystal bracelets from her wrists.
"This thing is a relic of Jiaci. I am so old, and I am afraid that my time is short. I cannot let this thing be buried under the loess with me and never see the light of day again. I will give it to Erlang and Shu today. My son, I hope that you will be united in this case and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
All the Xiao family members were stunned.
This, this, this...actually gave this thing to Shu'er and Fang Jun? !
Even Xiao was startled and said quickly: "Madam, this... is not appropriate? This is the relic of the elders. It must be kept with us as a thought. It is not appropriate to give it to the younger generation."
Isn't it just inconsistent with etiquette? The symbolic meaning of this bracelet is really too great!
Xiao Rui also advised: "Mother, this gift is really too expensive, it's better to think twice."
Even Princess Xiangcheng on the side was staring straight at the pair of emerald-green bracelets, not to mention the women of the Xiao family, whose faces were filled with disbelief and envy...
Dugu Shi smiled and said softly to Xiao: "When people live, this is just a thought, but people will die eventually. After you and I die, what is the use of this thing?"
Xiao Rui sighed and wanted to shout: Mother! You and your father are dead, but we still have sons. It would be nice to give this thing to us... But he is more upright after all, and he is not thick-skinned enough to say such things.
Fang Jun looked on with cold eyes, thinking to himself, isn't it just a pair of bracelets? How valuable is that?
Even if it is passed down by Qin Shihuang, we may not be so rare...
But looking at the nervous expressions of everyone in the Xiao family, and the constipated look on Xiao's face when he was about to speak, he knew that this thing must be very important, and if there is an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard...
Dang Ji took a step forward, bowed his hands to the ground, and said respectfully: "The gift from the elder is too heavy. How can Fang Jun dare to accept it calmly?"
Just when all the Xiao family members breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Fang Jun continue: "But the elder gave it to me and I dare not refuse it. Even if it is not in line with etiquette, Fang Jun can only accept it with shame."
The Xiao family almost yelled!
Mother!
Do you know what that is?
That is life!
How can this person be so thick-skinned when he gets a good deal and still behaves? He doesn't look like a gentleman at all. There is a huge age gap between him and his father Fang Xuan...
Our Shu'er is dignified and virtuous, but no matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't deserve it!
The Dugu family ignored the resentment of her children and grandchildren, smiled kindly, and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, good child! It's just a pair of bracelets, how valuable are they? As long as you treat Shu'er well in the future, let her be happy. No worries, when I die, I will give her half of the dowry!"
Everyone in the Xiao family is no longer able to complain. What is going on?
How come the mother (grandmother) is closer to Fang Jun than to her biological son (grandson)?
This stick is dark, and has nothing to do with handsomeness. I don't think there is anything unusual about it!
…
Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Xiao reluctantly ordered: "Come here, put this pair of bracelets into a brocade box and put it in the girl's dowry."
"Here!"
Then two maids came forward, took the bracelet from Dugu's hand with great care, and bowed back.
Then the wedding process continues.
When Fang Jun came to the door of the back house, he saw Xiao Shuer, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and garland, walking down the steps surrounded by maids. She was as graceful as a willow, but her face was covered with a red veil, but she couldn't see it. Clear appearance.
However, just by looking at this beautiful figure that is "dazzling in robes and gorgeous in Er Yao and Bi", one knows that it is definitely a rare beauty in the world...
