"The violent death of Emperor Zhou Xuan was a destined opportunity for Yang Jian and his wife to come forward."
"Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo have always spent their lives in the calm and dangerous political situation, and thus accumulated rich experience in political struggle. After some struggle, Yang Jian counterattacked the Xuan Emperor's lucky ministers and controlled the local power center."
"At this time, Yang Jian was completely ready to proclaim himself emperor. At that time, there were two options. The first was that he could retain the young Emperor Zhou, become a powerful official with real power, and reduce the support of the old officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"The second is to directly proclaim the emperor, and he can take the opportunity to replace Zhou and take charge of his own affairs. But for Yang Jian, who has a weak foundation, this is really a dangerous thing that could lead to the death of his family in one step."
"Where to go, Yang Jian was indecisive. At this critical moment, Dugu Jialuo sent his cronies into the palace to advise her husband, which made Yang Jian determined. She most likely learned the lesson of Yu Wenhu. Instead of being a powerful minister and being infamous, it would be better to be the emperor himself. , change dynasties, and become a hero for a lifetime."
"My wife's words revealed Yang Jian's situation, and also gave Yang Jian the greatest support and encouragement. He made up his mind to accomplish a great cause and "found the foundation of the Sui Dynasty"!"
"On the fourteenth day of February in the first year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian became emperor and established the Sui Dynasty. Three days later, he named Dugu Jialuo as the queen. From then on, the two of them had a deep love for each other. Every time they went to court, they would go by car together. , we would ride home together after going to court, and at the same time, Jialuo often gave Yang Jian some political advice."
"Dugu Jialuo was merciless when dealing with crimes committed by his relatives. Cui Changren, the son of Dugu Jialuo's aunt, violated the law and should be beheaded in public according to the law. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty made his own decision and pardoned him for Jialuo's sake. After hearing this, Jialuo thought "How can you care about your own interests in the affairs of the country! ", advocating that Cui Changren should be dealt with according to the law and finally killed Cui Changren."
"Once, the Turks sold a box of pearls to the general manager of Youzhou, worth eight million. The general manager reported it to Queen Dugu Jialuo and encouraged her to buy it. Think about how powerful gold and silver jewelry is to women."
"But Dugu Jialuo said, "I don't need the pearl now. The border is currently uneasy and often under threat. The border guards fought bloody battles and worked hard. If these eight million are rewarded to those who have merit, wouldn't it be more meaningful than me enjoying it alone? ? "From this we can see that Jia Luo is dedicated to the country and has no selfish motives."
"There are many things that demonstrate Dugu Jialuo's ability to govern the country. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty loved and admired this beloved wife. He simply went his own way. The emperor and the empress were both respected as the "Two Saints" in the palace."
"In addition, the two of them have always been in and out of the same place, and the same goes for handling political affairs. It is difficult to distinguish between the political decisions made during the Kaihuang period and which ones were Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and which were Empress Dugu's. Hers Political influence is definitely not limited to influencing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."
"With the help and support of his beloved wife Dugu Jialuo, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty quickly stabilized the political situation and guided the capable ministers and generals headed by Gao Xi to begin a series of comprehensive reforms with far-reaching influence."
"He first restored the Han system and established an ideological concept dominated by Chinese culture."
"Destroy the Turks in the north and re-establish a new domestic political order in East Asia with the Chinese dynasty as the periphery."
"The Nanping and Chen Dynasties fought against the separation of the land of China for nearly four hundred years, and enabled the south and south, which had been politically divided for a long time, leading to economic and cultural divisions, to begin to integrate."
"Reform the official system and formally establish a local authority system with three provinces and six ministries as the main body, with a clear division of labor."
"The creation of the imperial examination system was the first step to break through the monopoly of political and cultural resources by aristocratic families."
"Revised the law, abolished a large number of severe punishments, formulated the "Kaihuang Code" that influenced the establishment of the entire Chinese feudal society's legal system, and created an original three-note system of capital punishment."
"Store up your strength and increase the burden on farmers. During the reign of Emperor Wen, the government and the public were prosperous. The level of national wealth in the Sui Dynasty attracted the attention of all generations... The series of great achievements achieved by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty laid the foundation for eternity and made the country rich and powerful. It has outstanding manifestations in all aspects, such as civilization, military, and public works, and has a profound impact on the subsequent Tang Dynasty and the regression of the feudal dynasty for more than a thousand years in the future. It is known as the "Kaihuang Rule" in history, and Queen Dugu played a major role in this. "
"In the last years of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Empress Dugu played a key role in deposing Crown Prince Yang Yong and establishing his second son, Prince Yang Guang, as crown prince."
"Dugu Jialuo once placed great expectations on Crown Prince Yang Yong, but Yang Yong has always acted willfully and regardless of appearance, which conflicts with Queen Dugu's always strict style."
"Yang Yong likes sensuality, but the East Palace is a dark and chaotic life every day, especially his unkind treatment of the Crown Princess, which directly aroused the fierce dissatisfaction of Queen Dugu."
"Yang Yong's series of actions seriously violated Empress Dugu's political philosophy of emphasizing a long tomorrow, emphasizing the marriage relationship between aristocratic families, and ensuring the stable transition of patriarchal power. Later, the sudden death of the crown princess deepened the rift between mother and son. Empress Dugu began to consider The great political transition of power after death."
The couple looked at their second son, Jin Wang Yang Guang, who had outstanding talents and ambitions, while Yang Yong only knew how to live happily, eat, drink and have fun, and Yang Guang was good at pretending. some manifestations. "
"He performed outstandingly during the war between Pingchen and Chen. Later, during the period of guarding Jiangnan, he was very effective and had outstanding political achievements in stabilizing the situation in Jiangnan that had just been in conflict."
"Yang Guang had a secret plan to seize the clan" and had worked hard for many years. Although he held a high position, he was always characterized by his frugal style, low profile, politeness, modesty and prudence. This won praise from the government and the public and the favor of Emperor Wen and his wife of the Sui Dynasty. "
"Under the weight of the Crown Prince and the King of Jin's performance, Empress Dugu finally made up her mind and planned the great policy of Yi Chu to establish the emperor's reign. She used her power and wisdom to attract the eyes and ears of the supreme minister, and used her power and wisdom to the end. To realize the greatest achievement of his "external intervention in government affairs"."
Dugu Jialuo: Regret! I thought I was wise all my life, but I couldn't see through my son's performance.
Qin Liangyu: I can only say that he is good at pretending. He is so good at pretending that most of him should not be able to tell.
Cao Cao: You can compete with Sima Yi. They are both drama queens.
Fusu: People who are performing every moment and living their whole lives are the scariest people.
Li Shimin: If such a person were a minister, it would be very easy to bring cholera to an entire dynasty.
"Perhaps as everyone said, she is so good at acting. What Dugu Jialuo couldn't help but expect was that Yang Guang, who she and Emperor Wen had placed high hopes on, was actually very dedicated to meritorious service."
"Because of its foresight, self-will and fierce administration, the Sui Empire achieved universal prestige and the Grand Canal has been running for thousands of years. However, at the same time, the internal deprivation of honors caused the ruling class to become disloyal and rebellious, and the use of troops externally was ineffective, causing a great loss of prestige and abuse of subordinates. The rise of thieves among the people led to the death of the poor and weak Sui Dynasty II, and also allowed some people to impose these mistakes on Dugu Jialuo."
