In romance novels of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yuchi Jingde had two wives, known as Mrs. Black and White. The deeds of Mrs. Black and White are the product of artistic processing. There are no two people in history. The first wife of the historical captain Chi Jingde was Su Wu. This incident is cited in "The former Situ Gong of the Tang Dynasty merged with the governor of the state Shangzhu Kingdom E Guogong's wife Su's Epitaph and the preface". The author has free time today to interpret Mrs. Su's epitaph for you readers.

The epitaph first introduces that "Mrs. Wu is taboo, Jingzhao Shiping people". In ancient times, epitaphs not only introduced the name of the tomb owner, but also introduced her family background. Mrs. Su was born into a family of officials. Her great-grandfather, grandfather and father were all high officials. Mrs. Su's father, named Su Qian, was an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty who paid homage to Xicao of Prince Annan's Mansion to offer wine.

Mrs. Su was born in Emperor Wen of the Sui Kaihuang 9th year, four years younger than Yuchi Jingde. People in ancient times got married early, and girls usually got married when they were around 15 years old. The time when Mrs. Su married Yuchi Jingde should have been during the Renshou reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. After reading this, everyone may be wondering: "Yuchi Jingde was born as a poor blacksmith, how could he marry Su Wu, the eldest daughter of an official family?"

Yuchi Jingde in official history was actually a son of an official, and his family had been officials for generations. Yuchi Jingde's father's name was Yuchi Ka. Yuchi Ka was the official record of King Wei in the Sui Dynasty, and his status was similar to that of Fang Xuanling before the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Yuchika's father and grandfather were both high officials. The story about Yuchi Jingde's background as a blacksmith was made up of romance novels of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. By the way, the Cheng Yaojin Kuwawa origin in the romance novels of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was also made up. Cheng Yaojin’s father was the Grand Zhongzheng of Jizhou in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his official position was not small.

Yuchi Jingde and Su Wu were both from official families, and this couple was a perfect match. After Mrs. Su married Yuchi Jingde, she had a harmonious relationship with Yuchi Jingde. She gave birth to a son, Yuchi Baolin, for Yuchi Jingde. Yuchi Jingde's official career was not smooth in his early years, so he became a wealthy man in his hometown of Mayi. Mrs. Su stayed at home to support her husband and raise her children. Mrs. Su was from a well-known family and had a very good relationship with Yuchi Jingde's family. The family lived in harmony and beauty. (His sons are Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, Xingwei Wei Shaoqing, and Shangzhu Guo Baolin.)

There are unpredictable events in the sky, and people have misfortune and good fortune. When Mrs. Su and Yuchi Jingde were living happily, the Sui Dynasty experienced turmoil. At this time, Mrs. Su suddenly contracted a serious illness and died after treatment failed. Mrs. Su died in the ninth year of Emperor Yang's reign in Sui Dynasty. When Mrs. Su died, she only lived to be 25 years old and 24 years old. At this time, Yuchi Jingde was still a wealthy man who had yet to achieve fame and success. Yuchi Jingde had no way to give his beloved wife a high-end and classy funeral, so he had to find a place in his hometown to bury his beloved wife. (In the ninth year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, on the twenty-eighth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the Sui Dynasty, Ding Chou Shuo, Jiachen, he was finally ranked first in the capital of Pingcheng Township, Mayi County, and on the twenty-fifth day of the Spring and Autumn Period.)

After the death of Mrs. Su, Yuchi Jingde left his hometown to join the army. Because of his military exploits, he was promoted to Chaosan doctor by the Sui Dynasty. When Yuchi Jingde joined the army, his immediate boss was Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou was so bold that he slept with the concubine of his boss Wang Xinggong. Liu Wuzhou was afraid that Wang Rengong would kill him if he found out, so he encouraged Yuchi Jingde and others to kill Wang Rengong together. Liu Wuzhou said to Yuchi Jingde and others: "The thieves are rising, the people are hungry, and the strong men defend their territory and die in the ravine. Now the official grain is red and rotting in the warehouse, who can share it with me?"

Yuchi Jingde had long been unhappy with Wang Rengong. Together with more than a dozen people, he followed Liu Wuzhou and killed Wang Rengong. After Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong, he opened the granary to help the poor. The poor people nearby took refuge with Liu Wuzhou one after another.Liu Wuzhou recruited many soldiers and horses, and he named himself the prefect. Later, he accepted the title of Turkic Khan and became Dingyang Khan. As a member of Liu Wuzhou's party, Yuchi Jingde became Li Yuan's mortal enemy. At that time, Li Yuan had just established the Tang Dynasty, but was defeated by Yuchi Jingde and lost the city and territory.

Yuchi Jingde beat the Tang Dynasty so badly that even Li Yuan's younger brother Li Xiaoji was captured alive by Yuchi Jingde. Later, Qin Qiong defeated Yuchi Jingde in Meiliangchuan, and Yuchi Jingde had to defect to Li Shimin. After Yuchi Jingde defected to Li Shimin, he made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, became the famous Lingyan Pavilion hero, and also became the Chinese door god. After Yuchi Jingde developed, he never forgot his wife, Mrs. Su. When Yuchi Jingde was awarded the title of Duke, he felt that the funeral he gave to his wife was too simple. Yuchi Jingde returned home in rich clothes and rebuilt Mrs. Su's tomb. She made Mrs. Su's tomb high-end and classy to express his longing for his late wife. (Egong was saddened by the long absence of his wife, cherished the eternal thanksgiving of musical instruments, thought about the mushrooms and chanted, and made a long mat and felt sad, so he set his mind to the old funeral place on December 22, the eighth year of Zhenguan.)

Yuchi Jingde later married another official wife, but he never forgot his first wife, Mrs. Su. When Yuchi Jingde was in his later years, he had a premonition that his time was running out, so he wanted to be buried together with Mrs. Su. In ordinary families, when husband and wife are buried together, they only need to give birth to their children. Yuchi Jingde was a great hero who wanted to be buried with Li Shimin Zhaoling . Who he wanted to be buried with had no say but the emperor's approval. When Yuchi Jingde was on his deathbed, he wrote a memorial to Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Zhi, naming Mrs. Su to be buried with her and requesting Li Zhi's approval.

Yuchi Jingde died not long after receiving this memorial. He asked Mrs. Su to be buried with him, and Li Zhi had no way to refuse. Li Zhi quickly sent people to open Mrs. Su's old grave and moved her coffin to Zhaoling to be buried with Yuchi Jingde. Li Zhi also issued a special edict, posthumously naming Mrs. Su as Mrs. E. The edict said: "As a gift to Situ Bingzhou, the governor of E Guogong Jingde's late wife Su, who is chaste, graceful, fragrant, soft, bright and good at beauty. Yuan Zi Ling Fan, as a high-level family. Xie Lu is sad, and Lan Yi died early. Although the meaning of the same acupuncture point is applied in the ritual ceremony; from the title of nobility, it is not included in the badge. It is appropriate to show grace and honor. A quiet road. It can be given to Mrs. E Guo. "

In the fourth year of Xianqing, 46 years after Mrs. Su's death, she was ordered by Tang Gaozong to be buried with Yuchi Jingde in the tomb of Zhaoling. After 46 years apart, the couple can finally be together forever. Mrs. Su only lived to be 25 years old. She was unfortunate. Mrs. Su has a husband who will be loyal to her until death, and she is lucky. Yuchi Jingde spent his whole life as a soldier, but he was a tough man and tenderhearted towards his wife. Being ruthless does not necessarily mean you are a true hero. Yuchi Jingde loved Mrs. Su all his life, and he was a true man.
