what? Li Shimin There are actually four concubines named Yang?
Are you teasing me? This matter has to be well-rugged.
When you open " New Book of Tang ", it's true. "Biography 5" records: Taizong's fourteen sons: Empress Wende gave birth to Chengqian, the fourth son Tai, and the Emperor Gaozong; the harem was born Kuan; Yang Fei gave birth to three sons Ke and six sons Yan ; Yin Fei gave birth to You; Wang gave birth to Yun; Yan Fei gave birth to Zhen and eleven sons Xiao; Wei Fei gave birth to Shen; harem born Jian; Yang Fei gave birth to blessing ; Yang's Ming .
In addition, according to the encyclopedia, there are 14 concubines with names in Taizong, and the Yang surname is Yang Jieyu , who has not given birth to children.
counted, and there were 4 in total.
So, Tang Taizong Why do you like the woman surnamed Yang so much?
This has a lot to do with the close relationship between Sui and Tang royal family.
A joke about "the most awesome father-in-law in history" is popular on the Internet. It is said that it is Northern Dynasties There is an old man named Dugu Xin . He has three daughters who married Northern Zhou Emperor Ming Yuwen Yu, Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, and Tang Guogong Li Bing ( Li Yuan father, posthumously named Emperor Yuan).
According to the original text of "Book of Zhou·Biography·Volume 16", it is: (Dugu) Xin's eldest daughter, Zhou Mingjing; the fourth daughter, Empress Yuanzhen ; the seventh daughter, sequel to Sui Wenxian. Zhou Sui and the royal family were all relatives of the three dynasties, and it has never been seen since ancient times.
On the surface, this uncle is really good at playing. There are routines to marry his daughter. It is really enviable to be able to marry three emperors .
actually, a little analysis is not a big deal. According to Chen Yinke , Western Wei Powerful minister Yuwen Tai merged the advanced forces of Hu Han to create a clan ruler called Guanlong Group .
So, it can be speculated that The three dynasties of Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties were just that the three thicker branches on the big tree of Guanlong Group became the main trunks in turn .
This group has frequent intermarriages and relatively close and complex interpersonal relationships.
For example, according to matriarchal relationship, Yang Guang and Li Yuan are cousins of aunts, Yang Guang can be regarded as Li Shimin's cousin .
But at the same time, Yang Guang is Li Shimin's father-in-law . He has a daughter who married Li Shimin.
Although the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, it would not weaken the intermarriage between the two royal families of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it might even be more deliberate. After all, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, some royal families in the former Sui Dynasty still entered the Tang Dynasty. These people still had a certain influence. It is better to simply accept these influences and turn them into their own use .
Among the four "Yang Concubines" of Li Shimin:
1. Yang Guifei , (?——?), one of the four concubines of Emperor Taizong of Tang, gave birth to the 13th son, King Zhao Li Fu, Yonghui was named the Concubine of Zhao in the first year of the first year, buried with him Zhaoling . (This Yang Guifei is not Yang Guifei of Li Longji !!!)
2. Yang Concubine , (?——?), one of the four concubines of Emperor Taizong of Tang, gave birth to the third son, King Wu Li Ke , and the sixth son, King Shu Li Yan . " Old Tang Book " records that his father was Emperor Yang of Sui , but his emblem name was not recorded, and the burial place of is also unknown.
3. Yang Jieyu , (?——?), Sui Dynasty Guan Wang Yang Xiong granddaughter, and the third daughter of Yang Gongdao, the Wei Palace Consultant to Join the Army. At present, there is no reliable evidence to prove that Yang Jieyu and Yang Guifei are the same person, and has not found his tomb in Zhaoling .
4. Yang's , (?—647), the niece and granddaughter of King Yang Xiong of Sui Guan, was originally Chaola King Li Yuanji Princess (married younger siblings, the Hu people's marriage tradition). In the late Zhenguan period, he was favored by Li Shimin and gave birth to his 14th son, , Cao Wang , Li Ming. Li Ming was later adopted by Li Yuanji.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the concubines of the Tang Dynasty had several levels: Queen , Four Concubines (Niufei, Shufei , Defei, Xianfei ), Jiupin , Jieyu , Beauty, Talent, Baolin, Imperial Girl, Cai Nu and so on.
, the four people left no names, they can only judge and distinguish from the level. Yang Guifei and Yang Guifei are the same level, and Yang Concubine is the daughter of Yang Guang, Yang Jieyu and Yang family are also descendants of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. It is boldly speculated that this Yang Guifei is mostly also a child of a certain branch of the Sui Dynasty's royal family of the Sui Dynasty, or a certain branch of the Hongnong Yang family .
Hongnong Yang family is a famous family with Hong Han Prince of the Western Han Dynasty Yang Chang as its ancestor. Yang Chang is the son-in-law of Sima Qian. His ancestor, Chiquan Hou, was named Marquis because of his corpse. Yang Chang's son Yang Yun released "Records of the Grand Historian". Later generations Yang Zhen is known as " Guanxi Confucius " . He once served as the Grand Marshal. The most famous of the folk is Yang Xiu , who is foolish with Cao Cao .
Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian claims to be a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong, and he is the fourteenth generation grandson of Yang Zhen. Although its authenticity is doubtful, considering that Li Tang also claims that is a descendant of Longxi Li family ( Xiliang after the rise of the royal family, it called itself a descendant of Li Guang in the Western Han Dynasty), everyone should laugh at it for fifty steps, so don’t laugh at the second brother. Anyway, it was still a marriage between the surname Li and the surname Yang.
But Yang Jian did have a minister of the same surname Yang Wang . This should be from the true Hongnong Yang clan, who was dependent on Wang Shichong group at the end of the Sui Dynasty. In 621, when Li Shimin recovered the Dongdu , Yang Wang was killed. But he had a famous descendant, that is, the true Yang Guifei who married Li Longji, a descendant of Li Shimin.
undoubtedly, this pair of Li Yang is even more famous in history and is popular.
If you ignore the difference between the two, Li Longji stole his son's woman, but in the end he failed to save his woman's life, he would be a good match.
Back to the beginning, in "New Book of Tang Dynasty: The Annals of Emperor Taizong", Li Shimin saved his cousin Yang Guang's life at the age of 16. Did he know that this relative would become his father-in-law?
or, because the two are actually very similar emperors?
