Li Shimin's father, Tang Gaozu, embraced this beautiful woman with what unique skills?

In 566 AD, Li Yuan was born. Li Yuan was born in Chang 'an and his name is Tang Guogong. According to the blood relationship, he and Yang Guang can be said to be cousins and belong to the royal family. Looking back, the Li family is also a family of dignitaries, and has been a prominent family in Longxi for generations. Although Li Yuan was born in a famous family, his childhood was not happy because he lost his father when he was young.

As an adult, Li Yuan is charming and handsome, especially good at archery. For a big family like Li Yuan, there is no independent marriage, so political marriage is inevitable and the best way to form an alliance. However, Li Yuan married a wife on his own.

Today, most people remember that Li Yuan was the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he was very mediocre, much worse than his son Li Shimin. Actually, it's not. When he was young, he also stood out in many aspects, especially his archery, which won him the reward of a beautiful woman and made him a legend.

His first wife, Dou, is both talented and beautiful. It's time to get married. In order to choose a good husband, his father Dou Yi drew two peacocks on the screen and held a "blind date competition". He asked the suitors to shoot two arrows at each other. Both the famous family of Dou family and Dou's own talent and appearance have attracted many young people to shoot arrows. But many people missed it.

At this time, Tang Gaozu knew the future father-in-law's mind, and even shot two arrows, each in one eye, so he married Dou Shi into the house. The story of "Choose one of the birds" spread in Chang 'an, and was later successfully included in China Idiom Dictionary.
