Did Xiao Hou in history really marry Tang Gaozu?

After Emperor Wendi established the Sui Dynasty, he was chosen as the princess of his beloved son Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

Hou Yaozong is clever, knowledgeable and skilled in medicine. He won the favor of Wendi Deng and her husband Yang Guang, gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and made great contributions to her husband's office.

After Yang Di ascended the throne, although he was over forty years old, Xiao Hou was still loved and respected by people.

After Yang-ti, there was much adultery, and after Xiao, there was no result.

After Yang-ti was killed in Jiangdu, Hou Yaozong, in her fifties, took her young grandson and daughters of the royal family to rebel Yu Wenhuaji and Dou Jiande, and later Princess Yicheng welcomed her into East Turkistan. The Sui people in exile in Turkey took precedence over the Yangdi government, and Hou Yaozong lived with her in Dingxiang.

In the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan, Li Jing destroyed the East Turkistan, and Hou Yaozong returned to Chang 'an and lived in Sing Tao.

After the death of Xiao in the twenty-first year of Tang Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong buried him with Emperor Yang in Yangzhou as a gift from the queen.

Xiao Huanghou is not famous in history.

In later plays and novels, Hou Yaozong was implicated by Emperor Yang Di and was described as a "female curse" with no talent, no virtue and disloyalty.

In real history, Hou Yaozong is a traditional woman with soft temperament and high cultural accomplishment. She is neither a femme fatale nor a woman who plays politics.

Xiao Hou was the daughter of Xiao Kui, Ming Di in the Southern Dynasties. Born in February, Jiangnan customs were regarded as ominous, so I was fostered in my uncle's house and lived in poverty for a period of time.

Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty wanted to choose a concubine for Yang Guang from the nobles of Liang Dynasty. After divination, among many women, only she was a good omen, so he named her a princess.

In Sui Shu and Northern History, it is said that Xiao Hou is gentle, intelligent, knowledgeable, literate and knows the art of divination.

Before he began to reign, Yang Guang was inseparable from Hou Yaozong in order to please his mother, Queen Dugu. Since he acceded to the throne, he has always had a good relationship with Hou Yaozong, and he has always taken Hou Yaozong with him when traveling around the world.

As the queen of Yang Guang, Hou Yaozong has a strong sense of hardship. She once wrote a book "Narrating Zhi Fu" and gently persuaded Yang Di. In the article, there is no lack of "if you are in a boudoir, your heart is chilling."

The epigram that there is danger in a husband's height is full and prevents overflow.

When Yang Di went to Jiangdu, there were peasant uprisings everywhere, and the guards plotted to rebel. But Yang Di closed his eyes and put the person who reported the rebellion to death. Later, someone wanted to report it, but Hou Yaozong stopped him, saying too much would only worry the emperor.

From then on, the husband and wife were trapped and worried about the city until Yang-ti was killed by Yu Wenhuaji.

After Xiao, the maid-in-waiting hurriedly buried Yang-ti with a drawing board and was taken back all the way.

On the way, Yu Wenhuaji was killed by Dou Jiande, and Hou Yaozong became a prisoner.

At this time, the emperor's sister, Princess Yicheng, who married the Turks, sent someone to meet Xiao, and spent 1 1 year in Saibei, until the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan (630), when Tang Jun defeated the Turks and Xiao returned to Chang 'an.

Xiao's wandering in the second half of his life has become the material for unofficial history and her novels to vilify her "one woman marries five emperors", but these are not based on historical facts.
