Why did Li Zue, Queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, suffer?
In May of the first year of Tianbao, Levin destroyed the Eastern Wei Dynasty and established the Northern Qi Dynasty. At that time, I was in love with two women, one was his wife and the other was his concubine. Who is the queen? This is a problem. Gao's royal families are Xianbei Han people, Gao Longzhi, Gao Dezheng and other royal families. On the grounds that "a Han Chinese woman can't be the mother of the world", they demanded that "choosing a good match is beautiful" and begged that "establishing festivals is expensive"; There is also Yang Yin of Shu Ming, "Insist on the story of the Han and Wei Dynasties and don't change the imperial concubine"; Gao Yang finally decided to let Li Zue wear a rockhopper. According to the situation at that time, at the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Qi regime, the political situation was not stable enough, and a powerful force was urgently needed to consolidate the imperial power. His concubine Duan was born in Xianbei aristocratic family, his father Duan Rong was Gao Huan's close comrade-in-arms, his mother was Lou Zhaojun's sister, and his brother Duan Shao was the king of the Plain, the secretariat of Jizhou and the history book. Duan himself is "talented and beautiful" and has a good relationship. He is the best candidate for the queen. In this case, Gao Yang insisted on establishing a Li Hanzu. It should be said that he attaches great importance to the feeling of marriage.
Gao Yang is a very cruel animal emperor. Especially in his later years, he was drunk and insane. He often beats and scolds the concubines in the harem. "The emperor beat his wives and even killed them", but he gave Li Zue "exclusive courtesy". For example, in order to amuse Li Zue, Gao Yang often "jumps while walking"; Even "only after sleeping, the people who serve the royal family will go out", and only when sleeping with Li Zue, the maids who serve the royal family stand outside the palace.
In the tenth year of Tianbao, a little sober Gao Yang had a whim and renamed Li Zue "Queen Hutton". "Kehutun" means "Kehutun", which is the title of Queen given by Tuguhun, Turkic, Uighur and other ethnic minorities. So why did Gao Yang change the name of Li Zue so clumsily? There are two main reasons. First of all, Gao Yang has a bold and ambitious side. In order to unify the world, he needs the support of Tuguhun and other forces. Renaming the Empress as "Kehutun" can narrow the distance between the neighboring ethnic minority regimes and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and meet the needs of softening the interests of ethnic minorities and nationalities. Secondly, our mother, Queen Lou, is a Xianbei. She has been at odds with Li Zue, the daughter-in-law of the Han nationality, calling Li Zue "Queen He Dun" in order to please Xianbei's habitual mother and ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to some extent.
Of course, this is only the analysis of future generations. As for what Gao Yang thought at that time, it is unknown. However, Gao Yang died before Li Zue understood the meaning of "Queen Cockton". After Gao Yang's death, Yin Gao acceded to the throne, and Li Zue became the Empress Dowager and her biological mother. Her name was changed from "Queen Cockton" to "Queen Zhaoxin". Although you are the Empress Dowager, Lou Zhaojun is the powerful Empress Dowager, and her youngest son is almost a puppet. Li Zue is in an awkward position. In the early Ming and Yuan Dynasties, Yang Yin, Gao Guiyan, Yan Zixian and others.
The power struggle is not only a man's business, but also a woman's threat, not to mention that both sides are strange mother-in-law of different nationalities. Queen Lou took the initiative to attack and cursed: "Can I let my mother and son be considered by the old man and woman?" It means that our mother and son can be bullied by you, an old Han woman. Just wishful thinking. When Li Zue saw the tide ebbing, he was scared to "thank humbly". This "thank you" is not a door-to-door thank you, but an apology. Then, Queen Lou scolded Yin Gao again, and Yin Gao was at a loss. She replied: "But my son's life, my son left the temple, which belongs to my uncle's punishment", which means that Yang Yin and others were treated by my uncle's high performance, just to save my life, so I left the temple. As a result, Yang Yin and others were all killed. After the removal of dissidents, Queen Lou abolished her grandson and made her son emperor in August of the same year. Soon, seventeen-year-old Yin Gao was killed by Gao Yan. Gao Yan was a short-lived ghost who died in November of the first year of Taining. His younger brother Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne.
Gao Zhan is a notorious sex maniac, and she has long wanted to hook up with her sister-in-law. When he became emperor, Gao Zhan began to blackmail Li Zue. In this regard, the legend of the Queen of Northern History said: "After Wu Cheng practiced and was forced to commit fornication, he said,' If you don't allow me, I will kill your son'." After fear, follow it. "In order to save his son, Li Zue had to endure humiliation to satisfy Gao Zhan's animal desire. Soon, Li Zue became pregnant. A widow slept with her brother-in-law, causing widespread concern. Now, she is pregnant with an evil seed. Li Zue is extremely ashamed and ashamed. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Li Zue simply became a "maid-in-waiting" and did not allow others to enter Zhao Xin Palace. However, the news leaked out. One day, the youngest son, Gao Shaode, came to visit his mother and was stopped at the door. Gao De was very angry, so he cursed at the door: "Don't you know evil? My sister was pregnant and didn't see her son. "Call my mother and aunt, also called my sister, this is very common. The "elder sister" here is my mother Li Zue. When Li Zue saw the scandal leaked out and was laughed at by her son, she was "ashamed, so she had no daughter" and her daughter was strangled by herself.
Li Zue didn't expect that her impulsive behavior not only sent her son Gao Shaode to the jaws of death, but also made her suffer the "naked punishment" of sweeping the floor with dignity.
When Gao Zhan found out that her daughter had been killed, she was angry with embarrassment. Out of strong revenge, Gao Zhan sent someone to capture Gao Shaode alive, picked up a knife and said to Li Zue viciously, "You killed my daughter, why didn't I kill you?" Then, he killed Gao Shaode with one knife. Seeing his son killed by his own goat, Li Zue "cried, and the emperor became more angry.". After he took off his clothes, he whipped him. " In the history of China, some queens were badly beaten, such as the high-performance Queen Yuan and the Queen Wang of Li Zhi. Some queens were stripped naked in public, such as Zhu and Xing. Except Li Zue, there is no other queen who was stripped naked and beaten. Physical pain and mental humiliation made Li Zue unable to let go for several days. The scream in "The First Day" is not only Li Zue's painful groan for naked punishment, but also her lament for her ill-fated fate.
Li Zue was killed. However, Gao Zhan still didn't feel wronged, so he sent someone to fill it with silk bags, bleed it and pour it into various canals. It was a long time before Li Zue woke up from a pool of blood and was sent to Miaosheng Temple by an ox cart. It's Su Jiu. The calf is on its way to Miaosheng Temple. After that, Li Zue cut her hair and became a nun. Accompanied by Deng, he went to the temple and learned Buddhism, making ends meet. When the Northern Qi Dynasty perished, although Li Zue was abroad, he was captured in the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty and later moved to Guanzhong. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, she returned to her hometown, Zhao County. Since then, Li Zue has disappeared, quietly lost in the long river of history. As a queen and one of the "five beauties", Li Zue's experience can't help but remind people of her "beauty and short life". "It's a pity that I was born in Kyrgyzstan and married a tall clown. I was repeatedly insulted and even several jade flowers were broken." Ehu Yi Shi's comments are a summary of this short-lived woman.
