Yu Wentai's son and nephew established the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wendi, Du's son-in-law, founded the Great Sui Dynasty. The grandson of Li Yuan and Du Fu's grandson established the Tang Dynasty. The descendants and relatives of the Eight Pillars State are so prominent that the scholars in Sui and Tang Dynasties have great respect for their valve reading.
There's a guy named Yu Jin in the Eight Pillars General. Yu Jin was a prime minister and general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the official. I will be named Duke Yan. Yu Jin had a great-grandson named Yu Zhining, who served as Li Shimin's secretary for a long time. When Li Shimin established the Literature Museum, Yu Zhining was one of 18 bachelors.
Yu Zhining is a descendant of Yu Jin, a core member of Guanlong Noble Group, and also a confidant of Li Shimin. When Yu Zhining was in Li Shimin, he served as the teacher of the Prince for a long time. Li Chenggan and Li Zhi are both Yu Zhining's apprentices. After Li Zhi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Yu Zhining, an imperial envoy, immediately became prime minister and was named Duke Yan.
Yu Jia is an aristocrat. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, he was rich for 300 years. In ancient times, there were five titles for three consecutive generations, even nobles. Yoga Yu is a nobleman, so many people want to marry Yoga Yu. For example, Li Chen, the great emperor of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, wanted to marry Yu Jia. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent a letter to Princess Yongfu asking him to marry Yu Cong.
In the Tang Dynasty, aristocratic children were unwilling to marry princesses. For example, Li Zhi issued a decree to marry the eldest daughter Princess Taiping to Xue Shao. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records that Xue Shao's family didn't want to marry Princess Taiping, and they tried their best to get rid of this marriage. Under the power of Tang Gaozong, the Xue family wanted to marry Princess Taiping, which led to the demise of the family.
The princesses in the Tang Dynasty had a bad reputation, and Xuanzong was very strict with them. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was afraid that after his daughter married the gentry, she would do something out of line and lose face to the royal family. She repeatedly taught her daughters to be sensible. Although Princess Yongfu's father is strict with him, he is always unruly and willful. Princess Yongfu's sister Princess Guangde is very sensible.
In ancient times, the emperor married his daughter. The standard procedure is to let the wind out first, saying that the emperor is willing to marry his daughter to her husband's family. When her husband's family knew what the emperor meant, they proposed to him. After the husband-in-law proposed marriage, the emperor gave a letter of marriage, and then there was a lot of etiquette. There are many procedures for an emperor to marry his daughter, and it usually takes one or two years to get married.
The marriage between Princess Yongfu and Yu Cong has been decided. According to etiquette, Yu Cong is Princess Yongfu's fiance. Just as Cong was waiting to marry the princess, a wonderful thing happened in the official book "New Tang Book". Cong Cong's husband became her brother-in-law.
Tang Xuanzong had dinner with her daughter. Princess Yongfu liked grilled fish, so the menu that day included grilled fish. I don't know why the grilled fish didn't come to the table that day. People in ancient times got married early, and the age of Princess Yongfu's engagement, that is, 15 years old, happened to be in what we call the rebellious period today. During the rebellious period, Princess Yongfu waited for a long time without waiting for his favorite grilled fish. As a result, he became a princess. Princess Yongfu first broke the chopsticks and then threw away the spoon.
Princess Yongfu's action greatly angered my father. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said to Princess Yongfu, "Yu Jia is an aristocrat who studied for 300 years. How can you be so unruly and willful? If I marry you into the gentry, you will definitely lose the face of the royal family. I have decided to cancel your marriage with Yu Cong and choose another princess to marry Yu Cong. "
In ancient times, it was shameful for a woman to divorce after betrothed to her husband's family. Princess Yongfu and Yu Cong's marriage has been made public. Princess Yongfu divorced in the case of world-renowned, and was also written into the national history, becoming a negative example of the unruly princess. Princess Yongfu broke a pair of chopsticks and threw a spoon, which really cost a lot of money.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty decided to change Princess Yongfu and let the sensible Princess Guangde marry her sister. Yu Cong was originally Princess Yongfu's husband, and later married Princess Yongfu's brother-in-law. Yu Cong was originally the brother-in-law of Princess Guangde, but she became the husband of Princess Guangde. Tang Xuanzong has nothing to lose. Yu Cong is still his son-in-law and he is also Yu Cong's father-in-law. This matter is clearly recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty: "Princess Guangde, marry Yu Cong. At the beginning, Shang Yan was Princess Yongfu, and the master had dinner with the emperor. In a rage, he broke all the swords and chopsticks. The emperor said, can this be the wife of a scholar? More importantly, it is the master. "
Princess Guangde married her sister and shouldered her father's entrustment, hoping to establish the image of Princess Datang as a good wife and mother. After her marriage, Princess Guangde was sensible, took care of her husband and taught her children, and won the praise of the official history. Finally, she didn't embarrass the Tang royal family. "New Tang Book" especially praised Princess Guangde, saying that "the host family has etiquette, and there are only a few waiters, but the counties and counties are a legacy. All internal and external crowns, weddings, funerals and sacrifices are made by the Lord, winning the hearts of the people and winning the hearts of the world. "
The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records that there was a proverb in the Tang Dynasty: "If you marry a princess, it's nothing to marry an official."
Translated into vernacular, this sentence is: "The princess is unruly and willful. Whoever marries a princess is equivalent to taking the lawsuit home. "
The reputation of the princess in the Tang Dynasty has not been very good, which makes the literati reluctant to marry the princess. Tang Wenzong once wanted Princess Zhenyuan and Princess Lin Zhen to marry the cremation, but the cremation shirked and didn't want to marry the princess. Tang Wenzong doubted life and asked, "Is civil marriage an official title? My 200-year-old son of heaven is not as good as Cui and Lu Ye? "
Princess Tang has a poor image in the eyes of the literati. Princess Guangde's virtue saved a little reputation for Princess Tang. Unfortunately, at this time of Datang, that is, the sun is dying. Princess Datang's reputation cannot be redeemed by a princess Guangde. Princess Datang's reputation is still quite bad on the whole.
