Surprise! The most impressive father-in-law, Dugu Xin, actually became the father-in-law of three emperors!

The outstanding father-in-law who served as the father-in-law of three emperors was the name given to his wife’s father, also known as Taishan and father-in-law. Not every man has the chance to be the father-in-law. You need to meet two conditions: have a daughter and be able to get married. It doesn't sound very complicated either. Daughters all want to marry into a good family. In ancient China, if they could marry the king of a country, smoke would rise from their ancestral graves and the whole family would burn incense. Fortune tellers always say that whoever is destined to be the empress means that their destiny will bring wealth. Some people may say that the life of being relegated to the cold palace is so miserable and bitter, and the intrigues in the harem are so frightening, but it is still the dream of many people to be elected to the king's side.

To use an inappropriate analogy, corrupt officials of all dynasties and generations in history knew that they might be imprisoned and exterminate the nine tribes in the future, but they still went ahead regardless of life and death. The same principle is true. In fact, even if you marry into an ordinary family, you will still have the trouble of three wives and four concubines competing for favor. When people imagine the future, they always see the bright side, such as the emperor pampering himself, or one day becoming the queen. No one who enters the palace wants to go to the cold palace. No matter how miserable Yang Guifei's ending is, she will not regret entering the palace. If God gives her another chance to come back, I think she will say four words: I will enter the palace again. After all, the jokes came later. Therefore, parents all over the world feel that the rebirth of a male and a female should also reflect the current situation.

Whether the father-in-law is good or not depends to a certain extent on whether his daughter marries well. After marrying the emperor and being granted a title, the father will be the father-in-law. The emperor's father-in-law must be extremely awesome. Not only the father-in-law is Niu, but also the whole family follows Niu. In this way, the father-in-law must be discerning when choosing a son-in-law. Whether the son-in-law will be successful in the future requires keen judgment. Dugu Xinniu was outstanding because he chose three good sons-in-law for his three daughters. In the end, the three daughters were all respected as queens, and they were queens of three different dynasties. The emperor's father-in-law is unmatched by others, and the father-in-law of the Three Dynasties is unique. He can be called the most awesome father-in-law in history.

Dugu Xin (503~557), whose real name is Dugu Ruyuan. Born in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, he was a native of Wuchuan Town (now southwest of Wuchuan, Inner Mongolia), and his ancestral home was Yunzhong (now Datong, Shanxi). He was a Xianbei Huns. Dugu Xin has a beautiful jade tree facing the wind. "Northern History" said that he had a beauty appearance, was good at riding and shooting, and was very good at martial arts. Just like today's singers, who are both stylish and able to sing, they will definitely captivate everyone. At that time, Dugu Xin was also admired by many fans. He was known as Dugu Lang and was a king-level figure. Dugu Xin's family was prominent and he had been a noble for generations. However, Dugu Xin did not catch up with the good times. When his family fell into decline, it coincided with the uprising of six towns in the north and the storm swept the Northern Wei Dynasty. Dugu Xin began his lifelong military career. He participated in the suppression of the rebels, and also participated in Ge Rong's Hebei uprising army, and later joined the government. After Gao Huan took control of the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he defected to the commander of Guanlong, his fellow countryman Yuwentai, who later became the actual leader of the Western Wei Dynasty. Establishers and Powers. In the light of swords and shadows, Dugu Xin's official position is getting bigger and bigger.

Dugu Xin has a true and upright character. "History of the North" records that Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was unwilling to be manipulated by Gao Huan, a powerful minister, and wanted to use Yuwentai's power to deal with Gao Huan. Duguxin ignored the fact that all his family members were in Gaohuan's territory, and went to join the court to serve the country loyally. Emperor Xiaowu was grateful for the chaos in the world and recognized loyalty, so he was appointed by Prime Minister Ya and made him the Duke of Fuyang County. Later, he was promoted to General Hussar and Grand Sima. After the Yuwen family usurped the Wei and established the Zhou Dynasty, he was awarded the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom for his contribution to the Wei Dynasty by assisting the Zhou Dynasty. He was one of the eight pillar states that the imperial court relied on. He was a very popular minister and had a prominent position for a while.

Dugu Xin was still an able minister in governing the world. When he was in charge of Longyou, he had outstanding achievements in governance, his faith was far-reaching, and his reputation spread far and wide. Yuwentai therefore gave him the name Xin, which is the origin of Dugu Xin's name. It will not be a good thing in any dynasty or generation if one has great achievements. Wei Shou, a minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, said in his memorial "Appeal to Liang Wen" that Dugu Xin refused to obey Longyou, saying that Dugu Xin wanted to separate and dominate. In fact, he was saying something to sow discord. As expected, it aroused Yu Wentai's suspicion. Dugu Xin had a bad premonition. Then he offered to return the favor.

After Yuwentai's death, his nephew Yuwenhu came to power. Zhao Gui, who was also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, was squeezed out, so he conspired with Duguxin to get rid of Yuwenhu. As a result, the matter was exposed, and Duguxin was implicated and was given poisoned wine by the emperor. Ling committed suicide at the age of 55.

Dugu Xin is a legendary figure in history, which is not only reflected in his ability to conquer battles and repeatedly perform extraordinary feats. The most important thing is that he gave birth to three daughters who were queens, namely Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Empress Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty and Empress Wenwen of the Sui Dynasty. This is really rare in history. Duguxin's eldest daughter married Yuwentai's eldest son Yuwenyu. At that time, Yuwenyu had not yet become the emperor, but was a local official. The emperor was in the vassal, and he took her as his wife. When he was the governor of Qizhou, he had good political affairs and was a very capable person. After Yuwen Hu deposed and killed the 15-year-old puppet emperor Yuwen Jue, he welcomed Yu Wenyu as the king of heaven. History books say that Yu Wenyu was tolerant, bright and benevolent, harmonious to the nine ethnic groups, and quite capable of being a king. If he could stay in power forever, he would be a good emperor. Unfortunately, his life was not good. He was poisoned by Yuwen Hu after only three years in office. The fate of Duguxin's eldest daughter was not good either. She died after only two months of being queen. After Yu Wenyu officially proclaimed himself emperor, she was posthumously named Empress Mingjing.

Duguxin’s fourth daughter was the mother of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family was also a prominent family at that time, so Li, the son of Captain Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillar States, became the son-in-law of Dugu Xin, Li Yuan's father. When Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, his mother had died, so he was posthumously named Empress Yuan Zhen. Dugu Xin's youngest daughter Dugu Jialuo married Yang Jian, the later founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. This is a real queen, and she is very strict with her husband and does not let Emperor Wen touch other women. She also uses the position of concubine and concubine, and there is no third concubine. However, Dugu Jialuo was extremely talented and politically savvy, and she was of great help to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. People at the time called her two saints together with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, which shows how powerful she was. There is a reason why Dugu Xin fell in love with Yang Jian. "Book of Sui" says that Dugu Xin married his daughter after seeing Yang Jian's extraordinary appearance. Yang Jian was the son of Yang Zhong, Duke of Sui Dynasty. He was also a son of a high-ranking cadre, and the young man was handsome enough. The face has the appearance of wealth and honor. It can also be seen from this that Duguxin was very cautious in choosing his son-in-law.

In the author’s opinion, Dugu Xin became the head of the state of the Three Dynasties because of his high position and authority, so his daughter had to marry someone with corresponding status. It was not because he took advantage of his daughter. Since being an official in the government requires joining forces, the family is very important. If two princes become in-laws, their power will more than double! Nowadays, there is a new trend of marriage between officials and businessmen, which emphasizes the three-dimensional strength and is also a variation of strong alliances.
