There is nothing good to say. This is the unified feeling of later historians when writing the biography of Xu Yanrong, Queen Xuanwu Xiaojing of Beiqi. Therefore, her life can only be written from the perspective of her family background, the prophecy when she was born, her gentleness and demureness, and the fact that she was the wife of Emperor Xuanwu and the mother of Emperor Jing. She has neither glorious deeds that can affect history, nor women's mottos that can be admired by future generations, just like the virtuous queens who once left their names in history. At least the historians think so, but what about the real her? On one side is the emperor who is controlled by others, and on the other side is the powerful minister who holds great power. Which way should the balance in her heart tilt...
Purpose: In our long official historical records, there are very few female figures. Except for appearing in biographies of concubines and biographies of women, they can only be seen occasionally in male biographies.
And these few figures have become the background of describing this man's life because of a certain word, something, or a certain identity. Peeling off this background, what will happen to their thoughts, words and deeds? Just like being as noble as a queen, what kind of life should one have behind the historian's standardized description?
