Marriage has always been regarded as a major event in life, which was called one of the four great joys of life in ancient times, and today's young people are more cautious about marriage, and basically all people want to have a happy marriage.
But the sons and daughters of the ancient royal family would be arranged to marry politically or to be close to each other for the sake of national stability, and the pro-women would give their lifelong happiness to a man they had never met, and you can imagine how great their sacrifice was.

There are many purposes of harmony, some out of helplessness, and some out of selfishness. Some emperors had to marry their beloved daughters to Fanbang and relatives in order to avoid war and stabilize the frontier, while some emperors sacrificed their daughters' happiness for a lifetime in order to expand their territory and seek better development.
For princesses who are close to each other, some even commit suicide in order to refuse to marry and kiss, but there are also princesses who have achieved their own careers after marrying in the past, such as Empress Dowager Mi Yue, but Mi Yue did not bring any benefits to the State of Chu after marrying into the State of Qin, why is this?
Many people may think that the best way to solve wars in ancient times was to increase the strength of troops to speed up the course of war, but in fact, the most commonly used method was to make peace, especially in chaotic dynasties, and examples of princesses and relatives abounded.

These princesses who are close to the family have traveled a long way to a strange country, not only to face the unfamiliar face alone, but also have nowhere to vent when they are wronged, so some princesses would rather commit suicide than kiss, but some princesses have achieved a career.
Princess Kuokuozhen of the Yuan Dynasty, arguably the princess who is the farthest in history, was arranged to go to the Ilkhanate and kinship in Western Asia, and it took more than two years of long journey to reach the Ilkhanate, but when Princess Kuokuozhen arrived at her destination with great difficulty, the Khan could not wait for her death.
The current Khan is the younger brother of the previous Khan, and the current Khan is not willing to marry her, in such an embarrassing situation, Princess Kuo Kuo Zhen wants to leave but has no travel expenses, no leave and no place to stay, so Princess Kuo Kuo Zhen helped the eldest son of the former Khan to seize the khan's position, and also became his wife, it is conceivable that she is indeed a brave and strategic woman.

After all, princesses who can live better in the end are only a minority, and there are many princesses who have suffered miserably, such as Princess Yifang. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi clan launched a rebellion at the instigation of the Turks, and in order to stabilize the situation, Tang Xuanzong married Princess Yifang to li Yanpet, the leader of the Xi clan, but was brutally killed in the second year of marriage.
When Princess Yifang first married the Xi clan, the Xi clan did make peace with the Tang Dynasty, but later An Lushan had been killing and plundering the people of the Xi clan, and was forced to rebel again, so Princess Yifang became a victim.
Princess Yifang's ending was not as lucky as Princess Kuokuozhen, but both of them brought benefits to the mother country, and quelling the war did not harm the half-point interests of the mother country, but Mi Yue, as a princess and a pro-princess, not only did not bring half a benefit to the Chu state, but became the driving force behind the final Qin annihilation of Chu.

First of all, in Mi Yue's heart, she had already left the Chu State, and she was a Qin person living in the Qin State. In ancient times, peace seemed to be the best way to solve the war, but for the country, for the princess herself, it was labeled as an "enemy country" from the beginning, no matter what she did, there were people watching, and she had to be careful when speaking.
Mi Yue, on the other hand, was a wise person, she regarded herself as a Qin person as soon as she came, and she put the interests of the Qin State in the first place in everything she did, without the slightest consideration of the Chu State, which is why she was able to gain a firm foothold in the Qin State. Mi Yue was chosen to marry a princess to the State of Qin, and she herself had some complaints about the State of Chu, which was remote and the situation was bad, and Mi Yue's resentment was even deeper, so she did not have the heart to seek benefits for the State of Chu.
In addition, when Mi Yue first married, the Chu state was much richer than the Qin state, and there was no need for Mi Yue to seek any benefits, and later the Qin state gradually became stronger, but at this time, Mi Yue had completely become a Qin person, and she would not do anything for the Chu state.

Secondly, for Mi Yue, Qin Guo and her have become one, a relationship of one glory and one loss. Mi Yue was already very favored when she was not yet pregnant, so someone advised her to speak for chu in front of the King of Qin, who expected to be reprimanded by Mi Yue, and no one mentioned it again.
Later, Mi Yue became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and at this time, her brother was also in an important position in the Qin State, and she would not seek benefits for the Chu State. At that time, Mi Yue's son had a very good chance of inheriting the throne, just as the so-called mother relied on her son to be expensive, Mi Yue would naturally help her son with all her strength, so Mi Yue would later use herself as bait to plot to attack Yiqu, and the final result was just as she expected, and she had to say that Mi Yue's courage and wisdom were not comparable to ordinary women.
In history, Mi Yue's son eventually became the king of Great Qin, and Mi Yue also became Empress Xuan, and the Qin state went to prosperity, which is the so-called one glory and one loss.

Finally, Mi Yue was very favored at that time, and it was easy to be big, but it was very difficult to achieve unity. After the death of King Wu of Qin, the imperial court of the State of Qin has been in turmoil, each of them has an object of support, and the king of Zhao Wuling at that time strongly recommended Yingji as emperor, at that time, Yingji was working as a proton in the Yan Kingdom, but under the pressure of the Zhao State, he had to take back Yingji.
Because Ofe Ji was still young, Mi Yue began to interfere in political affairs, and after Mi Yue entered the government, she reused her younger brother Mi Rong, plus her two sons, and the foreign relatives of the Chu State became a very powerful force in the Qin State, but there was no chance to expand the territory.
Although the foreign relatives were strong in the Qin state at this time, Mi Yue knew very well that if he was seeking the welfare of the Chu state at this time, then he and his son would not only become prisoners of the Qin state, but also be attacked by the people of the Qin state, so in order to show his sincerity to the qin state, he actually approved of attacking the chu state, and clapped his hands when Ying was all captured.

When Mi Yue was in power, he made a decision to kill and appoint cronies, so that the Qin state at that time formed a situation in which two younger brothers and two sons controlled the government, and they were also called "four nobles" in history.
However, when Fan Ju came to the Qin state, he analyzed the situation of the dynasty and politics for King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who was originally dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Xuanyue, and now someone came to give him advice, so he soon took it upon himself to take the government himself, and took a series of measures, changing the situation in which the "four nobles" controlled the government of the dynasty before, reusing Fan Ju as a minister, and Empress Xuan also lost power, until she later died of illness, so Mi Yue did not let the Chu state get half a benefit in her life.
