We always praise Wang Zhaojun for her outstanding contributions to Chinese history, but forget her suffering. In ancient China, men liked to marry women to foreign tribes, whether the woman wanted to or not, even if she wanted to, no matter what the woman's life was like after marrying far away. The one we are talking about today is not Wang Zhaojun, her fate is very similar to Wang Zhaojun, she is the princess of Relief.
Princess Jieyou, one of the three most famous female diplomats in ancient China, married king Wusun, the second and pro-Wusun princess. The country of Wusun is far away in the western region, and this country is caucasian, which is far from the Han chinese. Princess Jieyou was very unaccustomed when she first went, and during the period of Emperor Wu of Han, the relationship between The Great Han and Wusun was very good, and Emperor Wu of Han liked to use the way of peace and affection to close the relationship with Wusun and jointly deal with the strong Xiongnu.
101 BC. The 20-year-old Princess Jieyou went to Wusun and walked for several months before reaching Wusun. There is a custom that when a king dies, his wives and concubines are to marry the new king. Because of this, Princess Jieyou successively married Junsu Jing, Junsu Jing's cousin Weng Guijing and Weng Guijing's son. This custom is cruel to the Han Chinese. The princess was helpless, but had to endure. As a result of marrying three times, she had six children, the youngest of whom died before he could grow up.
Princess Jieyou knew that she was carrying the heavy responsibility of the Alliance Han and Wusun on her body, and although everything here was very unaccustomed, she endured it, and as soon as she arrived in Wusun, she learned to eat meat like the Wusun people. Princess Jieyou's first husband Junsu Jing was not bad to her, this king was very friendly with the Han, but unfortunately the two had no children, a few years later Junsu Jing died, Junsu Jing's cousin Weng Guijing inherited the throne, and Princess Jieyou married him. Weng Guijing was the best of the three husbands, and princess Jieyou was the only one who gave birth to five children for Weng Guijing, and each child. All very impressive. Princess Jieyou had the favor of Weng Guijing, and there were many children and a good career, at that time her status was quite high, and no one in the Wusun Kingdom dared to ignore her.
During the Weng Guijing period, the relationship between the Wusun state and the Xiongnu was not good, so Weng Guijing deliberately snubbed the Xiongnu princesses who came to make peace, which made Wusun and the Han get closer and closer. The Xiongnu sent troops to attack Wusun, and the Han quickly sent 50,000 elite troops to defeat the Xiongnu. However, the Princess of Relief cannot be so lucky forever. After Weng Guijing's death, the new king was the child of Weng Guijing and the Xiongnu princess, Ni Ni, Princess Jieyou was forced to marry her, Ni Ni deliberately insulted her, princess Jieyou's life was very uncomfortable, and later, Weng Guijing's other son Wu Tu tu tu set himself up as king. In this way, the kingdom of Wusun was divided into two, and many years passed. Princess Jieyou had two sons who had died, and she was no longer a beautiful princess. In 51 AD, Princess Jieyou wrote to the Great Han Tianzi requesting to return to her homeland, and the Great Han Tianzi agreed. In this way, the 70-year-old Princess Jieyou returned to the Han Dynasty two years later. He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 7
