Wang Zhaojun's real name was Wang Yan, she was originally the pearl in the palm of the family, and after receiving the edict of the Han Yuan Emperor, he entered the palace to serve and became a palace maid.
After several years of lonely court life, he was sent by the Han Yuan Emperor to the Xiongnu and his relatives.
After Marrying the Xiongnu, Wang Zhaojun remarried three times, although these marriages have brought him a relatively beautiful and happy life, but tens of thousands of miles away from his hometown, homesickness has never disappeared.
After Wang Zhaojun married the Xiongnu, he passed on the advanced production technology brought from the Han Dynasty to the local people, which greatly promoted the development of the Xiongnu productive forces.
Wang Zhaojun advocated peaceful exchanges between the two countries, and for a long time, the Xiongnu were subservient to the Han Dynasty, and the exchanges between the two countries were.
Three generations of Xiongnu grandchildren have married Wang Zhaojun, although it looks like a joke, but Wang Zhaojun has spent his life practicing this "joke".
1. Enter the palace
When Wang Zhaojun was born, his father was already very old, and he regarded her as a pearl in his hand, and the people in the family loved him.
Wang Zhaojun learned a lot of techniques, and she looked beautiful, and soon, her fame spread throughout her hometown of Nan County.
Wang Zhaojun received the support of his family and the people of his hometown, and entered the court as a folk woman as a representative of Nan County, and became a palace maid of the Han Yuan Emperor. she
Life in the palace was very uneventful.
At that time, women who were selected from the people and wanted to become the emperor's concubines needed to be painted by a court painter and then presented to the emperor, and only after the emperor selected could they enter the palace to serve.
At that time, the court painter was named Mao Yanshou, Mao Yanshou was a person who saw money and opened his eyes, he openly accepted bribes from the palace women, and if he wanted the palace women to become better at the paintings, he needed to take money to inquire, and many palace women at that time wanted to get ahead, so they used a lot of money to bribe him.
Wang Zhaojun was a person of Gao Fengliangjie, and she was unwilling to bribe Mao Yanshou with money, so Mao Yanshou was very angry and painted her portrait very ugly.
Therefore, Wang Zhaojun also had no chance to become a person in the harem of the Han Yuan Emperor.
At that time, because Mao Yanshou hated Wang Zhaojun and did not use money to make a point, he was very angry, and Wang Zhaojun's portrait was extremely ugly, which left a deep impression on the Han Yuan Emperor and did not want to see this woman.
After a few years, Wang Zhaojun still did not wait for the opportunity to turn over, and he was disheartened, feeling that he could only spend this life in the deep palace.
Second, Zhaojun is out of the jam
After a few years, Hu Han evil came to the Han Dynasty to meet the Heavenly Son, although he was ostensibly bent on peace, but in fact the Xiongnu region was surging undercurrents, and it was possible to lead troops to attack the territory of the Han Dynasty at any time.
This time, he asked himself to be a son-in-law, and wanted the princess of the Han Dynasty to marry him.
Although Emperor Yuan of Han knew that Later Han Xiandan sincerely wanted to ask to marry a princess of the Han Dynasty, he was still angry with his strong momentum, so he wanted to marry an ugly-looking woman to him.
At this time, he remembered the painting from the previous years.
The palace lady in the painting is ugly and in poor shape, and she can marry the leader of the Southern Xiongnu.
So after some communication between the two countries, he married this "ugly" palace girl to Hu Han Evil Shan Yu.
When Wang Zhaojun changed into a dowry to travel, her appearance stunned Emperor Yuan of Han.
Wang Zhaojun herself was a beautiful person with good figure and good looks, and she had not been discovered in the harem for so many years.
Now he gave her to this outsider, and although Emperor Yuan of Han was angry, he did not behave well in front of Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, so he pretended to be generous and sent them away.
After sending Wang Zhaojun away, the celebrities of the Han Yuan Emperor went to look through these beautiful albums, and finally found the portrait of Wang Zhaojun, and after investigation, it was known that it was Mao Yanshou, the court painter at that time, who could scandalize Wang Zhaojun in order to collect money.
Emperor Yuan of Han was very angry, so he ordered the court painter to be killed.
After Wang Zhaojun followed Hu Hanxiandan to Saiwai, a very grand wedding was held between the two of them.
Hu Han was surprised that the monarch of the Han Dynasty could marry such a beautiful woman to him.
This woman was clever and versatile, and did not hesitate to treat the locals, passing on the seeds, agricultural tools, culture and other aspects brought back from the Central Plains.
Wang Zhaojun's practices made this brave monarch very grateful, and he loved this woman from afar even more.
Third, remarry one after another
Unexpectedly, his first husband, Junhu Han, died in the third year after their marriage, but the two had a son named Yi Du Zhi Yashi.
According to the tradition of the Xiongnu, the empress of the previous generation needed to marry the monarch of the next generation, and Tao Mogao inherited the position of Shan Yu, so Wang Zhaojun became his wife again.
Diao Tao Mogao also liked Wang Zhaojun very much, and the two of them also lived a very loving life.
Wang Zhaojun and her second husband gave birth to two daughters named Yun and Dang, who were also favored by their parents and family, and later married to xiongnu nobles.
Wang Zhaojun's second husband, Diao Taomo, also died 11 years after their marriage, and Wang Zhaojun was very sad.
All of Tao Mogao's wealth, including his queen Wang Zhaojun, needed to be passed on to his son, so Wang Zhaojun remarried again, which was already his third husband.
However, there are not many records in the history books that Wang Zhaojun married Hu He evil Shan Yu's grandson.
Wang Zhaojun was only a teenager when she first married Hu he was evil, and she was only 35 years old after the death of her second husband.
Wang Zhaojun was not willing to be lonely in the harem, so he wanted to participate in the political activities of the Xiongnu. Her participation also paved the way for politically friendly relations between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
As early as she married her first husband, Hu he and Evil Shan Yu, he urged her husband not to fight all day and to settle the political relationship between the two countries in a peaceful way.
Wang Zhaojun's family was also valued, his brother was also promoted by the emperor, and many times on the orders of the holy lord to send envoys to the Xiongnu, although Wang Zhaojun never returned home in her life, but the arrival of her brother also brought her a lot of comfort.
Later, the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu became better and better, and Wang Zhaojun's two daughters also served the empress dowager at the Chang'an Palace in Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty.
However, in the middle age of Wang Zhaojun, there was a crisis in the imperial court of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang seized power, and the Xiongnu were angry and corrupt, believing that they could not submit to the non-Liu clan, so a series of wars large and small occurred.
Wang Zhaojun was very desperate, and the peaceful scene he had created all his life was destroyed in just a few years.
After her death, she was enshrined by the Huns on the south bank of the Great Black River, and she was also worshipped as a god by the Huns for generations.
4. Summary
Since Wang Zhaojun entered the palace as a teenager, he first refused to bribe because he was dissatisfied with the misconduct of the court painter, resulting in his own life as a very lonely palace girl for several years, and then he was sent by the Han Yuan Emperor to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, and after a turning point, he became the wife of three generations of Shan Yu.
She can be described as a tortuous life, but it brought endless peace and stability to the peoples of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
After Wang Zhaojun married into the Western Regions, for a long time, the Xiongnu did not send troops to fight.
Not only that, Wang Zhaojun brought new technologies of handicrafts and agriculture from the Han people, and others promoted the development of local handicrafts and agriculture, mentioning the living standards of the Xiongnu.
Although Wang Zhaojun's remarriage of Shan Yu for three generations looks like a historical joke, it is precisely the fearless dedication of this Han Dynasty woman that has made the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu become good neighborly and friendly, and his contribution to the people of the two ethnic groups is immeasurable.
