Although Wei Qing was said to be Wei Zifu's younger brother, their fathers were not the same. Their mother, Wei Mi, and her husband had a total of one son and three daughters, the son was Wei Changjun, and the three daughters were Wei Junru, Wei Shao'er, and Wei Zifu.
Some people are puzzled, where did Wei Qing run? Don't worry, Wei Qing is actually the illegitimate son of Wei Mi and Zheng Ji. At that time, the county official Zheng Ji went to the home of the Marquis of Pingyang to do things, and it was estimated that he was too handsome, so he hooked up with Wei Mi, and the result was Wei Qing. In other words, Wei Qing is the half-brother of Wei Zifu.
Originally, Wei Qing lived on his father's side, but Zheng Jiyi's big son was not good for him and called him like a slave, and eventually he returned to the Marquis of Pingyang and became the manu of the Princess of Pingyang. It can be said that without his sister Wei Zifu, there would be no future for Wei Qing.
First, Wei Zifu entered the palace, which gave Wei Qing a chance to contact Emperor Wu of Han.
When Emperor Wu of Han went to visit the tomb, he passed by his sister Princess Pingyang's mansion, and only then did he see the beautiful Wei Zifu. Emperor Wudi of Han was very happy, and with the help of Princess Pingyang, Emperor Wudi of Han succeeded in bringing Wei Zifu into the harem.
At that time, the harem was also constantly fighting, and Princess Guantao was the eldest princess of the Han Jing Emperor period, and she supported her daughter Chen Ajiao as an empress, so that her power was tilted to the opposition. Princess Pingyang was the eldest princess of the Han Wudi period, and she also wanted to support an empress to replace Princess Guantao's influence in the dynasty.
His friend Gongsun Ao and Zhuang Shi usurped it so that they would not die. On the news, Nai Zhao Qing was made the Jianzhang Supervisor, the Servant, and the half-mother Kun Di Gui, and rewarded thousands of dollars in a few days. He was the wife of the grandson of the grandson. The young man and Chen Zhaotong passed, and summoned gui palms. Gongsun Ao was thus enriched. The husband is the wife. Qing is the doctor of the Great Middle School. --- The Chronicle of History
For this reason, Wei Zifu successfully entered the palace, and was favored by Emperor Wu of Han and became pregnant with a dragon species. At that time, Chen Ajiao's stomach did not react at all, so of course she and Princess Tao of the old mother-in-law were almost not angry.
At this time, Wei Qing had already followed his sister's water and was already doing things in the Jianzhang Palace.
Therefore, Princess Guantao sent someone to hunt down and kill Wei Qing, but she was simply saved by Gongsun Ao.
After that, Emperor Wu of Han finally officially met with Wei Qing, and gave Wei Qing a series of rewards, and also made Wei Zifu a lady and their eldest brother Wei Changjun as a servant.
The old Wei family was full of people who were appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han, all thanks to Wei Zifu capturing the heart of Emperor Wu of Han.
Of course, there are also historical materials that prove that Wei Qing himself is also beautiful, that is a big handsome man.
The problem of eating both men and women in Han Wudi cannot be changed, and this great general is most likely one of the male favorites of Emperor Wudi of Han in the past.
He can hold up his chest and tell the world that he can ascend to the throne, relying entirely on his own beauty, not his sister's beauty. Slow down! It doesn't seem to be something to be proud of at all, so forget it.
Second, Wei Qing became a great general, and princess Pingyang would marry her former slave.
Princess Pingyang's emotional experience was quite rich, she was the daughter of Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, and was originally crowned Princess Yangxin.
However, after she married Cao Shou, the great-grandson of the founding hero Cao San, the Marquis of Pingyang, she was called the Princess of Pingyang, which is still a good point.
Princess Pingyang and Cao Shou had a son, Cao Xiang, and Cao Shou hung up. Later, Cao Xiang married Princess Weichang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu.
After the end of this emotional experience, the princess could not bear the loneliness, and then married Xiahou Po, the great-grandson of the founding hero Xiahou Bao.
As a result, Xiahou Po this guy did not give a force, because the adultery with his father's concubine was discovered, and he simply committed suicide, and princess Pingyang did not begin to enjoy her married life before she could end up with no disease.
In the beginning, qing was honorable, and Cao Shou, the marquis of Pingyang, had a bad disease and came to the country, and the eldest princess asked, "Who are the sages of the marquises?" "The great generals on the left and right are all said. The Lord laughed and said, "This is out of my house, and often rides from me, why not?" Left and right: "It is incomparably honorable today." "So the eldest princess, Empress Fengbai, said that shang was the lord of Qingshang Pingyang. --- Book of Han
Let's look at the first two husbands of Princess Pingyang, both descendants of the founding heroes, and they were also knighted. In the Han Dynasty, they were all well-known aristocratic figures, so how could she choose a slave Wei Qing as her third husband?
In fact, when Princess Pingyang was widowed for the second time, the Wei Qing family had already risen.
At that time, Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi made great contributions on the battlefield against the Xiongnu, and for this reason, the family of five was made a marquis, becoming the hottest family at that time.
The widowed Princess Pingyang looked at Wei Qing for the first time and found that he was indeed a spiritual boy. So he married Wei Qing, and Wei Qing naturally couldn't refuse, after all, he was the eldest princess.
Emperor Wu of Han was more happy, saying that he had married Wei Qing's sister, but Wei Qing in turn married his own sister, which was a great thing for Shuangxi to be at the door.
In fact, this means that when Wei Qing married Princess Pingyang, he was already a well-known and general. Otherwise, Princess Pingyang would not have been able to look up to Wei Qing. As her eldest princess, wouldn't it be nice to find a few small fresh meats?
Third, Wei Qing himself was also very hardworking, and there were almost no defeats in the war.
Wei Qing was a person who was good at seizing opportunities, and since Emperor Wudi of Han appreciated him and deliberately cultivated him, then Wei Qing certainly could not live up to the expectations of Emperor Wudi of Han.
Wei Qing was promoted all the way by Emperor Wu of Han to the high position of general of che qi, and at this time Emperor Wu of Han could finally realize his ideal, that is, to take the initiative to fight with the Xiongnu.
He divided the army into four routes, led by Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, and Li Guang.
The other three roads achieved nothing, except for Wei Qing, who won a great victory in the Battle of Longcheng, capturing as many as 700 Xiongnu. Wei Qing's Dragon City Flying General got its name from this.
This was the first victory in the Battle of Han and Hungary, which was of great significance and also laid the confidence for emperor Wu of han to fight against the Xiongnu.
Wei Qing's contribution was indispensable, so he was made the Marquis of Guannei by Emperor Wu of Han. Li Guang said: Niang Xipi, she has recognized the wrong road again.
In 128 BC, Wei Qing was appointed as a che general, exited yanmen, and led an expedition of 30,000 troops to the Xiongnu
Beheaded the Xiongnu army of several thousand people.
In 127 BC, the Xiongnu moved south, and Wei Qing led a large army to adopt the tactics of roundabout flank attack.
Wei Qing led his men around to the rear of the Xiongnu, cutting off the connection between the Xiongnu in the south and the Xiongnu in the Henan region of Mongolia, and then attacked the defended Xiongnu army from the south. In this campaign, Wei Qing captured thousands of Huns alive and captured millions of heads of livestock. Wei Qing was given the title of Marquis of Changping for his merits.
After that, Wei Qing organized several wars against the Xiongnu, and gradually became the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, and was named the Great Sima General by Emperor Wu of Han, becoming a leader in the army commanders of the Han Dynasty.
Summary: If you don't work hard, it is useless to have a golden key.
Wei Qing really relied on his sister Wei Zifu to be appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han. It can be said that this is just a stepping stone, after entering the door, how to play, it is completely dependent on Wei Qing himself.
Relying on his own efforts, he accumulated military merit little by little, and gradually became the most important general of Emperor Wu of Han, which is not accidental, without 100% effort, he could not do such a good job.
Later, Li Guangli, a brother-in-law who was also supported by Emperor Wu of Han, was a messy general, completely incomparable with Wei Qing, and finally surrendered to the Xiongnu, which showed that people were more popular than dead.
