In today's eyes, having a daughter is not a rare thing, and even many cultured people are still very welcome, and there is a girl who can be raised. But in ancient times, women often had no way to control their own destiny, whether it was a poor family, or a noble status, many girls could only marry a good family according to the arrangements of their parents.
In particular, girls who are relatives of the imperial family and the state, although they eat and drink well in many cases, but when they grow up, they also have to assume political obligations, either marrying officials in the imperial court or sending them to other places and relatives. And these princesses who are close to each other, some people can marry a good husband, and some people lose their lives because of the war.
Among them, there was a princess, who became the farthest married princess in China, and it took nearly two years on the road to reach her husband's side. However, after arriving, he found that his original husband had died of illness, and reluctantly had to marry his son. However, this marriage got a good fate, and compared with many princesses who were kind, she even got an incomparably noble status.
You know, although the princess of Harmony is noble on the surface, she is actually isolated. Many times, they can only look at their husband's face and act, and sometimes they have to choose between their country and their husband. If you choose the wrong one, you will become a victim between the two countries.
For example, it was written in the "History of Tang",
Princess Yifang
After marrying into a foreign country, he did not agree because her husband was preparing to send troops to harass the Western Regions. He was beheaded by her husband in public to show that he would not surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Compared to this princess, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty
Wide and true
I was very lucky. Perhaps some people do not know who this princess is, she was briefly mentioned in the "History of yuan", and she was one of the many daughters of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty.
Those who are familiar with history know that during the Yuan Dynasty, the territory of the entire empire was actually very large. The emperor's hand could not reach too far, so peace became the best choice. In order to control distant places, many princesses during the Yuan Dynasty became tools for marriage. And Kuo Kuo Zhen is also inevitable and has become one of them.
But West Asia at that time
Ilkhanate
The king, however, obeyed his wife's last wishes, hoping that Yuan Shizu would send the princess of the same clan as his wife to West Asia. After much deliberation and consultation, Yuan Shizu decided to send Kuo Kuozhen to West Asia as the king's next wife. As a member of the royal family, Kuo Kuozhen had to agree to this request of peace even if he did not want to accept it.
In 1290
The team of Kokuo Zhen and The Relatives prepared to travel by land and spend a year in West Asia. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, because of the great contradictions between the small tribal countries at that time, they launched a war with each other. The team, which felt unsafe on the road, withdrew to the capital after consultation and prepared to wait for the end of the war before setting off. To a large extent, this changed the fate of Kuo Kuozhen. Because it didn't work on land, it would either be the end of the war or it would start by water.
After months of consideration, in
Marco polo
At the suggestion, the group prepared to leave from Quanzhou and take the sea route to West Asia. You must know that at that time, the level of navigation was not as good as it is now, and it was very risky to sail between the countries alone, let alone to reach the Ilkhanate along dangerous routes.
However, the emperor's order was difficult to violate, and Kuo Kuo really and the pro-team still embarked on the sea route. Fortunately, although the sea was dangerous, she still reached her destination safely. Even more fortunately, in the past two years, her original husband, the old king, because he was too old to survive this time, died of a serious illness several months ago. After his death, his brother took the opportunity to take the throne and put his child Hezan under house arrest. After Kuo Kuo Zhen arrived in the kingdom, it was supposed to marry the new king, but for some reason, the new king did not accept Kuo Kuo Zhen, but gave him a marriage to his nephew -

。
And Ghazan did not accept his fate. After he became an adult, he used his talents and connections to cultivate forces in secret. A few years later, he overthrew his uncle's rule and became the real king. As a result, Kuo Kuozhen changed from an imperial concubine to a noble queen. After becoming queen, because in the previous years, Kuo Kuozhen was also inseparable from him, so Hezan also loved her quite much. The two people learn each other's culture and win the love of the people. Kuo Kuo-jin also spent his life happily.
Although in the present view, the matter itself is composed of various coincidences. It is precisely because of these coincidences that Kuo Kuo really got a happy life, and did not live his life alone in a foreign country like other princesses. On the contrary, she may be very good.
