The Tang Dynasty's "most miserable and pro-princess", just half a year after her new marriage with her husband, her head was sacrificed to the flag
In the eyes of the ancients, if you can be born in the imperial family, it is simply a gift from heaven, and as a child or relative of the emperor, you will be more glorious and honorable, and your status will be very high. However, in the ancient power struggle, the so-called noble princesses were treated as political goods for a long time, and the most common way was to be close to each other, and the encounters of relatives and queens were different. And in the Tang Dynasty, there was a princess who was close to her, which can be said to be the most tragic in history, what happened to her?
She is Princess Yifang, that is, the granddaughter of Tang Xuanzong, in fact, she has lived humbly since she was a child, and even sometimes like Xiaocao, although she has been looked down upon by others, but she has a stubborn personality like Xiaocao. When she grew up, she thought that her good days were coming, but the weather was unpredictable, and in order to stabilize the regime, she was regarded as a victim of politics, and eventually married to the Xi people.
Many people may not know much about this ethnic group, and even rarely mention this name in history, in fact, between the Sui and Tang Dynasties until the Liao Dynasty, this ethnic group played a pivotal role in northern China. By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the importance of this ethnic group was getting higher and higher, even more powerful than the Khitan people. In fact, Princess Yifang was not the first princess to be with this ethnic group, Tang Xuanzong had married his granddaughter Princess Gu'an and Princess Dongguang to the leader of this ethnic group, Lu Su, and then Tang Xuanzong married Princess Yifang to Li Yanpet, the new successor, in order to win over this nation.
Although the princess was reluctant at first, in such a patriarchal society, what right did women have to say? In the end, they were forced to go on the road, but they were married for less than half a year, and because An Lushan had been invading this ethnic group and the Khitan tribe in the border area, this nation once again betrayed the Tang Dynasty. The leader of this nation was very angry about this, so he killed the Tang Dynasty princess who had been sent to make peace, and finally cut off her head and sacrificed the flag.
In this way, this Tang Dynasty princess has since disappeared in history, and some people also sigh, in such a society where men are superior to women, how about being born in the imperial family? In the end, it is just a pawn in the hands of others, and there is a danger of turning around at any time!
