Lonely achievements - Wang Zhaojun

Wang Zhaojun, along with Xi Shi, Sable Cicada, and Yang Yuhuan, is known as the Four Beauties of Ancient China. The four beauties enjoy the "appearance of the closed moon and the shy flowers, the appearance of the sinking fish and the falling geese", and this "falling goose" tells the story of Zhaojun out of the plug.

In the first year of the Han Yuan Emperor's reign, the Xiongnu called Han Evil Shan to join the dynasty at his own request, and after the edict was approved, he set off from Saiwai and went straight to Chang'an, and after seeing that Emperor Yuan had performed the most respectful ceremony of Hu Bang, he asked Emperor Yuan to surrender the princess to make peace. Emperor Yuan was worried about the right and wrong of the frontier, and did not want to hurt the people and money, and promised at the moment. Afterwards, Emperor Yuan hesitated again, if he took the daughter of the clan as a princess, it would inevitably reveal flaws, not to mention that Shan Yu had already surrendered, but if the real princess married to the barbaric land, he could not bear it. At that time, Feng Zhaoyi said: "There are tens of thousands of people in the harem palace, and nine times out of ten have not seen Your Majesty, you may as well choose a palace girl with an ordinary posture." "Originally, after Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, he disliked the harem women's old age and decline, ordered people to choose the world's beautiful women to enter the palace, and let the painters depict the shape, and The Yuan Emperor was looking at the picture to summon luck. As a result, Emperor Yuan did not look closely, and randomly selected a posture that was not outstanding, and ordered the si to do it.

The next day, Emperor Yuan set up a banquet to invite Han Evil. Half drunk, the princess was summoned out so that she could go to the guest house with Hu Han to complete the marriage. Emperor Yuan didn't look at Yu Ke, and he only glanced at his soul. Only to see the beauty of the clouds embracing the green, delicate as willows facing the wind; pink cheeks like lotus flowers reflecting the sun; two eyebrows slightly crouched, until the harem pink daisy lost color. Emperor Yuan originally wanted to leave Zhaojun behind, but he saw that Hu Hanxian's eyes were staring at him and refused to turn, and Emperor Yuan was afraid of losing his trust and being slandered for lust. There was no way but to calm down, and waved a big hand: "This is a negative beauty, you have to go out." ”

Wang Zhaojun died in a bleak despair. Later, her bones were buried on the south bank of the Dahei River (30 kilometers south of present-day Hohhot). In the north, the grass and trees dried up in autumn and winter, while Wang Zhaojun's cemetery was green with trees and facing south, and Du Fu had a poem "Leaving the Green Tomb Alone toward Dusk". Hence her cemetery is also known as "Aozuka". The stone stele in front of the tomb reads, "A body returned to Shuo Desert, several generations of Jing soldiers, if in the name of merit, almost the same as Wei Huo." ”
