When the Western Han Dynasty arrived at Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, when he was the emperor, the national strength was strong, and the Xiongnu in the north began to split and fight with each other after the repeated blows of the Han Wu and Zhaoxuan eras, and the result became more and more declining, and finally split into five remnant forces. Among them, there was a single Yu named Hu Hanxi, who returned to the Han Dynasty and came to the Chang'an court to Emperor Xuan of Han.
After the death of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the original enthronement Hu Hanxie re-entered the court in 33 BC and asked for advice. Yuan Mi's family decided to choose a palace maid to give to Hu Hanxie. Shan Yu was happy and excited to receive such a young and beautiful wife.
When Wang Zhaojun said goodbye to Emperor Yuan of Han before returning to the Xiongnu, Emperor Yuan of Han saw that she was beautiful, dignified, and very cute, and wanted to leave her behind, but it was difficult for the Son of Heaven to lose his trust. It is said that after Emperor Yuan returned to the palace, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was that there was such a beauty in his harem. How could it not have been discovered? She asked someone to take out the portrait of Zhaojun from the portrait of the palace maid and look at it, only to know that Zhaojun in the portrait was far less cute than herself.
Why is it painted like this? It turns out that when the palace maid enters the palace, she is generally not directly selected by the emperor, but by painting the palace portrait and sending it to the emperor, it seems that it is decided whether to be selected or not. At that time, the painting Gong Mao Yanshou painted a portrait of the palace maids, and the palace maids wanted to give her gifts so that she would paint people very beautifully.
Wang Zhaojun was dissatisfied with this kind of corruption and extortion and was unwilling to give gifts, so Mao Yanshou did not paint Wang Zhaojun's beauty truthfully. For this reason, he was extremely angry in situ and undertook Mao Yanshou.
Wang Zhaojun rode out of Chang'an on horseback under the escort of Han Dynasty and Xiongnu officials. She braved the biting cold wind outside the plug and came all the way to the Hun Hell and became Wang Zhaojun's wife for dipping sauce. Zhaojun slowly got used to the life of the Xiongnu, got along well with the Xiongnu people, and passed on the culture of the Central Plains to the Xiongnu. After Zhaojun's death, he was buried in Daqingshan, and the Xiongnu people built a tomb for her, and enshrined it as the tomb of the immortal Zhaojun.
That is, after Sima Zhaozhihui, Zhaojun changed his name to Wang Mingjun.
