In the fourteenth year of Tang Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin named Li Shi "Princess Wencheng". After two long-distance gifts from Songtsen Gampo, Li Shimin finally agreed to his request, and Princess Wencheng married Tubo and became the queen of Tubo Zampu Songtsan Gampo.
Since then, Tang Bo has been married as a good relative, and in the past two hundred years, whenever the new Zampu has ascended the throne, he will ask Tang Tianzi to "register his destiny.". Another political and pro-pro-success has been facilitated, which is precisely the peace-seeking diplomacy of the times.
However, it is also strange to say that during Li Shimin's period, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, so why did it succumb to this method in exchange for peace? After all, the border plug is so far away, can Tang Taizong bear to watch his daughter suffer in the past?
Isn't the vision a bit short? You deserve to be emperor.
In order to avoid the suffering of the people from war, Li Shimin also wanted to maintain peaceful relations with the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, which was only resolved by peaceful means. I feel that I have no face to say, and now that others have come to the door to talk about this matter, do you want to refuse?
Seemingly beautiful and tall things, all aspects of pain are known only to them. After leaving the Central Plains, Princess Wencheng never stepped into the land of her hometown for half a step.
Princess Wencheng lived for 40 years after coming to Tubo, including only 9 years with Songtsen Gampo, who eventually died for physical reasons, leaving her widowed for 31 years. After such a long time, did Princess Wencheng not have the idea of returning to the Tang Dynasty?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Songtsen Gampo courting</h1>
The reason why Songtsen Gampo has such an idea is only because of the strength of my Central Plains culture. He first sent emissaries to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute to some gifts, and Li Shimin was bound to return the favor when he saw the situation, and sent Feng Dexiao to Tibet as an envoy.
In this way, Songtsen Gampo climbed the relationship, the two sides had a good foundation of friendship, did not expect him to "play a big game".
In 634, Songtsan Gampo decided to make a peace request to the Tang Dynasty. He deliberately sent his own prime minister over and expressed a strong will in his heart. You don't seem to be qualified for such a small country, right? When Li Shimin learned of this news, of course, he rejected him.
When his prime minister returned, he told him that Songtsen Gampo was angry and decided to expand eastward. After taking Tuguhun, Songtsen Gampo ignored the Tang army's defenses and continued to let his army attack.
At that time, Datang had just taken this piece of land, and the main force was still on the way. Unexpectedly, before much fighting, Songtsen Gampo's army ran away without a trace.
Such an unreasonable move made me know the strength of Datang. What's the use of being angry? He had no ability, so he withdrew his army from the garrison and prepared more than half of his belongings to come to Datang again.
Li Shimin was a man who was more talkative, and with the care of the people of the world, he agreed to Songtsen Gampo's request. Well, I will marry my daughter to you, I am your half father, and I will be a little more obedient in the future, otherwise I will find you to settle the account.

Princess Wencheng set off from Chang'an, crossed Lanzhou, and crossed the Tuguhun, experiencing a long journey of more than a year in total, crossing the barrier of thousands of mountains and rivers, which was still very arduous.
At that time, although there were many military escorts, it was difficult and dangerous, and the cars and horses were tired, and they were repeatedly in danger. Fortunately, Li Daozong's Lord Li held a festival guard, and Tubo Daxiang Lu Dongzan was resourceful and ensured that the two successfully reached Luobei.
After the group reached the vicinity of Baihai, the source of the Yellow River, Songtsen Gampo and his army waited on the opposite bank. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart, saying that this was the glory of the whole ancestor.
The hard-won political marriage must be offered the highest courtesy, and Songtsen Gampo specially built a Potala Palace for Princess Wencheng. Such a sincere move has won the praise of datang political high-level.
Songtsen Gampo, out of his admiration for the culture of the Central Plains, sent emissaries to study many times. After all, he is his own "old man", as long as there are traditional festivals, he will offer a piece of heart.
When he married Princess Wencheng, Songtsen Gampo was only 25 years old. Thinking that this happy life would last a long time, he did not know that because of physical reasons, Songtsen Gampo died young at the age of 34.
Princess Wencheng, who was widowed, had no intention of returning to the Tang Dynasty and lived here until her death in 680 AD.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > refused to return to Datang</h1>
After Songtsen Gampo's death, many small states began to invade Tibet again. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, considering Princess Wencheng's situation, immediately issued an edict to return her to the Tang Dynasty. To everyone's surprise, Princess Wencheng refused the request.
From her personal point of view, she came here with no intention of going back, and the 9 years of married life made her fall deeply in love with Songtsen Gampo. Now that her husband is gone, he will fulfill his last wish and guard here forever.
Driven by this psychology, Princess Wencheng began to be busy with her own "career". She led the local people to farming, weaving, female red, medicine, etc., and has long integrated the individual with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
As for the treatment of Princess Wencheng, after the death of Songzan Gampo, she became an ordinary woman, and even called her "Li Shi", which is recorded in the history of Tubo Zheng.
With the support of the people, Princess Wencheng became the leader of the Tubo religion, and it is said that she was responsible for receiving Master Xuanzhao on both trips to the west. With such a prerequisite, you can imagine how great her influence on the ground is.
Because she was loved by the people, Princess Wencheng was buried by the Tubo state after her death. Many places also built temples for her, burning incense for her every day, and approaching being "deified".
If you really want to use a sentence to describe, the author believes that it is just "marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog". If you come here, you are safe, not to mention that women are living reputations, why not let yourself leave a name in history?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
Princess Wencheng has been married to Songtsen Gampo for 9 years and has made too much effort. The happiness of the people who have left Tibet before they see the results must not be what their hearts want, and the real reason why they are always on the road is nothing more than that.
Finally, it ends with a poem written by netizens:
You are my hero, and I am not afraid to wait, even if there are still a few 40 years. I believe that one day, you will step on the colorful neon to marry me. You are the king of the snowy realm, called Songtsen Gampo. Don't forget my name, Princess Wencheng...
I'm Sokoto, thank you for reading.
