Women born in the imperial family, although they are princesses and grow up with gold and jade, most of them bear political responsibilities, and sometimes even relate to the survival of the entire empire. There are many character settings set in the current film and television works with historical figures as the background, such as Heng Jiao in the previous fire in "Ruyi Zhuan", Lan Qi'er in "Kangxi Dynasty", etc., all of which are for the purpose of stabilizing politics and marrying far.

In fact, the earliest can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, also known as Herong and Hefan, which was originally a kind of political marriage between the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty and foreign tribes or foreign countries for various purposes. This situation was common in all dynasties except the Ming Dynasty in history, reaching its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Here we talk about the famous princesses in history.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > Princess Xiaojun</h1>
Liu Xijun (劉細君), the daughter of Emperor Liu Che of the Western Han Dynasty, was the daughter of Liu Jian, the prince of Jiangdu, the nephew of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after being attacked by Wei Qing and Huo Qi, the Xiongnu fled to the north of the desert. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted a roundabout tactic, actively opened up the western region, implemented the strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack", and united the countries in the western region to attack the Xiongnu. The powerful State of Wusun became the main target of the Han Dynasty.
In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (105 BC), Emperor Wu of Han sent emissaries to the state of Wusun to fight against the Xiongnu, and the king of Wusun was willing to intermarry with the Han. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu Xijun a princess, and a pro-Wusun, the right lady of the hunt. However, the Xiongnu Shan Yu also tried his best to woo Wusun, and Kun Mo hunted arrogantly under pressure and married a Xiongnu princess as Lady Zuo. Princess Xiaojun's status was below that of the Xiongnu Princess Zuo.
Two years later, Kun Mo fell ill, and since his son was dead, he was succeeded to the throne by his grandson Cen Junjun Xu Jing. According to local custom, children and grandchildren are required to inherit their grandfather's wives and concubines. Princess Xiaojun could not accept this, and asked Emperor Wu of Han to return to the country, and Emperor Wu of Han replied: "In its country, from its customs." In desperation, Princess Xiaojun had to bear the humiliation and remarry Cen Junsu. Three years later, Xiaojun gave birth to a daughter for Cen Qi, and finally died of grief soon after due to postpartum disorders and difficulty in his heart.

After the death of Princess Xiaojun, in order to consolidate his alliance with Wusun, Emperor Wu of Han made Liu Xieyou, a princess after the sinners, in the fourth year of the first month (101 BC), and married Cen Junsu Jing as the right lady, still below the Xiongnu princess Zuo Lady.
After the violent death of junsu Jing, the throne was inherited by his brother Weng Guijing, and according to the custom, Weng Guijing married to relieve his worries. Due to their similar temperaments, XieYou and Weng Guijing were unusually in love, and gave birth to three princes, Yuan Guijing, Wannian and Dale. Weng Guijing was attentive to the relief of worries and obeyed his words, thus also bringing the Han court closer to the state of Wusun, and the messengers of the two sides continued to go.
Later, Weng Guijing fell ill and returned the throne to Ni Jing, the son of Junsu Jing, and then married Ni Jing. Later, the Wusun royal family was in civil strife, and the Han Dynasty sent troops into Wusun to intervene militarily, quelling the civil unrest, and relieving the eldest son Yuan Guijing to become a great king.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > Princess Wencheng</h1>
Princess Wencheng, tang dynasty imperial daughter, Han chinese. In the fourteenth year of Emperor Taizong's reign (640), Emperor Taizong Li Shimin made her Princess Wencheng, and in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan (641), Princess Wencheng married Tubo and became the queen of Tubo Zampu Songzan Gampo.
In the previous primary school textbook, there was also a text called "Princess Wencheng Enters Tibet". In 640, after tubo courted for his relatives many times, after a series of tests, Emperor Taizong of Tang finally agreed to marry his daughter Princess Wencheng. Princess Wencheng received a rich dowry, as well as seeds of grains, fruits, vegetables, medicinal herbs, silkworm seeds, and also brought a large number of books on medicine, tree planting, engineering technology, astronomical calendars, and many craftsmen to promote the development of Tibet at that time.
Princess Wencheng lived in Tibet for forty years and made great contributions to the friendly ties between the Han and Tibetan peoples and the development of Tibetan economy and culture. To this day, statues of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng are still enshrined in the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, and her relatives have become a good story that has been passed down through the ages.
In the Han regime after the Tang Dynasty, many princesses and harems and noble daughters of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties were plundered and did not belong to the scope of peace and relatives; the "Sayings of the East Valley" written by Ao Ying in the Ming Dynasty had clouds: The dignity of our dynasty's national power, surpassing the ancient past, its driving of the northern and western provinces, no Han and relatives, no Tang alliance, no Song dynasty coins, and no brotherly enemy country gifts, and when they come to pay tribute, they are treated with grace. This also led to later discord, non-tribute, non-submission, and non-cession of land.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > Princess of the Kingdom of Qiguo</h1>
Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing are the same, there are many political marriages, which are relatively common, including Genghis Khan's daughters also have records of peace, and Genghis Khan's queen is also politically married.
At that time, when the Princess of the Golden Kingdom of Qiguo came to the steppe, the Mongols were very happy, because their Great Khan married the daughter of the original suzerainty emperor, and this princess also respected the Great Khan and also respected the various customs of the Mongols, so everyone in Mongolia honored the Princess of qiguo as "Princess Empress".
Soon, princess Qiguo was crowned empress by Genghis Khan, and was also a nation that was good at riding and shooting, and Princess Qiguo had been following Genghis Khan in the southern and northern wars, which showed that this princess was also a woman with outstanding ability and good fighting. At that time, the western regions and Central Asian countries, various tribes, and large areas of West Asia were conquered by Genghis Khan, and according to customs and etiquette, they all called the princess of Qiguo and Genghis Khan together, and the princess of Qiguo at that time was as famous as Genghis Khan. This is an honor that princesses of previous dynasties and dynasties have not enjoyed.
