Who is the Princess Lanling in history?

Princess Lanling, the wife of Gao Changgong, a military commander in Northern Qi Dynasty, was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.

According to historical records, the real Princess Zheng in Gao Changgong should be Princess Lanling. As for her life experience, it is not clear at present, but most people think that this princess surnamed Zheng comes from the famous Zheng family in Xingyang.

The Zheng family in Xingyang was a famous family in northern China from Han Dynasty to Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cui Shi in Boling, Lee in Longxi, Lee in Zhaojun, Lushi in Fanyang, Cui Shi in Qinghe and Wang in Taiyuan were called five surnames and seven families.

Zheng's ancestors in Xingyang can be traced back to Zheng, when Zheng was enfeoffed. After the empire was destroyed, Zheng was still the surname and Xingyang, his hometown, was the county. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others of the Zheng family began to develop into famous families. After entering the Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family was still a noble family, but its influence gradually declined due to the implementation of the imperial examination system, but it was still the most prominent Zheng family in the world.

The Zheng family in Xingyang originated from Zheng, a great official in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Zheng Xing and Zheng Zhong were both famous Confucian scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zheng Hun was the famous minister of Wei Jun and Shangdang Taishou in Cao Wei, Zheng Tai was the famous minister of Yangzhou in the late Han Dynasty, Zheng Chong was the founding father of Taifu in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Zheng Mao was the famous minister of Miling in the early Western Jin Dynasty. Zheng Maozi and Sun IV were all important ministers in the Western Jin Dynasty. Zheng Hun's eighth son Zheng Xi was a calligrapher in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Zheng Xi's son Dao Zhao was a northern calligrapher in Yanzhou. Zheng's six brothers were all important officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yan Zheng officials to the Secretariat of the Central Committee and other more than a dozen positions, famous all over the world. Zheng Xiaomu is the grandson of Zheng Hunxi, the minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Kevin Z is the Duke of Xiangcheng, General Long Xiang and the chief commander of Jiangling in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Zheng, his son, was translated into a doctor in the history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He helped Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty to establish the Sui Dynasty, and was appointed as Pei Guogong and secretariat. Zheng Ziyi, Zheng Yuanbu, an official in Sui and Tang Dynasties, worshipped Hong Heqing. Zheng Yuan's cousin, Zheng, served as Minister of Ministry of War, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Ministry of Industry in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and died in Jiangzhou Secretariat. In the Tang Dynasty, there were eleven prime ministers in Xingyang, and the rest of the time, there were generals, Sima and the army. As a famous family, the Zheng family in Xingyang married the warrior Lanling, which is a suitable match. However, due to the long history, historical materials did not leave a portrait or more detailed information of this lucky woman marrying a handsome man. We can only guess through the clouds of history that this woman who married a handsome prince should also have a stunning appearance. When she heard that she was going to marry a world-famous handsome prince, was she as excited as every girl who was going to marry her sweetheart? Not surprisingly, this girl Zheng must be the envy of girls all over the country. The soldier Lan Ling and her marriage must have broken many girls' hearts.
