There are many princesses in history. Why is Princess Wencheng so famous?

Speaking of princesses and relatives in history, everyone will definitely think of Princess Wencheng, who married Tubo Zampson Zagambo and contributed to the communication between China and Tibet.

But in fact, Princess Wencheng is not a real princess, but the daughter of Li Tang's imperial clan prince. Who is Princess Wencheng's father? There is no clear record in history. According to unofficial history's anecdote, it is likely to be Tang Taizong's cousin, Li Daozong (later renamed Jiangxia King). Princess Wusun before Princess Wencheng, Princess You Jie, other Han princesses who married the Huns, and Princess Jincheng after Princess Wencheng were all women from imperial families, while Wang Zhaojun, who was an equal with Princess Wencheng, was just a maid-in-waiting who had nothing to do with the royal family.

As the supreme emperor in the world, neither the Han emperor nor the Tang emperor wants to let his daughter marry in a barbarian land to complete her pro-mission unless absolutely necessary. However, Tang Suzong Hengli unfortunately encountered such a special situation.

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the rebels from An Lushan rushed in unexpectedly and soon arrived at the gates of Chang 'an. Tang Xuanzong was so scared that he went to Chengdu, Sichuan to raise cats. He left the mess to Prince Hengli to clean up, and Hengli hurried to the throne in the war. This is Tang Suzong in history.

In order to defeat the rebels in An Lushan, Tang Suzong accepted the advice of Guo Ziyi, a famous soldier, and turned to Uighurs who were good at riding and shooting for help. The Uighurs were very brave and immediately sent cavalry troops to help Tang Jun fight back the rebellion. With the help of Uighur, Guo Ziyi led Tang Jun to repel the rebels in An Lushan and recapture the capital Chang 'an.

Although Chang 'an has been recovered, a large area of land east of Hanguguan is still in the hands of the rebels. As a king of a country, Tang Suzong still feels burdened and uncomfortable. In order to maintain a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship with Uighur, and let them continue to help Tang Jun attack the rebels to recover lost territory, Tang Suzong had to agree to the request of Uighur Wu Ying Khan at the thank-you meeting, and agreed to marry his daughter Princess Ningguo to Uighur relatives.

Tang Suzong didn't find a woman from the imperial clan of Li Tang to marry Uighur instead of the real princess, because Wu Ying Khan was in Chang 'an at that time, so it was not convenient to cheat in front of others, and he didn't stand up and be brave. Second, the Datang was not the Datang of that year. The national luck was not prosperous and the national disaster was imminent. Even if he had that idea, he didn't have the courage. Under this special circumstance, Princess Ningguo became the first real princess in history.

Princess Ningguo is the second daughter of Tang Suzong. She lost her mother when she was a child. When she grew up, she married Zheng Xun, a famous family, and became a widow in a few days. Now she is facing the tragedy of being far away from her relatives and marrying a foreign country, because she is at marriageable age.

Tang Suzong certainly knew that the second daughter of bad karma was about to become an innocent victim of cruel politics. As a father, his heart is full of guilt and pain.

At the farewell banquet of Where Are You Going, Tang Suzong and Princess Ningguo's father and daughter "held hands and looked at each other with tears, but wept without words", even if the stone man was present, they would burst into tears. At the moment of parting, Princess Ningguo showed a deep understanding of righteousness, and she was soft outside and rigid inside. She comforted her father and said: "The country is important, and there is no hate in death!" Then, resolutely turned around and followed Wu Ying Khan to the vast Mobei grassland.

Uighur nobles and people heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, known as "Tiankhan", married his daughter to the Uighur grassland. They were all in high spirits and infinite glory, and they rushed to tell each other: "The son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty is precious, and there will be real girls coming." Princess Ningguo and the pro-Uighur were told stories.

However, Princess Ningguo is really an unfortunate woman. Just one year after she became a "Kedun" (Uighur, meaning Queen), her husband Wu Ying Khan died at a celebration dinner. The son of Wu Ying Khan succeeded to the throne of Khan, which was called Yingyi Khan in history. Khan was not friendly enough to the Tang Dynasty. As soon as he came to power, he made extremely cruel demands on Princess Ningguo.

According to the custom and system of Uighur, Hatton, who has no son, should be buried with the dead Khan. Princess Ningguo conforms to this situation. So, Khan won the clothes and asked Princess Ningguo to do as the Romans do and be buried with Lao Khan.

Princess Ningguo, an aristocratic woman from Shang and Tang Dynasties, resolutely refused to follow the barbaric customs of Uighur. At the critical moment, she gave a stern and eloquent cry: "I studied law in China, and my husband died, which means I mourned and cried day and night. I served for three years. The woman married in Uighur today must admire China. If you follow today's domestic laws, why does Wan Li want to get married? " Khan and Uighur nobles were temporarily speechless.

At this time, Tang Suzong sent a condolence group to Wu Ying Khan. Although the envoys of the Tang Dynasty tried their best to protect Princess Ningguo from harm, they were alone in a foreign country, and finally had to agree to the compromise of Yingyi Khan-let Princess Ningguo be disfigured instead of buried with her.

In desperation, Princess Ningguo, full of grief and indignation, picked up a sword with cold light and sparkled with trembling hands, closed her eyes, endured great pain, and drew a blood mark on her youthful and white cheek with the tip of the knife. Thinking of her humiliating and bitter life experience, Princess Ningguo could not help but burst into tears. The scarred Princess Ningguo is so eager to follow the envoys of the Tang Dynasty back to Chang 'an, and she misses Chang 'an so much. However, without the imperial edict, she could not return to China, and even with the imperial edict of Tang Suzong, the Uighurs did not necessarily agree to her leaving the grassland.

Fortunately for Princess Ningguo, Tang Suzong, at the entreaty of her daughter, changed the previous practice of the emperor asking for a kiss on the "princess", followed the custom of Alakazam, and sent someone to take her back to Chang 'an, the capital, from the Uighur grassland. In order to make her daughter forget the painful memories of the past, Tang Suzong replaced Princess Ningguo with Princess Xiaoguo and found her a famous husband named Xue Kangheng. Princess Ningguo went through a lot of hardships and finally had a happy life.

Princess Ningguo, as the emperor's own daughter, finally achieved perfection through hard work. Princess Guo Xiaoning, the royal woman who accompanied her to marry Wu Ying Khan, was not so lucky. Because Princess Xiao Ningguo was not a "real girl" of the Tang Dynasty emperor, and she gave birth to a son to Wu Ying Khan, the Uighurs resolutely refused to let her go back to the Tang Dynasty, and forced her to marry the son of Wu Ying Khan according to the Uighur custom. The newly established Ying Yi Khan was even more tragic. Later, Ying Yi Khan was killed by political enemies, and both sons of Princess Xiao Ningguo were killed, becoming as heartless as their mother.
