At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Everyone sympathized with Wang Zhaojun's situation. It was already good that she took the initiative to marry, but in the end she still had to follow the customs of the barbarians.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: Senior Zhaojun was indeed too pitiful.

In this world, people are lenient to men but very strict to women. The Tang Dynasty is relatively good to women.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty: This is the kind of thing we cannot stand the most. We should just be like our Great Ming Dynasty, with no marriage alliances, no tributes, and no cession of territory. Our Great Ming Dynasty is still the best.

Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di: Father is right!

Crown Prince Zhu Biao: Father is right.

Daming: ...

This was followed by many responses from other people in the Ming Dynasty.

As for other dynasties, except for the Qin Dynasty, no one dared to say anything. After all, their marriage alliance was real, the cession of territory was real, and the tribute of royal tribute was real. They were really powerless to refute this point. It must be said that they indeed overestimated the Ming Dynasty on this point.

"I think there are still many people who don't understand the customs of the Huns, really," Li Wu said with a look of disgust. Anyway, she couldn't understand it.

"The Xiongnu custom is to marry the mother after the father's death, and to marry the sister-in-law after the brother's death. This is very difficult for us Han people to accept. So when Emperor Cheng of Han wrote back to ask Senior Zhaojun to follow the Xiongnu custom, he couldn't believe how devastated and sad she was," Li Wu shook his head and sighed.

Barrage

Ming people: What? Marrying the mother after the father's death? This is unethical. The Huns are indeed the Huns. They really don't care about ethics.

Especially those pedantic Confucianists of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they no longer cared about their face and started to insult.

Wang Zhaojun smiled. She was indeed feeling uncomfortable and even thought about not wanting to live anymore. How could she accept this?

However, she later obeyed the order of Emperor Cheng of Han and followed the customs of the Hu people.

How ridiculous it is to continue marrying your nominal eldest son.

"Senior Zhaojun obeyed the order of Emperor Cheng of Han and married again to Fujulei, the eldest son of Huhanye Chanyu. We people in the Central Plains are the most polite. So I think Senior Zhaojun was unhappy during the years she lived with Fujulei Chanyu. She must have been unhappy to marry into the Xiongnu. But for the sake of justice in her heart and for the sake of the Han Dynasty, she resolutely asked to enter the frontier. How rare and precious it is," Li Wu shook his head and sighed.

Wang Zhaojun smiled bitterly and ate a grape. It was very sweet, but why did she feel a sour taste when she ate it? The sourness reached her heart and made her want to cry.

Li Wu handed her a tissue again and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Later, Wang Zhaojun listened to the words of Emperor Cheng of Han, and lived with Fuzhulei Chanyu for eleven years and gave birth to two daughters. After Fuzhulei Chanyu died, Wang Zhaojun's heart was full of expectations. What expectations were she? Naturally, the expectation of being able to return to the Han Dynasty," Li Wu paused here, and Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but look up at him. Is it true?

Can she go back?

She hoped that the Han Dynasty would send someone to pick her up and that the emperor would agree to let her go back.

Barrage

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Well, I think Wang Zhaojun will be disappointed.

If she wasn't allowed to go back the first time, how could she be allowed to go back later? Besides, this big guy is not that good, and he even wants to marry her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: You won’t really not let anyone go back, right?

Emperor Wu of Han was a little annoyed. How could these younger generations be like this?

After hearing this, the women burst into tears. They felt that Wang Zhaojun was so miserable. They wondered how she had the courage to ask for marriage. If it were them, they would definitely not have the courage.

Not to mention that she later married her nominal son, which they could never accept. It would be better for them to die.

The same is true for men, but no one dared to criticize Wang Zhaojun, for they would be scolded to death.

Li Wu saw Wang Zhaojun's eyes full of expectation and couldn't bear to look at her. He was afraid that he would disappoint Senior Zhaojun again.

“However, there are several versions in history. It is said that you, Wang Zhaojun, wrote another letter back to the Han Dynasty, requesting to go back, but was rejected. You were told four words in return: ‘Return to the barbarian customs.’” When Li Wu said this, Wang Zhaojun cried silently. She should have thought of this earlier. She should have thought of this earlier.

"However, there is another version, which is that Senior Zhaojun did not write a letter back to the Han Dynasty, but instead married the next Chanyu again in accordance with the customs of the grassland, that is, Fuzhulei Chanyu's younger brother, Souxieruodi Chanyu. Some also say that the third Chanyu was actually Fuzhulei Chanyu's son, but we really don't know who he was," Li Wu shook his head. After all, this period of history was too long ago, and Wang Zhaojun was a woman, far away outside the Great Wall, so it was naturally impossible to write it so clearly.

Wang Zhaojun was crying and laughing, so she still couldn't return to the Han Dynasty?

Can’t go back to your hometown?

"Two years later, Wang Zhaojun, who was only 36 years old, passed away due to illness. Perhaps she could not bear such great pressure, or she missed Han too much," Li Wu sighed. She couldn't believe how much pressure Wang Zhaojun was under to live on the grassland.

When Wang Zhaojun heard that she would die at the age of 36, she did not react much, thinking that it was better to die early.

Barrage

Li Qingzhao, Yi'an Jushi: What a pitiful woman! Husband, why don't you take her back quickly?

Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty: Emperor of the Han Dynasty, please quickly bring Senior Zhaojun back to the Han Dynasty. It would be fine if you just let a woman marry him, but you are still following the barbarian customs and don't take women seriously, right?

Empress Wu Zetian: Oh, those men have been used to being superior since childhood. How could they take women seriously? They think it is a great deal to exchange a woman for peace.

Many women appeared in the barrage to speak for Wang Zhaojun, demanding that she be allowed to go back. She had done enough for the Han Dynasty, and she could not be allowed to die on the cold grassland this time.

"Senior Zhaojun, would you like to hear about your achievements?" Li Wu asked.

Wang Zhaojun was stunned for a moment, "Merit, achievement?" She has achievements? She is just a woman, how can she have achievements?

"Of course, Senior Zhaojun's achievements are no small matter. After your marriage, you ended the Hundred Years' War between Han and Xiongnu and maintained long-term peace between the two nations. Since your marriage, there have obviously been fewer wars between the Han and Xiongnu, so this is the credit you have brought to the people living in the border areas of the Han Dynasty," Li Wu looked at her with bright eyes.

Wang Zhaojun blushed at the passionate look.

Did she do so much?

In the barrage, all the border people, soldiers, etc. were thanking Wang Zhaojun, and the whole screen was full of thank you.

No wonder the Huns have rarely come to rob them in recent years. It turns out that it is all thanks to Princess Zhaojun.

It was so pitiful that such a pretty little girl had to marry the brutal Huns for their sake.

The people living in the border areas hated the Huns so much that they would never commit themselves to such hateful people, let alone marrying them.

"Also, you promoted the progress of Xiongnu civilization, deepened the unity between the Han and Xiongnu peoples, and accelerated the integration of the nations. Even now, there is your mausoleum and your stone statue on the grassland."
