"It's really heart-warming, Zi Tong, it seems that after a while, we will be preparing for a happy event! This is really God's blessing, I didn't expect the war in the south to end so soon, and it was still resolved in the most peaceful way. Really no Thinking about it, Brother Cheng is so capable that he can convince the King of Southern Border to surrender!" "The so-called peaceful way is marriage?" Liu Pingting frowned. "Yes! But...it's different this time!" Apart from joy, Shui Jing's eyes also shone with mysterious light.

The so-called "reconciliation" means that two opposing nations stop fighting, put aside their enmity, and instead establish a peaceful, friendly, and amity relationship. A form of ethnic relations stipulated (oral or written).

In the Western Han Dynasty, in order to ease the relationship between the Han and the Huns, he married the daughter of the clan and the Shanyu of the Huns.That's why Zhaojun went out of the fortress.In the Tang Dynasty, in order to achieve the goal of "using barbarians to control barbarians", the king made Turkic aristocrats into the royal family through kinship with Turks, treated them preferentially, and took advantage of their familiarity with their own nation to give them official titles and titles, so as to achieve the goal of Turkic aristocrats. rule.

Judging from the effect of the marriage, there are successes and failures.In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu's iron cavalry stepped into northern Hebei, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and the Hetao area of ​​Inner Mongolia. Wherever they went, they trampled on crops, robbed property, and plundered people. The rule of the political power also destroyed the production culture and hindered the development of society. Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty, whose national strength was still very weak at that time, could only maintain the temporary peace of the border by making peace with the Xiongnu. After paying a high price, the desired effect was still not achieved. Instead, the Xiongnu nobles were able to live in luxury and luxury, which fueled their greed. Therefore, the marriage marriage in the early Western Han Dynasty generally failed.After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national power of the Western Han Dynasty increased, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu twice. From then on, "there is no royal court in the south of the desert". In 70 BC, Hu Hanxie was attached to the Han Dynasty. I wish to be the son-in-law of the Han family, so the historical event "Zhaojun goes out of the fortress" is staged. In the decades after Zhaojun went out of the fortress, the Han and Hungarian families have maintained a friendly and harmonious relationship. Therefore, the marriage at the end of the Western Han Dynasty is a success. of.

In terms of economy, during the marriage process, activities such as paying dowry gifts, tributes, rewards and related exchanges are very frequent, which will inevitably promote the development of official trade and the economy of both parties. The married princess also took away advanced Production technology, production tools, production craftsmen, crops, rice seeds, agricultural implements, etc., have provided conditions for the agricultural development of the northern minorities, supplemented their single and fragile herding and hunting economy, and promoted the northern minorities from a nomadic economy to a settled economy. The transformation has shortened the gap in production and life between the northern minorities and the Han.The animal husbandry economy of the ethnic minorities in the north, such as horse breeding technology and horse industry, enriched and enriched the economy of the Central Plains.

In terms of culture, the influence of marriage is two-way. What the princess brings is not only rich wealth, but also the cultural influence of the Central Plains.Individually speaking, Princess Heqin is a typical example of the integration of Han culture and minority culture. Although Princess Heqin has been educated in traditional Han culture, her lifestyle after marriage is still "following Hu customs".Judging from the influence of the culture of the Central Plains Dynasty by the culture of the northern peoples, in the art of stone carvings of the Han Dynasty, many stone carvings influenced by the themes and styles of the Xiongnu’s nomadic life can be found. The giant stone carvings show that Hu Hanxie promoted the cultural exchange and connection between the Han and Hungarian people after Fuhan and Zhaojun went out of the fortress.Judging from the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty on the ethnic minorities, in the Tang Dynasty Princess Jiaohe had preached to Du Jin, the governor of Anxi, which shows that the religion was influenced by Princess Heqin.

From the perspective of blood relationship and ethnic integration, the descendants of Heqin Princess and minority kings not only retained the characteristics of northern nomads, but also integrated Han blood, improving the population quality; in general, the process of Heqin strengthened the two The exchanges between the two ethnic groups will inevitably lead to the marriage between the common people, and thus will promote the blood fusion between the two ethnic groups, eliminate the barriers between the ethnic groups, and strengthen the cohesion between the Han and the northern ethnic groups.

"Since it's a marriage, what's the difference?" Liu Pingting was puzzled. "This time, Brother Cheng came back with the eldest prince Yin Yuehua of the King of Southern Border and the adopted daughter of the King of Southern Border—Princess Mingyue. Brother Cheng said in the letter that this time the Southern Border could end so successfully. In fact, it is all the credit of Princess Mingyue. It is because she tried her best to persuade the king of Nanjiang that things went so smoothly. The king of Nanjiang sent the eldest prince and princess to our court this time. One is that the two sides can negotiate peace talks; The second thing is to get married... The eldest prince will choose a concubine in my court, and the princess will also choose a concubine in my court...!" Shui Jing couldn't close her mouth with joy when she said this. "Since that's the case, does the emperor have a plan in mind?!" Liu Pingting laughed. "It's easy for the eldest prince to choose a concubine, it depends on whether he wants to choose among princes and nobles, or among the people!" "It's just that it's a bit difficult for the princess to choose a concubine." Shui Jing smiled helplessly. "Then what is the origin of Princess Mingyue?" Liu Pingting became interested. "It is said that Princess Mingyue was born with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance. She was originally the biological daughter of Feng Zhiyuan, the minister of Nanjiang. King Jiang's favorite, so I specially named her Princess Mingyue, treating her as his own. This Princess Mingyue is very special, not only has outstanding appearance, but also has both civil and military skills, she is quite courageous, and she has the air of a heroine!"

"In this way, is it possible that we are going to have a martial arts competition for the princess? Just like sister Yu'er did back then?!" Liu Pingting's eyes widened. "It's hard to say, that's why I'm in a bit of trouble!" "Actually, my concubine doesn't think it's that difficult! At that time, the emperor might as well issue a decree, whether it's the children of the royal family or the family of officials, as long as they are Single men can participate in the selection. Although Princess Mingyue is a foreigner, she is also a man of gold and jade leaves, with both talents and looks. As long as the news is released, the courtiers believe that my court is full of talents, and the princess will definitely meet a wishful man Jun." "That's a good way." "By the way, I don't know if the princess will get married in my court or return to southern Xinjiang?!" "After the princess chooses her son-in-law, she will go back to southern Xinjiang with her son-in-law to get married! Prince After choosing the concubine, I will hold a wedding now, and then go back together with the concubine, and we will have a big wedding in Nanjiang. The king of Nanjiang means that after the eldest prince gets married, he will immediately give up his seat to him, and he will be the princess himself. King." "So, then this future princess is very likely to be the future queen of Southern Xinjiang!" "Of course! So, the choice of this princess is very important, this princess must have Only with virtue and good looks can you be worthy of great responsibility!"
