What did you think of when Zhaojun left the fortress?

The Power of the Han Empire

Many people think that the Han Dynasty made peace with the Huns only in humiliation. In fact, at this time, the Han Dynasty was already at an absolute advantage in making peace with the Huns. There is a saying that everyone knows: "If a strong man offends me, he will be killed no matter how far away!" This sentence is exactly what Chen Tang said in the battle report sent to Emperor Han Yuan when he killed the Xiongnu Zhizhi Chanyu in the Western Regions. Words, that is to say, such heroic words were shouted out during the reign of Emperor Han Yuan! At this time, the Han Dynasty was determined to destroy anyone at its own risk (in fact, except for the first few years of the Han Dynasty when it had no choice but to do so in the later four hundred years, the Han Dynasty always destroyed others at its own risk).

Seeing that the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu, who was against the Han Dynasty, was chased thousands of miles away by the Han army, even crossing the plateau and desert, he was finally killed by a click, and his head was cut off and flew to Chang'an. The countries in the Western Regions and the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu were frightened when they saw this. The Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu was very sensible and immediately went to the dynasty to see the emperor of the Han Empire at that time, Emperor Han Yuan, and expressed his willingness to surrender. Emperor Han Yuan received the Shanyu with the etiquette of the imperial princes, which meant that from this time on, the Xiongnu officially merged into the Han Dynasty. , existed as a vassal state in the Han Empire!

At this time, Shan Yu made a small request. He hoped to be the son-in-law (consort) of the Han Dynasty and be friendly for generations. This request was undoubtedly difficult for the Han Dynasty to refuse, since they were all their own. Well, this request is not too much! According to convention, the Han Dynasty should choose a princess (and then make it a princess, the Han Dynasty never married a real princess), but this time Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was too lazy to do so, so he selected 5 from the harem. The maids rewarded the Xiongnu Chanyu, among whom Wang Zhaojun volunteered and was the most beautiful. Emperor Han Yuan first made her a princess, and then gave her the title of "Ninghu" (Ninghu means pacifying and stabilizing the Hu land). , the Huns called the queen), this behavior of the Han Dynasty also showed a kind of imperial majesty. Even if a woman of the Han Dynasty marries a palace maid, as long as she is canonized by the Han Dynasty, she must be at the queen level, and her possessions are absolutely legal. Sex, this is much more dignified than many Chinese women sticking to foreigners’ buttocks now! This kind of behavior is just like the imperial court in later generations canonizing the spouses of ministers as "Mrs. Yipingaoming".

The next step is Zhaojun leaving the fortress. Everyone is familiar with it. It is the emotion of leaving home that the TV series exaggerates, the wilderness of the north, and the bleak atmosphere and weather! After all, no one feels comfortable leaving home, but exaggeration is exaggeration, but there is no need to belittle the Han Dynasty so much. The Han Dynasty, which was in an absolute advantage at the time, seemed to have been defeated and had to give away women! It’s okay if the director has no national self-respect, but he demeans himself and makes people laugh!

This woman was so courageous and was praised by people of her time! And the Huns people also respect and love this Han queen very much! Zhaojun's departure from the Great Wall was rumored to be a good story, and with the added embarrassment of later generations, she became a legendary woman!
