"The Strongest Player" explains why Wu Sangui let his widowed wife Princess Channing leave.

13 April, Kangxi ordered the execution of Wu and his son Wu Shilin. Wu Sangui's rebellion cost his son and grandson their lives and drove his daughter-in-law to the wall. That year, Princess Channing was only 33 years old!

Princess Channing, the youngest daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, was an unruly, overbearing and annoying person in the duke of mount deer. 1653, my younger brother Shunzhi chose Wu Sangui's son Wu as his own 14-year-old son and held a grand wedding with Wu. In this joke, Princess Channing escaped sharing her husband's ending with other women, but in fact, her life ended even more unfortunately. The root of all this lies in her father-in-law Wu Sangui. Why?

Wu Sangui is one of the most important figures in China's 5,000-year history. His behavior of leading the Qing soldiers into the customs dealt a heavy blow to the historical process of China. However, it was such a military commander who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty and held a high position in the Qing Dynasty, but ended his glorious life with a tragic ending. In fact, behind Wu Sangui's beheading, there is another person who is more painful than him, and that is Princess Channing. Why did the princess in the court suffer all her life because she was a leader? What's so mysterious about this? This must start with Princess Channing becoming Wu Sangui's daughter-in-law.

Since 1653 married Wu Sangui's son Wu, she has been very fond of her and her feelings are very harmonious. In the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is absolutely perfect, and one party is the captaincy who has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. On one side is the princess of the imperial court, and Wu naturally attracts everyone's attention. However, only Princess Channing knows the helplessness behind this superficial scenery. As her brother married Wu Sangui, she knew that her destiny was doomed to struggle between the imperial court and Wu Sangui. The relationship between the two is very good, and she will naturally have a good ending; Once the relationship between them deteriorates, she will definitely become a victim of the political struggle of the imperial court. But she was born in the royal family and had no choice but to accept this cruel reality silently. To her relief, during the eighteen years of her marriage with Wu, although there were frictions between the imperial court and Wu Sangui, they were generally harmonious and did not have much influence on her life. What really made her desperate was the deterioration of the relationship between the imperial court and Wu Sangui in 1670.

167 1 This year is Wu Sangui's 60th birthday. The court issued a special decree to allow Princess Ma Xu and their son Wu Shilin to go to Yunnan to celebrate their birthdays. This is of course good news for Wu and Wu Sangui, but it is a chore for me. Of course, she knows the real significance of the court allowing her to go to Yunnan to celebrate her father-in-law's birthday, which is called a birthday. In fact, she has a mission, which is to dispel doubts and let her father-in-law and the court reconcile. This shows that the court is deeply suspicious of Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui's existence in Yunnan-Guizhou for decades gave him the illusion that Yunnan-Guizhou belonged to his palace. In order to dispel the suspicion between him and the court, we must first dispel this illusion. Once Wu Sangui's fantasy is shattered, the consequences will be very light, which will cause his dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and may even lead to greater rebellion. With a nervous mood, He Xu finally entered Kunming, and the whole city was shrouded in a festive atmosphere. Mr. and Mrs. Wu Sangui and the princess led the local people to kneel on both sides of the road dozens of meters away from Wang Fu to welcome the princess and Ma Xu. The princess immediately got off to meet her in-laws.

Under the pressure of the royal court, Wu Sangui seems to be showing signs of loosening. 1673 In July, Wu Sangui took the initiative to ask the imperial court to withdraw its troops from San Francisco. Although Emperor Kangxi knew that it was only intentional, but this opportunity was rare, he accepted his request and immediately sent people to Yunnan and Guizhou to discuss with Wu Sangui about withdrawing troops from San Francisco. After hearing the news, Princess Channing finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her view, as long as the father-in-law can bring his family and subordinates back to Jinzhou according to the arrangement of the court, everything will be fine and the problems that have been entangled in her heart will be completely solved. So she looked at the empty southern sky day by day and looked forward to her father-in-law's arrival. On February 2 1 65438 of the same year, I finally heard the news of my father-in-law, but the news was like a bolt from the blue, which completely shattered Princess Channing's dream of a happy family: Wu Sangui detained Zalkin and Fu Dali, who were sent by the imperial court to discuss the withdrawal of vassals, and killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan. According to the Yunnan rebellion, he claimed that the army and generals were recruited all over the world, and his hair was easy to wear. His year number is "Zhou", and the following year is the first year of Zhaowu. Obviously, with Wu Sangui's rebellion, her marriage with Wu obviously came to an end.

13 April, Kangxi ordered the execution of Wu and his son Wu Shilin. Wu Sangui's rebellion cost his son and grandson their lives and drove his daughter-in-law to the wall. At the age of 33, Princess Channing lost her husband and son and became a widow. During Princess Channing's 30-year lonely life, Emperor Kangxi sent many letters to comfort his aunt who was seriously injured in the Wu Sangui Uprising, but how can a letter make up for the loss of her husband and son?
