In the Princess of the Golden Princess, it is mentioned that the East Turke Khan Ashina Rangan asked for marriage to the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty asked the Turks to kill the Princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty before marrying the princess. Speaking ill of Qianjin to his brother Dulan Khan led to the death of Princess Qianjin.
After Princess Qianjin was killed, Emperor Wen Yang of Sui Dynasty married Princess Anyi to Tuli Khan in the 17th year of Emperor Kaihuang (597) and gave him a generous reward. Dulan Khan was extremely dissatisfied when he learned about it. As a great Khan, the Sui Dynasty did not marry him, but went to marry Tuli Khan, which was lower than himself. It was really annoying.
So Dulan Khan once again cut off the Sui Dynasty's tribute, and united with the Datou Khan of Western Turks to attack Tuli. Tuli was beaten all over, and many brothers, nephews and nephews were killed.
Under the guidance of the Sui Dynasty, the embarrassed sudden profit surrendered, and the Sui Dynasty named him Qimin Khan. At this time, Princess Anyi was dead, and Yang Jian married Princess Yicheng, daughter of Yang Xie, to Qi. Min, this year is the 19th year of Kaihuang (599).
Princess Yicheng's marriage journey has just started, she encountered a very dangerous crisis, it turned out that Dulan Khan heard that the Sui Dynasty married the princess to Tuli (Qimin) again, and was furious again , Sent troops to try to snatch Yicheng away on her way to marry, but fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time to resolve the crisis of grabbing relatives.
Princess Yicheng has a relatively strong personality. After marrying Qimin, she asked him to divorce her former wife Tuyuhunnu (the birth mother of Jieli Khan). Qimin was very loyal to the Sui Dynasty and feared the authority of the Sui Dynasty. So he divorced his ex-wife.
Although Qimin is old enough to be the grandfather of Yicheng Princess, because the Sui Dynasty was prosperous, Qimin himself was convinced by the Sui Dynasty and regarded Yang Jian as the "saint khan", so he was very good to Yicheng. Qimin was backed by the Sui Dynasty, and many tribes in the north belonged to him. Later, the Dulan Khan was killed and Qimin became the Great Khan of the East Turks.
About ten years (614) of the great cause, Qimin Khan passed away, and his son Ashina Duoji succeeded to the throne for Shibi Khan. He wrote to the Sui Dynasty and asked to continue marrying his aunt Yicheng princess. Approval of the Sui Dynasty.
Sibi Khan’s attitude towards the Sui Dynasty was different from his father. He was not willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and the growing strength of the East Turks also made the Sui government wary of the younger brother who wanted to entrust Shibi. Ji set up the southern khan and married his clan daughter to divide the East Turks.
But Chi Ji feared the authority of his brother Shibi, and rejected the temptation of the Sui Dynasty; the Sui Dynasty also trapped Shi Bi's favorite minister Shi Shu Huxi. Winning brothers and booby-trapping his favorite ministers made Shibi Khan resent the Sui Dynasty and stopped seeing Yang Guang.
In the second year (615), Shibi took advantage of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang’s parade in Beisai, and personally led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to plan an attack on Yang Guang’s car, and learned the news. Princess, sent an envoy to report the situation to Yang Guang in advance, so Yang Guang quickly withdrew to Yanmen.
Sibi then encircled Yanmen. At that time, the food in Yanmen City could only last for 20 days, but Shibi’s soldiers were in full force and the offensive was fierce. He even shot an arrow in front of Yang Guang and never encountered it. Yang Guang, who had been through this dangerous situation, was so scared that he held his youngest son Yang Gao and cried.
Xiao Yu proposed to send an envoy to notify Princess Yicheng, Yicheng hurriedly sent an envoy to Shibi and lied to Shibi that there was an emergency military situation in the north, and only after Sibi surrounded Yanmen for a month, did Shibi escape.
Although Shibi hated the Sui Dynasty, he maintained a high level of trust in Yicheng, not only let her know his plan of action, but also retreated because of his trust in Yicheng. Even if Yicheng lied to him and caused him to miss this good opportunity to attack the Sui Dynasty, he did not blame her, and still respected her as a Kedun.
In the late reign of the Great Khan of Shibi, the Sui Dynasty encountered the Jiangdu Palace Transformation. Yang Guang and the Sui Dynasty's direct clan were killed by the rebel Yu Culture and the Central Plains heroes also fell into a chaotic battle for supremacy.
In order to win over the powerful Turks, the separatist forces in the Central Plains were Li Yuan, Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Gui, Gao Kaidao, etc., although they all claimed kings. The emperor, but all vowed to the Great Khan of the East Turks, hoping to win Turkic support.
Shibi Khan died in the second year of Tang Wude (619), The younger brother Ashina Shelifu set up the successor to the Great Khan, which is for Chu Luo Khan. Chu Luo grew up in Daxing, the capital of Sui Dynasty (Tang Chang'an), and married Li, a relative of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Sui Dynasty has fallen, but Chuluo Khan loved Princess Yicheng very much. After he succeeded to the throne, he married his sister-in-law Yicheng Kehe Dun, and announced to the Tang court that he even wanted to revive the Sui Dynasty for Princess Yicheng towards. At that time, Li Yuan was also a minister to the East Turks, and Princess Yicheng could be said to be the mistress of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Yicheng who cared about her homeland has been inquiring about the whereabouts of Queen Xiao, Yang Guang’s wife. When she heard that Queen Xiao was detained at Dou Jiande, she immediately sent an envoy to ask for Queen Xiao and others. Dou Jiande was afraid of the Turks and was afraid to fail. He sent the heads of Empress Xiao and Yu Wenji to Turks.
Yicheng hangs the head of Yu Wenhua and the Turkic royal court to vent his anger and shame. He also persuaded Chuluo Khan to make Yang Guang’s grandson Yang Zhengdao the king of the Sui Dynasty, and he also handed over all the Central Plains people who remained in the East Turkic territory to Yang Zhengdao. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, this Sui Dynasty composed of tens of thousands of people The small court settled in Dingxiang and continued the lifeline of the Sui Dynasty for ten years.
It is a pity that Luo Khan who obeyed Princess Yicheng's words was too short-lived. He reigned for about a year, and died while preparing for Yicheng to attack the Tang Dynasty to restore the Sui Dynasty. When he was dying, he gave Princess Yicheng a decision. The power of a khan.
Due to the great chaos in the Central Plains, Princess Yicheng considered the complicated political situation, and the birth mother of Chuluo Khan’s son, Austria, was the Li Tang clan. Yicheng was deposed on the grounds of ugly appearance and short-sightedness. The Austrian shooting set did not stand, and the younger brother Ashina Duju, who stood by Roh Khan, was the successor of the Great Khan, the Jie Li Khan.
Although Jieli's mother was forced to divorce because of Princess Yicheng, Jieli trusted Princess Yicheng not only to marry her as Ko Ha Dun, but also attacked the Tang Dynasty many times under her persuasion. Although the Tang dynasty sent people to Lijian, trying to follow the old example of the Sui dynasty to deal with Princess Zhou Qianjin, it did not affect the status of Princess Yicheng. Instead, Princess Yicheng took advantage of her strength to separate Jieli and Aoshe. relationship.
In fact, the strength of the Turks was greatly weakened during the Sui Dynasty, and the Jie Li Khan got close to the Han people, changed the old customs, and encountered heavy snow and famines that were rare in a century. This led to civil strife in the Turks and some tribes did not join the Tang. The DPRK moved to the Western Regions, which narrowed the scope of the East Turks and weakened their strength.
Based on practical considerations, Jie Li’s attitude towards the Tang Dynasty has changed. When he was besieging Mayi, he planned to release Mayi and negotiate with the Tang dynasty, but because of the princess Yicheng Surely, Jie Li still changed his original intention, gave up peace talks with the Tang Dynasty, and captured Ma Yi.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was already strong and strong, sent troops to the Turks. The Turks were defeated, Jie Li Khan was captured, and the princess Yicheng, who lost the barrier, refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Princess Yicheng, who was killed by Li Jing and lived in Turk for more than 30 years, ended her ups and downs and magnificent life.
It can be said that Princess Yicheng is the most influential Chinese princess and the most influential in a foreign country. She married four Khan, and when her homeland was destroyed, she was still with her third husband. Still gaining a very high status and trust, and working hard to rejuvenate the homeland, this princess Yicheng, who is so cold and hearty, really shed the last drop of blood for her motherland.
