Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-29

In 115 BC, the 43-year-old princess Pingyang married for the third time, and this time her husband was the general Wei Qing. On the wedding night, Wei Qing was drunk and staggered, and when she walked into the cave room, Princess Pingyang asked, "Does your husband still remember me?"Wei Qing pounced on his knees and said, "Wei Qing greets the master!."”

It turned out that since Wei Qing left Pingyang Mansion, he has been fighting against the Huns, and Princess Pingyang gave him the impression that he was still young.

At that time, Wei Qing's stepmother treated him very badly, and his brother often punched and kicked him, so in desperation, he returned to his biological mother and became a riding slave in Pingyang Mansion.

At that time, Princess Pingyang was already the wife of Pingyang Hou Cao Shou and gave birth to a son Cao Xiang.

Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came back from the sacrifice and went to Pingyang Mansion to visit his sister Princess Pingyang, where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell in love with Wei Zifu, the sister of Wei Qing, a singer in the palace, and pampered her.

Two years later, Wei Zifu gave birth to a child for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu was able to favor the harem, and Wei Qing was also called to Jianzhang Palace as a servant. Since then, Wei Qing has never seen Princess Pingyang again.

Because Wei Qing was kind-hearted, intelligent and capable, and had a unique insight in the deployment of troops, he was quite appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In 129 BC, the Xiongnu marched south, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly ordered Wei Qing to be the general of the chariot cavalry, and Li Guang and others met the Xiongnu.

Wei Qing led 10,000 cavalry, whipped his hooves, and defeated the Huns. He pursued all the way until Longcheng, killed and captured more than 700 Xiongnu, and then returned from his horse.

This battle, breaking the myth of "the invincibility of the Huns", greatly contributed to the prestige of the Han Dynasty, the war of the Han Dynasty against the Huns, from this battle, opened the prelude to victory, Wei Qing was named the Marquis of Guannei.

Later, Wei Qing fought the enemy in Yanmen, recovered Heshuo, leveled Monan, and fought so that the Huns did not dare to attack, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named him Changping Hou, a general.

Wei Qing successfully counterattacked with his character and military exploits, and became a famous hero.

Just when Wei Qing overcame obstacles for the Han Dynasty and bravely defeated the Huns, Princess Pingyang suffered the pain of losing her husband twice.

The first husband was Cao Shou, a descendant of Cao Shen.

Originally, the two of them were kind and lived a comfortable life, but Cao Shou was a weak and sick person, and he died within a few years.

Princess Pingyang was in her youth and could not be widowed all the time, so she married Xiahou Bao, the grandson of Xiahou Ying.

However, Xiahou is quite a cowardly person, and he actually did the ugly thing of fornicating with his concubine. After the matter was revealed, he knew that the death penalty was inevitable, so he committed suicide in fear of the crime.

After losing her husband twice, her son Cao Xiang also died of illness, and Princess Pingyang lived a lost and dull life.

When Princess Pingyang saw Wei Qing returning triumphantly, he was tall and mighty, full of manliness, who could resist such a hero?So, the idea of remarrying began to germinate in her heart. After inquiring again, she couldn't help but be secretly happy when she learned that Wei Qing's wife had died.

But Wei Qing was just a former riding slave, and his identity did not match, so he deliberately asked the people around him: "Are there any virtuous people among the princes?"”

Everyone unanimously recommended Wei Qing, which made Princess Pingyang very satisfied, but she still pretended to hesitate and frowned: "He used to be just a slave rider of my family, and my identity with him is too different, right?"”

The people around him replied: "Now that Wei Qing is a general, his sister is the queen, and his sons are also marquis, it is most suitable to marry him." ”

Soon, this matter reached Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he laughed and said: "It's very interesting, Wei Qing is my brother-in-law, and I am also his brother-in-law, it's really close to each other." "Immediately gave Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang a marriage.

In 115 BC, the 43-year-old Princess Pingyang married for the third time and married the 32-year-old Wei Qing.

On the wedding night, Wei Qing was drunk and staggered, and walked into the cave room, he thought that Princess Pingyang must be a half-old, but he didn't want to, the princess not only looked like the past, but also had a mature charm, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Princess Pingyang was amused by his appearance and asked, "Do you remember me?"”

Wei Qing suddenly woke up, knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Wei Qing greets the master!."The grace of the past, Wei Qing has never forgotten!”

Wei Qing said so and did so.

After getting married, Wei Qing did not put on the role of a big hero at all, and was respectful to Princess Pingyang, living a happy life of respecting each other like a guest and being harmonious with Qinse.

However, the good times did not last long, due to Wei Qing's long-term war, overwork, and old injuries, he died suddenly after staying with Princess Pingyang for ten years, and Princess Pingyang became a widow again.

This time, Princess Binh Duong chose to stay alone in the empty room and spend the rest of her life peacefully. Before she died, she left a will to her younger brother Emperor Wu of Han, asking that she and Wei Qing be buried together and be by Wei Qing's side forever.
