Biography of the characterEarly life experienceEmperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty, born in the first year of Yuanping (74 BC), was the eldest son of Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty, and his mother was Empress Gongai Xu Pingjun. A few months after Liu Zheng was born, his father Liu Xun ascended the throne as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. In the third year of the Dijie (67 BC), the eight-year-old Liu Zheng was made the crown prince by Emperor Xuan, but because he once said to Emperor Xuan that "the punishment is too deep, it is appropriate to use Confucianism", he was not loved by Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan even prophesied that "whoever messes with my family will be the prince", but he did not deprive him of the crown prince because he was the son of his wife Xu Pingjun.
EnthronementIn December of the first year of Huanglong (49 BC), Emperor Xuan of Han died, and the crown prince Liu Zheng succeeded to the throne as Emperor Yuan of Han. In the second year (48 BC), the name of the year was changed to "Chu Yuan", and during his reign, he "advocated Confucianism" and sent troops to defeat the Xiongnu many times. In the third year of Jianzhao (36 years ago), the Han generals Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang Zhu Zhi Zhi were in Yu Kangju (the battle of Zhizhi). At this point, the only anti-Han Xiongnu Shan Yu was eliminated. The Hundred Years War between Han and Hungary came to an end. In the first year of Jingning (33 years ago), the Xiongnu called Han Evil Shan to enter the court to seek marriage. Liu Zheng married the queen of the palace (Wang Zhaojun) as his wife. At this time, the Han Dynasty was relatively strong, but it was also the starting point of its decline. During the reign of Liu Zheng, the wind of mergers and acquisitions of powerful landlords prevailed, the centralization of power was gradually weakened, and the social crisis deepened day by day. And because Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was too indulgent to his relatives and eunuchs, he eventually led to the dictatorship of his relatives and the demise of the Western Han Dynasty. Passed awayIn May of the first year of Jingning (33 BC), Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty died in Weiyang Palace in Chang'an at the age of forty-two. He was buried in Weiling (12 miles northeast of Xianyang City, Shaanxi). After his death, the temple was called Gaozong (later canceled), and he was called Emperor Xiaoyuan. The crown prince Liu Biao ascended the throne for Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. 
Zhaojun is out of the stopperAfter Zhi Zhi was killed, Hu Han Xie Shan Yu was both happy to eliminate his political enemies and fearful of the might of the Han Dynasty. In the first month of the first year of Jingning (33 years ago), Hu Han Yeshan entered the Chang'an Dynasty for the third time, and expressed his willingness to marry a Han woman as the Yan family. Emperor Yuan was also willing to consolidate the friendly relations between Han and Hungary in the form of marriage, so he married him as the queen of the palace. Wang Chang, the word Zhaojun, in the Western Jin Dynasty because of the avoidance of Sima Zhao, changed the name of Mingjun, Nanjun Zigui (now Hubei) people. Although Zhaojun has an elegant appearance and dignified manners, because he has not been awarded by the emperor, his status in the harem is extremely humble and not taken seriously. Like the vast majority of palace maids at that time, Zhaojun "entered the palace for several years, could not see the emperor, and accumulated grief and resentment". But when history provided an opportunity, she took the initiative to ask for permission and voluntarily married the Huns. At the farewell ceremony held before leaving, Emperor Yuan saw Zhaojun's plump face and beautiful makeup, radiant and radiant, Gu Ying wandered, moving left and right, he couldn't help but feel remorseful, and wanted to leave her behind, but it was inconvenient to lose his trust, so he had to let her go with Hu Han Xie. Zhaojun, a brave and courageous palace maid of the Han family, in order to promote the unity of the Han and Hungarian nationalities, voluntarily went out to fulfill the political marriage and became an outstanding woman who went down in history. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty believed that this political marriage could make "the border chief have no military revolution", and deliberately changed the name of the era to "Jingning", which means the border is peaceful. Hu Han Xie Shan Yu named Wang Zhaojun as "Ninghu Yanshi", "Ninghu" means "the Xiongnu get Zhaojun, the country will be peaceful". Since then, the long-term war between Han and Hungary has come to an end, and the two sides have maintained friendly relations. The 150-year Han-Hungarian conflict is like a majestic symphony, and Zhaojun's exit from the fortress is like a perfect "rest". Zhaojun's deeds are only a few dozen words in the official history, but there are many records in the history of barnyard officials, and they are even more legendary. There is such a legend in "Xijing Miscellaneous Records": "There are many harems of Emperor Yuan, but they are not common, but they make paintings and figures, and call them according to the pictures." The people of the palace bribed the painters, the more than 100,000, and the less did not reduce 50,000, and the only king refused to see it. Because of the despicable behavior of the painter Mao Yanshou, Zhaojun's youth was missed, causing her to leave her hometown and marry a foreign land. According to the Eastern Han Dynasty writer Cai Yong's "Qin Cao", after Zhaojun married the Xiongnu, he was unhappy and composed a poem, which was called "Zhaojun's Resentment", which has such a verse: "The swallow of Pianpian is far away from Xiqiang." The mountains are high and the rivers are mighty. Father and mother, the road is long. Whine, sorrowful, sorrowful. "The poem is most likely a pseudonym. It is also rumored that Zhaojun also wrote a letter to Emperor Yuan. The content of the letter is as follows: "The concubine is fortunate to be confined to the body, saying that her body depends on the sun and the moon, and she has more luck in death, and she is frustrated and flees to a foreign land. If you have to sacrifice your life to repay it, how dare you feel sorry for yourself? Regret the country's dethronement, move to the lowly workers, look south at the Han Que, and increase the ears in vain! There is a father and a brother, but His Majesty has little pity. It is said that Emperor Yuan was very emotional when he got the book, and turned to hate the painter for making a stumbling block and investigating his crime of defrauding the king. Five people, including painter Mao Yanshou, "abandoned the city on the same day", and for a time the painters in the capital were almost extinct. Wang Anshi wrote in his "Ming Concubine Song": "When I returned, I blamed Dan Qing's hands, how many times have I ever had it in my life? The origin of the attitude could not be painted, and Mao Yanshou was killed in vain at that time. He reversed the orthodoxy of blaming Mao Yanshou for bullying the monarch in the past, and pointed the edge of criticism at Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, women who came out of the fortress and kissed abounded, and most of them were princesses of the clan with golden branches and jade leaves. But their behavior and deeds soon passed away with the long river of history, but Zhaojun, who was born in a "good family", has been remembered for thousands of years. In 1963, Comrade Dong Biwu composed a poem about Zhaojun, which was engraved on the stone tablet in front of Zhaojun's tomb: "Zhaojun has his own thousand autumns, and Hu Han and his relatives have seen high." The lyricists are all worried, and it is always in vain to dance and write. It not only affirmed the historical significance of Zhaojun's exit, but also affirmed the historical vision of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.
