The most tragic princess of the Sui Dynasty, married 4 fathers and sons in 20 years, and the ending was emotional
In ancient China, peacekeeping was one of the most important ways to maintain border relations. The princess married away from home and played an important role in maintaining relations between the two countries. Some princesses are revered locally, while others end their short lives in foreign lands. Princess Yi Chengyang of the Sui Dynasty is an example of the latter.
She married four Turkic kings in her twenties and worked hard to maintain relations between the Sui dynasty and the Turks. However, the fall of the Sui Dynasty was irreversible, and Yang Guifei tragically ended her life in a foreign land.

In the winter of 602 AD, heavy snow fell outside Chang'an. Yang Guifei wrapped her cloak tightly and walked towards the palace gate in the snow. Today, Emperor Wen Sui wants to marry Princess Yicheng to the Turk Han Qimin to establish a marriage between the two countries.
Yang Guifei was born into the royal family and lived with her mother after her father's early death. Now 17 years old, she is in her best years. Her bright face was full of shyness, but her eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness - she was about to embark on a journey to the Seychelles to marry a foreign monarch she had never met.
Emperor Wen Sui personally dressed her in an expensive blue vibrating sleeve coat specially designed for the concubine. When Yang Guifei put on this coat, her petite figure suddenly became a little more serious.
Emperor Wen of Han nodded with satisfaction and sent someone to escort Yang Guang north. The group quickly disappeared into the snow. Yang Guang looked at the distant Chang'an City, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He knew it was a choice that couldn't be changed.
A few days later, Yang arrived in the Turkish Khanate and officially became the wife of the Khan of Qimin. She had no choice but to accept this fact and try her best to play the role of a kind, obedient wife.
His early life was very difficult, with a cold climate, thin clothing, and no privacy. The diet of the Turks was very different from that of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guifei often found it difficult to work due to illness. He often hid in the corner of the tent and wept, feeling lonely and lonely.
Fortunately, the Khan of Qimin treated her very well, not only honoring her as his wife, but also providing her with the most comfortable accommodation, food, and clothing. Yang gradually learned to ride horses, shoot arrows, and cook local dishes, and became accustomed to the Turkish way of life. Seeing that she was smart and clever, Qi Minghan gradually believed her advice.
Two years later, Emperor Yang of Sui sent an envoy to Turkey, and Qi Minhan and his wife came to visit. Emperor Yang of Sui was very happy to see Yang Guang's radiant and generous appearance, praised him, and gave him many precious gifts. Yang Guang was very happy - the royal family recognized his efforts, which strengthened his determination to maintain good relations between the two countries.
That night, Emperor Yang of Sui held a banquet to entertain the envoys of the two countries. During the banquet, Han Qimin praised Yang Guifei for being smart and virtuous. Yang Guifei smiled modestly, and her eyes flowed.
Two. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Guang has been in Turkia for eight years. During these eight years, thanks to his support, the Sui Dynasty maintained good relations with the Turks. However, the good times were short-lived. In 609, the Khan of Qimin died, and Yang Guang once again fell into despair.
According to Turkish custom, the princess must marry her own son after her death, so Yang Guifei had to accept this fact and remarry Shibi Khan, the son of Qimin Khan.
Shi Bihan is a cruel person and has never had a good face towards Yang Guifei. In order to relieve loneliness, Yang Guifei lived in his house and embroidered clothes for him every day. She often looks up at the sky and misses her distant homeland. She often hid in the corner and wept bitterly, regretting her choice.
However, her confession was unsuccessful, and she had to continue to play the role of a faithful wife, seeking opportunities for the Turks to restore relations with the Sui dynasty.
In 610, the Sui dynasty rejected the request for peace from the subjects of Shibi Khan, and relations between the two sides deteriorated rapidly. The following year, Shibi Khan led his army south to attack Emperor Yang of Sui.
After hearing the news, Emperor Yang of Sui was very worried. He secretly sent someone to the Sui Dynasty to send a letter to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to remind him to take care of his health. The news spread outside the mountain, and Emperor Yang of Sui saved his life with his own actions.
Yang then carefully observed Chai Khan's demeanor, for fear that he would reveal something. Fortunately, Chai Khan did not notice any change in her behavior, and Yang relented and continued to play the role of a faithful wife. However, in this unfamiliar environment, she realized that if she wanted to get out of the way, she had to be more vigilant and careful.
Three generations of surnames. Time flies, and Yang Xiuzhu spent 15 years in Turkestan. Today, she is 35 years old and in the prime of her youth. Over the years, the wind, frost, rain and snow have left scars on her face and eyebrows.
In 619 AD, Shi Bihan died, and Yang had to face a new life. She married Shi Bihan's younger brother Luo Han and became his third husband.
Unlike his two predecessors, Khan Rao had a lot of respect for Yang. He not only respected Yang as his wife, but also consulted her on political matters. At Yang's suggestion, Rao Khan brought many commoners from the Sui Dynasty and supported Yang Zhengdao, a member of the Sui Dynasty's royal family"King of Sui", through the hands of the Yang clan to re-establish the Sui Dynasty regime.
Yang was overjoyed. Since her marriage to the Turkish Empire, she has been worried about the fate of her homeland. Now the Sui Dynasty has fallen and was established in a foreign country"Later Sui"The regime can revive her country. This will be the result of years of hard work. But the good times didn't last long. On the eve of the attack on the Tang Dynasty, Luo Han suddenly died of illness. Yang Xiuqing was desperate again.
In 622 AD, at the age of 38, Yang Guifei married Luo Han's younger brother Sirihan. This year is the eighteenth year of Yang Guifei's arrival in Turkey.
The years have left more blemishes on her face. She is no longer a girl with a delicate face, but a gloomy middle-aged face. is more polite, not surprised, and better at playing with power.
Jielihan was an ambitious ruler who intended to unite the Turghut tribes and establish a powerful Khorezm to fight the Tang dynasty. Yang became his target again and was forced to marry.
But after so many years of experience, Yang Guo also understands the cruelty of people's hearts. He is no longer as naïve and enthusiastic as he used to be, and has replaced it with patience and caution.
He was outwardly obedient to Jieli Khan, but deep down he was already independent. He realized that his mission had been accomplished, that the opportunity to revive the Sui Dynasty no longer existed, and that his only goal now was to retreat unscathed.
In the winter of 625, the decisive Battle of Huashan broke out between Jielihan and the Tang army. Yang Xiuqing knew that this was the end of the Turkish Empire, so he surrendered to the Tang army. In a sad but firm tone, he pleaded with the Tang army to send him back to Chang'an.
But time has passed, and everything at home has changed. Yang Guozhong felt unprecedented loss and loneliness in the Tang military camp. He suddenly realized that he had lost the support and motivation to live.
In the spring of 630, Yang Guang was executed as a Turkish nobleman in front of the city of Chang'an. He was forty-seven years old. He has been through many ups and downs in the past two decades and has been married four times.
Princess, wife of the Turkish Khan, the center of the Sui Dynasty. She has played many roles. In a foreign land, she used wisdom and courage to illuminate the light of peace for twenty years, but unfortunately ended her own life.
This young and beautiful woman went all the way north, went through a lot of hardships, and finally died easily. Yang Guifei was buried outside the city of Chang'an after her death, without any mark. Many years later, no one remembers that this concubine who has experienced many vicissitudes is buried here.
As time passed, the story gradually blurred, and his life was only a small point in the long river of history.
We cannot judge their decision, but we can express our condolences.
This is Yang Guifei's life. She is an independent and determined woman who can go to the trouble for her duty, but in the end she dies in the tide of the times.
