Why did Princess Yicheng marry four generations of Khan, and what was her relationship with Excavate?

Princess Yicheng was a maid in the Sui Dynasty, and there were few records about her in history. Because Princess Anyi died before joining the pro-Turks, the then ruler Sui Wendi married the maid to Qi Ming Khan in the name of the princess. According to historical records, the princess remarried Khan four times. The reason is that the customs of the Turks are different from those of the Han people, and the Princess Yicheng is only used by the authorities as a tool for marriage and stable rule.

Become a tool of royal marriage

Princess Yicheng made an indelible contribution to the development of the Sui Dynasty. In order to stabilize the rule of Turks, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty married Princess Yicheng to Qimin Khan, a Turkic Khan. At that time, Turks surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Later, after the death of Qimin Khan, Khan ascended the throne, and his son asked the emperor to marry Princess Yicheng. Yang Di agreed to his request, so Princess Yicheng married the second Khan. Later, Khan died, his son was still young, and his younger brother Luo Khan succeeded him. He continued to marry Princess Yicheng and sent people to rule the rulers of the Sui Dynasty. Later, Chu Luohan died and his younger brother Jerihan succeeded him. He married Princess Yicheng on the principle that his stepmother was his wife. Perhaps the princess's experience is not shameful in the Central Plains, but in Turkic culture, women have a low status and can marry at will as long as they are not related by blood.

Excavate killed Princess Yicheng.

Li Jing was a famous general in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. His greatest achievement was to break the Turks and kill Princess Yicheng. In the third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong planned to attack the Turks and appointed Li Jing as the general manager of the March. Finally, Excavate lived up to his mission and drove the Turks to Inner Mongolia, bringing back Xiao Huanghou's son and Emperor Yang Di. Later, the Turks were at the end of their tether and wanted to make peace with Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong sent Li Jing to appease the Turks, but Li Jing thought that the Turks didn't really want peace, so when the Turks relaxed, they broke the Turkish army, killed Princess Yicheng and robbed a lot of trophies. The Turks have since perished.

Death ended a miserable life.

Princess Yicheng is undoubtedly the most tragic existence in these disputes. From marriage to four marriages, her life was in the hands of the authorities and became a stepping stone for men to compete for rights.
