What's the hidden secret behind Wei Qing's marriage to Princess Pingyang?

General Wei Qing married Princess Pingyang, the daughter of three marriages, behind which was the power struggle between the emperor and the queen mother. There is also the consideration of manufacturing equipment to expand the territory and quickly assembling the army. The early Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved Wei Zifu. In addition to Wei Zifu's gentleness and modesty, Emperor Wudi's support for Wei's consorts to attack the Empress Dowager and princess royal accounted for a large part. After Chen Ajiao was abolished, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Princess Pingyang for Wei Qing, helping the widowed sister Princess Pingyang to remarry a desirable lover. More importantly, in order to better grasp the forces of the army, Wei Qing was, after all, the first general to defeat the Huns in the Han Dynasty.

In 129 BC, the Huns invaded Shanggu County, and it was time for Wei Qing to show his talents. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Wei Qing as the riding general, and led ten thousand troops out of Shanggu County, riding general Gong Sun Ao led ten thousand troops out of Daixian County, General Gong Sun He led ten thousand troops out of the county without pomp, and General Li Guang led ten thousand troops out of Yanmen County. As a result, only Wei Qing's army won the Xiongnu Dragon City in Wang Ting, and the rest of the troops were defeated or failed. Wei Qing became famous in Longcheng during World War I, and was appointed as a post-official. When the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns for the first time, Wei Qing became a hot figure in the imperial court. Later, Queen Chen Ajiao was deposed for using witchcraft, and Wei Zifu became a full-fledged queen. Since then, the Wei family has flourished. The elder sister Wei Ziru married GongSunHe, and the second sister Wei Xiaoer married Zhang Chen, the descendant of Chen Ping.

At this time, the young Princess Pingyang has been widowed at home for some time, and she still wants to find a reliable prince to spend the rest of her life with. Ask the maid around you who is the wisest, and everyone around you says it's General Wei Qing. Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "This Wei Qing used to be my slave rider. Not suitable. " Everyone around you said, "The general is very distinguished now." A matchmaker talked to Wei Zifu about it. Although Wei Zifu agreed, he dared not make decisions in private, so he asked his own person, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy and said, "I married Wei Qing's sister, and Wei Qing married my sister, which is a bit interesting." Immediately ordered Wei Qing to marry Princess Pingyang. At this time, the motivation of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty for Wei Qing to marry Princess Pingyang changed. On the one hand, Princess Pingyang is her own sister, but she has been married twice and is no longer picky, so she helps her sister make a decision. On the other hand, Wei Qing is indeed a talented soldier.

A former manu can defeat the powerful Xiongnu, and it is no problem to open four barbarians. In fact, Wei Qing is also married and has a son named Wei Heng. Although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and as a general, no woman could marry him. However, the marriage given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has different meanings. At best, it helps the relationship between the royal family and the state. At worst, if you disobey an order, you will lose your head, and Wei Qing's brain is not stupid. The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty happily arranged the marriage between Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang was not only to help her sister achieve her wish, but more importantly, Wei Qing was a rare talent because of his loyalty, bravery and resourcefulness. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is determined to fight on all sides, and the most important thing is to have a trustworthy leader. How can a rare talent like Wei Qing not be firmly grasped?
