Princess Pingyang was the emperor's sister. During the founding of Emperor Gaozu, Princess Pingyang led thousands of troops to establish an imperial career for her father, and she was truly a woman.

In the late years of Daye, in order to support the rise of Jinyang, Princess Pingyang gathered the heroes of Guanzhong and mobilized Si Zhu to raise the army, and led the elite troops of the Detachment of Women's Army she created. She met with the emperor who was also the King of Qin on the north bank of the Wei River to jointly break through Chang'an.

During the period when Princess Pingyang was guarding Niangzi Pass, she often stayed in her saddle and knife. She also used Mi Tangzhi to retreat enemy soldiers, so she knew that her courage was no less than her brothers.

When Princess Pingyang led the army of the Lady of Women to station in Niangzi Pass, she relied on natural dangers to build fortifications and set up tight defenses, so that the enemy could take advantage of it.

Once the enemy launched a large-scale attack. Princess Pingyang saw that the enemy was coming fiercely, and while sending people to bring reinforcements, commanding the Detachment of Women and the residents to guard the enemy strictly. Due to the lack of troops in the pass, the situation at the Detachment of Women was very dangerous. Facing the army several times her own, Princess Pingyang was anxious and walked anxiously on the city tower thinking about his ideas, while looking into the distance, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

Suddenly, she saw the millet that was harvesting in the fields in the distance, and immediately came up with a plan. She ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to harvest immediately, set up a pot, and make rice soup with new rice. After the rice soup was boiled, Princess Pingyang ordered her troops to pour all the gates from the gate to the front of the gate in the night.

The next day, the rice soup was everywhere in the gullies in front of Niangzi Pass. After the enemy sentry discovered it, they suspected that they were urinating on horses and hurriedly reported to the commander. The commander came out of the tent to watch, and saw flags waving on the city tower, shouting from the military and civilians, and the war drums were pounding. They mistakenly judged that reinforcements had arrived. Because they were afraid of ambushing, the enemy could only retreat. When the enemy discovered that they were trapped, they wanted to kill them, and the reinforcements had arrived again, and they could only sigh.

Niangziguan was originally called Weizeguan. In order to commemorate Princess Pingyang's achievements, it was specially renamed Niangziguan.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu formally appointed her as Princess Pingyang.

In his early years, Princess Pingyang was led by Emperor Gaozu and married Chai Zhao, the descendant of the general. Chai Zhao was born in the general and was famous for "agile and brave" since childhood. When he was young, he served as the Qianniu Preparation for the Prince of the Northern Dynasty (meaning of company).

In the Northern Dynasty, the fire of the peasant uprising was raging across the country. Chai Zhao raised an army with Emperor Gaozu and made many outstanding achievements. Emperor Gaozu married Princess Pingyang to him.

The couple has two sons. The eldest son Chai Wende has been named General of Youtunying and is stationed in the army and has already started a family and established a career.

The one who stayed in Chang'an was his youngest son Chai Wude.

Princess Pingyang and his wife were of great importance to the achievements of the Zhou Dynasty. Judging from the father's respect for his son, Chai Wude's marriage was destined not to be hasty.

It is the will of Princess Pingyang to make her son become the son-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is also the will of the emperor to join forces with her to consolidate the regime.

So, the only question is, which princess should be the daughter-in-law of the Chai family?

With Princess Pingyang, the mother-in-law, the empresses in the harem all have their own concerns. Some are afraid of it, while others are flocking to it.

Princess Pingyang is brave and good at fighting, just like a man. Some empresses are worried about whether such a mother-in-law will be too strong and whether the princess will feel wronged after marrying. Some empresses also believe that marrying to Princess Pingyang's mansion is a supreme glory.

For the Seventh Princess, she is naturally the second type.

She has no mother. If she can marry into Princess Pingyang's mansion, she will undoubtedly find the biggest backer and the best safe haven.

But it is precisely because she has no mother, so no one plans for her.

The Seventh Princess was not a good person, she was willing to do something, so she went to ask the Queen to make decisions for herself, but in addition to the three princes, there were four princes born and an adopted daughter.

The fifth princess Chu Lizhi is the eldest daughter of the queen. She was named Princess Changle by the emperor and has married Zhou Chong, the son of the uncle Zhou Chang.

The second daughter is Princess Ninth Princess Chengyang, and she has also married Du Xianghe, the son of Duke Ming, the right servant of Shangshu.

There are two other princesses, namely the 19th Princess Jinyang Princess Chu Mingda and the 21st Princess Xincheng Princess. These two little princesses are still young and are not yet old to get married. However, the sixth Princess Princess Yuzhang is named after the name of the Boudoir, and they are in line with Chai Wude.

The sixth princess, Princess Yuzhang, was born to her concubine. She died as soon as she was born. She was raised by Empress Zhou, so the emperor's favor for the sixth princess did not decrease.

Therefore, the Sixth Princess can be regarded as a competitor of the Seventh Princess in marriage with Wu De's cousin.

There are also Concubine Wei’s two daughters, the Lord of Dingxiang County and Princess Linchuan.

Princess Linchuan is the emperor's eleventh daughter, but the Lord of Dingxiang County was not born to the emperor, but the daughter of Concubine Wei and her ex-husband.

When Wei Concubine Wei's husband died in the war, Wei Concubine brought her daughter back to her parents' home.

The Wei family was one of the most important gentry families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has a wide influence in Chang'an. The common people in Chang'an have a common saying: "The Wei family in the south of the city, and go to Tianchi Wu."

Concubine Wei's great-grandfather was a famous military commander in the Northern Dynasties. He served as the Grand Tutor, Shangshu Youpushe and other positions. His grandfather was once the General of the Cavalry. His father's uncle and uncle served as the official positions of the Third Division of the Northern Dynasties, the Governor, Shangyi Fengyu and other positions.

Concubine Wei is the daughter of Wei's eldest wife, a veritable Gao family Shuyuan.

The emperor was able to marry Concubine Wei, who had been widowed for many years and was two years older than him, and was closely related to her status as a high-ranking daughter.

Looking back at the beginning, Emperor Gaozu sent the King of Qin to attack Luoyang. The King of Qin was young, brave, good at planning and wise, but it was extremely difficult to attack Luoyang because the famous general Wang of Luoyang was stationed in Luoyang, and he defended the lonely city of Luoyang for eight months.

During the seven or eight months that Luoyang was besieged, Concubine Wei was in the city.

At that time, Luoyang people were short of drinking and food. The expensive clothing and entertainment in the peaceful years were as cheap as mustard at that time. A piece of silk could only be exchanged for three liters of millet, and a piece of cloth could only be exchanged for one liter of salt.

The common people eat grass roots and leaves, and they get sick one after another, their bodies are swollen, their hands and feet are weak, and corpses are everywhere on the road.

The families of the ministers and nobles can only eat some bran kernels, and the Shangshu Lang often starves to death.

Under such harsh conditions, Concubine Wei and her daughter could survive for a lifetime.

The King of Qin led his troops to surround him during the day and at night, and finally surrounded Luoyang into a pile of dead people.

During this period, the King of Qin also destroyed the tens of thousands of Dou's army from the south to rush to Luoyang. He only brought three thousand troops and killed General Dou at Hulao Pass.

Reinforcements were hopeless, and Wang, at the advice of the King of Qin, opened the Luoyang city gate and surrendered to the King of Qin's army. The King of Qin's army drove in from the Luoyang city gate, and the fate between Concubine Wei and King of Qin also began.

The King of Qin established a famous family in Luoyang City and married the widow Wei Concubine, which naturally became the bargaining chip for the King of Qin to win over the famous family.

After the King of Qin married Wei, he treated her and her deceased husband's daughter as his own and was also named the lord of Dingxiang County, which was also considered a good stepfather in China.

The Seventh Princess had heard Empress Zhou exclaim in the Lizheng Hall of Empress Zhou, and Concubine Wei also intended to marry Princess Pingyang as her daughter-in-law.

Why is it the lord of Dingxiang County, not the Princess Linchuan?

Because the Lord of Dingxiang County is just the emperor's stepdaughter, Concubine Wei is more loving and wants to plan more for her.
