Princess Xian 'an in the Tang Dynasty married three generations of grandchildren.

Princess Xian 'an of the Tang Dynasty also married four Uighur khans. However, the first three husbands were three generations of grandchildren, and the last one was a former minister. This bizarre marriage experience is unique in China and the history of marriage.

Princess Xian 'an, your eighth daughter, whose birth mother is unknown, should be born to an ordinary imperial secretary. Although she is not a real princess, she is her own flesh and blood and a real princess of Datang. Princess Xian 'an married Uighur, which is the only way for Tang Dezong. When Tang Dezong ascended the throne, his national strength was weak and his borders were restless. There were arrogant Uighurs in the north and Tubo in the west, and the Tang Empire was once in trouble. During this period, Uighur Khan asked for relatives many times and asked for marriage, which was not allowed.

At the same time, Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty many times, and the incident of Pingliang grabbing the League in May of Zhenyuan three years shocked the ruling and opposition parties in the Tang Dynasty. In September, Uighur took advantage of the chaos to seek relatives and friends again. Uighur and Tubo, one wants women, the other grabs territory. The northern and western borders are tight at both ends, so Tang Dezong, in a hurry, had to imperial edict Princess Xian 'an and pro-Uighur to contain Tubo and control barbarians with the help of the power of Uighur.

For this long-awaited marriage, the success of Uighur Uyghur Khan made the messenger offer something, which was very sincere. So, he ordered Princess Zhi to be a portrait of Khan. Wu Fang refers to the local native products; It is a portrait of a princess. The reality of Uighur Khan and the romance of Princess Xian 'an are undoubtedly a good beginning of this legend and marriage. In October of the fourth year of Zhenyuan, the Uighur Prime Minister and others led thousands of people to Chang 'an to celebrate their marriage. Khan, who succeeded in Wuyi, also wrote to Tang Dezong, saying: I used to be a brother, but now I am a husband, and I have one and a half sons. If your majesty suffers from Xirong, please lead troops to get rid of it. He also invited Iraq to congratulate him and say "congratulations" and "I am still proud of you", insulting the Tibetan envoys.

Rent three thousand horses. Shuozhou and Taiyuan were ordered to leave more than 700 Uighurs. In addition to Tang Dezong's joy, he also awarded the title of Success Khan in Wuyi. As a longevity relative, Pei Khan, Princess Xian 'an corrected his longevity and filial piety for wisdom.

However, misfortune followed. A year later, in December of the fifth year of Zhenyuan, the long-lived pro-Khan died of illness, and his son Khan remained faithful. According to the strange inheritance and marriage system in Uighur, that is, the death of father, brother and uncle, the wife of son and nephew and stepmother, Princess Xian 'an married Khan again. Three months later, in March of Zhenyuan's sixth year, loyalty Khan was poisoned and his son Fengcheng Khan succeeded to the throne. According to custom, Fengcheng Khan married Princess Xian 'an again.

Five years later, in the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, Fengcheng Khan died childless, and Prime Minister Gu Dulu was conferred as Khan with faith by the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Xian 'an changed her husband. In this regard, "The Biography of the New Tang Dynasty" said that the main calendar was four khans, and "Tangjuan 98" said that all four people followed the Shang princess from Hufa.

From the fourth year of Zhenyuan to the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, in less than eight years, Princess Xian 'an married a long-lived natural relative, loyal, sincere and honest, which set a historical record for a Han princess to marry two surnames, three generations and four khans. The sadness and embarrassment can't be taken over at once.

In order to understand her father's worries, for the peace of the border, and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, Princess Xian 'an did not hesitate to sacrifice her youth and love, and resolutely broke through the marriage bondage of Han women who were single-minded and widowed. This spirit of being reasonable and compromising everything happened to a princess who has been influenced by Confucianism and ethics for many years, which is really admirable. In fact, Princess Xian 'an did not live up to her mission. This consanguineous marriage not only won Uighur, a tough and capable close comrade-in-arms, but also reversed the passive situation of losing the war with Tubo in the Tang Dynasty 100 years.

In February of Yuanhe three years, Princess Xian 'an went to heaven. Putting the responsibility on her shoulders and the pain in her heart, Princess Xian 'an lived in Uygur for 2 1 year and was tortured by the custom of three times of adoption. It can be said that she dedicated everything to the intimate cause of the Tang Dynasty and Uighur. After the death of Princess Xian 'an, she was abolished for three days and was given the titles of Grand princess royal and Xiangmu of Yan State, also known as Xiangmu Princess of Yan State. Once again, with courtesy, righteousness is heavy. He inherited the Voser of the Three Dynasties and spread the Fang Xiang of the Nine Surnames. Far from writing a letter, it is Shen Qiabi's marriage; Extraordinary customs and harmony really depend on the obituary of Su Yong's virtue, which highly praised his historical achievements in the pro-Uighur relationship. Princess Xian 'an was buried in Uighur after her death. She was the only real princess in the Tang Dynasty who left no roots.
