Princess Huayang, as the eldest daughter of Qin Shi Huang, why did she marry an old general?

Princess Huayang is the eldest daughter of Qin Shi Huang, and this old general is Wang Qian, the general of Qin, this incident happened when Qin Shi Huang was preparing to attack Chu State, Qin Shi Huang married his eldest daughter to an old man in order to envelop Wang Jian and spy on Wang Qian.

It happened when Qin Shi Huang was about to attack the state of Chu, and he summoned the general at that time, Wang Qian, and asked: "General Wang, I want to attack the state of Chu, do you think if you lead the army to the battle, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" "Wang Jian thought for a long time, and finally said to Qin Shi Huang: I need 600,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise it will be difficult to capture the state of Chu.

Qin Shi Huang asked Li Xin how many soldiers and horses he needed, and Li Xin said without thinking about it, 200,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and the state of Chu is already strong and cannot compete with the tiger and wolf army of my Great Qin.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Wang Jian and then looked at Li Xin, so he laughed and said to Wang Qian, General Wang, you are old and have no ambitions, it seems that you are no longer suitable to lead troops to fight in the future, and left after speaking. Qin Shi Huang gave Li Xin 200,000 soldiers and horses, Wang Jian knew that Qin Shi Huang would no longer reuse him, so he asked to resign and return to his hometown, Qin Shi Huang didn't think about it.

Li Xin was still young and frivolous with 200,000 soldiers and horses against a country, and soon the army was defeated and returned to the dynasty, there was no way Qin Shi Huang had to come to Wang Qian's hometown to apologize, and asked Wang Jian to lead the troops to the expedition again, Wang Jian saw Qin Shi Huang so he ignored the previous suspicions, saying that I must have 600,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise victory cannot be guaranteed, Qin Shi Huang gave him the talisman after a little consideration.

After returning to the palace, Qin Shi Huang thought left and right and worried that Wang Jian would be in danger if he rebelled with the army of 600,000, so after thinking about it, he married his eldest daughter Princess Huayang to Wang Qian, so that he could rest assured that he would become an in-law, so on the way to Wang Qian's march, the eldest princess Huayang took Qin Shi Huang's summons and held a wedding with Wang Jian on the spot, and then went to the front line together.

Although Princess Huayang has a noble status, she cannot escape the cage of political marriage. Although she was favored, when faced with marriage, Qin Shi Huang still married her to the old general who was "the right person" to achieve the purpose of political marriage.

The princess is not an emperor, and the status of women in the imperial family is very low, and Princess Huayang is also, although she is the daughter of Qin Shi Huang, she was still used as a tool for exchange of interests by Qin Shi Huang and married an old general.

There is a passage in "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books": In the twenty-second year of Qin Shi Huang, Li Xin, who led a large army to attack Chu, suffered a defeat and returned. At this moment, Wang Jian is complaining about his illness and is recuperating at Pinyang's home.

Qin Shi Huang came to Pinyang to meet Wang Qian, personally put the general's seal on Wang Qian, and allocated him 600,000 troops, ordering him to go on the expedition three days later. But Qin Shi Huang is a cautious eye, although Wang Jian asked him for a good land mansion, with greed to show loyalty, but Qin Shi Huang still felt that the whole country's soldiers and armor were under the command of Wang Qian, and his heart was always ten thousand not strong, what could this old king do if he had a rebellion? After all, the resourceful Ying Zheng thought of a way to match a political marriage.

Therefore, after Qin Shi Huang returned to Xianyang, he ordered his daughter Princess Huayang to select a hundred beautiful palace maids to go to Pinyang to meet Wang Qian, and quietly issued an edict with Princess Huayang on his back, saying: "Marriage is made when you meet." Princess Huayang only thought that her father had let her go to meet the general Wang Qian, but she didn't know that her father had secretly ordered her to marry Wang Jian in the local area where they met.

It is rumored that after Princess Huayang and Wang Jian met, they established a temporary marriage room in the local area where they met, and Wang Jian pressed the begonia with a pear flower. Effect: When Princess Huayang was grooming in the mirror the next day, she was full of gray hair overnight. Because the emperor's daughter had rested and groomed here, the descendants built a temple to commemorate it.

After liberation, the former site of the temple was once used as the station of Huayang Commune and the school building of Huatoumiao Junior High School. Today's Huatou Temple is gone, and Huatou Temple Junior High School has also been renamed Zhangqiao Town No. 2 Junior High School and moved to another place.

Mrs. Huayang is the grandmother of Qin Shi Huang, and the two are grandchildren, but they are not related, because Qin Shi Huang's father, Qin Zhuang Xiangwang, is the adopted son of Mrs. Huayang.

Mrs. Huayang was a nobleman of the Chu State, who was deeply favored after marrying An Guojun, but had no children. Xia Ji, the biological mother of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and Win Zi Chu, was not favored by An Guojun, so Ying Zi Chu was sent by An Guojun to Zhao as a hostage. Since the Qin State often attacked the Zhao State, Yingzi Chu's situation in the Zhao State was very embarrassing.

Later, with the help of Lü Buwei, Ying Zichu returned to Qin and recognized Mrs. Huayang as his mother. After Ying Zi Chu succeeded as the monarch of Qin, he named Mrs. Huayang as the queen mother, and sent people to Zhao to pick up Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng's mother and son. After the death of Ying Zichu, Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, he conquered the Six Kingdoms, established the Qin Dynasty, and was praised by later generations as "the first emperor of the ages".

The reason why Princess Huayang married Wang Jian was not of her own volition, she just obeyed Qin Shi Huang's orders. Qin Shi Huang was worried that Wang Jian was in power, and if he rebelled, he would be cold, so he married Princess Huayang to him.

Daughters are generally victims of the royal family, and they cannot marry the people they love, but can only be used as a means of political marriage, obeying their father's orders, which is conducive to the stability of the country.

1, Mrs. Huayang is the grandmother of Qin Shi Huang, but it is not a relationship between relatives, Qin Shi Huang's father Qin Zhuang Xiangwang is the adopted son of Mrs. Huayang, so it is natural for Qin Shi Huang to call Mrs. Huayang's grandmother, but the two are not related by blood.

2, Mrs. Huayang, surnamed Mi, Xiong, a nobleman of Chu State, and the queen of King Yingzhu of Qin Xiaowen. Although Mrs. Huayang was favored by An Guojun, she had no son, and later, under the impetus of Lü Buwei, she accepted her son Chu as her heir. Xia Ji, the mother of King Xiang of Qinzhuang, was honored as the Empress Dowager of Xia, and Mrs. Huayang was revered as the Empress Dowager of Huayang.

Princess Huayang married Wang Jian for political needs, and as for her love for Gao and gradually leaving, I think it is fictional. The ending is that Princess Huayang committed suicide.

The answer is: this princess love story is pure joke and not believable. If there is a strong ending, it is also a classic bridge where political marriage is higher than secular love.

Princess Huayang married Wang Jian is the meaning of Qin Shi Huang. Wang Jian is brave and good at fighting, and he has military power, of course, he needs to be encircled.

This must also be a political marriage, not voluntary, although deeply favored by Qin Shi Huang, but his own marriage cannot be decided by himself.

It was difficult for ancient women to make decisions about their marriage, even if she was a princess, the reason why she married the general Wang Jian was also out of political considerations, and in the end, Princess Huayang also chose to commit suicide because of Gao's gradual departure.

She didn't want to marry, the king's fate was difficult to disobey, Qin Shi Huang was suspicious, possessive, and brutal, and he was afraid that Wang Jian would earn his throne and marry him.

I think it's a political marriage, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, marrying Wang Jian can stabilize the general.
