During the reign of Xuan Di, the Han Dynasty was strong for a period of time. At that time, the power of Xiongnu declined more and more, because the nobles fought for power and profit. Later, the Huns split up, and the five Khan separated and attacked each other endlessly.

One of them, Khan named Hu, was defeated by his brother Khan, causing numerous casualties. After discussing with Hu He, he decided to mend fences with the Han Dynasty and personally took the minister to see the emperor.

Hu is the first Khan in the Central Plains. Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu, treated him like a distinguished guest, and personally greeted him on the outskirts of Chang 'an and held a grand banquet for him. Uhaanyehe lived in Chang 'an for more than a month. He asked Emperor Xuan Di to help him go back. Xuan Di agreed, and sent two generals to lead ten thousand cavalry to escort him to Monan. At that time, the Huns were short of food, and the Han Dynasty also sent 34,000 tons of food.

Uhaanyehe was very grateful and made up with the Han Dynasty. Hearing that the Huns and the Han Dynasty were reconciled, countries in the western regions rushed to deal with the Han Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di, his son Liu ascended the throne as Emperor of the Han Dynasty. In a few years, the branch of Hun Khan invaded the western countries and killed the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty sent troops to Kangzhou, defeated and killed Zhikhan.

When Zhikhan dies, his position will be stable. In 33 BC, Uhaanyehe went to Chang 'an again and asked to be close to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Han Yuan agreed.

In the past, both Han Dynasty and Xiongnu and their relatives had to choose a princess or the daughter of an imperial clan. This time, Emperor Han Yuan decided to choose a maid-in-waiting for him. He ordered someone to send a message to the harem: "Whoever wants to go to Xiongnu, the emperor will treat her as a princess."

The ladies in the harem are all selected from the people. As soon as they enter the palace, they are like caged birds, hoping to let them out of the palace one day. But I heard that I would leave my country to go to Xiongnu, but I didn't want to.

There was a maid-in-waiting named Wang Qiang, also called Wang Zhaojun, who was very beautiful and knowledgeable. For her life, she resolutely signed up and volunteered to kiss the Huns.

The minister in charge is worried that no one will apply. He heard that Wang Zhaojun was willing to go, so he reported her name to Emperor Han Yuan. Emperor Han Yuan ordered ministers to choose a wedding day for Uhaanyehe and Wang Zhaojun in Chang 'an.

It goes without saying that Uhaanyehe is very happy and grateful to marry such a beautiful young wife. When Uhaanyehe and Wang Zhaojun thanked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that Zhaojun was beautiful and generous, and some of them were reluctant to part with him. He wanted to keep Wang Zhaojun, but it was too late.

Legend has it that when Emperor Han Yuan returned to the Inner Palace, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He had the portrait of Zhao Jun taken from the portrait of the maid-in-waiting. Although it looks a bit like it, it is not as cute as Zhao Jun himself.

It turns out that ladies-in-waiting usually don't see the emperor after entering the palace, but painters draw portraits and give them to the emperor for selection. There is a painter named Mao Yanshou. When he painted the portrait of the maid-in-waiting, the maid-in-waiting gave him some gifts, and he painted it beautifully. Wang Zhaojun didn't want to give gifts, so Mao Yanshou didn't describe Wang Zhaojun's beauty truthfully. Emperor Han Yuan was very angry and killed Mao Yanshou.

Wang Zhaojun left Chang 'an under the escort of Han and Xiongnu officials. Riding a horse and braving the biting wind, she came all the way to Xiongnu and became the E Shi of Uhaanyehe. After a long time, she gradually got used to life and got along well with Xiongnu. Huns all like and respect her.

Wang Zhaojun lived in Xiongnu for a long time, far from his hometown. She advised Uhaanyehe not to wage war, and passed on the Central Plains culture to the Huns. After that, the Huns and the Han Dynasty lived in harmony, and there was no war for more than 60 years.

Shortly after Wang Zhaojun left Chang 'an, Emperor Han Yuan died, and his son Liu Ao ascended the throne and became Emperor Han.
