conclusion 679At some time during Sui, the Princess of Huai-nan was married to
Shih-po-pi, son of the Shih-pi Qaghan.
In 711, Mo-ch’o, Qaghan of the Eastern Turks, requested a mar-
riage. Jui-tsung agreed and enfeoffed a lady of the T’ang imperial house
as Princess of Chin-shan to be his bride. But Jui-tsung abdicated on
Aug.21, 712, and the marriage did not take place.
In 713, Mo-ch’o again requested a marriage. Hsüan-tsung enfeoffed
a lady of the T’ang imperial house as Princess of Nan-ho to be his
bride, but this marriage also fell through.
In 714, Mo-ch’o twice requested a marriage. Hsüan-tsung agreed,
but Mo-ch’o was killed in battle against the Uighurs in 716.
In 718, 721, and 724, the P’i-chia Qaghan of the Eastern Turks
unsuccessfully requested a marriage. In 725, he complained to a Chi-
nese envoy and did not accept his sophistries.
The Western TurksIn 610, a Western Turkish contender requested a marriage. In spite
of certain promises, it did not take place.
In 614, Emperor Yang married the Princess of Hsin-yi to the fugi-
tive Ch’u-lo Qaghan of the Western Turks.
In 620, the T’ung-yeh-hu Qaghan of the Western Turks requested
a marriage. Kao-tsu agreed, but nothing happened and Tung-yeh-hu
was killed in 628.
In 629, 635, and 646, Western Turks unsuccessfully requested
marriages.
In 635 or soon thereafter, A-shih-na Mi-she fled to the T’ang court.
He was a son of the late Ch’u-lo Qaghan of the Western Turks. He
received in marriage the Senior Princess of Nan-yang (or Heng-yang),
the sister of an unspecified T’ang emperor.
The Hsüeh-yen-t’oIn 642, T’ai-tsung agreed to marry the Princess of Hsin-hsing, a lady
of the T’ang imperial house to the Chen-chu-p’i-chia Qaghan of the
Hsüeh-yen-t’o. This marriage was aborted by Chinese trickery.
