Biography
By the time that the tyrannical Woyanqudi Chanyu was killed in 58 BC, the already weakened Xiongnu confederacy had already fragmented into several factions warring against each other, among them are the two sons of Woyanqudi's predecessor Huhanye and Zhizhi. The two brothers turned against each other, and Huhanye was defeated by Zhizhi in 51 BC. He fled south and submitted to the Han dynasty, personally travelled to Chang'an to visit Emperor Xuan, who allowed his tribe to settle in the Yinshan area. Zhizhi also submitted to the Han the following year, but declared independence in 48 BC once he saw that they favored Huhanye, and moved further west to attack Fergana and the Wusun. In 43 BC, Huhanye moved back north. Zhizhi was killed by the Han at the Battle of Zhizhi in 36 BC, leaving Huhanye the uncontested leader of the Xiongnu.
In 33 BC, Huhanye visited Chang'an as part of the tributary system that existed between the Han and Xiongnu governments. He took the opportunity to request to become an imperial son-in-law. Unwilling to honour Huhanye with a real princess, Emperor Yuan ordered that the plainest girl in the palace be selected. A lady-in-waiting named Wang Zhaojun volunteered and the Emperor approved. However, Wang Zhaojun was revealed to be exceedingly beautiful (and was portraited to be plain by the selection painter, whom she did not bribe) and is considered one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, alongside Xi Shi, Diaochan, and Yang Guifei.
Wang Zhaojun became a favorite of Huhanye Chanyu, giving birth to two sons. Only one, Yituzhiyashi (伊屠智牙師) has been recorded as survived, and Yituzhiyazhi was involved in politics. They also had two daughters, Yun (雲) known as Subu Juci (须卜居次) and Dangyu Juci (当于居次). Yun was created Princess Yimuo and would later become a powerful figure in Xiongnu politics. Huhanye died in 31 BC and was succeeded by his son Diaotaomogao.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
