Tulan Qaghan (Chinese: 都蘭可汗/都兰可汗, Pinyin: dōulán kěhàn, Wade-Giles: tu-lan k'o-han, Middle Chinese (Guangyun): [tu˥lɑn˩ kʰɑ˥ɣɑn˩˥], personal name: 阿史那雍虞閭/阿史那雍虞闾, āshǐnà yōngyúlǘ, a-shih-na yung-yü-lü) was the seventh qaghan (Khaqan) of the Turkic Khaganate and the son of Ishbara Qaghan.

Reign

In 593 he collected enough power to stop paying taxes to Emperor Wendi. His wife Princess Qianjin secretly plotted with the khagan's rival Tuli (who claimed the throne in 593) to attack the Sui Empire when her husband refused to do so. This plot was exposed by Chang sun-sheng, a spy of the Sui Empire. Tulan Qaghan combined his forces with Tardu in 599 and launched an invasion on Sui, but he was assassinated by his own men in 599.

Family

He married his father's wife, Northern Zhou's Princess Qianjin, now known under the Sui dynasty title Princess Dayi. Her new name was given to her by the Sui Emperor Wendi in order to create a marriage alliance with the Turks.
