There were 100 princesses in the Qing Dynasty, 37 of whom were unmarried. They are the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth women in Fu Lin, and the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, eleventh, twelfth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth women of the sacred ancestor Michelle Ye.
Some of these unmarried princesses died young, but quite a few did not die young, but no one wanted to marry and no one dared to marry. Ancient men were probably unwilling to be "tracheitis" or "bedside table"!
Not all married people live happily. Some of them divorced immediately after they got married. For example, Princess Ye Li of Tang Zhaozong broke up with Ji Li less than a month after she married him. Some of them have been married many times, such as Princess Han of the Western Han Dynasty, who married Ling, Weng and Kuang successively. Princess Xin 'an, a woman from East Jian Wendi in Jin Dynasty, married Huan Ji and Wang Xianzhi successively. Her daughter, Princess Anding, married Wang, and the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Xingxin, married, Pei Ying and yangfu. Princess Guo Ning, the daughter of Henry in Tang Suzong, has married Zheng Xun, Xue Kangheng and Mo Yan. Princess Guo Wei, the true daughter of Yelvzong in Liao Dynasty, married Xiao Saba, Xiao Azu and Xiao Woni successively. Zhao Guo, the princess of Temujin, Yuan Taizu, married Buyan Xiban, Zhenguo and Hehe successively. Princess Lu of Kublai Khan married Gan, Timur and Taitai successively.
As for others, there are also many "full houses" or concubines: for example, Princess Zeng Ze, the daughter of Tuoba _, the great ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, married Lu, and the daughters of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jianxing and Princess Pingyang, both married the same person.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Song of Emperor Wu of Song was betrothed to Chu Zhan as her stepdaughter by a monarch.
Yang Guang, the daughter of Yang Di and Princess Yicheng, married Yan Yu's harem.
Princess Xiao Ningguo, the daughter of Li Wan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, married Uighur Wuying Khan as a "concubine".
In the 50th century, Princess Jinhua, the daughter of Hou Liang Taizu, married Luo Tinggui as her harem.
Princess Temujin of Yuan Taizu married Botou as the heir, Princess Babucha of Kuwa married Newlin as the heir, Princess Lu of Kujin married Qiu as the heir, Brother Qin Mang stabbed a slave girl, Ulun married Solha as the heir, and Ulu, daughter of Ansi Adana, married Newlin as the heir, giving birth to a paste son, the princess married Arth as the heir, and Princess Zhao married Kuo.
From the materials cited above, we can easily see that:
1. Not in all times, all emperors' daughters have no trouble getting married;
2. The daughter of a married emperor is not always superior.
Generally speaking, under the following circumstances, the value of the emperor's daughter and her identity are often not worthy of the name:
1. When the imperial dynasty declined and the local government or warlord occupying the land was stronger than the central government, it was too late. For example, in the late Tang Dynasty, from the literate Li Ang period to the Ye Li period of Zhaozong, only six of the 44 princesses got married, and one of them, Princess Pingyuan, got married on 1 month and divorced in February. Note: Princess Pingyuan's marriage failed, not because she thought she looked down on her husband as a princess, but because he was self-reliant.
2. Ethnic contradiction-this contradiction, to put it bluntly, is that when political contradiction is greater than national reconciliation, the value of "pro-princess" as a means of reconciliation often plummets, and some even risk their lives. For example, princess royal, the daughter of Li Ke, the Great Emperor of Xiliang in the Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries Period, was already engaged to Mao Qian, the third king of Beiliang, but she never got married because Beiliang met Xiliang. For example, Princess Jingle and Princess Fang Yi in the Tang Dynasty had already married Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong of the Khitan Khan, but Li Er saw that the national situation in the Tang Dynasty had been greatly weakened since the Anshi Rebellion, and he didn't want to be a vassal of "Tiankhan" any more. So less than half a year after they got married, they called two beautiful women as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade.
3. The gentry system is not only deeply rooted in people's hearts, but also rooted in people's brains. In this case, although the princess has the status of "the emperor's daughter", she is often not as good as your daughter's aristocratic family. Zheng Hao's hatred of Bai Min, which we mentioned earlier, is a very representative example. Before the Tang Dynasty, even some emperors felt that "noble people" were unattainable. According to historical records, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a minister named Wang Hong in Liu and Song Dynasties, who was a close friend of Emperor Wu of Song Wudi. Although this man is surnamed Wang, he is the king of "no goods" and cannot be among the "literati".
One day he asked the emperor for help, and Emperor Wu of Song said to him: If you want to be a scholar-bureaucrat, the premise is that you can sit with Wang Qiu. You might as well say, listen to me and try. -wrote: "Mao's favorite China scholar said when they met:' To be a scholar, you must sit on the king's ball, but you must be a referee!'" ") Wang Hong, a little stupid dog, really went to visit Wang Qiu's home. When he wanted to sit next to Wang Qiu, Wang Qiu stopped him with a fan and said, "You can't sit." Wang Hong was angry and went back to complain to Emperor Wu, who spread out his hand and said, "I'm not that kind of person!" " I can't help him!
Later, a man named Ji Sangzhen in Wang Hongzhong asked Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty, to be a "scholar". Liu Jun replied, "It's no use asking me to do this. You can try him. " Monk Ji was indeed one of the most trusted ministers, but when he arrived, he suffered the same thing as Wang Hong. After returning, monk Ji really complained to the emperor and replied, "The scholar-officials were not appointed by the emperor!" " "Even the emperor felt that aristocratic families were out of reach, let alone ordinary literati and ordinary people.
We are not textual researchers, let alone textual research for textual research. We spent a lot of ink to show that the emperor's daughter is not always the best in the world. The purpose is nothing more than kindly reminding readers and friends who like to generalize, and don't ignore one thing.
