We have all heard of the ancient Chinese system of "peace and affinity", which refers to the monarch of the Central Plains Dynasty or the monarch who considers himself to be an orthodox Chinese country, marrying himself or his daughter or other women in the country to the monarch of the vassal state or regarded as Yidi or to show friendship between the two countries, enhance mutual relations, and marry with political purposes.
And relatives, the bitter is only the women at that time, and generally marry the princess, but at that time, there will still be many emperors who will do one thing is to send a "fake" princess over, but is this really not afraid of being discovered?
As the old saying goes: "Straight waist is not afraid of being beaten", this sentence may be the most fundamental reason why the emperor is not afraid, because as long as it is strong enough and the dynasty is prosperous enough, it is not afraid of other people's ideas, and there is no need to be looked at by others, so the emperor is to seize this point, even if the princess he sent to the past is just a fake, and the object of the kiss can not be how, even if he is not convinced, he can only endure this breath, this is the reality.
In fact, from another point of view, who is the rotation, is also unwilling to send the daughter he raised from childhood to the far away to marry a man he has never known. And it is very likely that it will become a trophy, a victim, a punching bag, and it is out of such a consideration that it will be replaced by a counterfeit in the past.
Even if there will be fears of ruining this peace and leading to a war between the two countries. But there will still be a risk, plus ancient women have never been out of the boudoir, even if they really replace her, who knows? Who dares to say what they know?
In fact, the other aspect of this matter is also a direct reflection of the importance of identity, the noble princess can escape the disaster, but the replaced woman is not allowed to resist, this is human nature, the dark point of society.
We all know that in ancient times, the women who were close to the princess were all in order to consolidate the status of the country, and the political significance of which was far greater than the happiness of a princess, and the status of the princess and the princess mainly depended on whether her country was strong or not.
There are also many countries, not only married to the past princess is a real princess, but also really married to someone else as a little wife, a concubine, this is because her country is not strong enough, so she can only be slaughtered, even if she is really abused and killed, it may be that no one will tell her injustice.
Although there will be emperors who are reluctant to send their daughters over, there are still many, many real princesses in history who have died because of peace. For example, Wang Zhaojun, who has a very deep memory in history, suffered a lot in a foreign country in other places, and finally could only take poison to commit suicide and suffer humiliation, but Wang Zhaojun was only thirty-three years old, and a woman fell like this.
Although many women in the Tang Dynasty were women who had faked the past, there were still many real women in the Tang Dynasty who married and kissed in the past.
For example, the emerging princess at that time, she was tang Taizong's own daughter, or she could not escape the arrangement of fate. Just accepting the emperor's orders, such helplessness is unimaginable, how much disappointment, how much fear, how unfair the Tang Dynasty was to women at that time, but there is no way, no one has the ability to defend the dignity of women?
