In ancient China, in order to stabilize his own Jiangshan society, the emperor often did some unusual things, although these things were placed in the folk and were difficult to be accepted by people, but in the imperial family to face such things, which could not be escaped.
A typical example is that the emperor will choose the children of his ministers and send them to the palace as concubines, and the daughters of the emperor's own family will be used as political tools and sent to other places for peace, such as the earliest Wang Zhaojun out of the plug, and the later Tang Dynasty Princess Wencheng, which are typical examples, there are also a small number of princesses loved by the emperor, then the emperor will personally choose horses for them, one is to hope that his daughters are safe and happy, and the other is to reduce a series of unnecessary troubles in the future.
In the ordinary people's homes in ancient China, they are very important to the uncle, there is an old saying in the folk, called an aunt half a child, this sentence is enough to prove the importance of ordinary families to the uncle, after all, the son-in-law is also an indispensable part of the family, for those poor families, they do not ask for money, do not seek fame, do not seek profit, only seek their daughters can get happiness, which is already very satisfied for ordinary people.
Therefore, the family often loves the son-in-law very much, and the ordinary people's families are still like this, not to mention the imperial family, the princess who took the national color Tianxiang and became a dragon and phoenix among the people, which should be a very happy thing, whether it is money or power, everything is available, but is the emperor's son-in-law really so easy to do?
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a very special situation, whether it was the emperor at that time or the son of the minister was very afraid of becoming a donkey, according to common sense, the horse should be very competitive, but that period was different, people mostly avoided being a horse, because during the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty royal requirements for the horse were too strict.
They will let the horse and the princess have another relationship before they get married, and this other relationship is actually to find a trial marriage palace girl, let the trial marriage palace girl stay with the horse for a period of time, and then test whether the horse can be passed on from generation to generation, if the horse can meet this requirement, then it can continue, and after the horse and the princess are married, the trial marriage palace girl who was given to the horse before becomes the concubine of the horse.
Before the princess officially married the horse, the royal family will often build a special mansion for the princess, that is, the princess house is often said to be the princess house, the princess house will often be built very gorgeous, whether it is the material of the building, or the shape, it is much better than the usual building, after all, the ancient royal family is very face-saving, if the mansion built for the princess is too simple, it is not a loss of royal face.
At the same time, when the princess married in the past, the dowry carried was also very rich, these dowries are often very precious gold and silver treasures, jewelry, ordinary people may not see so much treasure in their lifetime, and will also bring a large number of servants, retinues to marry the horse, but these properties and servants, are under the control of the princess, the horse basically has no power, so in ancient China, the horse looks more like an accessory, they have to listen to the princess's command at any time, It looked like a servant in the princess's house.
After the horse and the princess get married, the horse must not cheat, and he can no longer marry a daughter-in-law, there is a more outrageous rule, that is, the horse and his family can not hold any official position in the imperial court, the horse and the princess in ordinary life, to be responsible for taking care of the princess's living life, wholeheartedly treat the princess, ancient China has always been a male domination society of men, but in the royal family, it is often different.
Although the donkey is also male, but in the process of marriage with the princess, it is like a servant, without any dignity, there is no right to speak at home, and it is impossible to show his talents outside, if the horse provokes the princess to be unhappy, it may also be dismissed by the princess, and even be beaten into the dungeon, which is enough to see the humility of the horse.
During the Tang Dynasty, after the princess married a donkey, she could also raise male pets, and the donkey could not make any opposition, and could only listen to it, so it was not easy to be a donkey in ancient China.
