For the ancient kings, it was not an easy task to ascend to the throne of God, and it was even more difficult to defend the country after that. But people live in the world, no matter how capable people are, they can't escape the word lust and desire, so in order to be able to grasp the hearts of their courtiers, the emperor may use money to envelop them, or the so-called marriage of marriage, so as to make the royal and the major families and families cut the relationship between the family and the family, in case of unforeseen needs. Only the emperor laughed, the minister was happy, but no one cared about the princess who had already become a victim. They are indeed born to enjoy the best resources in the country, but correspondingly they also need to give their lives.
For the selection of the horse, it is natural that it is not randomly chosen, and the so-called true love that we fantasize about in our hearts is almost non-existent in the era of rampant power. For the horse this candidate is quite demanding, not only need to have a strong background, personal ability also need to be very outstanding, the most important husband and wife between the life needs to be harmonious, but at that time is not like modern society, before marriage to talk about love, everything feels that there is no problem, and finally choose to get married. At that time, the parents negotiated well, and the marriage was equivalent to being settled, and as for what the parties' opinions were, not many people would care.
But even so, the harmonious life between husband and wife is still very telling, so the royal family has issued the "unspoken rules" that everyone tacitly accepts. When a princess marries, the pomp and circumstance will naturally not be small, and when she marries into her husband's family, she will also bring a large number of servants to serve herself, in addition to serving the food, clothing, and housing on weekdays, the duty of having a servant is more special. Because she not only had to take good care of the princess, but also to serve the horses, of course, this waiting was also about the husband and wife. The existence of these people is naturally tacitly approved by the emperor, after all, the royal family needs heirs to flourish and have outstanding abilities, so everything must be grasped from the source.
In this way, the dowry palace women also came into being, they will be sent to the horse house to serve one night before the princess gets married, and the next day they will be sent back to the palace again after completing the task, and then they will report to the emperor and empress what they have seen and heard in the quasi-horse house the night before, private matters and some of their own opinions, if she says well, the emperor and empress will naturally be very happy, and this marriage can proceed smoothly; if she says it is not good, the marriage is not counted, and the whole quasi-horse house will be implicated. Even the horse-to-be himself would be charged with deception.
These things in the development of thousands of years, has long become the default unspoken rule of everyone, but pity those palace women, sacrificing themselves may not necessarily get benefits, in case the princess encounters unhappiness after marrying, they are still dead, after all, they are slaves, and the princess is the master. A little luckier may be made a concubine, as a half master, but so what, her life is not firmly in the hands of others, let her three more dead, she will not live five more.
But even with premarital experiments, in fact, most princesses' married life is still unhappy, after all, the starting point is not to run to their happiness. As children of the royal family, since they enjoy the best resources in the country, they are bound to sacrifice something for these things, and as women without the strength of chickens, they can only sacrifice their happiness and the rest of their lives. And even if they get married, the two of them can't get along like folk couples, after all, there is not only a difference in status, but also a binding of power.
In this way, most of them can only struggle in this loveless marriage until they completely lose their expectations of the world and leave. According to the survey, since the Shunzhi dynasty, a total of 31 gege have been canonized, but more than two-thirds of them have died before the age of 50, and even a few have died before the age of 20. The circumstances at that time and the initial starting point determined the occurrence of the whole tragedy, but they were pitiful to become victims, and what did they do wrong?
