In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the "difference between concubines and concubines". Concubine has two meanings, one is concubine and concubine, and the other is 嫡子 and 庶子. In ancient times, there was only one wife that the Ming media was marrying, that is, a wife. Other women, no matter how favored, can only be concubines, that is, wives. The son born to a wife is called a concubine, and the son born to a wife is a concubine. Concubines are the patriarchs of the Great Sect, and Concubines are the vassals of the Minor Sects. In the case of a concubine, the concubine has no right to inherit.
If a wife does not have a son, she can also adopt her husband's son. Once a son is adopted, even if he is the son of his wife, he is the head of the patriarch, and he has the right of priority. For example, Empress Ma, the wife of Emperor Hanming, did not come out, but she was deeply loved by Emperor Hanming. Emperor Ming's concubine Jia Guiren gave birth to his son Liu Qi. Empress Ma adopted Liu Qi, who was his wife and concubine, and was made crown prince.
Liu Yi later ascended the throne as emperor and honored Empress Dowager Ma as empress dowager. The birth mother Jia Gui also received "red silk, an che yisi, Yongxiang Palace people 200, the royal palace miscellaneous 20,000 horses, the Great Sinong gold 100 pounds, 20 million yuan." ”
Empress Ma's adoption of Liu Yi was a win-win-win affair. The Horse Queen had a son, and it was for a win. Liu Yi, who was not originally eligible to inherit the throne, inherited the throne because he was adopted, which was a win-win for the second. Jia Shi, a humble concubine, received many rewards after her own son became emperor, which was a win-win for three wins.

In the case of a wife without children, it is very common in the history of the wife to give her own son to her wife for the sake of her son's future. To give another example, when Li Longji was still the crown prince, his wife, the crown princess Wang, did not produce anything, and his wife Yang gave birth to Li Heng.
The Yang clan gave Li Heng to the Wang clan to raise, and Li Heng's identity became noble. Li Heng was later made crown prince, and his adoption by Empress Wang was a plus. After Li Heng became emperor, Yang Shi, who was originally only a concubine, was posthumously honored as Empress Yuanxian of the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient times, when "concubines are different", if a son can be adopted by his mother-in-law, it is definitely a beautiful thing that can change his destiny. Under normal circumstances, wives give birth to sons, and they are eager to be adopted by their wives. There are exceptions to everything, during the Sui Dynasty, there was a person named Yang Yu, who originally had the throne to inherit, but was killed by a stupid woman born of a concubine.
Yang Yu's father was Yang Yong, the Prince of Sui, his biological mother was Yun Zhaoxun, and his mother-in-law was Crown Princess Yuan. The Yuan clan was a descendant of the Northern Wei imperial family, the yuan's great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and grandfather were all prime ministers, and the yuan's father, Yuan Xiaoji, was a general with heavy troops. In order to join forces with the Yuan family to replace Northern Zhou, Yang Jian asked his eldest son Yang Yong to marry Yuan Shi as his wife.

After Yang insisted on becoming emperor, Yang Yong was made crown prince, and the Yuan clan naturally became a crown princess. The Yuan clan did not come out, and Yang Yong and the Yun clan gave birth to a son Yang Yu. When Yun Gave Birth to Yang Yu, he was still in the outer chamber, neither a wife nor a concubine, nor a concubine, nor a name. Yang Yong hugged Yang Jian and told Yang Jian and Dugu Jia luo: "Father Emperor, Mother Queen, you have grandchildren, this is your eldest grandson Yang Yu." ”
Although Yang Jian was emperor, he had never been a grandfather. Although Lonely Garo was an empress, she had never been a grandmother. Emperor Wen of Sui and the Dugu Empress were grandparents for the first time, and they were very happy. Immediately, Yang Yu was crowned the King of Changning, and the Yun clan was also crowned Zhaoxun. After yun became Zhaoxun, he became a concubine from the outer chamber, which can also be regarded as a famous name.
Yang Yu is the trump card in the hands of Yun Zhaoxun, and if Yun Zhaoxun plays this trump card well, the future will be unlimited. If Yun Zhaoxun was smart enough, he could have a good relationship with the crown princess and let the princess adopt Yang Yu, the king of Changning. In this way, Yang Yu became the concubine of the crown princess, and his position was very stable. If Yun Zhaoxun operated in this way, there would be a win-win situation like Empress Ma, Jia Guiren, and Liu Qi.
Even if Yun Zhaoxun was reluctant to give Yang Yu to the crown princess, he could also have a good relationship with the princess. Anyway, the crown princess could not give birth to children, and according to the principle of no concubine, Yang Yu, the eldest son of The Concubine, was also Yang Yong's first heir to the throne. As long as Yun Zhaoxun was outwardly polite to the Crown Princess, Yang Yu's future would be bright.

Yun Zhaoxun was a very, very stupid person. God gave Yun Zhaoxun a good-looking leather bag, but did not give her a normal person's IQ brain. Instead of passing Yang Yu over to the Crown Princess, Yun Zhaoxun competed with the Crown Princess for the wind and jealousy. Using concubines to overwing wives was a matter of etiquette and happiness in ancient times, which was not tolerated by public opinion. Lonely Garo couldn't look at it, so he took the lead for his daughter-in-law.
Yun Zhaoxun was taught a lesson by her mother-in-law, and she remembered Yang Yu's trump card. If Yun Zhaoxun had the iq of a normal person, she should teach Yang Yu to please Grandma Lonely Garo. Instead of teaching his son to curry favor with his grandmother, Yun Zhaoxun threatened Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu with Yang Yu. Yang Yu was originally raised by his grandparents, and Yun Zhaoxun trained several times and asked the crown prince Yang Yong to snatch Yang Yu back.
Grandparents want to hold grandchildren, and concubines and daughters-in-law do not let grandparents hold grandchildren. This is not a novel passage, this is the historical material recorded in the "Book of Sui" of the Zhengshi, the original text is: "Changning was born, Gaozu and the empress hugged and raised it together, embraced each other, and sent them to Suo." ”
The Book of Sui records that Yun Zhaoxun killed the crown princess Yuanshi and robbed Yang Yu with the Dugu Empress. Because of these two events, the Dugu Empress was completely dead to Yang Yong and Yun Zhaoxun, so she persuaded Yang Jian to depose the crown prince. After careful consideration, Yang Jian deposed the crown prince Yang Yong. Yang Jian deposed the crown prince, there is a very important reason: "Yun Dingxing's daughter, born in the outside world, thinks of this origin, why should it be her body Yin!" The Prince of Xijin took the daughter of the butcher family, and his son was good at slaughtering. Now that it is not of the same kind, it will chaos the sect. ”
The meaning of Yang Jian's words is very clear: "The Jiangshan of Yuan, no matter what, will not let the illegitimate son Yang Yu inherit." ”
If nothing else, Yang Yong is the future Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. As the eldest son of Yang Yong, Yang Yu was definitely the first candidate for the position of crown prince. Yun Zhaoxun always used Yang Yu to threaten Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu, and Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu became angry and did not recognize this eldest grandson.
If Yun Zhaoxun was smarter, let the Crown Princess adopt Yang Yu. Yang Yu is not an illegitimate son, but the eldest son of a concubine, and will be inherited from the throne in the future. If Yun Zhaoxun had the intelligence of a normal person and did not provoke Emperor Wen of Sui and the Dugu Empress, the crown prince Yang Yong would not necessarily be deposed, and the eldest son Yang Yu would still have the throne to inherit.
Unfortunately, Yun Zhaoxun was too stupid to pit Yang Yong's position as prince. Yun Zhaoxun was too stupid, not only did he pit Yang Yu's succession to the throne, but he also pit Yang Li's head. Yang Yu's stall for such a stupid mother is really unlucky.
