Many people say that the Chinese ancients have three wives and four concubines, in fact, there is a problem with this statement, the ancients implemented a strict monogamous and polygamous concubine system, and the gap between the names of concubines is large, you can't imagine, recall the situation of Madame Wang and Aunt Zhao in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
(Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty)
The ancients could take concubines, provided you had to have money to raise, but the horse was an exception, after all, his wife was not an ordinary person, but the daughter of a king. Concubine, where does the princess's face rest? Where does the Emperor's face rest? If the horse wants to make a request, it has to be tortured by the emperor's soul, is it my daughter who is not fragrant or your neck is itchy?
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he set up the Fengche Du Wei, the Horse Du Wei and the Riding Du Wei in one go, called "Three Du Wei", and the official rank was "Than Two Thousand Stones", which was equivalent to the four or five pin officials in later generations. According to the current rank, the ancient lieutenant was equivalent to the current city armed minister.
Because in ancient times, the emperor generally traveled with many cars, and the driver who gave the emperor the main car was called the Fengche Du Wei, and the other covered up deputy cars as the driver was called the Horse Du Wei, and the Riding Du Wei was responsible for protecting the safety of the Emperor.
The first lieutenant in history was the Xiongnu Jin Ribao, who was also one of the four ministers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Of course, at this time, the lieutenant of the donkey horse had nothing to do with the horse.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's adopted son He Yan married Cao Cao's daughter Princess Jinxiang, and it was He Yan who served as the lieutenant of the horse, and at this time the marriage of the princess began to associate with the horse. Thereafter, it became a custom, and once married to a princess, she was granted the official position of lieutenant of the horse. After all, after marrying someone else's daughter, there is no problem in helping the husband drive a car as a driver, not to mention that the son-in-law drives, and the husband is at ease.
Speaking of which, He Yan and this Princess Jin Xiang were very promising. He Yan was the grandson of the late Han general He Jin, and later He Yan's mother Yin Shi was married home by Cao Cao and took great care of He Yan as an adopted son. At that time, Lü Bu's general Qin Yilu's wife Lady Du was very beautiful, and it is said that this Lady Du was the prototype of the marten cicada, and Guan Yu had asked Cao Cao for marriage many times.
Cao Cao's classmates are cunning and cunning, seeing that the second master is so attentive, do you think there is anything strange? So he summoned Lady Du, and sure enough, she was very beautiful, so she did not allow it, and she married herself back home and gave birth to the Princess of Jinxiang.
Princess He Yanqu Jinxiang, ren horse soothing. In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was also a very famous donkey, Ma Duo Du Pre, who married Princess Gaolu, the daughter of Sima Yi. Du Pre was also one of the commanders of the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy Wu, and he also had a very famous descendant, that is, the great poet Du Fu.
Back to the main topic, a donkey horse cannot take a concubine, and a horse cannot be remarried after the princess dies. I was looking up some famous horses in ancient times, such as How Yan, Du Pre, Zhou Shengzhi, and others, and there was no record of their other concubines. Of course, not marrying does not mean that there will be no other women, for example, the history books record that He Yan is very, and this lustful should not only refer to casual looking, right?
(Princess Gaoyang of Tang)
Compared to a donkey, the princess is much more free. It is an open secret for the princess to raise noodles, for example, Princess Taiping not only raises her own noodles, but also delivers goods to her mother Wu Zetian.
Tang Taizong's favorite daughter, Princess Gaoyang, married Fang Yi'ai, the son of Fang Xuanling, a tang dynasty hero. The case of this Princess of Gaoyang and the monk of the Debater has been passed down for thousands of years. The debater monk was very large, not only a famous monk at that time, but also a writer of the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" and an apprentice of Tang Xuanzang.
(Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu)
After the death of the horse, the princess can also remarry, the most famous is the three remarriages of the Princess of Pingyang in the Han Dynasty, the first marriage to Cao Shou after the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, Cao Shou after the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, Xiahou Po after the second marriage to Xiahou Bao, and the third marriage to the general Wei Qing.
Even marrying three horses, Princess Kefu of Pingyang, four empresses are not allowed to die well, and Emperor Wu of Han ke's wife are all people with hard fate. Coincidentally, Princess Pingyang was the sister of Emperor Wu of Han, and Wei Zifu was also taken away by Emperor Wu of Han from princess Pingyang's house.
In addition to marrying the princess to the meritorious xungui court Wenwu, "peace" is another fate of the princesses, such as Wang Zhaojun marrying the Xiongnu, and Princess Wencheng taking Tubo.
Princesses and relatives, this kind of alternative "donkey horse" is naturally a different matter. The Xiongnu Shan Yu had a lot of Fu clans, Songzan Gampo in addition to marrying Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, as well as Princess Ruzun of Nepal and other people, so the rules also depend on people's meals.
