Many TV dramas have a scene in which the princess is sent to saiwai and pro. Either the emperor took the initiative to marry the princess, or the small country of Biansai asked the emperor to achieve peace.
The princess's reaction was generally strong resistance, and even if she reluctantly agreed, she could not help but burst into tears. Born in the imperial family, they enjoyed glory and wealth, and their disadvantage was that they could not let themselves choose their lives.
On the surface, peace and affinity are conducive to the stability of the border, but in fact the effect is minimal. The only pity is the princess, even if they do not kiss them, they still cannot choose their own happiness, and they will still be reduced to pawns to consolidate the imperial power.
But at least there is no need to leave home and go to a completely unfamiliar place to live and live, how many people in a foreign country can tell their sorrows?
Princesses existed almost universally throughout the dynasties, until they reached their peak during the Qing Dynasty. The number of princesses and princesses is not small, but few people pay attention to their lives.
In a sense, they belonged to the minority groups of that era and deserved more attention. In addition, many princesses have married to Mongolia but have no heirs, which must have another hidden plot
。
First, and pro-truth
Excellent actor Yang Mi once played the role of Wang Zhaojun, who suffered from the calculations of villains in the palace. The original appearance was overwhelming, but it was maliciously ugly by the painter and caused him not to be pampered, and he did not even have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
Just when the Xiongnu wanted to make peace with the princess, the real princess was so favored that the emperor naturally did not want her to marry the Hun.
The emperor was preparing to find a suitable candidate to be crowned princess and Xiongnu and relative, and Wang Zhaojun was at this time pushed by people with hearts to become the emperor and his relatives.
If it were another woman, she might cry incessantly, but Wang Zhaojun did not do so, but calmly accepted this mission. Even if the emperor regretted being attracted to her beauty for a while, Wang Zhaojun was willing to give up the opportunity to stay in his hometown
Wang Zhaojun, who married the Xiongnu, taught Han Culture to the Xiongnu and helped the Xiongnu king rule over the various ministries.
The Huns gave her a high status and high respect, and she devoted her life to peace between the two tribes. This is the famous Zhaojun out of the plug, she is a famous Chinese and foreign princess and pro-princess
Through this story, it can be known that almost no one regards the peace and kiss as happiness, and the peace princess is a role that everyone is disrespectful to. The emperor was the direct beneficiary of the peace, because the peace and the peace of the territory could be guaranteed
。 Strong dynasties and relatives are meant to give comfort to others, which means that they support each other without aggression, and this kind of reconciliation is not necessary but a reward, and many small countries desperately strive for opportunities.
At this time, the status of marrying a princess will be high, but it is not guaranteed to be so for life.
In other words, the situation of the pro-princess is closely related to the situation. The candidate for the princess will not be a princess with royal blood, but at the expense of the happiness of ordinary people.
On the contrary, the decaying dynasties and relatives are to win life to avoid war, which means using kinship to discourage the idea of aggression from others.
This kind of reconciliation is necessary and urgent, and it is ridiculous to pin all your hopes on women. Such behaviour is undoubtedly too late to make amends and does not essentially change the situation.
The reason for the decline of the imperial court was that the wrong leadership of the emperor or the corruption and incompetence of the officials could not be fundamentally purged by the court.
At this time, the princesses of Peace and Kiss may not be able to get respect, and their lives are undoubtedly difficult. Only a princess of a distinguished status can show sincerity, and even if the emperor loves his daughter very much, I am afraid that he can only endure the pain of love.
No king would give up his country for the sake of his children, and power would wear out the last bit of affection.
Like Wang Zhaojun, there are very few princesses who can win respect and pro-princesses, and she uses her petite body to build a bridge of friendship between the two peoples. Maybe the original peace relatives were only for cultural transmission and symbolism of peace,
It is only slowly being used by the powerful to become a political tool.
In the real struggle for interests, no one cares whether there is a kinship or not, and brothers can still kill the killer.
No one gives up on ambition because of a marriage, and ruthlessness is synonymous with them. After marrying a princess, it is rarely mentioned, and perhaps only the time of death will be recorded in the end
2. No heirs
According to the records, it is not difficult to find that the princesses who married to Mongolia generally had no heirs, which is not a coincidence but an ulterior motive.
All this stemmed from the Mongol vice of using human factors to prevent the princess from conceiving. They feared that their heirs would affect their ambitions, so they simply cut off all obstacles
The most pitiful thing is undoubtedly the princess who lost her original power. This act shows that the Mongols never placed peace in an important position, and the absence of heirs meant that the death of the princess was equivalent to the end of the contract, and they were ready to start war
。 If the relationship needs to be maintained, they will ask for the princess again, and only the princess will be sacrificed.
Perhaps they disdain the genetic union with the Han Chinese, and the Mongols have always maintained an untamed demeanor. They call themselves eagles on the prairie and yearn for freedom and freedom.
Perhaps they are out of consideration for their children, after all, the status of the princess is not high, and the children born are afraid that they will be ridiculed and ridiculed, but it is better to let the children be spared from this harm.
Third, the situation is difficult
This makes the situation even more difficult for the princesses, who need to endure the competition between the concubines and jealousy, but they cannot have a stable position as children.
Having children may be able to obtain a spiritual sustenance that allows them to temporarily forget the pain of reality. They miss their parents and homeland, but they have no way to return to their hometowns
They are not adapted to a wide variety of customs and rituals, but they have no right to refuse and are forced to accept. They were once pampered children, and they grew up under the protection of their parents but suffered changes in status, and collapse was inevitable
。 They endure the gossip of those around them, but they can't find friends who can open their hearts.
However, the role of their silent sacrifice is minimal, they cannot be praised by people at all, and they can only disappear in the long river of history.
Occasionally, when they meet the right husband, they can harvest love and happiness, which can be described as a blessing in disguise, but this situation is not the norm. The status of ancient women was ultimately low, and even if you were a princess, you could not get rid of it.
4. Summary
Princess Heqin included not only princesses who had married various tribes from the imperial court, but also princesses from border tribes who were sent to the royal family as gifts. Although the identities of the two are different, the pain they endure is the same.
They galloped on the grasslands in their youth and possessed superb riding and archery skills. They love a life without restraints and yearn for a free and romantic future.
However, when he grew up, he was sent to the palace and left his favorite hometown and the teenager he liked. Once you enter the palace door, it is as deep as the sea, and there is no possibility of regaining the past
。 There is no point in such a system for a group of young girls who are in the midst of a beautiful life and are bound by unwarranted righteousness. If history can repeat itself, it is hoped that the dynasties and dynasties can remember the original intention of peace and affinity, which is to blend cultures rather than consolidate imperial power.
