Friends who have heard Guo Degang's cross-talk or watched some Qing DYNASTY TV dramas may know that there were eight "Iron Hat Kings" in the Qing Dynasty (and later four "Iron Hat Kings"), which were the top of the Qing Dynasty's royal family. Guo Degang even grabbed the "Iron Hat King", jokingly calling his partner Yu Qian's ancestor the so-called "Green Hat King". So what exactly are the eight "Iron Hat Kings" of the Qing Dynasty?
As we all know, the Qing Dynasty was established because of the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, from the entry of the customs, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty began to sum up the lessons of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. After some summary, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty believed that the Excessive And Excessive Clan Titles of the Ming Dynasty led to the depletion of the Ming Dynasty's finances, which was one of the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. So the Qing Dynasty, which had learned its lessons, established the so-called ""
Hereditary descent
"System.
“
It refers to the fact that the titles of the Qing Dynasty royal family will be demoted with hereditary, such as the father is the prince, the son is the county king, the grandson is the baylor, and the heavy grandson is the shell, and the treatment will also be demoted. According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, the concubines who inherited the title would be reduced to the auxiliary state
Generals so far, and can not inherit the ancestors
The collateral of the title will be reduced to the "idle clan room" without the title.
However, eight princes made great contributions in the process of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty specifically allowed the titles of these eight princes to be "hereditary", that is, they would not be demoted with hereditary succession. The eight princes were: Daishan the Prince of Li, Zilharang the Prince of Zheng, Dolgun the Prince of Rui, Duoduo the Prince of Yu, Hauge the Prince of Su, Shuosai the Prince of Zhuang, Yue Tuo the Prince of Keqin County, and Leke Dehun the King of Shuncheng County.
Because of this, the Qing Dynasty people called these eight princes who could be "hereditary" "iron hat kings". This is the so-called "Eight Iron Hat Kings". In addition to the "Eight Iron Hat Kings", the Qing Dynasty later added four "Iron Hat Kings" (
