A friend wrote an online article and asked me whether it was reasonable for a woman to be crowned a marquis.
I have the impression that there are only two people who have been enthroned.
One is Xu Negative in the late Qin and early Han dynasties.
One is Qin Liangyu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
All of this wen and wu are all enfeoffed as women under specific time and space conditions.
Nothing else.
Although the friend wrote the palace fighting text, but in history, even in the alternate history, there is no precedent for women to be marquises, but it is only love between heroes and heroines, small fights, and it is still difficult to face the entire feudal dynasty to give women a marquis.
Although it is difficult for me to give her any advice on the plot, it is still very simple to help find the real "female marquis" in history and give her as a reference.
Xuan Zhi and Xuan, Ming Hen Hou Xu Negative
The first thing that can be determined is that xu negative this person is real.
The "Chronicle of History" records her two major prophecies: one is to predict that Bo Ji will become the mother of the Son of Heaven, and the other is to predict that Zhou Yafu will starve to death.
When Xu Negative made a prophecy for Bo Ji, Bo Ji was still the wife of Wei Bao, a prince of the party. Wei Bao's boss was Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, but he was not welcomed by Xiang Zong. Originally, Wei Bao himself had conquered more than twenty cities in Wei and was also crowned the King of Wei. As a result, because Xiang Zong looked at this land, he directly moved him to Hedong County. Therefore, when Liu Bang called, Wei Bao directly followed Xiang Yu.
Unexpectedly, Peng Cheng's game, or Xiang Zongmeng, thought of rebelling against Liu Bang again. Hesitating, Xu Negative said that Wei Bao's wife was the mother of the future Tianzi.
Wei Bao pinched his fingers, my daughter-in-law is the mother of the future Tianzi, I am the husband of the future Tianzi mother, then I am the first emperor!
Then I'll have to stand up!"
Wei Bao did not expect that the "First Emperor" might be able to start a business and the middle road would collapse.
Soon after, Wei Bao hung up, and Bo Ji entered Liu Bang's harem and gave birth to the future Han Emperor Liu Heng.
Wei Bao didn't expect that he himself thought that he could at least mix with a "former emperor", but the result was just an "ex-husband brother".
Zhou Yafu's business was simpler.
When he was young, he invited Xu Negative to look at him, and the old lady glanced at him.
You... Three years of marquisship, eight years of phase, and nine years of ah... starve.
Zhou Yafu said that when I didn't ask...
What a mess! After all the marquises have been worshipped, can I still starve to death?
I didn't expect that Xu Negative's words would be fulfilled one by one. Zhou Yafu was really made a marquis, but he was imprisoned for secretly hiding a shield.
But this matter Zhou Yafu felt wronged.
His son bought him to accompany him to the funeral, but he himself was not discouraged, so why did the official family not forgive him?
He gambled and went on a hunger strike.
In the history of Zhengshi, he wanted to explore the traces of Xu Negative again, and it was when Emperor Wu of Han arrived.
At that time, Guo Xie, a top folk star, was her grandson.
However, in these three records, there is no explicit mention of Xu Fenghou.
At present, the source that can be found is the "Spring and Autumn of the Chu Han Dynasty" written by Lu Jia of the Western Han Dynasty.
It is mentioned: "Gao Zu was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Minghei Pavilion, and he was also a concubine of the Zhi Woman."
The name of Hou Xu of minghei pavilion also came from this.
However, Pei Songzhi expressed doubts about the authenticity of the marquis in the Notes on the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. The Marquis of Minghenting belonged to the first level of Tinghou, while han Gaozu was divided into more senior county marquises, and at that time, they did not reach the level of township marquis and Tinghou. Therefore, the statement that Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, made Xu Negative the Marquis of Minghei Ting, is more like a legend and story that originates from worship and thus spreads falsehoods.
Mo Dao skirt is not a general, and does not teach men to be alone
If Xu Fenghou is just a legend, then Qin Liangyu is a solid martial arts marquis.
Just like the female general of Yang Men in "Yang Family General", Qin Liangyu has made great achievements in battle, just look at a large list of names on her inscription.
Ming Shang Pillar Kingdom
Dr. Guanglu
The town guarded the local governor of Sichuan and other places
Han Tu officers and men
Hanging Zhendong General Seal
The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army
Left Governor
Prince Taibao
Marquis of Zhongzhen
After this long list, even if the Dragon Mother came, she had to weigh it.
Although Qin Liangyu was both literate and martial, she did not have an official position at the beginning.
Her husband, Ma Qiancheng, was a hereditary toastmaster, and Qin Liangyu had been following him on his crusades.
In a counter-rebellion, she and Ma Qiancheng charged forward, breaking seven camps in a row, and achieving the first battle.
However, after the counter-rebellion, Qin Liangyu did not report his military merits.
Later, Ma Qiancheng was falsely accused and died of illness in prison.
Because their children were too young, Qin Liangyu took over their duties. It was also from this time that Qin Liangyu officially stepped onto the stage of history as a party coach.
Qin Liangyu's most famous story of a monarch originated from Chongzhen's three-year entry into the capital Qin King. At that time, it had reached the end of the "change of his own body", the Emperor Taiji had already taken the four cities of Yongping, and the capital division was in danger.
Qin Liangyu went to Beijing at his own expense, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was very impressed, personally summoned, rewarded, and then gave four poems in recognition of her merits.
"Try to see him on the Lin Pavilion, Dan Qing first drew a beautiful picture"
This poem of Chongzhen can be seen as a high degree of official affirmation.
Throughout the dynasties, strange women have all been included in the biography of women, and Qin Liangyu is the only hero in history who is listed separately as a famous general of the dynasty.
However, even for Qin Liangyu, whose title of "Marquis of Zhongzhen" was still controversial.
In the "History of Ming", Qin Liangyu was enthroned as erpin and was entrusted with the command of The Palm Seal of the Stone Pillar.
In the Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen crowned her as the Crown Prince Taibao and the Marquis of Zhongzhen.
In the "History of southern Ming", the one who made her crown prince Taibao became the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the one who was given the title was not the Marquis of Zhongzhen, but the Marquis of Zhongzhou. It was not until Qin Liangyu's death that he was loyal.
There are contradictions in these accounts. The main body of the conferment is different, and the name and time of the conferral are not right, which inevitably makes people suspicious.
This has also become a haze that is difficult for women to erase by virtue of their martial arts.
A down-to-earth marquis, full of private feelings and plots
In addition to the well-known "Lady of the Commandments", in ancient times, there were also rewards for women.
The so-called "men are crowned princes, women are crowned princes" is a description of this situation.
According to the Book of Zhou, there are five ranks of knighthood, which is known as "Gonghou Bozi male".
Later, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, the Shang martingale reformulated the twenty-level military merit titles by the level of military merit, of which the highest-ranking Guannei Marquis and Che Hou were what we often call "Marquis".
Therefore, in the final analysis, "Hou" needs solid martial arts accumulation to be able to get the reward. It can be seen from this that it is indeed difficult for Xu Fu to obtain the throne by virtue of his divine appearance, and a hero like Qin Liangyu is closer to the conditions for the reward.
There are exceptions, however. Just as I was about to make up my mind, I found four "authentic" marquises with exact records.
The so-called Han Chengqin system, Liu Bang followed the Qin Dynasty's twenty-level military merit system, and was crowned marquis with martial arts.
However, Liu Zong and his wife Lü Zong each had two female marquises.
The first female marquis was personally awarded by Liu Zong. This award is quite sad.
Liu Zong's general Xi Juanxiao was brave and good at war, and his battle achievements could be compared with that of the fierce general Fan Duo, who was the first to ascend in each battle, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield and could not wait for the day when he was crowned marquis.
The so-called wife yinzi, Xi Juan's family has a reason to inherit his glory. Unfortunately, Xi Juan did not have children. Liu Bang, grief-stricken, made Xi Juan's mother the Marquis of Lu.
Compared with the warmth of the first marquise's award, the second marquis's reward is more or less stingy.
Liu Zongzi Ji, the so-called "Bo Zhong Uncle Ji", Liu Zong's name of "Liu Laosan" is known to everyone in the village.
Since it is the third oldest, there must be the eldest and the second on it.
Liu Bang claimed the title of empress dowager, and also rewarded his relatives, except for the sons of the old people.
The newly sealed Emperor Taishang asked Liu Zong what was going on.
What a "bold" person Liu Zongna is, directly confessing:
The eldest sister-in-law did not bother with me, seeing that their family was not pleasing to the eye.
Interestingly, Liu Zong did not mention the matter of military merit, and directly sealed the daughter-in-law of the second eldest as the Marquis of Yin'an.
Just ask your sister-in-law if she is satisfied.
When the second chairman, Mr. Lu, took the throne, he borrowed Mr. Liu's old wisdom.
At that time, Lü Zong ascended to the throne, and he sealed Zhu Lü in a big way, and when he arrived at his sister Lü Zi, he didn't know what to seal.
Lü Miao's deceased husband was Marquis Fan of Wuyang, and the throne had been passed to his son.
Lu Zong pondered that when my old man was alive, he was made the marquis of his second sister-in-law and the marquis of his beloved female family.
So I add two buffs together, and it's okay to seal my sister, right?
So Mr. Lü made a decision and made Lü Wei the Marquis of Linguang.
The last female marquis was similar to Lu Hou, but slightly different.
In that year, when the world was pacified, Liu Zong discussed the reward of merit and the division of the princes, and Xiao He was rated as the first merit and was named the Marquis of Fu.
After Xiao He's death, his son Xiao Lu inherited, but within a few years Xiao Lu also died.
Originally, Xiao Lu had no children, and the throne would pass to Xiao He's other heirs.
Lü Hou waved a big hand and passed it on to Xiao He's wife.
This unusual inheritance is just like Lü Hou's demonstration against the world.
Because of her Lu Yan's world, it is "inherited" from her husband and son.
Feng Xiao as Hou is the answer sheet she handed over when she faced the questions of the people of the world after ten years in charge of the world.
After Lü Hou's death, the Lü clan was exterminated.
Originally, some female marquises who raised their heads were also completely pressed down, and there were no female marquises in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties.
Looking back at these four "genuine" marquises, in addition to the division of Lu Hou, people feel that there is a wind of filial piety in the world.
The other three are all mixed with private feelings and conspiracies.
Truly capable women have failed to get the glory they deserve through their own achievements.
And those who are "lucky" have become the toys and pawns of the plot.
It's really nerve-wracking.
