Most countries in modern society practice monogamy, but polygamy remains in Bhutan, where the former king Singh married four queens, who were still sisters. Speaking of this, many people will think of the sisters serving a husband and wife in the film and television drama, and it is inevitable to turn their faces and not recognize people when they fight for the wind and jealousy, after all, even the king is difficult to achieve a bowl of water when dealing with some trivial matters.
Clear-eyed people know that King Singh married the four sisters in order to marry and consolidate his power, and everyone thought that he could not handle the relationship with the four sisters, after all, there was no emotional basis between them, and everything was based on interests. But their married life was unexpectedly harmonious, and the sisters got better and better, and together they bore 10 children for King Singh. How did King Singh manage to achieve harmony in the backyard? What's the story?
Put on the throne
Bhutan is a country that few people probably know, and even if they do, doesn't know much about, located in the middle of the mainland and India, has been associated with the mainland since its founding in 1907 and is also deeply influenced by the history and culture of the continent.
The main power of the state is still in the hands of the king, and the reason that has been attracting attention in recent years is the super high appearance of King Kaisar and Queen Pema. Many people envied the sweet love between the two, and in a country where many wives could be had, King Caesar was adamant that there would be only one wife.
The legend of Bhutan was not founded by King Kaiser, but by his father, King Singer. As a child, Singh had to learn various cultural histories from an early age, and was sent to study in the United Kingdom at the age of nine, and Singh, who had seen the wider world, exuded charm, and his excellent appearance made many girls deeply attracted to him.
One of the most talked about is his love story, his four wives are all beautiful, it is said that they met at the punaka festival of the festival, at first sight, the first encounter between the prince and the four maidens is full of romance.
The truth is far from it, the widely circulated love story is actually full of helplessness, in 1972 Singh's father died suddenly, at this time he was only 17 years old, fledgling, and he ascended to the throne in a vacuum, without a foundation, he could not be convinced by his courtiers.
Political marriage
Singh, who was not yet an adult, simply did not have time to grieve over his loving father, and he had to deal with various political issues, and he faced unprecedented difficulties. In the eyes of the minister of the DPRK and the Central Government, he was a hairy boy who had just taken office and did not understand anything, and he had no real power in his hands, so how could he be safe and sound in the struggle with the minister? The most important thing is to have its own power, but it is too late to cultivate power, and his mother thinks that the fastest way is to get married.
From ancient times to the present, no emperor has been able to do whatever he wants in his marriage, and the king needs to serve the country and the people, and since he has absolute rights, he must bear the obligations he should have. The status of the monks in Bhutan is extremely high, and everyone knows that as long as they have a good relationship with them, their status will rise with it. There was a monk, Bhutan Xia Tsakyim, the living Buddha Xia Zhong Rinpoche, who had absolute power in the country of Bhutan.
So Singh's mother and Singh discussed marrying his granddaughter, which was the most suitable candidate. Singh had been abroad and had always advocated free love, but in the face of a strong mother and ambitious ministers in Korea, he finally accepted her proposal. What is surprising is that Xiazhong Rinpoche has four granddaughters, which one should he marry? Singh was distressed. But the mother apparently didn't know what Singh was thinking, because she wanted to marry the four sisters home together.
Bhutan, which has just lost its king, is still in a chaotic situation, and if the situation is not controlled in time, there will be endless troubles, and if only one is married to go home, the other sisters are likely to marry other political enemies in the future. In order to prevent this from happening, and in order to allow the Living Buddha family to support only Singh alone, the mother simply asked Singh to marry all four sisters home, and Singh also treated the four sisters equally, and all four of them were queens of Bhutan.
Marriage is harmonious
Because of the influence of major film and television dramas, many people's views on this are that the future palace fight must be very exciting. But things did not develop in the direction that everyone imagined, and the four sisters got along with Singer after entering the palace, and there was never contradiction or quarrel. The feelings between the sisters are better, they often get together to chat and talk, and everywhere they go is a state of happiness and harmony.
Of course, such a harmonious situation is indispensable to Singh's efforts, although he is not mature enough, but he is also a person who has seen the world, has a sense of proportion, and will not deal with problems as he pleases.
He knew that his four wives were very noble in status and absolutely could not be treated differently, otherwise there would definitely be problems in the palace over time, and now he needed the support of the Living Buddha Family very much. Therefore, he gave the four sisters the same status, and the harem competition for favors was mostly because the king could not do a bowl of water, and he built their own palaces for the four sisters to give equal respect.
The four queens generally moved in their palaces and were only together when it came time to attend public occasions when they had to. Singer is a warm, kind, and talented man, and the four sisters unconsciously fall in love with him in the process of spending time with him, because they have love in their hearts, so they do not want to embarrass their lovers. In addition, they were new sisters who grew up together, so the relationship was very harmonious, and later the four of them conceived ten children for Singh together.
Preferring the life of a crane to being King Singer, he has always longed for the atmosphere of an ordinary family, and as soon as his eldest son grew up, he had begun to delegate power, and in 2006, he felt that his eldest son already had the ability to stand alone, so he abdicated. Now that he's almost 70 years old, Singh has lived the simple life he wants, and of course his four queens.
epilogue
Some people pursue power, some people pursue freedom, and Singer lost his freedom to marry for rights, but fortunately, the marriage he managed with his heart was very happy. Because we yearn for freedom and grace to leave and finally live the life we want, this open-minded attitude is worth learning.
