Japanese women are a little panicked, because Prince Hirohito, who only scored 20 points in the midterm exam, is going to choose a concubine

Preface:

Due to cultural customs, Japan still maintains and inherits the hierarchical system that exists in the imperial family, and many people find it very rewarding to be associated with the imperial family.

In particular, the marriage system of the Japanese imperial family is strictly set up at all levels, which makes many people mistakenly think that Japanese women are very much looking forward to the dream of flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes overnight.

However, when Prince Hirohito, the second heir to the Japanese emperor, broke the scandal that he wanted to choose a concubine among the people, it caused an uproar in Japan, and he wanted to run away with his luggage immediately.

Because Prince Hirohito once scored as high as 20 in the midterm exam, and many Japanese women said that they would not marry even if they were children of other royal families.

Why are Japanese women afraid of the Japanese imperial family's choice of concubines? Why is Prince Hirohito's choice of concubine so hot?

Japanese Imperial Marriage

Japan's "Imperial Family Code" serves as a code of conduct manual for the Japanese imperial family, in which the inheritance of the old model has seriously affected the development of the new Japanese imperial family.

Here, we mainly know about the royal spouses in the "Royal Exemplar".

In the Meiji Imperial Code, it was stipulated that marriages of the imperial family were strictly limited to the Chinese of the same clan or according to the decree, and the edict of the decree had to be countersigned by the minister of the Imperial Household.

This provision is to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, and the second is to ensure the stability of the royal power.

Traditionally, therefore, the Japanese emperor and the wives of his heirs all came from specific families that had passed through the times, because they were the only ones who could assist and replace the emperor.

Of course, royal women do not necessarily have to be locked up in the imperial family and the Chinese family, and the "Imperial Family Model" specifically has a clause for imperial women, as long as they marry the emperor and people outside the imperial family, they must be separated from the imperial family, such as Taisho, Meiji, and Showa's daughters.

I thought it was a sign of respect for women, but Prince Fumihito publicly stated that by marrying a woman from the royal family and leaving the imperial family, it was possible to reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, and sometimes a certain number of people was necessary to maintain the imperial system.

The marriage of the Japanese emperor was carried out according to the harem system, which lasted until Hirohito. Japan's harem system extends the female official system because of the strict selection of imperial blood.

To put it simply, it is to train female officers in advance, as candidates for the side room of the side room in the future, with strict hierarchies and special personnel to manage them.

In the history of Japan, the wives of the Japanese emperor and the heir were all from the five families, namely Konoe, Kujo, Ichijo, Nijo, and Takaji. These are more traditional marriages.

However, those who have studied biology know that marriage between close relatives is easy to cause more or less harm to children, so intermarriage within the Japanese imperial family is serious, resulting in a very high mortality rate of newborns.

Of course, the Japanese royal family knows this situation, so call more concubines and have more children, so that they don't have a healthy and complete child all the time.

Therefore, there are many female officials in the women's dormitory in the Japanese Imperial Palace, and all of them are loyal to the imperial family. Used to continue the bloodline.

When he arrived at Hirohito, his wife Ryoko was naturally a member of the imperial family, but Ryoko gave birth to four daughters in a row, and the royal family put pressure on Hirohito to take a concubine, but Hirohito directly overthrew this system and implemented monogamy.

Since Hirohito, this female official system has ended, and it can be regarded as the future of liberating many Japanese imperial women.

But the orthodox bloodline of the royal family has always been maintained, even if Prince Yongren, the first Prince of Chichibu Palace, married a commoner for the first time, and his wife Setsuko's ancestral bloodline is also Chinese, but Setsuko's father is a concubine and did not inherit the title.

From these historical continuations, we can know the strictness of Japanese imperial marriages, but with the advent of free love, it is no longer difficult for the imperial family to marry commoners, and the birth of Prince Hirohito seems to be the savior of the Japanese imperial family.

Prince Akishinonomiya Hirohito

Prince Akishinonomiya Hirohito is a post-00s, he is the second in line to the throne of the Emperor of Japan, and his father is the first in line to the throne of the Emperor of Japan.

The current emperor of Japan is the uncle of Prince Hirohito Akishinomiya.

And Prince Yuhito of Akishinomiya is also very exposed, because as a new generation, he has broken through many royal firsts.

First of all, Hirohito was the first baby born by caesarean section in the Japanese imperial family, and since it is the imperial family, this caesarean section will not be as cheesy as a commoner, called an imperial incision.

And Yuhito's mother chose to have a caesarean section, she is forty years old, and she is also because of serious pregnancy complications placenta previa, if it weren't for Yuhito's father and uncle who have no children, all hope for him, and it is estimated that the traditional natural birth will be maintained, so that the mother is in danger.

When Hirohito's parents were discharged from the hospital, 18,000 people lined the way to welcome and congratulate him, and the government sent 1,200 police officers to maintain order.

Not only that, in order to celebrate Yuhito's birth, Jingdong newspapers were distributed free of charge, and various styles of congratulatory activities were held at shrines and shrines in various places, including lantern processions, bonusa marches, and so on.

There is a shopping street where all the posters of the birth of the prince are posted, and some hotels are celebrating the birth of the prince with free sake.

The carnival of the imperial family is normal, because Hirohito's parents are already facing the crisis of having no heirs, and as for the carnival of the common people in the whole society, in addition to the influence of traditional culture, there is also one thing: Hirohito's birth can bring money to Japan.

Why do you say that, Hirohito's birth is equivalent to the imperial family as a fertility example for the Japanese people, which can stimulate more people to get married and have children, and bring new economic growth points to the country with family units and stimulate consumption.

Of course, the sluggish birth rate in Japan is also an important factor.

Secondly, Hirohito was also the first person among the heirs to the throne to attend a school other than Gakushuin, and the heirs of the imperial family all had special people to educate, which was the so-called Gakuin.

Although the whole Japanese society and the imperial family are more carnivalial, Yuhito's parents think that as long as their children can go through a long life leisurely, they will look through ancient Chinese books and find Tao Yuanming's sentence to see Nanshan leisurely and name their children.

However, the eyes of society always scrutinize Yuhito's words and deeds, such as when Yuhito attended his first press conference as an adult, Yuhito admitted that he was nervous.

However, many media in Japan believe that Yuhito's eyes are wandering, his speech is stumbling, and he is losing his royal demeanor, and he believes that he will not be a qualified heir to the emperor in the future.

Not only that, but there are also a lot of scandals about Youren, such as Yuren mistakenly calling Uncle Dad, mistakenly calling Dad Uncle, and in the middle and middle school exams, the 1000-point test paper only got 20 points.

These many behaviors have aroused the suspicion of the Japanese media, believing that because of the marriage of close relatives, there may be problems with Yuhito's intelligence.

In his first press conference, Yuhito responded that he would strive to fulfill his royal duties in the future.

In addition to the fact that close relatives are married, the internal struggle of the royal family is also very obvious.

Hirohito's parents were conservatives in Japan, and his ideological and political motives were all right-wing, so if Hirohito succeeded the emperor, he would be able to pursue conservative policies towards Japanese politics and foreign international relations.

Hirohito's uncle is completely different, he is very open, and he is also the one who gradually changes the Japanese imperial family, he only has a daughter, so he wants his daughter to inherit the throne.

Note that there have been eight female emperors in Japanese history, and the reason for this is the aforementioned problem of fewer children due to close relatives.

Therefore, the birth of Hirohito also made the issue of the succession of the royal family a hot topic, fueling public opinion.

In addition to political stance, Yuhito's IQ problem, the reason why many Japanese women are dismissed from entering the imperial family, there is one most important one, that is, the cruelty of the imperial family.

The cruelty of the royal family

At present, there are a total of two commoner queens in the Japanese imperial family, namely Hirohito's grandmother and aunt.

Hirohito's grandfather, Akihito, was the first Japanese emperor in Japanese history to visit China and was a peace-loving Japanese emperor.

Not only that, but Akihito is also known as a model of the popular emperor system, and he never used a solemn body to speak to the people, and he was the first emperor to abandon the use of a solemn body to speak to the people, and put down the so-called emperor frame.

Moreover, Akihito also renounced the rights and interests of the emperor and officially abdicated during his lifetime, and was also the first emperor to abdicate during his lifetime.

Akihito did not take a special car in his life, and he commuted to work and traveled by public transportation.

Emperor Akihito is different, and the empress who is in love with him is naturally different. Emperor Akihito's empress Michiko was the first empress in Japanese history to be born as a commoner, and she pulled down the so-called imperial family of the gods.

When the Japanese royal family got that Akihito was going to marry Michiko, it was fiercely opposed, and it was Hirohito who resisted the pressure and facilitated the marriage, and the wedding of the two was broadcast live on TV.

Although Akihito loves Michiko very much, Michiko was almost abused in the royal family because of her civilian background.

Michiko wears short gloves on formal occasions, but on the wedding day, she was scolded for being too short for being impolite, and her family was dragged to the palace to apologize.

Empress Ryoko, her mother-in-law, also used wild chrysanthemum as Michiko's emblem to satirize her civilian status, and she even hung Michiko aside when she visited abroad.

The attendant who is responsible for Michiko's daily life is from a noble family, and of course he doesn't respect Michiko, and directly tells Michiko that she is not serving as a commoner's concubine, and is very strict with Michiko.

In the Japanese Imperial Palace, Michiko could only communicate with her husband and children, and suffered from depression and aphasia successively, but fortunately, it was Akihito who was always with her company and love, so that she recovered.

Under the education of Akihito and Michiko, Hirohito's uncle, Emperor Naruhito, also fought against the imperial family, was the first member of the imperial family to study abroad, and also married the second commoner empress Masako.

Masako is a very good diplomat, and after falling in love with Naruhito, she experienced crises such as breaking contact before finally achieving a positive result, and Masako's royal life was also very aggrieved.

Because in public, Masako spoke a few seconds more than Naruhito, and she was blamed, and she had to keep a three-step distance from Naruhito in her daily life, and she was monitored and corrected by a female official at any time.

Masako is a diplomat by training, talented and capable, but she cannot behave better than Naruhito in public.

Not only that, because of two years of marriage, Masako did not get pregnant, and was attacked by various gossip, and the imperial family also used various folk remedies to cause irreversible damage to Naruhito.

Masako's first pregnancy also caused a miscarriage, and when the two gave birth to their daughter Aiko, the royal family and the outside world criticized Masako for not having a son, and under heavy pressure, she suffered from zoster and disappeared in public with the Japanese imperial family for a while.

It wasn't until the media revealed that it was adjustment disorder caused by stress, or depression, that needed medication control and treatment by a psychiatrist, which caused an uproar again.

Masako's condition has improved slightly and she is able to attend important events, but the smog has not cleared.

In 2006, an Australian journalist published a biographical book called "Concubine Masako: A Prisoner of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty", which mentioned Masako's plight in the royal family, depression, hope for divorce, daughter is IVF and so on.

However, it was suppressed by the Japanese government on the grounds that the facts did not match the facts and affected the reputation of the imperial family, but the book was published a year later as usual.

It can be seen that the pressure and difficulties of commoners marrying into the royal family are great, so there are many problems that you will face if you want to be Yuhito's concubine.
