Where is the Queen? Why do the women of the harem want to be queens?
In the palace fight drama, there are countless concubines who are worried about the queen's throne.
Is this simply because the mother of a country has a high status and a lot of wages? Or is it because if you become a queen, you can be above ten thousand people by yourself?
In fact, in addition to the queen's life being more favorable than that of the concubines, the main reason is that there are many people and things under her control.
Don't talk about the emperor's bad old man's harem, which are full of delicate concubines.
Even the emperor himself, in some respects, had to be restrained by the empress.
Did you suddenly feel that the queen's compulsion was full at once?
Speaking of which, we have to mention Nurhaci. In addition to being good at conquering the four sides, this excellent ruler was also very thoughtful in the management of the harem.
We, Mr. Nurhaci, have always believed that men should put their careers first.
Therefore, he has always been very good at deciding whether to include in the harem according to the background of the girl.
Although it sounds a little cold and heartless, it is a symbol of the full rank of careerists.
Because there are thousands of girls with backgrounds, they must be used rationally to ensure that their interests are maximized.
However, after the people in the harem have more, there will inevitably be some small friction between them.
After all, those dozens of beautiful sisters, all guarding a person, there will definitely be jealousy and competition for favors.
But Nurhaci knows very well what he wants to do, and men who are destined to do big things can't always handle the affairs of these women's families every day.
But if you find someone else to help you manage, this is not realistic.
In case something strange comes in, what if the harem woman puts a green hat on herself?
Or what if there are some strange blood relatives mixed in among their own children?
He is the future lord of the world, the kind of throne to inherit. If this happens, it will be terrible!
In the harem the woman is to be restrained, and not yet in the case of being an outsider. The position of the lord of the middle palace came into being
The position of empress was given very great powers from the very beginning.
Not only could it restrain everyone in the harem, but it could also govern the emperor on certain issues.
The empress was attached to the emperor's notice, and she could also use the mother's world as an excuse to restrain her husband with the ancestral training.
It is said that the emperor can rule over the people, and the empress can restrain him to a certain extent.
With this rounding, isn't it true that the queen can also manage the people?
No wonder the concubines of the harem all wanted to be queens, this kind of "who dares not listen to me" fell was so cool.
Holding real power in their hands, is it not better than which high-ranking concubines who have no real power?
Every day, I listen to what is wrong with my mouth and ask for peace and blessings, but I don't have the right in my hands, and no matter how favored I am, I have to look at the face of the queen.
Except, of course, for a few unruly emperors. When this system was established at that time, I certainly did not expect that the later Shunzhi was a rebellious teenager.
The Qing Dynasty empress dowager can be really wide
Stop being naïve enough to think that the empress is just a tool to manage the harem.
In fact, there are many things that people can manage! Empress Dowager Cixi once issued a decree,
In this, the duties of the queen are clearly pointed out. One is that the most important thing is that harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics.
The second is to say that the empress has the right to rule over the six houses. What does this command harem mean?
In fact, it is mainly in the harem, some trivia that needs to be handled by the queen. What a punishment for palace people, maintaining the basic order of the harem.
There is also harem detective work, from the small concubine to the loss of things to the death of someone in the palace, all have to be questioned by the queen. To put it bluntly, it is the disciplinary committee of the harem.
The work, though trivial, is neither the hardest nor the coolest.
Among the queen's work tasks, the most difficult one and the coolest one actually originated from the matter of sleeping with the waiter.
Among the duties of the empress, the most refreshing is to "advise the monarch".
Don't look at it like this is quite serious, in fact, this authority is to prevent emperors from entering and leaving the concubines' palace at will.
And when the emperor is overly addicted to harem games, the empress's rights can be maximized.
As we all know, the rules of the Qing Dynasty and other dynasties were not the same. After the emperors finished turning over the cards, they did not go to the concubine's womb themselves.
Instead, someone would roll the floped concubine into an old Beijing chicken roll and then send it to the emperor's own palace.
Of course, the empress, as the mother of a country, has the privilege of not being swept up.
But the emperor felt bored looking at his own palace every day, and I wanted to go to the concubines' palace.
That's okay! First call the queen a report! Only when the empress agreed, did the emperor march towards the palace of a certain concubine.
Otherwise, the emperor would have operated in violation of the law. The queen has the right to remind her husband.
These were only rules written down in writing, and in fact few emperors would actually abide by them.
Few empresses would be so blatant as to interfere with the emperor and make them unhappy.
But as long as the empresses are willing, they can completely put the emperor together.
Cixi had experienced such a thing, but she was not punishing others, but being punished.
At that time, Cixi was still the concubine of the Xianfeng Emperor, and she was also quite favored.
The young and beautiful Concubine Yi made emperor Xianfeng five confused and three ways, and even did not go to the upper court.
When the queen saw this posture, she secretly said that things were not good.
Because the emperor went on like this, the ministers would definitely blame her for not being a good empress and not being able to restrain the Heavenly Son very well.
So the empress personally held the ancestral training and went to the door of The Concubine's Bedchamber.
After arriving, he directly knelt down, put the ancestral training above his head, and then asked the emperor to come out to listen to the training.
At that time, xianfeng was shocked by the child, and immediately said that he was going to go to the upper court.
After the emperor came down, the empress also counted the sins of Concubine Yi in Kunning Palace, and finally the battle was over.
It was only later that although this empress successfully became the empress, the cause of death of this empress dowager Of Ci'an could be...
The hardest thing, maybe I can guess it without saying. This is to arrange for the emperor's husband to be a waiter.
For example, if there is a sister who has not seen the emperor for a long time, then she should be arranged.
Or if another sister has a good chance of speculating on the baby, she must be allowed to contact the emperor.
As a queen, no matter how sad she was when arranging this matter, she could not fight for the wind and be jealous.
Queen Inner Os: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Personally arranging your husband to other women, this feeling is not generally uncomfortable.
But the queen had to practice such a skill, which showed that this position was respected, but it was difficult to be competent!
The Qing Dynasty palace fighting champion, the Empress, exists like a Bug!
This harem is handled by the empress inside and out, is it true that the last palace fighting champion is in the Comfortable Pension of the Cining Palace, and nothing matters?
This mainly depends on whether the life was better at that time.
If that period was a peaceful period without war, the harem had daughters-in-law in charge, and the former dynasty also had sons staring at it.
As the empress dowager who personally pulled the emperor to the throne, raising the emperor was a great achievement.
The old lady only needs to listen to the drama when she is well old and has nothing to do.
However, whether it means that she has no right to manage, the empress dowager can issue a decree.
The deterrent power of this will is second only to the emperor's holy will. If the old lady really had an iron heart to do something, no one would dare not listen to it when she issued a decree.
Under normal circumstances, even the emperor had to follow his wife.
If it was the empress dowager's last will left before her death, the weight was even heavier, and the emperor had to meet the requirements.
If you encounter a special period, such as when the emperor is seriously ill. The empress dowager could take the empress with her to interfere or preside over the affairs of the court.
If the emperor died suddenly, he would not have had time to leave a last word or anything. At this time, the empress dowager had the right to choose an heir on behalf of her son.
It was only in the patriarchal society at that time, although the empress dowager had this right, but it was only a moon in the mirror.
However, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, it is not that there are people who have not successfully applied these rules.
Empress Xiaozhuang at that time was a very capable old lady.
Although she never became empress, after her son succeeded to the throne, she became empress dowager.
It was just that the emperor at that time was only six years old, and they were orphaned and widowed and powerless. For the sake of himself and his son, Xiaozhuang had to transform into a strong woman.
In the day-to-day political struggle, he finally became a politician with a vicious vision.
It's just a pity that he didn't fight in the later stages, and he went crazy for a Dong Efei. However, this experience also laid the foundation for Xiaozhuang's later life.
Because after the death of Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang had to take care of the eight-year-old Kangxi and find a way to mediate with the ministers.
Although she didn't make much appearance in the courtroom, she knew what was happening in the outside world. In the end, she relied on her own ability to teach Kangxi to become a generation of Ming jun.
In this regard, Cixi and Xiaozhuang are different. Xiaozhuang was pulling the emperor up while educating them well.
Cixi was a puppet emperor of all kinds, and the ultimate goal was to decide for himself anyway.
In the end, it is this feeling of having the final say that it is too cool that one woman after another in history wants to become the next person who "has the final say".
The empress and empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty are not good at being, and they have a lot of power, but they may not be able to exercise their powers.
The empress dowager was a little better, at least when she was fine, she could be a salted fish.
The queen is not going to work, a bunch of things big and small. The family planning work in the harem is her, and the detective work is her.
What else is there to maintain discipline, all of which are her own work.
Therefore, it is better to be the empress dowager directly, and if you have a good son, you can still enjoy your old age in peace.
Although the queen looks majestic, the heartache behind this is not something that ordinary people can bear.
