Recommended reading: "What! Can the colt only enter the princess's mansion if she is summoned by the princess? ”

At night, Li Zhai, Li Hongyi looked at Qin Yue with a surprised face, and for a while he couldn't believe what Qin Yue told him about the customization of the princess and the horse.

Because he was curious that Ran Xingrang did not live in the princess's mansion, Li Hongyu inquired about Qin Yue as soon as he returned home, but he didn't think that Qin Yue really knew the inside story.

In order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, Ming Taizu made provisions on the marriage of princesses and royal daughters such as county lords and county lords, that is, horses and honor guests must be selected from the families of commoners or low-level officials, and they are not allowed to marry nobles and middle and high-ranking officials.

It is worth mentioning that the husband of the county lord and the county lord is not the "county horse" and "county horse" as folk rumors, in addition to the princess, the husband of the county lord and the county lord and other clan daughters are called "Yibin".

In addition, the close relatives of the children who are selected as concubines and honor guests can no longer be officials, even if they are already officials, they have to retire and go home.

It is recorded in the "Records of Ming Shizong" that "the old poetry and family are well-dressed, and they are unwilling to marry the Wang family, but Lujing Baiding pulls the aid of the clan relatives and turns to lure." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that all those famous families or local clans do not want their children to marry the royal clansmen, which gives the commoners in the market a chance, who would have thought that the dignified horses and honor guests would be reduced to such a state.

Think about it, if a family has a child who is elected as a horse or guest of honor, then the family cannot be promoted as an official, and the horse and guest of honor are just a fictitious position of a leader.

In this way, those families and scholars of the Ming Dynasty regarded marrying the royal family as a daunting path.

Therefore, the quality of the husbands of the princesses and the daughters of the Ming Dynasty is often uneven, most of them are from commoners, although they have suffered a lot of grievances, but the Ming Dynasty put an end to the interference of foreign relatives in politics.

In fact, Li Hongyu felt that Ming Taizu's move was really inappropriate, he did prevent his relatives from interfering in politics, but once the imperial power was challenged by the ministers, the emperor would have an important helper by his side, after all, relatives were an important force to defend the imperial power.

Judging from the history of the Ming Dynasty, one of the important reasons why eunuchs were able to rise suddenly, the imperial family and relatives were suppressed since the time of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, so that the emperor had to rely on the eunuchs around him to deal with the civil official group in the court.

Li Hongyu had previously stayed away from Zhu Wanting for this reason, and once he became Zhu Wanting's guest of honor, then his career would be over.

Not only Li Hongyu, but also the children of the Li family in Baihe Town will also follow to the bad luck, Li Hongyu's clan relatives within three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination, this result is not what he wants to see.

The reason why Li Hongyu accepted Zhu Wanting was because Zhu Wanting knew that he had great ambitions in the officialdom and could not be an obscure guest of honor, so he would definitely not force him to marry her.

Besides, Zhu Wanting's marriage must be King Xiang's decision, and he is Huguang's Xie Yuan, even if Zhu Wanting falls in love with Li Hongyu, then King Xiang will nod, and King Xiang will also ask Emperor Wanli, he doesn't think that Emperor Wanli will let him go to Xiangyang City as a guest of honor after having a gambling contract with him.

Originally, Li Hongyu didn't want to hurt Zhu Wanting, thinking that the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain, and the relationship with her was cut in two, but Zhu Wanting followed him to the capital, and he really couldn't ignore Zhu Wanting anymore, otherwise God knows what earth-shattering things this rude girl would do.

Li Hongyu's understanding of the concubine is only from a humble background, and he doesn't know anything else, after all, he is not interested in the private life of the princess and the concubine, so he has not read this information.

According to Li Hongyu's understanding, since the concubine married the princess, he should naturally stay in the princess's mansion, you must know that the two are husband and wife.

However, Qin Yue told him that the concubine and the princess could not stay in the princess's mansion after marrying in the princess's mansion, but found another place to live with their family.

Although this is a custom of the Ming Dynasty to ensure the majesty of the princess, it is also very understandable from a reasonable point of view that in ancient times, daughters-in-law naturally had to serve their in-laws, but the emperor's daughter was a daughter, how could she serve the parents of the courtiers? And the parents of the colt had to salute when they saw the princess, which was contrary to human morality.

As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, and the horse can't stay in the princess's mansion to ignore his father's mother, and from this point of view, the horse is really not suitable for living in the princess's mansion.

But Qin Yue told him that if the horse wanted to go to the princess's mansion, he would be summoned by the princess, which was completely incomprehensible in his opinion, no matter how the two were also husband and wife, and the husband would be summoned when he saw his wife, it was simply too ridiculous.

What particularly makes Li Hongyu feel incredible is that the number of times the concubine makes love with the princess every month is customized, and it must be recorded, once it exceeds the princess's mansion, the female official in charge of the princess's mansion will not pass on the concubine to the princess, and there are countless red tapes.

If you meet a princess with a good relationship between husband and wife, you can use up the number of times you see the horse every month, but if you meet the kind of princess who doesn't like the horse, then the horse will never be able to step into the princess's mansion after marriage.

And the sad thing is that the concubine is not allowed to marry a concubine, nor can he be intimate with other women, in order to maintain the majesty of the princess, some people really can't bear the physical needs and can only cheat with other women.

However, it is not without benefits to be a concubine, otherwise there would not be so many people who want to cut their heads and become concubines, and the concubines are led by the imperial court from the first rank of the great members of the Yulu, which is higher than the six Shangshu without the title, you must know that the six Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty are just the official positions of the second grade.

This means that once you become a colt, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and have a decent identity, so that you can support your family without suffering any more, where to find such a good thing in the world, as for physiological problems, you can raise an outer room to cheat, anyway, as long as the princess does not check who is full of food and support, she will manage the royal affairs.

Of course, those who want to make a living on the horses are usually small people with no ambitions, or people who want to glorify their ancestors by virtue of their status as horses, and people with real long-term vision will never think of becoming horses.

"Brother Yu, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is like this, and no one can change it."

Seeing that Li Hongyu was making a fuss about what he said, Qin Yue couldn't help but smile slightly, and teased, "Brother Yu, the emperor's two princesses are already married, otherwise if the princess falls in love with you, your career will come to an end."

”

"This ancestral system is too unreasonable, and it is forced to ask a husband and wife to fly separately." Li Hongyu shook his head, feeling a little incomprehensible about this approach, and felt that wouldn't it be too aggrieved if the horse was like that.

"Brother Yu, how can the daughters of the royal family be so easy to marry, naturally they can't be looked at from the eyes of ordinary people."

Qin Yue felt that Li Hongyu's reaction to this matter was a bit big, so she explained with a smile, "Actually, the princess is also quite bitter, I haven't seen a colt before getting married, it's better to choose a handsome pony and say, if the other party is a crooked melon and cracked date, then it is better to not see it for the rest of your life." ”

"Crooked melon and cracked dates?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, although the husband of the emperor's daughter is not a child of a famous family, but he can't run away if he looks good, how can those people with bad looks fish in troubled waters.

"Brother Yu, the person who runs the affairs of the concubine is the eunuch in the palace, and some people bribe them in order to become a concubine, so that the eunuchs speak for him in front of the emperor, and as a result, the emperor is deceived and chooses the concubine to have this or that problem."

Qin Yue shook her head a little helplessly, she knew that Li Hongyu seemed to be unable to believe her words, so she said, "Far from it, in the tenth year of Wanli, the emperor's sister Princess Yongning chose a concubine, and there was a wealthy businessman surnamed Liang in the capital who bribed the eunuch who chose a horse for Princess Yongning in order to glorify his ancestors and climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and as a result, Princess Yongning chose the son of a wealthy businessman suffering from tuberculosis to be a concubine, and died of illness in less than a month after becoming a family, and Princess Yongning also died of depression after being widowed for several years. ”

"It is rumored that Princess Yongning was still a virgin when she died." As she spoke, Qin Yue lowered her voice and whispered to Li Hongyu.

"It's so hateful, you dare to fool the emperor!" Li Hongyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, which was too bold.

Tuberculosis was a terminal disease in ancient times, and Liang Juma died a month after becoming a parent, indicating that he was already very sick at that time, so there was definitely no way to cave the house, and Princess Yongning would definitely not want to see him again after becoming a parent, and the combination of the two can be described as an out-and-out tragedy.

"Those eunuchs are unlucky, if Liang Juma can last for two or three years, then they will be fine."

Qin Yue bowed slightly when she heard this, and also thought that the eunuchs who accepted bribes were hateful, and said after thinking about it, "It is said that those eunuchs were later arrested and put in the Imperial Prison, and ten of them died inside, if it weren't for the face of the dead Liang Concubine, I am afraid that Liang Concubine's father would also be arrested and put in the Imperial Prison, I heard that Liang Concubine's death moved out of the capital." ”

"It's a pity for Princess Yongning." Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel sorry for Princess Yongning, this kind of feeling of being widowed as soon as she became a family was definitely uncomfortable.

"The royal daughter is like this, her every move has attracted the attention of the outside world, and she can't even remarry for the sake of fame, and Princess Yongning is a chaste woman who didn't raise her face in the mansion, otherwise she wouldn't have died so early."

Qin Yue bowed slightly when she heard this, and her words were full of sympathy for Princess Yongning, after all, she was also a woman, so she naturally wanted to go to Princess Yongning.

"Noodles?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, the dignified princess was reduced to the point of raising a little white face, and it was really miserable.

"By the way, don't the female officials in the princess's mansion care about the face-to-face matter, I once heard that the female officials have great power, because they are in charge of the affairs of the princess's mansion, they don't even give the princess's face, and the princess wants to see the concubine and act according to the face of the female official, and the concubine often has to bribe her!"

Suddenly, Li Hongyu remembered something and couldn't help but ask Qin Yue curiously.

After Qin Yue's previous reminder, he vaguely remembered that some articles and movies in later generations seemed to portray the female official of the princess's mansion as an unkind shrew, not only the concubine, but also the princess had to be angry.

"Brother Yu, the female official is the slave of the princess, how dare she ride on the princess's head? Wouldn't that be a loss of humility! ”

With a snort, Qin Yue immediately laughed when she heard this, she felt that Li Hongyu seemed to like to talk about this kind of right and wrong in the market, so she looked at Li Hongyu with interest and said, "However, because of the responsibilities of female officials, once the number of times the ancestral system has passed every month, the female officials will no longer summon the concubines to the princess's mansion, otherwise it will violate the ancestral system." ”

"I see!"

Li Hongyu couldn't help but suddenly realize when he heard this, he felt strange, although the princess's concubine was not a child of a famous family, no matter how she said that the princess was also a royal golden branch and jade leaf, how could she be ridden on the head by a subordinate? Do you want the majesty and face of the royal family?

"Brother Yu, Princess Shouning is the emperor's favorite princess, and now that the county lord of Zhaoxiang has said it, then Brother Yu should go to visit the concubine."

Qin Yue felt that it was a great thing that Li Hongyu could catch the line of Princess Shouning through Zhu Wanting this time, so she said with a smile, feeling that Li Hongyu's tone was really good.

You must know that although there are ten daughters of Emperor Wanli, only Princess Shouning and the eldest sister Princess Rongchang have survived to adulthood, and the rest of the sisters have all died young, and the prince will definitely take great care of his two sisters after he ascends the throne.

"Hmm."

Li Hongyu bowed slightly, thinking that Qin Yue's words were reasonable, although the princess of the Ming Dynasty and the concubine were not as powerful as the previous dynasty, but Princess Shouning could enter the palace to face the saint, as long as the wind seemed to blow inadvertently in the ears of Emperor Wanli, then it would be able to receive unpredictable miraculous effects.
