What is the origin of the title of Ma Xu, and what is the status of Ma Xu in ancient times?

In ancient times, Xu was a title for the son-in-law of the emperor, and there were also titles such as son-in-law and husband. Only among these appellations, the name Ma Xu is the most widely used. As for the title of Xu, it originated in the Three Kingdoms period and was named after Wei, the son-in-law of the emperor. As for the Jin Dynasty when Du Yu married Princess Anlu, Wang Ji was granted a captain after marrying Princess Changshan. Therefore, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, all husbands will add the title of a captain Xu in front, which is only an official position and has no actual position.

During the feudal dynasty, apart from the emperor, the most powerful person should be royalty. After all, they have a very close relationship with the emperor. As long as they don't commit such a big crime of rebellion, there is basically no great danger. It is a great honor for the emperor to marry his daughter, the princess, to a courtier, so it is a very high honor for outsiders to represent the emperor's special esteem for you.

In fact, for ordinary people, it would be a great honor to be a husband one day. But for those court officials, it is not a good thing. First of all, during the feudal dynasty, men were superior to women, but it was very normal for rich and powerful people to have three wives and four concubines. But it's different for Xu Lai. After all, it's a gift from the princess to your family. Naturally, you can't marry another woman unless you get the princess's permission. At this time, both Xu and Xu's parents are shorter than the princess at home.

Every time Xu sees the princess, he has to bow down and pay his respects. As for the princess, he can only wait on her while she is sitting and eating, and it will not be his turn until the princess has finished eating. Therefore, in the eyes of these court officials, this is not to marry a wife to go home, but to marry an ancestor. Many people are curious. Why do so many people want to be the son-in-law of the emperor, since it is so miserable to marry the princess and go home?

During the feudal dynasty, the emperor was the most powerful person in the whole country. If he marries his daughter to a courtier, he must accept it if he doesn't accept it, or he will bear his anger, ranging from losing his official position to losing his head. So under normal circumstances, no one dares to refuse the marriage of the emperor and the princess. It is also very important that once the princess is married, the basic representative will win the gold medal of death-free, as long as she does not make a big mistake, there is basically no hesitation. Even if there is a conflict with others, others will look at the princess's face. So this is a very good way for people who want to gain power.
