Wang Hao got married and gave birth to a daughter. Why can he still enter the palace to marry the prince? And gave birth to an eternal emperor.

Many girls will have a "princess dream" after watching the Qing Palace drama, hoping that they can travel back to the Qing Dynasty to be princesses, but in fact, princesses in the Qing Dynasty are extremely depressed in history.

Take Qianlong's favorite Princess Gulun and Princess Xiao (Princess Ten) as examples. She married Feng?enyende, the eldest son of Xiao Shenyang. Later, Xiao Shenyang was granted death by the emperor, and her feelings with Feng?enyende were also very discordant, but she could only live with Feng?enyende. After Feng?enyende died, she began to be widowed at the age of 35, and finally ended her life in loneliness at the age of 49.

If you really want to be a princess, you can't be a princess in the Qing Dynasty, but you'd better be a princess in the Han Dynasty. If people in the Han Dynasty knew the fate of the Tenth Princess, they would be very surprised. If the princesses of the Qing Dynasty knew the life of women in the Han Dynasty, they would be even more surprised.

Farmer Wang Yi's Road to Empress Dowager.

The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that respected women. Women can divorce, remarry and even inherit titles.

Wang Hui, the second queen of Liu Qi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was born in a civilian family. When she grew up, she married an ordinary farmer and gave birth to a daughter named Jin Custom.

The young couple lead an ordinary life. Although it is either rich or expensive, it is undisputed and can barely be regarded as harmonious and beautiful. At this time, Wang Hao's mother Zanger asked someone to tell her daughter's fortune. The fortune teller told her: "Your daughter will be rich and expensive, and she will give birth to the son of heaven in the future."

Zange believed it when he heard it. Despite Wangsun Jin's opposition, he took his daughter home. Wangsun Jin was very angry about this, probably because he thought, "Even if you say for other reasons that my wife will have a son of heaven, so she can't marry me, which is too bullying and obviously bullies my IQ", so she kept coming to Wang Hao and wanted to take it back.

It's a pity that Zanger is not an ordinary person. She is the granddaughter of Yan Wang Zang Tea. Although Zangcha was killed for rebellion, she still left some relationship with Zanger. Under the operation of a clever relationship, Zanger sent Wang Jue to the East Palace, making him an ordinary maid-in-waiting beside the Prince, and making Wangsun Jin completely unable to find a wife.

After Wang Hao entered the East Palace, Liu Yuxin liked her very much and turned her into a beauty. After Liu Qi became emperor of Han Jing, he married her. When Mrs. Wang got off the bus, she established a young marriage with Liu Pu, the princess of Guantao, the sister of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, and agreed to marry Liu Pu's daughter and make her queen when she grew up, while Liu Pu tried her best to help become a prince.

After repeated persuasion by his sister Liu Pu and his wife Wang Miao, Emperor Han Jing gradually wanted to turn Liu Che into a prince. At the same time, Liu Che himself is very popular with him. So in the seventh year of BC (150), seven-year-old Liu Che was made a prince and Wang Miao was also made a queen. Nine years later, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty died, Wang Di became the Empress Dowager, and Liu Che became the emperor, the famous Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

The Formation of Women's Status in Han Dynasty

Wang Yi's life track from peasant woman to empress and then to empress dowager is undoubtedly very legendary, which many people who are used to watching Qing Palace dramas can't understand or even imagine.

Judging from the ten princesses of Emperor Qianlong, we generally think that ancient women were married under the arrangement of their parents, and divorce was usually not allowed, even if their husbands died.

However, this phenomenon did not exist in the Han Dynasty. The status of women in Han Dynasty was very high, or the imprisonment was not serious. They can divorce and remarry, and they can freely express their love. People won't have any prejudice against them. Compared with the status of women in Ming and Qing dynasties, it is higher than a level.

There are many factors that cause this phenomenon. First, the rulers of the Han Dynasty had no prejudice against women. When Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, rewarded the hero, he specially sealed a marquise, that is, the defection of Lv Muhou. Due to the death of General Xi Juan, the title was inherited by his mother. As for Lv Hou, it goes without saying that she has been in power for more than ten years as a woman, and the world is safe.

Secondly, it inherited the customs of the Qin Dynasty, which was inherited from the State of Qin. But Qin itself stands out in the west and is more open to men and women. For example, it is normal for Qin Zhaowang's mother, Empress Xuan, to find a lover after her husband's death and even give birth to two children for her lover. King Zhao of Qin and his ministers were not surprised.

Of course, the most important factor is that the Han Dynasty at this time was not influenced by Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, and there were not too many restrictions on women. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism of "Starvation is a trivial matter, but dishonour is a major matter" became orthodox, and there were more and more rules and regulations about women's foot-binding and no remarriage, which lasted until the Ming and Qing Dynasties and was completely abandoned until the last century.

Bo Ye Jun said

It is normal for women to divorce and remarry, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this is very abnormal. A woman should be single-minded, and even if her husband dies, she will spend her life in loneliness. When we get used to this lifestyle and social evaluation standard, we suddenly hear that there is a lifestyle, and we will feel a little trance and incredible in an instant, but in fact, this lifestyle is more in line with the needs of human nature.

When the times are abnormal, things that were quite normal will become somewhat abnormal, but in fact, after that era has passed, we can find that it is not ourselves but that era that is wrong.
