History live broadcast: Starting from selling the princess

Chapter 2 Selling the Princess

Zhou Yuan didn't know what happened in the past dynasties.

He continued minding his own business: "I heard them talk about this yesterday when we were in Shuiqun, but who told me to write gossip articles next? Naturally, I don't care whether it is correct or not."

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at the sky and roared: "Are your descendants sick?"

"Don't he know that governance of history must be rigorous?"

Zhu Biao and others who had not gone far hurried back to take care of Zhu Yuanzhang.

People from other dynasties were speechless when they heard Zhou Yuan's irresponsible words.

But Zhu Yunming's eyes lit up during the period of Emperor Hongzhi.

Right, why should you take it seriously when writing something you heard from hearsay? You can just write it casually. Will anyone still take it seriously?
Just like people always say that Emperor Taizong killed the ten clansmen of Fang Xiaoru, but no one saw it, it would be no problem for me to write it as a story in my essay.

"But let's go online together and look for any videos about selling princesses in the Ming Dynasty."

"Look at what those video bloggers say, and I can learn from it."

With that said, Zhou Yuan clicked on the progress of his mother.

Following his operation, the sky screen was divided into two. The content on the big screen was Zhou Yuan's computer screen, and the small screen in the upper right corner was Zhou Yuan.

People of all dynasties stared at the sky carefully.

Looking forward to what’s next.

As Zhou Yuan entered the words "Selling Princesses in the Ming Dynasty", Du Niang quickly refreshed a series of videos.

Zhou Yuan clicked on the first one.

The blogger is an old man, he looks to be in his sixties, and he is shaking a fan.

[Today I will talk to you about the princesses of the Ming Dynasty.

Princesses of the Ming Dynasty were often deceived into marriage in history.

But why were they deceived into marriage?
This must be blamed on Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, in order to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics, he thought of a way to require future generations to marry daughters-in-law and princesses to marry consorts from among the people, and their status should not be too noble.

For example, Queen Zhang, the daughter-in-law of Zhu Gaochi, Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, and her father was a small commander.

Also, the father of Empress Sun, the wife of Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, was just a bookkeeper in Yongcheng County.

But these have nothing to do with what we are going to talk about today.

Today we are talking about princesses.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued an order that the prince-in-law was not allowed to enter the court as an official.

As a result, people with lofty ideals will no longer choose to be princes-in-law.

Suddenly, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were in a dilemma. They could not marry high-ranking people, but they were unwilling to marry talented people.

I have to say here that Zhu Yuanzhang is really deceptive. 】

Qin.

The First Emperor said thoughtfully: "To prevent relatives from interfering in politics?"

Chinese.

Lu Pheasant stared at Liu Bang and said word by word: "My daughter must never marry someone who is not from the right family."

Although he didn't finish listening, Lu Pheasant had already guessed the fate of the Ming Dynasty princess.

Eastern Han Dynasty.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be better to find a good-for-nothing dude for the princesses, and then let the princesses and the prince-in-law play with themselves?"

Just like his sister, as long as she doesn't make too much of a fuss.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin sneered at Zhu Yuanzhang's approach and said disdainfully: "The emperor can solve all problems if he is strong enough. How can there be any relatives intervening in politics."

Wei Zheng was dissatisfied when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin repeatedly said that he would listen more, watch more and think more.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up angrily and said angrily: "Is there something wrong with what I did?"

"Is it wrong to prevent relatives from interfering in politics?"

"If a prince does not have the support of a strong family, he will naturally have no intention of seizing the throne."

"Wouldn't it be good for a princess to marry an ordinary person who will help her husband and raise her children? This will save her from becoming a means for some brothers to form cliques."

"We are doing this for the princess's own good."

Zhu Biao and other brothers stood aside wiping sweat.

Not daring to step forward at all.

[Like Princess Yongchun during the Jiajing period, her wedding day has come, but she has not yet found a suitable consort.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing sent eunuchs to look for consorts with good family backgrounds and good moral character among the people.

And everyone can imagine what a group of uneducated, greedy, and extremely cunning eunuchs will do after they have the right to choose a husband for the princess. 】

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows jumped wildly when he heard this.

The wise emperors of other dynasties also had their hearts beating wildly.

[And what are the majority of civilians who want to marry a princess, but don’t want to be an official, and want a noble status?

Of course he is a businessman. When a eunuch meets a businessman, one side dares to give money as a bribe, and the other side dares to accept money to do things.

As soon as the two big-hearted guys got together, the famous marriage fraud incident in the Ming Dynasty occurred.

Before the wedding, Emperor Jiajing asked on a whim to see his consort.

Then when he saw it, Emperor Jiajing became angry instantly.

An investigation revealed that the future son-in-law's mother was actually married for the second time and was still a concubine.

Emperor Jiajing was angry and ordered the eunuchs to continue searching.

The second one came. He had a decent identity, but he was so long that it was difficult to speak.

But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is Princess Yongning during the Wanli period. She married a sick and consumptive ghost. She was inhumane on the wedding day and died two months after the wedding.

So much so that when Princess Yongning died at the age of twenty-eight, she had never experienced the joy of the boudoir. 】

The video ends.

Zhou Yuan couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

How miserable.

A woman who has lived for twenty-eight years has never experienced the joy of the boudoir.

Qin.

The First Emperor was confused and didn't quite understand.

Early Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was even more confused and couldn't help complaining: "A folk widow will hook up with a wild man. As a princess, she can't raise a man?"

When Lu Pheasant heard this, she glared at Liu Bang fiercely. She thought of Liu Fei.

But Lu Pheasant then muttered in his heart: "I must educate Lu Yuan well, and he must enjoy it when it is time to enjoy it. It is right to learn from Liu Bang on this point."

"You're already a princess, why bother yourself?"

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After reading it, Princess Pingyang said disdainfully: "I haven't met a good brother."

Early Eastern Han Dynasty.

Emperor Guangwu said to his sister: "If the consort doesn't work, we will change him."

Don.

Li Shimin was speechless after watching the canopy.

Wu Zhou.

Wu Zetian sneered: "I'm afraid this Princess Yongning is not a victim of political games."

Princess Taiping thought about her appearance, then looked at Shangguan Wan'er sitting next to her, and finally thought about Princess Gaoyang, and couldn't help but complain: "Why should women bother themselves?"

"In exchange for your observance of the festival, you not only gain fame, but also suffer."

"Others won't feel sorry for you."

Bright.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said to his sons: "There must be no problem with my system. The problem is with Emperor Wanli. Can't he let his sister marry again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger made a group of sons lower their heads and dare not speak.

……

Zhou Yuan clicked on the following video again.

[Some people speculate that the reason why Princess Yongning did not remarry was because of the strict etiquette system in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially under the suppression of the Confucian Chastity Arch, Princess Yongning did not dare to mention the matter of remarriage for fear of becoming an excuse for attacks by officials.

This strict etiquette system also started during the Zhu Yuanzhang period. 】

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang spurted out donated blood. It was all his fault.

The great Confucians before the Ming Dynasty were confused.

Chastity Arch?

What the hell is that?

We Confucians have this.

If we remember correctly, Confucius was born to his mother and his father Yehe.

If we were to build a chastity arch, wouldn’t we have to deny Confucius first?
After thinking about it, the great Confucians before the Ming Dynasty made a two-word evaluation of Ming Dynasty Confucianism, which was wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry.

He said angrily: "I have strict etiquette to eliminate bad habits."

"But I didn't stop the princesses from remarrying."

Zhu Biao and others did not dare to interrupt.

But the civil and military officials in Hongwu years were laughing in their hearts.

Hey, please don't marry your daughter to us.

I'm dumbfounded.

Got fooled.
