This is a poem about love written by Nalan Xingde in the Qing Dynasty.
Many people have only heard the first sentence, and few people know the following sentences, thinking that this poem is about the beautiful love of two people who have been together for a lifetime, but reading through the whole article, people deeply feel that the two are in love with each other, but they have no choice but to separate the regret of reality.
In the modern fast-food love, the deep love of the ancients is so desirable.
However, as we all know, women in ancient feudal societies had a low status and practiced polygamy, how could a man be a couple for a lifetime when facing many men?
Especially for the emperor, the standard configuration is three palaces and six courtyards, and they have to be drafted every year, and there are many palace maids in the palace, and there are countless warblers and swallows around him at any time.
In such a situation, it is impossible to be able to accommodate only one person.
Therefore, among the 494 emperors in the history of our country, only three emperors have done it.
If you want to say what the emperor is most afraid of, it must be the merit of the master, as a prince or prince, you need to have a deep-rooted status inside and outside the court family assistance, after successfully ascending to the throne, the already powerful family has become powerful.
At this time, the former comrades-in-arms have become the biggest enemies at the moment.
Either it is secretly eradicated, or the emperor becomes the puppet of this family, the so-called most ruthless imperial family, people's hearts are unpredictable, and few can balance each other.
The second emperor of the Western Wei period, Yuan Qin, was the latter.
The Yuan clan of the Western Wei Dynasty relied on the Yuwen family to fight down, and Yuan Qin's father was restrained by the Yuwen family after he ascended the throne, and he was not at ease in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
The young Yuanqing didn't understand these tricks, he longed for the life of the barracks very much, and the young man with fresh blood was driven by desire to enter the military camp of Yuwentai as he wished.
In close contact with Yu Wentai, he got to know his daughter Yu Wenying, and the two successfully became relatives under the arrangement of the family.
But their love is not the product of marriage.
The heroic Yu Wenying has long fallen in love with Yuan Qin at first sight, and Yuan Qin is also deeply attracted to her, and the two can be regarded as going both ways.
Later, with the support of Yuwentai, Yuan Qin successfully succeeded to the throne.
Yuan Qin after becoming emperor,Yu Wenying naturally became the queen, and did not accept other concubines after that, making the Yuwen clan even more dominant, causing other courtiers to be dissatisfied.
Everyone in the world thought that Yuan Qin's refusal to accept a concubine was due to the pressure of the Yuwen clan, but perhaps because of the various feelings between the two, they could no longer tolerate others.
But their love didn't last long, after Yuan Qin became the emperor, he naturally wanted to take back the imperial power, and did something unfavorable to the Yuwen family, after being detected by Yuwentai.
They abandoned Yuan Qin as if they were like a fool, and acted recklessly, personally delivered a cup of poison to Yuan Qin's mouth, and died after only five years of reign, and Yu Wenying was so grief-stricken that he died in tears.
The story of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, and Empress Dugu is known to many people.
Originally, Yang Jian had no chance of being on the throne, but the change of kings at that time was extremely fast, and they were all mediocre and incompetent, and under the persecution of many forces, they could only choose to establish themselves as kings.
And Queen Dugu's family, the Dugu clan, had a huge power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which laid the foundation for him to later create the Sui Dynasty and end the chaotic situation during the Northern and Southern Dynasties for 500 years.
It can be said that the two supported each other all the way, born and died, which can be described as a deep love between the couple.
After Yang Jian became emperor, the country flourished in an all-round way under his leadership.
Perhaps it is because he is diligent in political affairs and rarely wastes time in the harem that he has such great achievements.
And the monogamy he pursued with Queen Dugu also won him some popular hearts and praise from later generations.
In this way, it seems that the two have truly achieved a lifetime and a couple.
However, an incident happened later that broke the relationship between the two and destroyed the innocent and resolute relationship at the beginning.
After being an emperor for decades, Yang Jian has always adhered to his duty, was very good to Queen Dugu, and gave her all his favoritism, perhaps he fell into the whirlpool of the seven-year itch, and after a drunkenness, he pampered the palace maid who came to take care of him.
After the vicious Queen Dugu knew about this, she gave the palace maid to death.
Although Yang Jian was very heartbroken, he finally compromised in the face of Queen Dugu's questioning and the poisonous oath that he promised to marry her alone.
But once there is a rift between husband and wife, it is difficult to reconcile.
The two who had an estrangement in their hearts spent a few more years in the same bed and different dreams, although Yang Jian did not make any more mistakes later, but this has long deviated from the original oath.
Queen Dugu died two years before Yang Jian, and whether he spoiled other women in these two years is unknown, but during his reign, he did only accept Queen Dugu as his wife, which is really rare.
It all shows that the emperors of the dynasty are all wonderful, and Zhu Youzhu is one of them, who only marries one person as a wife in this life, but the situation is not the same as the previous two emperors.
His father is Zhu Jianshen, the emperor who is famous in history and favors the palace maid Wan.
Although Wan is only a dozen years older than Zhu Jianshen, he was raised by Wan, and to a certain extent, it can be said that Wan Shi is his elder.
But it is in this warm and affectionate company,Zhu Jianshen actually had a deep affection for her, ignoring the ** of the courtiers, making her favor the sixth palace and sealing her ten thousand concubines, making the queen at that time seem to be a fictitious.
And Wan Guifei may be due to her age, she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for him, and she has no backer behind her, so she can only consolidate her position by constantly suppressing other concubines, so that there is no birth of a prince and a princess for a long time.
But Zhu Youji's appearance interrupted her plan, Zhu Jianshen was drunk and pampered a palace maid, due to her low status, no one cared, and successfully gave birth to a prince.
But under the bewitchment of Wan Guifei, Zhu Jianshen was not interested in his only son, coupled with the death of his mother and the later bullying of Wan Guifei, he lost interest in women, and even a little afraid.
The only wife was married according to the arrangement of the important ministers, and she never touched other women after ascending to the throne.
In ancient times, there could be a lifetime and a couple, probably only in the poor, after all, women at that time were a symbol of status and status, and rich and noble families were generally proud of having many wives and concubines.
It is precisely because of these ideas that the emperor on the top of ten thousand people should have three palaces and six courts, so it is really rare to be able to accept only one person.
Fortunately, people's minds have been emancipated, equality between men and women is advocated, and there is also a correct view of love such as monogamy.
