Choosing a wife for a prince can be said to be simple or complicated. Anyway, it is either the Eight Great Surnames, or Borzigit, or else she belongs to an official family. No matter whether she is Manchu, Mongolian or Han, she is all under the banner.
The complexity depends on the prince's actual situation and the emperor's arrangements.
Looking at Kangxi's marriage experience and the distribution of the concubines in the harem, we know that if you want to make a living in the emperor's harem and still want to eat well and be full, you have to look at the actual needs of the emperor. What is the height of the emperor's birth?
You are a common man, what you have and what your talents are are not that important.
For example, the eight major surnames under Manchuria seem to be great in numbers, but the large clans are prosperous, and if the direct line of the father and ancestors does not have a title, it will be useless if they are not high-ranking officials. Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are typical examples. If you have a good surname, it is better to be a
The concubine has endured for so many years.
Yi Fei's Guo Luoluo family name was not one of the eight major surnames, and Amma was just a subordinate in the family, but this did not stop her from being named Yi concubine even if she did not have children, and she was particularly favored by Kangxi.
As for Empress Xiaozhao, Niu Hulu, she was the daughter of Ye Bilong and the direct descendant of E Yidu, the five founding ministers. She was more than qualified to be a queen.
But so what?
In the end, we have to wait until Queen Renxiao dies before she can be promoted as her successor!
You must know that the Hesheli family has been rich for only two generations starting from Sony. Sony's father was just a bachelor of the Zhiwen Academy outside the Pass. He was directly related to Niu Hulu. Outside the Pass, he gave birth to Taizong Huang Taiji Yuanfei and his descendant Shangzhu.
, the Haoying family marrying a clan daughter is simply incomparable.
But a girl from the Hesheli family became a queen, and her grandson was granted the title of prince. The daughter of a first-class duke entered the palace as a concubine without a title. She spent many years with the concubines, and she had to hold back if she didn't accept it.
Because Kangxi stood behind Hesheli, he needed Hesheli's daughter to be his queen, and the two had a good relationship.
If this is not enough, then look at today's Concubine De and Concubine Wei. So what if they were born in a concubine? What if the palace maid pulled it out? After giving birth to a prince, she will still be a concubine, and her son will still have a bright future.
Therefore, for the emperor and the royal children, no matter how good the wife's family background is, it is just the icing on the cake. It is not like marrying a descendant of the five ministers, and the daughter-in-law of a famous family can become the prince. If you really have such an idea, it is simply not worth it.
Make a joke.
What's more, it's inevitable that everyone in a big family will have some good and bad. If someone comes along and does evil things, it's better not to have this "good relative".
When the emperor chooses a wife for his son, he naturally has to choose one that is suitable for the family. Kangxi, who was determined to be a good father and hoped that his sons would always be friendly, had to think about other aspects besides the general hard conditions.
of more.
Well, as a worried father in the feudal era, Kangxi, who had begun to choose a wife for his ten-year-old eldest son, was currently writing and drawing on paper in the Nuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall, outlining the families in Beijing who could be his in-laws.
No wonder.
Kangxi naturally had his own arrangements for the marriages of his children. For example, for Da Gege, he thought of appointing a small class to Borzijit. This child is now working as a guard in the capital. Once he gets older and has a little more experience, he can be commissioned.
Due to the heavy responsibility, Da Gege not only married Borzigit, but also stayed in the capital for a long time.
In this way, the brotherhood between him and Chang Ning was fulfilled. Secondly, the children could fulfill their filial piety at the knees of the two queen mothers. Thirdly, Horqin was comforted. With three birds of a feather, the perfectionist Xuan Ye was very satisfied.
But when it was Yinti's turn to choose a wife, Kangxi, who really started to outline the scope, was a little troubled. There was no doubt that he valued his eldest son and his fatherly love, but after all, Yinti still had the crown prince Yinreng above him.
If Yinti is a young prince who is very different in age from Yinreng, then marrying a daughter of the fifth minister and a first-class public family is not that important. As for the younger son, the political significance is not that important, and it will not matter if he is of the same age.
Some people are overly divergent.
But Yinti is the eldest son of the emperor, and there are uncles like Mingzhu outside. Kangxi hopes that his sons can always be as friendly as they are now. Then he must eliminate all possibilities that may affect the brotherhood. Kangxi marked several surnames
Said: The eldest son’s daughter-in-law cannot come from this.
There are only a few princes in the palace. Without the intention of choosing the Borzigit family for the crown prince and eldest son, if Yinti marries a daughter-in-law of too high a family, I am afraid it will be awkward for Yinti to get along with her when she gets married in the future.
It's not beautiful to have a grudge.
It is not often said among the people that brothers are always brothers, and sisters-in-law are not sisters-in-law. The emperor also gained some insights after reading various reports from his ministers on the situation among the people.
Kangxi would never agree to exclude several public houses and ask the emperor to choose the eldest daughter-in-law from a low-level official at will. He sketched and finally selected: the eldest son's daughter-in-law would either live in a marquis or earl's palace, or live in the palace.
Six books are chosen by the ministers at home.
It is necessary to choose several generations of the family to serve as officials in the court. Not to mention the girl's forehead, Amma must have a good appearance. She must have seen the world and be well educated. She must behave appropriately and her temper must not be too hard.
A son is better than a father. Kangxi knew that the boy Yinti looked good-tempered, but he was a man who got along well with his elders, brothers and sisters. Seeing how he tidied up his grandmother, subdued Haha Zhuzi and the guards, and kept everything in order, he knew that this boy
He has a strong temper on the inside and is very determined.
He suddenly got a wife, and if the girl has a very tough temper, what might happen if the two of them don't get along. Yinti is the first to get married, and he and Fujin get along well, so he can also bring good things to his younger brothers.
Head. Everything is prosperous when the family is harmonious, and harmony and beauty are the best.
At the end of Kangxi's writing and drawing, he suddenly realized that the first thing he had to do was to determine whether the families he had chosen had daughters of the right age, and how many. What if he fell in love with a certain minister, but they did not have daughters?
It's embarrassing.
The emperor put the piece of paper away and then ordered: "Go to the Consultant's office and ask him to find the list of the show girls from the last and next draft. I want to see it. Also, ask him to write down the names of the girls under his banner.
The daughter of an official of the second rank or above who is over ten years old but not old enough to stand for election."
No matter what the conspiracy is, as long as you want to achieve the goal, in the final analysis, you must make the goal concrete, and then you must make arrangements. If you want to do it, you will definitely take action. Then people who are interested will naturally smell it.
The emperor suddenly looked at the list of beautiful girls, and asked the chief eunuch consultant to count the girls who were not old enough to participate in the election but were over ten years old. This was definitely not for him to choose a concubine. It only took a quick glance to understand that the emperor could make such a big move.
Among people, only the eldest son of the emperor barely reached the age of marriage.
Hooray, the capital is a bit too noisy now. The eldest son of the emperor is very good, but there is another big fish. Everyone is reminded that the eldest son of the emperor is only two years older than the crown prince. If he gets married in recent years, the prince will be the crown prince in another two years.
Aren’t you about to get married too? You must know that the emperor was only twelve when he got married!
With the emperor's move, who can guarantee that he will not take a look at the candidate for the crown prince... Banner people do not have taboos about women being older than the men when they get married. Who says the crown prince cannot be two years older than the prince?
Therefore, everyone was eager to give their children extra lessons and waited for the summons from the palace. Not wanting to wait and wait, they actually waited for the news of the death of Prince Jane Labu. He was the iron-hatted king and should be avoided in the palace.
When Prince Jian's funeral was over, Labu's younger brother Yabu succeeded to the throne, and autumn finally arrived in the capital, the Queen Mother said she wanted to meet the girls from her ministers' families, and everyone in the capital said, "Old Queen Mother."
Are you still doing this?" smile.
Cining Palace was very lively. Ji Lan, in addition to her few accompanying students, also played with Princess Kang's family. She was one year older than Yin Ti, and was gradually getting to know the world, so she knew that so many little girls were here.
It's for my brother to look after his wife.
"Shu Shen, come with me. I'll take you for a walk." Ji Lan looked helplessly at Prince Kang Gege. This girl followed Prince Kang Fujin into the palace yesterday to say hello, but the Empress Dowager stayed with her for a few days. She didn't expect to meet her.
This kind of thing.
King Kang nodded, what else could she say? A few days ago, when the court was celebrating its merits, some people said that Prince Jieshu of Ama Kang had delayed the military flight in Kinmen and refused to rescue Haicheng, so the emperor was furious and deprived her of Ama's military honors.
, and a fine of one year's salary.
The money was nothing, but it was really embarrassing to lose the military merit. Shushen followed Er Niang into the palace, originally wanting to hit the wooden clock, but she didn't want the empress dowager to speak out and keep her. At least Ji Lan got along well with her.
Seeing that worrying is useless now, it might not be a bad idea to just play with Da Gege for a few days.
"Are you Princess Kang's family?"
Ji Lan took Shushen Gege to the long street, where she and Yinti rode horses in the past, but she didn't expect Yinti to be here. There was also a little one next to her - fourth elder brother Yinzhen. Yinti seemed very distressed, originally squatting
On the ground, as soon as I saw them running towards me, I quickly said hello.
When Shu Shen was lucky, Ji Lan said, "Yin Zhen, why are you here?"
"I'm here to learn archery from my eldest brother!" The fat fourth brother waved the small bow in his hand. "My eldest brother promised to teach me. I want to be as good at shooting as my eldest brother. Khan Ama also said that my eldest brother's archery is worth it."
Let’s learn…”
This string of words was spoken extremely fluently, and the eloquent words were not finished yet. For the first time, Ji Lan discovered that the fourth elder brother was actually a talkative person!
Yinti's face turned pale: "I can't make it. He's going to drive me crazy because of his nagging. Let's go!"
"Brother, you promised to teach me archery."
"Oh, it's obviously you who blocked my door this morning, please don't cry." Yinzhen seemed very sad when he heard what he said, and was about to cry when his nose twitched. Yinzhen was really afraid of him, "Brother, let me tell you, this bow and arrow
, don’t be anxious, you can’t learn it now.”
"Really?"
Yinzhen looked serious: "It's really true, Yinzhen, listen to my elder brother, you can just draw the bow now. You have to learn to walk first, then learn to run. Draw the bow first, then shoot!"
"Okay, I'll practice by myself." Yinzhen fiddled with his small bow and began to draw the bow in a precise manner.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, he was gone. He told Yinzhen's eunuchs and mammies to keep an eye on his fourth brother, don't let him practice for too long, and send him back to his place as soon as possible. Then he secretly
He put down his bow and arrow, winked at Ji Lan and Shushen, and left quickly!
If you are a little later, if you are discovered by the chatterbox, you will not be able to leave!
The author has something to say: With the personality of the fourth child, he should have been quite cute when he was a child. He has never experienced huge emotional fluctuations. He has a stable relationship with his biological mother.

Some background needs to be mentioned.
1. As for the relationship between the harem and the previous dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, I said in the comments that it doesn’t matter much. The harem is a small extension of the relationship with the previous dynasty. It is one of the means to balance the power, but it is not the only one. It plays a very important role.
It can be used in special times, such as the early years of Kangxi, but can be ignored in the future.
Kangxi himself did not say anything bad about his other daughters-in-law except for scolding the eight Fujins. He also didn't care about his son's side affairs with Fujins or how many concubines he found. He basically didn't care about his son's housework, so he paid no attention to his son's housework.
Not taking concubines is really a small problem.
Moreover, even in the official families of the Qing Dynasty, such as the Mingzhu family's Kuixu, Kuifang did not have concubines. There was no such thing as crazy concubinage in order to have a son.
Mingzhu herself is not just a wife.
If we look at the origins of the Kangxi princes' first wives, Fujin, as mentioned in the article, they either came from a wealthy family - such as the Seventeenth Prince's Fujin (Duke Niu Hulu, daughter of Aling'a, niece of Empress Xiaozhao), or
The meritorious family is related to the royal family or clan, such as the Guarjia family of the crown prince. Otherwise, she is the daughter of a high-ranking official, such as Dafujin, Shishifujin, etc.
This was only determined based on the prince's age, the emperor's own views on his daughter-in-law's father-in-law, and his own qualities during the draft. For example, for Yinqi's Fujin, Kangxi felt that Fujin's grandfather was "elegant and distinguished", so he chose this person for his son.
Granddaughter to be my wife.
So it can be said to be both complicated and not complicated.
2. This Princess of the Kang family later married Kuifang. Princess Shushen, named Huiqing, was the eighth daughter of Prince Heshuokang and the third wife of Prime Minister Minggong. She was also conferred as the wife of Kuifang. The source is
Princess's epitaph.
There are many revelations about the epitaph of Nalan Pearl series.
3. This leads to the third question. According to the setting of this article, Mingzhu is the uncle of the hero. Kangxi was not overly worried at this time that he would help the hero fight for the heirloom. When he considered the relationship between brothers, he still considered it from within the family.
.This is based on history, because it is recognized that Mingzhu is a cunning person, and he is not deeply involved in the fight for the reserve, otherwise he will not live a stable life.
What's more important is that in the Mingzhu family, only Kuixu supported Lao Ba in the end, and Kuifang did not participate. But Kuixu died very early, more than fifty years after Kangxi. Therefore, Yongzheng later vented his anger only against Kuixu,
Kuifang was not affected.
The Mingzhu line reached the Qianlong Dynasty. Qianlong's Concubine Shu and Fu Heng's wife were both great-granddaughters of Mingzhu. Fu Heng's wife was recorded in the "Instances of the Qing Dynasty Huidian" as Mrs. Nala. Yongxian Lu said that Fu Heng was the Ming Dynasty's great-granddaughter.
His son-in-law. The Ming family had a special line of pearls in the Qing Dynasty.
The pearl is the Nala clan, the Nala clan. His father-in-law is Yehebel, and together with the place name, it is Yehenala. Some people also write it as Yehenalan...
****************
Having said so much, the point is that the reason why Yin Ti and Yin Reng could not fight against each other for so long was not because of the Mingzhu Party. Because the Mingzhu Party ceased to exist after Mingzhu was cut into pieces by Kangxi. Mingzhu's good popularity does not mean that he is still
I can get people to help my eldest brother fight for savings.
When Kuexu supported Lao Ba, Mingzhu had already died. Kuixu relied on Kangxi's love for him. Kangxi particularly admired Kuixu. Because Kuixu and his wife had no children, Kangxi personally selected an heir for Kuixu and his wife.
Adopted and renamed the child Yongshou, hoping that the child would live long.
Similarly, the reason why Yin Ti was able to separate from Yin Reng was due to Kangxi's preference for him... There is not much information about the eldest son, but what has been preserved can still be seen that Kangxi did favor the eldest son besides the prince.
Otherwise, the original version of Yinti would not have been so reckless as to open his mouth and say, "Don't worry, Ama, I'll help you kill this unfilial son, the prince." This simply ignores the old father's mood, plus his brain. This son is so stupid,
