Why didn t the ancients want to be a colt?

In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, for example, this three-grade official in the Tang Dynasty is actually a three-rank foreign official, what does it mean, although it is a three-grade but it is outside the establishment, which is equivalent to having no real power, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" clearly stipulates: The horse is not allowed to enter the office, and his son is not allowed to serve in the Beijing rank.

This means that in addition to being a "colt", a colt cannot be an official in the court, and second, he cannot lead troops to fight, even if he is a child of a colt, he must follow these principles! Think about yourself for ten years, studying hard to test your fame, isn't it just to realize your ambitions and show your ambitions?

The horse can't enter the army or lead the army, and he has to be obedient to the princess, asking for peace several times a day, and the pressure is very high.

It's not that you don't dare to take concubines, but you can't take concubines at all. Ancient horses were indeed looked down upon in the upper classBut for the people at the bottom, being able to become a colt is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

In fact, in our eyes now, the ancient concubine is just a son-in-law, but the name is a little better. As we all know, sons-in-law have always been looked down upon from ancient times to the present. It's just that the colt has the blessing of royal status, so basically no one dares to look down on the colt on the surface.

Behind the scenes, though, most of them will taunt. <>

In fact, the status of the ancient colt was not too high, and there were many requirements for being a colt. Not only should culture and talent be highlighted, but there are also strict requirements in the pharmaceutical trade. The colt does not have the right to choose, only the right to be chosen.

In ancient times, men were inferior to women, but this was very different in the royal family. The princess will always have a higher status than the colt, and the colt must listen to the princess in all circumstances. Not to mention taking concubines, if you don't have the permission of the princess, this is tantamount to violating the royal rules and will be killed.

For civilians, it is a great joy to be able to become a colt. But for Xiucai who participated in the imperial examination, it was a very bad thing. Because in ancient times, there were strict rules that horses were not allowed to participate in any court affairs.

In other words, it is equivalent to that the road in the official career has been broken, even if he is retired by the princess in the future, he will not be able to continue to participate in the imperial examination. <>

It may be completely different from what we imagined, and we think that it is very happy to be able to marry a princess. But this is not the case for a real colt. Because the appearance of the princess cannot be chosen by the colt itself, some princesses may be very beautiful, but the vast majority of princesses are not satisfactory.

Rough argument <>

Of course not. will not be looked down upon, they married the emperor's daughter, which is already the highest glory.

Ancient concubines did not dare to take concubines, and the status of ancient concubines was not particularly high, and they would be looked down upon.

"Horse" originally referred to the horse captain, is one of the ancient official positions, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to place the horse captain, that is, the deputy. The captain of the horse, the horse in charge of the deputy car. When the emperor traveled, he rode in the main car, and the other carriages accompanying him were auxiliary cars.

The original meaning of the word "horse" is: in ancient times, several horses drove a car together, and horses other than horses were called "attached". In the pre-Qin and Han Dynasty, the emperor traveled more by car, from the perspective of safety, in order to keep his whereabouts from the world, in addition to calling the car he was riding in, there were also many auxiliary cars that were exactly the same as the form of the main car, and at the same time, a special stand-in was set up to cover people's eyes and ears, so as to show that the emperor was on the "auxiliary car".

During the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang and Hercules stopped Qin Shi Huang at Bolangsha (present-day Yuanyang County, Henan), but Qin Shi Huang was spared because he only hit the auxiliary car. The word "驸馬" became the abbreviation of the official name of "驸馬都尉", which was first seen in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (see "Hanshu Baiguan Gongqing Table").

"Horse" is a kind of official position that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to set up, its full name is "Horse Duwei", the duty is to control the horses that drive the auxiliary car when the emperor goes out, and most of them are filled by the descendants of the clan and relatives and princesses, and it is a kind of close attendant. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the emperor's son-in-law was often given this title. For example, Du Pre of the Jin Dynasty married Princess Gaolu, the sister of Sima Zhao, and became Sima Yi's son-in-law.

For example, Liu Hengwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the son-in-law of Emperor Sima Shao of the Ming Dynasty, and he also became a concubine successively. Since then, the emperor's son-in-law has been routinely added to the title of Captain of the Horse, and the Horse is no longer an actual official position but has become a pronoun for the emperor's son-in-law. In the Qing Dynasty, the horse was renamed "Edon", and the meaning was basically the same.

Please see the textual record:

Du You's "General Dictionary": "Feng Che, Horse, Riding Three Captains, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuan Ding at the beginning of the second year. Horses, [Note:

Horses, not driving, are auxiliary horses. One said: Near, near, sick.

Riding the captain of the capital and the supervisor of Yulin riding, and Dou Ying for the court, the Later Han and Guangluxun. The court invited no members, not officials, and the three princes, relatives, royal family, and princes of the Han Dynasty were invited by the court. Those who are invited by the court will only be summoned by the court.

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty also invited the imperial family and relatives to serve as the three captains. Emperor Yuan was the king of Jin, and he joined the army as the commander of the chariot, Peng was the commander of the horse, and the person who joined the army was the captain of the horse, all of whom were invited by the court. After the resignation, the car was dismissed, and the second lieutenant was ridden, and only the horse was left to be invited by the court.

The princesses of the princesses, such as Liu Yi and Huan Wen, are all for it. Since the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, he has invited the selection of miscellaneous in order to serve the dynasty, and the only one who is still the master is to worship the horse commander. Qi Fengchao invited the lieutenants of the horses and the scattered horses to the middle officials, and collected the book to save the post.

Qi Zhiyi said: Princess Fanshang worships the captain of the horse. Liang Sandu Lieutenant has no rank, and he is a chariot and a horse, all of them are military crowns and court clothes, and silver medals and green ribbons.

Liang Chen's horses are all princesses. Later, Wei and Ma Duwei were also princess officials, although they were Gao Qingyin, and this post did not go. There were twenty chariots and sixty captains.

The Northern Qi horse is the same as the Later Wei. In the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, he was invited by the court. During the reign of Emperor Yang, the chariots and horses were abolished.

The Tang Dynasty is from the five products, and they are all the masters. In August of the third year of Kaiyuan, the commander of the horse was ...... from the fifth rank

"驸" refers to a horse, three horses pull a cart, and the horses on the left and right sides are called "donkey". The "concubine" is the person in charge of the emperor's "concubine", and he is not a small official. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to have the official position of "Commander of the Horse", which was in charge of the "Captain" of the emperor's chariot.
