What kind of existence did the profession of sovereign exist in ancient times?

In ancient times, Wang Ye was in a high position, enjoying all the splendor, but not being free.

First of all, being a sovereign is a good thing. After all, it is the monarch of a country, and it is a mobile phone within the scope of fief, at least equivalent to the current governor. Forget about real power. When local officials meet the monarch, they will dismount and bow.

Does your majesty need a job? Of course not. As a monarch, you naturally have your own minions and maids. Besides the princess, there are several beautiful concubines to serve you.

In the eyes of ordinary people who have to work and draw water and chop wood, it is a blessing to be a prince who doesn't work and is served. But your majesty, he may not think this is a blessing.

In the past, the plot of Mary Sue was often found in romance novels. The author wrote:

"Don't be reborn to the emperor's house in the next life."

Why? Because being a monarch is not free, there are worries in life.

If anyone has read Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, they will know that the princes in the Ming Dynasty were not good either. The monarch of a country is always worried that these princes are not satisfied with their luxurious life and want to replace themselves.

Therefore, the prince of the Ming dynasty gave the fief and left Beijing immediately, and could not come back.

Just like Judy, the prince of Yan, he replaced the emperor Wen Jian when he came back, but if he never returned to Beijing, he would stay in the fief, which is not much different from exile in the form of Ningguta.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince didn't have to starve and freeze, the court would still pay a fixed salary every year. I'm afraid that the prince who was far away from the fief could feel the homesickness of a shepherd in Suwu.

In addition to not being free, you must also be alert that you will be involved in the struggle for office and uprooted by your superiors if you are not careful. The history of Emperor Taizong's reign in Li Shimin is a typical case of killing his brother Wang Ye.

At that time, Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin, launched the change of Xuanwu Gate, killing not only Prince Li, but also Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

Therefore, the monarch is not necessarily a good position, he is always worried about his life.
