Only four emperors in Qing Dynasty enjoyed wedding treatment. How did the matchmaker become an angel?

Only four emperors enjoy the wedding treatment.

Today, I mainly talk about some knowledge about the emperor's wedding. Everyone thought that the Qing emperor lived in the Forbidden City and should get married there, but it was not. If the emperor holds a wedding in the Forbidden City, there must be such a premise. He was still very young when he became emperor, and he couldn't hold a wedding in the palace until he was of marriageable age. If he gets married before he becomes emperor, then he will hold a simple ceremony after he inherits the throne.

Qing Dynasty, from Shunzhi to Xuan Tong. Among the ten emperors, only Shunzhi, Kangxi, Tongzhi and Guangxu. The weddings of these four emperors were all held in the Forbidden City, which was called the "big wedding". The last emperor Puyi also held a wedding in the Forbidden City, but it was already the Republic of China.

The four emperors mentioned above were all very young when they acceded to the throne. Kangxi is the oldest, only 8 years old, and Guangxu is the youngest, only 4 years old. However, as we all know, the age of marriage in Yong Zhengdi is not clearly recorded in the literature.

Everyone gathered in the queen's house.

Before the real wedding ceremony, the Qing emperor had a special link, that is, the draft girl. Draft women handed down as a system in Qing Dynasty. For example, the Ming court also chose some beautiful women among the people, but they were not systematic and unconventional. Before the Qing emperor got married, he held a female recruitment activity every three years.

The reason why the draft women were held was because the Qing emperor thought he owned the world, so he hoped to bring all the best women in his area into the harem and let them go to the world. But don't forget, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty is Manchu, so only the daughters of the Eight Banners who meet the requirements can be elected to the palace.

At that time, there were three kinds of flags: Manchu Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners. The Eight Banners of the Han Army are quite special. They are actually Han Chinese, but they submit to Manchu. At that time, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji asked them to be standard bearers, so they were also standard bearers. Each species has eight flags and one has twenty-four flags.

The Qing Dynasty stipulated that women of school age who raised 24 flags every three years must stand for election. At that time, the household registration department was the household registration department, which not only managed the household registration, but also managed the national finance at that time. The Ministry of the Interior issued documents to commanders of 24 flags, informing them to recruit women.

If the first round is brushed, it is called "losing cards" and these people can get married at will.

If the primary election is registered, she can be assigned to the prince as a registered showgirl. If the emperor is not married, he can register at the household registration office at any time and wait for re-election. During the re-election, some people will be elected as queens, while others will be elected as concubines. When Emperor Guangxu got married, he drew a "Wedding Atlas" from the beginning of choosing a woman. There are many pages, drawing the whole process of marriage. After choosing a queen, it's not that you live in the palace, it's just a prelude.

The selected female yogi must go back to her mother's house and wait for the relevant ceremony before she can marry into the palace. For example, Nara, the empress of Guangxu, can take a sedan chair in the palace when she returns to her mother's house. When she went back, no one went home, and Jin Fei and Zhen Fei were also selected at that time. At that time, Guangxu had two concubines, Jin Fei and Zhen Fei followed her back to Nora's house, waiting for the next marriage procedure.

The queen, Nora's father, is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eight Banners and a senior official. There are many houses in their family. He opened up a courtyard called Xisuo. The queen and the queen will live here. After staying here, the queen's family can no longer contact. because

As for the premarital ceremony, it includes "accepting gifts" and "receiving gifts". When the "recruiting talents" was held, the queen waited at home, the emperor chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then held the "recruiting talents ceremony". The "gift of accepting talents" means that the emperor appointed a specific envoy to the queen's family. Being an ambassador is not easy. Important princes and ministers first provided the emperor with a list of candidates, and then the emperor delineated who would become ambassadors. Ambassador Naked also has a deputy named Deputy Ambassador Naked. Some media said "that's an angel" and "that's an assistant angel". Why did the emperor's matchmaker suddenly become an angel?

The "talent messenger" must first go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the "Wanshou Festival" and hold this festival to exercise the rights on behalf of the emperor. As we all know, some foreign officials are now called "envoys", which is actually short for "keeping festivals".

When people are engaged, they will also bring some small gifts to the woman's family. When the emperor gets married, he has to go through formalities and give gifts.

The Qing Dynasty was a country of riding and shooting. He never forgot his riding and shooting fashion, so he sent horses, armor, cloth and money. In the early days, geese were sent, just like birds. Go south when it is cold, and go north when it is hot. Explain that girls should be polite and know what to do and what not to do.

After the ceremony, that is, after the matchmaker has finished speaking, the bride's family will also thank the matchmaker by inviting him to dinner and sending some gifts. But the emperor is supreme. He also held a Naxi banquet. The emperor ordered people to prepare the banquet in the queen's house instead of inviting people from the palace. It was the royal family that organized the Naxi banquet to thank the queen's father. It means that a family like theirs has raised such a good daughter for the Great Qing Dynasty, and it is against the folk custom for the emperor to treat his father-in-law at home.
