In order to prevent Yurao from becoming pregnant, the emperor set up a total of 3 insurances, and the completion was just talking
As a historian, let me give you a glimpse of this historical background. We know that in the story of Zhen Huan, the emperor's feelings for Chunyuan are very deep, and her death made him very painful. So he began to collect various items related to Chun Yuan to ease the grief in his heart.
And the emperor became interested in Yurao, mainly because she looked very similar to Chunyuan. Although Yurao directly rejected the emperor's courtship, the emperor still found it difficult to give up. In order to prevent Yurao from giving birth, the emperor laid out three insurances:
First, exiled Yurao along with her family to the cold Ningguta, making it difficult for her to get pregnant; second, at Yurao's wedding, she was given a "sachet" that had been spelled, making it difficult for her to conceive; Third, the son of King Guojun, Yuan Che, was passed on to Yurao and his wife, so that even if Yurao wanted to have children, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough in childbirth.
It can be said that the emperor's approach was full of insidiousness and calculation. On the one hand, he showed the posture of becoming a perfect Yurao, but in fact, he secretly set up many obstacles. This practice is undoubtedly an act of violating the will and rights of others, and it is also contrary to the moral norms that the emperor should treat his subjects fairly.
Although Yurao did not give birth to her own children in the end, she still chose to spend the rest of her life with her loved ones, which is undoubtedly a happier and freer choice. In contrast, those concubines who were valued by the emperor, although their status was respected, were often harassed and persecuted by the emperor.
In general, this history once again proves the cruelty and ruthlessness of imperial power, as well as the fragility of the rights of subjects. We should learn from this experience, cherish the freedom and happiness of the present, uphold human rights, and build a more just social order.
Throughout history, it is not difficult for us to find that the cruelty and ruthlessness of imperial power often come from the personal obsession and preference of the monarch. In this story, the emperor has a soft spot for his deceased wife, Chunyuan, and can't let it go, so he sets his sights on Yurao, who is very similar. However, the emperor did not do so out of sincerity, but tried to use Yurao as a substitute for Chunyuan. This practice is undoubtedly a serious violation of Yurao's personal wishes.
It is worth mentioning that Yurao did not blindly reject the emperor, but made a rational choice based on her own values and yearning for freedom. She clearly realized that court life was not what she longed for, and even if she became an imperial concubine, she could not get sincere love. Therefore, she resolutely rejected the emperor, preferring to spend the rest of her life hand in hand with her loved ones rather than become the emperor's plaything.
Such a choice is undoubtedly admirable. In an environment full of intrigue and calculation, Yurao still maintains a clear mind and a firm will. She chose freedom and happiness over vanity and power. This kind of courage and wisdom is undoubtedly worthy of our learning and respect.
Of course, Yurao's experience also makes us think deeply about the disadvantages of imperial power. As subjects, we deserve to be treated fairly and justly, but there have been many times in history when monarchs have abused their power and trampled on the rights of their subjects. This situation not only violates the duties of the monarch, but also harms the harmony and stability of society.
Therefore, we should learn from this history, uphold human rights, and build a more just social order. Only in this way can we ensure that everyone can enjoy freedom and happiness and no longer suffer from the oppression and exploitation of imperial power. This is also our responsibility and obligation as historians.
