As for the emperor's empresses, there is a popular saying that there are seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six hospitals. In fact, this is just a general statement. Empresses and concubines of emperors in past dynasties were similar, but they were not the same in name and quantity.

The so-called three palaces in the folk generally refer to the middle palace and the east and west palaces where empresses live. In fact, this is the system after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The third palace first refers to the place where princes and ministers live, while the emperor's queen lives in the sixth house. "The Book of Rites" said: "The queen has six palaces, and the princes' wives have three palaces." "Zhou Li? "The Palace Massacre" said: "The Queen is handsome in the Sixth Hospital." Zheng Xuan noted the six palaces: "One is the official bedroom, the other is the Yan bedroom, a total of six palaces." The sixth palace is the residence of the queen, so it is often used to address the queen, just as the later generations used the middle palace to address the queen. With the establishment of feudal society and the demise of princes, the meaning of the three palaces has changed. In the Han Dynasty, the emperor, empress dowager and empress were collectively called the Three Palaces, also known as the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager. In Tang Dynasty, Mu Zongshi also called two empresses and empresses three palaces.

The Sixth Courtyard is the Sixth Courtyard, which refers to the palace (garden) where empresses live. By the Tang Dynasty, the concept of six palaces had not specifically referred to the queen, but generally referred to empresses. Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" and Li He's "Lady Gong Beifu" all refer to empresses, not queens. After the Ming dynasty, empresses were generally called three palaces and six hospitals.

The so-called seventy-two concubines only refer to a large number of concubines in the harem. In fact, the number of concubines in the harem is far more than 72. "Guan Zi Xiao Kuang" says: "Nine concubines and six concubines, and Chen concubines and thousands". "The Gift of Faint Instrument" records that concubines in the Zhou Dynasty said: "Ancient emperors had six palaces, three concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven concubines and eighty-one emperors." It can be seen that as early as the vassal period, there were many wives and concubines of the monarch. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the system of empresses in China feudal society was established, with the emperor as the center. The emperor's mother was called the Empress Dowager, his grandmother was called the Empress Dowager, and his first wife was called the Empress. Due to the short Qin Dynasty, the complete empresses and their hierarchy were actually implemented in the Han Dynasty. Empresses in the Han Dynasty were divided into eight categories: 1. Queen, 2. Ma 'am, number three. Beauty, 4. Love, 5. Eight sons, six. Seven sons, seven. Ambassador Long, 8. Less ambassadors. Since the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the number of concubines in the harem has expanded to 14 levels. That is 1. Zhao Yi, 2. Jieyu, 3. (St.) e, 4. Glory, 5. Beauty, 6. Eight sons, seven. Chongyi, 8. Seven sons, nine years old. Lover, 10. Ambassador, 65438+ simplified in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sixth Palace is only called the Queen and the Noble, and consists of three classes: beauty, imperial secretary and vegetable girl.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, the system of empresses changed again, and Wei Dingjue ranked twelfth from his wife. Wei Taizu was followed by five queens: Madam, Zhao Yi, Jieyu, Ronghua and Beauty. Wendi added five categories: Guidi, Shuyuan, Xiurong, Shuncheng and Lover. Ming Di has added Shu Fei, Zhao Hua and Yixiu (except Shuncheng). According to the system of the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Jin Empress had three wives, your wife, your wife and you. Shu Fei, Shu Yuan, Yi Shu, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Yixiu, Jieyu, Hua Rong and Chonghua were also established; There are also beautiful women, talented people and so on. , its position is also below nine.
At this point, Mrs. Zhou Sanzhi and Mrs. Jiu Ai have specific names.

It was a long time before Emperor Long Xuan's cough subsided. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his lips. I noticed that the white silk handkerchief was obviously stained with bright red blood. It seems that he is seriously ill. I'm afraid his time in this world is running out. If he really dies, his throne will be passed on to future generations, which may be the reason for the increasingly fierce struggle between Hou Jing and the prince.

Chen and I talked for a long time under the grape trellis, talking about the ancient and modern world. Before I knew it, it was dawn. We yawned at the same time and then smiled at each other.
I invite you to have breakfast. I suggest.
Chen shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness Wang Ping should go in person. Perilla must take care of his wife. Besides, I'm afraid there are many changes in the palace this night, and Wang Ping had better pay attention. "
