The prince belongs to the emperor. What?

Most princes and emperors are fathers and sons, and some are uncles and brothers. The Prince is the title of the legal heir of the ancient emperor of China, and the person designated as the heir to the throne is often called the Crown Prince abroad. In the feudal dynasty, the vassal was second only to the emperor in the court. They have their own East Palace, which is similar to a palace.

The official configuration of the East Palace is completely modeled after the imperial system, and there is also a private guard "Prince Zhu Lu" (Tang system) similar to the emperor's imperial army. The wives and concubines of the crown prince, like the concubines of the emperor, have formal titles, such as crown princess, wife and children.

The contradiction between the prince and the emperor has been difficult to solve since ancient times. The emperor often dethrones the prince because he doesn't like himself. In fact, for a strong emperor, it is much better to build an emperor who doesn't like himself. For example, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of Zhu Di, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is a prince because he doesn't like himself. As a result, Zhu Gaochi and his son Zhu Zhanji established Ren Xuanzhi. Of course, the establishment of a prince should be combined with reality, because people will change with the environment. It is the luck of the country and the people to establish a qualified prince.
