Why do you say: the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love it? Please give an example.

The saying that "the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love him" is actually an illusion.

There is a gap between the former and the actual situation, while the latter is a combination of the actual situation.

The saying that "the emperor loves his eldest son" originated from the "eldest son inheritance system" in feudal society. But in fact, the emperor doesn't like the prince, which is supported by figures:

1, the succession to the throne is "eldest son inheritance system". According to statistics, only 3 1.89% of the eldest son became emperor. Of the 0/2 emperors in the Qing Dynasty/KLOC-only Daoguang was the eldest son. References:

Journal of Chengdu University, No.4, 1998, quantitative analysis of the first eldest son inheritance system in ancient China.

The emperor didn't like the prince for the following reasons:

The ancients got married early. The emperor was still very young when he gave birth. There is little difference in age between the emperor and the prince. He has not yet become a father's ideological consciousness and does not know how to love his children. With the growth and maturity of his age, he has fatherly love for his children.

The emperor stayed with his son for a while. Children will move out of the palace as soon as they grow up, and they will have the opportunity to meet several important ceremonial festivals in a year, and they lack feelings for each other.

4. The only value of a prince is waiting for Emperor Tian Bin to succeed to the throne. Such a role is easy to cause the psychological shadow of the emperor.

The younger generation of ministers will definitely join the future emperor (prince) as a long-term investment, hoping that the new emperor will have a chance to climb up after he ascended the throne. And now the veteran in power is worried that after the death of the old emperor, his position will be taken away by these young people, and there will be contradictions and struggles. The old ministers will try their best to persuade the emperor to replace the prince and get rid of the opponents who threaten them. Support other young princes to replace the eldest son and be kind to the young prince in order to safeguard his future power.

6. "People are hurt" because of the ancient tax system. In ancient times, taxes were levied by households, and corvees were levied by households. Therefore, as soon as the child reaches adulthood, the government will force the "household division", that is, let the child get married independently (leaving only one man). Therefore, the eldest son is useless to his parents and has long been independent. Only the youngest son can always live with his parents and die for them.
