Some emperors were raised by wet nurses after they were born. How did emperors in history repay their wet nurses?

Nanny is an occupation suitable for married women in ancient feudal society. It is usually used for nursing large families, such as wealthy officials and royal children. In the palace, the women in the harem are only responsible for giving birth to the emperor's daughter and giving it to the wet nurse. One reason is that the emperor's women are too delicate to support their children, and another reason is that once the mother and children (especially the emperor) are too close, once they inherit the throne, there will be harem intervention or consorts in power. It is precisely because he was raised by a wet nurse that many princes will repay the wet nurse's feeding when they grow up to be emperors. Here, I will tell you the story of several emperors who repaid their wet nurses in history.

The first one was Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, who was the seventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After he succeeded to the throne, in order to repay his wet nurse, he insisted on making her Shanyangjun regardless of the opposition of his ministers, which made her complacent, intervened in state affairs at will, took bribes, was sued by his ministers, and was finally ousted by Emperor Hanshun.

The second is Ming Xianzong, the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After he acceded to the throne, in order to repay his wet nurse, he even brought his 17-year-old wet nurse into the harem and made him an escort for the imperial concubine. This wet nurse named Wan was named after she was made the imperial concubine. Ming Xianzong dotes on her, never abandoning Wan Guifei, who is seventeen or eighteen years older than him.

The third is Emperor Kangxi, who is the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty. His adoptive mother, surnamed Sun, is the wife of Cao, a royal relative and the mother of a famous minister. Because of his grandson's mother, Kangxi appointed Cao to weave for Jiang Ning and ordered him to be hereditary. Kangxi lived in Cao Fu four times during his southern tour. When he met Sun Nanniang, he also said: This is an old man in my family. It can be seen that Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to wet nurses.

Since ancient times, China people have adhered to filial piety. Children in large families not only honor their parents, but also cherish the kindness of their wet nurses. The wet nurse in the royal family and the emperor are as close as mother and son. Many emperors in history were closer to wet nurses. After the emperor ascended the throne, out of gratitude to the wet nurse, the righteous act of sealing the wet nurse was synchronized with the filial piety of respecting the biological mother out of courtesy.

As the name implies, wet nurse means wet nurse. Historically, the main task of imperial concubines was to serve the emperor and carry on the family line. This kind of thing is naturally done by the wet nurse. Some princes rarely see their mothers after they are born, and they are all brought up by wet nurses, so they have a very close relationship with wet nurses. In fact, the wet nurse is equivalent to the mother's position, but some emperors and their wet nurses have more than a mother-child relationship in history.

Generally speaking, the way for the emperor to repay the wet nurse is to give the wet nurse a title and salary, so that she can feel safe and enjoy her old age. In other words, the emperor usually gives his wet nurse a title, and according to the standard of this title, he gives her money and food on time, and gives her property on major festivals. Generally speaking, the present endowment insurance is similar. Of course, there are many great wet nurses in history. These people usually gain the absolute trust of the emperor and have feelings beyond the relationship with the wet nurse.
