If there was a WeChat shake in ancient times, how would the emperor choose his concubine?

The ancient emperors mainly selected their concubines in several ways:

First, they were directly selected from the children of officials or aristocratic families, and most of these selected women were because Family interests and this family have the power that the emperor needs. For example, Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty married Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengtong in order to strengthen the trust between the two parties, and Liu Yang had the power that Liu Xiu needed at that time. It was also for this reason that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Princess Guantao. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed the help of the eldest princess Guantao to ascend the throne.

2. Women selected by the emperor through participating in the draft. For example, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan in The Legend of Zhen Huan are both people chosen by the emperor.

3. Important candidates such as the emperor’s concubine or queen are directly determined by the queen mother. For example, Empress Dowager Cixi selected the queen for Emperor Guangxu.

4. Some concubines were selected through the emperor’s travels. Just like Qianlong in Huanzhugege, he went to the south of the Yangtze River and met the woman he liked, Xia Yuhe, and gave birth to his daughter by the Daming Lake. Daughter Xia Ziwei, later the father and daughter recognized each other and named Xia Ziwei a folk princess. In order to fill the harem, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal and built ships, collecting beauties everywhere, and arranged for Wang Shichong to select beautiful women for him among the people. To fill the harem.

5. They are women who are paid tribute by other tribes for peaceful diplomacy. For example, in Huanzhugege, Qianlong's concubine Xiangfei came from the tribe as tribute.

Sixth, they were obtained through war and plunder. If WeChat shake appeared in ancient times at that time, then this would facilitate the emperor's selection of concubines, but there would also be uneven phenomena. Because if you shake WeChat, the person you shake may not necessarily be a beautiful person. It may disappoint and make the emperor angry. And the emperor's anger will have serious consequences, and it may also attract people from other countries to steal state secrets. Deceiving the emperor, so to put it this way, even if there is a WeChat shake, there will be advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is convenient for the emperor to choose concubines and fill the harem, and will not waste too much material and financial resources. The disadvantage of transporting beauties from one place to another is that they may sway different people, or cheaters in other countries will be killed by the emperor. So if WeChat Shake appeared in ancient times, There are both advantages and disadvantages.
