So Ming Dynasty princes were held back from being effective rulers for the reason (based on the comment section) of preventing revolts/rebeling against the father. Sounds to me that when once one of the Ming princes becomes emperor, he is destined to be a weak ruler due to lack of experience/training. Wouldn't that mean that the real power during Ming Dynasty was within the court officials?
Thank you. I just cannot understand how Ming emperors did not give their sons practical experience. Was this to prevent the sons from rebelling against their fathers?

Oooh very interesting video. Thanks Bing! I believe Prince Gong’s mansion was the one previously owned by QianLong’s thieving best friend, HeShen? Do you think he deserves a video, Bing? 😅
Sounds, again, like life in the Qing Dynasty was better than in the Ming Dynasty. How was the next Ming emperor supposed to be prepared to take over if he had no prior experience in managing government affairs?
That was very Interesting! Ming Emperor´s gave thier Son´s not a chance to work for the State. And in the Qing Dynasty thier must work for the State, but don´t lieve the City, to get a Noble Titel🤔 For me are Both Way, was not realy fair for the son´s. Thnks to give us a great View of the Life of this Princes from Ming and Qing.
@@never4ever386 they were half brothers from different moms and their is rivaly between royal siblings , yet the guy give his half brother title after his father death mean he cared about his brother more then his own father cared about his brother
@@sakurakou2009 his father was already dead, so no longer the emperor. You make it sound like everything the princes did in those days were only for political gain without any emotion.
@@never4ever386 isnt that the reality of their times their moms fought for the emperor favor to gain power for the clans they kids were put against each other to fight for the throne and many of them killed their own siblings for it
There was a timeline video of the emperor QL’s inner court. It might be stated there if not see who was the highest ranking woman as that would be the usual case.
Pronounced "feef" - A fief (root of the word "fiefdom") is an estate of land, especially one held on condition of feudal service. A fief was the central element of feudalism. It consisted of heritable property or rights granted by an overlord to a vassal who held it in fealty in return for a form of feudal allegiance and service, usually given by the personal ceremonies of homage and fealty.

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Ming dynasty was controlled twice by the eunuchs of the palace (correct me if I'm wrong).
I think you’re right! Wracking my brain but I think it was the eunuchs in power.
It seems like Ming dynasty Prince's were handicapped from becoming good rulers based on the fear that they would at one point revolt
Ming Dynasty: Helicopter Parent
Qing Dynasty: Tiger Parent

Bingo.
3rd emperor of Ming dynasty got the throne from his nephew by rebel. He did not want this happen again.

Can you talk more about the story about the Ming prince with a imperial maid as a mother. Great video as always Bing
Oooh very interesting video. Thanks Bing!

Of course. 😀

Can we get a princess version video???
Sure.
Ah, the paradox of power. It must be handed down, but always to those who could use it to take more from you.
The early Qing royal family sound like Tiger Parents today🥴
Whole Qing dynasty.
Oh no you got me started. He liked the imperial maid for a few minutes at least once. 😏 It is not what I thought to be a prince
Could be drunk and then..... You know what I mean 😛
It was quite sad to know the situation of the Ming princes. But, can you make a video on how the princesses of the Qing Dynasty got their tittles?
And Ming ending was such a tragedy
the moment when your brother have more empathy toward you then your own father 💀
You sound like brothers shouldn’t?

@@sakurakou2009 No, stop believing everything you watch in tv dramas 😂
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for this video.
I also wonder how imperial family and relatives supporting their lives. Do they earn money from palace or they have any other income source?
What does it mean to be first, second and third rank? I’m guessing it’s income, privileges and housing differences besides place in society?
Why on earth did these guys even have male descendants??? Father is paranoid so bad and kills off all the sons same as the Ottoman Empire 🙄🙄
Who managed the harem after consort long passed?

I don't understand what a fief is.
I think it's his estate maybe?

I love the Tang dynasty 😋 Can we get a fashion & lifestyle in the Tang
Of course.
