After rebirth, I made the princes cry

The leaders of the Northern Zhao and Northern Jin tribes, formerly known as Chanyus, usually married young and did not pay attention to the etiquette of reaching adulthood when they were twenty years old. Therefore, when they got married, they were often not Chanyus but princes. , the prince married his wife early, and his wife had no title, let alone the prince. Even the great Chanyu, his wives and concubines had basically no difference in status. Take the current Emperor of Northern Zhao as an example, he had two queens in total. , one of whom is a fake descendant of Shenzong.

And even if there is another queen, she is not actually the first wife of the Northern Zhao Emperor, but his third wife. The first two are still alive, and they follow the title of Yuting and are named wives.

But the current crown prince of Northern Zhao is the eldest son of a concubine.

The nomads do not have the concept of concubines, and because the fights between the barbarian tribes are actually very cruel and fierce, as long as the leader's son gets married and has children, he will lead his troops in battles. As long as he does not die in battle, because of his military exploits, his power will naturally increase. The older he gets, the more he becomes the leader, more or less out of helplessness. The sooner his son goes to the battlefield, the more subordinates he has, the higher his prestige, and the stronger his fighting power. If he is not appointed as his successor, he will grab it himself.

Just like Jiang Tai of the Northern Han Dynasty, even though he had been exiled by his father, he still fought back to Chang'an and seized the throne.

It has not been thirty years since the barbarians entered the Pass and carved up the northern cities. Although they have realized to some extent that if they want to continue their rule on the land of China, it is absolutely impossible not to be bound by etiquette and law. However, it is necessary to completely reverse the past hundreds of years. Of course, it was not easy to form customs and concepts. The emperor of Northern Zhao did a pretty good job in this regard, but he still made a joke about establishing two queens.

The Northern Jin Dynasty was another situation.

The King of the Northern Jin Dynasty was in his prime. When he died, his eldest son was not yet ten years old. He had never led an army or fought in a war. Of course, he had no military merits or soldiers, and had no prestige. However, after the King of the Northern Jin Dynasty died, He married another wife and concubine, and made the most prominent one his queen. He loved the queen so much that he simply banished the eldest son. Exile was tantamount to expulsion. The banished prince could not even set foot in the Northern Jin Dynasty. Ability to wander abroad.

The current eldest and second princes of the Northern Jin Dynasty are all descended from the queen. Even if the king of Jin does not attach importance to his concubine, the elder and the younger will always be given priority. Logically speaking, he should have married the eldest prince long ago and let him lead the whole family according to old customs. Being brave and cultivating one's own strength is the intention to establish the eldest son as the heir. But now that the eldest prince has reached sixteen years old, and he is still happy with the daughter of his descendants, the King of Jin is indifferent and even gives that The woman was assigned to someone else.

The King of the Northern Jin Dynasty did not want to establish his eldest son as his heir at all! ! !

Qi Xiu figured this out, but was still puzzled: "Why did the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty abandon the concubine and the eldest son in succession?"

"I remember you told me not long ago that you also obtained a piece of information. There is a wealthy businessman in the Northern Jin Dynasty who is looking for good doctors?"

"Could it be that the eldest prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty was seriously ill?"

"It's not that he is seriously ill, but he must have some congenital deficiencies. The eldest prince has more palaces, but the second prince often accompanies him, going out of Shuozhou and into the clouds, shooting and hunting."

"But if the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty really wanted to make his second son the prince, how could he send him to Northern Zhao as a hostage?"

"This is the abnormal movement I'm talking about." Sikong Yuehu stood up, walked around, and faced the old tree outside the tea room with his hands behind his hands. New green trees had sprouted on the old branches. He looked back and saw Qi Xiu still sitting on the scale, shaking his head. Shaking his head: "If I were your father, I would punish you to stand under this tree and calculate how many new buds will grow!"

"Ah?!" Qi Xiu then stood up, ran over, raised his head and looked at it for a long time: "This... I am ashamed of my humble position, and I don't understand Zhimu."

"You are almost dead!" Sikong Yuehu snorted: "As a spy, hiding your identity is the most basic thing. You must be good at analyzing the enemy's movements from trivial information, judging priorities, and deciding how to report. Although Changye is not a spy, he is responsible for managing spies. If you are not good at analysis and judgment, do you have to train a spy who can go to the bed of the enemy's monarch and find out that the enemy's leader has decided to use troops, and then send an urgent message? Report back?

An old branch like this already has greenery. If you don't see new buds sprouting, you don't know whether the tree has died. Qi Changye, I think you are really burned out by the internal affairs. I really feel sorry for General Qi. Ah, otherwise, I might as well help you divorce your wife, so maybe you can take your mind back and really focus on your business? "

Qi Xiu almost agreed.

"The Northern Jin Dynasty wanted to use troops against Northern Yan and annex Youzhou and Western Liaoning, but such military action must obtain the acquiescence of Northern Zhao. Otherwise, as soon as the Northern Jin army moves, Northern Zhao may pursue it from behind, and the Northern Jin king will choose him. The prince sent Northern Zhao as hostage just to dispel Northern Zhao's defense."

"Then, will it be detrimental to our government?"

"There is none in front of me." Sikong Yuehu looked at the mottled green on the ancient branches: "We are facing six scattered enemy barbarians now. In the future, we may face a real overlord of Beizhou. We can't at this time If the game is broken, everything will be lost sooner or later. Beiyan's spy circuit will be activated. Changye, if you can focus on your business, I will take you to play a big game of chess."

Qi Xiu was so excited by Lord Xinsu that he even wanted to go back immediately to persuade Gao Tang to help him divorce his wife immediately. Before he could say goodbye, unexpectedly he saw a group of servants bringing food, including a dish of sea bass that he particularly liked. Soup, he was sighing, His Highness Ansu Jun’s intelligence was so good. Even Mrs. Zhang didn’t know that he liked to eat water shield and perch soup, but His Highness actually knew it! ! !

"what is this?"

Qi Xiu heard Mr. Xinsu asking the group of servants.

"This... was prepared by Madam Tian. When your Highness entertains guests, distinguished guests like water shield and perch soup the most."

Qi Xiu:? ? ?

Who is Mrs. Tian right? Why do you know that he likes water shield and perch soup?

"Does Changye like this dish?" Sikong Yuehu asked again.

Qi Xiu:......

Sikong Yuehu waved his hand and dismissed all the servants, and then said: "The Lady Tian they call is actually Tian Shishe's sister. However, I have always been doubtful about Tian's origin. It just so happens that you can do it for me too." I checked and found out that this woman is quite weird. For example, I just saw that Changye really likes to eat water shield and perch soup. I don’t know how she found out."

Qi Xiu's mind was not completely blocked yet.

At least he heard that not only was that Miss Tian not the concubine of Mr. Xinsu, but Mr. Xinsu was also very wary of her, even though it turned out that the woman was Tian Shishe's sister.

Wait, Tian Shishe actually has a sister?

"Most of the servants in my house are actually reliable. Ruxin is cooked or handled by Mr. Tian himself, and they will not be presented to me directly. Since these dishes are only prepared by Mr. Tian, ​​there will be no problem. Although I actually have no intention of staying here for a long time to eat...I have to go to the military department for a while, that's all, since the kitchen has already prepared dinner, it's better not to waste food."

If it weren't for the novelty, the nobles of Dayu still insist on the etiquette of sharing food. Even if they sit at the same table and eat the same dishes, but they enjoy them individually, they will only be familiar with each other no longer, and just for the sake of fun , will sit around the table and share the dishes in the same bowl and plate. You will use chopsticks and I will use chopsticks. You will take a spoonful of soup and I will take a spoonful, regardless of each other.

With the current friendship between Sikong Yuehu and Qi Xiu, it is impossible for them to sit together at the same table.

After finishing the dinner in silence, Sikong Yuehu said: "My slave is too busy and let Changye waste a valuable meal on me. Next time you have to be the host and entertain me. I think you enjoyed your meal quite happily." I wonder if I can still ride a horse?”
