The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law

Xiao Shuan returned to the main hall.

"An'er, how is Mr. Lin? Are you okay?" Xiao Jingong cared about Lin Xiu first.

"It's okay, I just have a low fever, just take a rest." Xiao Shuan sat down, not wanting to see Xiao Jingong.

"An'er, are you angry with Brother Huang?" Xiao Jingong raised his head and asked cautiously.

"How dare you, Brother Huang is the king of a country, what you say is what you say. I don't have a place to speak." Xiao Shu'an was an old onmyoji when he opened his mouth, Xiao Jingong couldn't tell.

"An'er, I admit that this matter is my fault. But there is nothing you can do about it. Zhou Guo finally ushered in such a capable minister, I can't let her go! She finally agreed to stay, I have to clear the way for her, otherwise, I will really let down her talent.

The prime minister's one party has always liked to control the government.Everything I do is restricted by them.Pushing Lin Xiu to the top position this time will definitely be another bloody storm.I can only sacrifice you, An'er, to elevate Lin Xiu's status.Furthermore, she can also be bound to Zhou Guo without doubting her loyalty.

Ann, I know you blame me, but I really can't help it.The inheritance left by my ancestors cannot be destroyed in my hands.If I could, I would marry Lin Xiu myself!But my gender is wrong. "

"What nonsense!" Xiao Shu'an couldn't hold back his laughter after all: "Brother Huang really knows how to joke, you can't marry, but you can marry! Seeing Mr. Lin's appearance, he must be a beauty in women's clothes, Brother Huang Not bad."

"Then, why don't I get married?"

Xiao Shuan turned his head abruptly!

"Hahahahahaha!" Xiao Jingong laughed heartily, An'er was still so cute, every time she teased her, she would take it seriously.

"I want you to marry her to give her the status of a real man. I can't achieve this effect by marrying her."

"Hmph! I let you talk about everything inside and out, but I can't tell you." Xiao Shu'an's rare waywardness.

"But now it's like this, I really wronged An'er. Originally, if Lin Xiu was a man, this would be a good marriage. Lin Xiu is a talented person, full of talent. It's a pity that she is a woman. I'm afraid I will wrong An'er for a few years. Wait for Lin Xiu Once you are stable in the court, An'er can reconcile with her, and when the time comes, I will definitely find you a good husband! I want An'er to like it!"

And leave?Xiao Shu'an hadn't had time to think so much.Family, country and world are too important in her heart, so she doesn't understand the difficulties of brother Huang.Even if she is herself, I am afraid she will make the same decision. In front of the royal family, Jiangshan Sheji will always come first, the person she likes?Xiao Shuan didn't think about it.

"I understand Brother Huang, don't worry. The family and the country have not been decided, so why should the family be. Revitalizing the Zhou country is my greatest wish in this life. I don't expect anything else." Xiao Shu'an's tone was a little lonely.

Who wouldn't dream of their own marriage?But born in the royal family, many things are out of control.Not to mention her as a princess, even the emperor's brother can't influence her marriage.Royal marriage is an accessory of politics.It might be her luck to be able to marry a consort like Lin Xiu.At least, you don't have to force yourself to fulfill your duties as a wife.

"I don't know why, An'er, you can understand me, but I feel even more sad. If Zhou Guo is prosperous and strong, An'er will have a different destiny." Xiao Jingong suddenly felt sad.

"Actually, it's okay. They're all girls, so I won't be at a disadvantage. Right?" Xiao Shu'an wanted to make the atmosphere easier and made a joke.

Xiao Jingong began to think seriously: "Mr. Lin, are you skilled in martial arts? I think her figure seems to be relatively weak. If An'er, you argue with her...you won't suffer, right?"

"Pfft!" Brother Huang, what are you thinking?They are all literati, and they will fight and kill everywhere.However, she suddenly remembered Lin Xiu bragging about her martial arts in Linglong Valley, and... how stupid she was when she couldn't catch up with Lin Zhong...

"Well, Mr. Lin... I am not an opponent because of my high martial arts skills."

"Then? Shall I send you two bodyguards? You know people, you know them, but you don't know their hearts. We haven't got to know Mr. Lin very well. It's easy for two people to live together. It's easy to rub against each other. If she gets angry and hurts you, it won't be good." After all, you have no emotional basis."

Xiao Jingong was really worried.He knew that many men in the Zhou Kingdom liked to beat their wives, and similarly, there were also women who beat their husbands, it all depends on who has the higher force value.

"Brother Huang, don't worry. I'm joking, Mr. Lin is a very gentle person, and he will never use force. Even if I use force, I can't beat him, and I will run away. Don't worry!" Xiao Shu'an didn't dare to tease Xiao Jingong ruthlessly.

"That's good." Xiao Jingong breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, where is the mother?"

"I'll go talk."

Xiao Shu'an knew that the emperor's brother was afraid of being punished by his mother, who only had two children.The first emperor worked hard on state affairs and died young, and his son dedicated himself to the country every day.With just such a daughter, she still has to sacrifice for the country, and she will inevitably feel unhappy in her heart.

"An'er, you are the best. Then I will ask the Rites to fix the date as soon as possible! I think the sooner the better, what do you think?"

"Yes! The sooner you settle down, the sooner you can get on the right track. After all, there is not much time left for Zhou Guo to breathe. Who knows when Zhao Guo will come back with another carbine."

"Okay, it's fine if you have no objection. The Consort's Mansion... It's too late to build a new one. I think, why not just use the private mansion outside my palace to become the Consort's Mansion? Then the Consort's Mansion is within walking distance from your mansion." One street, it is convenient for you to come and go." Xiao Jingong suggested.

"That is the imperial brother's private mansion, how can it be used as the consort's mansion?"

"I don't need the left and right, and it's a waste to leave it alone. It's not for outsiders to give it to my brother-in-law. In the future, when the treasury is full, I'll just build a new one."

Xiao Jingong only explained half of the reason, Xiao Shu'an knew that the main thing was that the emperor didn't want to spend money.After all, the country is difficult.At this time, he doesn't want unnecessary expenses, so this arrangement is the best.

"Princess, Mr. Lin is awake." Lan'er reported outside the door.

"Okay, I'll go there right away. Brother Huang, do you want to go there together?"

Xiao Jingong remembered that Lin Xiu was a woman, and it was already night, so forget it.Thinking about the grand plans and great achievements I talked with Mr. Lin in the past three days, I really have more to say, and I want to hear more from Mr. Lin immediately.

But Lin Xiu fainted, no matter how much Xiao Jingong wanted to continue, he knew enough was enough.

"An'er, please greet Mr. Lin for me. I still have political affairs to deal with, and I will call Mr. Lin into the palace tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll send you off to the emperor. Don't let the queen mother know about the engagement, lest she find you unhappy. I will go to the palace and tell my mother tomorrow."

"An'er, with you by my side, I really feel much more relaxed. Without you, I don't know how hard it is."

"It's good that you know. I will definitely ask you for a reward in the future." Xiao Shu'an joked.

"Okay, as long as you want An'er, even in this world, I can give you half." Xiao Jingong said sincerely.

"I remember it."

"Well! An'er, let's stop. I'm going back to the palace."

Xiao Shu'an saw off Xiao Jingong before going to the guest room to see Lin Xiu.

The author has something to say:

A speech longer than the text...

Regarding some readers' questions, I am going to say a few words today.

Let me state first that I am not a liberal arts student, nor do I know much about history.So I chose fictional history instead of writing about a real dynasty.

About the rationality of the logic of the article.Different readers have different questions, and I will explain them together today.First of all, this article is a woman pretending to be a man.Like many readers, I actually feel that women pretending to be men have not been exposed, especially if I live with a person every day and cannot see it, it is actually ridiculous.Whether it's the two lumps of flesh on the chest... (I think it's really hard to hide if it's not very flat chested...) or appearance, voice, no beard as I grow older.It's all hard to explain without being debunked.

So I assume that people around me know about it.It's all reasonable at 5.00%.But there are still many unreasonable things.But this really doesn't work.If you pay too much attention to this, in fact, Lily has no ancient texts.Unless it is martial arts or cultivating immortals, it is really difficult to have a court marquis.So for the sake of drama, we can only try our best to ignore this BUG, ​​if we really can't accept it, there is no other way.

Secondly, some readers felt that it was unreasonable for the emperor to allow the princess to marry her even though he knew Lin Xiu was a woman.Then let me talk about my own thoughts.Of course, what I said does not represent authority. Some of them are from official historical records such as Shiji, and some are from miscellaneous books.If there is a problem with what I said, cutie can leave a message to tell me.

What I think is that ancient China is a long historical process.It cannot be summed up in two simple words: ancient times.The dynastic dynasties I have here are similar to the Warring States and the Three Kingdoms, where the princes claimed the king and the heroes were separated.It's similar, for details, please refer to the explanation in my article.

China has not been that since ancient times, women have to obey the three obediences and four virtues, set up chastity archways, and have a very low class.In many dynasties, women actually have a time when they shine.Of course, the theme has always been a patriarchal society in the historical process.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, women participated in politics.For example, Mi Bazi in the well-known Legend of Mi Yue.And Zhao Weihou and so on.By the time of the Han Dynasty, the most representative was Empress Lu.Everyone knows that there are 12 books in Shiji, one of which is the book of Empress Dowager Lu.This book records the achievements of the emperor. It can be seen that although Empress Lu did not become emperor, she is actually the first female emperor in Chinese history.

It was also in the Han Dynasty that aristocratic women were also granted marquis titles and possessed titles and fiefdoms.Of course, there are still some special cases.

In the Tang Dynasty, perhaps because the royal family had a quarter of Hu blood, the folk customs were relatively open.Women can dabble in horseback riding, and even sports like polo are played by women.It was also under such an environment that Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history, was born.

Of course, Wu Zetian's proclaiming emperor is inseparable from her political talents.But it also had a lot to do with the environment at that time. The right time, place and people made her a success.As a result, when the Li and Tang Dynasty was restored, many ministers were so nostalgic for Wu Zetian that they cried bitterly.This is not just repression by authority.

And the Tang Dynasty also produced many female poets.The living environment of women is relatively free.

Before the Song Dynasty, women did not have the concept of chastity.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Tang Dynasty, it was normal for women to remarry.Especially in the turbulent years, the Three Kingdoms period.It is common for women to choose their own mates and remarry.And it won't bear the public opinion, it feels better than today.Today people's concepts of chastity and women's non-marriage are still very strong.

Beginning in the late Han Dynasty, Confucianism strengthened, and "Biography of Women" and "Nvjie" began to require women's moral norms.Then in the Song Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism advocated "preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires." The concept of chastity began to be strict, foot binding prevailed, and there was a saying that "starving to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter." This kind of saying spread.I think this is actually the most critical turning point.By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, women had completely fallen.I really hate these two dynasties the most!

So in fact, the status of women is not static.It's not like going from good to bad all the time.She has an iterative process.It will be influenced by those in power, for example, when more women participate in politics, women will be freer.When Wu Zetian was in power, there were women as officials.Women in the Tang Dynasty really had the most power.It can be said that they were the happiest women in ancient times.

In summary, from a macro perspective.In a patriarchal society, women have always been in a subordinate position.But there are exceptions, exceptions.There are also many women who have left a strong mark in history.

Having said so much, I just want to say that the emperor knew Lin Xiu's identity as a woman, so there was some logic in making her an official.Speaking of special cases, Lin Xiu must be a special case of that era.Writing novels is of course a special case, and writing about an ordinary woman is obviously not dramatic or interesting.

But the emperor did not marry Lin Xiu himself.One is that it is impossible for Lin Xiu to marry her.A rich second generation who traveled through the 21st century.How could it be possible to accept sharing a husband?I would rather die than submit, and besides, there is no emotional basis.

Second, some people say that you can marry by force.In a feudal society where human rights were relatively absent, forced marriages were indeed normal.But it is not necessary for the emperor to marry Lin Xiuzhen by force.Marrying Lin Xiu is likely to be a loss of talent.If you can't get this person, you can't get her talent.You can destroy her, but you can't have her, can you?

But what Emperor Zhou wanted now was a capable man to assist him.In front of Jiangshan Sheji, gender is really not that important.It's just that female Yi Wei concealed her identity and became an official, instead of raising the status of all women, the emperor didn't really have to think about it.

Let's talk about the difference between being a concubine and being a minister.As a concubine, that is a good wife.The ancients paid attention to the righteousness of the name and the obedience of the words, and to seek their own government in their positions.The concubine has no political status, and she advises you.Sooner or later, the world will know that you rely on concubines for advice. It is quite easy for the opposition to destroy a concubine.There are also many points that can be attacked.

It is obviously much better to be a minister.She can become your actual right-hand man.It's a thug who thinks he can fight the opposition for you in court.If she was a concubine, she would not have the right to speak in front of the scene.There are many things a minister can do.And it will be a controllable courtier.Anytime you think she's out of control, you can expose her and condemn her.Obviously it is much easier to be a minister.

Any method of coercion is not easy to use and should not be used.Lin Xiu is already a well-known bachelor.If she didn't get courtesy in Zhou Guo, other bachelors would not come to assist Zhou Guo.The last thing a wise monarch wants to offend is a scholar.

Offending scholars will not only lose many talented people, but will also be placed on the pillar of shame in history.Qin Shihuang is the best example.Only a fool can do whatever he wants.If you want to be a wise monarch, there are actually many constraints.

That's all for today.For any questions in the article, everyone can leave a message to communicate.As long as there is no personal attack and friendly communication without emotion, it is very welcome.It may be difficult to change the writing style for a while, but if you think there are problems with the plot and logic of the article, you can raise it.If it is reasonable, I will change it appropriately.

That's it, love you guys!Comparing!
