Chapter 319: The Woman's Saying
After listening to Ming Zhao's words, Feng Shanyue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly chuckled unconsciously.
"Laughing at what?"
Feng Shanyue shook her head and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for the woman to appear, who knows that I am the woman myself, is this a joke God played with me?"
Ming Zhao smiled, "Fortunately, this is a joke, if there are really other women, I feel troublesome?"
"Wait a minute," Feng Shanyue suddenly turned around and grabbed his sleeve, "You tell me the truth, did you see that the gods gave me a good name, and you just thought of adding a woman to me?
"Of course not. Ming Zhao smiled, "It's just a doom in the dark." If you don't believe me, you can go back and check the annals, which record the rules of the Shang Dynasty monarch, under normal circumstances, a Shang monarch can have a queen, four concubines, eight concubines, and there is no limit to the number of women below. ”
Feng Shanyue smacked her tongue, thinking that she was almost going to share a man with so many women, she couldn't help but be afraid, maybe she wouldn't even be able to separate a fingernail when the time came, right?
"However, there is a special case. Our ancestors asked the offspring that if the queen who married only managed the harem and reproduced offspring, then there was no need to limit the number of people in the harem, but to enrich the harem as much as possible so as to give birth to more offspring for the royal family. However, if the queen who marries can still assist the royal business, then you can add a woman character before the queen's name and become a higher rank than the queen. ”
"The reason for the addition of a wife is that the woman and the husband are side by side, they are partners who fight side by side, and then they are behind the king, enjoying the shade provided by the monarch. Therefore, out of respect for women, Shang Jun, as a husband, must also make a promise to be faithful for a lifetime, and there must be no other women. ”
Feng Shanyue nodded, and finally understood the origin of this "woman", to put it bluntly, she wanted to make the queen a wife, and Shang Jun must also be prepared to be a couple for a lifetime. This is not yet a difficult task for men in the modern monogamous marriage system, especially in ancient times when there were no restrictions on men at all.
She said movingly: "Senior brother, I will definitely assist you well, and strive to make Dashang better with the efforts of the two of us!"
Ming Zhao pinched her face, "I named you a wife, not to let you do anything for the big business, just to show my attitude." I just want to tell you that I don't have to be a man with many women, and I can love only one woman for the rest of my life. ”
Feng Shanyue remembered the conversation between the two when they were shipwrecked on the border of Quchi Country, and she did use this reason to reject Ming Zhao at that time, but she didn't expect that until today, he finally proved his sincerity in his own way.
"There has never been a queen who has added 'women' on the emperor's genealogy, is it possible that since the establishment of the Great Shang, there has been no Shang monarch who has made the queen a wife?"
Ming Zhao shook his head, "Originally, the first generation of Shang Jun loved his wife very much and wanted to make his queen a wife, but when he ascended the throne, his queen had already lost her fertility, and for the continuation of the Great Shang, this idea was not achieved. However, he recorded his thoughts and passed them on to future generations, hoping that when our descendants took over as Shang king, they would have the opportunity to give the queen a wife. ”
"That's why those ministers just now strongly objected, because we don't have children yet?"
Ming Zhao smiled, he touched Feng Shanyue's belly, "Of course we will have our own children, they are just worrying. ”
Feng Shanyue looked at her belly with some weakness, neither of them had contraception recently, but there was still no sign of pregnancy, wouldn't it really be impossible to give birth?
Soon they returned to the palace, and the ministers followed them to the palace for a banquet.
Because Ming Zhao was the first Shang monarch to seal a woman since the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, the atmosphere of today's banquet looked a little weird. Ming Zhao was really happy, and drank the wine cup after glass, while the ministers were a little forced to laugh, and they all set their eyes on Gan Pan, hoping that he would dissuade Ming Zhao as a master.
Gan Pan didn't bother to pay attention to the gazes cast by these ministers, he drank happily with the high priest he hadn't seen for a long time, "Fuyao Lao'er, you should have come to Yindu a long time ago, but you always hid in Kunlun Mountain and refused to come down." My apprentice is now a Shang Jun, and your apprentice is also a queen, and the two of us can finally get together and do something. ”
The high priest took a sip of wine and smiled slightly, "My mission is to protect the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, what are you doing in Yindu?"
Gan Pan glared, "Since you are guarding the Fire Phoenix Country, why do you want to come to the ceremony to intervene? If it weren't for you, would that girl be a woman?"
"What's wrong with my apprentice? Isn't it right to be a woman? Have you ever seen a queen who is more suitable for a woman than her?"
When the high priest came back with three questions, Gan Pan's momentum weakened, and he had to admit that Feng Shanyue, whether it was her ability or her mind, was indeed very suitable for sealing women.
"Besides, even if it is a feudal woman, she may not be able to keep her, and you still want her to compete with other women for a husband? ”
"Leave?" Although Gan Pan was half drunk and half awake at the moment, he heard this sentence very clearly, "Why did she leave? Fuyao Lao'er, are you hiding something from me?"
The high priest shook his head, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, even if it is a ganpan, he can't know too much. He toasted another bottle of wine and put him down completely.
Feng Shanyue, as the first empress in the history of the Great Shang, is different from ordinary queens, and does not need to return to the harem after holding a big ceremony. She can sit side by side on the throne with Ming Zhao and receive the congratulations of the ministers. Therefore, the expressions of the ministers also gave her an unobstructed view.
"Senior brother, I see that the ministers seem to be very resistant to my wife's marriage, should you delay this matter?"
Ming Zhao drank a glass of wine and looked at her with a smile, "Slow down? Slow down for three days, and the invitations about the concubine on my case will be piled up into a small mountain." ”
"Why?" Are these ministers so anxious to leave her alone in the empty room?
"Because after Shang Jun marries, he can enrich the harem in a big way. Naturally, these people wanted to seize the opportunity to send their people to the palace. ”
Feng Shanyue then understood, no wonder Ming Zhao would ignore the opposition of the ministers and directly announce the matter of sealing the woman in the Divine Palace, and no matter how ugly the ministers' faces were, they would take her to the big gift banquet as usual.
This time, Feng Shanyue didn't like these ministers either, hmph, it's my enemies who rob people with me!
"Good woman, congratulations, I want to congratulate you on a cup!"
Feng Shanyue looked up and saw that it was General Guan, who was coming to the throne with a bottle of wine, looking at him with a smile.
