Chapter 35: What is the Royal Family 2

“…… A group of 300 people was assassinated at the border of Dazhang State, and none of the guards and palace maids who accompanied the marriage were spared. It is undeniable that Leng Qing was a little frightened by Yan Ziming's words.

Although Leng Qing has always felt that she is just an insignificant person in this other world, no matter how the nine countries on the Tiancheng Continent are tossed in the future, Leng Qing has only one thought, which is to find a corner of the Tiancheng Continent, be alone, be at ease, and protect this life that was finally picked up.

Even if Leng Qing knew that this other world adopted a feudal centralized system, which often only pursued the criterion of "the supremacy of imperial power", Leng Qing was inevitably a little touched when he heard that the entire three hundred lives were lost because of the delicate balance between the remaining seven countries in order to maintain the delicate balance between the nine countries.

If she hadn't died before, Leng Qing might not have spared her life like she does now, but after experiencing the pain of death, Leng Qing knew how terrifying it was when death came.

However, at this moment, Leng Qing looked at Yan Ziming, and she found that when Yan Ziming said this, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he could not see a trace of pity.

Leng Qing thought, perhaps, this is the so-called royal family! Cold-blooded, ruthless, and disregards human life like a mustard. As long as they can protect the interests of their country, they can sacrifice a person or thing that has nothing to do with them.

Not wanting to look at Yan Ziming's side face that looked so cold at the moment, Leng Qing retracted her gaze and continued to look at the scarlet charcoal in the two silver carbon furnaces in front of her. She felt that the two stoves were more pleasing to the eye......

After Leng Qing retracted his gaze, Yan Ziming slowly put away his hands that were roasting the fire, and a pair of white palms with distinct bones were placed on his knees so casually, his back was slightly bent, and the whole person looked very lazy and comfortable.

And here, Leng Qing turned over her hands that were a little hot from the charcoal fire, and then took a deep breath of air filled with a faint pine fragrance, and then slowly exhaled her breath, Leng Qing said her opinion on this matter: "Even if it is to stop the alliance between Dazhang and Liangguo." Wouldn't it be enough to kill Liang Lanyue, a key person? There is no need to be so ruthless! That's a whole 300 lives!"

When Yan Ziming heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Leng Qing slightly.

Seeing that Leng Qing seemed to have an unbearable look on her face, Yan Ziming thought about it and took back the words he wanted to say. Yan Ziming felt that he still didn't want to sue Sù Leng Qing. The so-called ruthless person in her mouth is her husband, Zhu Zimo, who is better......

First, Yan Ziming didn't want Leng Qing to know that he actually had a deep relationship with Zhu Zimo, and second, Yan Ziming really didn't want to scare Leng Qing, Yan Ziming felt. If you know that the person next to the pillow is secretly such a ruthless person, no woman can accept it calmly......

Of course, if Yan Ziming knew that in the first two days between Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing, Zhu Zimo had the idea of getting rid of Leng Qing several times, and Zhu Zimo really made a move on Leng Qing, and almost strangled Leng Qing, but Leng Qing was not afraid of Zhu Zimo, it is estimated that Yan Ziming would not have this kind of stupid idea......

Put away the complicated thoughts in his heart, and lowered his eyes to look at the scarlet charcoal fire in front of him. Yan Ziming continued to say in a calm tone: "Although the methods are a little cruel, but now that Liang Lanyue died in the territory of Dazhang Country on the way to get married, it is indeed a good thing for the other seven countries. In this way, no matter how Emperor Dazhang Chen Luo insisted on letting Chen Haoxian and Liang Lanyue 'secretly marry', and the royal families of the two countries clearly knew that Liang Lanyue's death had nothing to do with each other, the alliance between the two countries could not continue, and it was not about interests, but a matter of royal face.

Liang Lanyue's image in the hearts of the people of Liangguo is not bad. Even some people love Liang Lanyue very much, but now Liang Lanyue was killed in the territory of Dazhang on the way to get married. Even if the people of a good country don't talk about it. There will also be people who deliberately create public opinion. Unless Liangyou Tian can abandon all public opinion from the people of Liangguo, Liangyou Tian will definitely refuse to continue to form an alliance and cooperate with Dazhang Guo for the sake of the royal face of Liangguo. As long as Liang Youtian refuses to continue to cooperate with Dazhangguo, with the current national strength of Dazhangguo, he will not be able to make any waves. ”

However, for Yan Ziming's long remarks. Leng Qing only grabbed one of the words-

I saw Leng Qing suddenly look sideways at Yan Ziming, and then frowned and whispered: "??!! of the Secret Marriage" Leng Qing realized how incredulous her tone was when she said this word......

Yan Ziming also looked sideways at Leng Qing, and when he met Leng Qing's eyes, Yan Ziming only raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Leng Qing blamed her for making a big fuss, because Leng Qing still knew a little about the "secret marriage".

Ghost marriage existed before the Han Dynasty, but because it consumed manpower and material resources in society, it was meaningless and was forbidden. "Zhou Li" cloud: "It is forbidden to move the burial and marry the dead." But this trend has never been eradicated, and some of them are even directly expressed in the rulers. One of the more famous secret marriages in history was organized by Cao Cao for his son Cao Chong, who died early.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and the Biography of King Wu Wenshi" (volume 20) records that Cao Chong "was thirteen years old, Jian'an was thirteen years ill, and Taizu personally asked for his life." and death, mourning. Emperor Wen said to Taizu, and Taizu said: 'This is my misfortune, and you Cao's luck is also.'" In order to hire the deceased daughter of the Zhen family and bury them together, he gave the seal of the captain of the horse, and ordered the Marquis of Wan to be sent to the queen. Here, Cao Cao hired a woman surnamed Zhen who died early as his daughter-in-law.

Cao Chong was born to Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan, and Cao Chong was very smart. When he was five or six years old, Emperor Sun Quan of Wu sent an elephant to Cao Cao, who wanted to know how heavy the elephant was, but asked many ministers and couldn't think of a way to weigh it. Cao Chong said, "If you put it on a big ship, and carve its water marks, and weigh it to carry it, the school can know it." With such a talented son, it is no wonder that Cao Cao was so sad about his death that he had to operate a secret marriage for him.

The rise of secret marriage is related to Cao Cao's doting on children. But there is also a saying among the people that if you don't "marry" the dead unmarried, the home will be haunted and the family will be restless. Therefore, in ancient times when superstition was prevalent, ghost marriage was generally recognized by the people and became a "legal marriage", and the two families of the tomb owner also became "in-laws".

"Ghost marriage" has not been extinct in various Chinese dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, secret marriages were the most prevalent. According to Kang Yuzhi's "Yesterday's Dream Record", when an unmarried man or woman dies, his parents must ask a "ghost matchmaker" to say goodbye, and then carry out divination.

"The History of the Yuan Dynasty: The Biography of the Daughters" contains: "If the children die without a wife, they may ask for the bones of the deceased women to be buried together." ”

"The History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of the Daughters" also contains: "...... Liu Bochun died, and his hired daughters were the same, and they were all buried together. ”

Until the Qing Dynasty, this custom of women's burial was still very popular with the strengthening of the concept of chastity. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that feudal etiquette and religion gradually disappeared under the impact of Western spiritual civilization.

The reason why Leng Qing knew so clearly was because after Mengyu's death, Meng's father said that "the fallen leaves should return to the roots", in order to bury Mengyu, Leng Qing accompanied Meng's father back to Meng's hometown, and under the encouragement of the old people in the neighborhood of his hometown, Meng's father actually came up with the idea of doing a "secret marriage" for Mengyu in private.

Although he knew that Dad Meng had his own considerations, maybe Dad Meng hoped that Mother Meng, who was suffering from depression, could recover, or maybe he wanted Meng Yu not to be alone on Huangquan Road, in short, after Leng Qing knew about it, he refused on the spot without hesitation.

After that, Meng Yu was buried in her hometown, Meng Yu's father was nowhere to be found, Meng Yu's mother was sick, and Leng Qing was busy tracking down the truth about Meng Yu's suicide, and the matter was over.

In fact, after experiencing this kind of strange experience in person, if Leng Qing was given another chance to return to that time, Leng Qing thought that she might not be as righteous and unbiased as she did at the beginning.

Every time she dreams back at midnight, how can she be willing to be alone under the nine springs......

Now looking at Yan Ziming's face with a bright "Why do you have to be so unbelievable" expression, Leng Qing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment before considering the words and said: "I just think that it is understandable that this kind of thing happens among the people, after all, the people are so ignorant, but even the monarch of a country can do such a stupid thing, it is a bit too ......" In the end, Leng Qing still failed to say the words "disaster to the country and misleading the people" after all.

Yan Ziming let out a chuckle from his throat when he heard this, and then, Yan Ziming turned his head to look at the scarlet charcoal fire in front of him, and said in a clear but unclear tone: "You are too naïve! Don't forget, the royal family is the supreme existence in every country, and the people of the royal family say yes, this matter is okay! What's more, the person who did this is still the emperor of the Dazhang country, the man who stands at the peak of the power of the Dazhang country." This is the imperial power that only the royal family can exercise!"

Sighing helplessly, Leng Qing also turned her head to look at the scarlet charcoal fire in front of her, and said in a loud tone: "I see!

Yan Ziming opened his mouth and was about to answer, when a low and charming but ridiculous voice suddenly interjected very abruptly: "What kind of power crushes people to death? Master, if you leave for such a while, you are using the identity of the prince to bully people, can you use the identity of the prince to oppress people, can you?"

Yan Ziming and Leng Qing both turned their heads, and as they expected, the person who spoke was Wang Quan, who had left earlier.

Seeing that Yan Ziming and Leng Qing both looked at him, Wang Quan, who was standing at the door of the apse, smiled and threw down the sentence "Little couple, let's eat" and turned around and left.

Glancing at Yan Ziming, the corners of Leng Qing's mouth twitched and said, "Yan Ziming, I want to smoke this thing to death, don't you mind!"

Yan Ziming looked at Leng Qing, pursed his lips and smiled lightly, like a flower: "Don't mind." (To be continued.) )
