Chapter 336: The Question of Concubinage

handed back the clan genealogy to Duan Lun, and seeing that the other party didn't accept it, Li Zheng said suspiciously: "Don't you have to take it to the court to keep a file?" ”

Duan Lun asked, "Donkey, is this all right?" ”

Li Zheng glanced at it and didn't make a typo, "What's wrong?" ”

Duan Lun sighed and said, "Don't you understand? ”

Li Zheng asked curiously, "What else do I need to know?" ”

Glancing at Zou Guogong's expression, Duan Lun said: "The concubine is from a poor family, so he must not know the rules of the court, so the lower official will talk to the concubine." ”

Li Zheng: "Please speak." ”

Duan Lun said: "The county prince has 3,000 households, six concubines, fourteen Cheqian Sima, and fifty travelers. There should also be gold medals, Xuan Zhu ribbons, green and purple cyanosis, three beam crowns, nine seam Pi Mu, eight banners, and seven crowns. ”

So? Is there something wrong? Li Zheng was puzzled.

"Six concubines." Duan Lun pointed to the clan genealogy and said, "Write it down." ”

"Six concubines?" Li Zheng said in surprise.

"That's right." Duan Lun nodded.

"You want me to marry six concubines? I'm crazy about me. Li Zheng said unhappily.

"Pony! You are the prince of the county, how can you not have a concubine. Duan Lun said: "The horse also has to open up branches and leaves for the family and the court, like the horse is so good, the children born and raised must also be excellent, and it can also add more Ding to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Duan Lun continued: "Ordinary people don't care, but the county prince should also have a few more children for the Tang Dynasty, and now His Majesty encourages women to have more pregnancies, and as a powerful person, he should also lead by example." ”

"Wait!" Li Zheng shouted to stop his words.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at it with a smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became ecstatic.

Li Zheng said: "Isn't this forcing Liang? It's too much. ”

Duan Lun said: "Isn't this how it should be? General Cheng Biting Jin still has eleven concubines. ”

"Can I compare to him?" Li Zheng almost called out, "Does the court have this rule that I have to take a concubine?" ”

Duan Lun said: "There is no on the surface, but this is also a rule, taking concubines and giving birth to children is for filial piety, for the family, and for the community." ”

Li Shimin really wants to increase the population, and the current population of Datang is really not enough.

Duan Lun said: "If you can't choose a six-room concubine, you can also write two first." ”

Li Zheng held the clan genealogy in his hand and said: "If I don't take a concubine, am I disloyal and unfilial?" ”

Duan Lun said again: "I can't say that, loyalty and filial piety are the horse's own business, and it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

"That's terrible, I can't write it later if I don't write it first."

"It's not good to deal with it down there."

"It's my business whether to marry or not, what does it have to do with the errand."

Duan Lun said aggrievedly: "How many do you write a horse." ”

"Can this be written casually?"

Duan Lun said: "There are still women who don't want to marry a concubine? I don't know that since the horse wrote the Red Mansion and the White Snake, there are many women in Chang'an who want to be the pillow person of the horse, as long as the horse is written and His Majesty gives marriage, as a princess to marry the horse together, who will refuse, who dares to refuse. ”

"Then you can't just write it, I'm not a beast who forcibly marries other women?"

"It's normal for a man to marry a wife and have children, and who doesn't have two or three concubines."

It's really inappropriate to talk about monogamy in this day and age, and it's brainless to talk to such people.

Li Zheng said: "I won't write it!" How to drop. ”

Seeing the stalemate between Li Zheng and Duan Lun, Zhang Gongjin stood up and said: "It's really not good for a county prince to have no concubines, and now His Majesty still encourages widows to remarry, if you don't want to make up for a living, do you know a woman?" ”

Duan Lun asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to take out a roster and said: "These are the women among the magnates of the Chang'an families, if there is no candidate for the horse, our Ministry of Rites is prepared, the age and appearance are all there, choose one of the horses?" ”

Li Zheng looked at the names on the roster, and wrote descriptions such as slender, dignified, and plump about his appearance.

The ghost knows if someone rushed to marry their daughter and bought off the officials of the Ministry of Rites to write it.

Zhang Gongjin saw Li Zheng's thoughts and said: "Your temper is really weird, how many men are rushing to fill the six rooms, but you don't want any of them." ”

Li Zheng said: "My taste is relatively light. ”

Zhang Gongjin said again: "Actually, this matter is also easy to do, Princess Changle marrying you is also your wife, and she is also the wife of your Li Zheng's family, there are some things that the husband can't call the shots, and taking a concubine for you as your wife is also what Princess Changle should do." ”

"Is that okay?" Li Zheng was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop.

Zhang Gongjin nodded and said: "As the wife of the county prince, as a princess, Princess Changle will also give you a concubine." ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Li Zheng was embarrassed, Zhang Gongjin said again: "The old man knows that you don't want to take more concubines, so it's better to leave this matter to Princess Changle to decide by herself, and the palace maids around Princess Changle will be married to the concubine at that time." ”

Li Zheng pondered.

Zhang Gongjin said: "Although the dowry is different from the concubine room, the dowry is not a concubine, and the marrying palace maid is only a servant of the concubine. ”

Li Zheng looked at Zhang Gongjin.

Zhang Gongjin continued: "But as long as you return to the palace maid and marry the concubine as a concubine in the name of a good girl, it will be fine, so it will save trouble." ”

"Fake concubine?" Li Zheng said curiously.

Zhang Gongjin nodded and said to Li Zheng: "If you don't make the decision on this matter, Princess Changle will definitely call the shots for you, the eldest lady in charge will not let her husband take a concubine, and it will have a bad reputation when it spreads, and besides, you are the county princess with a good reputation." ”

"So for the sake of the princess's reputation, you still have to take a concubine, and if you don't take a concubine, it will ruin the princess's reputation."

Li Zheng held his forehead and said, "It's so complicated, I'm a little messy." ”

Zhang Gongjin said to Duan Lun: "It's better to say that after you return to the court, Li Zheng will let Princess Changle be in charge of this matter, so that your errand will be decent, and it will also show the trust of the concubine in Princess Changle, and Li Zheng can also not be so entangled." ”

Zhang Gongjin said that the Ministry of Rites, the horses, and the royal family have a solution.

Li Zheng looked at Zhang Gongjin again, he was worthy of being a strategist under Li Shimin, one of the leaders among the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, and he really had a set of things.

"Zou Guogong, if you can't stay in Chang'an in the future, you can come to my Jingyang to care for the elderly, and you can also teach the children to read."

"Teach the kids."

"That's right." Li Zheng said: "Our children in Jingyang are very awake, and now we need people like Zou Guogong to teach them the way of life and the way of life." ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled helplessly, "Li Zheng, you are too greedy, Li Chunfeng, Yan Liben, and Chu Suiliang are already under your hands." ”

"One more is not much, I have the money for you to offer."

Zhang Gongjin still smiled helplessly, "The old man thinks about it." ”

"Don't think about it, anyway, you don't have an official position now, it's better to come to Jingyang to recuperate, Doctor Sun is also here, Jingyang Mountain is good, the water is good, the air is good, and more importantly, you can eat and live."
