Chapter 56: The ...... of the Seven Grades Commandment?
The Duke of the East China Sea is finally in office!
After waiting for a few days, Changshi Cui Zhuo was about to burst into tears.
I forgot that a few days ago, he was still nesting in the mansion, thinking of countless excuses to use to prevaricate when he was summoned by the East China Sea Minister.
And in the past few days, he wants to see Donghai Gong every day, but he has been blocked by the black-faced guards, etc., I heard that the guards are only the first level, after the guards, there are secretaries, after the secretaries, and there are personal secretaries of the Donghai Gong, so through the many checkpoints, the posts that ask to see can be sent to the Donghai Gong, and he can't pass the first level.
There is no way, so I can only wait for the time of sitting in the government every day like Zhang Lao joining the army.
And this morning, Ya finally waited for the Duke of Donghai.
I heard the little official come to spread that the Duke of Donghai had entered his hall.
Cui Zhuo was about to burst into tears.
Hurriedly came to the hall of the East China Sea Princess, and then, I saw the personal secretary of the legendary East China Sea Prince.
A pair of twin sisters with extremely beautiful and hot figures, both wearing Hu clothes, long swords at the waist and hips, and colorful silk silk, tie out the slender waists of this pair of twin beautiful girls.
"Commander Shi Cui Zhuo, ask to see the Duke of the East China Sea!" Cui Zhuo hugged his fists.
Soon a lazy voice came from inside: "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open by a pawn secretary, and Cui Zhuo hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked in quickly.
Oh? Zhang Dingnan is also there.
Cui Zhuo frowned.
"Oh, Cui Changshi, you came just in time, since the officials in this state are all sick, and Zhang is old in the army, then you have to work harder to pick up the affairs in the yamen, or give you a name? Do you know about Zhangzhou for the time being? ”
Behind the bookcase, there is a handsome young man, and the pearl on his crown is really rich and jade.
But his words made Cui Zhuo almost fall down.
"My father has just come to Zhangzhou, and everything has not been straightened out, so I will be biased towards you, Cui Zhuo, but if something goes wrong, don't blame this father!"
Cui Zhuo looked at Lu Ning speechlessly, is this Donghai Gong really stupid or fake stupid? But no matter if it's really stupid or not, it's quite good at finding the blame.
"Yes, the lower official obeys the order!" Cui Zhuo hurriedly said: "The Duke of Donghai has just arrived, and he needs to go to meet the King of Jinjiang." "Hurry up and say what you want to say, otherwise, this East China Sea prince may not be able to blow some kind of demonic wind.
In the past few days, he has been holding back in the yamen, and he was "recommended" by his colleagues who were "sick" to remind the Duke of Donghai that he should leave for Quanzhou to visit the King of Jinjiang.
"Ah, my father took a sea boat to blow the sea breeze, and recently got a migraine, wait for your body to feel better!" Lu Ning waved his hand absently.
Cui Zhuo looked at him resentfully, you, even if you pretend! Do you look like you're sick?
"Master, there is an envoy!"
Outside, there was already a somewhat familiar voice from Lu Ning, "Donghai Gong, you are very diligent!" ”
Diligent, diligent?!!! Cui Zhuo's heart is ready to die.
A state capital that has been in office for so long and does not go to the treasury to inspect it? Isn't that hard work or laziness at all? It's an official who doesn't know how to be an official at all, and is extremely confused.
Now, Cui Zhuo doubts the legend from the capital, what is this young upstart who made the boss's military exploits to be sealed by the grace of the heavens, this must be a cover-up statement. Looking at his style, maybe he is the illegitimate son of the royal family, and only the second ancestor can be an official in such a daze.
Zhang Lao joined the army and was even more numb, obviously this young magnate had made him doubt life, he used to be cynical and looked at mediocre officials and greedy officials very unpleasantly, and those people he didn't like before were small compared to the Duke of Donghai.
Walking in outside the hall was Lu Ning's old friend, Qiao Kuangshun, a scholar from the middle school, he was an envoy, and the guards outside the mansion couldn't stop him, but followed him in to pray, and Da Mi Tao also pushed open the door of the hall when he spoke.
Looking at Qiao Sheren, Lu Ning just smiled and said, "Let me guess, is that the thing, is it done?!" ”
Josher laughed, "It's half." ”
Lu Ning shook his head, "That's not interesting!" ”
Qiao Sheren smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that you should be content, if it were not for the generosity of the saints, how could you be allowed to mess around?
In this edict, the Chaser was personally summoned by the Son of Heaven and said something to him.
It turned out that before the Duke of Donghai left for Zhangzhou from the East China Sea to take up his post, he wrote a note to the Holy Son of Heaven, saying that before he traveled thousands of miles, there was a matter to ask His Majesty, that is, he was no longer ready to marry a wife, because he liked the two women that the Holy Son of Heaven sent to him as slaves, Gan and You, but because they were lowly households, they were exempted, and they could only be concubines, and it seemed that it was against the law to become a wife, so he was willing not to marry a wife again, and only hoped that the next could give Gan and You the title of "Mrs. Ru", so that there would be no regrets in this life.
When the Holy Son of Heaven summoned Qiao Sheren, he couldn't help but sigh, Donghai Gong really had hysteria as the imperial brother said, and now he looks at it even more innocent and simple, without losing his innocence, otherwise, he would not be confused by the wife and concubine of a criminal official, and he was willing not to marry again.
It is also rumored that the East China Sea Gong gambles and is arbitrary, which is simply nonsense.
When the Duke of the East China Sea went to Zhangzhou, he had thought about it for a long time, but after all, he still hoped that, as King Yan said, the Duke of the East China Sea would bring surprises to me in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.
And the Duke of Donghai went to work in a few days, which can be seen that he is no different from the ignorant young man described by the former emperor's brother.
Come to think of it, I'm still a little sorry for him.
It was the first time that the Chausher had heard the Divine Will, and many of the words were private, and he was pleasantly surprised, but he did not dare to say a word.
When the Son of Heaven asked him about his perception of the East China Sea, how could Qiao She have two words, so he described an imaginary, silly, simple, and disregarding personal honor and disgrace, and the image of the young Donghai Gong who was dedicated to serving the country according to the meaning of the saint.
When enthusiastically praising the heart of the prince of the East China Sea, the Qiao She people themselves took it seriously, and tears filled their eyes, so that the saint could believe that he was telling the truth, right?
But when he returned to the mansion that night, the Josher was so sick that he didn't eat dinner.
The Son of Heaven did agree to half of the request of the Duke of Donghai.
The laws of this dynasty were promoted to the Yuan Ge, and the regulations on titles, internal and external women, etc., basically followed the Tang law, and no major changes were made, but the foreign women had an extra jade given by the royal family.
According to the promotion of the yuange, the hierarchy between wives, concubines, concubines, and maidservants is strict, and there is no way to cross it.
Only those who are above the fifth rank official have a wife, who has a higher status than a concubine, and they will be officially registered, which is graded.
For example, the Duke of Donghai, the county prince of the feudal country, can have eight concubines, which is regarded as the seventh grade.
And the beautiful wife and concubine of the Donghai County Order obtained by the Duke of Donghai really can't become a concubine, and the most she can only be a concubine who is one level higher than her maid.
Not to mention, Donghai Gong whimsically came up with the name of "Mrs. Ru".
However, the saint also agreed to half of the request of the Duke of Donghai, and the content of the edict was to allow Lu Ning to be the concubines of the Gan family and the You family, and to give the two of them jade and Tianchai ceremonial clothes.
This is the treatment of a foreign woman.
According to the national etiquette system, the lowest rank of foreign women is the fifth grade.
For example, the mother or wife of an official above the fifth rank can be given the decree of the county monarch and the township monarch, which is commonly known as the five-grade edict.
The prince's concubines can have two widows, and they are also five-grade orders.
And the wives of the rest of the princes and high-ranking officials are not in the edict and the like, from the sixth to the eighth rank, they are only registered, but they are also famous.
Mrs. Decree has jade and hairpin dresses.
The regulations of the hairpin dress are: 1 product 9 Tian, 2 product 8 Tian, 3 product 7 Tian, 4 product 6 Tian, and 5 product 5 Tian.
And this time, along with the edict of the Son of Heaven, there were also jade and hairpin dresses given to Gan and You, two of whom wore jade hairpin dresses, which were three days.
It seems that the Gan family and the You family are still seven grades, but they have also become Mrs. Fate.
Seven Rank Outer Woman, this is the first case in this dynasty.
After all, if you have a hairpin dress, you are qualified to follow your husband on a pilgrimage, and if you can make a pilgrimage, is it not a foreign woman? Is that what the folk call Mrs. Fate?
The Josher man coughed while thinking wildly, and said, "What about the two ladies?" ”
Although the edict is a reply to Lu Ning and does not need to be read, there is another book, which is to praise the words and sentences of the two ladies and the clear eyes of the reward, and the two beautiful concubines of the Duke of Donghai must be present to announce the decree.
Lu Ning looked at Cui Zhuo and Zhang Lao joining the army and said, "You two should step down!" ”
Hearing the edict, Cui Zhuo's ears were already erected, but Donghai Gong obviously didn't want the two of them to be present, so he had to hug his fists and bow down, "The next official retires!" ”
From beginning to end, Lu Ning didn't introduce the Qiao She people to them, and the Qiao She people didn't have a good impression of the local officials appointed by the Qingyuan Army, and they didn't care about them.
frowned even more and said: "Donghai Gong, this huge mansion is deserted, it seems that the Donghai Gong has worked hard, and only by being as diligent as the Donghai Gong can this Zhangzhou land be smooth and peaceful!" ”
He naturally knows why the yamen of the huge state capital is so deserted, and his heart says that it is difficult to be the Duke of the East China Sea, he is here, it can be said that he is not afraid of hardships and dangers, if he is really ignorant, it is okay, but obviously, the Duke of the East China Sea is not a simple person!
At this moment, the Qiao She people suddenly felt that the good words he said for the Duke of Donghai in front of the Son of Heaven were not ignorant of conscience.
His sigh is also sincere.
Cui Zhuo, who was walking out, let out a wail, these central officials, are their heads abnormal?! How do you listen to this, in the center, in the Jingshi, this likes to enjoy the absurd young magnate who is almost perverted, or is it an extremely diligent wind comment?!
Cui Zhuo and Zhang Lao joined the army and walked out, Lu Ning looked at Qiao Sheren, and coughed, "Brother Qiao, it's been hard to run all the way." ”
The people of Josher knew in their hearts that it was not good, this guy didn't seem to like to talk to people.
"You see, we came by sea, and the journey was very windy and difficult, and we didn't even arrive a few days before you......"
The Josher people were speechless, did they say that about themselves?
"Alas, my two ladies are both suffering from the wind and cold, and they can't get out of bed, Brother Qiao, you see, compromise and declare it to me, how about I convey the holy grace to my two ladies again?"
Lu Ning didn't want to see Gan and You Wuniang, kneeling in front of these officials and listening to the emperor's grace.
As he spoke, Lu Ning was the old rule again, bowing down and hugging his fists.
Qiao She smiled bitterly, seeing that there was no one left and right, only the cronies who were holding the jade plate behind him, so he first took out the first silk album on the plate, handed it to Lu Ning and said, "You can see this yourself." ”
This is the edict of the Son of Heaven replying to the Duke of the East Sea, which is preceded by the content of the Song of the East China Sea, and then begins with the edict, and the following is the reply of the Son of Heaven.
In Lord Tang's reply, Lu Ning was allowed to take the Gan family and the You family as concubines, and as for any titles such as Mrs., Tang ignored them.
Qiao Sheren took out another piece of yellow silk paper from the jade plate, unfolded and sang: "Under the door: Lu Ningmei, the prince of the founding county of the East China Sea, Gan's Youshi, has the etiquette of frugality, gives Tian Hai a ceremonial robe, makes the same Zhai clothes, and adds a double pendant!" ”
Then, Qiao Sheren smiled: "Donghai Gong, congratulations!" ”
Lu Ning was stunned, this edict is so simple, just a short sentence, I think it is, it is impossible for the Holy Son of Heaven to have a lot of rhetoric praising the life of the woman, what is it?
"What about the hairpin dress and jade, I'll show it to my two ladies, Brother Qiao, you rest first, and I'll accompany you to eat and drink later."
Seeing Lu Ning's anxious appearance, Qiao Sheren smiled bitterly in her heart, are your two wives really bedridden?
What are you liar?!
