Volume 1 Chapter 33 Marriage is not child's play
Because of the robbery and killing of the envoy group, Yue Guoguo and Yunmengguo began to fight each other, so the original plan to go abroad through Dao Yue could only be shelved, and now the south is not stable, and the Western Regions have just descended, in order to avoid the north and south, it is not suitable to ask Liu Changlin to lead troops to borrow Lu Fangguo. Therefore, the rescue of Wang Zizhao has been put on hold for the time being, and he can only wait for Fei Jie's southern rebellion to come back, and at the same time see what the result of the negotiation between the two parties will be after the robbery and killing of the envoy who went abroad.
Besides, although Fei Jie is a general, he was actually born in the capital and grew up in the capital, and at the age of eighteen, he was sealed into the military camp by virtue of the shadow, and was promoted from a small lieutenant all the way to the right chief of Jinwu, and he basically dealt with some small thieves or individual heroes on weekdays, and had no large-scale combat experience. Now leading the army south to quell the rebellion is really a duck to the shelf, so after arriving in Baisha County, he can only put on a posture of a corporal Lixian, and ask Ma Yin, the county guard of Baisha County, and Tan Yanliang, the county guard of the neighboring Wuling County, to plan together.
There are two roads to enter the Nanban tribe, where the untouchables occupy the mountains as kings: one is to start from Hutou downstream, which is a waterway, the distance is relatively close, but the beach is more rapid, and it is more dangerous; Second, starting from Chongxian behind the enemy, this road is relatively flat, but the transportation route is too long, and the supply is inconvenient. Ma Yin advocated going to Chong County, while Tan Yanliang advocated marching into Hutou to choke the passage between the untouchables and the outside world, so that the enemies of Chong County would be self-defeating. After all, after his grandfather was seriously ill and his younger brother Fei Zhong died, the reputation of the Fei family in the court is now declining, and the top priority is to establish his own military merits and save his reputation.
Since ancient times, the strategy of Pingjiang Jiangnan has been to occupy the upstream and break it, and now because it has to go deep into the den of thieves, it has to go against the trend from the downstream to the upstream. The place where the untouchables gathered to rebel is the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the terrain of Yunmeng Country is high in the west and low in the east, so the thieves occupy the high mountains and firmly guard the dangerous places, and every time the dangerous terrain is dangerous, due to the large drop, the turbulent water, and the enemy must be prevented from setting up ambushes, so the ships led by Fei Jie are often difficult to move an inch. It is now the end of autumn, because many soldiers came from the north, they are not accustomed to water warfare, and after being attacked, they accidentally fall into the water, either drowned alive or washed away by the current, and even if they are rescued from the ship, they are often infected with wind chill because they are soaked in cold water. At the same time, in the barbarian waters, after late autumn, there is a parasite called sand worm by the locals, once infected, it will grow red rashes, itching, and unbearable heat, and Fei Jie is also infected, so he can only dig grottoes along both sides of the river to build bamboo houses for shelter, and at the same time let Lang Zhong who accompanied the army hurry up to develop a cure.
But it was said that the news of the marriage between Wang Zizhao and the ninth princess of Fuyu Kingdom finally reached Yunmengguo, and after Wang Chang heard it, he couldn't help but scold himself, Evil obstacles! This is clearly a ploy used by the lord of Buyeo to covet the position of the crown prince of Yunmengguo, and his stupid son actually fell into the way, he knew that this was the case, it was better to let him die on the battlefield at the beginning, at least he could save a little face for the royal family of Yunmengguo. Now the seventh princess of Taibai Kingdom is still living in the palace of Yunmengguo, waiting for him to come back and get married, this kid is good, no matter how much the queen mother looks through the autumn water every day, she dares to ignore the alliance between Yunmengguo and Taibai Kingdom, and without the words of the matchmaker of her parents, she will take the concubine first and be happy, it is simply not as good as a beast! So on the one hand, he ordered all the princesses of Taibai Kingdom to hide from the princess of Taibai Kingdom about Wang Zizhao's marriage, and on the other hand, he secretly made up the idea of establishing a prince again.
It is said that Wang Zi Zhanzheng is due to his uncle Fei Jie's expedition to quell the rebellion, but the work is fruitless, the war is stale, I don't know what to do, I heard the news that his father is healed and is ready to take care of the government in person, and immediately wants to throw away this hot potato, and take the two princes of the auxiliary country, respectfully and personally go to the Zichen Hall to return the seal to Wang Chang, and welcome his father to come out to preside over the government.
"I've been suffering from illness these days, and I've worked hard for you Aiqing to help King Wei take care of the government! I don't know what I haven't decided about recently, but I also ask you Aiqing to speak out and listen to the widow. "Although Wang Chang lives in the harem, what did he miss in the previous dynasty, but at this time, he only took into account the face of King Wei and the two princes, so he just asked.
As soon as the words fell, Prince Duan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are clouds in "Etiquette": crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, township, shooting, court, and appointment, these eight etiquettes are the essence of etiquette and the righteousness of heaven and earth. Among the many rituals, the crown ceremony is the beginning of the ceremony, and the wedding is the foundation of the ceremony. The thirteenth prince, who has already performed the coming-of-age ceremony, must know the etiquette and integrity, but he is incorruptible and shameless, and without the words of his parents, he stops his wife and marries another person without the orders of his parents, which is really a loss of fundamentals and humiliating to the national body. As the saying goes, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, and I hope that Your Majesty will abide by the laws of the country, and deprive the thirteen princes of the crown and demote them to commoners, so as to set an example! ”
Liu Tingwei was shocked when he heard this, poor Thirteen Princes are adrift, lonely, Prince Duan, as the head of a family, not only has he not made any effort in redeeming the Thirteen Princes, but now he has to fall into the ground, he is really not a good person, so he argued with reason: "Your Majesty, wedding, this is a good thing that will combine the two surnames, and it is related to the sacrifice of the temple and the inheritance of the ancestors, so the gentleman attaches great importance to it." Must go through Nacai (that is, the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to discuss the marriage, the man's family prepares the gift to propose marriage), ask the name (that is, the man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth), Naji (that is, the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters and divination in the ancestral temple), Nazheng (that is, the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift), the invitation period (the man chooses the marriage date, prepares the gift to inform the woman's family, and asks for her consent), and welcomes (the woman gives the dowry one or two days before the marriage, makes the bed, and the groom goes to the woman's house to marry the next day), These six procedures can be regarded as the true completion of the ceremony. Now, these six procedures have not been completed, and the thirteenth prince is not married at all, and there is no so-called thing to stop his wife and marry again, it is nothing more than the fact that the ninth princess of Fuyu Kingdom has done something to elope without regard for morality and shame. There are clouds in the "Law of Etiquette", the runner is a concubine, and the parents and countrymen are cheap. Therefore, the matter of the thirteenth prince in the Buyeo Kingdom does not hinder the marriage contract between Yunmeng Kingdom and Taibai Kingdom, so how can he deprive the prince of the throne and degrade him to a concubine? ”
"The Book of Rites is wrong!" After hearing this, Cui Yu, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly stood up and refuted: "Your Majesty, there is a cloud in the "Book of Rites": there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and it is advisable to make the people forty years old and have no children to listen to concubines, thinking that it is a plan for the sect. That is to say, if a man in the country takes a concubine, he needs to meet two conditions: first, he is over 40 years old; The second is that there are no children. Now the thirteenth prince has just turned eighteen years old, and the seventh princess of Taibai has not yet married into our dynasty, which is not in line with the gift of concubine at all, please make a clear judgment to Your Majesty! ”
E Guogong also stood up and asked: "Through a cautious and solemn wedding and then the husband and wife go on a blind date, this is the basic principle of the wedding, it is precisely because there is a blind date for the husband and wife, so there will be a father and son blind date; It is precisely because there is a blind date between father and son that the monarch and the minister can be in their respective positions. Now, the whole country of Buyeo is commensurate with the thirteen princes, the women and children all know it, and all the countries have heard about it, it is a marriage, and it is simply that the thirteen princes ignore the law and family discipline of the country, which has become a big mistake, and they should be deprived of their titles! ”
