Chapter 24: Princess Gwanghwa (Part II)
If he used a female secretary, Li Zheng didn't know what others would think of him. He is just a small barbarian tribal leader, and using her as a princess as a secretary is considered to be a politician in the 0 palace? Oh, wrong, she's not her own post-0 house now. Forget it, use it, and be afraid that others will say nothing? As long as she has the ability, it doesn't matter if she is a man or a woman! A few decades later, Wu Zetian is also a woman, isn't she also very powerful, and she also ascended the throne of the empress? There's no way, now I can control and influence the Tuoba, Yeli, and the three parts of the fine seal, there are too few literate people, and there are only a few apprentices with two knives in Yeli Heizhi and Yeli Dulan, and they are tired and tired, and they can't be busy at all.
After thinking for a moment, Li Zheng explained, "Your Highness, the party members have no writing and can't remember....... It's just that I didn't become the leader, and if I did, it was necessary to tame these barbarians..... To put it bluntly, you, the secretary, are helping me with all the paperwork. If you can, you can also help me write an announcement or something. You know that few of my men are literate......."
"This, this, I'm a woman, if I help you deal with paperwork, will I be gossiped about??" Although Yang Ruoxi was a little moved, she was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and she was still a little apprehensive.
"It's okay, Your Highness, don't forget that this is outside the Saiwai, not in the Central Plains, and the Confucian set is a fart here!! You should also know that there is a big country thousands of miles to the west, and even the lord of the country is a woman, why can't I let you be a secretary to assist me in handling government affairs?? The big country in Li Zheng's mouth is the East Woman Country, which is the prototype of the later Daughter Country.
"Okay...... I took the job of the secretary........ "Yang Ruoxi asked herself how much ability she had, but it was a pity that she was born as a daughter, first in Dasui, and then married to Tuyuhun, and there was no room for her to play, but she didn't expect to meet Li Zheng, which made her very happy, and Li Zheng on the side was also very happy, can she be happy, such a beautiful woman, her identity is still so noble, she was brought to be a secretary by herself, maybe she will be in the future...... Hehe, I can only mean that I can't say it......
The name problem is solved, and the next problem is very simple, Li Zheng took the test for this princess Xiaomi, and found that the other party really deserved to be born in the royal family, and this knowledge was profound enough, which made Li Zheng very satisfied, "Well, Your Highness, after all, you have a noble status, and it is a little inappropriate to call me the big boss all the time, in this way, you can call me Ah Zheng" Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then, then, the concubine body will call you Ah Zheng, oh yes, if you don't dislike it, you can call the concubine's name a pity...... Yang Ruoxi told Li Zheng his girlfriend name, his face blushed and his heart beat at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, this little enemy really has an intention for himself, but this little enemy is very well disguised, it's good to have an intention, it's better than being old and yellow and no one asks, isn't it?
Li Zheng's eyesight is very good, he clearly found the hesitation and struggle of Yang Ruoxi, the princess of Guanghua, maybe this is the pain shared with the princess, he shook his head, and ordered his subordinates to make a roasted whole sheep and then invited the royal sister and princess Xiaomi to eat together, when eating the roasted whole sheep, Li Zheng said, "That sister Ruoxi, I can call you like that??? I know what you're suffering from, and I know what you're struggling with, isn't it because you're in a barbarian land, with different languages and customs, and you don't have a common language with the wild and fierce husband, well, it's like Murong Fuyun; And if there is a conflict between the country you are born in and the country you are married to, it is difficult to be a princess like you after all, you have to survive in the cracks, right??? ”
Li Zheng saw that Yang Ruoxi's eyes were already red, and his heart was very unbearable, he suddenly remembered one of his poems in the whole Tang Dynasty, so he plagiarized it, "Sister Ruoxi, I still admire a princess like you, those men have no ability, but they put the burden of the family and country on you weak women, which is very unfair!! I'll make you a poem......." Li Zheng got up and paced, and began to read: "It's not difficult to get married and leave your hometown. The holy grace is far away, and the road weeps and looks at each other. Shase's face is exhausted, and the corner is pink. What is the concubine's heart, he looks forward to Chang'an every day. "Li Zheng just finished reading, Yang Ruoxi couldn't cry anymore, isn't this poem written by a poor person like her?
Li Zheng looked at Yang Ruoxi, who had become a tearful person, and felt very sorry in his heart, so he took out a silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe the tears of this royal sister, who knew that Yang Ruoxi hugged himself, so he whimpered and cried, which made Li Zheng very embarrassed, but he hated this kiss even more in his heart, and he swore in his heart that if he could dominate one party, he would never let the daughter of the Han family sacrifice herself for the hard-won so-called peace, even if she wanted to be married, she could only marry someone else, instead of relying on women to seek peace like these emperors!!
What is a princess? They were nothing more than a group of poor and weak women chosen by the rulers, who were chosen by their own kings and then used as tools to marry into foreign lands, and their fate was mostly very miserable and miserable.
Huaxia's policy of peace began with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, because he was besieged by the Xiongnu in Pingcheng, Liu Bang was forced to agree to the Xiongnu's request for peace, and the policy continued until the Qing Dynasty. It is not difficult to understand the emergence of this policy in the Han Dynasty, where various regions were divided and did not face foreign nations as a unified country in the pre-Qin era. The nomadic people also gradually developed from scattered tribes to large empires, and the rise of the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties became a political force that could compete with the Central Plains, followed by the Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans and so on.
Li Zheng has read a statistic before, not counting other dynasties, even if it is Sui and Tang, how many princesses are there in Sui and Tang? 6 princesses of the Sui Dynasty who married Turkic, Tuyuhun and Gaochang; In the Tang Dynasty, there were 20 princesses who married Uighurs, Khitans, Xi, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Bahanna.
In the feudal era, China was a society where imperial power was supreme and male power was supreme, and women were only appendages of men, without any social status. Even the women of the royal family have a worry-free life, and they enjoy glory and wealth in brocade clothes and food. But they still have to face the fact that they are close. As long as the country needs them, they will leave everything behind and marry in a foreign land.
Marrying far away is already very difficult for women, coupled with the difference in lifestyle, the huge change in the living environment, and the life of the princess will be even more difficult. In addition, the difference in morality and ethics will add a heavy shackle to the princess. Therefore, the princesses of all dynasties did not live long.
