Zhao Junsheng has never been so strict with his children as he is today.

For this reason, Zhao Ting felt very aggrieved, knelt on the ground and lowered his head, and kept himself from crying, after all, a child who was only a teenager, although he was in the crown, he had been raised in the palace, and he had never suffered a half-day setback, and no one had let him be wronged.

Hua Mulan felt distressed again, and hurriedly said: "You scolded and scolded, the fourth child is still young after all, and he should know that he is wrong after this incident!" I see, he has also reached the age of a concubine, shall we tell him a family matter? With the princess, she can also control him a little and don't let him do anything wrong! ”

Zhao Jun had rich experience in his previous life, he knew that some men were easy to change their temperament, even if they were married, they still did their own thing, they had no sense of responsibility for the family or society, and they didn't care about the life or death of their wives and children, there were still many such people; But some men had a lot of fun before they got married, but after they got married, they changed and became diligent, down-to-earth and hardworking, and there are also such people.

Both of these situations have a lot to do with the wife, some of whom are strong in character and can pinch their husband after marriage, and can tie up and domesticate their husband like a wild horse, so that he realizes his responsibility; But some wives have a cowardly personality and can't control their husbands who have been freed, such wives are destined to be miserable in married life, if the husband has a good personality and quality, at most it is divorce, but some husbands have a violent temper, do you want to divorce? beats violently every day, so that you don't have the courage to resist, and you don't even dare to mention divorce, this kind of woman is doomed to a lifetime of tragedy.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Zhao Ting: "Get up, I ask you, do you have a favorite woman?" ”

Zhao Ting hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" ”

Hua Mulan was stunned, she never knew that her fourth child had a woman she liked, she glanced at Zhao Junsheng, and hurriedly asked, "Which young lady is it?" ”

"It's my uncle's cousin!"

Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng said in unison: "Wanru? ”

Zhao Ting immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, it's Cousin Wanru!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't think about it, and vetoed it on the spot: "No, I don't agree!" ”

Zhao Ting was anxious, but Mulan was stunned, and wondered: "Although Wanru is one year older than the fourth child, I think that child is not good, quite capable, my younger brother also often goes on expeditions and is on the border, thanks to her hosting at home, she also takes good care of my mother, and several younger brothers are also very obedient under her care, and their studies are good, this child is a strong person, and it is not bad to have her in charge of the fourth child!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "This matter is not negotiable, you choose another suitable one for him, or let him choose himself, he can choose anyone, but the children of the Huaxiong family can't!" ”

Now Mulan is gone, "I don't understand, why can't my brother's children?" Do you look down on my Hua family? Then why did you want to marry me in the first place? ”

Zhao Junsheng stroked his forehead with his hand, "These are two different things!" ”

Hua Mulan seemed to have thought of something, thought about it and said to Zhao Ting: "Fourth, you go back to the house first, and I will discuss this matter with your father and the emperor!" ”

Zhao Ting looked at the two of them, got up with a look of anger and doubt, and said, "Oh, Erchen retires!" ”

When Zhao Ting left, Mulan asked Zhao Junsheng: "Are you worried that after the fourth brother and my brother marry, my brother will support the fourth brother to compete with the eldest for the right to inherit the throne?" Also, although they are all nephews of my brother, the identity of the nephew and son-in-law is much closer than that of a simple nephew, and my brother will definitely support the fourth child! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I will dismiss your brother and let him stay at home, I will see how he supports the fourth child and what to use to support the fourth child!" ”

"You······ How can you do that? ”

"I'm going to do this, what's wrong?"

Mulan was silent.

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea and said: "Of course, this is also one of the reasons why I disagree, it doesn't matter to me, I don't agree with the fourth child marrying Wanru thinking that our two families are related, and the fourth child and Wanru are cousins within three generations, and cousins and brothers can't get married!" ”

Mulan's eyes widened, "Cousins can't get married?" Says who? There are cousins married everywhere in the world, you go and ask those wealthy families, even ministers and ministers have cousins married, and the royal families of all dynasties have also had this kind of thing, why can't they come to you? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "You still know too little, cousins within three generations are very harmful to future generations, and the probability of born offspring carrying congenital diseases is much more than that of non-blood couples!" ”

Hua Mulan didn't believe it: "I don't believe it, how can you say it so seriously, so many cousins are married, and I haven't heard of a few cases of children who are not healthy!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Of course, there is a reason: first of all, there are more brothers and sisters in every family now, and there are many people in a family, in order to show closeness, men and women between in-laws call each other cousins, in fact, there is not much blood relationship between them, not within three generations, so the remaining children after they get married have fewer deformed children or mental retardation, and even if there are, they cannot survive in the mother's womb, or die early after birth!" ”

"Secondly, this situation mostly occurs among the wealthy, families, wealthy families, powerful and royal families, and ordinary people rarely have cousins who are married, because they have no interests to maintain by in-laws!"

"In the end, because this kind of thing happens mostly among the rich, the family, the wealthy, the powerful and the royal family, they are all people who want to be faced, if there is a deformed child born in the family, in order not to publicize the ugliness of the family, most of them claim that the child died in the mother's womb in childbirth, or died early, but secretly send these deformed children to distant people's homes, and then give some money, whether they can live depends on the destiny of heaven, you go and see, who will publicize the scandal in the family?"

Hua Mulan's face also changed after hearing this, "According to what you say, it is indeed best not to let cousins kiss each other, if you give birth to a stupid or deformed child, it will not only harm themselves, but also harm the child for life."

"There is no need to mention this, you have to talk to him about the fourth child, and then choose another family affair for him that he is satisfied with, the children of his current age are in the rebellious period, and they have to do it in reverse of what their parents say."

"Good!" Hua Mulan agreed, and said: "Now that the fourth child is also crowned, you can't let him be idle all day long, you see if you give him an official position, let him do an errand, you can't let him be wasted!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "I'll think about it!" ”

A team of guards was quickly ordered by Zhao Junsheng to be transferred to King Jing's Mansion, and Hua Mulan also selected a group of palace maids and eunuchs from the palace to go to King Jing's Mansion in the shortest possible time.

The corpses and traces of the fighting in the Jingwang Mansion have been cleaned up, but there is still a strong smell of blood, and the new eunuchs and palace maids immediately started cleaning again, washing them with wooden barrels and wooden basins with water several times, and finally they can live in people.

At this time, a carriage came from outside the palace, and a young boy came down from the carriage, who was handsome and upright, and had the temperament of reading poetry and books, he came to the front of the palace and bowed his hand to the guards standing guard, and handed over the famous thorn: "Labor driver report, Chu Yuan asks to see His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

One of the guards who stood guard took the thorn and said, "Wait! After speaking, he turned around and walked into the palace to report.

It didn't take long for the guard to return the famous thorn to Chu Yuan: "Your Highness is unwell, you don't see guests, please go back!" ”

Chu Yuan touched his nose, but his face did not show anything, but his heart was active, there was such a big thing in Jingwangfu last night, he came to see him to show his concern, how could Zhao Ting not see him? Could it be that he was seriously injured? Or is there another reason?

Chu Yuan decided to go back first and then make another plan, so he took back the name thorn and turned around and went down the steps to get into the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage away quickly, and the two people in short clothes glanced at each other, followed unhurriedly, hanging far behind the carriage, and changed positions from time to time.

When Chu Yuan returned home, Princess Nanjun came up to untie his cloak for him, but Chu Yuan refused: "No need, didn't you want to worship the Buddha two days ago?" The weather is not bad today, let's go today, the Buddhist temple should be very lively."

Princess Nanjun smiled and agreed, "Okay! ”

Soon, the couple took a carriage to Nanshan Temple outside the city, and there were indeed quite a lot of pedestrians on the road.

In the Qianguo, under the influence of the decree of the former Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao to destroy the Buddha, the number of temples and Shamen monks was once greatly reduced, and the Buddhist affairs in the northern region suffered a lot of great impacts.

After the Qianguo Dynasty, the relevant yamen specially established to manage the affairs of the three religions, both Buddhism and Taoism were relatively formalized, and monks and Taoists had to have a degree issued by the government before they could walk outside, and the impact of these outsiders who were not engaged in production on social production was also reduced to a minimum, and they were developing in a benign way.

And in the Southern Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, even the emperor advocated Buddhism, wantonly built temples and pagodas, Buddhism developed very rapidly, the momentum was out of control, and the concubine, the princess built the temple tower of the wind is particularly prosperous, most of them are in the Jiankang area, and later in the Tang Dynasty, the poet Du Mu wrote such a poem: "Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain."

Chu Yuan and his wife arrived at Nanshan Temple, and after entering the temple, it was really a peak of incense, and many people came to worship the Buddha with incense, but this scene was too far worse than in Jiankang.

There were many people in the temple and the voice was loud, and Princess Nanjun was not worried that her words would be heard by the entourage behind her, so she asked as she walked: "Fujun, why did you go to King Jing's Mansion and come back so quickly!" ”

Chu Yuan said: "Zhao Ting didn't see me at all, it stands to reason that I went to visit at this time to show concern, he should be very happy, but what I encountered was the opposite, I couldn't even enter the door, I suspect something happened!" ”

Princess Nanjun thought for a while and said, "I don't think this matter can be rushed, we still have to think about it in the long run!" ”
