The difference between these two people is mainly for Yu'er.

Wu Jianying's loyalty to Guan Zhuofan is not inferior to Jiang De, otherwise it would not be possible to be entrusted by Guan Zhuofan with the important task of guarding the capital - that is the "sending of the confidant". When he was in the United States, he survived, returned to the army, and after seeing Guan Zhuofan, he said, "My life belongs to the marshal, and no one can take it away except the marshal", which is not a slap on the back of Guan Zhuofan.

However, Wu Jianying is a person, gloomy and violent, and a character who is ruthless to others and to himself. On weekdays, he has a burnt yellow face, and he can't see his joy or anger, but in fact, except for Guan Zhuofan, no one else is under his word - of course, including women. Although he was not married, there were many women who passed through him. When I was doing long-haired back then, I didn't do things like forcibly kidnapping people's girls. A woman is but a garment to him.

Therefore, Guan Zhuofan believes that if Yu'er marries Wu Jianying, the couple will not be truly harmonious. If you accidentally become a resentful couple, tracing back to the source, the accounts will inevitably be counted on your head, wouldn't you have done bad things with good intentions and found yourself a big uncomfortable? In this way, the results of all kinds of plans for Yu'er will also be greatly reduced. Well, that's not a business.

On the other hand, Jiang De has a temper of impatience and righteousness, and an upright and upright temperament; For women, when he was in Shanghai, even his friends in the hall said that he was a "cold and hot" person. Yu'er marries him, and it is expected that the husband and wife will love each other and the fish and water will be harmonious. In this way, both in-laws will be deeply grateful to themselves as a big matchmaker. Well, that's how the abacus should be.

Another point is that Jiang De is burly and has a good appearance, compared to Wu Jianying's lean and thin figure. Gloomy and shriveled yellow skin. In the eyes of girls. The "appearance" of the gods is much higher.

Since Guan Zhuofan has a plan for Yu'er, the husband he introduced must be satisfied.

So, it's Jiang De. Wu Jianying's wife, go find it yourself, I won't participate.

The matter was settled, and Cixi had no more objections. Of course. For the time being, there is no need to explain to Yu'er, wait until the business of the trip to Tianjin is almost done, and then Guan Zhuofan will first make a foundation with her, and then the Queen Mother will marry.

However, an important "technical issue" about this marriage, Cixi and Guan Zhuofan, on that big four-poster bed, were in a happy and comfortable situation. There was a "lively discussion".

The conversation was provoked by Cixi.

"Jiang De is a Han Chinese, and Yu'er pointed it out to him. You have to carry the flag for him, you see, where is it better? ”

Jiang De is a Han Chinese, and "raising the flag" is to raise the "Han army". "Where to carry" refers to which flag to "carry" in—of course, one of the "five flags" inlaid with white, blue, blue, red, and red; The "three flags" of positive yellow, inlaid yellow, and white will not be his turn for the time being.

Cixi actually has a final decision in her heart about this matter, and she wants to come to Guan Zhuofan to say, "Naturally, you have to ask the Queen Mother to be the master", so it is logical to say her own arrangements. Whoever is Yu'er's husband listens to you, and which flag her husband carries to, you have to listen to me!

Guan Zhuofan pondered for a moment, but the words he said greatly surprised Cixi.

"The minister has a thought, and he doesn't know if it's appropriate? The minister thought that this 'flag' could not be raised! ”

Cixi was stunned: "The Manchus and the Han do not intermarry, and they don't 'raise the flag' for Jiang De, how can this marriage be 'tied' together?" You...... Have you changed your mind? ”

"Finger marriage" is also known as "tied marriage". "Above" is a man's family with one hand and a woman's family with the other, and they are "tied" together-this word "tied marriage" is very vivid.

Guan Zhuofan said: "The Queen Mother misunderstood. The minister refers to the rule that 'Manchu and Han do not intermarry'. ”

Cixi was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want to move this rule?" Zhuo Fan, this is the ancestral system, and it is not easy to move! Besides, what is the need to do so? ”

Hearing the word "Zhuo Fan", Guan Zhuofan used his hand to hug the smooth and smooth body of the royal sister into his arms.

Cixi sighed softly.

The Queen Mother thought about it, and the ministers felt very much. However, the rule of 'Manchu and Han do not intermarry' is said to be 'ancestral system', which is probably a misunderstanding. ”

The clever royal sister was confused by him: "Misunderstanding? How so? ”

Guan Zhuofan said solemnly: "The minister has checked the classic documents, 'Manchu and Han do not intermarry', which is not in the "Qing Dynasty Laws"; These five words have never appeared in any of the edicts. Not only that, in the fifth year of Shunzhi, Shizu also once told the Ministry of Rites: 'Fang is the next family today, the Manchu and Han officials and people are all innocent, and if they want to be close to each other, why not make them get married.' Since then, the Manchu Han officials and people, those who want to marry well, listen to it. ’”

The classic documents are very unfamiliar, and the Queen Mother is very unfamiliar with it, and when she heard Guan Zhuofan's words, she was stunned and didn't know what to do. Of course, Guan Zhuofan can't make it up, but-

After a long while, Cixi said, "Then what's going on?" Aren't all ...... Did you do that? ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "I have to say that it is 'conventional'. In the impression of the minister, since the founding of the country, the law of the imperial court has only been twice, and it clearly regulates the intermarriage between Manchu and Han. Once in the 57th year of Qianlong, the Dingzong Jueluo was not allowed to marry the Han people - please note that the banner people other than the Zongjueluo are not prohibited. ”

"The second time was in the second year of Daoguang, and the first volume of the "Household Regulations" "Banner People Marrying the Gate" stipulated, 'The daughter of the banner people in Beijing is not allowed to marry the people as wives' - the 'people' are the Han people - if they must marry, the woman must 'go out of the flag'. The Queen Mother, please note that the regulations here are limited to flag people in Beijing, and do not include flag people outside Beijing. In addition, the rule of 'raising the flag' only applies to the married woman, and it has nothing to do with her parents and brothers. Moreover, the Queen Mother also knows that for the poor flag people, 'out of the flag' is really not a severe punishment - some people may be in the right place. ”

Cixi let out an "um".

"Interestingly, this "Household Rule" also stipulates that 'if the daughter of the people marries the banner man, the patriarch will investigate and report it in detail, and give a reward of two silver taels in one piece. If there is a false claim, it will be found and punished severely. That is to say, if a Han woman marries a banner man, not only is it not forbidden, but it is also rewarded. ”

Cixi said "yo" softly, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This is the meaning of 'fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields'." However, if the 'manure water' flows into the fields from outside, it is glad. ”

Guan Zhuofan said with a smile: "Queen Mother Shengming! Moreover, the "Household Regulations" are cloudy, and they have to be revised every year - this is a work that can be done in the form of a pen, and it is really not even enough to reach the 'law', how can it be regarded as the 'ancestral system'? ”

Cixi muttered: "What do you mean is to add a sentence to the edict of 'referring to marriage', Yu'er doesn't have to 'go out of the flag'?" Well, a special favor for her? ”

Guan Zhuofan secretly praised the royal sister for her cleverness and said: "The Queen Mother Shengming! ”

Cixi said: "However, isn't it better to be a favor and to Jiang De?" Moreover, 'raising the flag' is giving one more thing, and 'not raising the flag' is just maintaining the original situation. Well, it seems that the grace of 'raising the flag' is more glamorous, right? ”

Guan Zhuofan's hand reached Cixi's chest, warmed the fragrant nephrite, pinched it, and said with a smile: "The queen mother's abacus is really loud, surrender!" ”

Cixi shuddered and couldn't help but moan. came back to his senses, twisted his body in his arms, and said in a coquettish voice: "You...... Yu'er is my person, Jiang De is your person, I say so, don't you still make face for you? ”

Guan Zhuofan said with a smile: "I am the Queen Mother!" After that, the strange hand that stayed on Cixi's chest became very unruly.

"I am the person of the Queen Mother" - this sentence floated into my ears, and I still heard fairy music! Cixi is like eating ginseng fruit, her whole body is comfortable, her heart is rippling, and it is difficult for herself.

She couldn't help Guan Zhuofan for a while before she grabbed his hand and gasped and said, "Don't make trouble yet...... A while...... How much is yours...... Now, let's get down to business! ……”

Guan Zhuofan smiled: "Okay, obey the order!" The strange hand, on the chest of the Queen Mother, moved a few times before finally stopping.

After the royal sister's breathing was even, Guan Zhuofan said: "What the Queen Mother said is that 'raising the flag' is of course much more glamorous than 'not raising the flag'. However, the minister has such a thought: if Jiang De is a banner person, he will be carried from the 'lower five banners' to the 'upper three banners', and they will naturally be happy; but he is a Han person, and he is carried into the 'Han army', and he is glamorous, but invisibly, it shows that the world is divided into Manchu and Han - the minister thinks that the world has changed over time, and this Manchu and Han Dynasty has come to the time when it is time to think about it and really blur it! ”
