Zhuang Wudi was afraid that Xiong Jing would be angry for a while, and rejected Qi Ren on the spot, so he played a round in advance. Although the Qi people are hateful and disappointing again and again, from a practical point of view, they are getting closer to the Chu State little by little. Not to mention anything else, at least the two countries are not in a state of severance of diplomatic relations now, and the Qi people promised to form an alliance, which is much better than before.

Perhaps because of his strategist, Zhuang Wudi is very aware of the gap between reality and ideals, and he knows how to compromise with reality. He was not Lu Gao who thought he was clever - although, although Lu Gao did find evidence of the Qin people's attack on Qi, allowing the Chu army to know the true intentions of the Qin people in advance, and traveled an extra thousand miles before the Huaishui froze over, he violated the most basic principle: overstepping the report. This life is over.

Not paying attention to the reality he is facing, and blindly being competitive, is a common mistake made by young people, and he fears that Xiong Jing will make such a mistake as well. However, he laughed as he spoke, "In that case, the matter will be discussed by the shogunate." ”

"Yui." When Tian He heard this, he nodded again and again, and Zhuang Wudi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xiong Jing didn't want to return to the camp immediately, he hurriedly took Tian He, Tian Zong and others away.

"The king is displeased." Mi Xuan stood beside Xiong Jing, dressed in red, she was like Xiong Jing's personal guard, and the Qi people didn't pay attention to her.

"What if you are displeased?" Xiong Jing is indeed displeased, and the displeasure lies in the fact that he really has no way to take all the people. He looked at the disobedient two not far away, and said, "It's lunch, and that's it for today." ”

"Xuan'er has not ridden a horse yet...... "Morning food has been three hours now, Xiong Jing spent an hour to introduce the whole body of the horse, the temperament of the horse and the horse's utensils, the second hour to take Mi Xuan to disassemble and assemble these horse harness and saddles, and the last hour to explain how to get on and off the horse. said that he was learning to ride a horse, but Mi Xuan didn't ride at all except for sitting on the saddle on his buttocks.

"It's too early for horseback riding." Xiong Jing told him very seriously, "With the discipline, those who are not skilled in getting on and off the horse are not allowed to ride." ”

"But, Ke Xuan'er is not a horseman." Men usually smile a lot, but when it comes to military affairs, they become serious and stereotyped. Seeing that he really wanted to treat himself as a pawn, Qi Xuan couldn't help but giggle.

"What do you want?" Xiong Jing tilted his head sideways, staring at her with an indifferent gaze that a woman had never seen before. There are some things that must be said clearly, and he should have said it clearly on the day he got married, and he didn't want women to have too much pressure at that time.

"Qin has never been a Zhou Li, but the women of Qin have been taught by Zhou Li, and they have been learning female workers since they were ten years old, and they are red, silkworms, weaving and spinning, and they are fifteen years old and waiting to be married. It is not that Zhou Li can't do it, and it's not that women can't practice female red, but ......, "The sun is blazing, and the man's words seem to come from another world." There was no smile on her face, and she was scared. "But you can't just learn from women."

"Is the noble man really that good?" Xiong Jing no longer looked at Mi Xuan, his eyes looked at the Qin army camp in the distance and the undulating mountains behind the camp. "The nobles tax their blood, the common people tax their wealth, the slaves tax their labor, all things are fair. If you can't ride a horse, you can't kill, you can't defend yourself, how are you like a common woman? Is it different that you are good at weaving, that your embroidery is more beautiful, and that you are better at music and dancing?

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. If you become a commoner, shall I also become a commoner? The Zhou people acted as merchants, learned from businessmen, monogamy became three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one wives, and the Zhou people were no longer small states of Zhou, but became Dayi Zhou, the root of this depravity. ”

"Xuan'er knows her mistake." It turns out that men are all for their own good, and Mi Xuan wants to stick out his tongue to suppress the shock.

"Forget about the female red, forget the geometry of a large acre of mulberry planting and silk production, this is what the craftsman slaves remember." Xiong Jing was no longer as serious as he was just now, and he couldn't tell if he was angry because he couldn't align people, so he turned to teach his wife a lesson.

Maybe it is, maybe it doesn't, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that Qi Xuan must wash away the tradition of Zhou etiquette that has been instilled since childhood, which is not only about himself, but also about the children of the two. In his own experience, the son must be like a mother. He loves Mi Xuan to marry her, but love is not equal to marriage, and lovers may not be good mothers, so it must be corrected now, especially the concept of listening to her.

"Xuan'er wrote it down." Seeing that the man was no longer serious, Mi Xuan showed some smiles. At the same time, doubts gathered in her heart: Doesn't the man sleep with the women in the palace, and only his own wife? If so, how do you pass on the offspring? She couldn't help but say: "The king can't spoil Xuan'er alone, there are many queens and concubines in the palace, not for anything else, only for the sake of the heirs......"

"Heir?" Xiong Jing is in the sage mode, so he has such remarks. A man is a mixture, and when he thinks with his lower body, he wishes that all the beauties in the world are his wives and concubines, and he is now thinking with his upper body.

"Yes. The king is the king of the Chu country, how, how can it" Mi Xuan lowered his head and said with happiness: "...... Only love Xuan'er alone"

"Jin Wenyan, the Zhou people are monogamous; Years ago, to the Qiang land, the Qiang people monogamy, the grassland Hu people, monogamy, the mountain Miao Yue, monogamy. Although the chief has a concubine, what is a concubine? The word concubine is a thing under punishment, and it is a slave. According to the custom of merchants, concubines sleep today, and they kill sacrifices every day. The heirs of nobles are nobles, and the heirs of slaves are slaves, and you want the descendants of widows to be slaves? ”

"Xuan'er doesn't dare." Mi Xuan was shocked in her heart, she only knew that the wives and concubines of the royal palaces of various countries had ranks, not queens, but also ladies; It's not a lady, it can also be a beauty, it's a lover, ......, I didn't expect that a man only has one wife in his heart, and the rest are all female slaves who can be killed and eaten at any time.

"The large number of ladies in the palace is political, and it is also caused by the departure of the previous kings and kings from the traditions of their ancestors, and the next generation will not be like this." Xiong Jing talked about the palace, and when he returned to Chu this time, he was going to marry Ying Nan and others, and he couldn't resist.

The Chu people were part of the Zhuxia, but the Chu people were not part of the Zhou people. Zhuxia is not only the Zhou people, but at least the Song people. 'Song' and 'Shang', these two words have different meanings in later generations, and this era is homophonic. The Song State is the Shang State, and the Song people are the merchants. It is precisely because the Chu people have such historical origins that he has so many grounds to rebel against Zhou Li.

Over time, any dynasty forgets the hadiths of its ancestors and goes against the traditions of its ancestors. Concubines were mainly young and beautiful female captives, and according to merchant tradition, captives were to be sacrificed and then eaten. The king of Shang is not, Daji is a woman from the Su tribe, and the merchant is captured, and her identity is obviously a concubine. He did not eat Daji, but pampered Daji, 'but the woman's words are used'. This 'woman', of course, will not be his old and decrepit wife, but his favored concubines.

Crowned and married, Xiong Jing couldn't help but think farther and farther, especially when it came to him. What he will do in the future will be to take advantage of the outsiders of the Chu State, remove the redundancies in the Zhou rites, and rebuild those ancient and wisdom-filled traditions.

Courage and faith are precious, and so is monogamy. There may be concubines, but concubines are concubines, they are the master's, and the master can be killed anytime and anywhere without any reason or punishment. At the same time, as long as the Chu woman is the daughter of a soldier, it is forbidden to be the concubine of others, and it is also forbidden to be a concubine. The concubine is a female prisoner, the wife and daughter of the defeated, the Chu army is invincible, how can a Chu woman be a concubine?

The biggest weakness of the Chu people is that there are too few surnames, but the sons born by the concubines - the sons are like the mother, and the result is that there are more children, 99% of which are slaves. If the heir is not born by a lowly concubine, but by a noble woman, then how can the heir not be servile if the mother is servile with the dignity of a nobleman? There is a lot of servility in Mi Xuan, which is why he carefully taught her to abandon these servilities.

On the way back to the camp, Xiong Jing did not shy away from riding a horse with Mi Xuan and accepting the military salutes of the generals along the way. He believed that when he returned to the Chu Kingdom, Mi Xuan would be able to ride side by side with him. She also had to learn swordsmanship, be able to shoot weak bows, and most importantly, be able to kill. This is the wife he wants—in addition to the pair of jade legs that fascinate him, she must also be a truly fearless nobleman.

Polygamous husbands share the paradox of the ruler: the ruler believes that his subjects must be humble and submit to him, but he must resist the enemy to the death. But he didn't know that since his subjects could submit to him, they would naturally be able to submit to another master. What's the difference? There is no difference. Maybe the new master will give more rewards for the sake of the united front;

The husband demands that his wife be humble and submit to him, but he wants her to give birth to a son who is wise and brave and will inherit the family business in the future. How is this possible? Only a wise and brave mother can give birth to a bright and brave offspring. If the mother was a wise and courageous woman, why did she submit to her husband on her knees and not object to him marrying a second wife?

The state of Chu is composed of countless Chu people, the Chu people are intelligent, the Chu country is naturally intelligent, the Chu people are brave and the Chu country is naturally brave. To ensure the character of the Chu people, it is necessary to ensure the character of the mother; In order to ensure the character of the mother, it is necessary to restore the tradition of monogamy during the practice of the Chu people, reiterate the tradition of 'not taking concubines as wives' like the Cai Qiu Huimeng of Qi Huan, and at the same time change the thinking of Chu women, or at least Chu noble women, and remove their servility. It's going to be a systems project.

"Tell the king," Xiong Jing had not yet entered the account, and Zhuang Wudi greeted him. "All the generals, all the generals think ......"

"Why?" Xiong Jing asked, guessing the result.

"The people will take counsel and think, that whatever comes, they will chase it away." Zhuang is not authentic. "If not, why save Qi?"

"How is Sima Shang?" Xiong Jing sneered and asked about Sima Shang.

"General Sima," Zhuang Wudi looked at Xiong Jing and said, "The Qi people promised him to help Zhao restore the country one day, and General Sima Yun also." ”

"Hmph." Xiong Jing soon entered the shogunate, and everyone was there. Tian He and the others didn't pay attention to Mi Xuan before, but now that they inquired, they naturally noticed it, and after bowing to Xiong Jing, he hurriedly saluted Mi Xuan. "I've seen Mrs. Xuan."

Mi Xuan was about to return the salute, but Xiong Jing stopped him and said, "This is Mi Nu Gongzi, why is she called Mrs. Xuan?" ”

"This ......" Tian He's ass slapped on the horse's feet, stunned again and again.

"The title of the public is not accurate." Xiong Jing said in a loud voice: "This young man." ”

Including Mi Xuan, the generals, strategists and Tian He were also surprised, and everyone saluted Mi Xuan again, which was the shallowest earth, which was actually an apology for saying the wrong name. According to their identity, they don't need to salute Mi Xuan, the status of the son-in-law is not high, it should be Mi Xuan who salutes them.
