Chapter 26: Marriage

Two seventeen-year-old honorable soldiers, full of dreams and the experience of life and death on the battlefield, nothing can really make them afraid, and nothing will make them feel that they can't do it. Compared to them, where everything is possible, the feudal monarchs in Yingdu City felt that the sky had fallen overnight, and they felt that it was a complete mistake to 'support' Xiong Jing as the crown prince in the first place.

Chunshenjun Huang Xie is the commander of Yin, and likes to replace the feudal monarch and the hereditary Duke Yin with travelers and officials, but due to the national conditions of the Chu State, the implementation of officialdom is mostly in Ludi, Song and Wudi, and the feudal monarchs will not be able to reap the benefits; After Xiong Jing ascended the throne, they hoped that Xiong Jing could remove all the officials and hand over the county to them, or attack the hereditary Yin Gong and hand over the county of the old man's clan to them, and the result was ......

The officials were really withdrawn, but it was the honorable people who took over; Instead of punishing him, the old family of the king of Buqin was pardoned, and not only was he pardoned, but he contracted the county to them. It is said to be contracting, but in fact it is sub-packing. After such a toss, they still led Gu Lu to eat idle food, and they didn't catch anything.

"Your Majesty, we are loyal to the king, how can the king be, how can the king ......" In Luyangjun's mansion, Ji Lingjun was crying with a group of feudal monarchs. Like that day, he felt that his people had been abandoned by the king, and his heart was full of grievances.

"Your Majesty, the old husband has long been plotting rebellion against the king, and the king is contracting, and disaster is also good!" An Lingjun shouted.

A bunch of Fengjun complained like a woman, and no matter how good Lu Yangjun Lu was, he was a little impatient. These people know how to eat and drink on weekdays, and in addition, the elegant ones only love to compose poems and songs, and the vulgar ones are cockfighting dogs. Huang Xie looked down on them at the beginning, but because of the dignity of the king and the princes, he had to give them Gu Lu every year.

"Your Majesty, why didn't the king cure them for the crime of not being diligent with the king?" Ji Fujun was calmer, and there was less complaint in his tone.

"Why?" Lu Yangjun smiled bitterly. "After three years of fierce fighting, Gaofu Jigu has been eaten up; After three years of fierce warfare, the gold and silver of Dafu have been exhausted; After three years of fierce fighting, the soldiers were exhausted. But the war continued, the Qin army did not retreat, and if you want to stop the war, you can only fight again, and then defeat the Qin people before you can stop the war. What if they are not forgiven? ”

"The valley of Gaofu is exhausted, but the grain is imported by the Qi country; The mansion is full of gold, and then the mansion is made into gold; The soldiers were tired, but our Chu division won more with less, and defeated the Qin army in a row. This ......" Ji Fujun was still puzzled, he had not cared about the county for many years.

"Qi only transports military rations, do you know what the price of grain is in the market today?" Lu Yangjun asked rhetorically. "Building a house is indeed a daily increase in gold, but there is a lot of gold but no food, so everyone can't eat gold, right? The soldiers can indeed fight again, but what if the Chu army is defeated and the whole army is exhausted? ”

Lu Yangjun asked rhetorically, and Ji Fujun was speechless. Lu Yangjun said again: "The king is not inconsiderate of you and others, but what do you do on weekdays?" Last year, I asked you to wait for the construction of the private pawn, do you wait for the construction? Last year, I want you to wait for yourself to go to Jiangdong to open up wasteland, do you wait? ”

"I'll wait for ......" The feudal monarchs were dumbfounded, these two things had been proposed, but Yingdu was so comfortable, who was willing to go to the barbarian land of Jiangdong to open up a wasteland? The pit viper is full of nine heads, the nine heads of the male dragon, the Jiangdong barbarian carving theme is black teeth, the human flesh is worshipped, and the bone is the body, and the whole body is hairy when you think about it; Although he has no worries about food and clothing, in order to save money, there are only subordinates and subordinates in the house, and he raises so many armor soldiers, how much money can he have left?

"From next year onwards," Lu Yangjun said bluntly, "The king will no longer send you Gu Lu." ”

"Ahh The feudal monarchs almost fell, but they rushed up and pulled Lu Yangjun's sleeve and said, "How can this be? How so? How can the king be unfaithful! ”

"How is the king untrustworthy?" Lu Yangjun disdainful, "Don't send Gu Lu, only send pawns, farm tools, seeds, and a piece of Jiangdong land." You wait for millet to eat and fight cocks, so go and plant it yourself. ”

"Your Majesty!" There was a cry, and Ji Lingjun was furious. "Who is harming us? I'm desperate ......"

"No one harms you." Lu Yangjun said. "The same is true for the old man, and the same is true for Qu Jingzhaosan. However, in the end, it is a big family, the king has sealed the Zhao clan in Yuhang, the Qu clan in Fuchun, and the Jing clan in Wucheng, and each clan has awarded 10,000 people. ”

"Why can they seal the city, and we can only get the wasteland?" Shooting Gao Jun was unwilling.

"What is the difference between a city and a wasteland in the land of Jiangdong?" Lu Yangjun laughed. "The so-called city is nothing more than an earthen city, and there are only 100 families living in it. To this day, I don't know why you still complain? The Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans are such a big family, and they have also sent matchmakers to Jiangdong to recruit sons-in-law. Last year, Wu Yuanjun said that he was a dead wife, and the three clans wanted to marry him, so that he could gain a foothold in Yuedi in the future.

If you have a daughter at home, why don't you also send a matchmaker to Jiangdong, and you can take care of yourself in the future. Even if there is no Yue person, you can also marry a good person. Honorable soldiers all have a place, and there are armor soldiers under their command. ”

"Your Majesty, there are many people with honors, how can they marry each other with the same surname?" It has become a trend for women to marry honored scholars, especially those businessmen, who are even more proud of their sons-in-law. Now the reputation is divided into Lu, the status is higher, the person who comes to the door to say that the matchmaker is stepping on the threshold, but it is a pity that the reputation of the grandson family, everyone is surnamed Mi, how can they marry.

"Have you read today's paper?" Lu Yangjun shook out a piece of yesterday's Da Chu news. Doctor Yin Yuli thought that according to his research for more than 40 years, marrying after three generations with the same surname is not harmful to reproduction. Therefore, he wrote yesterday to ask the king to abolish the prohibition of not marrying with the same surname, as long as it is proved that the same surname is three generations away, he can marry. ”

On the front page of the headlines of Dachu News, there was the "Book of Unmarried Advice with the Same Surname" that could be disemboweled, take blood to continue his life, and was called a miracle doctor by the soldiers. For the aristocracy, marriage was politics. Once this edict is approved by the king, the aftermath will be endless. All in all, marriages with the same surname are detrimental to the royal family and beneficial to the Gong family, because once the Gong family marries closely, a larger political group will inevitably be formed to oppose the royal power of Yingdu.

The feudal lords didn't say anything more, the king had made up his mind, he had no money, no soldiers, no land, so he could only go with the flow and let the king arrange. A family with a daughter may be able to marry a good son-in-law, relying on a son-in-law or in-laws to support the family business that has been weakened to the extreme, and a family without a daughter can really only go to Jiangdong to open up wasteland, even if it is to build a private pawn, it is necessary to have land.

The sun in May was already vicious, and Ji Lingjun was still a little confused when he left Luyang Jun's mansion, he really didn't understand how his people were abandoned by the king. Isn't loyalty important? Does the old man have his own loyalty? Why would the king pardon his old man's family, take this opportunity to lock them all up, and then send his own loyal people to take over those counties?

Thinking about it, he felt more and more that the king's strategy was a big mistake. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion in the southeast of the city, he bought and asked the royal hand to turn the head of the chariot to the palace, and he wanted to meet the king. Although the carriage was four-wheeled, the cart was indeed two oxen. I don't know what's going on with this cow, and no matter how much you spur your hand, you can't turn this corner. Ji Lingjun was almost stunned when the carriage advanced and retreated, so he had to let Yushou go back to his house - since Niu didn't go, he was afraid that it would be unlucky for him to go to admonish.

"Madam, look," on Ji Lingjun's mansion, the matchmaker in flower shoes opened a piece of Chu paper full of names, and said to Mrs. Ji with a smile: "These are uncrowned honorable nobles." ”

"Uncrowned?" Mrs. Ji was originally a concubine, and after the death of her wife, she gave birth to a son, and Fuzheng became her wife. The first name on the Chu paper is Lu Gao, in addition to his family background, the paper also says that he outwitted Qi people in the battle of Jucheng and the battle of Muling, and he was only seventeen years old.

"Madame doesn't know, I have hundreds of thousands of people in Chu, and there are only 17,000 honorable people. Of the 17,000 people, half were married and unmarried, and more than half of the unmarried honored people were married, and the rest were only 3,000 or 4,000. Only five or six out of ten of these three or four thousand people were crowned, and none of the rest were crowned. If a son-in-law wants to marry a celebrity, it is appropriate to be elected as an uncrowned person. ”

The matchmaker smiled, no matter how noble the nobleman is, he must rely on people like her to marry. As soon as she arrived at Ji Lingjun's mansion, she knew that this family was not far from the downfall, but fortunately, although the female son in the family was not a flower and a moon, she was almost seven feet long, which was already a beauty. If you don't have to be a wife or marry a Chu person, you can't be a concubine of the kings of all countries with this kind of length.

"Then this is the man." did not choose Lu Gao, who was ranked first, this is the Xiao clan, and Mrs. Ji chose Qu Guo, who was in second place.

"Yes, yes." The matchmaker had guessed in his heart that Mrs. Ji would choose Gongzi Qu instead of Gongzi Lu, and the small family knew that it would look at the reputation, but they didn't know that the Qu family had heard that it had been sealed to Jiangdong, and the daughter of his own family wanted to marry the Yue people in Yuedi.

"Madam, the king has returned home." The servant stood outside the hall to pray, and after a while, he heard Ji Lingjun's voice, he was calling his daughter.

"Match, Match, Double......" Ji Lingjun's voice echoed in the hall, and Mrs. Ji had no choice but to ask the servant to send the matchmaker away, and gave her a few smaller orbs, so she hurriedly responded: "Junshang, Junshang, Pishuang is in the garden." ”

The Ji Mansion is also like the royal palace, the east hall and the west garden, but this garden is very small. When Ji Lingjun called his daughter, his baby daughter, Ji Pi, the daughter-in-law of Ji Mansion, was sweating on her forehead, and she was blowing on a pipe. The air in the lungs is blown down the tube into a glass bottle that is upside down in water, and the walls of the bottle are densely inscribed.

"Childe, add to the disease! Childe, the illness is also ...... "A few slaves hugged chickens, some held dogs, and some even hugged a small python, all cheering her up." Seeing that the water level in the glass bottle had dropped to the position of thirteen liters, the servants shouted more urgently: "Hurry! Sickness! Sickness ......"

At this time, Ji Pishuang's face was already flushed, there was only so much qi in her small lungs, the water level could only drop to the position of thirteen liters, and there was no gas in her lungs when she blew it again. But she is still unwilling, even if there is no gas in her lungs, she is unwilling to admit defeat.

"Pi Shuang ......" Ji Lingjun's voice finally reached the garden, Ji Pi's big eyes opened, and he hurriedly spit out the tube, and then pointed to the bottle tank to measure the lung qi and whispered: "Hide it quickly, hide it quickly." At the command, she hurriedly wiped her sweat, and her aura face was immediately replaced by the skillful and dignified that noblewomen often have, and then she walked with small steps and waved the accessories around her waist to meet her father.
