Chapter 33: You can wear a green robe. Is it also an official?
The essential difference between modern marriage and ancient marriage is that it is compatible with emotional and material factors, and the emotional factor is greater than the material factor, which has become the main driving force for courting a wife. In addition, under the equality of all people, men and women are also more equal.
Although material factors such as family background, income status, and whether or not housework can be taken into account, if the problems and contradictions are not too acute, they can generally be run-in.
But if there are three longs and two shorts in the emotional factor, then absolutely do not rub the sand, and everyone insists on finding someone who loves and loves themselves.
In ancient times, however, marriage was not meant to be so.
If the division of labor can improve efficiency and is a symbol of human progress, then the way modern men ask for wives can be regarded as a regression.
Because, in the past, women's material factors and emotional factors were distinct and did not interfere with each other. Therefore, women are also generally divided into two different systems.
On the one hand, whether in ancient Greece or ancient China, the general function of the eldest wife of the main house is to expand the family business through marriage, pass on the family lineage, preside over the family, and occasionally have her husband's affection.
Therefore, when looking for a big wife, the most important factor is naturally her background, fertility, ability to run a family, and political reasons, etc., and feelings are not considered at all.
However, men in ancient times also had a need for affection.
Therefore, various dynasties have opened up another system to meet the needs of feelings: men are allowed to take concubines, and at the same time, men are allowed to go to Qinglou from time to time to spend a little.
Whether it is a concubine or a **, the first thing that is provided for men is the body, and the second is the spirit. And in many cases, spiritual satisfaction even outweighs physical needs, so there are many love stories of famous prostitutes and talented people in ancient China.
However, this kind of love is twisted and comes at a price.
The standard of marriage in ancient China was "the right match", from the beginning of the prohibition of marriage between nobles and commoners, to slowly evolved into "good and lowly do not marry".
The so-called "good and lowly do not marry" means that under the feudal hierarchy, the identity or occupation of a certain type of person will be discriminated against, and the household registration will be classified as "lowly status", such as prostitutes, slaves, etc.
A person with a clean net worth cannot marry a "lowly" person, otherwise he will be punished criminally. Of course, "good and low" refers to "marrying a wife", not "taking a concubine".
However, the emperor was more bitter on this point.
Because, any woman in the emperor's compilation can be regarded as the mother of the country, or half of the mother of the country. Therefore, even if she is a little wife for the emperor, she will become half of the mother of the country.
This is absolutely not allowed in the etiquette law, so the emperor wants to marry a famous prostitute into the palace, which is a dream.
Therefore, Zhu Zilong recalled it throughout thousands of years of Chinese history. Have you ever seen the emperor forcibly marry his younger brother or son's wife, and seen the widow and wife occupying widows and wives, have you ever seen how many times the emperor justifiably married ** into the palace?
This is almost none, even if there are so many times, most of them are not right, they are the product of a special period, and they cannot be counted.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of civil officials was so strong that it was common to scold the emperor in front of him and spit directly in the emperor's face. In this case, Zhu Zilong's cheap emperor father killed him, and he didn't dare to take Master Li into the palace.
Therefore, knowing that Master Li is in the Qinglou every day, he may make other men green at any time. Daojun Emperor Song Huizong can only admit it!
-
I have to say that the drug that Zhu Zilong gave people last night was too ruthless.
Wait until the girls who deceived the kidnappers sent the forbidden soldiers and horses to Kaifeng Mansion, and then turned back. It's noon, and the nuns haven't woken up one by one!
So, Zhu Zilong put one of the letters that Fu'an found the Taoist temple host, the leader of the thieves, and the same sect back and forth in the abbot's room, and inserted a knife on it.
By implication, awakened Lord, we all know about you. If you go out and talk nonsense, we won't be polite.
Later, after seeing that Tofu Shih Tzu Li Sanniang was also sent back to Kaifeng City, Zhu Zilong and Gao Yanei were escorted by a group of younger brothers to return to Kaifeng Mansion in a carriage.
Wang Dutou, who was accompanied by him, quietly talked to the other officials while looking around.
"Yesterday, such a big case happened under the jurisdiction of Xicheng, but I'm afraid that we and the adults will probably not be able to get rid of some relationship...... I've heard that, according to the account books of the gangsters, they have been coming and going in this temple for many years. I think we can only avoid trouble if we are attached to the prince and Gao Yan. What should I do with this closed article in a while, I don't need to teach you, right? ”
The deputy head of the capital wanted to agree repeatedly, but after thinking about it, he added in a low voice: "Dutou, if we go around to publicize the merits of the prince and the ya, I am afraid that the remnants of the bandits will find them for revenge." However, if we hide it in the report, and we are afraid that the prince and the yagnai will be displeased, do you look at this, do you ask for instructions? ”
Wang Dutou was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "First draft two closing documents, and then let me take a blank one, and let me send it to the carriage of the prince and the yamen in triplicate." After listening to the reply, make a plan. In addition, you hurried to make the people rush back to the house last night, and they should be about to reply, and so on. ”
"Yes......"
Sure enough, just when the deputy capital head was writing the paperwork. In the direction of Kaifeng City, a yamen clerk is coming over quickly!
After meeting Wang Dutou and others, he first talked about it and listened to his opinions. The clerk took out the object in his arms directly. But it's a few new documents and government letters!
He said secretly to Wang Dutou: "Lord Zhizhou has already written the case file, and in the case file, I ask you to be treated as a ninth grade, and the court will discount it, and it can also be a ninth grade." This matter is related to the official family and the Taoist temple, and some people above said that in order not to ruin the reputation of Taoism. At the same time, in order to gag the mouths of all participants, don't let them talk nonsense. There are great rewards! ”
The secretary solemnly admonished again: "I'll tell you the truth, after cracking such a big abduction gang, the rich businessmen in the city can't help but breathe a sigh of relief for the safety of their children." When this matter is reported, as long as the part that should not be said is not said, the official rewards are indispensable in the government, and the wealthy merchants in the city will more or less reward the officials who remove the hidden dangers for them, so in this matter, the money is even more indispensable. ”
"There were some gentlemen here - it doesn't matter, let them report their names and surnames. The Fuzun can promise them help in the state exam, so that they can easily pass the state exam and become lifters, as long as they clamp their mouths tightly......"
When the secretary said this, all the officials were overjoyed. Wang Dutou was even more able to be an official, and this big pie was stunned!
"Ah, a blessing in disguise. Mother, we can wear green robes from now on. Is it also an official? ”
The low-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty wore green robes, while the officials wore silk robes. There is a huge gap between officials and officials, and most officials cannot become officials after a lifetime of struggle.
Occasionally, a clerk enjoys the rank and becomes an official, and that is simply a lightning strike, or something like the odds of winning the 5 million jackpot in the 21st century.
