Chapter 74: Political Marriage
"What?! Did you ask the Guo family for me? ”
After Zhang Zhan left, Wei Shuo has been hoping that he can surprise him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Who knew that this guy went out for a spin and came back, and he had multiple 'wives' for no reason.
Now the joy is gone, and the light is left with surprise.
"That's right, my teacher Guo Yu is from a famous family and a famous Confucian in Hexi, isn't his daughter worthy of the lord?"
"It's not that I don't deserve it."
"Then why is the lord hesitating? The lord accepts Guo Nu as his wife, and marries with Guo's family, which will win the hearts of Hexi Shixin in one fell swoop, why not do it? ”
Zhang Zhan couldn't understand how Wei Shuo reacted so much after hearing the news of the marriage, shouldn't he accept it happily?
Wei Shuo, who is falling into a modern mode of thinking, simply can't accept that his marriage is manipulated by outsiders.
Seeing that Wei and Zhang were staring at each other with big eyes, Du Jin and Song Miao next to them couldn't sit idly by.
"Naoyuan, didn't you ask Zhong Xuan to make peace with the family? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why are you still pushing back? ”
"I asked him to make peace, but didn't he ask him to help me get married?"
"Isn't marriage just peace?"
"To marry is to make peace!?"
Hearing everyone say in unison that marriage is equivalent to peace, Wei Shuo was completely stunned!
It was only then that he realized that as a modern man, he had always regarded marriage as his own private affair, and outsiders had no right to interfere (except for his family).
But in the eyes of Du Jin, Song Xuan, and Zhang Zhan, the marriage of the lord has never been a private matter, but a very serious political event.
Therefore, there will be endless political marriages in history, and there is even no shortage of heroes with great talents, who rely on marriages to tide over difficulties when they are weak.
In the eyes of ancient Chinese politicians, the meaning of marriage has gone far beyond marriage itself, and has evolved into a means for them to achieve a certain political goal.
Sometimes, once an existing political marriage breaks down, it is very likely that different political groups will turn against each other and fight each other.
During the Three Kingdoms, in order to win over Lu Yibu, Yuan Shu in the north proposed to Lu Bu for his son, and sent an envoy to marry Lu Bu in the second year of Jian'an.
But Pei Xiang Chen Qi was afraid that Yuan and Lu Cheng's marriage would be unfavorable to him, so he went to talk about Lu Bu.
"Cao Gong welcomes the Son of Heaven and assists in praising the national government, and the general should coexist with the plan."
"If you marry Yuan Shu today, you will suffer the name of injustice, and you will be in danger of accumulating eggs."
Lu Bu thought so, so the situation changed suddenly in an instant: Lu Bu repented of his marriage and chased his daughter on the way!
The political marriage of Yuan and Lu was ruined, and since then the two have met each other, both defeated, and finally broken by Cao Cao.
And the most famous political marriage between monarchs and ministers in history may belong to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the general Wei Qing.
If Wei Qing hadn't relied on his sister Wei Zifu, he might not have been trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Now that the relationship between Wei Shuo and the Hexi family has broken due to the Juntian system, if you want to bridge the rift between the two sides, there is only one way to go.
What's more, the object of this marriage is still the famous Guo Yu, and in terms of his identity, once successful, the impact will be no less than that of detonating an atomic bomb.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Wei Shuo finally understood the importance of political marriage with the family.
It's just that Wei Shuo somehow suddenly thought of Mrs. Yin, if she knew that she was married, I don't know how she would feel?
"The lord doesn't have to worry that the younger sister is not beautiful, she was famous in Hexi for her beauty when she was fourteen years old."
"Many of the disciples under the teacher's command have been eyeing her, but because the junior sister has a higher vision, and non-heroic people do not marry, this has been delayed until now."
"Okay, this matter is decided, Zhong Xuan, you just have to go to Zhang Luo, the old man is in charge of everything." In the end, Du Jin made the final decision.
"Teacher, you ......"
"What do you ...... You, you, the old man looks at the little lady of the Guo family very well, no matter how she looks, talents, and family background, she is very compatible with Zhiyuan, what do you have to hesitate? ”
"Not to mention that the marriage is related to the overall situation of Hexi's stability, how can you shirk it?"
After speaking, Du Jin ignored Wei Shuo's opposition and advocated marrying the Guo family.
He even told Zhang Zhan in person that he would visit Guo's mansion in a few days, ask Guo Yu for marriage and give a dowry.
……
A few days later, Du Jin, as an elder of Wei Shuo, personally came to the door to pay a dowry to the Guo family.
Although Guo Yu was still a little unhappy in his heart, he still held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Du Jin and his party, and Zhang Zhan and Song Miao accompanied him.
Although Guo Yu is getting older, his body is still quite strong, and he looks like a talent, and he doesn't have the weakness of a scholar in Wei Shuo's impression.
And maybe he has been in the northwest wind and sand land for a long time, and the whole person looks very rough, but he has a martial arts demeanor.
He was wearing a long robe, and he behaved in a down-to-earth manner, not at all terrified by seeing Wei Shuo, who held great power.
Guo Yuan was dressed in a green dress and soap skirt, upright and elegant, hiding behind the screen, a little ashamed to see people.
The host and guest sat down, and everyone first greeted each other politely.
Wei Shuo, who had just sat down, suddenly felt something, looked up, and saw a small head poking out from behind the screen, and a pair of beautiful eyes were quietly looking at him.
When she met her eyes, the girl was like a frightened deer, and she swooped back behind the screen.
However, although it was only a glimpse, it was enough to make Wei Shuo's heart flutter.
"Yu slightly prepare wine, please Du Tingshi is not polite." Guo Yu had a good impression of Du Jin and thought that Du Jin was very talented.
At the beginning, Suo Yi led his troops to attack Dunhuang, but thanks to Du Jin's proper response, the city finally avoided the fall of Dunhuang.
If it weren't for Wei Shuo's sideways, Guo Yu would be quite willing to talk to Du Jin about wine.
"Mr. Yuan Yu, this time Du came to visit Mr. and talk about local cultural and educational matters by the way."
After listening to Du Jin's words, Guo Yu couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't it a dowry? Why did you talk about culture and education again in the blink of an eye?
His gaze couldn't help but turn to Wei Shuo, but Wei Shuo still sat there honestly, letting Du Jin speak.
Seeing Guo Yu's look uncertain, Du Jin knew that what he said just now made him suspicious, so he explained: "You and I will talk about business affairs first, and it's not too late to talk about private affairs after talking about official affairs." ”
Guo Yu smiled reluctantly, raised his wine glass, and saluted: "Lord Assassin Shi is diligent and loves the people, and the old man uses this thin wine to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and toast the Lord with a glass." ”
Du Jin smiled and raised his wine glass and drank it all, this is a strategy set before everyone came, first do what he likes, use Daxing culture and education to please Guo Yu, and wait for his mood to improve before proposing to get married, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"I wonder what the Assassin has planned?"
Guo Yu has spent most of his life teaching in the museum, in addition to having to teach in the world due to the chaos in the world, it is also related to his love of educating students.
Seeing that the Assassin Mansion intends to promote indoctrination, he is naturally eager to try.
"It's all the credit of Zhiyuan, who has always advocated the implementation of universal education to open up people's wisdom."
"Now that I have just entered Hexi, I can't wait to build schools and popularize education."
"According to Zhiyuan's proposal, a county should have at least five Mengxue halls that can accommodate about 300 people, and a primary school that can accommodate 500 people."
"And in the county or state city, there will be two additional primary schools and one higher school."
"This, this, this...... When will such ambitious plans be realized? ”
After listening to Du Jin tell the whole plan, Guo Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I think that in order to find a place to open a museum and teach apprentices, he had to dig a cave in the mountain to give lectures.
Nowadays, compared with the Taishou Mansion's largesse, it is really small and not worth mentioning.
"Anyway, it's not in a hurry, it should be a long-term plan and it will take five or ten years to complete."
"If Zhiyuan is in charge of Hexi, this plan will be carried out in an orderly manner."
Guo Yu turned his head and glanced at Wei Shuo with a complicated expression, if it weren't for his previous forced implementation of the Juntian system in Hexi, he would not hesitate to take refuge in the past with only the long-term plan for culture and education in front of him.
"What should I do?" Guo Yu lowered his head, full of worries, and was in a dilemma.
It seems that the gang in front of them is determined to win their baby daughter, otherwise they would not let themselves be in charge of cultural and educational matters.
Could it be true that as the student Zhang Zhan said, he could only bow his head to Wei Shuo?
What if you don't bow your head? You can't go east to Lu Guang, right? At the beginning, he even refused Fu Jian's invitation, would he still be able to look at Lu Guang?
At present, the world is in chaos, except for the south, the north is full of Hu Lu in power, and Confucian scholars like him have always been unpopular, and if they are unlucky, they often die for life.
I didn't expect the world to be so big that there was nowhere to go.
Thinking of this, Guo Yu couldn't help but sigh and look gloomy.
Du Jin saw that the heat was almost over, and immediately said: "I intend to set up a new position of academic administration under the Assassin Mansion, which is specifically responsible for cultural and educational affairs in Dunhuang and Jiuquan, and is fully entrusted to Mr. Yuan Yu, I wonder if Mr. Yuan Yu is willing to take over?" ”
Hearing this, Guo Yu was silent, but just listened attentively.
At this time, Wei Shuo suddenly spoke: "Sir, don't be in a hurry to agree, you can think about it slowly." ”
"This matter is very important, let me think about it." Guo Yu also knew that he couldn't make a decision for a while, so he went down the steps.
After talking about political affairs, everyone changed the topic and talked about the ups and downs, and the atmosphere at the banquet slowly relaxed.
And Guo Yu also gradually spoke more in this atmosphere, and his expression eased a lot.
"Mr. Yuan Yu, there is one more thing to ask for in the future." Du Jin said suddenly.
"Please stab Lord Shi, but it's okay to speak."
"I have an apprentice, named Wei Shuo, who is nineteen years old this year, and admires him because of the good name of the little lady who loves Guo."
"Therefore, the old man asked Mr. Yuan Yu for marriage and placed it in the main room to marry his son-in-law."
Guo Yu immediately woke up with a little bit of alcohol when he came up, looked at Du Jin who was smiling, and then looked at Wei Shuo, who was full of anticipation, and was speechless for a while.
After waiting for a long time, but Guo Yu didn't reply, Du Jin spoke again: "I don't know why Mr. is embarrassed?" My apprentice is already famous all over the world at a young age, and he has a base of thousands of miles, and he has tens of thousands of tigers, is he not worthy of love? ”
"No, no, Wei Du Hu is a hero for a while, I'm just afraid that the little girl is vulgar, I don't know the general situation, and I don't deserve to be an order."
At this time, Zhang Zhan next to him hurriedly came out and persuaded: "Sir, my lord is willing to marry you regardless of his previous suspicions, and there is another layer of meaning in it." ”
"Forced by the situation before, the family and the lord were very estranged, but the lord did not want to wipe out all the family, but hoped to live in peace with each other and turn hostility into friendship."
"Sir, you don't plan for today, but for tomorrow."
Hearing this, Guo Yu fell into deep thought again, and the student's words were not unreasonable.
In the past few days, he has carefully studied what Wei Shuo has done, and his ability to govern Hexi in an orderly manner in a short period of time shows that this person is not ordinary.
Now Wei Shuo sits on the land of the two counties of Hexi, and is assisted by Du Jin, who can fight well, and Song Xuan, who is resourceful, and his momentum has been achieved.
And Guo Yu is not incompetent and uninformed, he has already vaguely discovered that Lu Guang still has the upper hand at the moment, but in the end, he may not be able to fight Wei Shuo.
If this is the case, now that he marries his daughter to Wei Shuo, it can be regarded as leaving a way back for the Guo family.
"Please also ask Wei Duhu to treat the little girl well in the future." In the end, Guo Yu had no choice but to agree.
Wei Shuo was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Please rest assured, sir, Ling Ai is committed, and I will treat her sincerely." ”
The big event has been decided, Du Jin and others have toasted Guo Yu, Guo Yu did not refuse, one cup after another poured into the stomach, and after a while, he was drunk.
It wasn't until night fell that Wei Shuo and the others said goodbye and left.
That night, Guo Yu told her daughter Guo Yuan about agreeing to marry her daughter, but her tone was full of apologies.
Back then, he had said that he wanted his daughter Guo Yuan to choose her own husband, but today he married her without her consent, and he was quite uneasy.
Who knew that Guo Yuan didn't care about this, but persuaded his father again.
"Fang is in turmoil today, and it is at a time when heroes are emerging."
"Although my daughter is in the boudoir, I have also heard a lot of names from the guards."
"He is ambitious, ambitious, stoic, and resolute, and will achieve great things in the future."
"It's not a grievance for a daughter to marry him."
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, Guo Yu felt a little relieved.
