Chapter 28: The Marriage Is Done
When Han Wei walked away, Zhao Jie talked eloquently: "Since the Qin State Shang Yang changed the law, the Qin State has repeatedly sent troops to the east, destroying the city and seizing the people, and there is no disadvantage. In the past, those who faced the blade of the Qin State, the Wei State; Today, the one who faces the blade of the Qin State, South Korea also. The goodwill of Han and Zhao is actually to use the people's and material resources of South Korea to rebuild a complete defense line in northern Xinjiang, and as for the life or death of South Korea, it has nothing to do with our Zhao State. But if Han and Zhao marry, Zhao will have to be tied to the Korean chariot, and use his own strength to protect Korea from destruction, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
"I think: Shangdang * Pingyang Defense Line is the complete defense line of Northern Xinjiang in your mouth!" Zhao Dan said when he heard this. Zhao Jie nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then according to your words, aren't the 30,000 Zhao troops sent to Xinzheng an outcast?" Zhao Dan continued to ask in shock when he heard this.
Zhao Jie nodded again when he heard this, and then said: "Those who achieve great things must be sacrificed. Without the sacrifices of these people, how could South Korea be trusted? ”
Zhao Jie paused and continued: "Of course, you can't completely regard them as outcasts, the envoys of Zhao in Xinzheng will bring them back to Zhao as much as possible!" ”
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think too highly of the Qin State, thinking that Korea is also a powerful country in the world, how can it be easily destroyed by the Qin State. According to the following opinion, instead of using it, it is better to unite it, unite with the power of Han and Zhao, and jointly resist the strong Qin, I think the Qin State will definitely have some scruples. As soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, Yan Ju's voice sounded again.
"What do you know......" Zhao Jie wanted to refute Yan Ju, but his voice was interrupted by Zhao Weihou: "I think Yan Qing's idea is good, in the last few wars between Qin and Zhao, didn't my Zhao State win, I don't think Qin State is not very strong!" Besides, 30,000 people can not be abandoned lightly, Jie'er, you are too Meng Lang, learn more from the ministers, don't always be whimsical. ”
Zhao Weihou's status determines her qualifications to make a decision, even Zhao Dan can't oppose it openly, helplessly, Zhao Jie can only retreat to the banquet, secretly sad.
At this point, the outcome of the marriage proposal is obvious: with the support of Empress Zhao Wei and the later faction, as well as the clan faction, Sister Han Wang successfully gained a place in King Zhao's harem, just waiting to be sent to Handan, held a wedding, and married into the royal family.
In the Prince's Mansion, since the court meeting to discuss marriage, Zhao Jie has been thinking about ways to demolish this marriage all the time.
"Yeonjing, Prince Ben sent someone to assassinate the Korean princess of Na Raoshizi, what do you say?" Zhao Jie said to his personal maid Yanjing.
"Your Highness, please be careful!" Yanjing said in shock when she heard this.
"It's a pity that Zhao Wei is still in Chu State and hasn't come back!" I don't know if I heard Yanjing's words, Zhao Jie continued to muttered to himself: "There is no one who can use it!" ”
After a while, Zhao Jie said again: "Yanjing, you say, how about sending some people from the rivers and lakes to obstruct the convoy of the Korean princess?" ”
Zhao Jie paused, and then continued: "Once the Korean princess misses the chosen date of arrival in Handan, the wedding will inevitably be postponed, so I can have enough time to make arrangements. ”
Yan Jing was stunned again when she heard this, and then said worriedly: "Your Highness, that is the Korean princess, her itinerary must have been properly arranged in advance, and her convoy must be protected by hundreds of soldiers, how can a group of simple gangsters easily hinder it." ”
"Yes! How easy it would be! Zhao Jie's expression darkened, and he said lightly.
As soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, Yan Jing continued: "Your Highness, I thought you were too worried. Your mother is now the mother of the Zhao Kingdom, even if the Korean princess marries, her status will definitely be slightly inferior, why should she be so close to the enemy? ”
Zhao Jie was stunned when he heard this, then sighed and said, "You don't understand!" You don't understand! ”
In ancient times, human beings gradually formed a home from nest dwelling to house dwelling, and had the definition of home. In the Warring States period, it was generally believed that after having a home, there would be a husband and wife, and after having a couple, there would be marriage. The "Book of Rites" makes a perfect explanation of marriage: it is good to combine the two surnames, the upper is to worship the temple, and the lower is to inherit the future generations. For everyone in the world, marriage is a must, and no one is exempt.
After the existence of marriage, there must be the institution of marriage. After a chaotic hybrid primitive society, natural selection determined the marriage system of early human civilization - monogamy and polygonal concubinage, which was finally established in the Xia and Shang periods. Since then, the imperial court of all dynasties has strict regulations on the concubines of the princes, and the status of concubines is very low in the family. The wife can punish the concubine at will, and she can sell the concubine without the husband's consent, and the concubine's status is not as good as that of a maid.
This is the simple concept of marriage in the eyes of Yanjing and most ordinary people: a wife is greater than a concubine.
Obviously, what they don't know is that the king is missing in this system, and for the king, a concubine with an extraordinary status can obviously impact the queen's status. Just like today's Zhao Kingdom, if Sister Han Wang marries into Zhao Kingdom, it is obvious that she can impact the status of Zhao Jie's mother and queen.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Jie will say that Yanjing does not understand, and he will naturally express his disgust at the marriage of Han Zhao.
What to do? No one dares to help him in this kind of thing, no one can help him.
In the following months, Zhao Jie repeatedly brought up the old matter, wanting to destroy the marriage, but several times it was quietly resolved by the clan faction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In August of the first year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Jie was unexpectedly summoned to the palace by his mother.
"My son! That's all there is to the marriage! You and my mother and son will depend on each other for their lives from now on, but it's good! Mother Zhao Li said sadly.
"But......" Zhao Jie wanted to say something, but his words were interrupted by his mother.
"Look at who else is helping us in the Manchu Dynasty now! Except for your uncle's faction! Mother continued.
"Mother, your son will not let your position be threatened, you believe in your son, and your son will definitely protect you and your sister!" Zhao Jie said confidently.
"My good boy, my mother knows your filial piety, but let this matter be over! Now that your father can't protect you anymore, it's safer for you to cause less trouble. As long as you and your sister spend your life in peace, your mother will die now, and you will have no regrets! The mother said excitedly with tears in her eyes.
"Is it grandmother who is stressing you out?" Zhao Jie was also infected, with tears in his eyes, and continued to ask a little unwillingly.
