Chapter 32: Marriage

When they got up the next day, Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui got up. Shi Bufan plans to go out to play with Qin Jiarui today, anyway, today is the day of rest, and he can accompany his future wife to play. After all, after getting married in the future, there must always be some romance, right? And last night, Qin Jiarui had just started to experience personnel, and he wanted to appease her, so that she could truly go through this sharp change in life, especially after just experiencing this sharp change in life, and she must deal with her mentality well.

Under Qin Jiarui's service, Shi Bufan dressed safely and prepared to leave. However, at this time, someone suddenly came to visit. When Shi Bufan saw this person, he was really surprised, obviously he didn't expect this person to come to visit suddenly.

"Dugu Shanggong, what kind of wind blew you here?" Shi Bufan asked.

This person is Dugu Shanggong, Shi Bufan doesn't know how this Dugu Shanggong suddenly came to the capital house, this is really "Pengsheng"! After all, this is Shangguan coming to visit, and Shi Bufan doesn't dare to slack off. Although Dugu Shanggong is a female official, she is also a five-grade official, and this female official is also included in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court, and she enjoys the corresponding official treatment, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a Shangguan. However, Shi Bufan really couldn't imagine that something actually asked Dugu Shanggong to come over in person.

Qin Jiarui was also a little nervous, obviously not expecting another woman to come over. Qin Jiarui can be regarded as having read books and learned some history books, and she knows that Shanggong is an official position in charge of palace affairs, and her status is very high. It was respected even inside and outside the imperial court. It was also the first time she had seen such a high-grade official, so she also felt nervous.

However, Dugu Shanggong saw Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui together, then frowned, and took the initiative to sniff the smell of the air in the house.

"You had that kind of ...... at home last night" Dugu Shanggong wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Qin Jiarui was a little embarrassed, obviously blushing.

However, Shi Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, can't you?" Miss Qin and I are getting married! ”

"Married?" Dugu Shanggong frowned again.

"What? Is there a problem? Could it be that Dugu Shanggong still cares about this? Shi Bufan joked.

Dugu Shanggong finally said: "I really have to take care of this matter!" This is the emperor's order, please take the order from the school secretary of the Bunkan. ”

"The Emperor's Decree?" Shi Bufan's face suddenly changed, he was about to receive the order, this was given by the emperor!

Shi Bufan feels unreasonable, he is a nine-grade petty official who actually has to take over the order? Moreover, this order is actually an order used by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty on a daily basis, and during the Tang Dynasty, all orders related to major national events were called "edicts", and the daily appointment and dismissal of officials, and some small things were called "systems". But even if the "system" is a trivial matter, it is also issued by the emperor himself, and the status is not ordinary. Moreover, the decree must be approved by the ministry before it can be issued, and then it can be implemented. However, there is obviously something wrong with this order, if it has been deliberated by the Menxia Province, it should not be issued by the female official of Dugu Shanggong, it should be issued by an ordinary official!

Dugu Shanggong obviously knew Shi Bufan's doubts, and then said: "This is a consolation book!" ”

Only then did Shi Bufan understand that this was a consolation book, which was ordered by the emperor, so it was not necessarily deliberated through the province, as long as the emperor could afford it, it didn't matter.

"Then why do you need Dugu Shanggong to convey it? Isn't that the duty of your subordinates? Do you need to be personally responsible? Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

However, Dugu Shanggong hurriedly explained: "This is what I specially want to come!" ”

"What do you want to convey in person from Dugu Shanggong? Does it have something to do with Dugu Shanggong? Shi Bufan said indifferently, anyway, since he knew that it was a consolation book, he would not be afraid of any accidents, so he was also a little "presumptuous".

However, Dugu Shanggong officially said again: "Okay, please officially accept the emperor's book!" ”

Shi Bufan immediately took the initiative to listen, but he didn't have to kneel, after all, this was not an official court. In the Tang Dynasty, the ritual of kneeling was only used in very few cases, that is, in the half-monthly pilgrimage, but it was only one kneeling and bowing, and it was not as complicated as three kneeling and nine knocking. As for the ordinary acceptance of the book, it is enough to directly bend down slightly and obey it.

"The system said: 'Shuwenkan School Scholar is extraordinary, erudite and talented, and honors his parents......'"

When Shi Bufan heard this, he also blushed a little, because these were gold on his face. However, Shi Bufan also knows these bad things, in fact, these bad things are nothing more than putting gold on his face, after all, even if the leaders of later generations want to praise a certain person, they will not say anything about his past troubles. On the contrary, under this Chinese tradition, the leader wants to praise, and no one will take care of the bad things in the past, but he must put gold on his face, so that everyone can feel that this person's behavior is better than what the emperor said. In fact, what is this, what is it, what is erudite and talented, filial piety to parents, this Shi Bufan of course understands what is going on with his "predecessor", it is impossible to be erudite and talented, at most it is literate. Honoring your parents? In less than half a year after the death of his parents, he lost all his property, this is called honoring his parents?

But that's the case, as long as the emperor wants to praise him, he can do it, and if he can't, he can do it. Say you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it. Anyway, it is relying on the emperor's broken mouth, whether you are a good person or a bad person depends on what the person in power says.

After a series of long speeches, Dugu Shanggong finally said the most important place.

"Specially married to the daughter of Dugu Kaiyuan, the general of the Left Guard, and Dugu Daxue of the Shanggong Bureau of the Tang Dynasty as his wife, hoping to guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

When Shi Bufan heard this book, he was immediately confused. And that Qin Jiarui was also shocked, they didn't expect this book to be like this. Originally, Shi Bufan thought that these so-called consolation books were just a so-called gift of some wealth or honorary titles, but he didn't expect that it was actually a marriage? Moreover, the marriage partner is actually the Dugu Shanggong in front of her, and according to what she said before, her name is Dugu Daxue. But at this time, it is really troublesome.

If the marriage had been given a month or two earlier, it might have been resolved. But now at this time, isn't this an extraordinary old life? I just agreed to get married to Qin Jiarui, but now I actually came to this marriage drama right away? To say that in fact, Dugu Shanggong is not bad, if the marriage was given a few months ago, it would be okay to accept it at that time. But now that the marriage is given, it makes Shi Bufan really look in the mirror - he is not a person inside and out.

The emperor did not dare to accept the order of marriage, that is, he had to marry this Dugu Shanggong. But Shi Bufan also thought that it was impossible for him and this Dugu Daxue, who was the daughter of Dugu Kaiyuan, the general of the Left Guard, and was still the Wupin Shang Palace of the Tang Dynasty. If it's just an ordinary palace maid, then there may still be hope, but Wupin Shang Palace, this is not something that can be pondered casually at all.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty, Wupin officials were a huge dividing line, and when they reached Wupin, they belonged to the ranks of high-ranking officials, and their power was almost no less than that of provincial and ministerial-level cadres in later generations. Although there were first- and second-grade officials in the Tang Dynasty, most of the first- and second-grade officials were fictitious and had no real power. The real power is the Sanpin official, that is, the Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province and the servant of Menxia Province, and the left and right servants of Shangshu Province are considered to have real power. And wanting a fifth-grade official to marry a ninth-grade official is almost impossible under the strict hierarchy in ancient times.

It's like if a beautiful provincial and ministerial-level official in later generations marries a small section chief, you see that this will also make people feel incredible. After all, the idea of being the right person was deeply ingrained in ancient times, and even later generations could not completely eliminate it. However, Shi Bufan really didn't expect that the emperor actually issued this book, so that Shi Bufan was really sitting on wax.

Shi Bufan's brain is spinning rapidly, which is really troublesome. I just planned to get engaged to Qin Jiarui, but now I actually have such a marriage? And the marriage is still so incredible, is it really a headache for Shi Bufan? What will the court officials think of themselves at that time? How does future history see itself? When the time comes, I can't tell all over my mouth. At that time, others may think that they abandoned their wives and went to climb high branches? After all, Chen Shimei's story has also been passed down for many years. Although Chen Shimei's story has been reorganized, the real Chen Shimei is not like this. But if this story can be circulated, it is enough to show that people in the world, whether they are men or women, hate those men who are unfortunate.

But this marriage edict is stuck at this time, doesn't this make Shi Bufan feel a lot of pressure? If it's a little bit wrong, I'm afraid it's really going to be troublesome.

The three of them at the scene were suddenly speechless, and Shi Bufan was worried about his future reputation in the Tang Dynasty and his guilt for Qin Jiarui. But Qin Jiarui was completely blinded, and had just decided to get engaged to Shi Bufan, but now there is nothing but this kind of thing? The emperor actually gave him a marriage, and the object was still a five-grade Shang Palace. According to the ancient imperial power, the emperor must accept the marriage, as long as you are not married or engaged, you must also accept.

But now Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui happen to be not engaged, you must know that engagement in ancient times was not so easy, and engagement in ancient times also required legal procedures, not that engagement is also engagement. You must go to the government to ask the government to make a document as a witness, and then this will have legal effect, otherwise the court will not recognize it. But Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui were just about to go through this document, and as a result, the marriage book came.

It's embarrassing, and if you want to talk about legal engagement procedures, they don't have it at all. Therefore, in the absence of legal procedures, this document must be implemented. If you get engaged earlier, even if it's just a day earlier, it can make the book ineffective. But it's just such a day, and it's just a day away, and there is no way to get engaged.

As for that Dugu Daxue, his heart is also very complicated. To say that she was given to marry, in fact, she didn't want it either. At least she didn't think that she would marry Shi Bufan, a nine-grade petty official. It is said that she is a five-grade female official, and she is also the Shang Palace who manages the Shang Palace Bureau, and she has a cousin relationship with the Li Tang Dynasty, so she is almost the third in real power in the Tang Dynasty harem, second only to Emperor Li Yuan and Wan Guifei. Li Yuan did not make an empress, and the so-called Empress Dou had already died many years before she ascended the throne. Therefore, the affairs in the palace are also managed by Wan Guifei, and Dugu Shanggong is the actual executor, and even those low-grade concubines dare not offend her, Dugu Shanggong.

But she was actually married to a nine-grade petty official, which really made her speechless. In fact, Dugu Daxue's impression of Shi Bufan is only very ordinary, and it can only be said that he has a slight favorite. But having a slight favor does not mean liking and love, so that Dugu Daxue is extraordinary when she marries, it is obviously an out-and-out "marriage".

However, Dugu Daxue also probably knows that in fact, I am afraid that there are many political factors in it. As the emperor, Li Yuan hopes to be a typical scribe and a typical of a poor family. At present, the composition of the scholar clan in the Tang Dynasty officialdom is too high, and the proportion of officials from the scholar clan is too high, which is not conducive to Li Yuan's rule. Therefore, Li Yuan hopes to erect a model of a poor official, and then let the poor people see hope. And this typical, the person Li Yuan thinks is more suitable at present, is Shi Bufan. Because Shi Bufan is erudite and talented, and he is responsible for teaching the descendants of those royal families and scholars, so even if it is a royal family and scholars, it is much easier to accept, after all, as a teacher of his children's descendants, it is much easier to accept, after all, everyone owes Shi Bufan a small favor, so everyone can acquiesce to Shi Bufan.

All things considered, so at present, only Shi Bufan is more suitable for tree typical. Therefore, Li Yuan plans to erect a model, and the best way is to give marriage. Anyway, Shi Bufan is not very old, and he has not married. Originally, Li Yuan still wanted to make Princess Shi Bufan Shang impulsively, but later when he was proposed by Dugu Daxue, Shi Bufan's credit was not enough, and he was not a descendant of a meritorious hero, so he was not enough to Princess Shang. But Dugu Daxue killed himself, and actually proposed to give a marriage to a relative's daughter to Shi Bufan, which was really embarrassing, and he actually dug a pit and jumped by himself. Li Yuan actually chose Dugu Daxue for that "relative's daughter", so Dugu Daxue is really an out-and-out suicide.

In short, for many reasons, Li Yuan planned to make Shi Bufan out of the model, which led to this marriage book.

And now Dugu Daxue seems to find that he has nothing to say, after all, he has not established a husband and wife relationship before, and it doesn't matter what they say between them. But now that the relationship between husband and wife has been established, Dugu Daxue finds that he doesn't seem to have anything to talk about, after all, they are not familiar with each other as "husband and wife". They used to talk mainly about business, and they didn't have any personal friendships. Therefore, now Dugu Daxue is also very embarrassed, what topic is good for Shi Bufan? Speaking of business, now that they are in recuperation, and it is too rusty for husband and wife to talk about business at such a time? and talk about personal friendships, but there doesn't seem to be any personal friendship between them, so there is no way to talk about it.

As a result, the three of them all had their own ideas, and everyone suddenly had nothing to say.
