Chapter 126: Marriage Request (I)
Before Li Junxian left Dugu's house, he also said to Dugu Yiren: "Yiren, wait a minute, I'll give you a surprise, you have to wait at home!" "Since Li Junxian is engaged to Dugu Yiren, then you can call him by his name.
Dugu Yiren nodded, indicating that he was looking forward to this so-called surprise.
Li Junxian left Dugu's house and walked in the direction of Taiji Palace, as if he wanted to find Li Shimin for something. And after Li Junxian passed the inspection of the guards, he also entered the Taiji Palace.
"Minister Li Junxian has seen the emperor and the queen!" Li Junxian saluted.
Li Junxian found that this time it was not only Li Shimin, but even Empress Changsun was also in the Ganlu Palace, so Li Junxian hurriedly saluted Empress Changsun. And Empress Changsun also smiled at Li Junxian, indicating that she could get up.
"Jun Xian, do you have anything to do with me?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to marry your minister!" Li Junxian said.
"Oh? Marriage? Li Shimin and Empress Changsun glanced at each other.
"General Li, which young lady do you want to marry?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
"Back to the queen, the minister wants to marry the daughter of General Dugu's family, and the minister also asks His Majesty to give the minister a marriage." Li Junxian said.
Empress Eldest Sun asked, "Does Miss Dugu agree?" ”
"Chen and Miss Dugu are in love, of course they agreed." Li Junxian said.
"That's good, Your Majesty doesn't want to be this wicked person, since you two are happy!" Empress Eldest Sun said.
Empress Changsun turned her head to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, since General Li and Miss Dugu are in love, let's give marriage!" It is better to demolish a temple than to break a family, and Your Majesty will still fulfill them. ”
Li Junxian heard that Empress Changsun agreed, so this matter could probably be done. Li Shimin shouldn't embarrass himself for this matter, anyway, it is a marriage decree, which is very simple for Li Shimin. And Li Junxian also thinks that his current status is enough for Li Shimin to give him this face and give him the next marriage decree. For ordinary people, it is very rare to give marriage by holy decree, but when it comes to Li Junxian's status, as long as he has a good relationship with the emperor, most of them can be obtained.
Although the marriage decree is nothing to Li Junxian, it is very rare for Dugu Yiren. In ancient times, if a woman married by a holy decree, it would probably be a great honor for an ancient woman. The Duguyi people are also ancient people, and of course it is an honor for the holy decree to give marriage. What's more, it is possible to give marriage to the person you like, which is even rarer in the ages.
And the holy decree of marriage is also a very important guarantee for the woman. Because the power of the husband in ancient times was very great, and the status of the wife was completely dependent on the husband, the honor and disgrace of the wife all depended on the husband. If the husband is not satisfied with his wife, he can take a divorce. Therefore, in this patriarchal society, women's rights are not guaranteed.
But the marriage of the Holy Decree is different, if it is the Divine Decree of the marriage, then I am afraid that the man will not dare to divorce the woman. Even if the relationship between men and women is not good in the future, the man should not dare to divorce the woman, after all, this is a loss of face for the emperor! Huang Yanjing gave marriage, which means that this marriage is happy. But if the man dares to divorce his wife, it will not give the emperor face, and the emperor will not know how to clean up the man! And this holy decree is Li Junxian's promise to Dugu Yiren, to give Dugu Yi people a happy promise, indicating that Li Junxian will not fail Dugu Yiren in his life.
"Jun Xian, do you really want me to marry you?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Junxian is a little weird, how does this Li Shimin's attitude seem a little strange. Originally, Li Junxian was nine out of ten, but now Li Shimin's attitude is a little strange? The tone in Li Shimin's words seems to be a little dissatisfied with his behavior? Li Junxian secretly recalled that he had offended Li Shimin during this time? But Li Junxian couldn't imagine where he had offended Li Shimin.
Li Junxian gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! The emperor, the minister hopes that the emperor will give the minister a marriage, so that the minister can give Miss Dugu a promise. ”
"This?" Li Shimin said with some hesitation.
Empress Eldest Sun also asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with anything?" Isn't it just a marriage? Why is it so difficult for you? ”
"Guanyin, you don't know, I hesitate!" Li Shimin also whispered.
"Your Majesty, what can you hesitate about? Li Junxian's surname is Li, maybe we were a family five hundred years ago, why should we disappoint the hero for this little thing of marriage? Empress Eldest Sun said.
Li Shimin sighed slightly and said, "Yes! We were one family 500 years ago! ”
Li Shimin stood up and said, "Jun Xian, I will give you a marriage." However, I hope that after you marry your wife, you can put down your family affairs with peace of mind, and then work hard to contribute to Datang. ”
Li Shimin's display is clearly wooing, because the emperor's marriage is not only a guarantee of honor for the woman, but also an act of courting the emperor to his subordinates. The emperor's marriage was of great political significance to the courtiers in ancient times. And as a courtier, of course, you have to express something.
"The minister must guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to defend the country for the Tang Dynasty and expand the territory!" Li Junxian began to say some so-called grandiose words, but his heart was completely perfunctory.
When Li Shimin saw Li Junxian's words, he also personally brought a blank holy decree and personally wrote an edict for marriage. And when Li Junxian saw Li Shimin's behavior, he suddenly thought in his heart, how much is this holy decree written by Li Shimin himself worth in the future generations? Li Junxian is a historical researcher, and it is inevitable that he will communicate with cultural relics and archaeology, and as a result, he will be assessed by the value of things with historical significance.
After Li Shimin finished writing, Empress Changsun took a jade seal from the side, lightly dipped it in some ink, and pressed it on the place where the holy decree was signed.
"Okay, Jun Xian, can you take it to the subordinate province for consideration?" Li Shimin said.
Li Junxian knew that any holy decree in ancient times had to be submitted to the province for consideration, and the same was true for this holy decree of marriage. If it is not approved by the Ministry of Menxia, then this edict is useless, that is, the central decree.
And after Li Junxian left, Empress Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, why did you hesitate when General Li wanted to marry just now?" ”
Li Shimin sighed and said helplessly: "Hey, why is his surname Li?" If he doesn't have the surname Li, I will definitely recruit him as a son-in-law. ”
