Chapter 40: Wenhua Prosperous
The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs.
This is an ancient precept that circulated in Bang Zhou, and under this ancient precept, a series of rules for the Son of Heaven were extended, one of which was the marriage of Zhou Tianzi.
King Zhou Zhao is a student of Luo Su, and King Zhou Yi is a student of Luo Cheng, this relationship is almost equivalent to that between father and son, but the marriage of these two Zhou Tianzi is also a completely political marriage, and there is no room for them to choose who they like.
The last pampered King Zhou You was dead.
But in fact, not only Zhou Tianzi, most of the nobles' marriages are marriages, and now Luo Jing's marriage is the same, the only difference is that Liu Heng stuffed him with a bunch of talented and beautiful girls, and he can always find one or several of them he likes.
Luo Jing walked out of the palace in a bit of a daze, and began to think about the political implications, he still remembered his father's evaluation of the emperor back then - a person who was born to be an emperor, every word and deed and even unintentional actions were political.
Luo Jing's marriage has a very important political influence, second only to the queen's choice.
He was a hardcore royalist and the son of a former regent.
The political resources of Yinghou Luoyi and Shouguang Hou Luochen all fell on him, and even many of the resources of Anyang Hou Luocai were also with him.
He is one of the stabilizers of the court situation, and his status in the current Han Dynasty is even higher than that of the crown prince.
The crown prince may still be deposed, but his position can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
In exchange, it is normal for his marriage to be a condition for winning over some people, Luo Jing has such an awareness, but Liu Heng married so much for him, with Luo Jing's political wisdom, he can't think of the reason.
However, he knew that the emperor would not harm him, so he could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.
Liu Heng's speed is very fast.
The Queen Mother invited the noble daughter to Weiyang Palace to participate in the banquet, and then Liu Heng released the news that he was going to choose a wife for Luo Jing.
The whole Chang'an City went crazy all at once!
This adjective is no exaggeration, whether it is the group of meritorious people or the emerging magnates who rose in the later period, almost all of them are trying to get some news from the emperor's mouth.
As for sending letters to the queen of Changle Palace, there are even more, after all, the queen is in charge of marriage in the world.
This is the guarantee of the family's wealth!
Not much worse than the position of the crown princess.
Who doesn't need to participate in the party struggle between the princes, but can achieve the same effect?
As for the circle of noble girls, needless to say, Luo Jing is the most beautiful boy in Chang'an City, and he is the dream person of most noble girls.
I wish to win the heart of Dong'a, and the white head will not be separated.
This is what a certain noble daughter of the Liu family, who did not want to be named, said.
In this era of extremely open atmosphere, if it weren't for the family elders to stop it, I'm afraid that a noble girl would have taken the initiative to pursue Luojing.
But now that Liu Heng has directly let go of this restriction, everyone's minds are alive.
β¦β¦
After the queen heard about Liu Heng's plan, she was even more shocked than Luo Jing, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" β
Liu Heng chuckled and said, "Isn't it a good thing to marry more noble girls?" β
"It's a good thing."
The queen hesitated, "But this is unreasonable. β
Liu Heng said softly: "Ah Jing's influence is too great, but he doesn't realize it, isn't it too dangerous to be like a baby with a sharp blade swaggering through the market?"
The women I have chosen for him are like splendid but tough silk, enveloping the sharpness so that he will not hurt others and hurt himself. β
The queen nodded as if she didn't understand, and Liu Heng actually didn't say the second half of the sentence.
After decades of Empress Gao, Emperor Xiaohui and Liu Heng, the Dong'a Hou State was the largest Hou State.
Of course, there is no problem that Luo Jing is still there now, but in the future, this is the way to take trouble, after all, the princely kingdoms are gradually splitting the country, and it is impossible for the Dong'a Hou Kingdom to remain the same as it is now.
Rather than the unpleasant future generations of descendants, and even the posthumous name of Luo Jing, it is better to solve it now.
Marry more wives and have more children, and when Luo Jingxu dies, those children will divide up all the political influence of Dong'a Hou and Dong'e Yixi.
Banquet.
The Weiyang Palace is brightly lit, which is a rare occasion for the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress to attend together, and all the ministers who come here are ministers, princes and princes, as well as their families, wives and daughters.
Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, as long as it is of the right age, basically all of them are brought, anyway, they are all concubines, and there are not so many requirements in terms of identity.
And in this era of many political marriages, most powerful families, concubines usually live better than concubines, because concubines are more valuable.
For a while, the whole hall was full of warblers and swallows, which was more lively than the emperor's harem.
When the emperor and others walked to the palace, everyone saluted one after another and said loudly: "King Su is above, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen Wan'an!" β
Then I saw Luo Jing sitting on a seat very close to the emperor, which was essentially different from the other courtiers in the palace.
Most people looked at the peerless Luo Jing with shining eyes, and Liu Heng immediately smiled when he saw this: "Ah Jing, you see that in this hall, there are countless fragrant and beautiful women, and they are all here for you."
The ministers of the palace are counting on you to be their son-in-law.
The eldest husband was born in the world, isn't this something that ordinary people envy and can't envy?
This situation and this scene should be given to all the princes and princes to express this sentiment and pass it on to future generations. β
Everyone knew that Luo Jing had the ability to speak into chapters, and although many women were a little shy when they heard the emperor's words, their eyes lit up, and they stared at Luo Jing with burning eyes. β
Liu Heng also ordered the court painters to come and ordered them to make a painting of today's night banquet, Liu Heng believed that this kind of information to promote the prosperity of the scene should be passed on to future generations, so that future generations can be fascinated by this era.
It's like the scholars and nobles of this era want to go back to the era of King Su's regency.
Luo Jing had already begun to make fu at this time, first describing the prosperity of tonight, then praising the grace of the queen mother and the emperor and empress, then praising the princes and princes who came to the banquet, and finally devoting a lot of space to praising the nobles who came to the palace.
Han Fu this kind of style, pay attention to a gorgeous rhetoric, under this style of writing, there are things not empty, the requirements for the person who does the Fu will be very high.
But of course Luo Jing is no problem, it is basically easy for him to come by, especially this kind of praise, Luo Shi first learned all kinds of hymns, this kind of aria is basically instinctive.
Each stanza ends with a four- or two-character phrase and ends with the word "zai" or "η£", which is typical of the Rockwell aria.
In the land of Zhuxia, there is almost no one who does not know, and all kinds of sacrifices and ceremonies can be seen.
At this time, everyone in the hall applauded in unison, and even sang along with him, which is Luo's influence on the world in a subtle way.
Luo Jing paused from time to time, the hall sounded bursts of praise, Liu Heng looked at Luo Jing and Rongyan, when the whole Fu ended, the palace was completely noisy, Liu Heng laughed and said: "I gave the name "Long Night Weiyang Fu" for this purpose, and it should be included in the classics to see future generations. β
After a long while, the hall finally became quiet, and the queen spoke: "Summoning these rich and noble families tonight is for the marriage of Dong'a Hou Jing.
Dong'a Hou Jing is the son-in-law of King Luowen, the heir of the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, and the noble relatives of the clan, can you still find a more noble Langjun than him in this world?
Your Majesty and I think so.
Even Wenhua, even the face, is there anything that can beat Dong'a Hou Jing?
Your Majesty and I don't think so.
Such a handsome man, what kind of woman in the world can marry him?
I'm afraid it will take the legendary Xizi, Luoshen and so on!
Like is there such a woman today?
Your Majesty and I don't think so.
Zhao Gongling said that Luo's marriage does not look at the family, only depends on the person's conduct to learn, His Majesty thinks so, so in addition to the noble relatives, there are more than 100 carefully selected women from good families in Shandong.
But even so, there is still no talent and appearance that can match Dong'a Hou Jing.
Can the bird be in the company of the bird?
Can pheasants be matched with phoenixes?
Nature can't, so what should be done?
I'm worried. β
The queen's words can be said to be ruthless, you all want to marry a daughter to Dong'a Hou Jing, but you are not worthy of others.
Neither Luo nor we care about your family background, but what should we do if we are not as talented as you are?
The faces of the families were a little sneering, and they wanted to say that it is enough for the wife to be virtuous and virtuous, but your requirements are too high, and besides, there are people with good looks among the families, who are a good match.
The queen added: "The majestic and towering palace is made of wood and bricks.
The rough sea is formed by the convergence of babbling streams.
Towering into the mountains are gravel, and in the endless desert are tiny sands.
One person is small, one person is short, and one person is insufficient, but if there are ten people, one hundred people, each making it excellent, it must be enough to compete for glory. β
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
If you can't do it alone, just marry a few more.
The hall was stunned and speechless.
