Chapter 412: Little Commander vs. Sigismund

For Zhu Wenkui's suggestion, everyone has their own thoughts.

The people of the Purple Horde were actually very interested, but they could not directly say whether the loopholes in it would be acceptable to the Europeans. For example, this age of marriage and childbearing is rather strange in the eyes of the Purple Horde.

The minimum age for marriage under Roman law was 14 for men and 12 for women. After the collapse of ancient Rome, the Church continued to use this rule. However, like many other canons prohibiting forced marriages and marriages between close relatives, this rule has remained on paper for most of the time.

The theory of the Purple Horde was that Guo Gai, Patriarch Zhang Da and others directly copied the Zhou rites, that is, men were required to be 20 years old and women were 15 years old. But this rule also faced the same dilemma as the churchβ€”even with the control power of the Purple Horde, it could not restrict the customs of the people.

But even so, getting married at the age of six is outrageous. I don't know how round is better.

Princess Jeanne didn't seem very positive on the subject. Therefore, we can only put an end to this discussion for the time being. After all, this is only a preliminary meeting to exchange views, and specific matters will have to be discussed slowly in the future.

So, he looked at the others and told Princess Jeanne the next thing: "We are grateful that the princess helped us call the crusade before. However, our scholars have found that some of the French regulations were biased against the Romans. The princess is close to us, so we wanted to talk to you first. ”

"Prejudice?" Princess Jeanne was a little surprised.

"We have found that some of your country's ancient laws contain laws that clearly discriminate against and even insult the Romans." Lu Shangshu said:

In the Salic Code, it was explicitly written that the killing of a Frank or a barbarian protected by law required 200 sous, but only half of the Romans. In the case of vassal Romans who were to pay tribute to the king, the compensation was lower. Isn't this obvious discrimination and prejudice? ”

"These regulations are a long time ago, and we don't need to pursue them. However, the current situation shows that the code is still in force and that some of it is quoted from time to time. You should know these things. ”

Princess Jeanne thought about it and seemed to understand something. She didn't say anything, just nodded, indicating that she did know.

"If it's just your country's internal law, we don't need to meddle. But now that the relationship between the two countries is getting closer and the people-to-people contacts are becoming more frequent, the situation is very different from that of the past. In this case, there should be no need to continue to maintain it. Lu Shangshu continued.

However, there are portions of the Salik Code that are still frequently cited today. And it is not a folk relic, it is a state act led by the royal family. "So we think it's not hard to understand our concerns – if some of them are applicable, does that mean that other parts are applicable?" ”

Princess Jeanne thought about it and saw that this concern was logically justified. So she nodded again and asked, "Are you hoping that you can solve this part of the potential problem?" ”

"Yes." "We hope that our allies will be considerate of our difficulties," he replied. We can no longer be entangled in the contradictions and conflicts of the past, but now that there are so many tourists and business travelers, if someone really persecuts our citizens on the grounds of the ancient legal code, what can we do? ”

"So, our choice was also a last resort. We hope that your country will abandon the old code and rewrite what is needed. If you really can't, you can also publicly state which parts should be kept and which parts should be abandoned. In this way, we can have some peace of mind. ”

Speaking of which, everyone already understands it very well.

The Salic Code is the reason for the French royal family to maintain paternal succession and exclude the inheritance rights of female members of the royal family and descendants. Whether it was the Valois branch vying for the throne with the Capetian lineage, or their current rejection of the claim of the King of England, it was all on this hand.

So, this thing is related to the legitimacy of the royal family. Therefore, it is possible to play tricks and double standards, but it cannot be without.

Normally, legitimacy itself is an axiomatic consensus. The custom of the Frankish tribes stipulated that the throne could only be passed to male descendants, so it had to be passed on to men. There is no point in questioning what kind of logic this is based on and whether it is unfair to female members. Because the tribal tradition itself is the default "truth" and is not to be discussed.

And the Purple Horde did not directly question the tradition itself. Because of the political issues involved, it is impossible to verify its authenticity itself, such as whether it is a real "tradition" or made up by later generations. Moreover, the Purple Horde and France have no in-laws, and there is no direct struggle for inheritance, so it is not meaningful to be entangled in these places and easily offend people, so it is better to bypass them directly.

Therefore, the Purple Horde simply used the unfavorable part of this code to question the rationality of the entire code.

Of course, it would be better if the royal family followed their advice and made changes directly. But unless they have been beaten to the brink of death, this ideal scenario is not very likely.

But even if it is a second best thing, the French royal family needs to deal with it seriously, that is, it needs to negotiate and discuss with them the legitimacy of the entire code. In this way, an issue that could not be discussed by oneself was brought to the negotiating table.

At this point, it is equivalent to clearly announcing that he will help Princess Jeanne and her descendants compete for the throne.

However, for their kindness, Princess Jeanne replied more tactfully.

"I'll help inform the court and the Regency Council." "However, some nobles may not be able to accept it," she said. ”

"Those nobles? Doesn't matter. Prime Minister Wang Cheng smiled and said: "You can tell them, we think that if the nobles of the court do not agree, the Duke of Normandy will also agree." ”

When Princess Jeanne heard this, she smiled bitterly and nodded.

As the Purple Horde has just said, the English certainly do not recognize this code. The King of England shared the same goal of recognizing the succession of female royals. Therefore, the relationship between the three parties is obviously not so simple.

However, this kind of thing really can't be finalized on the spot. So, after informing her, this simple meeting was over.

The family also invited the family of King Wu to stay and participate in the banquet in the evening. But Princess Ma said that she would take little Jeanne home to rest. I've been playing for a few days before, and I'm too tired, so I won't attend.

Hearing her say this, Zhu Wenkui also said that he would go back together. Anyway, the business to be discussed is related to Princess Jeanne, let her communicate and discuss with the relevant people herself, it's fine.

In this way, only Princess Jeanne herself remains.

She was obviously a little unwilling, but Princess Ma had a good reason. Even Tuhuan and others felt that at Little Jeanna's age, it was better to go home and sleep. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree.

After that, the others got up and left the big tent and went outside the temporary camp, chatting along the way. Tuhuan, Zhu Wenkui, and Theodora left alone and went to a place near the sea to relax.

When they were farther away, Theodora murmured.

"Lao Wang is too slippery." She shook her head and said, "At first, I reminded Princess Jeanne that he should have said it, but it turned out that my mother had to come forward." In the face of outsiders, how can they be so timid. ”

"That's understandable. Don't talk about him, I don't know if the princess is an outsider or not. Tuohuan shrugged: "Wen Kui Anda, what do you think?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Wenkui lowered his voice: "When I need to stay with her now, I have to find a way to avoid suspicion as much as possible." ”

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so exaggerated." Tuhuan had to comfort him again.

"I'm fine, but I have to take care of my family's reputation." Zhu Wenkui said, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know why my father is so persistent, hey......"

"Anyway, now, I'm going to take a good look at my sister first, so that she can grow up well. For the rest, I can only do my best. He waved his hand and said.

Seeing that it was not easy for everyone, I had to sigh with my joy.

"I don't know what's going on with Brother Kang." He muttered, "If he's here, maybe he can persuade him." ”

"What did he do?" Zhu Wenkui is still unclear about what happened before.

"The thief is gone." Theodora said: "Cao Jian gave him a group of Rus' recruits, but the quality of those people was too poor, and there were a lot of street gangsters in them. He found it difficult to accept, so he was ready to catch a person with too many bad deeds as a model and rectify the atmosphere. ”

"Whether it's Cao Jian, it's okay for him, why are you in such a hurry." Tuhuan shook his head and commented: "This kind of thing, it would be good to deal with it normally." ”

"There is a struggle within the Cao family. This time, the Cao clan as a whole supported Brother Kang's plan, but it was impossible to determine who would be in charge of this matter. If the plan is successful, a number of new mandates will be created. Of course, they will not let go of this opportunity. Theodora took it for granted:

"Whoever strikes first, places his own people, and creates established facts, the advantage behind will snowball. Cao Jian was already weak, so of course he was in a hurry. ”

"As for Brother Kang...... He was too much of an ideal knight. Theodora shook his head: "He usually goes to and from church and monasteries every day, like a priest. Except for seeing that he often makes some strange things out and thinks he is smarter, everyone will not think that he is special. But in fact, his sense of justice is surprisingly high. ”

"He's in a hurry, I suspect it's not for power, it's not for the sake of his family and his own reputation, it's just because he can't stand it. However, Master Wang also knows this, and has already sent an examiner to investigate the ins and outs. ”

"That's normal, it's not him if you're not in a hurry." Zhu Wenkui obviously also knows Guo Kang's temper: "I also go to the slum from time to time, and in terms of the environment over there, it is estimated that he is so angry that he runs to cut people personally......"

"Yes. He's really capable of doing it. Theodora hesitated: "I don't know if he is so reckless, whether it is safe." Otherwise, I wouldn't have attended the reception in the evening. I'll go see what's going on on his side. ”

"In the evening, we have to entertain veterans whose families are not nearby, so they can't go home to visit their families." Tuhuan reminded her: "Although it is customary that only my father Khan and I need to play, it is better for our family to come forward." It's okay to say something, but it's not really important......"

"Just as I'm going to send my mother back. I'll stop by and ask. Zhu Wenkui took the initiative to say.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. As you said, they're thieves in the city. He said to Theodora: "Although everyone subconsciously thinks that Brother Kang is more like a master and a bachelor, he is also a disciple of Jiangmen after all, and he has been practicing martial arts for many years. There will be no risk in dealing with this kind of evil boy in the slum. ”

"yes." Tuhuan also nodded: "I have always felt that he is also the material for being a war commander, so let's not despise others too much." ”

"Actually, if he hadn't taken the initiative to propose a strategy to go south, I would have wanted to wait for this time, after the legion was rotated and repaired, and then I would have invited him to fight with Alemani." He said: "On our side of Rome, the first battle of the children of the Pillar Kingdom is also an important ceremony. To negotiate business with the Egyptian military leaders was a condescension for him. ”

"If you want me to say, even if it's personal force, he's enough." Tuhuan didn't seem to have enough blowing, and added: "It's a pity that the Alemanni have always been timid and don't dare to fight." Otherwise, I think it's entirely feasible to let Sigismund come out and fight him alone and fight the two countries. ”

"Sigismund is almost fifty years old." Theodora muttered, "Fight him ...... alone"

"It's not too old. You just know what it means, anyway. Tuhuan had no choice but to prevaricate.

Recently, I designed and produced an SSD enclosure with an external power supply. The public version of the circuit has been changed, and the power supply has been changed to an external connection, so no matter how old and how poor the power supply is, the interface can be used for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the lack of power supply and damage to the hard disk. The heat dissipation has also been specially strengthened.

The official name is "Solid-disk with Power-supply Qualified for Running" (SPQR) for short. If you are interested, just search for "SPQR hard disk enclosure". If you have technical questions, you can go to the group to find me.

This name seems to be relatively unique, and there is only this one when I search for it, and there are no competing products......
