Chapter 489 Protecting the Queen Mother
Sure enough, for King Qin Zhao, the most important thing is to be outside.
Now that the wars in various countries are stalemate, the generals that can be transferred by the Qin State are basically fighting outside, and it is true that only Jiang Chiyu is still idle.
However, when it comes to dealing with Yiqu.
The audience raised their hands: I will answer this question! If you want to destroy the righteous canal, find the Empress Dowager Xuan! It's time for Empress Dowager Xuan to contribute to this step.
The audience giggled, feeling that this time the Jiang family had stolen the answer again. Indeed, with the relationship between Empress Dowager Xuan and King Yiqu, it seems that there is no problem in summoning King Yiqu over. Of course, this is more labor-intensive than directly attacking Yiqu.
Kkellen: Let's just say, King Qin Zhao has known for so many years that his mother had an affair with King Yiqu, and he had two children, and he also raised a face head, and the face head also openly went to and from the palace of King Qin, why was he not angry?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: We can't use modern thinking to measure the marriage system and behavior of this era. Because in this era, many times the primitive marriage customs are merging with the current patriarchal system, or it is still a process of transformation, and it has not yet taken shape.
Therefore, sometimes what seems to be a debaucherous behavior in the future is actually normal at this time. 】
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: In fact, not only the Empress Dowager Xuan, but also many women in this era. It's just that she is more famous and well-known to everyone.
After the primitive society changed from matrilineal to patrilineal, the institution of marriage began to slowly change into polygamy. A patriarch who manages all property as well as wives and concubines. Even if it is the wife and concubine of others, it can be regarded as the property of everyone.
A patriarch will have many wives and concubines, and when he dies, his eldest son will inherit everything. At that time, except for the mother and daughter, other women can become the wives and concubines of the new patriarch.
Marrying a father's wife and concubine is called "Hao", and marrying an uncle's wife and concubine is called "retribution", which is reasonable and legal.
In addition to these two kinds, there is also "prostitution", which everyone should have heard of, that is, the father takes a fancy to his daughter-in-law and nephew, and he can also snatch it to be his wife and concubine, which is not uncommon in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In addition, there is also the system of marriage between the wife and the nephew. For example, if a prince marries a wife, the nephew of the lady, that is, the niece, and the sister, and the sister of the lady, the two women with the same surname will marry to be the left and right concubines; The nephews and dis of the left and right concubines also married together. This is the so-called: three people in one country, one marrying nine daughters. 】
Xingsha: Okay! Marry one get eight free!
Dream of the Ancient City: Sure enough, don't be too happy to be a prince......
Mouth operator: None of the single dogs can be pleased, they are a family all of a sudden, so angry!
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: In addition to these, there is also a marriage system that is duality. The so-called duality is monogamous to monogamous. However, the dual monogamy of the couple is not fixed. After marriage, a woman can run away from home and abandon her husband and children. This is reasonable and legitimate. 】
Zhiwojia: Stunned Lao Tie! If you've had enough, you can go, right?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Almost. In many places, it is not only not forbidden, but it is also very encouraged, because it can increase the population and increase the strength. Therefore, although some people will criticize what the Empress Dowager Xuan did, it is actually normal. That's why everyone knows what she did, but no one condemns her for it. 】
[An An anchor: So Qin Shi Huang's merits are great, he not only unified the territory, unified the political system, unified the legal system, unified the writing, currency, weights and measures, but also unified the marriage folk customs. A veritable unification.
The Shang Dynasty Reform Law and the Qin Law of Qin Shi Huang strictly prohibited primitive marriage customs, and the state protected monogamous marriage, and imposed heavy penalties on obscenity, parasition, and evasion of marriage that violated monogamous customs. This also laid the foundation for the monogamous marriage system in later generations. 】
Jiang Anrao Jiang's father talked to the audience in the live broadcast room, the rest of the Jiang family did not interject, Wang Yun listened silently on the side.
He had heard of this Qin Shi Huang several times.
It's a pity that he shouldn't have been born yet. Otherwise, he really wants to get to know him.
[Guest Jiang Chiyu: When I entered the palace to see King Qin Zhao, he did not clearly reveal his intention to attack the Yiqu, but he asked me to take over the northwest camp. This is also the meaning of fighting the righteous canal. 】
Yiqu was a branch of Xirong and was a vassal to Qin during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin. It's just that Yiqu is not really subservient to Qin, and Qin is not really at ease with Yiqu.
Qin's attitude towards Yiqu has always been to suppress it when it is fine, and from time to time he also sends troops to invade the territory of Yiqu. Once the war here is tight, he will send money and cloth to Yiqu to send beauties. Just as Zhao always had to spend a lot of energy to deal with the Xiongnu Donghu, Qin also had to spend a lot of energy every year to deal with Yiqu.
Yiqu has good land, but they are also nomads, and from time to time they can appear in the north and west of Qin, harassing and attacking.
It can be said that during the reign of the Qin army of King Qin Zhao's generation, Yiqu was the most stable time in many years. Perhaps it was because Empress Dowager Xuan encircled the current King of Yiqu that the Qin State was not taken advantage of by Yiqu when it was at war with other countries for so many years.
However, the failure of Yiqu was always a big obstacle to Qin's conquest of the Central Plains. This time, King Zhao was determined to get rid of them.
Jiang Chiyu took the order to take charge of the northwest camp and set off a few days later. Soon after, the Jiang family also received the news that King Yiqu was coming to Xianyang.
It was at this time that Jiang Anrao was summoned into the palace of King Qin by King Qin Zhao.
"Giant. I have summoned you this time because of a reluctant invitation. King Qin Zhao still didn't talk much nonsense, and when he saw that Jiang Anrao had arrived, he put the idle people and others back and went straight to the point.
I'm looking for you!
"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Anrao guessed, this kung fu called himself, could it be that he let himself kill the king of Yiqu?
"After a while, someone will enter the palace to see the Queen Mother. The people who came were fierce, although there were many female officials in the palace, but at the critical moment, I was afraid that I would not be able to protect the Queen Mother, so I wanted to invite the giant to live in the palace these days to protect the safety of the Queen Mother. ”
King Qin Zhao said, "It would be even better if there were other women with outstanding skills with the giant." ”
Jiang Anrao didn't agree immediately, thought for a while, and then said:
"Naturally, there is no problem on my side. It's just that the last time I saw the Queen Mother was many years ago, and there was some unhappiness between me and the Queen Mother. At this time, I rushed into the palace, although it was to protect the safety of the Queen Mother, but I was afraid that the Queen Mother would not be happy to see me. ”
It's been going on for years.
About the fifteenth year of Jiang Anrao, the Queen Mother wanted to help Qi Rong win over the forces of Shudi, and then proposed to let Jiang Anrao marry Yan Gu from Shudi, but Jiang Anrao secretly dismissed his face at that time. In the end, the Queen Mother's participation in power was seized, and the third of the four nobles were caused by this incident as the fuse.
After so many years, Jiang Anrao believes that the Queen Mother has not forgotten enough to forget about this matter.
Now that she is asked to "protect" the Queen Mother, it is strange that the Queen Mother Xuan can be happy when she sees her!
