Chapter Seventy-Eight Different Ideas, Different Ideas (Part 2)
Secondly, when a woman doesn't love her husband, she just wants to live her life well and doesn't want to get involved in too many troubles, so she will take the initiative to help her husband take in concubines. After taking in concubines, she obviously becomes more relaxed.
There are many loopholes that can be exploited, but after the husband takes a concubine, he will receive a lot of restrictions, because the feudal clan system will have many restrictions on the husband after taking a concubine, so this will also make the husband feel uncomfortable.
According to ancient laws, if a concubine beats her husband, it will be dealt with in the same way as if a wife beats her husband. However, if the husband beats a concubine, it is different from beating his wife. When it comes to concubines, injuries are generally not counted.
The thing is, you have to be beaten to the point of breaking a bone or more, in order to be reduced to the second level of beating your wife.
Therefore, in ancient times, there were many people who killed concubines with a stick, but it was unheard of to kill a wife with a stick. This is one of the reasons why wives agreed to their husbands taking concubines. The threat to themselves was really too small.
Another reason is that if the main wife has no children, letting her husband take concubines is the last way to save herself. There is an old saying: "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children."
On the one hand, it is the ideological concept that family continuation is above all else. On the other hand, in ancient times, it was too vicious and too rampant to exterminate families.
In ancient times, if two people had been married for many years and still had no children, the uncles and brothers in the family would look at the couple very differently. In their view, the husband's property belonged to the family.
Yes, if the woman wants to take advantage, that is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, in ancient times, once the husband passed away, the fate of the heroine was often very tragic. It was common for the husband to be kicked out of the house in minutes before his body was cold.
Think about it for a moment, if you traveled back in time to ancient times and married a husband who couldn't give birth to a son for a few years, the uncles and brothers around you would look at you and your wife, just waiting for your husband to burp and kick you out.
Persons divide property.
Can you not be in a hurry?
In ancient times, when the average life expectancy was so low and the medical conditions were not good, there was no guarantee that a man would be gone one day. Once the husband passed away and there was no man in the family, who could withstand the fierceness of those desperate people?
, the key to this bad habit is that the official level also acquiesces in secret support, which simply does not give female comrades a way to survive.
Therefore, for a wife in this situation, not to mention that her husband wants to take a concubine, even if her husband doesn’t say it, she will take the initiative to help contact the concubine, whether it is a house maid or a suitable woman, as long as she can give me a son to support me.
, no matter what.
In the eyes of outsiders, the first wife is a virtuous and virtuous woman with five-star reviews.
At this time, the husband is actually not only a husband, but also a working cow that can guarantee his happiness for the rest of his life. Don’t complain about hardship, don’t complain about tiredness, Shiquan Dabu Decoction, the secret recipe for childbirth is here!
Every time when night falls, the head wife's roar will probably not be "Why did you run into that foxy house?" but "Hurry up, get over there and have a son!"
As a lady of ancient times, Yao Ying understood these twists and turns very thoroughly. On the contrary, Zhang Zijun never thought about these aspects at all. Different concepts lead to different ideas.
Just when Zhang Zijun was planning to move to Jiangnan in the future, a big event happened in the capital. Empress Dowager Qian passed away. According to Yingzong's will, Empress Dowager Qian should be the only woman who could be buried with him. However, Empress Dowager Qian had just died, and Empress Dowager Zhou
He firmly opposed the theory of joint burial and asked his son to choose another cemetery for Empress Dowager Qian. This just proved the foresight of Li Xian and Peng Shi when they built the Yingzong Mausoleum.
After several years of palace fighting, Zhu Jianshen was already very attracted to his mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou. Then they thought of various reasons together and sent their internal officials Xia Shi and Huai En to summon a group of ministers and announced that they would discuss with Empress Dowager Qian.
funeral matters.
Peng Shi saw through the emperor's trick immediately. He took the lead before Xianzong could speak: "The Empress Dowager Qian and the late emperor were buried together in Yuling, and the god's nephew entered the Taimiao. This was the late emperor's last wish and had been decided a long time ago.
Is there anything else that can be discussed?" Zhu Jian saw that this was not what he was talking about, so he had to interrupt the meeting in a hurry.
The next day, Xianzong, who had been thinking hard all night about countermeasures, once again summoned the ministers to discuss the matter again. Peng Shi did not allow the emperor to argue and repeated what he had said the day before.
Zhu Jianshen was stunned by the big hats of filial piety given to him for free by the cabinet ministers one after another. After thinking about all the excuses all night, he had no choice but to take out the old man in the harem: "What are you talking about?
Do I not know? I am just worried that once the Empress Dowager Qian is buried, my empress mother will lose the opportunity to be buried with the late Emperor!
In Zhang Zijun's opinion, this kind of scene where the living and the dead are fighting to be buried together is a conflict of ideas. Mad, that's okay too.
Peng Shi felt relieved when he saw that the emperor showed his trump card: "The emperor is very filial to the two queen mothers, which has long been a famous act of 'holy virtue'. But to fulfill the name of filial piety, it must be in compliance with etiquette." Cabinet
Important minister Shang Ren also expressed his position: "If the Empress Dowager Qian is not allowed to be buried, the emperor's reputation will be damaged in the future."
Academician Liu Dingzhi followed suit: "The most important thing about filial piety is to uphold righteousness, not to uphold the temporary orders of your elders!"
Zhu Jianshen was bombarded by the ministers, and stars were popping up in front of his eyes. He had a stutter for a long time, and finally came out with a sentence: "If you don't even obey the orders of your biological mother, can you still be considered a filial son?
?”
Hearing what the emperor said, Peng Shi quickly thought of his previous plan, and suggested to Zhu Jianshen: "The Empress Dowager Qian can be buried on the left side of the late emperor, and the right position will be reserved for the future of the Empress Dowager Zhou."
Peng Shi, Shang Lu, and Liu Dingzhi then jointly wrote a memorial to Zhu Jianshen: "The Queen Mother serves as the companion of the late Emperor, and she is in the middle palace. Her Majesty respects her as the Queen Mother and declares it to the world. The late Emperor has a complete relationship between husband and wife, and Your Majesty expresses the love of mother and son.
Both the righteousness and the righteousness are fulfilled. Now the Zi Palace should be buried together in the Yuling Mausoleum, and the main one should be the nephew's temple. This is a difficult ceremony. I heard that I wanted to predict the burial place separately, and the officials were really suspicious and fearful. Anyone who said that the emperor was hesitant must think that the empress dowager has a long life.
, should share the same honors with the late emperor, since he thinks that the marriage of two empresses is not an ancestral system. According to ancient research, the Han Emperor honored his biological mother, Empress Dowager Bo, while Empress Lu was still the nephew of Changling. Song Renzong pursued and honored his biological mother, Concubine Li Chen, and Concubine Liu
Later, the Imperial Ancestral Temple was still built. Now, if the system of the mausoleum and temple is not in harmony, it will be so beautiful that it will be ridiculed."
How could Zhu Jianshen be able to outsell these cabinet ministers, citing the present and extracting from the past with good reason and evidence, yet he was able to push back Zhu Jianshen and the Queen Mother of Zhou.
However, the Empress Dowager Zhou was determined not to accept this plan. Finally, the document did not get the approval of her son Zhu Jianshen, and Peng Shi could not submit it to the court meeting.
Zhu Jianshen originally thought that the ministers would understand his ideas, so someone had to stand up and help him, right? So that he could reject the omission. But he never expected that this suggestion was approved by Li Bing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Yao, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The ninety-nine attending court officials headed by Kui responded unanimously.
Faced with such a result, Zhu Jianshen, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to plead with the ministers: "What you said is absolutely true, but you should also pity me. I have asked my mother for comfort many times, but she has not been able to get it."
I agree. Now it is unfilial for me to disobey etiquette, but it is also unfilial to disobey my mother. Can you think of a way for me?"
The ministers were deeply dissatisfied with the emperor who had lost the principle of filial piety, and they all aroused a feeling of righteous indignation and vowed to seek justice for the helpless empress dowager Qian. When Zhan Shi Ke Qian was involved, Wei Yuan was informed of the matter on the same day.
The next day, the battle was even bigger. Headed by Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, 470 ministers jointly signed a pamphlet and placed it on Zhu Jianshen's desk. They were all asking for orders from Empress Dowager Qian and asking for the Yingzong couple to be buried together.
Although Zhang Zijun had no actual position, since it was a joint signature, he signed it for the sake of his father-in-law. Under such stimulation, the Queen Mother Zhou became even more furious. No matter what the courtiers said, the message from the palace was still
