"Brother, I heard that the emperor crowned Zhao Tuo in Zhangtai Palace!" Li Yu walked into a room in the Li Mansion and shouted to Li You who was sitting in front of the eucalyptus, studying the military book seriously.
Li You still lowered his head and looked at the slips spread out on the eucalyptus seriously. Seeing that Li You didn't answer, Li Yu shouted again: "It is clear that the eldest son is the one to be crowned this time. Zhao Tuo did this.
, wouldn’t it steal the eldest son’s limelight? You said this..."
"Do you have any objections to the emperor crowning the concubine?" Li You raised his head and looked at his younger brother coldly.
"Ah? I didn't!" Li Yu broke out in a cold sweat. How could he dare to have an opinion against the emperor? He quickly argued: "No, I just think that after the eldest son is crowned, he will marry our sisters. This is my Li family."
At the most glorious time, the emperor crowned Zhao Tuo. Now that the news has spread, the whole of Xianyang is talking about it. On the contrary, no one is talking about the fact that my sister is going to marry the eldest son."
"He Zhao Tuo has really stolen all the limelight. Even my married daughter, the Li family, has to be suppressed by Zhao Tuo. That's why I feel a little unhappy."
"There is nothing to be angry about. You should know that the great concubine's glory was achieved by himself. If you are not angry, then work hard on your own. If you can make the same achievements as him, you can also get him.
That kind of treatment." Li You said in a deep voice: "Father once told me the word 'pattern', you should also remember it."
"Pattern?" Li Yu shook his head and whispered: "Brother, the reason why I am not angry is that in addition to Zhao Tuo's crowning, there is another thing that has spread throughout Xianyang. The emperor is going to let Princess Zhao Tuo Shang
Ah!" Princess Shang!
Li You's body was shaken. Li Yu said with some resentment: "Before Zhao Tuo came, the entire Xianyang nobility knew that the emperor intended to make you Princess Shang."
"For this matter, my brother has kept himself clean and has not touched women. He has endured it for several years. Seeing the princess grow up, it is the time for you, brother. In this way, I, the Li family, will not only have the wife of a young master, but also the wife of an emperor.
Son-in-law, what a glorious thing it is."
"But now such a good thing has been snatched away by Zhao Tuo. How can I bear this feeling in my heart! The emperor obviously has so many princesses, why does Zhao Tuo have to come and compete with you for this one? He just
Can't you wait for the next one?" Li Yu quietly listened to his brother's complaints, but his face calmed down and said calmly: "I know, you can go out." Li Yu looked at his brother's calm face and frowned, after all.
Feeling bored, he shook his head, sighed, and left.
After Li Yu left, Li You lowered his head. Princess. Pain flashed in Li You's eyes. He lowered his head and his eyes fell on the military book in front of him.
"Fame and fortune should be obtained on the battlefield. If I can be like Zhao Tuo and succeed in a last-ditch battle, defeat 300,000 Qi troops, destroy the country and capture the king, then I can also obtain what he has now."
"I think the princess will take another look at me." Li You thought of the excitement and sense of accomplishment he felt when he defeated the barbarians with fire attacks in Nanjun, was commended by the emperor, and then recalled Xianyang and upgraded his title to Zuo Shuchang.
A title that is upgraded based on meritorious service is far more satisfying than a title that comes from one's father's influence.
"I, Li You, should also perform meritorious service on the battlefield like Zhao Tuo!"
"I want to go to the battlefield again!" Li You suppressed the painful thing in his heart. He murmured, clenching his fists tightly together.
Endless fighting spirit burst out from his eyes.
"I want to make great contributions!"...the so-called etiquette
"Marry with the crown". Now that the eldest son is crowned, his marriage will naturally begin immediately. As the eldest son of the emperor, a man who is likely to become the crown prince of the empire, as Fusu's wedding approaches, his wedding
Soon it overshadowed everything else.
The so-called acceptance, name asking, acceptance, collection, request for date and other procedures for the wedding have the Zong Zhengfu coming forward to handle everything properly.
On the day of the wedding of Prince Fusu and Lady Li, the whole Xianyang was even more lively. All the people of Qin paid attention and talked a lot.
As a guest of the ceremony, Zhao Tuo followed Fusu's wedding and felt that this ancient wedding was very solemn and solemn. The various etiquettes and procedures were all strict and there were no annoying things in later generations.
"Wedding trouble". But what caught Zhao Tuo's attention was that because the Qin Dynasty was still black, from the convoy to the wedding scene, black was the main color, supplemented by white and red, and black cloth was everywhere.
Flying, black flag hunting, at first glance, it is really a unique scenery.
In addition, what Zhao Tuo has always been curious about is the appearance of the bride. Young Master Fusu has a handsome face, wears a royal hat, and has a certain style.
The ladies of the Li family wear hair accessories and pure clothes. After dressing up, they also have a beautiful appearance.
Because at this time, there were no red hijabs at weddings, but face-covering rituals such as slapping were only popular after the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo could see clearly the appearance of the Li family lady at a glance. It cannot be said that the bride is not good-looking. It can only be said that she is Li You's sister, connected by blood, and her appearance is somewhat similar to her brother.
Especially since it was dusk at this moment, with the flickering lights in the house, a scene of Li You wearing a wedding dress always appeared in Zhao Tuo's mind.
No matter what Zhao Tuo was thinking about over there, the bride and groom here, after all the etiquette, it was considered a ceremony and they were sent into the bridal chamber to live a happy night.
"Brother-in-law is getting married, so it will be my turn next." Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart. By attending Fusu's wedding today, he just became familiar with the wedding process and laid a foundation.
He noticed that in addition to people from Zongzheng Mansion and Fengchang Mansion attending the wedding of Prince Fusu, there were also many people from the Doctoral Academy hanging around.
Just because Confucianism is the successor of Zhou Rites, when it comes to etiquette, they think it is second, but no one dares to think it is first.
Even Feng Chang, who was responsible for the ancestral temple sacrifices, etiquette and culture of the Qin State, had to consult them on many things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the emperor recruited a large number of Confucian disciples to be doctors of Qin during the unification, he probably also took a fancy to their attainments in etiquette, so that they could serve as the basis for the new empire.
Develop higher-level etiquette standards and decorate your appearance.
Therefore, many of these Confucian doctors participated in the wedding of Prince Fusu, and they paid attention to etiquette, which really made the wedding feel a bit higher.
"Sure enough, there are specialties in the arts. If these people don't engage in political affairs and just concentrate on studying etiquette and education, they can be considered useful." Zhao Tuo smiled, turned and left.
And just as he was leaving, one of those Confucian doctors turned back and looked at Zhao Tuo's back. Chunyu Yue.
His eyes were full of disgust... After the wedding of Prince Fusu, Xianyang City was only peaceful for a day or two, and then it became excited again.
The destroyer of the Shandong kingdoms, the creator of many inventions, the brightest new star of the Qin State, and the chief concubine Zhao Tuo.
Princess Shang is about to be born! People from Zongzheng and Fengchang Mansion discussed and discussed the etiquette issues regarding Princess Changshang day and night, and they were several times more serious than before when the eldest son married his wife.
Just because the old system of Qin law means that the clan has no merit, there is no title or official position, and they are not allowed to enjoy excessive honors. Even after the Qin State was transformed into an empire, the treatment of many princes was still suppressed.
Although Prince Fusu is the eldest son, he is not a legitimate son, nor is he an official crown prince. He is legally no different from other princes.
Therefore, his wedding was only a slight improvement on the old system, and it was not too troublesome. But now Princess Zhao Tuoshang is a little different.
Qin Shihuang ascended the throne and became the first emperor in history, unique in the world. When an emperor recruits an emperor's son-in-law, the standards are naturally very different from those of the previous kings who recruited a prince's son-in-law.
This is the first time since the beginning of the world that an emperor or princess has recruited a son-in-law. Naturally, various etiquette systems need to be redesigned. Only in this way can the royal class and style be reflected.
If it is the same as before, wouldn't it be in vain to become the emperor? Moreover, this also contains the emperor's importance on this matter.
Zhao Tuo was the one who was crowned by the emperor. He did not deserve to be treated with great care by the princess.
Therefore, the emperor not only asked Zong Zheng and Feng Chang to take charge of this matter, but also issued an edict to the Doctor's Academy, asking many doctors to come and discuss the ceremony of the concubine and the princess.
However, after receiving the news about Princess Zhao Tuoshang, the Confucian doctors in the doctor's academy stirred up waves with one stone.
All the Confucian disciples were filled with anger and indignation.
"The princess's surname is Ying, and the eldest concubine Zhao Tuo's surname is also Ying."
"In ancient times, people with the same surname will not marry!"
