Chapter 495: People with the same surname will not marry
"Why don't you get married if you have the same surname? Naigong doesn't have a surname, and they all have wives. These Confucian scholars who are born in the same surname, Naigong must have their butts smashed by them!" In the mansion of the concubine, the black hip who had settled in Xianyang City cursed.
On the side, Lu Wan, Zhong Lifei, Li Shang and others also had angry faces. If the law were not harsh, they would really want to lead people into the Doctoral Palace and teach those people a lesson.
Shejian's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he whispered: "They are grudges about the previous enfeoffment, and they took this opportunity to take revenge on the chief concubine." Li Shiqi shook his head, took a sip of wine from the eucalyptus, and sneered.
: "No, I have already asked the friends of the Yin Yang family who are familiar with me. The reason why these Confucian scholars are opposed is probably to take advantage of the opportunity."
"In the past, the emperor abolished the posthumous law and governed the counties. They were very dissatisfied. Now, the marriage of concubines and elders happens to be contrary to the etiquette. They use the excuse of maintaining the etiquette to expand their right to speak and make their own voices heard. If they can
Preventing the marriage of eldest concubines and elders will allow Confucianism to gain a firm foothold in Qin." At this point, Li Shiqi turned to Zhao Tuo who was sitting in the chair and smiled: "But just because of this, I think
Don't pay attention to the concubine. They are just looking for embarrassment this time." Shejian said solemnly: "Why don't you teach me how to speak, and I will debate with them at the meeting tomorrow." Li Shiqi was startled.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this when it comes to China. According to my guess, someone will definitely take action tomorrow."
"Sir, that's what you said." Zhao Tuo also calmed down at this moment and saw clearly the relationship behind the matter. Those Confucian scholars were not stupid enough to choose to oppose the marriage just to retaliate against themselves. The reason why they did so was definitely for a purpose.
However, in this way, the interests of some people will naturally be harmed, and they will not be allowed to talk about it.
"I want to see how they perform at the meeting tomorrow." A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth.
He is not worried at all now. Except for allies who may take action, those Confucian scholars are from Shandong and have only been in Qin for a short time. They have not yet figured out who the current emperor is.
If the emperor could use the so-called etiquette to change the marriage, it would be like the sun rising from the west.
Sitting on the emperor's couch today is the First Emperor!... As the
The issue of "no marriage with the same surname" spread in Xianyang City, attracting the attention and discussion of many Qin people.
"The eldest concubine is from the State of Zhao, so why not treat me as the princess of the State of Qin? We are not close relatives. This is such a violation of the rules. It is really unreasonable."
"Of course, how much contribution the eldest concubine has made to our Qin country to unify the world, he should be honored by the princess, and those with the same surname don't get married, these people are really full and have nothing to do."
"I don't care. The eldest concubine has advised me to expand the enrollment of children in the school so that my son can enter the school. He is my benefactor. He should be a princess!" Most Guizhou heads are people without surnames. For this so-called
The rule of "no marriage with the same surname" seemed ridiculous. Especially the veterans who had retired from the military were filled with indignation, and some even insulted the Confucian disciples who were spreading propaganda on the spot.
If the Qin State had not banned private fighting, many of those Confucian disciples would have been beaten to death on the spot. Such a scene was beyond the expectations of Zhou Qingchen, Chun Yuyue and others. They originally wanted to arouse public opinion against Princess Zhao Tuoshang, but how could they know that those common people in Guizhou Province
Have no sympathy with them at all.
"The head of Guizhou without a surname knows no etiquette. We don't need to worry about it. The ones who can really have an impact are the officials and ministers. The last time Zhao Tuo proposed counties and counties and opposed the enfeoffment, he must have incurred the resentment of many officials. When the time comes, we will
If you open your mouth, someone will definitely follow suit." Chunyu Yue and others remained optimistic.
Under such a surging undercurrent, it was time for the court meeting on the second day. Zhao Tuo came to the Qin Palace early in the morning.
The main hall is majestic, and all the ministers gather in front of it.
"Master." When they saw Zhao Tuo coming, many people saluted and called each other. Although it was difficult to speak out because there were so many people here, many ministers who were good to Zhao Tuo showed goodwill towards Zhao Tuo.
This is a hint of support.
"Sure enough, not many people who can gain a foothold in the court are fools." Zhao Tuo's heart became clearer and clearer. In the distance, he saw many ministers greeting Zhao Tuo one after another. Fear appeared on Zhou Qingchen's face, while Chun Yuyue and others had expressions on their faces.
expression.
"The emperor is kind and courteous. Princess Zhao Tuoshang's matter is obviously against the rules of etiquette. We have a chance of winning!" After a while, as the hymn in the palace was finished, the ministers stepped into the palace amidst the voices of the visitors and sat down according to their official positions.
.
Zhao Tuo sat in front of the west side, while the doctors stood at the end of the hall. Diagonally opposite Zhao Tuo was Tingwei Li Si.
Zhao Tuo smiled at Li Si. Li Si nodded with a smile. Smart people can understand each other's meaning without speaking.
At this time, as the emperor sat on the chariot and entered the palace, walked to the throne and sat down, the court meeting officially began.
"How is the palace going?" The emperor first asked about the progress of the palace construction in Beiban, Xianyang. The general responsible for the construction of the palace and mausoleums, the Shaofu, immediately reported: "Back to your majesty, today the Chu Palace has been completed, and the Qi Palace will be here."
Construction will begin at the end of the month.”
"Yes." The emperor nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips. When the Qi Palace is completed, he will be able to sit in the Palace of the Seven Kingdoms in Xianyang.
The palace is filled with beauties and treasures from all over the world, which is really a great enjoyment and can bring him a strong sense of pleasure.
After the court meeting, some state affairs were dealt with. But the group of Confucian scholars standing at the end of the hall could not bear it any longer.
Chunyu Yue urged his servant Zhou Qingchen to speak. But Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but feel afraid when he thought of the previous scene where the ministers greeted Zhao Tuo and the fact that the left prime minister Wang Wan did not support them.
He should have spoken out, but he didn't dare to speak at this moment. Chun Yuyue, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but look angry when he saw this.
This week, Pu She retreated before the battle, and it turned out to be a dog with a broken crest. Chunyu Yue relied on the tone in his chest, stood up and reported: "I, Chunyu Yue, are ignorant of your Majesty's words. The etiquette says that marriages are based on different surnames. If they have the same surname,
, then there will be no marriage for a hundred generations, in order to determine the human ethics in the world."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I heard about the incident of Princess Zhao Tuoshang, the chief concubine. Zhao Tuo, the concubine, is from the clan of the State of Zhao, and is a descendant of the Zhao family with the surname Ying. Your Majesty
The eldest princess is also a descendant of the surname Ying. The two of them have the same surname. According to the etiquette system, intermarriage is not allowed. Your Majesty, please follow the etiquette and law and prevent her from getting married. I will only allow it!" This is the first sentence!
When he came out, all the ministers and ministers looked at the Confucian doctor who spoke with amusement.
This guy is really brave. Zhao Tuo, who was the protagonist of this matter, looked calm, but the face of the emperor on the emperor's couch suddenly turned cold.
He asked indifferently: "You said, people with the same surname should not marry?" Chunyu Yue cupped his hands and said: "It is an ancient ritual system not to marry with the same surname. Qin is a country of etiquette. Since ancient times, it has been a good marriage alliance with countries with different surnames. There are Qin, Jin, Qin
The Chu people have been married for several generations, but the marriage between Qin and Zhao has never been good. This is clear proof. Your Majesty, please act according to the etiquette." After Chunyu Yue finished speaking, Qi Baibi also brought a few bold doctors to join in.
"The ancients said that if a man and a woman have the same surname, their life will be different. If they marry with the same surname, it is really taboo. Your Majesty, please check it out!" There was a dead silence in the palace, and many people had a look of surprise on their faces.
They didn't expect that these Confucian scholars and doctors would be so bold. Men and women have the same surname, so their birth is not Fan.
Although this sentence is indeed an old saying and many people have heard it, but to dare to say it in public in this hall is simply astonishingly courageous.
Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed, and the hands in his sleeves clenched into fists. On the emperor's couch, the emperor was not angry, only a cold light flashed in his eyes.
At his current stage, he could not express his emotions or anger. He said indifferently: "What do you think about this matter?" As Qin Shihuang finished speaking, someone in the palace had been preparing for a long time, stood up, and shouted loudly
He scolded: "This is ridiculous!" Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Li Si, the Tingwei, who was furious and yelled at the doctor at the end of the palace.
"We are speaking according to etiquette and law, how can Tingwei talk about absurdity!" Chunyu Yue cocked his head, not afraid of Li Si, and confronted him tit for tat.
Zhao Tuo had already suspected Li Si's move, so he was not surprised. But he couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw Chunyu Yue's courage and courage to argue with Li Si.
"Historically, it was Chunyu Yue who dared to scold Zhou Qingchen for flattery in front of the emperor and let the emperor continue to do feudal things. In the end, it was Chunyu Yue who triggered the burning of books across the country. This man is really bold and iron-headed." Seeing Chunyu Yue come forward to respond.
, Li Si opened his mouth and asked: "Etiquette? I think what you said are all the methods of the ancestors. You often cite the good governance of the three generations to prove it, right?"
"This is the case. It is unheard of to say that things can last long without following the ancient methods. Only by learning the methods of the previous kings can the country be long-lasting. If you change the ancient system without authorization, you may suffer disaster." Chunyu Yue raised his head and spoke.
There is something in the words, which is an insinuation of the affairs of the previous county.
This made Zhao Tuo even more speechless. He quietly glanced at the emperor on the couch and saw his expressionless face, which made people feel chilled.
If it had been an emperor with poor concentration, he might have been furious. Li Si continued to ask: "Since it is the method of learning from the ancestors of the kings and leading to the good governance of three generations, then I would like to ask what the etiquette is for people with the same surname who do not marry.
Is it the Xia Dynasty? Is it the Shang Dynasty? Or is it the Zhou Dynasty?" Chunyu Yue frowned, but still replied: "It is the Duke of Zhou who made the rituals and taught them to the princes of the world."
"Haha, it turns out that it is the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. To us, this is indeed the ancient king. But since you talk about the good governance of the three generations, why don't the people of Zhou Dynasty learn from the methods of Xia and Shang!" At this point,
At that time, Li Si said loudly: "I once heard that Xia and Shang did not mind the marriage of the same surname, until the Zhou people did not follow the methods of the previous kings and changed the politics of Xia and Shang. For thousands of years since ancient times, the two dynasties of Xia and Shang have
If there are intermarriages with the same surname, why are there any differences?"
"Since you say that the rule of the country should be learned from the laws of the ancestors, why don't you learn from the marriage system of Xia and Shang, but instead follow the Zhou etiquette that has been modified from the laws of the ancestors and not followed the ancients?"
