"What about the prince? The prince in the previous Sui Dynasty was Yang Yong, and the one who finally became the emperor was Yang Guang. Isn't Prince Yin also a prince, but the one who succeeded him in the end was the current majesty. Is the prince infallible?"
Hu Changcheng smiled and continued: "There are so many lessons learned from the past. As long as we stimulate the prince's sense of crisis with a little guidance, he will naturally feel uneasy. And only by having his own power can he feel safe. As long as we
Being able to contact the Crown Prince, based on the relationship between His Highness and the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will definitely need His Highness’s help if he wants to develop his power. With the name of His Highness the Crown Prince, are you afraid that no one will support you?”
Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "So, I'm going to meet my niece-in-law."
…
"Sir, these gloves are so easy to use and so warm to wear." Chunyue said with a smile.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. To reward you, I will take you to Chang'an for a walk."
"Really?" Chunyue and Yuhe were excited.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Of course it's true. You go change clothes, and I'll give parents a pair of gloves. When we get back, we'll set off."
"Thank you, sir." Chunyue and Yuhe went to change clothes excitedly.
Lin Xuan gave two pairs of gloves to his parents and told them how to use them.
The two of them were so curious that they took off their clothes and took them off again.
"By the way, you didn't ask anyone to do it for Duoduo?" Zhang Qing asked.
"She doesn't go out, so what's the use of this thing?" Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Qing glanced at Lin Xuan and said angrily: "Don't you need it at home? She's so naughty, she won't stay in the house all the time."
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone make one for her later, that's all." Lin Xuan said quickly.
"Xuan'er, Duoduo told me yesterday that she wanted to give herself a name. What name would you give a girl?" Lin Dongyang complained.
Although Lin Dongyang's words were somewhat discriminatory against women, Zhang Qing didn't say anything.
Girls are usually given only one nickname when they are born. This is also the reason why in ancient times, when asked about a girl's name, she would always give her maiden name.
Of course, this is not absolute. Rich families will still name their girls, and even choose the characters.
Lin Xuan asked curiously: "What name does Duoduo want to give herself?"
Lin Duoduo has been studying hard for only half a year. Lin Xuan didn't expect that she would even name herself.
"She said she read a passage in some Book of Songs, which said that there was a beautiful person, clear and graceful. She said that from now on she would be called Wanxi." Lin Dongyang said.
"Lin Wanxi? Not bad." Lin Xuan nodded.
"I want you to persuade her, why don't you let her do whatever you want." Lin Dongyang said angrily.
Don't think that choosing a girl's name is not a big deal.
Take Empress Changsun as an example. Many people in later generations believe that Empress Changsun's full name is Changsun Wugao.
But in fact, this is just speculation by later generations, and the full name of Empress Changsun is not recorded in the history books.
In ancient times, most women did not have their own names, but they would clearly state their surnames to comply with the human ethics rule of "no marriage with the same surname".
When many women prepare to get married, they add "Ji", "E", "Niang", etc. after their surname, or add an order between their surname and their mother.
For example: Gongsun Auntie, Sun Erniang, Hu Sanniang, Huang Siniang, Zhao Wuniang, Xin Shisiniang, etc.
These are not real names.
For example, before Wu Zetian became emperor, her nickname was Meiniang. After she ascended the throne, she named herself Wu Zhao (zhao).
It means that the sun and moon are in the sky and shining on the earth.
As for why she was called Wu Zetian, it has something to do with Wu Zetian's last words before her death.
Wu Zetian had a will: "Go to the temple, return to the mausoleum, remove the imperial title, and be called Queen Zetian."
In ancient times, women had no names, which had something to do with their low status.
Another reason is that naming women was not of much use at the time.
A woman's name cannot be told before she gets married. After she gets married, her husband's surname is added to the surname and she is called a surname, which is equivalent to their given name.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Some families will still name girls, and some who value it will even give it a prefix.
Some women also choose words for themselves.
However, Lin Dongyang was just a businessman before. Although Lin Xuan is now a knight, some of his ideas have not changed and he feels that there is no need for women to have names.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Dad, our family is also a Hou family after all. What's wrong with Duoduo's name?"
Lin Dongyang then remembered that his family was already a noble family, so it was no big deal to give him a name, so he didn't object anymore.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Lin Xuan resigned and left.
Back in their yard, Chunyue and Yuhe had already changed their clothes.
Lin Xuan asked people to prepare a carriage and took them to Chang'an.
As the New Year approaches, Chang'an becomes increasingly lively, with long queues forming at the city gate.
Chunyue and Yuhe rarely go out, but they finally arrived in Chang'an. They were very excited, opened a gap in the curtains, and looked outside curiously.
In ancient times, class divisions were very serious. If ordinary people wanted to enter the city, they could only enter through the side doors on both sides.
The middle gate can only be accessed by officials and nobles.
When Lin Xuan and his party arrived at the city gate, a group of officers escorted a man and were showing proof to the gate guard, so they blocked the city gate.
Cao Hu was about to step forward to clear the way, but Lin Xuan stopped him.
There was nothing urgent for him, so there was no harm in waiting.
Lin Xuan was a little curious about the person being escorted.
He was escorted by officials and put in shackles. It was obvious at a glance that he had committed a serious crime.
The average person is either very panicked or already numb.
But no matter what the situation is, the prisoner should be honest.
But this person didn't, and instead looked around.
When I saw Lin Xuan, I looked at him a few times.
Lin Xuan also saw the other party's appearance clearly.
He looks very handsome in his thirties.
His eyes were very calm, showing no fear of being behind bars or confusion about the future.
Lin Xuan felt a "fearless" aura in him.
This momentum is very strange.
Either he has a way to escape, or he really has no fear of life or death.
Lin Xuan summoned Cao Hu and explained a few words.
At this moment, the city gate guard finished checking and let them in.
Lin Xuan and his party followed and entered Chang'an City.
The city gate guards all knew Lin Xuan and did not stop them at all.
After entering the city, the group of officers escorted the prisoner toward the Ministry of Punishment.
They should be sent to the Penal Department Prison.
Lin Xuan and his party went to West Market.
Although the things in the East Market are better, in terms of variety, the West Market is the best.
Cao Hu quietly left the team.
Although the soldiers noticed it, they didn't ask any more questions.
Arriving at the West Market, Chunyue and Yu He got off the carriage, leaving a few soldiers to guard the carriage and horses. Lin Xuan took the two of them for a stroll.
When they arrived, Lin Xuan asked the soldiers to change into civilian clothes. When the incident spread, Zhang Dayong was followed behind Lin Xuan.
Even so, Lin Xuan and his party also attracted a lot of attention.
There is no way, most of the people who come to the West Market are civilians. They are usually exposed to wind and sun, and lack of dress, so there are not many beautiful ones.
Although Chunyue and Yuhe are just maids, except for serving Lin Xuan, their treatment in other aspects is not inferior to that of other ladies.
Plus, she was specially dressed up when she arrived, so she naturally attracted countless looks.
Chunyue and Yuhe secretly looked at Lin Xuan and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Xuan was not angry.
Lin Xuan naturally didn't care. The women around him were eye-catching, and the men all had a sense of pride.
