Chapter nine hundred and seventy-two: the best of both worlds
Many widows in the capital who were guarding their husband's tablets were inevitably moved after hearing this, and they tried to take the step of remarrying.
The couples of poor families are still different from those of high-ranking officials and nobles. Almost all of poor families are blindly married and mute. Most people work hard for their livelihood and for the continuous bloodline. The couple can have a long-term relationship...
Not many people are so deeply dependent on life and death.
Moreover, even if a couple has feelings, men will feel that life is difficult after losing their wives. Without anyone to accompany them, they will marry again. When a woman loses her husband, she needs to be loyal to her until she dies. How many women are angry but helpless.
Now there is a new way to rely on it. They are thinking about taking the step bravely for the sake of their children that they cannot raise, or for not wanting to endure loneliness. Some people have already taken the courage to discuss the remarriage with their mother's family first.
After Bai Qing said that he would argue with the students of the Imperial College and deal with the Bai clan elder who had to sink his daughter-in-law to the pond, the new law gradually accelerated.
The nobles in the capital were moved by the wind and let their widowed daughter-in-law go back to their mother's house to promise to remarry.
Dong Changyuan seized the opportunity and became irritated with the matchmakers in the capital. He asked the matchmaker to focus on being a matchmaker for the widow and make a marriage, so he rewarded the matchmaker with three gold medals.
For a time, the widow became a hot partner, especially when she was young and was still in the age of giving birth, and was almost broken by the matchmaker.

Li Zhijie felt very uneasy when he saw the Great Zhou in full swing of the new law.
Since Bai Qingyan ascended the throne to the present, the Great Zhou court has not given a clear reply. Whether it is... the alliance with Rongdi or the alliance with Xiliang, both sides are dragged on.
Moreover, if the ghost-faced prince from Xiliang doesn't leave, Li Zhijie doesn't dare to leave...
On the soft couch, Li Zhijie supported the hidden bag of ginger embroidered acacia flowers on his elbow, staring at the gauze curtain swaying gently in the wind, knocking his palms with a fan, and his eyebrows were cold: "We have already
It has been eighteen days since I came to Dadu City, and it has been eighteen days since the Empress of the Great Zhou ascended the throne, but the alliance cannot be settled so far. What suggestions do you have?"
The Xiliang counselors brought by Li Zhijie sat on both sides of Li Zhijie, and were obviously helpless about this matter.
"I heard that this Lord Liu Rushi, who was in charge of the peace talks, handed over the generous gift that the prince sent to him that day to Taiwei Lu. He looked very stubborn."
"Isn't this Lord Liu gathered our envoys of Xiliang and Rongdi envoys together, just to get the covenant with the higher price? But now we in Xiliang are willing to cede twenty cities, and pay countless treasures.
The Zhou girl has been slow to establish an alliance with us, but I think... the Empress of the Great Zhou seems to intend to intervene when the war between Xiliang and Rongdi begins!" The strategist around Li Zhijie analyzed.
"If this is true, we should return to our country immediately and live and die with Xiliang!" Another Xiliang adviser said.
Li Zhijie paused the movement of tapping his palm with a fan, pursed his lips and spoke: "Don't worry, send someone back to deliver a letter to His Majesty, and said that the Great Zhou seemed to have no intention of establishing an alliance with us in Xiliang, and the Great Zhou had not yet
If we get the exact news, we can’t leave!”
The oldest strategist around Li Zhijie spoke to Li Zhijie: "The prince may be able to meet the ninth prince of Dayan. If the Zhou Dynasty really wants to attack Xiliang with Rongdi in the end, see if Dayan wants to.
It is the west of Jin State to restrain the Great Zhou."
Li Zhijie thought of this method as early as the day after Bai Qingyan's ascension ceremony, but... this is a method that can only be used as a last resort.
Li Zhijie, who had deep eyebrows, put down the fan in his hand and picked up the teacup, pursed his lips and said nothing. Obviously, he didn't want to use this trick yet.
"Prince, in my opinion, it is better to go straight to the ghost-faced prince of Rong Di. Rong Di actually has no deep hatred with us Xiliang. If you want to attack Xiliang, it is probably just like the prince before. You want Rong Di to form a formation as soon as possible.
The situation of the three kingdoms of Dazhou and Dayan was in harmony." Seeing that Li Zhijie did not object, the strategist continued, "They were nothing more than to grab territory. We gave all the land that had been ceded to Dazhou to Rongdi.
A chance to breathe, strive to delay the three-year period of the Dayan and Rongdi alliance! When the alliance with Rongdi is established, if Rongdi comes to attack Xiliang again, it will be unreasonable. When we go back, we will ask Yan State for help.
It's natural!"
Li Zhijie raised his eyes, his eyes became colder and colder: "According to what you mean, it is better for us, Xiliang to pay tribute to Dayan... Isn't it safer?"
Seeing that Li Zhijie was talking slander, the adviser quickly knelt down and apologized: "My subordinates were speechless..."
"Get up!" Li Zhijie said calmly, put down the teacup and sat up, "I went to personally ask for a meeting with the Queen of Great Zhou. This time, the Queen of Great Zhou must give us a correct statement to Xiliang, and decided to fight with the Queen of Great Zhou...
…It’s better to talk with each other and then discuss solutions.”
"The prince is wise!" The strategists bowed to Li Zhijie.
Li Zhijie didn't think he was wise. Xiliang's strength is too weak now...
When the late emperor was alive, Xiliang was in great strength and he realized that he could compete with Jin. Although Li Zhijie had advised him, the late emperor insisted on attacking Jin with Nanyan, but the result was... He took more than a dozen Xiliang.
All the elite troops were turned on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and the people of Xiliang were trembling when they heard the name of the Bai family army.
That battle made Xiliang decline from prosperity and has not yet recovered.
If there was no war in southern Xinjiang, why would Xiliang be afraid of Rongdi now?!

Liu Rushi was sitting at Bai Qingyan's lower head and reported to Bai Qingyan about the establishment of an alliance with Rongdi and Xiliang.
Bai Qingyan took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself, put the bamboo slips in his hand aside, and listened carefully to Liu Rushi's words.
"Although the subordinates followed His Majesty's instructions and did not reply to whom Rongdi and Xiliang have made an alliance with, but... it is not appropriate to drag it on like this. After all, diplomatic relations between the two countries are not a joke." Liu Rushi has always been fearless, so he was very worried.
The courageous words to Bai Qing, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty has a deep hatred with Xiliang Yun, but... for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the conditions given by Xiliang are indeed beneficial to our Great Zhou, Your Majesty may not be able to do so.
Consider it!"
Wei Zhong personally served tea to Liu Rushi, stepped aside, and whispered to the eunuch to raise the wicks in the palace.
"We, Wanquan, can wait until Xiliang and Rongdi are both injured before the fisherman will benefit..." Liu Rushi was afraid that Bai Qingyan would not be able to let go of the hatred of the Bai family, so he said, "It is only too late to establish an alliance with Xiliang.
One or two years, it can weaken the forces of Rongdi and Xiliang! At that time, our Great Zhou will send troops again... we can avoid fearless casualties of soldiers. I think this is the best of both worlds."
