"This..." The old spider man began to sing along with Wu Qiudao.
The old spider man frowned and said: "The underground terrain is special, and there has never been a tradition of postal delivery. Usually, the spies below pass the information to the Shangshu Department, and the minister's servants then report the general information to the mistress and the group of elders. "
"If there is an emergency military situation, the serving fathers will also directly notify the mistress, and the mistress will decide whether to urgently contact the elders and the previous saints for discussion!"
Wu Qiudao asked curiously: "Then since the serving fathers haven't reported the military situation yet..."
The old spider man stroked his beard and thought: "If this is the case, I think: either this military information is not urgent yet, and the Ministry of Secretariat decides that it can be passed on as usual; or this urgent military information was intercepted halfway!"
"Then do you think General Qingyi lied about the urgent military information and broke into the council chamber without permission? Or did Gan Gang act arbitrarily and intercept the urgent military information and report it himself?"
Qing Yi's face turned greener and greener, he was obviously very angry and was about to have an attack.
The mistress said: "That's enough! This matter will be discussed later! Qingyi, if there is no precise military information, then let the spies step up their investigation, and I will also ask the garrison and spider slaves to strengthen their defense. If there is nothing else, you can retreat first." Get off!"
Qing Yi gritted his teeth and promised, and then said to Wu Qiudao: "Mother, Qing Yi really can't tolerate a surface person speaking nonsense in my Xiling clan's important place of discussion! In front of my Xiling family, say some fallacious and heresy that often contradicts the basic principles!"
The mistress narrowed her eyes: "So you want to restore the three cardinal principles and five constant principles among the Xiling clan?"
Qing Yi lowered his head and said: "Mother, it's not Qing Yi who says we should have principles and principles, but the Book of Rites talks about the three principles and five principles! A gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints! Shouldn't we respect saints? The teachings?”
The mistress was furious, but she couldn't argue with Qing Yi, so she turned to look at Wu Qiu and asked, "What do you think of General Qing Yi's remarks?"
Wu Qiudao smiled coldly: "I wonder if you know why close relatives can't get married?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the topic had jumped here.
Wu Qiudao smiled slightly, knowing that the ancients did not know how to do it. Look at Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, they are cousins and cousins all day long, but it will be solved in one sentence for later generations: "She is your cousin, you cannot get married! Within three generations It is illegal to marry close relatives!”
The embroiderer suddenly said: "I know! "Zuo Zhuan" said that 'men and women with the same surname will not be born together'; "Guoyu" said that 'if you have the same surname, you will not marry, because you will not reproduce'; "Spring and Autumn Biography" also said, 'Don't marry someone with the same surname. , attach importance to human ethics, prevent sexual misconduct and become like animals'!"
What? Did ancient people understand this too? Wu Qiudao's pretense was broken halfway and he almost vomited blood.
"Little sir, what will happen if my Xiling family is born in a consanguineous marriage?" the mistress asked.
"It's very simple! The probability of early death from deformities is much higher if a child is born between close relatives. From ancient times to the present, the royal family has the best medical security, but why is the survival rate of newborns so low? It just comes down to 'gong fight' and 'qi' It’s hard to explain luck, isn’t it?”
Qing Yi gritted his teeth and hit his chest: "No wonder, no wonder! My wife gave birth the year before last, and she gave birth to a wax demon in ten months of pregnancy. This is all the result of the incestuous marriage and childbirth of my Xiling family for thousands of years!"
"What is the wax melt demon?" Wu Qiudao asked curiously.
The embroiderer sadly explained: "The newborn fetus failed to turn into the shape of a spider. When it was born, it was like a melted candle, emitting a stench like mud. Its eight limbs were boneless and shellless, as if they were eight tentacles. They could only lie on the ground. crawl."
When Wu Qiudao heard this, he no longer joked, but listened very seriously to Xiu Niang's introduction.
In the past hundred years, there have been more and more cases where the newborn babies in the Xiling clan are weak, die young, are stupid, and even have deformities like wax demons. Some of them don't even have the upper body of a humanoid, so they can't even become spider slaves. He was left to fend for himself outside the clan before he was even a minor.
Wu Qiudao sighed: "Although I have not read "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan", at least the point of 'no marriage with the same surname' has its basis in reality."
In order to avoid the negative consequences of intra-clan marriage, ancient clans had to switch to out-of-clan group marriage. Under group marriage, children could only identify their biological mother, but not their biological father, so the clan could only be maintained through matrilineal blood.
"Isn't it strange, everyone? Why are so many mothers of ancient emperors conceived through induction? Where did their fathers go?" Wu Qiudao asked soul torture.
Hua Xu gave birth to Mi Xi; female Deng gave birth to Shennong; Fu Bao gave birth to Huang Di; Nv Jie gave birth to Shaohao; Nv Jie gave birth to Emperor Ku; Nv Shu gave birth to Zhuan Xu; Qingdu gave birth to Tang Yao; Nv Deng gave birth to Yu Shun; Jian Di gave birth to Qi; Jiang Yuan was the queen. Ji; the great cause of female seminarians.
If you really want to count them from the ancient books, then all of the mothers of the ancient human emperors really possessed the art of glaring pregnancy! They stepped on footprints, met shooting stars, saw rainbows, and even got glared at by a passing dragon. Can get pregnant!
Qing Yi's face darkened and he said, "There's nothing surprising about this! "The Legend of Gongyang" says, 'All saints have no father, they are born in gratitude to heaven'!"
"Everything you said is correct. I won't argue with you, but I will ask you a question. Why did most of the surnames in ancient times have a female character next to them? Even the word 'surname' itself has a female character next to it!" Wu Ask for the truth.
"That's it, that's it!" The mistress's eyes gradually brightened, "Not most of them, but the eight major surnames in ancient times: Ji, Jiang, Si, Ying, Gui, Gui, Yao, and Si, all have the prefix "female" next to them! These are all Remains of ancient matrilineal clan customs.”
Wu Qiudao smiled. Engels told us in "Family, Private Ownership and the Origin of the State" that it is still the same old saying, the mode of production determines the production relations, and the economic base determines the superstructure! If you have money in your pocket, you will have a strong waist!
Wu Qiudao talked about it: "In primitive societies where tools were not developed enough, there were only two sources of food for clans to survive: gathering, and fishing and hunting!"
The stronger males go out to hunt and fish, while the weaker females collect plants near their nests.
Compared with fishing and hunting, collecting plants takes very little time, so the logistical work that requires carefulness and patience, such as organizing shelters, protecting fires, and raising children, is left to women. When the men return home with a full load, they will naturally obey and pay more attention to the nest. Familiar women arranged it.
"After hearing this, have you noticed that, without realizing it, those who hold leadership positions in the entire clan lair seem to have all become women?" Wu Qiudao looked at the silent meeting hall.
Even Qing Yi couldn't say more. Wu Qiudao's "Matrilineal Clan" theory originated from later generations is based on production theory, modern technology and systematic archeology. It also secretly changed the concept and forcibly stitched it together, so this cross-era The war of words was obviously a crushing victory!
After a moment of silence, the mistress said: "That is to say, in ancient times, women were in power in Zhuxia! But now, the environment that our Xiling clan is in is so similar to the ancient 'matriarchal clan'? They eat too much and eat too little. , men can only go out to hunt, and women can cultivate mulberry trees inside.”
"So, in our Xiling clan, it is only natural and right for the mistress to be in charge of the government, following the example of our ancestors!"
