Chapter 106 Arrogant Prairie Tribe, Is Taking a Concubine Also Called a Marriage?
The whole class seemed extremely quiet, although most people thought that Du Ning came to listen to the class with everyone, which was very inconsistent with the rules of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, Du Ning's achievements are there. He has accomplished things that many scholars of his generation cannot do.
Fame spread across the country, shocking the literary world.
Even if the Guoxue Palace makes an exception for him, so what?
Who is dissatisfied? Who dares to be dissatisfied?
Those who have opinions should weigh themselves before speaking. If it is a contribution to the country and the human race, the Chinese Academy of Sciences can also make an exception for it.
But if their achievements are not as good as Du Ning's, and they prevent Du Ning from coming to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to attend classes, then it is pure jealousy with ulterior motives.
Yang Bilou said to Wu Xiangwen: "If you want to withdraw from the Guoxue Palace, we respect your decision, but let me tell you that Baimei Gong can let Du Ning attend the class because the Guoxue Palace recognizes Du Ning and he is qualified to sit in this class.
As a student who attends classes with you, you cannot say that his coming to class is the greatest insult to you. You are not qualified or even worthy of saying that."
"You..."
Wu Xiangwen gritted his teeth in anger and looked at Du Ning with a bit of hostility.
What a shame! What a shame!
What Yang Bilou meant was that it was not Du Ning who insulted Wu Xiangwen, but Wu Xiangwen who insulted Du Ning.
If Guoxue Palace had to choose, it would choose Du Ning without hesitation.
Because of Du Ning's meritorious service, he made contributions to the literary world and the imperial court of Yun State.
And he, Wu Xiangwen, is just a student who has not made any merit, nothing more.
Wu Xiangwen thought his words were so grand and heroic at first, but now that he thinks about it, they are as ridiculous as a clown.
"Mr. Yang's lesson is that students should know their mistakes."
Wu Xiangwen hurriedly admitted his mistake to Yang Bilou, because if he left the Guoxue Palace in anger, he would become the laughing stock of scholars all over the world, and the people in his family would suffer humiliation, and even felt that Wu Xiangwen's head might have been kicked by a donkey.
, why did you quit the Chinese Academy of Sciences when everything was fine?
Is it because you suffered a little injustice in the Guoxue Palace? Or is it because you are full and have nothing to do?
Seeing Wu Xiangwen admitting his mistake, Yang Bilou did not pursue anything further and said to Du Ning: "You can just listen to the class here, and don't worry about others dare to gossip about you."
"Student understands, thank you very much, Mr. Yang." Du Ning handed over his hand and thanked him.
"Take a seat, we'll start class right away."
"Yes."
Du Ning nodded lightly, then randomly found an empty seat and sat down.
Wu Xiangwen turned his head again and snorted coldly, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Class begins next.
Yang Bilou recounted a semi-sage article, and Du Ning listened attentively like all the students.
…………
Imperial Palace, on the Golden Palace.
A grassland tribe delegation headed by Hu Chiyou formally paid an audience with Emperor Hongxuan.
"I, Hu Chiyou, represent the grassland tribes to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of Yun Dynasty. I wish His Majesty long live long live."
Hu Chiyou bowed slightly and placed his right hand gently on his left shoulder. This is a unique salute method of the grassland tribe.
The grassland people behind him also saluted. Although they looked very respectful, they looked at Emperor Hongxuan with unabashed ridicule in their eyes.
Some people showed displeasure, saying that Chiyou was just a prince. When meeting the emperor, he should call himself "little man" or "little king" to show his humility.
Calling himself "my king" has a superior attitude, which is clearly contempt for Emperor Hongxuan and contempt for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Hu Chiyou stood up and said loudly: "This king is coming to Beijing with ten boxes of jewelry, a hundred catties of spiritual gems and jade, a hundred night-glow pearls, a hundred cattle and sheep, a hundred sets of sweaters, a hundred pieces of cowhide, a hundred horses, and grasslands.
Ironware, special products and precious supplements are presented to Yun Dynasty to show the friendly relations between the two countries and the establishment of diplomatic relations. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval."
After finishing speaking, I took out a gift list.
"What a spiritual light gem! I heard that people from the grassland tribe often carry this, which can strengthen their bodies and protect them from all poisons."
"The night pearl is also precious, it is a priceless thing!"
"The jewelry of the prairie people has a huge market in various countries. We sent ten boxes in one go, which is such a big gesture."
The civil and military officials whispered, the things from the grassland tribe are quite valuable to the human race.
All the prairie people present showed pride.
Eunuch Feng took Hu Chiyou's gift list and presented it to Emperor Hongxuan's table.
Emperor Hongxuan did not open it to look at it, but gently put it aside.
"Thanks to your hard work for coming all the way, I also have a gift for the grassland people, Eunuch Feng, to announce the decree."
"Yes."
Eunuch Feng opened the imperial edict and read aloud: "I have received the imperial edict from heaven to return to the grassland tribe ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred pieces of brocade, one hundred sets of jade articles, one hundred catties of dragon ginseng, ten boxes of jade articles, and one hundred altars of palace wine. I hereby express my gratitude." The grassland people also changed their expressions at this moment. Silver is the common currency of the human race, but it is very rare among the grassland people.
The first sale is ten thousand taels of silver, which is simply telling the grassland people that Yun Dynasty's current treasury is full, and this little money is nothing at all.
As for brocade, it is even more remarkable. Even the royal family of the prairie tribes, few can wear comfortable clothes made of brocade.
In the grassland market, brocade and other things are very rare. They are usually brought in by some foreign businesses, and the prices are very high.
The gifts prepared by both parties are very rich.
"On behalf of the grassland people, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your generous gift."
Hu Chiyou performed a grassland salute and then said: "In addition to being a guest on behalf of the grassland tribe, this king also brought a happy event."
"Where does happiness come from?" Emperor Hongxuan asked.
Hu Chiyou smiled and said: "The barbarians and the Xiongnu teamed up to invade the Yun Kingdom. After hearing this, my father Khan was very anxious. He wished he could send a hundred thousand grassland troops to the border to help your country. However, the grassland people, the barbarians and the Xiongnu had no grudges in the past and have no grudges today.
Even if we establish diplomatic relations with your country, it is difficult to recruit unknown troops to help. Therefore, my father Khan proposed to make peace with your country. The royal families of the two countries will become in-laws. From now on, we will be brothers. In this way, it is only natural that my father Khan sends troops for the in-laws. This is
It’s a great joy.”
After the words fell, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
What? Did you hear that right? Reconciliation between the two countries?
Since the Yun Dynasty, there has never been any marriage with foreign blood.
The kings also looked at each other in disbelief. They knew that the grassland people would make an issue with the barbarians and the Huns, but they did not expect that they would propose peace between the two countries.
This is not a small matter, but a national event.
Emperor Hongxuan smiled calmly and said: "Do you want to marry the princess of the prairie tribe to my royal family? Then I have to discuss with the royal relatives which princess of the prairie tribe to marry. Huchi Khan is really serious.
."
"Presumptuous! Ridiculous!"
"Rampant! Ignorant!"
Some prairie people shouted angrily in low voices, with very angry expressions.
To actually want the princess of the Prairie Tribe to marry into the Yun Dynasty is simply a humiliation to the Prairie Tribe. There is no way the Prairie Tribe would do such a disgraceful thing to the country!
There are also some grassland people who show contempt and disdain. Who is the royal family of the Yun Kingdom? Do you want to marry the princess of the grassland tribe?
It’s really a toad that wants to eat swan meat!
Hu Chiyou's face remained as usual and he said slowly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I did not mean to marry the princess of our prairie tribe, but that I, the prince of the prairie tribe, wanted to marry the royal princess of the Yun Kingdom."
"It turns out that your prince of the Huchi family wants to marry me, the princess of the Yun Dynasty royal family. This matter is of great importance and should not be trivial. We still need to discuss it carefully." Emperor Hongxuan said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood again. All the prairie princes have their first wives."
"Oh?"
Emperor Hongxuan's expression changed slightly, "So, your prince from the prairie tribe wants to marry Princess Yun as his concubine?"
"Not a concubine, but a concubine." Hu Chiyou said proudly.
The grassland people hold their heads high and their chests high, full of pride, as if taking a princess of the Yun Kingdom as a concubine is a great reward for Yun Chaotian.
"What did you say!"
Emperor Hongxuan suddenly stood up and stared at Hu Chiyou, bursting with anger.
"Reckless and wanton!"
"The madman is rude!"
"This is simply too much!"
Not only the kings, but also the civil and military officials were all furious.
Because the status of a concubine is very low, to put it bluntly, it is just one level higher than a maid, so it is also called a concubine, which shows its status.
The royal family can have multiple wives and concubines. The head wife has the highest status, followed by the princess, and the lowest is the concubine.
"The Book of Rites" says: If the concubines jointly purchase the property, it means they share the common property at a low price.
This means that the concubine's humbleness is like a commodity and can be bought and sold.
Although that was a long time ago, and the human race's etiquette now prohibits the buying and selling of concubines, the status of concubines is still very low.
Everyone present was furious. Hu Chiyou was so arrogant that he dared to threaten the royal princess of Yun Kingdom to marry into the grassland as a concubine.
Marriage also pays attention to being well-matched. It is not shameful for a princess to marry a prince as a concubine, and she will have an upright and upright reputation.
But the status of the concubine is simply despicable. This is an insult to the country and the Mu family of Yun State!
This fucking thing is also called a marriage? This fucking thing is also called a happy event?
If this matter spreads, it will be a shame to the whole country!
"Hu Chiyou, you are so brave!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you insult my royal princess like this!"
"I respect you and call me a prince. Frankly speaking, you are just a bunch of reckless people!"
"How can I, the majestic royal princess of the Yun Kingdom, be married to a grassland tribe as a concubine? This is simply ridiculous!"
"A toad wants to eat swan meat, but a mere fool dares to bully our great country. It's ridiculous!"
The kings in the palace scolded each other one after another, and they were really angry.
The grassland people were immediately angry, but they were mentally prepared and knew that the Yun people were angry, so they would not get angry at this time.
Huchiyou raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Why is Your Majesty angry? Our grassland tribe has noble blood. How many foreign royal families are eager to marry their princesses to my Huchi tribe as concubines. Now our grassland tribe is willing to accept Princess Yunchao. It is a great thing to be my concubine and promote the establishment and development of diplomatic relations between the two countries. After the two countries make peace, wouldn't it be better if our prairie people are willing to send troops to help the Yun Kingdom and put an end to the rebellion between the barbarians and the Xiongnu?"
"Fart!"
King Yan angrily said: "It's ridiculous that some reckless people dare to say that their blood is noble in front of the Yun Dynasty! If you want to take me, the Princess of Yun Kingdom, as your concubine, let alone your mere prince, even the khan of your grassland tribe, It’s not worthy at all!”
"Well said!"
"Lord Yan is mighty!"
All the civil and military officials shouted angrily, King Yan was right, their grassland tribe was not worthy at all, and they were not qualified enough.
Everyone in the grassland tribe was furious, glaring at King Yan one by one, exuding a strong aura.
They intended to take the royal princess of the Yun Kingdom as their concubine, but the people of the Yun Kingdom actually said they were not worthy?
This made the proud grassland people feel a little unhappy, thinking that the Yun people were shameless.
Hu Chiyou was also very angry and said to King Yan: "No one has ever dared to insult our noble Huchi family like this. Even when Emperor Jingwen was on the throne, he would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of me." p>
"That's because my father is very tolerant and doesn't want to argue with you reckless people who don't understand the rules. I didn't expect that you don't know what's good and what's good, but you're just making fun of it. It can be called stupid!" King Yan said disdainfully. "You..."
Hu Chiyou's face turned green and white, "To tell you the truth, both the barbarians and the Xiongnu are willing to marry their royal princesses to my family as concubines. You should know that if our Huchi family gets married to the barbarians or the Xiongnu, what will this mean to you?
What does the national general mean?"
"Are you threatening our Yun Dynasty?" King Yan looked directly at Hu Chiyou.
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. This is a happy event for your Yun Dynasty and is good for all of us." Hu Chiyou said proudly.
The faces of the civil and military officials were ugly. Although they knew that Hu Chiyou was threatening, he did pinpoint Yun Guo's weakness.
Once the grassland tribe makes peace with other tribes, the Yun Kingdom will be attacked from three sides, and the money in the treasury will be lost at an extremely terrifying speed.
Emperor Hongxuan clenched his fists. As the king of a country, it was a great shame and humiliation to be threatened by the grassland tribe.
He simply wished he could give the order and kill Hu Chiyou and the others.
But he cannot be impulsive. If he kills people like Hu Chiyou, it will give the grassland people an excuse to send troops. By then, the country will be in a more dangerous situation. Countless Yun Kingdom cities will be lost, and tens of thousands of people will be killed.
Homeless.
Moreover, they are a missionary from the grassland people. Killing them will relieve your anger, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is someone else who came to visit you with good intentions, but you beheaded the guest. Then which country will dare to send a mission to meet you in the future?
If rumors are spread by other countries, the reputation of Yun State will be lost and it will be lost to everyone.
Therefore, no matter what kind of quarrel occurs, Emperor Hongxuan cannot touch people like Chiyou.
"Your Majesty, if you agree to the marriage of the grassland people and marry the royal princess to my Huchi family as a concubine, the royal families of our two countries will be our own, and we will definitely wipe out the barbarians and the Xiongnu army for the Yun Kingdom."
Huchiyou said arrogantly: "If you don't know how to show appreciation and are unwilling to make peace with my Huchi family, we will have no choice but to make peace with the barbarians and the Xiongnu. By then, the friendship between our two countries may come to an end." "You..."
Emperor Hongxuan was so angry that he could not say a word for a long time.
