Chapter 174 Rights are locked in the cage of the system
This story attached to the post of political affairs was designed by Xu Qing to make it more interesting. In the future, you might be able to recruit a professional script writer to create a serial story module behind the short story and write the serial story directly in the newspaper.
, is expected to further increase sales.
The first story was written by Xu Qing and was adapted from the marriage story of Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. This story was printed in two newspapers of different specifications.
From Xu Qing's point of view, most newspapers are still aimed at the public. Even if the majority of people in Yongzhou City are literate, the stories that have boosted sales in the first few issues cannot be designed to be too complicated, just simple and easy to understand.
Just like this story about Princess Wencheng going to Tibet to get married, tsk tsk...it's at the level of a primary school textbook, don't say there are still people who can't understand it!
Xiao Ruxue frowned after reading it, raised her head and looked at Xu Qing beside her, and said, "I don't like this story."
Xu Qing turned his head, looked at Xiao Ruxue, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Qing thought that there was nothing wrong with the story. Princess Wencheng spread the culture and farming methods of the Central Plains to Tibet, spreading the concepts of civilization and peaceful development.
This story is full of positive energy!
Xiao Ruxue said: "Why does the princess want to marry a man she has never met before and a foreigner... Her emperor father is also so cruel! He actually married his daughter so far away! This princess
And she married her willingly... I don’t like this emperor, nor do I like this princess!"
With that said, Xiao Ruxue jumped off the chair and said: "My father said that only those weak countries will rely on marriage to seek peace! And in your setting, the fictional country of the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful
Country, how can a powerful country humiliate and marry?!"
Xu Qing shook his head and explained: "You can't say that. Look, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty married his daughter to a leader in the Western Regions. Before the marriage, the monarchs of the two countries were nominally equal.
What will be the relationship between the two monarchs after that?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "It has become the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave birth to half a son out of thin air! On the surface, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty married his daughter for the friendship between the two countries, but in fact, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
I want to be his father!"
After taking a sip of boiled water to moisten his throat, Xu Qing continued: "So, whether the marriage will be humiliating or not depends on the purpose of your marriage. If this country is pursuing the marriage with the hope that another country will not invade it,
, this is undoubtedly humiliating, but the story of Princess Wencheng’s marriage is not about seeking peace, but about declaring the Tang Dynasty’s dominance over surrounding vassal countries. This is fundamentally different.”
Xiao Ruxue was thoughtful after listening, and then shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I still don't like this emperor! In order to better control the vassal country, this emperor asked his own daughter to get married, and he didn't care at all.
Princess Wencheng is my daughter! How can there be such a cruel father in the world?!"
Xiao Ruxue has been doted on by the wise king since she was born, and she gets everything she wants. Therefore, she does not understand why an emperor of a powerful country would marry his daughter to a foreigner. Compared with the wise king, this emperor is indeed cruel.
.
Xu Qing shook his head and explained: "It's not necessarily a real princess. In fact, more marriages in history did not choose real princesses to marry. They either recognized a palace maid as their daughter and named her a princess, married the palace maid, or never married her.
Other princes and other families want a daughter to be named a princess and then marry her. There are actually very few cases in history where the princess was actually married off."
After hearing this, Xiao Ruxue retorted: "No, that's not the case. My great-grandfather was the founding emperor of Chu. My father said that at that time, Chu was weak and the country was not peaceful, so the two princesses were really killed.
Married and kissed. They are not palace maids or prince's daughters or anything like that... they are real princesses..."
Haha, is there such a thing? Should Xu Qing say that the founding emperor of Chu was stupid, or should he say that he was honest? There is no trick at all, Xu Qing is really the most innocent and pure emperor he has ever seen...
As innocent and pure as a little white flower...
As Xiao Ruxue was talking, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, my father won't let me get married in the future, right?"
Xu Qing shook his head, patted Xiao Ruxue's little head and said: "Put your heart in your belly. Even if Da Chu needs a marriage, no one will ask you to go. You don't have to worry about this problem at all."
King Xian is very similar to Magistrate Su. Both of them are daughter-obsessed. They will risk their lives to kill anyone who steals their daughter from them!
Very scary!
When the day comes when the Chu Kingdom needs a marriage, it is estimated that even if the wise king marries Xiao Ye, he will not marry off Xiao Ruxue.
After all, in the eyes of the wise king, the son can be reborn, but the daughter is the only one!
Xiao Ye, the heir apparent, was really aggrieved. In the era of Da Chu, where men were generally superior to women, he had to live his life as the one with the lowest status in the family... No one would know this before, but it was also unprecedented...
What is Xiao Ruxue worried about? It is Xiao Ye who should be worried!
Xiao Ruxue sat down next to Xu Qing again and said: "Even if that day comes, I will not go to the wedding even if I die! This Princess Wencheng is really stupid. She will go to the wedding if she is asked to go, and she won't
Do you know how to run away secretly?"
Xu Qing glanced at Xiao Ruxue: "Run?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said: "Yes, if that day comes, I will run away from home so that no one can find me, and I can marry anyone who wants to."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prince loves you very much. You will not have the chance to get married. Even if there is a day of marriage, your uncle's daughter will be married off. It has nothing to do with you. This is just a story.
That’s all, you don’t need to take it too seriously.”
Xiao Ruxue nodded vigorously and said: "I knew that my father was the best to me. He would definitely not be as cruel as the emperor in the story! My father is the best father in the world!"
Xu Qing said: "Yes, even if it's Brother Xiao's turn to do this kind of thing, it won't be your turn."
At this moment, Xiao Ye walked in from the outside and said, "Brother Xu just said that it will be my turn first and then Xue'er's turn?"
Although Xiao Ye heard this sentence when he came over and had no idea what Xu Qing was talking about, this did not prevent him from being moved.
Look, Brother Xu’s heart is really towards him, did you hear that? Brother Xu just said that it would be his turn first, and it might not even be Xiao Ruxue’s turn!
Although I didn’t hear clearly what Brother Xu was talking about, every time Brother Xu brought it up, it must be something good!
Xu Qing coughed and said: "It's nothing, nothing. Is there anything wrong with Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said: "The newspaper office just said that the new issue of the newspaper has been produced. My father wanted me to take a copy to my father first to check whether there is any improper discussion of government affairs.
Then it will be distributed to the public, what does Brother Xu want?"
