The Zhao Guan family went too far, there was no doubt that they went too far.
There are some words that should not be said so early even in a place outside the country, in the so-called political secret room. Especially Uncle Zhao is really sincere... In fact, according to the political correctness of these days, Uncle Zhao is called
There is no difference between righteousness and sincerity, but Zhao Jiu seems to be particularly deviant.
But on the other hand, does Zhao Jiu regret it?
Even if you say you regret it, you regret it; if you say you don’t regret it, you don’t regret it either.
What he regretted was that he could openly say such things to Zhao Shi? It showed that he was drifting, so he immediately reflected on himself. He could not indulge in the feeling of being a single man just because he had the military power, so unscrupulous, so frivolous,
How similar is he to someone like Zhao Ji?
What he didn't regret was that this was his sincere thought. He just looked down on the officials of the Song Dynasty and regarded the Second Sage as the culprit of the Jingkang Incident, rather than a victim.
So, let's just say it, this is not the first time that he has cut off the legs of this broken chair under his butt. At worst, he can just put some bricks on it and continue to sit on it... It's not like Zhao Jiu is willing to wear it or sit on it.
!
Since I came out of the well, I have been on tenterhooks all day long, with my head tied to my waistband. After all, I didn't eat any ice and snow, I only ate ice cream.
So, with this mentality, after offering incense, Zhao Guan's family stayed in the Shaolin Temple for half a day. They probably inspected the Sutra Pavilion, the wall-faced cave and other cultural relics, and then, for the sake of the great monks' exquisite Buddhist teachings, they wrote the inscriptions in their own hands
After reading the four words "Punch Out of Shaolin", I rested for the night and then went down the mountain.
By the way, not to mention that Zhao Jiu has a gangster mentality, but that the unparalleled and loyal Uncle Zhao came down the mountain with the official guard of honor, but naturally he was in a complicated mood, unlike others... In the end, this new official still hurt the old uncle.
However, after much thought, the old uncle was helpless.
Because it is an official family.
It must be known that after the Song Dynasty lasted for more than a hundred years, the so-called Zhao and Song Dynasty official families suffered from the cultural impact of the common people caused by the population explosion, so that some of their auras were no longer there, ranging from the prime ministers and relatives of the emperor to the common people.
Everyone can discuss and evaluate the emperor of Zhao and Song. Of course, everyone can also discuss the chief minister and the emperor's relatives. On the other hand, they have to admit that according to the ancestral family law of Zhao and Song, the power of the official family of Zhao and Song is also
More and more prosperous.
It's like the Supreme Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji who was despised by someone. Everyone knows that he is frivolous. Everyone knows that he can do anything except state affairs. Everyone knows that the six thieves around him are hateful. Even the six thieves are not the only ones who are hateful.
, everyone also knew that Hua Shigang was a scourge, which caused a large-scale civil uprising in the southeast... However, before the Jin people came, did anyone stop him from running to Master Li?
In fact, in the eyes of the old uncle, the current Zhao Guan family, who disrespected his ancestors, father and brothers, and the Emperor Taishang Daojun whom he disrespected were almost modeled after each other... both were typical.
The frivolous and rebellious king!
However, so what?
At that time, no one could stop Emperor Taishang Daojun. Now, would it be useful and would it end well if he, a distant uncle with a sensitive status, was asked to discuss this kind of issue?
Officials, officials, what rules do you really think can control people?
If it could be controlled, how did the Song Dynasty end up where it is today?
Even if Zhao Jiu knew what the imperial uncle was thinking, he would probably have to sigh in private... If the official family can be controlled by the system, then how did Yue Fei die?
And after doing things like Feng Bo Pavilion, did Han Shizhong rebel? Or did Emperor Zhao, who was willing to give his whole family as security for Yue Fei, rebel?
No matter how deviant and shameless Zhao Jiu is, can he really compare to Zhao Ji and his son in the original history?
Why did he, who only scolded his father and brother a few times in private, be ridiculous and bully an honest person?
All in all, probably out of gratitude for this, Imperial Uncle Zhao Shi could not help but feel disheartened, so as soon as he arrived at Dengfeng County at the foot of the mountain, he prepared to write a memorial, said he was ill, and left first. From then on, he did not care about government affairs and only guarded the ancestral temple.
.
However, at this moment, Zhao Guanjia actually sent a message first, saying that he originally wanted to go to the Eight Tombs in Luoyang to pay tribute, but he had been ill for the past few days and was sad when he saw the tomb.
Shi? As a blessing envoy, he formally went to the Eight Tombs in Luoyang to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings on behalf of the emperor.
This appointment that said not to liquidate was a compromise or a stubborn decision made Uncle Zhao even more powerless... He wanted to give up his son, but what if his ancestors really didn't get the sacrifice after giving up his son?
In desperation, he put away the original memorial claiming to be sick, accepted the order, took the place of Zhao Guan's family who was pretending to be sick, and went to the Eight Tombs of Luoyang for the second time with all the emperor's guard of honor.
Academician Xiao Lin and the sergeants under Da Cui also left with him.
Not only that, a few days later, Prime Minister Lu Haowen and Minister of Rites Zhu Shengfei also received the order and acted as deputy envoys. They went to the Eight Tombs in Luoyang to join Uncle Zhao who was bathing and fasting in anticipation of the good day, and visited the Eight Tombs together.
As for Zhao Jiu himself, he took Mrs. Wu, Yang Yizhong and a few Banzhi to temporarily stay in Niugao's army near Dengfeng City, preparing to survive this period of time.
And it was here that the official finally learned that Yue Fei's wife went south and married a sergeant of Han Shizhong's army at an early age.
Yue Fei handled this matter without any problems. He asked a close sergeant in the army who knew his wife to bring 500 guan to Han Shizhong, and then he was speechless.
This was the end of something that was quite embarrassing at first.
After all, this matter involves the privacy of the general, and neither party made it public, so Zhao Guan's family found out a little late, and he didn't say anything about Yue Fei's treatment... Only when this matter came to Zhao Jiu's ears, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Something happened.
"There are many people from Hebei in the army. Are there many such things?" After Zhao Jiu got to know a little bit, he naturally asked Yang Yizhong who was delivering the news.
"Many." Yang Yizhong thought for a moment and then answered affirmatively. "But most of them buy and sell on their own initiative. It is rare for Mrs. Yue to leave her husband's family first and then find a place for herself."
"What is active buying and selling?" Zhao Jiu was slightly startled.
"It's like a couple rarely separated. When they cross the river, they are destitute and have no possessions. In order to make a living, they pawn off their wives."
"Husband sells wife?"
"It's a couple selling their wives together..." Yang Yizhong explained briefly. "And they are usually sold alive."
"What is selling alive?"
"It means that the relationship between husband and wife is not over, but only for a short period of time. When they sell out, they either become a concubine or a servant, and there is a certain amount and number of years. Then either the husband raises money to exchange for it, or he becomes a servant.
When a wife returns home at the end of her term, she can get back together again... but it is often much cheaper to sell her dead alive." At this point, Yang Yizhong added. "Many times, women who take the initiative to sell their wives alive often don't need money, but just need big money.
They were allowed to take their children there and feed them."
Zhao Jiu was stunned.
"Of course, there is also a special case of selling alive." Yang Yizhong was already careful, but he had to say everything. "That is a variable amount, as long as you sell it to someone to give birth to a child, it is a lease to give birth to a child.
It means...the contract will be deemed to have expired when the child is one month old."
"You mean, my imperial sergeant... also had such a thing happen?" Zhao Jiu finally came back to his senses, and his eyebrows became obviously ferocious.
"The officials." Yang Yizhong became more cautious. "I must let the officials know that this matter involves two levels..."
"Tell me."
"On the first floor, concubines are bought and sold. This has been the case for hundreds of years. It is not limited to this time, nor is it limited to the army. It is the law of the Tang Dynasty. Then the emperors and Song Dynasties inherited the Tang law and it has been passed down to this day. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi changed his concubines every three years. In this dynasty,
Dasu's bachelor also sold his concubines for horses, and Bao Longtu's concubine became pregnant, but she still sent him away... Even Han Taiwei's three wives and concubines were originally bought... The root of this kind of thing lies in the system and law." Yang
Yizhong was careful and correct. "As for the saying that the refugees in Hebei sell their wives, the root cause is that the refugees are extremely poor. If they don't sell their wives, they have to sell their children. If they don't sell their children, they have to sell their own people as slaves."
"What you said is on point." Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, but then shook his head slightly. "But this matter is still inappropriate, so we should stop it... Tell Xianggong Lu not to go to sacrifice, and just let him come here."
ps: Thank you to the 68th cute yoyowalker classmate. Have you gone out for a walk today?
To be honest, today was a bit hectic and rushed. I am still affected and I am really not in the mood to type... Sorry.
