Tang Shijin didn't say anything more, and leaned lazily in his arms and said to him: "Have you noticed that the late emperor was not good at anything, but he was just lucky enough to make the country like this, but he lived a very peaceful life?
It just happened here with you."
"That's not true," Yan Baiwei said with a smile: "The first ten or so years were really peaceful. That was because we had a good foundation and could not do bad things for a while. After that... things never stopped. It was the year we met.
, you don’t know that there is still war going on along the coast of Qingzhou?”
Tang Shijin was surprised and said: "Is this so?"
"Hmm." Yan Baiwei said: "Or else Qi Jiguang wrote so many military books in a dream?"
He paused for a moment: "The reason why you think it's coming out at this time is mainly because we have started to do business, and there are no more people who are confused and half-hearted, so many problems have been discovered and exposed.
"
Tang Shijin thought for a moment and nodded: "You're right. Besides, the position I'm standing on is different, so I can see more things."
Yan Baiwei liked it very much when the two of them cuddled together and chatted, and their voices were particularly gentle: "Yes."
She remembered and gossiped to him: "Do you know that the Jurchen...Tatar people have a custom of having wives and stepmothers?"
Yan Baiwei said: "Wife and stepmother? What do you mean?"
Tang Shijin said: "How does that sentence come from, 'Marry without regard to race; if the father dies, the wife will be the wife of the stepmother; if the brother dies, the wife will be the wife of the sister-in-law.'"
Yan Baiwei said speechlessly: "Really?"
Tang Shijin nodded: "This is called stepmarriage."
The Jurchens do have this custom. They cannot marry outside the ethnic group. If their father dies, they marry their father's concubine. If their brother dies, they marry his brother's wife.
Because the living environment of nomadic people is harsh and the mortality rate is high, women are precious reproductive resources. Doing so will help strengthen the ethnic group... This is even a tribal responsibility and family responsibility, which needs to be observed by everyone.
After Genghis Khan died, his sons Chagatai and Ogedai competed for his beloved concubine, Mugehadun.
Even Nurhachi himself and his beloved concubine Abahai were hooking up with his second son Daishan?
This custom was abolished as soon as Huang Taiji arrived.
This kind of thing is absolutely unethical and treasonous if left to the Han people. Anyone who does this kind of thing publicly can be scolded on paper for a thousand years, but among them, it is very common and commonplace.
things.
Yan Baiwei sighed: "So calling them barbarians is not an injustice to them."
Tang Shijin nodded.
She asked him again: "Have the master's orders been finalized?"
"about there."
Tang Shijin said: "Then tomorrow I have to ask them to issue a notice quickly, get the Anmin book out first, and finalize the affairs of the branch."
As she spoke, she stood up and said, "I'll write a reply to Ling'er first."
Yan Baiwei said: "Ask someone to pass two copies of the pen and ink, and I will also write a letter."
So the two of them crowded on a small table, each finished writing the letter and sent it out.
The next day, Jiang Bi'an came into the palace.
He is now the prince's young master. Although Tianbao is still young and has not yet learned martial arts, with this status, he and Zhang Juzheng still have to go to the palace from time to time to pay greetings and talk to His Highness the prince.
At this time, the trial of the Jianghu people had been completed. Tang Shijin went out to take a look. The notice written by Momorokuro had also been posted, and the notice requesting the establishment of a branch was also written and was just waiting to be issued.
When Tang Shijin came back, he saw Jiang Bi'an and Tianbao standing in the hall, three feet apart, staring at each other, neither of them speaking.
Tianbao is such a little brat, but he actually handles it well.
Tang Shijin suppressed a smile, then walked over and said, "It must be safe."
Jiang Bi'an bowed politely, and Tang Shijin showed him the notice. Jiang Bi'an said, "I know this. The people from each department were selected before Yao Ling left."
Tang Shijin said: "What I mean is that this branch is in charge of Jianghu affairs. There will definitely be cases. You can take the people you have on hand and see if you can pick out some who have the ability in this area and then put them down. It's like this.
The cases are tried directly on the spot, there is no need to send the big cases to the capital for custody."
Jiang Bian thought for a while: "How much?"
Tang Shijin said: "The more, the better! At least you have to ensure that there are two, three, four, five or six in one branch, right?"
Jiang Bi'an asked: "How much do you want?"
I haven't talked to him for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable with his speaking style.
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Forty or fifty come first!"
Jiang Bi'an nodded: "Then I'll go back and pick them out, and put them down together with those people."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Originally, Tianbao had always been very attached to her. When the two of them were talking, Tianbao looked at her carefully and hesitated whether to come over. Then after Jiang Bian glanced at him, Tianbao decisively turned around and ran away, which made Tang Shijin laugh.
One sound.
Then she said to him: "You choose these people carefully. They must be strict-tongued and steady. Lu Zong is the best. I have put Lin'er down for so long, and it has achieved some results. When the time comes, this person will
To deal with Lin'er's group of people, we must have reliable people."
Jiang Bian snorted.
She added: "But don't put Lu Zong down. Ling'er is not here. If something happens, you must be in the capital. You must have people around you who you can use and who you can trust."
He nodded.
She continued: "Also, at the beginning of spring, Jinyiwei is preparing to recruit. You go and help Chen Sifang to draw up an agreement, and then send it up as soon as possible."
This is her or Qi Yaoling's job, but Qi Yaoling is not here. Now Jinyiwei is dispatched everywhere, and the number of people is much smaller. Moreover, Lei Xiao and Mu Xingzhao have been transferred away successively. Now Jinyiwei doesn't even have a serious commander, only Chen
There are a thousand households in the four directions, and he will temporarily take over his duties.
Jiang Bi'an said: "Isn't Ban Xiaoming back?"
Tang Shijin shook his head: "Ban Xiaoming is just coming back to celebrate the New Year, and he has to go out with Prince Ping next year, so I can't decide. In fact, I think Chen Sifang is a pretty good person, mature and prudent. I just want you to get in touch.
If you think the person is okay, give him a deputy commander, otherwise, just transfer someone else to him, you can't leave him vacant forever."
Jiang Bi'an still nodded.
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand: "Okay, just these few things, it's okay."
Jiang Bian stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first."
Tang Shijin hummed and asked him: "By the way, why is Tianbao so afraid of you?"
"I don't know," Jiang Bian said calmly, "I didn't do anything."
Tang Shijin laughed out loud, then strolled away with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Bi'an watched from a distance and saw her going over to hold her son's little hand, and then they entered the room talking to each other.
The corners of his mouth curved.
He actually quite likes the little prince. He looks so much like her that when he gets petty, his big eyes always remind him of that bold and daring little girl back then. She was so cute.
