Chapter 160: The crown prince adds a crown, who will fall into the family (2)

Wu Zetian smiled for reasons.

The Tang royal family was very fond of five surnames and seven families. Li Shimin made his family's first surname and compiled the "Clan Chronicle" and published it all over the world. However, the literati and officials of the people all regarded Gao Shilianyuan's "Clan Chronicle" as a blueprint. Li Shimin was helpless in this regard. Later, Li Yifu took back these books again and published the "Cantonese Names", which were not recognized by the people in the world, and many gentry even felt ashamed of being listed above.

This is a big fact.

The younger one is Li Yuan repeatedly told people that my family is from the Li family in Longxi, but the Li family is immediately heard. Although you Li family is a royal family, you are not qualified to be our tribe members. Our Li family has nothing to do with you. That's what it means, anyway, one has a hot face and the other has a cold butt. I don't recognize it.

In history, Lai Junchen forced to marry the daughter of Wang Qingshen of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Hou Sizhi also asked to marry Li Ziyi of the Li family in Zhaozhou. He would definitely not agree, so he could only force him. Wu Zetian's Political Affairs Hall discussed this matter and raised it to the level of state affairs. Li Zhaode said that it was ridiculous. Lai Junchen abandoned his old wife and robbed the daughter of the Wang family, which was a great humiliation of the country. Today, this slave asked for the daughter of the Li family again, wouldn't he humiliate the country again? It was not just a daughter of a famous family, but the face of the country, saints, dignity, etc. Wu Zetian could not speak up after hearing this.

Li Wei didn't understand, so he asked some questions. The Northern Wei moved south and brought countless Hu people to Henan, admired the Han civilization, so he pretended to be the descendant of Dou Wu of the Han Dynasty. For example, the Dou family came from the Desolation and returned, and pretended to be the descendant of Dou Wu of the Han Dynasty. Hou family was in charge of Fu family, and entrusted himself to Zheng Hou Xuanduo. Bing family claimed to be a descendant of Li Ling in the Xiongnu and followed Wei Guiliu. Other Wu family, Dugu family, etc. are all. Li, Liu, Zhang, and Wang, who were common Han surnames, and Hu people who were falsely arrested.

Many. In ancient times, most people value surnames? They can’t change their surnames, and they don’t change their names! How can they be considered? Then, what rules can these Hu people have? Not to mention Hu people, the Li family’s royal family is still very chaotic. And many of them, from Henan, Hedong to Guanzhong, more or less Hu people’s bloodlines are not just from the Li family. Therefore, the closed marriage system of the five surnames and seven families is more noble. The Chinese bloodline is pure.

In fact, the skill is also very good. When the children come out, they are all well-educated and polite. As long as the women come out, they wear charity and behave dignifiedly and impeccably. Therefore, no matter how many resources they occupy or how many people they exploit, the scholars and officials and the people recognize it.

The Tang Dynasty was a god-horse without a saint. There were no such families with great reputation. So Li Shimin complained that King Xie of Jiangnan had withered and became famous. When he became famous, he also made his fortune from a remote country, so why was it above my family? But after he declined, his reputation was indeed above the Li family royal family.

Therefore, these five families and seven surnames, plus Xiao Pei and other families constituted an important symbol of the Tang Dynasty.

The royal family also had marriages with these families, but it was not a gift, but a request, but also depends on their faces. If they did not ask well, they would refuse. In history, they did not agree to marry the princess several times, and even refused to marry their daughter to the crown prince as the crown prince's concubine. Wu Zetian also hated and loved these families, which was very pleasing.

But now he actually tried to extend an olive branch to the royal family...

Of course, there is still reserve, otherwise I would not have asked the people from the Li family in Zhaozhou to do so.

I feel very happy in my heart.

Li Wei didn't realize that he had not integrated into it yet. Looking at the five families and seven surnames, well, there are many talents, good tutors, and excellent children. It is the good side. The bad side, which occupies a lot of resources, has become one of the tumors of the country and has great power. There are often some children who are not young, who can make up marriages at high prices for their children. That's about that.

Therefore, without thinking about Cui Yingying, I thought for a long time, and it was probably a coincidence. Even if it was not possible to become interested in a celebrity in the novel. So I said: "My mother, although the Cui family is famous, my family is the Tian family. There is no need to flatter a family of subjects. It is best not to discuss this matter. Since the young lady of the Yang family, it has been reported that the young lady of the Pei family will be changed again. If it changes again, what will the people in the world think? There are so many things to discuss, and it is even more conclusive that my family is flattering to the five surnames and seven families."

The main reason is that there are too many women in the East Palace.

It is not as great as monogamy, but now there are several, so I can't add it. This reason is impossible to say. I guess my mother would not agree, and even Di Renjie would not agree. It would be a little too much for a harem of 310,000, but at least one should be thirty or forty.

"Yes," Wu Zetian smiled again. Whether he agrees or refuses, he has face.'

Seeing that his mother was happy, Li Wei picked up the cotton again and said, "My mother, my son has neglected one thing and needs to report it to her."

"explain."

"My son is in Xijing and has been thinking about increasing production for a long time."

"Well," it is not uncommon to say the method, but my son has never done farming, so it is not easy to think of it. Wu Zetian nodded.

"At first, Erchen had no hope for increasing the yield. Even after planting it, he did not expect such a high yield. He thought that Sanshi was already very satisfied."

This incident also spread. Thinking of the ignorance of the prince (son), Wu Zetian and Li Shoucheng both smiled. This matter was strange, with such a high yield, but the parties involved did not pay any attention to it and did not even send anyone to ask.

"The first thing Erchen thought was to increase some types of food. Bo Wanghou brought many seeds of grain, vegetables and fruits from the Western Regions, which benefited a lot from later generations. He just went on a mission to the Western Regions and had so many harvests. Going further? For example, cotton was originally produced from farther places. Are there many crops, fruits and vegetables that we did not have in the Tang Dynasty, which can be introduced, planted on the mountains, planted in water, or planted in cold places, or planted in hot places? Therefore, Erchen asked a man named Jiuzhai of Zhaowu who had been to Persia to take Erchen's private life to Persia, Dashi, Daqin, and even

To the west of the Great Qin Dynasty, see if there are suitable seeds to bring back to our Tang Dynasty. There are also books. The mother, although the wild and civilized civilization is backward, has some advantages. Just like "Qimin Yaoshu", it is not as important as the Nine Classics. My son read it several times, but came up with many methods to benefit agriculture. So are there good books in foreign countries, picking their strengths and removing their weaknesses? In addition, there are also some craftsmen in Dashi, such as Dashi's smelting swords. Although the craftsmen are low, bringing them back will also be beneficial to our Tang Dynasty. There are not many, and if there are too many beneficial things, our Tang Dynasty will become stronger."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Zetian's face. His mother opposed it. Hu Ying's trip was successful and no one would pay attention to it.

"What's the name of this Hu man?"

"His name is Hu Ying."

"Is it done?"

"It's gone."

"Hong'er, you have neglected this matter. You should report to your father and this palace. There are many countries in the West, and there will be many dangers in a row. If you give an imperial edict, it will be safer."

Report early? Hu Ying is a businessman again. Will you agree? However, the mother's intention made Li Weichang feel relieved and said respectfully: "Mother, the son minister is negligent. There will be controversy in this matter. If Hu Ying comes back, can the mother be more responsible for the son minister?"

"I can barely do this," Wu Zetian said very "shameless". His son gave her the credit, and she barely did it.

But when this mother was happy, Li Wei was happy.

Although many Zhang Guoshu have been prepared, it is better to be an emperor with a peaceful transition? Whether you can become an emperor depends on your father, and more on this mother...

The conversation between mother and son actually determines many things.

These things may not be earth-shaking, but their actual significance will be far greater than the martial arts top scholar Wu Zetian got, the palace examination, etc.

But both mother and son were unaware of it. Wu Zetian valued his son's thoughts, and Li Wei valued Wu Zetian's attitude towards him. It should be said that the result was a perfect result.

There are not many people who know it, and everyone is attracted by another thing. The crown prince's crown ceremony. At the age of twenty, that is, later the crown ceremony at the age of eighteen, or the month is older, and at the age of nineteen. There are also special cases. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of fifty-two, and King Cheng was crowned at the age of fifteen. The former is not very credible, while the latter is a state affairs that have to be done. The crown ceremony is also very complicated, especially the crown prince's crown ceremony. Li Zhi planned to save money and handle it in a low-key manner, and many officials would assist in participating.

First of all, the date is the date. The Zhou ritual is in mid-spring, that is, February, and the crown. Later, with the emphasis on the birth date and filial piety, it gradually changed to around the birthday, not necessarily the birthday. This requires the ritual official and the diviner to divine the day, and to find a good date around the birthday of the crown prince. Even the divination day also requires a good day to divine the divination day.

Li Hong's birthday was in October. Not long after he was born, the court killed Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai's brothers. Therefore, the prince was in poor health later. There is a saying that the prince was contaminated with blood. The ceremony of crowning may not be in October, maybe in September, or in November. This requires divination decision. But the time for divination was finally settled. It will be held in a few days.’

Prince Ren is about to become an adult!

The people in Luoyang are talking about it.

But someone was anxious.

Early in the morning, the ministers waited for the morning court outside the Tianjin Bridge. In fact, the morning in August was still very pleasant, a little cold, but when it came from the hot weather, it felt very precious. The cool morning breeze blew, making people feel particularly refreshed.

Pei Judao walked over shyly, came to Di Renjie, and whispered: "Di Sicheng, you have heard some of it. Originally, my daughter was already the candidate for the Crown Princess. Because His Royal Highness made an appointment, she went to visit the minister's house. The two emperors were unhappy. Di Sicheng helped me."

Di Renjie was happy.

I knew a little, but I didn't expect the Cui family to intervene. The Pei family in Hedong is a famous family, but the Cui family in Boling is still slightly above the Cui family, and the Li family in Zhaozhou supports it. So the Pei family immediately became much weaker in momentum. In fact, Di Renjie didn't care much. The best candidate in the prince's mind was undoubtedly the Yang family's daughter, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her nostalgia for the prince. The prince said that clothes were not as good as new as new, and people were not as good as old. Di Renjie sighed for a long time. The Pei family's daughter was good and the Cui family's daughter was good, I'm afraid the prince wouldn't care.

After the joy, he whispered: "Pei Jinwu, I don't even agree with that. Even if I enter the Eastern Palace and become the crown princess, the crown prince will not be happy."

"That's right. But Di Sicheng is also the little girl's intention. Di Sicheng is loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince and hopes that the future Crown Prince will be more loving to the Crown Prince."

"This is the intention of the two lords. What can Di do? Don't say it's the Crown Princess. Your Highness Zeng Yang asked Di to come up with some tricks to make the two lords compliment so that the Yang family daughter can stay in the Eastern Palace and be a concubine. Di has no good plans."

"You can see through the big cases like Xu Jingzong. The temple chief is extremely wise and will definitely come up with a good idea," Pei Judao begged again. In fact, it may not be very good. The Cui family's strangeness does not count. Entering the Eastern Palace, the Wei family's daughter will pose a threat to her daughter in the future. However, now it is difficult to get on the verge of being a tiger. If you cannot become a crown princess, it will make people laugh at the world.

"Pei Jinwu, solving the case is Di's leader. Regarding other things, Di may not be as good as it is. Otherwise, Di would not be just a temple minister in Dali Temple to this day."

There is still a way. If you bribe the fortune teller, let the date be advanced and the crown princess must be decided before the ceremony. The time is short, and the two emperors will not change much. But if you don’t know, you will not do it unless you do it. If it is revealed, it will be bad and may implicate yourself. Now the emperor may be angry with him. Therefore, he did not say anything.

"Di Sicheng, think about it again. Pei's daughter has a weak personality and will have less disputes when she enters the East Palace. The Cui family's daughter may be better, and it may not be that good. If it is not good, it is not the blessing of the East Palace. Di Sicheng, please think twice."

Even such direct attacks were said.

Di Renjie smiled again. However, it seemed that he was moved. The current queen is not bad, but since he became powerful, there have been many more fierce things. Not only the harem, but also the ministers... So he said: "It is not wrong for you to let your little wife be a lady from a family. It is not just about morality. In terms of morality, there are many women in the world who are good in character, good in appearance, and good in talent. Especially the five surnames of Cui, Li, Lu, Zheng and Wang."

"Di Sicheng, can you explain it clearly?"

"There is still a love relationship. The prince is a person who values ​​love. The two emperors will also value love. Even you and I cannot get rid of this vulgarity." After saying that, Di Renjie kept silent. If Pei Judao still didn't want to touch the tofu, he would be able to kill him.

But looking at the East Palace from afar, I was thinking, the prince was like a flower, which family will this flower fall into?

The metaphor is very inappropriate, but Di Renjie was quite proud and regarded the prince as his future master, as a close friend, junior, and student. He was very happy to see that he had a promising prospect. What would it feel like if he helped the master, everyone avoided it? He may not be as promising as Wei Zheng in the future, but this is better than Wei Zheng.

The eunuchs promulgated the imperial edict and the ministers went to court.

In fact, since August, business has gradually decreased.

Sora, merchants rushed to transport grain, and the harvest of Jianghuai came again. There were still a few rains behind, and the Wei River rose a little, so the ships began to flow smoothly. Of course, many were ships transporting grain by merchants. The grain prices in Guanzhong fell sharply and began to fall slowly again, approaching forty cents per bucket of rice. If they fell again, it might be more than thirty cents and twenty cents. The king and his ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

But even so, some pedantic Confucian scholars were still making noise and impeaching merchants. Even Di Renjie felt that they were too much. Li Wei shook his head even more, not knowing what these Confucian scholars were thinking. So he interrogated again. This was not too much. Some assassins saw that the traffic under their jurisdiction was closed, so they blocked the roads at once, leaving only one road for entry and exit, prohibiting commercial circulation, and preventing the flow of the people. Such historical regressive behavior was rated as the top grade in the assessment.

Besides, most officers and soldiers at the checkpoints are extortion, but the good officials would rather collect tariffs from passers-by than collect commercial taxes. It is not to encourage business, but to be afraid that after collecting commercial taxes, they will be terrified!

But the people have truly benefited.

So the court was peaceful.

Just as I was about to hear the eunuch say that if there is something to report, I would leave the court without any trouble. Suddenly, I saw Li Zhi wave his hand. The eunuch took out a plate with several large sorghum spikes on the plate. Everyone was inspiration and knew that sorghum spikes would be high, but the sorghum spikes were not ready, so I was always uncertain. When it was time to harvest, the sorghum spikes were sent to Dongdu, and the yield would be out.
Chapter completed!
