Chapter 30 Tradition
Zhuang Wudi was afraid that Xiong Jing would be angry and reject the Qi people on the spot, so he made a smooth move in advance. Although the Qi people were hateful and disappointed again and again, from the actual point of view, they were moving closer to the State of Chu little by little. Not to mention anything else, at least the two countries are not breaking diplomatic relations now, and the Qi people agreed to form an alliance, which is much better than before.
Perhaps because of being a strategist, Zhuang Wudi was very clear about the gap between reality and ideals, and he knew how to compromise with reality. He was not Lu Gao, who thought he was smart. Although Lu Gao did find evidence of the Qin people's attack on Qi, let the Chu army know the Qin people's true intentions in advance, and traveled a thousand miles before the Huai River was frozen, he violated the most basic principle: report of the level of succession. This life is over.
Not paying attention to the reality he faces and being serious and competitive is a common mistake made by young people. He is worried that Xiong Jing will make such mistakes. However, Xiong Jing laughed, "Since that's the case, the shogunate will discuss it."
"Yes." Tian He was like being pardoned when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly. Zhuang Wudi also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xiong Jing didn't want to go back to the camp immediately, he quickly took Tian He, Tian Zong and others away.
"The king is not happy." Mi Xuan stood beside Xiong Jing. She was wearing red clothes and looked like Xiong Jing's personal guards, and the people of Qi never paid attention to her.
"What can I do if I'm not happy?" Xiong Jing was really unhappy. The unhappiness was that he really had no choice but to take advantage of the people. He looked at the dissatisfaction not far away and said, "It's lunch, and I'll be here today."
"Xuan'er has not ridden a horse..." It's three hours since early eating. Xiong Jing spent an hour introducing the whole body of the horse, the temperament of the horse and the equipment of the horse. The second hour took Mi Xuan to disassemble these saddles, and the last hour explained how to get on and off the horse. He said that he was learning to ride a horse, but Mi Xuan didn't ride at all except for his butt and sat on the saddle.
"It's too early to ride a horse." Xiong Jing told him very seriously, "For those who are not skilled in getting on and off the horse, they should not ride it."
"Yes, Ke Xuan'er is not a cavalryman." The man usually smiled a lot, but he would become serious and rigid when he brought up a military matter. Seeing that he really wanted to treat him as a cavalryman, Mi Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you want?" Xiong Jing turned his head and looked at her with a kind of indifferent gaze that a woman had never seen before. Some things must be said explicitly. It should have been said explicitly on the day of marriage, but at that time he didn't want women to have too much pressure.
"Qin State never advocates Zhou Li, but the Qin State women teach Zhou Li. They learn from female workers at the age of ten, such as female red, mulberry silkworms, weaving and spinning, and are waiting to marry at the age of fifteen. It is not that Zhou Li cannot be performed, nor that female red, but…, "The sun is burning, and the man's words seem to be coming from another world. Mi Xuan's face has no smile and he is afraid. "But you can't just learn from female red."
"Is it so easy to do with noble people?" Xiong Jing no longer looked at Mi Xuan. His eyes looked at the undulating mountains behind the Qin army camp and the camp in the distance. "Negods tax blood, common people's taxes, slaves' taxes, everything is fair. If you can't ride a horse, you can't kill people, and you can't defend yourself, what's the difference with common people's women? Is it different from your fine weaving and spinning, your embroidery is more beautiful, and your music and dance is better?
Those who are close to the red are red, and those who are close to the black are black. If you become a commoner, will I also become a commoner? The Zhou people served on behalf of merchants and learned from merchants. One husband and wife became three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seventh generations of wives, and eighty-one imperial wives. The Zhou people were no longer a small country, but a big city, and this was the foundation of depravity.”
"Xuan'er knew her mistake." It turned out that men were all for their own good, and Mi Xuan wanted to stick out her tongue and suppress her shock.
"Forget the girl's red, forget the geometry of the mulberry planting and the geometry of silk production in a large acre. This is what the craftsman slaves remember." Xiong Jing was no longer as serious as before. He couldn't tell whether he was angry because he couldn't align himself with the people, so he started to teach his wife a lesson.
Maybe, maybe not, this is not important. What is important is that Mi Xuan must wash away the Zhou Li tradition that he instilled since childhood. This is not only about himself, but also about the descendants of the two. With his own personal experience, his son must be like a mother. He loves Mi Xuan to marry her as a wife, but love does not mean marriage, and lovers may not be good mothers, so we must correct it now, especially correct the concept of listening to her.
"Xian'er has recorded it." Seeing that the man is no longer serious, Mi Xuan smiled. At the same time, she wondered: Could it be that the man did not hang out with the women in the palace, and he was the only wife? If so, how to inherit the descendants? She couldn't help but say, "The king should not favor Xuan'er alone. There are many queens and concubines in the palace, not for others, but for the sake of the descendants..."
"Fans?" Xiong Jing was in the sage mode and made such a remark. Men are a mixture. When they think with their lower body, they wish that all beauties in the world are their wives and concubines. He is now thinking with his upper body.
"However, the king is the king of Chu, how can it be?" Mi Xuan lowered his head and said with happiness: "...only Ai Xuan'er"
"Jinwenyan, Zhou people are monogamous; when they arrived in Qiang before the New Year, Qiang people are monogamous, Hu people on the grassland, monogamous, Miao Yue in the mountains, monogamous. Although the chief has a concubine, what is a concubine? The word "concubine" is a matter of punishment, which is a slave. According to the customs of merchants, I am serving sleeping today and killing them to sacrifice food in the next day. The noble descendants are nobles, and the slaves are slaves. Do you think that all my descendants are slaves to give birth to children?"
"Xian'er dared not." Mi Xuan was shocked. She only knew that all wives and concubines in the palaces of each country had ranks, either queen or wife; not wife or beauty or beauties... Unexpectedly, a man had only a monogamous wife in his heart, and the rest were all female slaves who could be cooked and killed at any time.
"There are many wives in the palace because of politics, and it is also because of the deviation of the ancestors' traditions of ancestors. This will not be the case for the next generation." Xiong Jing talked about the palace. When he returned to Chu, he would marry Ying Nan and others and could not resist.
The Chu people were part of the Zhuxia, but the Chu people were not part of the Zhou people. The Zhuxia people were not only Zhou people, but at least Song people. The two characters "Song" and "Shang" were different in later generations, and this era was homophone and agreed. The Song Kingdom was Shang Kingdom, and the Song people were Shang people. It was precisely because the Chu people had such historical origins that he had so many basis for resisting the Zhou rituals.
As time goes by, any dynasty will forget the ancestors' sects and go against the traditions of his ancestors. Concubines are mainly young and beautiful female prisoners. According to the tradition of merchants, the captives are sacrificed and then eaten. King Zhou of Shang was not. Daji was originally a woman from the Su tribe. The merchant captured him, and his identity was obviously a concubine. He did not eat Daji, but instead favored Daji, "only the wife's words are used." This "woman" certainly would not be his old and weak wife, but his beloved concubines.
When he was crowned and married, Xiong Jing couldn't help but think further and further, especially when it came to him. What he would do in the future would remove the redundancy in the Zhou rituals with the advantages of outsiders in the State of Chu, and rebuild those ancient and wisdom-filled traditions.
It is a noble person to be brave and trustworthy, and it is also a monogamy. A concubine may be able to have a concubine, but a concubine is a concubine, and the master can be killed without any reason at any time and anywhere without any punishment. At the same time, as long as the Chu girl is a daughter of a soldier, she is forbidden to be a concubine of others and is also forbidden to be a concubine. A concubine is a female prisoner, a wife and daughter of the loser. The Chu army is invincible. How can a Chu girl be a concubine?
The biggest weakness of the Chu people is that there are too few descendants of the surname Mi, but the sons gave birth to the noble concubines - the sons are like mothers, and as a result, there are more descendants, and 99% of them are slaves. If the descendants are not given birth to the noble concubines, but noble women, then the noble concubines are acted as the noble concubines - the mother has slave nature, how can the descendants not have slave nature? Mi Xuan has a lot of slave nature, which is why he taught her carefully to abandon these slave natures.
On the way back to the camp, Xiong Jing rode with Mi Xuan without any hesitation and accepted the military salutes of the generals along the way. He believed that when he returned to Chu, Mi Xuan could ride side by side with him. She also had to learn swordsmanship, be able to shoot weak bows, and most importantly, be able to kill people. This was the wife he wanted - in addition to the pair of jade legs that made him fascinated, she must also be a truly fearless nobleman.
A polygamous husband believes in the paradox as much as the ruler: the ruler believes that the subjects must be humble and surrender to themselves, but they must resist to the death of the foreign enemy. But they do not know that since the subjects can surrender to him, they can naturally be replaced by another master. What is the difference? There is no difference. Maybe the new master will give more rewards for united front;
The husband asks his wife to be humble and surrender to him, but he wants the offspring given birth to his wife to be smart and brave, and to inherit the family business in the future. How is this possible? Only a smart and brave mother can give birth to a smart and brave child. Since the mother is a smart and brave woman, why should she surrender to her husband and not object to her husband marrying the second wife?
The Chu State is composed of countless Chu people. The Chu people are smart, Chu people are naturally smart, and Chu people are brave and brave. To ensure the character of the Chu people, the character of the mother must be guaranteed; to ensure the character of the mother, we must restore the tradition of monogamy when the Chu people practiced the Ao system, and reiterated the tradition of "not treating concubines as wives" like the alliance between Qi Huan Gong and Cai Qiu; at the same time, changing the Chu women is at least changing the thoughts of the noble women of Chu and removing their slavery. This will be a systematic project.
"Report to the king," Zhuang Wudi came out before Xiong Jing had entered the tent. "All the generals, all the generals thought..."
"Why?" Xiong Jing asked, guessing the result.
"The generals discussed and thought that they would come and chase them." Zhuang Wudi said. "If not, why should we save Qi?"
"How about Sima Shang?" Xiong Jing sneered and asked Sima Shang.
"General Sima," Zhuang Wudi looked at Xiong Jing and said, "The people of Qi promised to help Zhao restore the country in the future, and General Sima Yunye."
"Hmph." Xiong Jing quickly entered the shogunate, and everyone was there. Tian He and others didn't pay attention to Mi Xuan before, but now they found out after inquiring. After bowing to Xiong Jing, he hurriedly bowed to Mi Xuan again. "I've seen Mrs. Xuan."
Mi Xuan was about to return the gift, but Xiong Jing stopped him and said, "This is the young lady Mi, why is she called Mrs. Xuan?"
"This..." Tian He flattered and slapped his feet, and was stunned.
"The title of "Mr. I am not accurate." Xiong Jing said loudly: "This is the young master Mi."
