General Qin

"Brother, I heard that the emperor crowned Zhao Tuo in Zhangtai Palace!"

In the mansion of Li's mansion, Li Yu walked into a room and yelled at Li You who was sitting in front of the desk and studying military books seriously.

Li You still lowered his head, carefully looking at the bamboo slips spread out on the case.

Seeing that Li You didn't answer, Li Yu shouted again: "Obviously the eldest son is the recipient of the crown this time, and Zhao Tuo's actions like this have stole the eldest son's limelight. You say this..."

"Do you have any objections to the emperor's crowning of the eldest son?"

Li You raised his head and looked at his younger brother coldly.

"Huh? I didn't!"

Li Yu was frightened into a cold sweat, how dare he have an opinion on the emperor.

He hurriedly argued: "No, I just think that after the eldest son is crowned, he will marry our sisters. This is the most glorious time for my Li family. The emperor crowned Zhao Tuo, and now the news has spread, and the whole of Xianyang is discussing This matter, on the contrary, is my sister's going to marry the eldest son, no one talks about it."

"It's really that Zhao Tuo stole all the limelight. Even my married daughter of Li's family has to be suppressed by Zhao Tuo, so I feel a little bit upset."

"There's nothing to be angry about. You should know that the glory of the elder was made by himself. If you don't feel angry, then work hard on your own. If you can make the same achievements as him, you can also get his honor." That kind of treatment."

Li You said in a deep voice: "Father once said the word 'pattern' to me, you should also remember it."

"pattern?"

Li Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother, the reason why I am not angry is that besides the fact that Zhao Tuo was crowned, there is another thing that has spread throughout Xianyang. The emperor, I will let Zhao Tuo honor the princess!"

Princess Shang!

Li You's body shook.

Li Yu said with some resentment: "Before Zhao Tuo came, the entire Xianyang nobles knew that the emperor wanted you to be the princess."

"For this matter, my brother kept his life clean, didn't touch women, and endured it for several years. Seeing the princess grow up, it's time for you, brother. In this way, my Li family will not only have the wife of a son, but also the wife of an emperor." Son-in-law, what an honor it is."

"However, Zhao Tuo snatched such a good thing away halfway. How can I bear this in my heart! The emperor obviously has so many princesses, why does Zhao Tuo insist on fighting for this one with you, brother? He just Can't wait for the next one!"

Li You listened to his younger brother's complaint quietly, but his face calmed down, and he said lightly: "Got it, you go out."

Li Yu looked at his brother's calm face and frowned. After all, he felt bored, shook his head and sighed, and retreated.

After Li Yu left, Li You lowered his head.

Princess.

Pain flashed in Li You's eyes.

He lowered his head, and his eyes fell on the military book in front of him again.

"Fame and wealth should be obtained on the battlefield. If I can succeed in a desperate battle like Zhao Tuo, defeat the 300,000 Qi army, destroy the country and capture the king, then I can also obtain what he has now."

"If you think about it, the princess will look at me more."

Li You thought of the excitement and sense of accomplishment he felt when he defeated the barbarians with fire in Nanjun, was commended by the emperor, and then recalled to Xianyang to upgrade his title to Zuo Shuchang.

A title promoted by virtue of meritorious service is far more pleasing than a title obtained by one's father.

"I, Li You, should also do meritorious service on the battlefield like Zhao Tuo!"

"I want to go to the battlefield again!"

Li You suppressed the painful matter to the bottom of his heart.

He murmured, fists clenched tightly together.

Endless fighting intent burst out in the eyes.

"I want to make a great contribution!"

...

The so-called "crown and marry" in etiquette.

Now with the crowning of the eldest son, his marriage will naturally begin immediately.

As the emperor's eldest son, he was very likely to become the heir apparent of the empire. As Fusu's wedding approached, his wedding quickly overwhelmed everything else.

The so-called acceptance of the wedding, asking the name, accepting the blessing, accepting the levy, asking for a date and other procedures, etc., have their own Zongzhengfu to take care of everything properly.

When it came to the wedding day of the son Fusu and the lady of the Li family, the whole Xianyang was even more lively, and all the Qin people paid attention and talked about it.

Zhao Tuo, as the guest of honor, followed Fusu's wedding, and felt that the ancient wedding was very solemn and solemn, with all kinds of etiquette and procedures, all of which were rigid, without the annoying "marriage troubles" of later generations. ".

However, what Zhao Tuo noticed was that because the Qin Dynasty favored black, black was the main color from the convoy to the wedding scene, supplemented by white and red. There were black cloths fluttering everywhere and black flags flying around , at a glance, it is really a different scenery.

Besides, Zhao Tuo was always curious about the bride's appearance.

The young master Fusu has a handsome face, wearing a noble hat and wearing clothes, which has a certain style of his own.

The ladies of the Li family wear hair accessories and pure clothes. After dressing up, they are also beautiful.

Because at that time, there were no etiquettes such as red hijab and face-covering in weddings, and those things did not become popular until after the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo could see the appearance of Lady Li at a glance.

It cannot be said that the bride is not good-looking.

It can only be said that she is Li You's younger sister, she is connected by blood, and her appearance is naturally somewhat similar to that of her brother.

Especially at dusk at this moment, when the lights in the house flickered, a scene of Li You wearing a wedding dress always appeared in Zhao Tuo's mind.

Regardless of Zhao Tuo's wild thoughts over there, the bride and groom here, after all kinds of etiquette, are regarded as a ceremony, and they are sent to the bridal chamber to live their happy night.

"My uncle is married, so it's my turn next."

Zhao Tuo murmured in his heart that attending Fusu's wedding today was just a good time to familiarize himself with the wedding process and lay a foundation.

He noticed that besides people from the Zongzheng Mansion and Fengchang Mansion participating in the wedding of Young Master Fusu this time, there were also many people from the Doctoral Palace wandering around.

Just because Confucianism is the successor of Zhou etiquette, they regard etiquette as the second, but no one dares to recognize it as the first.

Even the state of Qin was in charge of the ancestral temple sacrifices, and the etiquette culture had to ask them for advice on many things.

When the emperor conscripted a large number of Confucian disciples to be doctors of the Qin State during the unification, he probably also took a fancy to their etiquette attainments, so that he could formulate higher etiquette norms for the new empire and decorate the facade.

Therefore, these Confucian doctors participated in the wedding of the son Fusu this time, and they paid attention to etiquette, which really made the wedding feel a little higher.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the arts. If these people don't do political affairs and just concentrate on studying etiquette, it will be useful."

Zhao Tuo smiled, turned and left.

And just as he was leaving, one of the Confucian doctors turned his head and looked at Zhao Tuo's back.

Chunyu Yue.

His eyes were filled with disgust.

...

After the wedding of Young Master Fusu, Xianyang City was only quiet for a day or two, and then immediately became excited again.

The destroyer of the kingdoms of Shandong, the creator of many inventions, the brightest new star of Qin, Zhao Tuo, the great concubine.

Princess Shang is about to be!

People from the Zongzheng and Fengchang prefectures discussed and discussed the etiquette issues of the Dashu Changshang Princess day and night, and they were several times more serious than the previous eldest son marrying a wife.

Just because the old system of the Qin law is that the clan has no merit, there is no title and official position, and they are not allowed to enjoy excessive honors. Even after the Qin State was transformed into an empire, the treatment of many princes was suppressed.

Although the youngest son Fusu is the eldest son, he is not a legitimate son, nor is he an official heir apparent. He is legally no different from other princes.

So his wedding was only a slight improvement on the basis of the old system, and it wasn't too troublesome.

But now Princess Zhao Tuoshang is a little different.

Qin Shihuang ascended the throne and became the unique and first emperor in history.

When the emperor recruits the emperor's son-in-law, the standard is naturally quite different from that of the previous king's recruiting the son-in-law.

This is the first time since the beginning of the world, and it is the first emperor and princess in history to recruit a son-in-law.

The various etiquette systems naturally need to be redesigned, only in this way can the royal class and style be reflected.

If it was the same as before, wouldn't the emperor be in vain?

Moreover, this also includes the emperor's emphasis on this matter.

Zhao Tuo, that is the one who is crowned by the emperor, and he has to pay attention to the matter of the princess.

Therefore, the emperor not only asked Zongzheng and Fengchang to be in charge of this matter, but also issued an edict to the doctor's school palace, asking many doctors to discuss the ceremony of the princess.

However, after receiving the news from Princess Zhao Tuoshang, the Confucian doctors in the doctoral school caused a thousand waves with one stone.

All the Confucian disciples were full of anger, filled with righteous indignation.

"The princess has a surname of Ying, and the eldest son Zhao Tuo also has a surname of Ying."

"Those with the ancient etiquette don't marry with the same surname!"

"We have opinions on this marriage!"

"be opposed to!"

"They cannot marry!"

"Book of Rites Da Biography": It is tied with a surname... Although a hundred generations of people who have failed to marry each other, Zhou Daoran also.

"Zuo Zhuan·Xi Gong Twenty Years": Men and women have the same surname, and their births are different.
