Sweep the World

Chapter 934: : What's the point of this?

If you look through the history books, you will find that Xia, Shang, Zhou (Chunqiu, Warring States), Qin, and Han have never rejected the acceptance of foreign women. Intermarriage with foreign races is a very common phenomenon in the long history. . Fastest update

The men on Zhu Xia's side did not reject women of different races, but extremely rejected marrying women of their own race. Not only did men reject them, but also women as well.

Men’s rejection is naturally a matter of dignity and pride in their own nation. It would be a shame to marry women of their own race to a foreign race.

Female rejection may have something to do with dignity and pride, but it is more about the inability to accept some customs of foreign races. Living habits are on the one hand, and on the other hand, the husband of the foreign race has died, and the husband’s brother accepts his wives and concubines, or The husband’s heirs accept female elders as concubines, and many things that are simply unacceptable to the Han people.

Most of the Hulu on the grassland and some barbarians in the south have the custom of inheriting (or brothers) from father to son. The Han people think that it is against the ethics of Gangchang, but they feel that they are being good people and doing good deeds.

A simple thing, Hulu and the barbarians would feel that they were doing good deeds, because women lost support after their husbands died, and it is difficult for them to survive. Accepting the dead husbands would take on the responsibility of supporting them.

The strange thing is, shouldn't one's elders be nurtured? Also take on the responsibility of warming the bed? This will involve population growth.

Different social structures and customs have created the ideological concepts of different nationalities. They are all looking at the actions of different races from their own national concepts, and they cannot simply be distinguished between right and wrong.

As the emperor of Han people, Liu Yan's thoughts and concepts should naturally be based on what the Han people can accept, so he doesn't care what the Hulus or barbarians are because of their talents.

Of course, Liu Yan will continue to carry forward the rules handed down in ancient times, reject women of his tribe from marrying outside, and advocate the acceptance of a group of women. This kind of thing is also the responsibility of the emperor, everything is only because the emperor is the patriarch, and what the clansman thinks is right should be right.

Putting it another way, as the emperor, Liu Yan not only wants to promote it in behavior, but also needs to use the system to make that beautiful concept a framework that is supported and restricted by the law.

The acceptance of foreign women should start from Liu Yan himself, and he has no reason not to do it. From the ancient times to the present, the Sima clan has not broken the ancient heritage, or the former "ruling the world" even accepts foreigners. Even if women can't go to sleep, there are still basic political shows.

It is not that the Sima clan didn't accept women of the alien race because he didn't want to, because no alien with the identity was willing to give a woman to the Sima clan.

"This Daqin woman named Helena is very strange." Cui Wan is holding the collected intelligence: "Da Qin people are not stingy in admiring her, but the language is very vague. People from other countries, they think This Daqin person is an unclean woman."

A woman, as long as she has a reputation for being "unclean", it means that people feel that her private life must be very corrupt.

The world will always have different opinions because of gender. The erosion of a male’s private life can be interpreted as a romantic, and I think there is nothing wrong with this romantic guy; but if it is a female, there will be no positive comments anyway.

The reason for the difference is very simple. Men control most of the resources of society, and the power is controlled by men. The matter of three wives and four concubines has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the rule.

If resources and authority are in the hands of women someday, maybe things should be the other way around?

The maternal society of ancient times does not mention that men who have been three wives and four concubines since the birth of the country, have you ever seen women with three husbands and four concubines?

Actually there are! Like the Western Han Dynasty, who is missing the face of so many emperors? But that is what Di Ji can do, but who else dares to do this.

An absolute minority cannot become a social rule accepted by the general public. On the whole, it is correct for a man to have more than one woman, and it is wrong for a woman to have more than one man. This is the rule. Not only men take it for granted, but women, except for a few, don't think there is anything wrong.

Now it is not the Song Dynasty (including later), and the social restrictions on women are not so exaggerated. At the same time, women are not much different from men in many rights and interests (excluding polyandry).

The most direct manifestation is that the property of a family is shared by the husband and the wife. Not only can the husband divorce his wife, but the wife can also raise and divorce. Unless the government judges that a certain male (female) has to bear the error in accordance with the law, there is no such thing as going out of the house if it is not divorced.

For the Han people, marrying a woman who is not a virgin is not unacceptable, but the reputation must not be too bad!

"There is a reputation for being unclean in foreign countries..." Cui Wan looked at Liu Yan with a cautious expression, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty...Are they slandering?"

It's not impossible...

After a blind date, ordinary people looked at each other and went in private to find out what kind of person the man (woman) was. Some neighbors in the neighbourhood might be just out of a bit of discomfort, and they would still talk nonsense when there is no such thing.

There is no reason for the mutual destruction between countries. For example, in the collected intelligence, not only Helena has a bad reputation, in fact, any of them have.

Cui Wan saw negative information in every report. If it is judged based on those information, any bad news should be eliminated, so Liu Yan will not be selected this time.

"Your Majesty." Cui Wan didn't know why she blushed, but she appeared generous in her manners, and the difference in mentality and behavior can explain the problem. She said: "If not...can you check...check...", the words that follow are really unspeakable, meaning whether there is a layer of film in the physical examination.

The Han family never checked the film, even in the Song Dynasty, which was considered the most conservative. It was something that only happened during the Zhu Ming dynasty, and "I Daqing" even carried forward.

Liu Yan understood what Cui Wan hadn't finished but wanted to express, and his face couldn't help.

For such a matter, Liu Yan has already intervened too much. This is also because there is no queen dowager, or the draft should be checked by the queen dowager.

Without the empress dowager, the harem can also be presided over and checked by the empress. If Cui Wan has enough ambition to even show the queen's prestige in this matter, the key is that she has not expressed any ambitions.

"Gu Weiyou..." Liu Yan didn't want to make such a head on such an event for future generations: "If it's a big fanfare, Queen..."

It is definitely not enough to do it with a high profile. Otherwise, Liu Yan should have been given the title of "Unknown Monarch", and it will even be linked to rumors of unconfidence, and the impact on the entire country will be infinite.

Before the Han people married wives, it was not the case. As the "prince of the emperor" who combined the emperor and the emperor, suddenly there was such a thing. Following the imitation will start with the hundred officials, and then spread to all classes of the country.

In fact, it's not that men don't care about that layer of membrane, but that society has decided not to advocate caring about that layer of membrane.

In the age of war, most men would be called up to the battlefield. If there were little ladies in the pre-Qin period, hurry up and those who were about to go to the battlefield would like men to send a shot, mainly for the purpose of spreading incense to the men they like.

Furthermore, since it is on the battlefield, there is a possibility of death in battle, and the chances of appearing widows are unlimited, and the government does not require widows to observe festivals.

Regardless of likes or dislikes, there are too many widows that will cause too many problems in society, and at the same time will become an obstacle to population growth.

Hulu and barbarians accept women (not biological mothers) from their fathers (brothers), in a way to increase the population.

If you look at the laws of the past dynasties, you will find that in most dynasties there is one, that is, at what age men and women must get married, especially for women who have made strict standards.

For example, it is illegal for a woman to marry when she is too old, and she will not be arrested, but she will be forced to choose a husband for her or impose a fine.

How old is a woman if she does not marry, what measures will it take? Whose handwriting is it? It is from Lu Zhi, who is also a woman, and she has issued relevant laws and regulations.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, the law has been continued throughout the dynasties. The reason for the emergence of that law in the Western Han Dynasty was that the population dropped too sharply after the chaos of the world, and women had to be forced to marry at an appropriate age so that they could become pregnant to increase the population.

The current Han Empire has also inherited that law, while still continuing another previous practice. It does not force widows to marry again, but it does not promote observance of festivals.

Under normal circumstances, the local government will implicitly encourage widows to remarry. It will not be too obvious, but everyone knows that there is such a thing.

The soldiers went to the battle to die, but the government encouraged the survivors to remarry? No matter from which aspect, it is extremely impersonal.

Will the survivors no longer marry, can they support their children and elders? In terms of productivity and women's status, I am afraid it is difficult.

If the survivor remarries, according to social conventions, her new husband has the responsibility to take on those responsibilities, which means that this man is more than just raising a family.

There are too many aspects involved. Not just a human touch can explain everything. In many years after the end of the war, a man married multiple daughters-in-law is not only not for pleasure, but actually suffering. Not only will this man not be despised, but he will also be respected enough to think he is doing a righteous act.

The Han empire founded by Liu Yan did not encounter such a situation. On the contrary, Shi Jie's persecution of women caused a sharp decline in women than men in this war.

The difference between this war and other wars is that the Jie people have a tradition of arresting women to join the army. They are used at night to vent their animal desires, and they can be cooked when they want to eat.

The other Huhus are not as cruel as the Jie tribe, but the influence of the Jie tribe is not much better for women. The women who caused the war this time were the most victims.

"Your Majesty, Minister..." Cui Wan claimed that there was nothing wrong with her ministers, and the queen also had a salary, so she was one of the ministers: "Why don't you all see it first and ask?"

Liu Yan's mood was not good for a moment. He had just hinted that Cui Wan could take care of the inspection of the film in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect Cui Wan to notice the hint at all. He could no longer hint, or bring it up brightly.

With regard to who to choose, Liu Yan's intervention has reached this point.

As for the identity of Liu Yan, what kind of woman does he want? Treating things cautiously only involves the future relationship between countries.

Liu Yan left the harem and went to Weiyang Palace, and asked if Lu Yi was on duty.

Lu Yi, who was summoned, quickly met Liu Yan and reported something after the salute. He paused and waited for Liu Yan's prompts, such as why he was specifically summoned.

Of course, Liu Yan couldn't say it plainly and clearly. He was talking about a lot of national physique, reputation, reputation and so on.

Lu Yi only reacted in a daze. He didn't think there was anything funny about Liu Yan's move. On the contrary, he responded cautiously.

"Wang Meng is the official envoy, and the minister has inquired about it." Lu Yi repeated some of the answers from Wang Meng without any personal subjective consciousness, and finally he said Helena: "The minister is going to tell your majesty about that person. Da Qin's princess has a really bad reputation."

Lu Yi talked a lot afterwards, and only after sufficient preparation did he come to the main topic: "The minister thinks that this matter may be used?"

No one dared to fool around with the emperor's concubine, and Lu Yi also did not dare. Helena must be removed from the list, but he felt that Helena was very useful from a national level.

Liu Yan understood, but he had to behave like he didn't understand: "What it means is..."

"Let her stay in Dahan, and when the time permits, I will blame Daqin." Lu Yi said cautiously. Seeing Liu Yan's face condensed, he explained: "This matter is an excellent excuse for war~www. wuxiamtl.com~ can also show that big guys can't be bullied."

Use a woman to make a fuss? The whole world has never lacked this kind of way, and it is still very useful every time. Liu Yan will have a solemn expression on his face.

"I have heard of a war in Europa thousands of years ago." Liu Yan briefly stated the background of the Trojan War: "That woman named Helen is famous, and she is destined to stay famous forever."

Lu Yi was more and more frightened. He knew a little bit about Liu Yan and had already guessed what would happen next.

"I am not Liu Heng, Liu Qi, nor Liu Che!" Liu Yan said of the three people. When talking about the Huns, they would mention Mouton's insult to Lu's pheasant. They used them to encourage themselves to remember the shame. Revenge in one day. He almost grimaced: "If Da Han wants to conquer Da Qin, it is enough because Da Qin is disrespectful to Da Han. Why is this?"

Lu Yi had to plead guilty. He thought Liu Yan would react like this, because he felt that his dignity had been insulted.

"I have repeatedly mentioned it to Qing!" Liu Yan said almost domineeringly: "The Han should be the ruler of the Blue Star, and we will definitely become the only ruler of the Blue Star, and we will be more atmospheric!"
