The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 412 The same surname does not marry, the concubine system (seeking full order)
Repair internal affairs and manage cultural affairs.

This is what Bai Gui and the Chang'an court have started to do in the past few months.

Over the past year, the power of the people in Qinlong and Longzhou has gradually recovered. Both the common people and the gentry have begun to sing praises and have full confidence in Bai Gui, the king of Qin, who is in power.

On the contrary, due to the three malpractices, the Southern Song Dynasty imposed heavy taxes, and in order to resist the invasion of the Jin Dynasty and the "Old Song Dynasty", miscellaneous taxes increased.

Jianzhou Jianmen Pass has been wide open.

In July, Bai Gui raised [-] troops to attack Bashu according to the time set in the proclamation.

Because of the retrograde actions of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Bashu’s old grievances against the Song court, when Bashu was attacked, except for a small number of prefectures and counties who resisted stubbornly, most of the other prefectures and counties only resisted symbolically for a while, and then surrendered to the Qin army. embrace.

It's almost to the point where it depends.

This is not such an unimaginable thing!
The Qin army is not the Jin army. The Song court has long lost its morality. Bai Gui took advantage of the military power to destroy Xixia. He has done a good job in internal affairs and civil affairs in Qin and Long. He will also treat him politely after surrendering. Why should the generals work hard for the Lin'an court?

They are the ones who change the king's banner at the top of the city and rule the people.

Of course, if Bai Gui is just a brutal man, even if he wins the land of Qin and destroys Xixia by chance, not many people will be optimistic about him and bet on him.

But he is tolerant of words and martial arts, wise and decisive in dealing with things, and he looks like a master at a glance.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Bai Gui sent troops from Chang'an in July, and by mid-August, Bashu was already in his pocket.

It's just that after he captured Bashu, he didn't take advantage of the trend to attack the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, but continued to repair the internal affairs and support the people.

In fact, it is not impossible to attack the Southern Song Dynasty from Bashu along the Yangtze River.

But at this moment, it is not a good thing whether it is to capture the remaining half of the Southern Song Dynasty or not to capture this half of the country.

Thanks to the natural dangers of Bashu and Qin, the Qin army only needs to lock the pass to defend the Kingdom of Jin, and wait for work at leisure.

But if the Southern Song Dynasty is captured, the troops will be too scattered, and at the same time, it will give the Jin Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of.Jin Guo sent troops from the Central Plains to attack Huainan and Jiangnan, and there were flaws everywhere that could be attacked.

A strategic advantage will immediately become a strategic disadvantage!

Moreover, although Jiangnan Road is prosperous, it is already exhausted to support hundreds of thousands of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty.Even if Bai Gui seized Jiangnan, this... tax was received by Zhao Gou who did not know how many years later.

It's useless to ask for it!

"When the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, Song Ting will be a dead bone in the tomb..."

Bai Gui said to the generals who were eager to try.

Most of the officers and men under his command are from the Shengyi Army. Among them are relatives of the Bai clan, they are from Lin'an, there are Xiang troops selected from Jingnan Mansion, they are from Jingnan, and there are also some imperial troops transferred from various places. They are all from Jiangnan.

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

Now that they have captured Bashu, they also want to take the opportunity to wipe out the Southern Song Dynasty in one go, so that they can go back and feel proud.

"Yes, King Qin."

The generals took orders and did not repeat.

……

Lin'an.

The continuous light rain that had been falling for three consecutive days stopped at Chenshi.

The clouds parted.

The palace, the vertical arch hall.

The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were gloomy.

For Song Ting, the loss of Bashu was equivalent to the end of the world.

However, compared to Zhao Gou's frustration and loneliness, the officials of the imperial court are somewhat ulterior motives.

When he was in Lin'an, Bai Gui, a secretary from the Boys' Department, had a lot of dealings with civil officials like them, even though it was a hasty encounter at the literary meeting.

But with this foundation, if you don't ask Bai Gui to treat them favorably, at least you won't treat them harshly.

"The golden man..."

Zhao Gou, who had been silent for a long time, spoke the first sentence.

In an instant, the minister stopped.

"No!"

"The golden man is my enemy of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"The shame of Jingkang, has His Majesty forgotten?"

All officials said in unison.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Gou's face.

He hasn't spoken yet.

Opening your mouth is not necessarily to ask the Jin people to send troops to attack Qin with the Jin people...

However, at the moment he mentioned the Jinren, these officials directly blocked what he wanted to say later on the grounds that Jingkang was ashamed.

If it is in normal times, this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

But now..., Zhao Gou hesitated. First, the law does not punish the public. Even if execution is necessary, the reasonable political method is to demote him first, cool down for a certain period of time, and then punish him. The second is that he also has scruples in his heart now. If Bai Gui's soldiers and horses come to fight, if he acts too hard, will there be no room for mediation?
"I heard that the King of Qin recently adopted his side concubine."

"I am the uncle of the emperor, so I don't want to express my heart. I will send 5 taels of gold and silver each, and choose three princesses of the right age from the clan to marry the concubine to the King of Qin..."

He took a deep breath and said.

All the officials are renounced, the general situation is gone, what he can do now is to make friends with Bai Gui.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to counter Bai Gui's military prowess with only the Song Dynasty as one country.However, the Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song Dynasty had an old feud, and it was possible to make peace temporarily, but if they sent troops to attack Qin together with the Kingdom of Jin, they would immediately be cast aside by the people of the world.

"When a feudal lord marries one country, the two states will go to his concubine, and the concubine will follow. What is the concubine? The son of the brother. What is the concubine? The younger brother. The prince hires nine daughters, and the prince will not marry again." —— "Zuo Zhuan "

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a concubine system.

If a prince marries a wife, the princes with the same surname in the wife's family, logically speaking, should be given to his concubine, that is, his concubine or concubine will be used as a dowry concubine to marry the prince who married his wife.

A family of princes with the same surname married three concubines.

Just like in the legend of Miyue, Miyue and Mishu, Mishu is married as the princess of the first family, and Miyue is married as the concubine of the princes.

……

Therefore, people with the same surname do not get married, even if they have the same surname and different clans, it is difficult to get married.

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that marriage with the same surname was legally abolished.

It's okay to be a small family, if you get married, you get married.

But Bai Gui is now the king of Qin, the ruler of a country, if Bai Suzhen wants to marry Bai Gui as a side concubine, she has to change her surname.Among the hundreds of surnames, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and now Bai Gui did not usurp the throne, so Bai Gui simply used Zhao Huan's name to give Bai Suzhen the title of Zhao and the title of Princess Anrong.

At the same time, it was also a political article.

Marrying a girl surnamed Zhao, even though the girl surnamed Zhao is not her own, but making such a gesture means that even if Bai Gui usurps the throne in the future, he will treat Zhao Song's clan well.

It is an act of benevolence to treat the clan of the former dynasty kindly.

If even the clan of the previous dynasty treated them kindly, then the treatment for the officials of the Song court is self-evident.

"Your Majesty is wise."

In the Chuigong Hall, after listening to what Zhao Gou said, all the officials bowed and worshiped.

Now that Bashu has been lost, Zhao Gou wants to make peace, and wants to spend money to buy peace, buy the throne for a few more years, and at the same time make friends with Baigui.So he wants to use this concubine system to flatter Bai Gui directly.

If you give the money directly, it seems that he is too useless, but you can use the concubine system to turn the money into a bonus, which is not only justified, but also much nicer.
