Great Tang princess

Chapter 50 Hundred Surnames (Happy New Year to all readers!)

Forbidden marriage is a saying that only appeared in the Li Zhi era.

Li Yuechen also probably knows about this matter. In this era, because it is still an aristocratic political system, there are many aristocratic families with a long history and profound heritage.

For example, five surnames and seven hopes.

At the beginning, there was a man named Li Yifu, who was highly valued by his father Li Zhi and mother Wu Zetian, and finally worshiped him.

He felt that he had become a thigh, but because his background was not deep enough, he wanted to marry these aristocratic families to make his background deeper.

But these aristocratic families are all over the top. To them, the Li family belongs to the wild boys who come out of the valley and look down on them. You, a little prime minister, are worthy of it?

So he refused without hesitation!
Li Yifu was furious, so he teamed up with his partners to make a show and complained to Li Zhi.

In the end, Li Zhi issued an order, named the names of some aristocratic families, a total of seven surnames and ten families, and prohibited them from intermarrying each other!

After this order was issued, these named aristocratic families set off a frenzy of intermarriage before the order took effect.

The process of many weddings is to save as much as possible, and let more people intermarry as soon as possible before the order takes effect.

After the order came into effect, not only were these aristocratic families not hit, but they even valued themselves by it.

Outside, as long as my family is banned from marriage, others will know that this is a powerful family that even the emperor recognizes.

Youdao is an iron-clad family of the flowing dynasty. To outsiders, these great aristocratic families are much more powerful than the royal family.

Many people would rather spend all their wealth in order to marry a woman from a big family.It is conceivable how deep the heritage of these families is.

It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married. In fact, in this era, the emperor's daughter is still worried about getting married.

Because in this period, the first thought of talented young people is not Princess Shang, but marrying a family daughter.

The first choice of a talented woman is not to marry the prince, but to marry the noble son of the family.

This is the current social atmosphere.

Li Yuechen nodded and grinned: "It's okay, just find a chance to take revenge in the future!"

Liu Huang was taken aback: "How?"

"Do you want me to teach you?" Li Yuechen asked back, "Give that guy some sacks while walking at night!"

Liu Huang's eyes lit up: "A good way!"

"Cough, this princess didn't say anything!" Li Yuechen reminded.

"That's that!" Liu Huang laughed, "I came up with this all by myself, and I didn't see His Highness at all today!"

Li Yuechen nodded appreciatively, waved his hand and ordered the Jin Wuwei who was driving to return to the palace.

Looking at the carriage going away, Liu Huang saluted slightly, then turned his head and left.

On the way back, Li Yuechen lowered his head and thought.

In fact, from her point of view, she also hates the feudal system and these aristocratic families.

But now she herself is a member of the royal family, based on the principle of helping relatives and not helping others, she only hates these aristocratic families now.

It's not because of anything else, but these aristocratic families really don't feel likable at all.

They are arrogant and domineering, their eyes are too high, they despise other surnames, and they are noble by blood and origin.

Although after years of suppression by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the political power in the court is no longer as strong as before.

But the prestige in the society is still undiminished compared with the founding period and Taizong Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Yuechen was thinking about a question, if these aristocratic families were allowed to continue to develop, would this country develop into a caste-like system in the future?

This is really not groundless worry. Once these aristocratic families unite, they really have the power to overthrow the imperial power!

But to eliminate their influence, it is not something that can be done overnight.

The main reason is that these big families are like the emperors in their own territory.

For example, in Taiyuan, you don't need to know who the emperor is, but you must know the Wang family!

It is such a system that allows these aristocratic families to occupy their own territory. The rich have weapons, and its influence cannot be easily eliminated.

Now Li Yuechen, as the princess of the royal family, naturally has to think from the perspective of the royal family.

If it is said that these aristocratic families can be dealt with, it is tantamount to stabilizing the imperial power. Presumably Li Zhi and Wu Zetian will be very happy, right?

Although she definitely can't do this now, it doesn't matter, at least she can find a way to disgust them.

In this way, not only will he be happy, but Li Zhi and Wu Zetian will definitely be happier as well.

When the emperor and his wife are happy, they will definitely like themselves more!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen made a decision that he must do something to make the emperor happy.

……

Back in Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen sat down, resting his chin with both hands, thinking about what he could do now.

In fact, there are many things that can be done, such as developing business, slowly destroying the business of these aristocratic families, and then hostilely acquiring them.

But if you think about it carefully, this cannot be done now, it needs to be developed slowly.

In the final analysis, the key lies in how to reduce their social influence and make the people realize that these so-called nobles are nothing without the support of the emperor!

Li Yuechen supported his chin with both hands, looked at the Linbo Pavilion outside the hall, and said to himself while thinking: "Seven surnames and ten families, seven surnames and ten families... seven surnames... surnames... a hundred surnames!"

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

That's right, there must be no problem with the surnames of hundreds of families. Let their surnames be photographed behind the Li surname, and the emperor will be happy then!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen started to write.

But before writing, he froze again.

She only remembers the first four sentences of hundreds of surnames, and can't remember the latter at all. How can this be done?
After thinking about it, Li Yuechen first wrote the words "Li Wu Liu Yang" on the paper.

Dad's surname is Li first, mother's surname Wu is second, and grandmother's surname is Yang. To rhyme, the surname of Master Liu is added in the middle, isn't it too much?
Li Wu, Liu Yang, Zhou Wu, King Zheng, don't these also rhyme?
Feng Chen Chuwei, plus... Cui Lu Fanzhang?
After writing here, Li Yuechen stopped writing, and she didn't remember the rest!
While scratching this hair and thinking about how to braid it next, Shangguan Wan'er just walked by.

Li Yuechen was slightly taken aback, yes, Shangguan Wan'er should be able to help, right?

You know, this is the talented woman of the future!Known as the female prime minister, she must be talented!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen waved: "Wan'er, bring the "Clan History" and do me a favor!"

"Here!"

Shangguan Wan'er agreed, lifted her little feet and ran to the bookshelf to search.

"Clan Records" is a book compiled during the Taizong period, which records different surnames and families. With this book, you can check which surnames exist now.

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er came over with a big scroll.

Li Yuechen beckoned her to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Wan'er, there is something here, you have to help me finish it."

"Your Highness, just give orders! As long as Wan'er can do it!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.

Li Yuechen nodded: "As for you, just follow my two sentences and compile the surnames recorded in the clan annals according to this format, and remember to ensure that they rhyme."

"This..." Shangguan Wan'er expressed some hesitation, "I don't know if I can finish it..."

"It's okay, just do your best." Li Yuechen looked around, "If you can't do it, I won't punish you. If you do it, I'll prepare a lot of canned food for you this year, you can eat it if you want!"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "Okay, I will do my best to finish it!"

"It's great!" Li Yuechen reached out and rubbed her head.

"What's the meaning of this stick?"

"It's because you are amazing!"

……

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Yuechen went to the court to listen to the news as usual.

Nothing major has happened recently, but Lu Qiao, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, said that his son Lu Yuan was beaten while walking at night, and the murderer was not found. I hope His Majesty will order a strict investigation and bring the murderer to justice.

If Li Zhi on the dragon chair hadn't seen his daughter behind the screen, he probably couldn't help but throw the health ball in his hand.

WTF?Is it worth telling me about such a trivial matter as your son being beaten?
Then when you quarrel with your wife, do you want me to help you mediate?
After scolding Lu Qiao, Li Zhi announced his retreat, came to behind the screen angrily, picked up Li Yuechen and left.

Lu Hao also felt wronged, and had already told Dali Temple about it.

They did send people to investigate, but after investigating the whole case, it was found that this was obviously a premeditated crime.

He went up and put his head on the sack, but after a few sticks, he ran away directly. He did not rob money or sex, so it was extremely difficult to track down.

Because of this, Lu Zhen brought the case to the court to speak.

And this case, if you talk about it before, maybe Li Zhi would really care to ask a question.

But now that Lu Cheng's father, Lu Chengqing, is dead, and there has always been a tradition of drinking cold tea in officialdom, Lu's speaking energy is not as great as before.

There is a high probability that this matter will be over.

However, Li Yuechen noticed that after the whole court meeting, his master Liu Rengui closed his eyes and rested his mind from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, as if he was asleep.

……

After leaving the court, Li Zhi hugged Li Yuechen and fought for a while, and the depression in the court hall was swept away by playing with his daughter.

Wu Zetian also knew that Li Zhi had disliked them a long time ago, so today he didn't make a fuss about them. Instead, he and Li Zhi played with Li Yuechen.

After lunch, they called their youngest son, Li Lun, and the four of them played mahjong together.

After playing until the evening, Li Yuechen returned to Anfu Hall.

Bare feet were on the wooden floor in the hall, and the hot feeling finally dissipated a lot.

Just about to lie down and rest for a while, Shangguan Wan'er ran over with a "thud, thud, thump": "Your Highness, I'm done!"

"Oh?"

Li Yuechen turned his head: "Take a look!"

Shangguan Wan'er handed over a scripture scroll, and Li Yuechen opened it and read it.

Li Wu Liu Yang, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang.Feng Chen, Chu Wei, Cui Lu, Fan Zhang.Zhu Cao Lu Hua, Fang Xie Kong Jiang...

On the whole, the typesetting is neat, the sentences rhyme, and the recitation is extremely smooth!

Li Yuechen directly held her in his arms with open arms, and patted her on the back: "Haha, Wan'er is amazing!"

Shangguan Wan'er froze in place for a moment, her cheeks became blushing, she raised and lowered her hands, wondering if she should hug Li Yuechen in the same way.

But she obviously didn't think so much, after letting go of Shangguan Wan'er, she grinned: "Remember to prepare pen and ink for me tomorrow, I will copy it and show it to my parents!"

"Here!"

In a good mood, Li Yuechen waved his hand directly: "Come here, prepare the barbecue grill, and barbecue tonight!"

Then he took Shangguan Wan'er's hand directly: "Go, let's bake together today!"

……

The barbecue this time didn't attract much attention. After Li Zhi knew about it, he just smiled and didn't go to eat.

Early the next morning, Li Yuechen got up to practice kung fu as usual, and after lunch, he copied the names of hundreds of families compiled by Shangguan Wan'er, and rode his small tricycle straight to the Hall of Renshou. go.

When we arrived at Renshou Hall, we greeted Zhang Chengxin at the door, and Li Yuechen ran into the hall in a flash.

He ran to the desk, supported it with his hands, and passed directly over the desk, landing beside Li Zhi.

"Hey, Chen'er seems to be in a good mood today." Li Zhi smiled.

Li Yuechen sat directly on the armrest of his rocking chair: "Grandpa, my boy and Wan'er made up a jingle together."

"Wan'er?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, your accompanying maid... What kind of jingle did you make up?"

Li Yuechen lay down directly, leaning his head on his chest: "My child read the "Clan Chronicles" compiled by the late emperor, and compiled the different surnames into jingles, called Baijia surnames!"

As he said, he turned over and got off the rocking chair, and handed the scripture scroll in his hand to Wu Zetian: "Grandpa's eyes are not good, so let's take a look at it, Ma'am!"

In fact, Wu Zetian was not interested in jingles and the like, but since they were all handed over, he thought about opening them and taking a look.

After opening it, the originally casual expression gradually became serious after reading a few words.

Li Zhi on the rocking chair turned his head and took a look: "Meiniang, read it out for me to hear."

Wu Zetian nodded and began to read slowly.

Li Zhi originally had the mentality of listening to the excitement, but as she recited, his expression gradually became serious.

Li Yuechen acted as if he hadn't seen it, and after Wu Zetian finished reading, he came to Li Zhi with a look on his face: "Grandpa, how is it? Is the child good?"

Wu Zetian behind the table asked, "Is this written by Chen'er?"

"The front is written by Hai'er, and the back is written by Wan'er. I will finish it together!" Li Yuechen replied.

The biggest reason for Li Yuechen's answer was that he didn't want his parents to think that he was really talented in literature, so he began to force himself to write four books and five classics.

So throwing half of the credit to Shangguan Wan'er, she said that her talent is only average, and she is not suitable for studying the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, circled the health ball in his hand twice, reached out to take it from Wu Zetian's hand, and looked at it himself.

Wu Zetian asked, "Why did Chen'er rank her grandmother's surname after Liu's?"

"Isn't this for rhyming? That's why Master's surname Liu comes first." Li Yuechen replied.

"Correct!"

Li Zhi, who was watching from the rocking chair, suddenly laughed: "Chen'er only put their surnames behind for the rhyme! For the rhyme!"

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Li Yuechen also showed a smile.

That is, this princess is doing it for rhyme, and has no intention of carrying private goods at all!
