Chapter 488 Protecting the Queen Mother
Sure enough, for King Qin Zhao, fighting against foreigners was still the most important thing.

Nowadays, the wars between various countries are stalemate, and the generals that Qin can deploy are basically fighting outside. Indeed, only Jiang Chiyu is still idle.

However, when it comes to dealing with Yiqu.

The audience all raised their hands: I know this question!If you want to destroy Yiqu, go to Empress Dowager Xuan!It’s time for Empress Dowager Xuan to take the initiative in this step.

The audience laughed and laughed, feeling that the Jiang family had stolen the answer again this time.Indeed, given the relationship between Queen Mother Xuan and King Yiqu, it seems that there would be no problem in summoning King Yiqu.This is of course more energy-saving than attacking Yiqu directly.

kkellen: Let’s just say that King Zhao of Qin has known for so many years that his mother had an affair with King Yiqu, had two children, raised a face, and visited the palace of Qin in public. How come he wasn’t angry?
[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: We cannot use modern thinking to measure the marriage system and behavior of this era.Because in this era, primitive marriage customs are often integrated with the current patriarchal system. It is still a process of transformation and has not yet taken shape.

Therefore, sometimes behaviors that may seem dissolute and immoral to later generations are actually normal at this time. 】

[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: In fact, it is not just the Queen Mother Xuan, but many women in this era are like this.It's just that she is relatively famous and well-known to everyone.

After primitive society changed from matrilineal to patrilineal, the marriage system began to slowly change into polygyny.A patriarch who manages all property and wives.Even the wives and concubines of others are considered the property of the family.

A great patriarch would have many wives and concubines, and when he died, his eldest son would inherit everything.At that time, except for mothers and daughters, other women can become the wives and concubines of the new patriarch.

Marrying your father's wife and concubines is called "Hao", and marrying your uncle's wives and concubines is called "Bao". These are both reasonable and legal.

In addition to these two types, there is also "debauchery". Everyone should have heard of this, that is, if a father likes his daughter-in-law or nephew's wife, he can snatch her as his wife and concubine. This was not uncommon in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In addition, there is the system of submissive marriage such as Nu and Yudi.For example, if a prince marries a direct wife, then the first wife's niece, and Di, the wife's sister, will be married off to two other girls with the same surname, and become the left concubine and the right concubine; the left concubine and the right concubine. His niece and nephew also got married together.This is what is said: three people in a country marry nine daughters. 】

Xingsha: Okay!Marry one and get eight free!

The Lost Dream of the Ancient City: Sure enough, you shouldn’t be too happy to be a prince...

The teller: I can’t find any singles, and they suddenly have a whole family, so angry!

[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: In addition to these, there is another marriage system that is duality.The so-called pairing means one husband to one wife.However, the monogamous couples are not fixed.After marriage, a woman can run away from home and abandon her husband.This is reasonable and legal. 】

Zhiwojia: I was shocked!You can leave once you've had enough, right?

[Guest Jiang Ruoyang: Almost.Wives running around is not only not prohibited in many places, but is also encouraged because it can increase the population and enhance strength.Therefore, although some people might criticize what Empress Dowager Xuan did, it was actually considered normal.This is why everyone knows what she did, but no one condemns her for it. 】

[An An Anchor: So Qin Shihuang’s achievements are extremely great. He not only unified the territory, unified the political system, unified the legal system, unified writing, currency, weights and measures, but also unified the wedding customs.A veritable unification.

Shang Yang's Reform and the subsequent Qin Law of Qin Shihuang strictly prohibited primitive marriage customs. The state protected monogamous marriages and severely punished those who violated monogamy customs such as fornication, cheating, and escaping from marriage.This also established the monogamous marriage system for later generations. 】

Jiang Anrao and Jiang's father were talking to the audience in the live broadcast room. The rest of the Jiang family did not interrupt, and Wang Yun was listening silently.

He had heard of Qin Shihuang several times.It's a pity that he shouldn't be born yet.Otherwise, he really wanted to get to know her.

[Guest Jiang Chiyu: I went to the palace to see King Qin Zhao. He did not clearly disclose his intention to attack Yiqu, but he asked me to take over the northwest camp.This is what it means to fight Yiqu. 】

Yiqu is a branch of Xirong, and became a vassal of Qin during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin.It's just that Yiqu didn't really surrender to Qin, and Qin didn't really trust Yiqu.

Qin's attitude towards Yiqu has always been to suppress him when nothing happened, and from time to time he also sent troops to invade Yiqu's territory.Once the war here gets serious, Yiqu will be given money, cloth, and beauties.Just like the State of Zhao always spent a lot of energy to deal with the Xiongnu Donghu, the State of Qin also spent a lot of energy to deal with Yiqu every year.

Yiqu has good land, but they are also considered nomads, and they can appear to the north and west of Qin from time to time to harass and attack.

It can be said that when the Qin army of King Qin Zhao's generation was in power, Yiqu was the most stable in many years.Perhaps it was because Empress Dowager Xuan had won over the current King Yiqu that Qin had not been able to take advantage of it when it had been at war with other countries for so many years.

But the failure of Yiqu to go away has always been a big obstacle to Qin's conquest of the Central Plains.This time, King Zhao was determined to get rid of them.

Jiang Chiyu received the order to take charge of the Northwest Camp and set off within a few days.Soon after, the Jiang family also received news that King Yiqu was coming to Xianyang.

It was at this time that Jiang Anrao was summoned into the Qin Palace by King Qin Zhao.

"Young master, I summoned you here because of an unkind invitation." King Qin Zhao still didn't talk much. Seeing Jiang Anrao's arrival, he screened away the rest and went straight to the topic.

I have something to do with you!

"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Anrao guessed that he was calling himself this skill to kill King Yiqu?
"Some time later, someone will come to the palace to see the Queen Mother. The visitor is fierce. Although there are many female officials in the palace, they may not be able to protect the Queen Mother in critical times. Therefore, I want to ask the powerful man to live in the palace during these days to protect the Queen Mother's safety. "

King Qin Zhao said, "It would be better if there are other women with outstanding skills together with the giant."

Jiang Anrao did not agree immediately. He thought for a moment and then said:

"Of course there is no problem on my side. It's just that the last time I saw the Queen Mother was many years ago, and there was some unpleasantness between me and the Queen Mother. I rushed into the palace at this time. Although it was to protect the Queen Mother's safety, I'm afraid the Queen Mother would not be happy to see her. I."

This has indeed been happening for many years.

Around Jiang Anrao's fifteenth year, the Queen Mother wanted to help Mi Rong win over the forces in Shu, and then proposed that Jiang Anrao marry Yan Gu, who came from Shu. At that time, Jiang Anrao refuted her face openly and secretly.In the end, the Queen Mother's right to participate was taken away, and the third of the four nobles were expelled. This incident was the trigger.

After so many years, Jiang Anrao believed that the Queen Mother was not forgetful enough to forget this matter.

Now that she is asked to "protect" the Queen Mother, it's strange that Queen Mother Xuan would be happy to see her!
