Chapter 1055: Counterattack from the Emperor


What is the situation of an eleven-year-old child in this day and age?

In an ordinary family, an eleven-year-old child already has to take on some work, such as chopping wood, carrying water and grooming the house, and following adults to plow or harvest when the farm is busy.

Affluent families, at the age of 11, are probably the initiation stage, and in addition to reading and reading, they will participate in some family affairs, such as managing tenants and taking over some businesses.

At the age of eleven, the enlightenment stage has long passed, and it is the time to enter intensive reading, and their lives during this period of time will be very regular, in addition to their daily routine is studying, and occasionally they will be taken out by adults for social activities, laying a good foundation for a more complex future.

To put it simply, in today's society, there is absolutely no innocence at the age of eleven, and it is even more impossible to do nothing other than eating, sleeping, and reading.

Men in Han families, no matter what the family environment is, poverty or wealth, have a main theme, and the first outlook on life that their parents first give them is to have a sense of responsibility.

This sense of responsibility can be in the form of undertaking some of the work of the family, or it can be in the form of filial piety to the elders and the care of younger peers.

Over the years, Zhuxia has been passed down by relying on the values shared by generations after generations, including responsibility and filial piety, which usually comes first.

Of course, filial piety is not to move your mouth, the most practical way is to help parents bear some labor on weekdays, reduce the burden on parents, and mature in the process, and slowly become the parents of their own children.

As men, they will also be introduced into the notion that once they have the opportunity, they must seize the opportunity to make their family better.

Usually in response to the king's call, he set foot on the battlefield to defend against the enemy, and at the same time, he obtained meritorious deeds and became a human being.

In normal Zhuxia society, men are never afraid to step on the battlefield, on the contrary, they are eager to be called by the king, relying on this way as an opportunity to change their life destiny.

Shouldering family responsibilities, taking care of the elders and the young, and responding to the king's call are the life values of the Han boys in the classical social state, and they are also the trajectory of the lives of most boys.

Compared with the responsibility of men and the pursuit of meritorious service, the daughter of the Han family will be more simple and boring.

As long as it is not a rich and wealthy family, daughters will never have the process of reading and literacy, they have been involved in labor since the moment they are sensible, and then in the labor they understand the life skills that their daughters should know, and at the same time, all the innocent romance is consumed.

Even in a wealthy family, teaching their daughters to read and write is only to make them reasonable, not to teach them what kind of evil they have become.

Generally, rich and noble families teach their daughters how to run a family and become virtuous helpers, and their standards for choosing a mate are usually not low.

The daughters married by ordinary people are consumed by labor and are innocent and romantic, and the daughters who are not ordinary people mature early in a series of education, what is free and unrestrained, and even lives for themselves, in fact, does not exist in the classical society of Zhuxia at all.

Dragons do not intersect with snakes, phoenixes do not interact with maggots, they have always existed in society, and the right pair will always be the mainstream.

Occasionally, the dragon marries the pheasant and the phoenix marries the yi, which is a betrayal of their own class, and it is destined to be resisted, but there is a class that will drool full of envy, and then be beautified and passed down by an unknown number of people, becoming a story full of falsehoods.

The people from different walks of life in that story, even if they both die of hatred after the union, the two of them will definitely die in unyielding and sweetness, and will not describe what kind of struggle and suffering they have experienced.

For example, the superior class does not accept them, and the ordinary class is full of rejection of them, which has become absolute isolation.

"There are a lot of suitable candidates, but there are not many suitable candidates."

Cui Wan was full of distress and held a stack of scrolls: "The Xu woman is the most suitable, but it is also the most inappropriate." ” Xu's daughter is, of course, Xu Zheng's Xu, he has a lot of children, the youngest daughter is only ten years old, in terms of family background and age, she is a good candidate for the crown princess.

"The Holy One is in the prime of life."

Tuoba Xiu has often come and gone to Cui Wan in the past few days, and participated in Liu Shen's selection of concubines: "It's not that my sister talks too much, I chose Xu's daughter, and I got involved in military power too early." ” Cui Wan just knew that it was very bad, so she was distressed: "Looking around, only the Sang girl is left."

"The Cui family and the Sang family have been fighting for so many years, and they have only been suppressed by His Majesty in recent years."

Tuoba Xiu really couldn't help it, and after laughing a few times, he said, "I really want to become a relative."

The basic plate of the two families is in the original Jizhou, one side will definitely squeeze the living space of the other party if it wants to grow, and it is inevitable to have competition, many times the competition is even very vicious, there is no big scene of fighting, I don't know how many people are dying quietly.

Later, the battle between the Cui clan and the Sang clan was forcibly stopped by the emperor, and at the same time they withdrew their forces in Jizhou, the Cui clan operated Monan to the north, and the Sang clan went southwest to intervene in the Indochina Peninsula.

Not only the Cui family and the Sang family, except for the Ji family, which did not have much to run, the rest of the major families with great business were withdrawn from the Han Empire and transferred to some new occupation areas to operate.

The emperor does not allow the families to make trouble in their homeland, but they go outside does not mean that there is no competition, but compared to the life and death when they were at home, competition and cooperation coexist outside, and the smell of blood is not much less, but the relationship has become more complicated.

Cui Wan was not the slightest annoyed by Tuoba Xiu's teasing.

She was afraid of Tuoba Xiu before, just because she was afraid that Tuoba Xiu would give birth to a prince and threaten Liu Shen's position as the prince.

After so many years, Tuoba Xiu still has no son under his knees, and it is difficult for the woman to conceive again when she is close to forty years old, and even if she is pregnant with a boy, the difference between the newborn and Liu Shen is at least eleven years old Later, Cui Wan figured it out a little, she felt that she was also confused before, how could she ignore the fact that Tuoba Xiu was born, that is, how if Tuoba Xiu is favored by the Son of Heaven, what if there is no Xianbei family in the world, Tuoba Xiu is destined not to sit on that unique throne even if he has a son.

After figuring it out, Cui Wan began to try her best to please Tuoba Xiu, and on the premise that she would not threaten Liu Shen, she felt that the more Tuoba Xiu was favored by the Son of Heaven, the shield that blocked any rookie for herself.

"Why don't my sister probe the concubine's tone for me," the concubine in Cui Wan's mouth is naturally Sang Miao.

She can please Tuoba Xiu, but she will never lower her status to Sang Miao, regardless of dignity or status, she is based on the level of threat: "Shen'er and Sang Qing are still very suitable." ” Tuoba Xiu smiled silently, and his chin was agreed.

Cui Wan was naturally extremely happy to see Tuoba Xiu agree, and soon fell into her own thoughts.

Tuoba Xiu has a good relationship with most people, and he doesn't particularly go to anyone to make enemies with.

This is because she knows what makes her identity special, at first she didn't want to come into contact with people, and later because of the Tuoba family.

Now there are no Xianbei people, and the Tuoba clan is the only one with the best fate among the many Xianbei tribes, and most of the tribesmen have become part of the Han people, not like those Xianbei tribes who were destroyed or enslaved.

The world thinks that it is Tuoba Xiu's relationship, but she understands what kind of person Liu Yan is, and she may have some relationships in it, but it is definitely not the main reason.

Liu Yan is not a person who can be swayed by women at all, he is simply as strong as iron in the eyes of many people, especially in dealing with foreign races.

From ancient times to the present, only Liu Yan clearly issued an order to kill slaves and kill Hu in the body of a king, and those kings in the past did not do this no matter how much they hated foreign races.

How could a king who can say "anyone who is not of my race can be killed" could change anything because he loves a woman.

So far, the world still mistakenly believes that Liu Yan is not cruel to Tuoba Xianbei because of Tuoba Xiu, and they really can't imagine that Liu Yan is because Tuoba Xianbei has contributed to history in some aspects, which caused Liu Yan to treat him differently.

Zhuxia is a relatively simple nation, as long as all the people obey one person, what kind of will that person is, it will not harm its own interests or will not damage it too seriously, and the people will basically follow.

For example, if Liu Yan wants to sweep away the alien race, first of all, everyone also longs for such a situation, and then if he can be meritorious in the process of cleaning, he must follow enthusiastically.

Sang Qing is Sang Yu's youngest daughter, only nine years old this year, three years younger than Liu Shen, and at the same time, the Han family system has not reached the age of marriage.

Cui Wan will choose Sang Qing, obviously there is no emotional foundation between Liu Shen and Sang Qing, but she simply wants to strengthen the strength around Liu Shen.

"My sister can go and talk about it."

Tuoba Xiu shook his head: "I'm afraid Shang Shuling will refuse." ” "Why" Cui Wan was really puzzled: "The crown princess, how noble, how could she refuse?"

"Queen, why is the Xu family girl not suitable" Tuoba Xiu knows what it is like to be a mother, and she just wants to give her child the best, but she will ignore many things: "The prince marries the Xu family's daughter, I am afraid that he is suspected of being involved in military power."

The family of the Sang Lady is recognized as the first family in the world, so what will there be?"

Cui Wan really felt that it was a good thing for Tuoba Xiu to be involved at this moment.

"Say something that my sister will think about more."

Tuoba Xiu asked very seriously: "Does my sister think that the Holy Lord is willing to be crowned a prince so early?"

Cui Wan was silent.

She had thought about this aspect, but she had never subconsciously avoided it, and she didn't dare to think too deeply.

"The Holy One doesn't think he's old."

Tuoba Xiu shook his head and said: "To put it mildly, the saint is in the prime of life but has a prince, and the matter of canonizing the prince will make the saint feel old." ” Cui Wan admitted that Tuoba Xiu was taking a big risk to tell the truth, and had to force a smile.

There is one thing, since the canonization of the crown prince, Liu Yan has never been to the queen since he returned to the harem, and at the same time, the more high-ranking concubines are also very interested in receiving Liu Yan.

Since then, Liu Yan has gone more to those low-grade women, and for high-grade concubines, it is fortunate that Liu Yan does not spoil someone very often.

When Zhuo Xiang came in, he saw that the two were silent, hesitated for a moment, took out a notebook from his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the roster sent by the Ministry of Rites." ” It is not only the emperor who can be called His Majesty, but the queen can also be called His Majesty, because "Majesty" is originally a step to ascend, specifically referring to the steps of the emperor's palace, and the queen of the world is qualified to be called Your Majesty.

Then, the queen of the Han family has never been called "Niangniang", who dares to call the queen of the Han family "Niangniang", the nine clans are not enough to be killed.

"Roster" Cui Wan was obviously stunned, took the roster and looked at it, and seemed to be a little unresponsive: "This is" Zhuo Xiang had read the roster in advance and knew that the draft list sent by the Ministry of Rites there, but in this matter, the Ministry of Rites had overstepped it.

For a country, everything is bound by law, whose authority is whose authority, for example, the draft should be proposed by the queen, and the Ministry of Rites has enough rights to select some people to join the list, but the Ministry of Rites is not qualified to open a draft.

Zhuo Xiang deliberately mentioned this: "When the minister came over, I heard that Zhou Ming, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had just died of illness. ” Cui Wan looked at the roster, there was the signature of the person who made the payment, isn't it Zhou Ming of the Ministry of Rites Market She reacted immediately, Zhou Ming's death has paid the price for overpassing.

If she refuses to be drafted, or continues to pursue the Ministry of Rites, then things will go in a different direction.

"Let's do it."

Cui Wan's face was red and white, and her hand holding the roster trembled very much: "It's going to be grand." ” Zhuo Xiang saluted "No", hesitated again and again but didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"Why is this saint" Cui Wan said to Tuoba Xiu in great misery: "The minister has not persecuted the saint to establish a prince."

The queen is also a minister of the emperor, and she can also call herself a concubine when she is humble, but there is absolutely no such self-title as "concubine".

In the Han Dynasty, "concubines" are a kind of submission to China by foreign barbarians, and there is the sentence "Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all the concubines of the Han Dynasty".

If the emperor's empress and concubines call themselves "concubines", they see themselves as subservient barbarians, and the women of the harem are more uneducated or idiots to use this self-title Tuoba Xiu was speechless at first, and then said with a smile: "It's good."

Cui Wan was stunned more times today than before, and asked puzzledly: "This is okay" "It's good not to target the prince."

Tuoba Xiu pointed at herself, and then pointed to Cui Wan: "We are all old and decrepit, but the saint is still a dragon and a tiger, isn't it good to have a new color":
