0184 Princess Danyang
Regarding Yu Liang's fierce reprimand, Shen Zhezi was not too disgusted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although this guy is good at controlling the ban, secretly controlling the inside and outside, and subduing the etiquette law, in fact, he is a traitor, and he has long been contrary to the famous religion, and he really has no qualifications and position to reprimand him again. But in this situation, it is inevitable that people will be forced by the general trend, Yu Liang has his own personality factors in this step, but if he denies the feelings between him and the emperor, it is inevitably biased.
Shen Zhezi can feel the sadness inadvertently revealed in Yu Liang's demeanor, which can probably be regarded as a kind of emotional entanglement of the people, which has nothing to do with authority and power, but is just a conflict between reality and ideals. Even if it is himself, he has come to this point, if he has not made a choice against his will at all, it is impossible.
People naturally have their own social attributes and responsibilities that cannot be retreated, and blindly insisting on what they want and ignoring their social responsibilities is a betrayal of their fundamental meaning as a human being. Yu Liang was born in the overseas Chinese clan, and when he stood in this position, he naturally had the obligation to control the imperial power on behalf of the overseas Chinese clan, which did not change because of his personal emotional preferences.
Shen Zhezi is essentially a person like Yu Liang, although understanding does not mean agreeing, but if he is asked to make a choice, it should be similar to Yu Liang.
For example, it is immoral to use the emperor's dying wish to achieve a leap in his own politics, but it is a choice he must make, otherwise he can only exist in this situation as a vassal of overseas Chinese, without his own opinions, make more choices against his will, and ultimately achieve nothing.
Although I have met the princess once, it would be an exaggeration to say how deep the relationship is with each other. Regarding the emperor's deathbed entrustment and Yu Liang's stern reprimand, Shen Zhezi can make a guarantee that he is willing to bear the princess's life, fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a husband, and be more tolerant and understanding.
After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi said to Yu Liang: "Your Majesty does not see each other in the north and south, does not look at each other in a clear way, trusts each other, and is so gracious, I dare not lose it." ”
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Yu Liang's feelings in his heart were complicated, and he was relieved but also a little disappointed. The reason why he didn't want the Shen family to be fortunate to the emperor earlier was not necessarily because he looked down on the Shen family, but more because he valued his family.
Although he is in charge of the Chinese book, but there is little echo outside, Shen Chongju in the Huiji, at the critical moment to support him, can make the Chinese book decree more unimpeded. But now that the Shen family also has the identity of the emperor's relatives, the echoes between each other can no longer cooperate as before, and they will be estranged.
At the beginning of the Shen family's listing as a candidate for the emperor's son-in-law, Yu Liang made efforts to send his second brother Yu Yi to Jiangzhou, and the main intention was to no longer fully trust the Shen family, and began to cultivate his own Fang Zhen power.
After talking to Yu Liang about various etiquette arrangements later, Shen Zhezi withdrew from Taicheng. Although he did not meet the emperor on this trip, Shen Zhezi finally had a specific understanding of the emperor's intentions. I was relieved but also a little ashamed, and then my attitude towards the marriage in the near future also changed a little.
Originally, Shen Zhezi didn't pay much attention to the many cumbersome and unhelpful etiquette of the wedding, but now he pays a little attention to it. At least giving the princess a grand wedding before the emperor's death can not only show the importance of the princess, but also make the emperor more pleased, which can be regarded as a slight appreciation of the grace.
After returning home, Shen Zhezi explained the meaning of the wedding in the garden, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was fiercely opposed by the elders.
Shen Xian, the elder of the Western Sect, has been in good spirits recently, and he is full of interest in planning for Shen Zhezi's wedding, and when he hears that he wants to save the six salutes to worship, he is not happy: "This matter is not only a major event of my family, but also a major event of Nanshi. What's more, the princess is noble and subordinate to the minister's sect, which is condescending, how can she be condescending again! ”
The other old fellows also spoke out against it, they had been arguing about various etiquettes all this time, and they were tired of it, and they almost wanted to vent all their energy for the rest of their lives in this matter, how could they agree to the salute of time.
Shen Zhezi also knew the attitude of his family, and he had been watching many of their etiquette disputes during this time. In fact, he also recognized the emperor's meaning in his heart, and it may not be impossible to be grand when worshipping simply, and omitting many etiquettes can avoid many disputes over etiquette. For example, Nacai, who has been arguing the most fiercely in the family recently, has been in dispute over the number and size of the types of Nacai gifts, and even the color and size of the geese's feathers have been delayed.
This is just the first ceremony, there are so many left, if they are really so arguing, he won't want to get married this year. If the emperor can't support it and dies suddenly, then many ceremonial preparations will have to be stopped, and waiting for a few more years will involve too much energy and a lot of variables.
After a little muttering, Shen Zhezi might as well give his bottom and say to the clan elders: "Even if you don't take the bow, you really don't have to force the six courtesies to be complete. Nowadays, the north and the south are displaced, the etiquette is absurd, and it is difficult to have a law. I am in the book, etiquette may be simple, the princess's honorific title is still under discussion, if my family can exert force, should seek a big seal for the princess! ”
Originally, he planned to sit back and watch this matter come to pass, but after feeling the emperor's urgency, he also had a sense of urgency. Regarding the Zhang family's political wisdom and ability to do things, Shen Zhezi has a little bit of faith. Yu Liang is in the Chinese book, although he can express his position politically, but it is not good to exert force on the issue of resolving local disputes.
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, the elders of the clan also realized which was more important. The Shen family is not an old gateway to etiquette, and naturally attaches more importance to the practical benefits of the feudal city, and it was because the surprise was too much earlier that they quarreled over the false ceremony, but now they have been reminded by Shen Zhezi, even if they have awakened.
The discussion of the two counties of Danyang is no longer a secret. Compared with the political advantages of overseas Chinese, this kind of rural demarcation undoubtedly has more say in Nanshi. As a result, the elders temporarily gave up the dispute over rituals and laws, and turned to the four sides to contact the old and encourage the recitals, which inevitably mixed with complicated exchanges of interests.
For a time, it became a trend for the Sanwu family to play for the princess to ask for the seal, although the real Qingwang Gaomen was still able to maintain self-restraint out of political considerations, but the old portals that had dealings with the Shen family flocked to it. In particular, Wuxing and Huiji have fallen into a state of frenzy, not only the officials have written one after another, but even those who are in the savages have spoken, and even went north to Gyeonggi to ask for a seal.
Throughout May, there was an endless stream of cars, horses, boats and boats from Wuzhong to Gyeonggi, and many celebrities from Wuzhong and the three elders of the township came to Duzhong to ask for sealing. Anyway, the fiefs invited by the princess are the two counties of Danyang, and for them, they are grateful for the generosity of others, and the expenses to and from Gyeonggi are reimbursed by the Shen family, only as a publicly-funded tour.
The He family of Jiangbiao Confucianism, the Yu family of the scriptures, and the Kong family of the descendants of the saints were all transported to Jiankang City by boat and boat by the Shen family. In addition to making speeches at various gatherings in the capital every day, there are also books to Taicheng, and there are even groups of people knocking on the queries and asking for seals.
Witnessing such a big battle, these overseas Chinese sects in the capital realized what kind of background the Shen family's new gateway already had in Wuzhong. They can despise the Shen family even politically, in Qingwang, and in terms of family, but in terms of the fundamental local influence of the family business, it is already beyond their reach!
With such a big battle, no matter how much criticism there is from those people in Danyang County, it is also the mantis arm blocking the car and cannot be stopped. At the end of May, Taichung issued an edict, and the eldest daughter of the emperor, Sima Xingnan, the lord of Sui'an County, was named Princess Danyang, and there were 7,800 households in Jurong and Qu'a counties. As for Sergeant Wu, who asked for the title of the princess, he also chose the elderly and virtuous to give preferential treatment.
This incident can be said to have completely revealed the posture of the head of the Shen family and Wu Zhong. And the reason why it can be created is that in addition to the old connections accumulated by the Shen family in the past few generations, it is also because of the substantial jump in the past few years.
Needless to say, Wu Xing is the basic plate of the Shen family, and while the water network is connected and the transportation is convenient, it also increases the cohesion of Wu Xingshi's circle. Enjoying the benefits of convenient water transportation, the Wuxing families are inseparable from the big ship of the Shen family. Once abandoned, it is natural that someone else will quickly jump up and take its place.
As for Huiji, it is thanks to Shen Chong and Yu Tan's change of place and help each other. Coupled with the emerging industry of salt drying in the salt pans, the originally large areas of uncultivated salt flats have exploded with huge potential, but they are also the power of the original Guild Inspectorate. The Huiji County Government took the lead in occupying it, and each family had a need, so there was a premise for political help and mutual help.
And on top of these reasons, there is a background of north-south hedging, so the scholars of the two counties rushed up to ask for the princess to have a sufficient motive.
As for this result, it was much better than Shen Zhezi imagined, he thought that it was excellent to be able to get the seal of one county, but now it is in both counties. Although there are far more than 8,000 households registered in these two counties, there are many old clans in Danyang Gyeonggi, and it is really difficult to liquidate them in one fell swoop. As a princess, such a fiefdom is already much beyond the specifications.
Even Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, who had great imperial power at the beginning of the Chinese Dynasty, did not have such a scale when his beloved daughter Princess Xiangcheng married Wang Dun!
The princess's fiefdom is not just a matter of face, although the princess's fiefdom has its own subordinates sent by the royal family to take care of it, but with Shen Zhezi's character of wanting to grab a few drops of water, how can he not ask. These two counties are close to Gyeonggi, and they have both geographical advantages and real capital, so they can be built into another basic plate, and the political and military significance is especially greater than the harvest of money and grain.
But Shen Zhezi also knows very well that although this move has benefited a lot, it can be regarded as a bad start. Now that many of the emperor's children have not been sealed, if this example is cited, it can be seen that the power of the next generation of clans will surely rise. But this is just someone else's hidden worry, and for Shen Zhezi, who is familiar with the trend of history, this problem is really not a concern.
Their own interests are already in the pocket, and if others want to cite examples, Shen Zhezi himself is a staunch opposition!
