Chapter 1032: Princess Pingyang
Zhang Nan finally determined that Wei Ling would definitely not be a traverser, and at the same time, this also made Zhang Nan very curious, why did Wang Mozhi marry his palm pearl to a gentleman?
For this matter, Zhang Nan was puzzled, but even if Zhang Nan didn't understand, but this did not prevent Comrade Lao Li's marriage, and finally Comrade Lao Li agreed to the marriage, just the morning of the second day after Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu finished drinking, Comrade Lao Li announced the news.
Although Wei Tianwu already knew it in his heart, but after he really heard that Comrade Lao Li had agreed in person, Wei Tianwu couldn't even find his eyes when he smiled.
In addition to the fact that Wang Mozhi and Wei Tianwu became in-laws attracted everyone's attention, there was another thing that also set off waves in the court.
At this time, Mingyue was standing in the main hall of Taiji Palace, looking at her clothes boredly, and she didn't know what she was thinking. And on the left side of Mingyue, the civil official group headed by Yu Shitai is all angry and has a posture of betraying it. On the right side of Mingyue, there is a group of military generals headed by Cheng Yanjin, who did not blow their beards and stare like civil officials, but obviously they also showed a posture that would never back down.
Comrade Lao Li sat on the dragon chair with his forehead and listened to Cheng Yanjin's quarrel with the entire civil and official group, this quarrel has been going on for nearly half an hour, and even Comrade Li Er did not find out that Cheng Yanjin still has such eloquence.
One person was not afraid of the entire Yushitai, but on the contrary, the stars were flying wildly, and he looked like Zhuge Liang was fighting the Confucianism in Jiangdong.
"Your Majesty, women are not in line with the ancestral system as officials, and I hope the emperor will think twice." A speaker jumped out and said.
For Comrade Lao Li, letting Mingyue enter the court as an official is already a groundbreaking thing, and Comrade Lao Li has also made great concessions, that is, it has been said very clearly that Mingyue's official position is just a vacant position and does not have any substantive rights, but even so, Comrade Lao Li proposed to make Mingyue an official in the early dynasty was still strongly opposed by the Yanguan group.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the officials, mainly because the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is really not high.
China's feudal ruling class uses Confucianism as its ruling ideology, and Confucianism emphasizes three obedience and four virtues, three guidelines and five constants, a woman follows her father before she marries, her husband obeys her husband after marriage, and her husband obeys her son after her husband's death, as well as the constraints of the husband as a wife.
The general founding emperor will also set up the ancestral precept that the harem does not interfere in politics.
The superiority of men and women in Confucianism is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is completely impossible to modify this thing, at least in Zhang Nan's opinion. After all, there is no feminism in Datang.
Even if she is as virtuous as Empress Changsun, she herself knows that she doesn't discuss more things about the court in front of Comrade Lao Li, and now she wants to let Mingyue enter the court as an official, for those officials who take Confucianism as the guiding ideology and theoretical basis, it is simply a slap in the face.
"Are you stupid? Isn't what the emperor said clear enough? Miss Mingyue didn't enter the court at all, and she didn't have any real power at all, even if she came, she would be on a temporary post in the Air Force, and I, the commander of the Air Force, hadn't spoken yet, what are you talking about? Cheng Yanjin said with a dissatisfied face.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the court, Cheng Yanjin would probably have given this group of officials who didn't eat oil and salt an iron fist of justice.
"Your Majesty, how can this woman be a general?" Another speaker jumped out and said.
Comrade Lao Li was also annoyed, looked at Zhang Nan who was leaning against the pillar, and signaled Zhang Nan to quickly solve this matter, he didn't want to continue to listen to this farce, Zhang Nan saw Comrade Li's eyes and immediately understood, so he stood up and said: "This adult really can't agree with what he said. ”
As soon as Zhang Nan was born, the eyes of the officials were attracted to Zhang Nan, and even Mingyue, who had been playing with her clothes with her head down, turned her head a little surprised, and then handed Zhang Nan a "You are great" look.
"If Qingquan has anything to say, just say it, and say whatever you want." Comrade Lao Li was also very pleased, seeing Zhang Nan's confident appearance, Comrade Lao Li knew that Zhang Nan must have come prepared.
"Could it be that the emperor forgot so quickly that there is such a female general in our Tang Army?" Zhang Nan said slowly.
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Comrade Lao Li was also stunned, not only that, but also Chai Shao, who was a little older and more invisible than Zhang Nan on weekdays, also changed his face and looked at Zhang Nan.
"How can I forget, I guess Qingquan is talking about my third sister." Comrade Lao Li spoke.
That's right, the female general of the Tang Dynasty in Zhang Nan's mouth is the third sister of Comrade Li, the third daughter of Comrade Li Yuan, Princess Pingyang. As the first princess to lead thousands of troops and horses to lay down the country for her father, Princess Pingyang's courage and wisdom are not much better than that of Comrade Lao Li and the very talented Prince Yin.
Of course, this legendary woman is remembered not only for her military exploits, but also for her death.
After the Battle of Chang'an, the deeds of Princess Pingyang are no longer seen in historical records. It wasn't until six years later, in the sixth year of Wude, that the history books suddenly recorded her death. And the reason why this is recorded is mainly because her funeral is different, and it was buried with a military ceremony.
"The front and rear feathers are advocated, the big chariot, the building, the squad sword forty people, and the tiger armor." At that time, some ceremonial officials put forward opinions that the use of women to bury them was inconsistent with the ancient etiquette system, but they were scolded back by Comrade Li Yuan, who was eager to protect the woman.
Coupled with Princess Pingyang's military exploits and the role of the Tang Dynasty, this matter was carried out smoothly.
So far, Princess Pingyang has also become the only woman in history who has held a funeral for her in the army.
Zhang Nan had actually thought about it a long time ago, if Mingyue had difficulties in entering the court, he would take Princess Pingyang as an example, after all, there was such a good example in front of him, Zhang Nan naturally wanted to use Princess Pingyang, who had great military achievements, to plug the mouths of those officials.
"Hey, if my third sister is still alive, presumably she is standing here today, you won't have so many words, if you want to say that it violates the ancestral system, if it wasn't for the third sister who was stationed at Weize Pass to prevent the enemy from entering Shanxi, I'm afraid our founding of the Tang Dynasty will be delayed for a few years." When Comrade Lao Li said this, his face did show an expression of remembrance for his sister.
