Chapter 377: Crowning and Marrying a Wife

"The military advisor is right!" Liu Chan echoed: "Not to mention the situation of grain and grass, the most important thing now is my father's body.

If he fights for a long distance, he is afraid that his father's health will be unfavorable, and if his father does not go, he is afraid that he will return in vain. ”

As soon as Fa Zheng heard this, he reacted that Liu Bei's body could not go out now.

Fa Zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and confessed to Liu Bei: "Lord, I was thinking about it and ignoring the physical condition of the lord, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

"Eh, it's fine!" Liu Bei waved his hand to let Fa Zheng get up, and said in a deep voice: "Our army has attacked the public security for more than half a year, and most of the accumulated grain and grass have been consumed.

The remaining grain and grass were not enough to support the second attack, and the soldiers and horses were very tired. Although Cao Cao died, he was treacherous and must have a back hand, so he would not send troops to the Northern Expedition for the time being.

Sun Quan sent a messenger and said that he would marry his sister Sun Shangxiang to Adou, and Sun Liu would marry, I don't know what you think? ”

Zhang Song arched his hand and said: "At present, Cao Cao's new funeral, Sun Quan, and Cao Pi are not the enemies of the lord, but if Sun Quan and Cao Pi unite, it will be difficult for the lord to be one enemy and two."

At present, since Sun Quan proposed to make peace, of course, he promised him as a good, so it also let Cao Pi know that Sun Quan had fallen to the lord. If he refuses, it is difficult to guarantee that Sun Quan will not fall to Cao Cao for this, and if the lord is the Northern Expedition in the future, Sun Quan will offend my Jingzhou again, and the constraints will be too great. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded, and then looked at Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and the others.

Seeing this, Xu Shu arched his hand and muttered: "Lord, there are pros and cons to this matter, if Sun Quan's sister is virtuous and virtuous, and the prince marries her, she will go to her husband's family, which is beneficial to the prince."

If Sun Quan's sister has a bad character and a deep heart, after the prince marries, she will go to her mother's family, and even steal secrets to make profits for Jiangdong, which is a blessing in disguise.

Therefore, whether the prince marries Sun Quan's sister or not depends on her character! ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, twisted his beard and said: "I also sent someone to Jiangdong to inquire, this daughter is the daughter of Sun Wentai's brother Sun Jing, who is sixteen years old, Sun Jing died early, and was raised by Sun Quan's mother.

She abides by filial piety on weekdays, and regards Sun Quan's mother as her own mother, Sun Quan's mother was seriously ill during this time, and she has been serving between the beds, and her conduct is not bad.

It's just that this woman doesn't like embroidery and weaving, she loves dancing knives and guns, and I'm afraid it's not good to teach her husband and children, but this is a little bad. ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, and said: "As long as you have good conduct, it's okay to dance with a knife and a gun, isn't it the same for General Guan's daughter?" ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, he already had a plan in his heart, looked at Liu Chan and said, "Adou, since this is the case, I will agree to this family business for you."

Now that you are thirteen years old, you can also marry a wife and have children, and next month you will choose a good day and an auspicious day, and I will hold a crown ceremony for you in advance, and give you a watch!

When the time comes, you can marry a wife and have children, and then I can also hold my grandson, hahaha! ”

In ancient times, men generally held a crown ceremony at the age of 20, and the elders took the table characters for them, indicating that adults could start a family and start a business, and go out to serve as official officials in the imperial court.

And the woman is fifteen years old and the age is the one, which means that she can marry when she reaches adulthood.

However, this is just a general situation, not ironclad, in the princely family, in order for the children of the family to spread as soon as possible, a crown ceremony will be held for the heirs in advance, and the words will be taken.

For example, Cao Cao's son Cao Chong had a table character at the age of thirteen.

For example, Lu Xianggong was crowned at the age of thirteen, Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of Emperor Wanli, was asked to be crowned at the age of fifteen, and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong was crowned at the age of sixteen.

And crowning, and Lu is not the age at which you can get married.

The crowning and the crowning represent adulthood, and the marriage of men and women is much earlier than this.

For example, at present, the age of marriage between men and women is generally 15 years old for men and 13 years old for women.

And this limitation does not mean that a man can marry a wife at the age of fifteen, and a woman can marry at the age of thirteen.

Rather, it means that a man must marry a wife before the age of fifteen, and a woman must marry before the age of thirteen.

In ancient times, the survival rate of infants was low, and sometimes it took several births to survive one, and in order to ensure population growth, most of them were early marriage and early childbearing.

Especially in times of war, the population is seriously depleted, so this age of marriage and childbirth must be mentioned on the premise. Fortunately, the ancients were precocious, and it was okay to get married and have children at this age.

As for Liu Chan, who wants to marry a wife and have children at the age of thirteen, there are countless among the people.

The civil and military ministers were also very happy when they heard this, and shouted: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!" ”

The matter of the main family's branches and leaves is also a major concern of the courtiers, and Liu Bei was nearly fifty years old before Liu Chan had Liu Chan, which made the courtiers who followed them anxious.

If Liu Bei has no children, as soon as Liu Bei dies, there will be no one to inherit the foundation, and the power will be gone.

Now that Liu Chan can marry a wife, spread out his branches, and expand the Liu clan, it can be regarded as completing a matter of the ministers.

After the matter was discussed, Liu Bei sent an envoy to Jiangdong to hire him, and agreed that after Liu Chan was crowned, he could choose a good day to marry Sun Shangxiang.

On March 25, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Liu Bei held a crown ceremony for Liu Chan in Nanzheng, invited guests, tied his hair and crowned him, and gave Liu Chan the title of heir.

Liu Chan's Zen character means the non-relative transfer of the emperor's power, which is the meaning of Zen.

And the heir means the heir chosen by the public.

Just like in ancient times, Yao Chan let Yu Shun, Shun Chan let Yu Yu, they are the heirs elected by the public, Liu Chan is the heir, that is, this meaning, the word inherits the name.

Originally, before Liu Chan was crowned, his hair was scattered behind his back, but now that he is crowned, the hair that is scattered behind his back is also tied up and fixed with a jade crown.

After a few months of recuperation, Liu Bei's health improved slightly and he led his troops back to Yizhou.

After returning to Yizhou, it was already May.

Chengdu, in Liu Bei's study.

Liu Bei said to Liu Chan: "Heir, there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Quan has accepted the dowry.

Now you have a total of five fiancΓ©es, including Feng'er, Xingcai, Shui Luoyi, Wu Xun, and Sun Shangxiang, among them, Feng'er, Shui Luoyi, and Sun Shangxiang are slightly older than you, so they can be married.

Xingcai, Wu Xun is the same age, but he can wait for next year to get married.

I asked someone to calculate the birthdays of you and Feng'er, Shui Luoyi, and Sun Shangxiang, and between September and November, you and them have three days together.

Sun Shangxiang is Sun Quan's sister after all, so the marriage date is the first, which is the eighth day of September. Now there are still more than three months until September, but it will also take more than a month to travel from Jiangdong to Yizhou. So it's time for you to leave for Jingzhou to greet your family. ”

Liu Chan arched his hand and said, "No, the child will go back and prepare." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Well, let's go!" ”
