Chapter 1167: Personal Matters (Part 1)

"Pidao Lixin (

In the east of the Daji Dynasty, Liuchen County, this is the place chosen by the Prince Yong.

Yes, you are not mistaken, it is Liu Chenxian, the plain name, without any ambiguity.

The population of the two big surnames Liu and Chen accounted for almost 70% of the county’s population, and the low-level officials who nearly monopolized the county, the imperial examination, and all the benefits were almost monopolized by the two big families. The other small surnames wanted to survive. The difficulty is not small.

When Liuchen County did not establish a county and was still a land outside of Hua, it was originally dominated by the Dongyi tribe and had its own set of customs.

Later, the Taizu of the Daji Dynasty, the Emperor Wu, the head of the Nine Emperors, conquered this area and ordered all the tribes to change their customs and customs. The two remaining tribes nearby were changed to Han surnames, which are today’s Liu and Chen surnames. .

When the two tribes resisted outsiders, they were still able to maintain peace. Once the foreign enemies retreated, they had to fight each other.

And this is also the clever arrangement of Taizu. Two surnames of similar strength are fighting. In order to gain a relative advantage, they must have a good relationship with the government to avoid being suppressed. Then, in the continuous exchanges, the degree of Sinicization is getting more and more. Deep, can't afford the merits of war.

In this way, it is the law of peace and stability. Facts have proved that this method has both good and bad.

The two tribes were indeed Chinese. Whether they participated in the imperial examination or paid tribute, they all behaved like ordinary families, and they did compete with each other, which produced certain benefits.

However, no matter how they compete, they are unwilling to share their status and power with outsiders. The foreign surname of Liuchen County wants to gain a certain status in this county. If the male is a parent, the female will naturally become a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, it is. The life of a servant.

Not only in Liuchen County, but throughout the Daji Dynasty, there was such a situation where the big clans controlled one party's power and competed against the court officials. However, Liuchen County was a typical one.

As a model, it also entered the eyes and ears of the imperial court. When choosing the place chosen by the princes, it became one of the alternatives, specifically to examine whether the prince can coordinate the interests of the big clans and the small clans.

It is naturally not difficult to get along with these common surnames, but in this way, the vision is too narrow, contrary to the original intention of the court, and without the support of the court, your prince will be a dragon and become a shallow water snake.

Therefore, it is necessary to handle the balance between large and small families. In fact, every place that the prince chooses, there are considerations and thoughts behind it.

After Emperor Yong took over Liuchen County, the first thing was to accept the daughters of the two families of Liu and Chen as concubines. No, you can't use concubines, you should use quasi concubines. If Yong Wang succeeds to the throne, she is the real concubine.

Don’t think about the second position. These two small families are vassals in Liuchen County.

King Yong took the daughter of the two families as quasi concubines, and did not know that it was the blessings of the two families who had cultivated for several lifetimes. His status in the country was instantly elevated to several levels, and the chances of the clansmen being promoted in the future were also much higher.

Nothing is absolute. If these two women have superb methods and have the ability to ups and downs, it is not impossible to climb the back position, but it is extremely difficult, and if you really want to be a second position, you can’t just rely on your mother’s family and you need to find new ones. Power.

The Yongwang na two women as quasi concubines, just this one move, smoothly let the two clan annex, save a lot of trouble, easily control and take over the affairs of Liu Chen County.

In addition, the people under King Yong also married the two families one after another. However, only King Yong was the only one who married two at a time. The people under King Yong would speak for which woman they married. A balance.

Among them, Wu Yi is also a normal person, and he also married a daughter, from the Chen family, called Chen Jiaying, and the eldest daughter of the Chen family, well-known in the Chen family.

There has not been a wife before. If you marry a wife, you are a regular wife. In addition, Wu Yi is the confidant of Emperor Yong, and his status is extremely high. In order to win the support of Wu Yi, Liu and Chen's second family went to war, and even made a fuss. In front of King Yong, King Yong finally made the decision to accept the daughter of the Chen family.

In fact, at first, King Yong also sought out people and talked with each other privately. In his words, it was implied that Wu Yi was marrying two families at once, which is not impossible. How could Wu Yi answer? Naturally, he refused. What did King Yong do? He wanted to imitate it again, and he still had the righteousness of being a courtier.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the object of the Chen family's marriage is the eldest daughter of the Chen family and the younger sister of Emperor Yong Zhun. It would be strange if it was not the daughter of the patriarch, but just a daughter of a collateral line.

This is the case, the Chen family still feels owed. In order to make Chen Jiaying a stable wife, the Chen family almost spent half of the family’s savings. As a dowry, the weight of the Chen family ~lightnovelpub.net~ Wu Yi's words is second only to the weight of Wu Yi's words. Patriarch, even Qiping.

Upside down to this level, this is the status of Wu Yi's body. At present, the body is the first person worthy of the name of Emperor Yong.

The Chen family attaches great importance to this marriage, second only to the daughter of the Yongwang family, and has always hoped that Chen Jiaying will give birth to an heir, as the crystallization of the marriage.

Although Wu Yi's body is full of energy and spirit in the talisman, it is the mate with Chen Jiaying, and the last child born is also the blood of the original owner of the body. There is no blood connection with Wu Yi, and there should be no worries.

It’s just that something like causation has little to do with reality. The question is whether you feel that there is cause and effect.

So some people are indifferent to everything, or the four are empty, or the people who are too forgotten, all cause and effect have nothing to do with it, and external disasters will not find him on their own.

If it were to be combined with Chen Jiaying, the last offspring would indeed have nothing to do with Wu Yi from the perspective of blood relationship.

Only from the emotional point of view, Wu Yi could not be too unforgiving, and cause and effect are inevitable. In the future, this son will encounter disasters, and he will have to help him. In this way, he becomes a member of the authorities and cannot be as calm as before.

Therefore, in the past four or five years, Wu Yi and Chen Jiaying have not given birth to any children.

The male is majestic, the female is gentle and lovely, and I have never heard of hidden diseases, first-class, good years, and no children were born. There were a lot of comments about this, and it was King Yong who also used this to joke Wu during the dinner. Yi.

Because of his worries about cause and effect, Wu Yi did not think about the issue of heirs for a long time. But in this way, the views of the Chen family changed. Is there any need to support an uncle who can't bring inheritance to the Chen family?
