Chapter 400 One Hundred Thousand Heroes
There was a widely circulated false saying in later generations, that is, polygamy. In fact, there was a strict patriarchal system in ancient times. There were differences between legitimate and illegitimate women. If they were all wives, wouldn’t it be a mess? Therefore, the ancient marriage system was called monogamy and multiple concubines. Of course, this is not accurate enough. For example, according to the rules of the Qin Dynasty, only one wife was allowed to be allowed to be one wife and one concubine. If there were two concubines, the ears were cut off. If two wives were married, the head would be beheaded.
As for the so-called "single wife", or the two-headed big ones, it only appeared during the Daoguang period. It was very, very late. The official did not recognize the "single wife" before this.
Someone wants to ask, is there anyone who can marry two wives?
Of course, there are, after all, there are some tough people in every era who can break the rules.
For example, Wang Maozhong, a general of the Tang Dynasty, once helped Emperor Xuanzong of Tang seize the throne and made great contributions. Li Longji was very grateful to Wang Maozhong, thinking that his original wife was from a poor family and was not worthy of this great hero, so he gave him a famous lady.
But Wang Maozhong is a man with affection and righteousness. His original wife gave birth to two sons for him. How could he abandon her wife easily if she didn't leave the court? Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also in a difficult situation and finally decided to give her a special gift and marry her, just like her two wives. Later, I don't know if she was addicted to doing this, but Li Longji actually gave An Lushan's two wives to the country's wives at the same time.
In other words, Wang Maozhong and An Lushan both have two legitimate wives.
Things like this were not rare in the open Tang Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, the regulations became more and more strict. No one admitted the wife, let alone the marriage was married...
Zhao Zhen also had a whim, so he did not hesitate to break the convention and allow Wang Ning'an to marry his second wife.
Su Xun knew the most about the story of all dynasties. He didn't want his daughter to be wronged, so he asked Wang Ning'an to recover Yan Yun and then marry Su Baniang. The old man thought that with his extraordinary achievements, he could only get the emperor to issue an order and allow Wang Ning'an to marry together, so that he would not be considered wronged by his daughter.
But unexpectedly, before he could recover Yan Yun, Wang Ning'an found out the root cause of the little prince's poisoning and destroyed the lineage of the Runan Prince's Mansion.
Of course, Zhao Zhen was grateful to Wang Ning'an for his contributions, so he did not hesitate to make an exception and let him marry his two wives.
After the order was issued, surprisingly no one came out to stop him. On the contrary, they rushed to give gifts to the Wang family and congratulate the marriage. Their attitude was so flattering that it even made people disgusted.
There is nothing wrong with this. Wang Ning'an got the title of Tongpingzhangshi and is in a fair manner with you. Further, he can rule the world by entering the East and West Mansions. Even if he remains still and guards the Royal Bank, he will still exist in terror.
Moreover, he represented the generals, the Cao family, the Pan family, the Yang family, the Liu family, the Gao family, the Huyan family... In short, all the generals that can be counted are standing behind Wang Ning'an.
In addition, Wang Ning'an is also the leader of the Six Arts Academy. At present, the momentum of Six Arts is getting better and better. The world's talents are rushing to enter the Six Arts Academy to study. In another three to five years, the Six Arts Academy will inevitably explode in the field of science, and then the world will be Wang Ning'an's disciples.
There is money, there are soldiers, there are people!
As a person, he has achieved the role of Wang Ning'an. Some people like him and some hate him, but no one can ignore him!
It would be even more unwise to offend Wang Ning'an in small matters like marriage.
What's more, the Su family is not an ordinary character. Su Xun became the enlightenment master of the little prince. As the only prince, the world will be the little prince in the future. With the status of the first emperor, Su Laoquan will be the prime minister sooner or later as long as he does not die. He has two talented and scary sons. To be honest, the Su family will definitely become a huge family like the Lu family, Chen family, and Han family in the future.
What is a strong marriage? This is it!
No matter whether it is for Wang Ning'an or the Su family, no one dares to neglect it.
But many people clearly feel that this marriage has been much lower in grade and has been much smaller than the previous marriage of the Yang family’s daughter…
In the bridal chamber, the bright candle is very hot, as bright as daytime.
"You are just too thoughtful." Yang Xi held his son and taught Su Baniang a lesson: "A marriage is only once in a lifetime. Why not be a lively and generous? This is the marriage given by His Majesty, not a sneaky one?"
Su Baniang smiled sweetly, "Sister loves me, but my sister is satisfied."
She stretched out her arm and hugged the little thing in her arms.
The little guy, who was only a few months old, was very happy and kept jumping on his aunt's hand, grinning with his little mouth, and smirking wildly. Su Baniang showed a sweet smile.
"What a beautiful child, my sister is so lucky."
Yang Xi was very proud and comforted: "Sister, don't worry, you will have a baby soon."
When she mentioned this, Su Baniang's face turned red, she leaned over to Yang Xi and said shyly: "Sister, does it... hurt a lot?"
"It hurts, of course it hurts!" Yang Xi touched his son's head, compared it, and sighed: "A piece of meat that fell off his body and tear people into two halves. Life is worse than death... But seeing him grow up little by little, everything is worth it."
Yang Xi muttered: "When I was born, the little thing was ugly, red and wrinkled, and my facial features were squeezed in the wrong place, like a little ghost. Look, in just a few months, my face has become white and tender, and my little face has grown. I feel so much like his father..."
Su Baniang complained secretly, obviously Yang Xi was wrong, but then she thought about it and she broke the pot. If it hurts, can she still compare to having a baby?
Let him go if he wants to die!
Su Baniang sat in her new house. It was midnight when Wang Ning'an came back from outside in a state of alcohol, and slept in the bed, sleeping in the dark.
Su Baniang stared at Wang Ning'an, who was like a dead dog, and suddenly frowned.
Why is it different from what I imagined? The flowers are so full and the moon is full? Are you holding the faces together? Are you kind and the girl interested? Are you so close?
There is nothing, there is a stinky alcoholic!
Although she was very upset, she still tried her best to help Wang Ning'an untied her clothes and put him on the bed. The drowsy Wang Ning'an took advantage of the situation and grabbed Qianqian's hand.
His eyes blinked, looking a little naughty!
Su Baniang opened her mouth wide in shock... "You"
"Shh." Wang Ning'an smiled and said embarrassedly: "I haven't learned how to face two people at the same time. I'm sorry!" He lowered his head and pecked the back of his hand gently. Su Baniang felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her little face turned red quickly, as if it were solid, and it ripened in an instant.
She stretched out her white lotus-like arms and wrapped them around Wang Ning'an's neck.
"I'll learn with you!"
Wang Ning'an laughed. It turned out to be a smart girl. He hugged Su Baniang's waist tightly. It was the first time that a man was so close to him. Even though both sides were familiar with each other, Su Baniang still tightened her body and couldn't even breathe. She was extremely nervous.
As an old driver, Wang Ning'an certainly had to comfort his beautiful wife. The two of them merged into one and became a real couple...
Wang Ning'an was very worried that if one person in the family would be a mess, it would be a mess and not peaceful... In fact, it was not that trouble, at least he didn't. Yang Xi was wholeheartedly taking care of his son, and sometimes he was even unwilling to talk to Wang Ning'an, wasting time. There was nothing to say about old couples and old couples.
As for Su Baniang, she is an extremely smart and sensitive person. She originally snatched half of her husband away. No matter how unscrupulous it is, it makes even more unreasonable.
It doesn’t matter if a wife is willing to be a green leaf, and the inner house of the Wang family is extremely harmonious.
Wang Ning'an really wished that life would continue like this, but he was born to work hard and could not be idle even if he wanted to.
After two months of competition and preparation, Zhao Zhen's first Northern Tour finally began.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty were almost the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all authentic otaku.
Zhao Da and Zhao Er will not talk about it. Zhao Zhen’s father, Emperor Zhenzong, has probably gone out twice in his life. Once, he was forced by Kou Zhun to go to the front line of Chanzhou and fought with the Liao Kingdom. Once, he was running to Mount Tai for Fengshan.
Both of these results were not good.
The first time, Zhenzong was reluctant, and the second time, he was superstitious. He wanted to improve his status, but the Chanyuan Alliance and the shame of annual monies became an indelible mark.
Zhao Zhen didn't want to follow his father's path anymore. He decided to tour the north and decided to show the courage of the emperor to do something that will be admired by future generations and be remembered by the emperor forever!
The people who accompanied Zhao Zhen to the north this time included Fu Bi, Tang Jie, Di Qing, Ouyang Xiu, and four ministers. In addition, Jia Changchao, Zeng Gongliang, Han Qi and Wang Gongchen were responsible for staying behind, mainly Jia Changchao, handling the daily affairs of the court.
There were 5,000 Jingsai Iron Cavalry accompanying Zhao Zhen to the north and 10,000 Japanese troops.
As a close minister of the emperor, Wang Ning'an had to accompany Zhao Zhen to the north.
"Let Ba Niang accompany you!"
Yang Xi said generously.
Wang Ning'an had some taste and couldn't help but complain half-true and half-fake: "You just don't care about me? You just threw your husband to someone else?"
Yang Xi glared at him, "What does it mean to be casual? Sister Su is also the wife you married by the mediator. Besides... Our son is only a few months old and is most likely to get sick at this time. Doctor Qian has told him that he must take good care of him..." Yang Xi felt that he valued the children too much and ignored her husband, and said apologetically: "When in another year, our son will be a little older, okay?"
"Do I dare say it's not good?"
Wang Ning'an stuck out his big hand and hugged Yang Xi.
After giving birth, the little girl seemed much more plump, round and full, extremely attractive. Wang Ning'an could no longer control her. The couple enjoyed her affectionately until she exhausted all her energy.
...
The flags were flying, people shouted and horses were neighing. Zhao Zhen left the capital with the support of all the important officials and the elites, and his horses. Their first stop was Daming Mansion.
In the past year, Wang Deyong recruited 50,000 new troops and stepped up training. There were a total of 100,000 new troops in the entire Hebei East Road, plus Cangzhou and other places, waiting for the emperor's inspection.
