The emperor pondered for a moment and then continued,
"Han Yun and the woman are aunt and nephew. If they get married, it is indeed against the ethics. I, Dachuan, rule the world with etiquette. If I don't pay attention to etiquette, I am afraid that etiquette will collapse and music will be destroyed, and the rule will be unstable."
If I bring this matter up to the court, I'm afraid those old guys will point their fingers at me and scold me. "
"That's why I met my father in private. I also know that those old stubborns in the court will definitely not agree to this. With Han Yun's temper, if he knows that someone is obstructing him, he will probably be angry again. "
Everyone knows the result of Han Yun's anger, and the Protector is the best example.
"Father, Fairy Xuanyi and Han Yun are not aunt and nephew. They have no blood relationship, but master and apprentice.
Fairy Xuanyi is just the junior sister of Han Yun's father.
Our court does not recognize these relationships, so legally speaking, Han Yun and Fairy Xuanyi are unmarried and the other is unmarried. They are both innocent and have no kinship. Their marriage is legally allowed. .
Han Yun asked his father to grant a marriage. Firstly, he wanted to use official certification to silence others. Secondly, he wanted to ask his father to issue a decree for the three of them to get married together and admit that Qi Xiaoyu and Fairy Xuanyi were both First wife. "
As soon as Wang Fugui said this, the emperor immediately raised his eyes to look at the zhezi, then dropped the zhezi in his hand and said,
"What you said is even more outrageous. If he and his aunt are married, relying on the fact that they are not related by blood, I can suppress it and make a decree.
But what does it mean to have two legal wives? This is really a corruption of ordinary etiquette.
I don't care how many concubines Han Yun wants to marry, but he can only have one wife.
The so-called legal wife is a married couple, one man and one woman. This has been the case since ancient times.
If this precedent is set, not only will he, Han Yun, be scolded, but even I will be scolded as a foolish king.
Besides, if he can marry two wives, can others? Grant him a marriage today, and tomorrow someone will ask for a marriage to someone else.
If everyone married two wives, wouldn't the world be in chaos? "
Wang Fugui held his hands and said,
"Father, he is Han Yun."
Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said,
"Are you threatening me? Do you mean that if I don't agree, Han Yun will come and chop off my head?"
"I never meant this!"
Wang Fugui immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"My son also believes that the Marquis of Zhenbei is loyal and will never do such a thing.
What I mean is that Han Yun has made great contributions and deserves special treatment. Since he came to Yumen Pass, he has resisted the demon tribe in the north, fought against the Western Regions in the west, killed the demon king, and destroyed the Bodhisattva, and has made unparalleled contributions.
Such achievements were enough for the court to be lenient to him.
In his decree, the emperor could first canonize Qi Xiaoyu, and then make an exception to grant Fairy Xuanyi the right to marry her as his wife because of her meritorious service in the battle in the Western Region.
In this way, others will have something to say even if they are not convinced.
If anyone wants to marry another official wife, that's fine. Let the woman go to the Western Regions to find a Bodhisattva and have a fight. If she comes back alive, she will marry her. "
Hearing this, the emperor nodded. What the sixth prince said was a solution.
Of course, it wasn't Lao Liu's words that made him compromise.
Mainly, Han Yun is so special!
He is extremely powerful in combat and has a high prestige among the people. He still carries half of the dragon energy and national luck. If he is forced away, it will be an immeasurable loss to Dachuan.
On the contrary, with his presence, the border of the Western Region can be guaranteed to be peaceful and worry-free.
For such people, you really need to be coaxed.
After thinking for a moment, the emperor decided to follow Han Yun.
He didn't want substantial things like fiefdom or military power, he just simply decreed a marriage.
This is a pragmatic emperor who doesn't care about etiquette, he only cares about whether you are useful.
However, the emperor did not directly answer
Instead, he chose to use this incident to beat Lao Liu who was in the limelight.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly and he said leisurely,
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is considered a high-ranking member of the imperial court. He has something to do. Why doesn't he come over personally and let you do the talking?"
Wang Fugui calmly held his hands and said,
"Reporting to my father, because I am a prince, in the eyes of Zhenbei Marquis, my words carry more weight than him.
Moreover, this matter is more urgent. The reward edict from my father has been drawn up and will be sent to Yumen Pass in the near future.
And it would take six or seven days to send the zhezi from Yumenguan here, even if it was expedited for 800 miles. Zhenbei Hou was worried that he would not be able to catch up, so he simply asked his minister for help. After all, he was in the capital.
In this way, the marriage edict can be sent together with the reward edict. "
"How did you contact Han Yun?"
"Reporting to my father, Han Yun is unparalleled in Taoism, so he naturally has his own unique method of transmitting sounds."
"Oh? It seems that you have frequent contact with Han Yun on weekdays."
"Yes."
Wang Fugui replied calmly.
However, the emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Wang Fugui and said,
"As the prince of the imperial court, you have close contacts with the general at the border."
Since ancient times, it has been a serious crime for courtiers to associate with generals. At worst, it means forming a party for personal gain. At worst, it means plotting evil and intending to rebel.
After all, as a civil servant, why should you make friends with military generals who are beyond your reach?
Especially since you are still a prince, it is even more sinful.
Wang Fugui still didn't panic, and said directly without any surprise,
"My son not only has a close personal relationship with Han Yun, but also has an excellent relationship with Annan Hou Qingyu."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare. What Erchen means is that whether it is Qingyu or Han Yun, they are friends of Erchen first, and then the Marquis of Dachuan.
Both of them were first acquainted by the son, and then got along well with each other. After becoming friends, they made great contributions and became military heroes.
As for Er Chen, he is not only a prince, but also a young man in his early twenties. He also likes to make friends with his own age and has the right to make friends.
Erchen has an irreversible friendship with the two of them. Could it be said that since they became marquises, they are no longer friends with Erchen? Are you about to cut off your ties with your sons and ministers?
No matter whether it is a son, minister, or they, if they do this kind of thing, they will be scolded as treachery.
It is often said among the people that even if you are rich and noble, you should never forget each other and go out of your way to save your friends. Is it possible that as a prince, in terms of ethics and morals, he is worse than a commoner?
However, the good relationship between the son and the minister was only a personal relationship, and they never involved any personal feelings in the court.
Father, can you recall when your son and minister ever said a kind word to the two of them? Have you asked for any reward for them?
Even this reward was drawn up by the father and the cabinet, but the son did not say a word.
This time I came to see my father, it was only for my friend's private matters. It had nothing to do with public affairs. I was just here to fulfill my duty as a friend. "
