Chapter 246 Chapter 245(2/2)
Xu Bangrui.
Wei Guangde kept this name in his heart and knew about the affairs of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and 80% of them had something to do with Xu Bangrui.
Judging from the content at the beginning of the letter, he seems to be the promoter of this matter and should not be hindered.
I really think there is only one, that is, someone in the Xu family threatened Xu Bangrui, and that person seemed to be opposing his marriage with Xu Jianglan.
Wei Guangde blinked and couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh that intrigues among these big families might be very common. Unlike their small families, there is nothing to argue with.
"Xu Huai, I've seen it, I don't know if your master is."
Although Wei Guangde concluded that Xu Huai should be Xu Bangrui's man, that is, his future brother-in-law, he still pretended to be confused and asked the previous question.
"The villain has followed the eldest son since he was a child. Speaking of which, he is not an outsider with Lord Wei, my son is Xu Bangrui."
Then Xu Huai quickly told the story of the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Sure enough, the two brothers were fighting openly and secretly to inherit their titles.
However, what Wei Guangde thought was that he soon realized that it was not just these two brothers who ended up, but even the contemporary Duke of Wei Xu Pengju rolled up his sleeves and ended up.
It was obvious that this was helping the youngest son suppress Xu Bangrui, the eldest son.
Thinking of this, Wei Guangde suddenly remembered the imperial edict issued by the court a month ago and asked anxiously: "Xu Bangning's mother is Zheng?"
"That's right, the Zheng family is just the prince's favorite concubine, and they are not considered a side room at all. They are completely deceiving the imperial edict."
Xu Huai nodded and replied when he heard Wei Guangde's question.
"call"
Wei Guangde now figured it out, that's it.
They have taken the lead in the official position. Although there is a problem with the imperial edict, it has been issued after all, and it is still valid before the court takes it back.
For later generations, if the wife dies, it is not the only thing that Duke of Wei will make him a wife alone. Whoever he likes can make him a wife?
In fact, this view is wrong, at least not in this era.
In fact, a difference can be seen from the words "marry" and "take a concubine".
The wife was married back by the media of the three media and six recruits, and she is the master.
The concubine uses a "supply" when entering the door, which means she bought it with money.
There are also clear records in ancient books that "the concubine is a cheap man" and "the concubine is a businessman", and the concubine's wife is actually a high-ranking slave, and it is an item.
Because of the humbleness of the concubine, in ancient times, even if a wife was abandoned or died, the lord would marry a wife again, instead of holding the concubine in the family upright. Before the Song Dynasty, the concubine was exiled, fined and punished.
He also has to go to jail.
Such a system was also gradually formed. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the emperor's power declined and the etiquette and law collapsed.
"Zuo Zhuan" records this story: "Song Dynasty gave birth to a woman with red hair and hair. She was abandoned under the dike. The Song Ping Gong and his mother, who saw it, took it away, and called it Qi. She was long and beautiful, and accepted it and gave birth to a son.
It was called Zuo. Later, the Song minister Yi Li slandered the prince Zhuo and killed him. First, the doctor Hua Yuan fled to Jin, Hua Ruo fled to Lu, Hua Chen, and Hua Hebi fled to Wei."
It was precisely because of the Spring and Autumn Period that there were so many things that violated etiquette and law that the princes and alliance attempted to restore the social order of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and specially regarded "no concubine as wife" as one of the agreements of the alliance.
In the Ming Dynasty, although the official did not explicitly prohibit the concubines from being formalized, it was rare for them to be formalized, whether among the people or among the nobles, especially those with status.
At this time, Wei Guangde was quickly analyzing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. Duke Wei was a little bit unlucky. No matter what path he took to accomplish, as long as the lid was lifted, he would face the criticism of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Although the "Ming Dynasty Law" does not prohibit the concubine from being upright, such behavior is contrary to the current mainstream values, so it will definitely be criticized and even be recovered from the imperial edict.
However, this trouble for the father-in-law in the future is nothing. The most important thing is that my brother-in-law's current situation is a bit embarrassing.
What is the current Zheng family after they have the imperial edict?
Is Xu Bangning the second son or legitimate son?
Wei Guangde unconsciously glanced at Xu Huai in front of him, and he understood what Xu Bangrui meant.
