Chapter 316 Jiangnan Association
The ancient book "The Book of Rites. Hun Li" uploads!" "Hun Li is to combine the favors of the two surnames. The superior serves the ancestral temple and the inferior follows the descendants, so gentlemen value it. Therefore, the hun Li is to accept the title, ask for the name, Naji, Nazheng, and ask for the ceremony. The hosts are all feasted at the temple, and greeted the door, enter, bow and give in and rise, and obey the orders of the temple, so they are respectful and cautious. "The other "Yi Li" says: "Hun Li has six rituals, Naji, and ask for the name, Naji, and ask for the ceremony, and welcome them in person." This is the traditional custom of the "Six Marriage Rites" that was created in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was followed by previous dynasties.
Wedding is a top priority, and it requires the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even if Emperor Yang Guangxi now issued an order to give the wedding, the six-ritual procedure for the wedding must not be missed.
As soon as Chen Shen arrived in Dongdu, he immediately invited the media to go to Li Yuan's house to propose marriage. The two families had already been engaged, but now it is just a supplementary gift. After the Li family agreed to the media's proposal, the Chen family officially took the proposal to the Duke of Tang's mansion to propose marriage. This preparation ceremony was carried out at the same time as Najib behind him, that is, to give up the bride and give up the bride. Both men and women were prime ministers of the current dynasty and were both dukes' families, so the bride was naturally very generous.
The Chen family accompanied the wedding ceremony and wrote "Dragon and Phoenix Book" on the red and green gold-painted book "The simple and swaying pot style, long-term honor, a thousand golds promise, and light grows into a wall... Li Yuan's reply wrote: "One branch is lucky, three lives are in harmony, seven Xiang is ashamed, and nine are like celebrating."
Then there is a date, which has been set. On the eighth day of the first lunar month next year, once this ceremony is finished, the whole wedding will be only one kinship to welcome you. The completion of the kinship wedding means a tribute to become a wife. The kinship wedding is regarded as the basic basis for whether the relationship between husband and wife is completely established. If the husband dies without the kinship wedding, the woman can remarry. However, once the kinship wedding ceremony is held and the husband dies, according to the customs, the new fu can only accept his fate and "end to one end".
However, after the wedding was completed, the wedding was not completed, and the ceremony was held on the second day: if the parents-in-law died, they would go to the family temple to worship the in-laws after March, which was called "See the temple".
As long as Li Xiuning, who joined the Chen family, became the wife who was married to Chen Kefu from now on.
Chen Kefu was busy with such a big event for half a month, from the ceremony to the final list of guests, and even the crown and clothes to wear in various etiquettes. This made Chen Kefu, who had already married three concubines, feel that his previous wedding in Liaodong was really like a child playing house. No wonder the status between a wife and a concubine in ancient times was so different. Just by looking at the etiquette of marriage, you can see the huge difference between them.
On November 1, the Ministry of Revenue was interviewed by the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue. The two servants of the Shangshu and the officials were also present. The two servants of the Shangshu and six servants of the Shangshu were collectively called the Eight Seals. Chen Kefu, now the Shangshu, is naturally not able to assess his assessment. It is just a formality.
In December, the foreign ministers in the court had only the New Year's Day left to attend the Yuan meeting. Chen Kefu is now waiting for the Yuan meeting to welcome Li Xiuning to get married after the Yuan meeting and then can return to Liaodong to serve as the marshal of the marching in Mobei Road.
As Xindong approaches, the city of Kyoto is full of joy and borders are stable. The rebellion of bandits from all directions has been brutal suppression by the imperial army drawn from Liaodong this year, and basically it has entered a low period. The canals and trough transportation is smooth, and the resources of various parts of the world are constantly transported into Beijing, and the continuous decline in prices makes the people of the entire Dongdu feel that this life is full of momentum, as if they have suddenly returned to the prosperous times ten years ago. Even the officials and noble families in Kyoto have received a large number of Dai fortunes from the court, and each of them has received a large red envelope.
There are countless visitors in the Duke of Liao's mansion every day, including officials from Beijing and even many noble families, and scholars in white-clothed Confucianism have also joined the door, hoping to climb up and join. Chen Kefu handed all the thick letters of consultation received by the doorman every day to Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji to deal with. He did not believe that among these people who came to the door, there would be talents he really hoped for.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Kefu specifically told him that no one would be seen. If the scholars and officials who came to join him were truly talented, they could contact them secretly and let them go to Liaodong. As for the others, they could be treated arrogantly, but the more arrogant they were, the better. Since he arrived in Dongdu, he was assassinated by the man in black, and then Yuwen Zhi and Pei Li and others were killed by the man in black, and there were even crossbow arrows marked by the Liaodong army.
Of course, he knew that he had not sent anyone to kill Yuwen Zhiji. Yuwen Shu and Pei Yun could not kill his son to blame him. As for other forces in Kyoto,
There are really few people who can make such a big deal in Kyoto. Chen Kefu already vaguely felt that this was probably caused by Yang Guang.
When Chen Kefu and his team are at their current position, Yang Guang would not be taken seriously by corruption or illegality.
Yang Guang's continuous actions in recent years have made Chen Kefu understand him very well. Yang Guang went over to support Yuwen Shu, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, and others, and used it to suppress the Guanlong Old Que family. When Yang Xuangan rebelled, he took the opportunity to clean the old valve. Later, when the new Que finally pressed the old valve, Yang Guang began to clean the larger scale without mercy. Even the strongest Li Lang fell down, and other old valves were also captured and seized the real power in their hands.
Support the new valve and suppress the old valve. When the old valve is finally no longer his threat, Yang Guang turned his attention to the new valve whose power reached his warning line. This is why Chen Kefu and Li Yuan have made a splendid rise and the holy favor. Yang Guang never lets the power reach the point of threatening him through this method. Knowing the essence of the matter, then he cannot guess why Yang Guang used assassination.
There was a long time since the study was burning, which was extremely warm. Chen Kefu was holding a jade pendant in his hand and looked at the jade pendant seriously. This was a jade pendant with a dragon. He held the jade pendant on his head. Through the bright light, he could clearly see the dragon in the jade pendant with clouds and mist. Such a jade pendant was a thing of the royal family in the South Chen Dynasty, and it was absolutely priceless when taken out.
Unfortunately, only half of this piece of pampered penis is left.
Chen Kefu has thirty-six pieces of this half jade pendant. If you look closely, you will find that the shape of the dragon among the thirty-six jade pendants is actually a complete set. The movements of the dragon in each jade pendant will be different, and they will be combined in the correct order, just like a set of comic strips.
This was dug out for him from the huā Garden of the Duke of the Great Wall County in Luoyang after his father Chen Shen arrived in Kyoto, and after he had a detailed discussion with him, he understood his firm intention to restore the country. Half of the thirty-six jade pendants were in Chen Shen's hands, and half of them were in the hands of the other thirty-six people.
This was the final arrangement made by the Eastern Palace before the fall of Southern Chen Kingdom. Thirty-six loyal ministers were sent out of the palace with these 36 half jade pendants and went to various places to recruit loyal and brave men. Originally, they were preparing to train a group of troops, and prepared enough materials from various places to prepare for a retreat if the war with the Sui Kingdom failed. But no one expected that when the Chen Houzhu faced hundreds of thousands of troops in the Sui Dynasty, he could still sing the back court across the river. In the end, the Sui army was quickly destroyed by the Sui army without expectation.
At the last moment, Chen Shen had only had time to ask Mao Xi and other old ministers to take his son Yuanxun and sent envoys to send messages to thirty-six routes, so that they could hide. Originally, he thought that after being captured, there would be no hope of survival. However, he did not expect that the Sui Dynasty razed the capital of Nanchen to the ground, moved the royal family of Nanchen, all officials and nobles, and the wealthy families in the capital to Chang'an, but did not execute them.
Many years later, Chen Shen, who was promoted to the prefect of Qihan, was approached by his former subordinates and found out that the thirty-six people of that year did not disappear. These loyal ministers could not accept the destruction of Nanchen. They turned from Ming to underground and formed the Jiangnan Association with the purpose of restoring the Chen Dynasty and re-establishing a Southern Han Dynasty.
The Jiangnan Association was composed of 36 old ministers who held middle jade pendants. For many years, they had contacted Jiangnan forces and had been pursuing the realization of their final goals. When the Emperor opened, the great rebellion of aristocratic families in Jiangnan was initiated by the Jiangnan Association behind the scenes. Unfortunately, it was finally pacified by Yang Jian's army. After that heavy failure, the Jiangnan Association's strength was greatly damaged, and since then, it has changed from armed rebellion to seek forbearance. Years have passed
Now, the Jiangnan Association is more secretive and fewer people know about it. They have developed thirty-six different peripheral organizations, from the canal trunk gangs on the Yangtze River, to the thiefs in the big lakes such as Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, and the green forests and horses in the deep mountains. Then to the chambers of commerce in various cities, the 18 peripheral organizations of the Jiangnan Association include the black and white channels. Even among the counties in Jiangnan, one of the officials in many yamen belongs to the peripheral organizations of the Jiangnan Association.
Not only these, but also many southern families are their peripheral forces. After more than 20 years of development, they have formed a huge net in Jiangnan. This net was finally controlled by the thirty-six families of the Jiangnan Association through these thirty-six peripheral organizations. This is a huge force, a real underground kingdom of Jiangnan. Almost thirty-years have passed, and most of the first thirty-six old ministers of the Jiangnan Association have passed away, and their positions have been taken over by their descendants. It can be said that today's Jiangnan Association is no longer the Jiangnan Association of the past.
