If you look through the history books, you will find that Xia, Shang, Zhou (spring and autumn, Warring States), Qin and Han never excluded the acceptance of foreign women. Intermarriage with foreign women is a very common phenomenon in the long history.
The men in Zhuxia do not reject foreign women, but they extremely reject marrying their own women. Not only do men reject, but also women.
Men's refusal is naturally in dignity and pride of their own nation. They believe that it will be a shame to marry their own women to a different race.
Women's exclusion may have something to do with dignity and pride, but more is that they can't accept some customs of other nationalities. On the one hand, on the other hand, the alien has a husband who dies, the husband's brother accepts his wife and concubine, or the husband's children accept female elders as concubines, and many other things that are simply unacceptable to the Han people.
Most of the Husu on the grassland and some barbarians in the South have the custom of father dying and son inheriting (or brother). The Han people think it is against the code of ethics, but they think they are doing good things.
It's a very simple thing. The Husu and barbarians feel that they are doing a good job because women lose their dependence after their husband dies and are difficult to survive. If they accept the dead husband, they will bear the responsibility of feeding.
The strange thing is that their elders should not be supported? And assume the responsibility of warming the bed? This will involve the aspect of population growth.
Different social structures and customs have created the ideas of different nationalities. They all look at the actions of different nationalities with their own national ideas, and can not simply distinguish between right and wrong.
As the emperor of the Han people, Liu Yan's ideas should naturally be based on what the Han people can accept, so as not to care about what kind of things Hu Lu or barbarians did because of.
Of course, Liu Yan should continue to carry forward the rules handed down in ancient times, exclude women of his family from marrying outside, and advocate the acceptance of a group of women. This kind of thing is also the responsibility of the son of heaven. Everything is just because the son of heaven is the patriarch, and what the people think is right should be right.
From another perspective, Liu Yan, as the emperor, not only advocated from the behavior, but also needed to use the system to make the beautiful concept a framework supported and restricted by the law.
Liu Yan has no reason not to accept foreign women. From ancient times to now, Sima's family has not broken the inheritance handed down in ancient times. Otherwise, even if the former "emperor" accepted foreign women, even if he won't go to sleep, there are still basic political shows.
Sima's failure to accept an alien woman is not that he doesn't want to. It's that no alien with identity is willing to give a woman to Sima.
"This Da Qin woman named Helena has a strange wind review." Cui Wan is holding the collected information: "the people of Daqin appreciate her, but the language is vague. People in other countries think the Daqin is an unclean woman."
Women, as long as there is a "unclean" rating, it means that people feel that her private life must be very corrupt.
The world will always have different views because of gender. The erosion of men's private life can be interpreted as romantic, and there is nothing bad about this romantic guy; But if it's a woman, there won't be any positive comments anyway.
The reason why there will be a difference is very simple. Men hold the vast majority of social resources, and the power is controlled by men. The matter of three wives and four concubines has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a rule.
One day, if resources and power are in the hands of women, maybe things should be the opposite?
The maternal society in ancient times did not mention that since the birth of the country, men have three wives and four concubines. Have you ever seen women with three husbands and four heads?
Actually, there is! Like the Western Han Dynasty, many emperor Ji who lacks face? But that's how Diji can do it. Who else dares to do it.
The absolute minority cannot become the social rule accepted by the general public. On the whole, it is right for men to have more than one woman for the world, and it is wrong for women to have more than one man. This is the rule. Not only men take it for granted, but also women, except a few, don't think there is anything wrong.
Now is not the Song Dynasty (including later), the social restrictions on women are not so exaggerated, and women are not much different from men in many rights and interests (excluding Polygamy).
The most direct embodiment is that the property of a family is shared by the husband and wife. Not only the husband can divorce his wife, but also the wife can make peace and leave. Unless the government judges that a man (woman) needs to bear mistakes in accordance with the law, there is no clean exit in case of divorce.
For the Han people, marrying a woman who is not a virgin is not an unacceptable thing, but the reputation can't be too bad!
"Foreign countries spread unclean reputation..." Cui Wan looked at Liu Yan with a cautious expression and hesitated, "Your Majesty... Are they slandering?"
It's not impossible
After a blind date, ordinary people look at each other and privately go down to ask what kind of person the man (woman) is. Some neighbors may be just a little upset. It is still nonsense if there is no such thing.
There is no reason for the mutual destruction between countries. For example, among the intelligence collected, Helena has not only bad wind comments, but also any one.
Cui Wan saw negative information in every memorial. If judged according to those information, any bad news should be eliminated, so Liu Yan can't choose anyone this time.
"Your Majesty." Cui Wan didn't know why she blushed. She was generous in her manners. The difference between her mentality and behavior can explain the problem. She said: "if not... Can you check... Check...", the words behind really can't say, which means whether there is that film in the physical examination.
The Han family never checked the film, even in the Song Dynasty, which was considered the most conservative. It was only in the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and "I Qing" was carried forward.
Liu Yan understood what Cui Wan wanted to express without saying. He was embarrassed.
Liu Yan has intervened too much in such a matter. This is also because there is no empress dowager. Otherwise, the draft should be checked by the Empress Dowager.
Without the empress dowager, the empress can preside over and guard the harem. If Cui Wan has enough ambition and can even show the majesty of the queen in this matter, the key is that she doesn't express any ambition.
"There was no such thing in ancient times..." Liu Yan didn't want to make such a head on such a thing for future generations: "if there is a big bang, the queen..."
It must not be done with a high profile. Otherwise, Liu Yan should get the title of "non Ming Jun". If it is extended, it will even involve rumors of self-confidence, which will have an unlimited impact on the whole country.
Before the Han people married, it was not like that. As a "ruler" integrating the emperor and the emperor, the imitation would start from all officials and then spread to all levels of the country.
In fact, it's not that men don't care about that film. It's that society decides not to advocate caring about that film.
In the era of frequent wars, most men will be called up to the battlefield. If there were little women in ancient times and pre-Qin dynasties, they would hurry to have sex with men who would like to go to the battlefield, mainly to pass on incense to the men they like.
Moreover, since it is possible to die in battle, the probability of widows is infinite. The government will not ask widows to observe festivals.
There is no love or dislike. More widows will cause too many problems in society, and will also become an obstacle to population growth.
Hu Lu and the barbarians accepted the women (non biological mothers) of their father (Brothers) in order to increase the population in some ways.
If you look at the laws of all dynasties, you will find that there is one in most dynasties, that is, at what age men and women must marry, especially for women.
For example, it is a crime for a woman not to marry when she is how old. It is not enough to say that she will be arrested, but she will be forced to choose her husband or take fines.
How old are women? What measures will they take if they don't get married? Who wrote them? It comes from LV pheasant, who is also a woman, who issued relevant laws and regulations.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, all dynasties have continued that law. The reason why there was a law in the Western Han Dynasty was that the population decreased so much after the chaos in the world that women had to be forced to marry at the right age to get pregnant to increase the population.
Today's Han Empire also inherited that law and continued another previous practice. It will not force widows to remarry, but it does not advocate chastity.
Under normal circumstances, the local government will implicitly encourage widows to remarry, not too obvious, but everyone knows that there is such a thing.
When soldiers died on the battlefield, the government encouraged the undead to remarry? In any way, it is extremely impersonal.
Are the undead no longer married and able to support their children and elders? In terms of productivity and women's status, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
If the undead marries again, according to the social custom, her new husband has the responsibility to bear those responsibilities, which is equivalent to that the man has more than a family to support.
It involves too many aspects. More than a human touch can explain everything. In many years after the war, a man married multiple daughters-in-law is not only not pleasure, but actually suffering. Not only will this man not be despised, but he will also get enough respect and think that he is doing a righteous act.
The Han Empire established by Liu Yan did not encounter such a situation. On the contrary, the wanton persecution of women by Shijie resulted in the sharp decline of women than men in this war.
The difference between this war and other wars is that the Capricorn people have a tradition of catching women with the army. They use it to vent their animal desires at night and cook it when they want to eat.
Other captives are not as cruel as the Jie nationality, but the influence of the Jie nationality is not much better for women. The women who suffered the most in this war.
"Your Majesty, Minister..." Cui Wan said that there was nothing wrong with being a minister. The queen also had a salary, so she was one of the ministers: "why don't we all meet first and ask?"
Liu Yan's mood was not good in an instant. He just hinted that Cui Wan could quietly check the film. Unexpectedly, Cui Wan didn't notice the hint at all. He can't hint or mention it clearly yet.
About who to choose, Liu Yan's intervention is here.
What kind of woman does Liu Yan want? Taking things seriously only involves the future coexistence between countries.
Liu Yan left the harem and went to Weiyang palace. He asked LV Yi if he was on duty.
LV Yi, who was summoned, soon saw Liu Yan. After saluting, he reported some things and paused to wait for Liu Yan's prompt, such as what he specially summoned to do.
Of course, Liu Yan can't say it clearly. He pulled a lot of national style, wind evaluation, reputation and so on.
LV Yi was stunned before he reacted. He didn't think Liu Yan's move was funny. On the contrary, he responded very carefully.
"Wang Meng, as the envoy, has been asked." LV Yi repeated some answers from Wang Meng without any personal subjective consciousness, and finally talked about Helena: "I'm going to tell your majesty that the wind evaluation of the princess of the Qin Dynasty is really bad."
LV Yi said a lot later. After enough bedding, he came to the main topic: "I think this matter may be used?"
No one dares to fool around about the emperor's princess, nor does LV Yi. Helena must be removed from the list, but he thinks Helena is very valuable from the national level.
Liu Yan understood, but he had to show that he didn't understand: "the meaning of words is..."
"Can make her stay in the Han Dynasty and ask the state of Qin when the time permits." LV Yi said it with some caution. Seeing the expression on Liu Yan's face, he explained: "this is an excellent excuse for war, and it can also show that a big man can't be bullied."
Using women for articles? The world has never lacked this routine, and it is still very useful every time. Liu Yan will have a dignified face and can't stand it.
"I have heard of a war in Europa thousands of years ago." Liu Yan simply said the background of the Trojan War: "the woman named Helen is famous and is destined to remain famous forever."
LV Yi was more and more frightened. He knew more or less about Liu Yan and had guessed what would happen next.
"I am not Liu Heng, Liu Qi or Liu Che!" When talking about the Xiongnu, the three people mentioned by Liu Yan would mention the insult of Bolden to LV pheasant to urge themselves to remember the shame and take revenge one day in the future. He was almost blue with iron face: "if the big man wants to levy the Qin Dynasty, it is enough that the Qin Dynasty is disrespectful to the big man. Why?"
LV Yi had to plead guilty. He thought Liu Yanhui's response was that his dignity was insulted.
"I mentioned it to you again and again!" Liu Yan said almost domineering: "the Han people should be the master of blue star, and we are bound to become the only master of blue star. We should be more generous!"
