Chapter 101: Choosing a Son-in-law in Public

Emperor Yelu of Liao gave a banquet at Yanxi. At the head fish banquet, his third daughter, Princess Yelu Yuliyan of Liao Shu Kingdom, performed a dance for his father. Another seven other palace dancers danced a Shu dance called "Eight String Drum". The dance was beautiful and light and graceful, and it immediately won the whole hall.

Even the Song envoy Li Sanjian and others watched with relish.

Although Yelu Yuliyan and others danced "Shu Dance", they "have the characteristics of Khitan dance, with rough style, distinctive rhythm, and strong temperament, which is different from the Song Dynasty, especially Jiangnan dance.

"Hehe... . . " After Yelu Yuliyan and others finished dancing, Yelu Yanxi asked proudly: "How about these three princesses?"

"The third princess is like the fairy of Jiuxiao!"

"The princess of Shu Kingdom is so kind and elegant, and she is gentle and elegant!"

"The third princess has a talent for childbirth, and she knows her long-lasting talent!"

"The princess of Shu Kingdom is decorated with pearls, and she thinks about her glorious appearance!"

"..........................................

Yelu Yanxi asked this question, of course, everyone was flattering, especially the Khitan ministers were trying their best to find praise, praise, and praise loudly, for fear that Yelu Yanxi and others would not hear it.

"Dear foreign envoys, all the ministers and officials... "Yelu Yanxi then laughed: "My daughter has been a naughty since she was young. I have been worried about her a lot. Now she has grown up and is at the age of marriage. I can also put down my burdens. Today is a good day, so I plan to choose a son-in-law for her today."

After saying that, Yelu Yanxi looked at the stunned people with a smile.

"Father Khan... "Not only everyone was shocked, but even Yelu Yuliyan was also surprised to look at Yelu Yanxi.

"Yu Liyan, come here." Yelu Yanxi said to Yelu Yu Liyan when he saw this.

Yelu Yuliyan walked to Yelu Yanxi with grievance when he heard this.

After Yelu Yanxi gently touched Yelu Yuliyan's hair, she smiled and said, "The daughters are all the flesh of their parents. Although Father Khan is the king of a country, the same is true. Father Khan hopes that you have a good home, which is no different from the parents of ordinary people's families."

Yelu Yanxi then pulled a circle in front of him with his hands and said, "You can choose everyone here. No matter who he is, Father Khan will make the decision for you."

After Yelu Yanxi said that, he glanced at Li Sanjian who had opened his mouth wide and saw Li Sanjian's heart beating.

he. . . he. . . he. . . What does he mean? Li Sanjian stammered in his heart, was he trying to choose himself?

How is this possible? There is no such possibility. Li Sanjian then thought, what did Yelu Yanxi look at him in such an "ambiguous" way?

Song banned interracial marriages, but Liao did not.

But even though Liao could not help, even if the Liao Emperor forced the Song court to agree to this marriage, even if the Liao Emperor forced the third princess Yelu Yuliyan to Li Sanjian, how could the great Khitan princess be a concubine?

Besides, Li Sanjian was ordered to serve as an envoy of the Song Dynasty to serve as an envoy of Liao, and then brought back a Khitan concubine, who was also a Khitan princess. What's wrong with this? At least he could not escape the crime of secretly understanding the Gentiles. . .

As a princess in a country, how can we play the marriage like this? Just choose a son-in-law in public? Is this too casual? Li Sanjian then shook his head in his heart and said.

Liao wedding customs have similarities and Song wedding customs, and there are also differences. Liao princess chooses son-in-law

The same is true for choosing a son-in-law with Princess Song.

Princess Song chose her son-in-law, selected from relatives, relatives, children of important officials, new Jinshi, military officials, etc.

No matter what kind of prince consort is chosen in the Song Dynasty, it cannot violate the "Book of Zhou", that is, whether it is a lottery, a name, a naji, a senate, or a kin, or a kin, or a kin, or a kinship. All details are not negligent.

After the two parties agreed on the marriage, they chose an auspicious day for marriage. The emperor sent an envoy to summon the prince-consort Jin to meet, and rewarded him with jade belts, boots, dust scepters, horse saddles, and 100 red silks, 100 pairs of silverware, 100 pieces of clothing, and 10,000 betrothal gifts. After the reward, the emperor would hold a banquet and entertain him, etc.

In short, it is extremely complicated and complicated.

And even if the emperor likes someone and wants to be elected as the prince consort, or even throws an order, the man must receive the lottery, ask for names, naji, enlistment, requests, etc. The man must take the initiative in the open, and this is related to the royal face and cannot be careless.

However, Liao did not prohibit interracial marriages, but intermarriages of nobles were usually intermarried between the two surnames Yelu and Xiao, but there were also intermarriages with other surnames, but intermarriages between the same surnames were prohibited.

At the same time, Liao's marriage customs are relatively open and free compared to Song. It is more common for men to choose women or to dispose of men. As long as both men and women have a crush on each other, they can get married. Of course, they need to seek the consent of both parents. If both parents disagree, many people get married after breaking through the secular world.

For example, the eldest sister of Xiao Chuo of Liao Dynasty, Concubine Qi, who died of widowhood, then took a fancy to a "foreign slave" and had an affair with her. When Empress Xiao heard about it, she was furious and captured the "foreign slave" and left her with a stick with a sandbag. However, this did not cut off the love between Concubine Qi and Concubine Qi begged Empress Xiao to be willing to take the fore slave as her husband. Empress Xiao allowed her to ask her, and Concubine Qi finally became a husband and wife with the fore slave.

A woman with a noble relative married woman actually married a slave. This was a shocking event in the Song Dynasty. It was simply a fantasy and impossible.

Princess Liao can even marry two or three, and she can get married three or four, and she can get married four or five.





Wait, wait, in short, as long as Princess Liao is not satisfied, she can divorce and then marry again until she is satisfied. This is also a shocking and jaw-dropping thing in Song.





Therefore, it was not surprising that Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao was selected in public and could be selected by Yelu Yuliyan himself. However, it made the Song envoys such as Chen Guoting, Li Sanjian and others stunned and dumbfounded.





It's extremely shocking.

The Liao girl is 14 or 15 years old, or even 12 or 3 years old, and she is about to get married when she is married.

The Liao ministers and their nephews who came to attend the headfish banquet saw that the princess of Shu, Yelu Yuliyan, had secretly turned their eyes to everyone, so they all cheered up, hoping to get the favor of the princess, whether old or young, whether they were married or not.





This is a rare opportunity to reach the sky in a thousand years, and no one wants to miss it. Princess Yelu Yuliyan of Shu is still so young and beautiful.





Liao was also different from Song in this regard. In Song Dynasty, once he became a son-in-law, he would have a high position, wealth and glory, of course, at his fingertips, but he basically had no chance of being in power with the two officials such as the priest and the zhizhi. They even had a very respected empty position, but they had no real power.

In ancient times, the success or failure of foreign relatives was not far away. If they were favored too much, they would inevitably suffer disasters; if they suppressed the loss of the people, they would be safe. The safety of disasters was not only the family, but also the rise and fall of the country.

It is precisely because of this that the prince-in-law and other relatives basically have no real power, and the high-ranking officials have a generous salary.

, wealth and glory will never be enjoyed in life, but it will not be able to become a great person in the future.

Therefore, the sons and nephews of the family of high-ranking officials in Song Dynasty, especially those who are responsible for the rise and fall of the family, were not keen on becoming the royal son-in-law, and were afraid to avoid it.





Liao almost has no restrictions on this aspect. Those in power either Yelu or Xiao are the ones in power. Therefore, being able to become the prince consort of the Liao royal family will be a matter of reaching the sky one by one and reaching the top.

As for the issue of old age or having already started a family, it is not a problem. What if the beautiful princess of Shu Kingdom Yelu Yuliyan has such a hobby and likes the elderly? As for whether to get married, it is not a problem. Those who have already started a family already have a legitimate wife or a real wife, at most, they can divorce their wives. How big is it?

It’s a pity that the beautiful princess of Shu Kingdom, Yelu Yuliyan, only kept his eyes on the three of them. One was the envoy of the Song Dynasty, the doctor of the Song Dynasty, the scholar of the Longtu Pavilion, and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was the order of Yelu Dashi, the order of the Liao Hanlin Academy, and the other was the female direct man Wanyan Zhan.

Everyone noticed Yelu Yuliyan's gaze, including Yelu Yanxi and others.

So while the Khitans were disappointed, they felt extremely surprised and unwilling, and they were also angry.

Yelu Dashi is fine. Although his family is in decline, he was a senior official from the third rank of the Liao court at this time. The most important thing is that Yelu Dashi did not get married at this time.

The two are a pair of talented men and women, and are made of heaven and earth.

But the Song envoy Li Sanjian was considered a god-like person? A cowardly official of Song, with a gentle and elegant face.





He was just a little white-faced person. Although Li Sanjian was also strong, he hunted a strong wild boar with his own strength yesterday.





But Li Sanjian is like a desert, where the people on the grassland are majestic and majestic? Where is a grassland eagle?

How could such a scholar be able to see the Dharma eye of Yelu Yuliyan, the princess of Shu Kingdom as beautiful as a fairy? How could this make the Khitan warriors feel?

In fact, Li Sanjian is fine. Maybe the princess of Shu Kingdom likes a novice face. But in the eyes of the Khitans, Wanyan Zhan is a slave. If a slave becomes a son-in-law, wouldn’t it make people laugh?

All the Khitans present were extremely angry, but none of them spoke, just looking at the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi who really decided on the matter.

Seeing this, Yelu Yanxi nodded and then shook her head.

Yelu Yuliyan, the princess of Shu Kingdom, was happy whether he chose Li Sanjian or Yelu Dashi.

As for Li Sanjian being a minister of the Song Dynasty and having already started a family, it is not a problem in Yelu Yanxi's mind. At worst, he would go to the letter of state to propose to the Song Dynasty court and Emperor Zhao Ji. Could it be that the Song Dynasty court and Emperor Zhao Ji still have no reason to allow it?

As for whether Li Sanjian got married or not, this was not a problem in Yelu Yanxi's mind. At worst, he would be ordered to divorce his wife.

The Great Liao elite cavalry went south, can't he force Li Sanjian to divorce his wife?

But Yelu Yanxi was like the Khitan officials, and was extremely puzzled and angry about the fact that Princess Yelu Yuliyan had a crush on the girl Wanyan Zhan in her eyes.

The Liao people's marriage customs are relatively open and free, but under normal circumstances, the royal family and common people are not allowed to marry each other, let alone be a mere slave.
