Chapter 436 Strange People
"What about the crown prince? Yang Yong was the crown prince at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Guang became the emperor in the end. Isn't the hidden crown prince also a crown prince, but the last successor is His Majesty. Is the crown prince safe?"
Hu Changcheng smiled, and continued: "There are so many lessons learned from the past. As long as we arouse the prince's sense of crisis, he will naturally feel uneasy. Only with his own power can he feel safe. As long as we Being able to get in touch with the prince, based on the relationship between the prince and the prince, the prince must need the help of the prince to develop power. With the name of the prince, are you afraid that no one will support it?"
Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, he nodded, and said, "So, this king is going to meet that niece and son-in-law."
……
"My lord, these gloves are really easy to use, and they are really warm to wear." Chunyue said with a smile.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. In order to reward you, this king will take you to Chang'an for a stroll."
"Really?" Chunyue and Yuhe were very excited.
Lin Xuan nodded, and said, "Of course it's true. You guys go change your clothes, and I'll give parents a pair of gloves. When we get back, we'll set off."
"Thank you, young master." Chunyue and Yuhe changed their clothes excitedly.
Lin Xuan gave two sets of gloves to his parents and told them how to use them.
The two were so curious that they took it off and on.
"By the way, you didn't ask someone to do it for Duoduo?" Zhang Qing asked.
"She doesn't go out, what's the use of this thing." Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Qing glanced at Lin Xuan, and said angrily: "Is it okay to use it at home? She is so skinny, she won't stay in the house all the time."
"All right, all right, I'll ask someone to make a pair for her when I turn around, that's all right." Lin Xuan said hastily.
"Xuan'er, Dodo told me yesterday that she wanted to name herself. You said a girl named Jiajia, what name should I choose?" Lin Dongyang complained.
Although Lin Dongyang's words were discriminating against women, Zhang Qing didn't say anything.
Girls are generally born with only one baby name. This is also the ancient name when asked a girl's name, she would say her boudoir name.
Of course, this is not absolute. The wealthy families will still name their girls, and even choose their characters.
Lin Xuan asked curiously: "What name does Dodo want to marry herself?"
It has only been half a year since Lin Duoduo studied and calculated, Lin Xuan didn't expect that she would name herself.
"She said she saw a passage from some book of poetry, saying that there is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. She said that she will be called Wanxi from now on." Lin Dongyang said.
"Lin Wanxi? It's not bad." Lin Xuan nodded.
"I want you to persuade her, you can mess around with her no matter what." Lin Dongyang said angrily.
Don't think that naming a woman is not a big deal.
Take Empress Changsun as an example. Many people in later generations believe that Empress Changsun's full name is Changsun Wugou.
But in fact, this is just speculation by later generations, and the full name of Empress Changsun is not recorded in the history books.
In ancient times, the vast majority of women did not have their own names, but they would clearly state their surnames, in order to adapt to the social statute of "no marriage with the same surname".
When many women want to get married, they will add "Ji", "E" and "Niang" after their surnames, or add an order between their surnames and their mothers.
Such as: Aunt Gongsun, Erniang Sun, Sanniang Hu, Siniang Huang, Wuniang Zhao, Shishiniang Xin, etc.
These are not really names.
For example, before Wu Zetian became emperor, her nickname was Mei Niang, but after she ascended the throne, she named herself Wu Zhao (zhao).
It means that the sun and the moon are in the sky, illuminating the earth.
As for why it is called Wu Zetian, it has something to do with Wu Zetian's dying words.
Wu Zetian had a will: "Go to the temple, return to the mausoleum, go to the emperor's title, and call him Queen Zetian."
In ancient times, women did not have names, which had something to do with their low status.
Another reason is that women's names were not very useful at the time.
Women cannot tell others their names before they are married. After they are married, they add their husband's family name before their surnames and call them surnames, which is equivalent to their names.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Some families still give girls names, and some even give them characters.
Some women also take words for themselves.
But Lin Dongyang was just a merchant before, even though Lin Xuan is now a knight, some ideas still haven't been reversed, and he feels that women don't need to be named.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Father, our family is also the Hou's Mansion anyway, what's wrong with Duoduo's name?"
Only then did Lin Dongyang realize that his family was already honorable, and it didn't matter to have a name, so he didn't object any more.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Lin Xuan resigned and left.
Back in their yard, Chunyue and Yuhe had already changed their clothes.
Lin Xuan asked people to prepare a carriage and took them to Chang'an.
The end of the new year is approaching, and Chang'an is becoming more and more lively, with long queues forming at the gate of the city.
Chunyue and Yuhe seldom went out, and they finally came to Chang'an. They were very excited, opened a gap in the curtains, and looked outside curiously.
In ancient times, the class division was very serious. If ordinary people wanted to enter the city, they could only enter through the side doors on both sides.
The city gate in the middle can only pass through the government and nobles.
When Lin Xuan and his party came to the gate of the city, a team of officials escorted a person and was presenting his certificate to the gate guard, so they blocked the gate.
Cao Hu was about to go forward to clear the road, but was stopped by Lin Xuan.
He's not in a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to wait.
Lin Xuan was a little curious about the person being escorted.
Escorted by officials, and wearing shackles, he knew at a glance that he had committed a serious crime.
For ordinary people, they are either very panicked or numb.
But no matter what the situation is, the prisoner should be honest.
But this person didn't, instead he looked around.
When he saw Lin Xuan, he took a few glances.
Lin Xuan also saw the other party's appearance clearly.
He looks very heroic in his 30s.
The eyes are very calm, there is no panic of being in prison, nor is there any confusion about the future.
Lin Xuan felt an aura of 'no fear' in him.
This momentum is very strange.
Either he has a way to escape, or he really has no fear of life and death.
Lin Xuan recruited Cao Hu and explained a few words.
At this moment, the city gate guard finished checking and let them in.
Lin Xuan and his party followed behind and entered Chang'an City.
The city gate guards all knew Lin Xuan, so they didn't stop them at all.
After entering the city, the group of officials escorted the prisoner to the direction of the Ministry of Punishment.
It should be to send people to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Lin Xuan and his party went to West Market.
Although the things in Dongshi are better, but in terms of variety, Xishi is the best.
Cao Hu quietly left the team.
Although those personal soldiers noticed it, they didn't ask any more questions.
When they came to West Market, Chunyue and Yuhe got off the carriage, leaving a few soldiers to guard the carriage and horses, and Lin Xuan took them for a stroll.
When they came, Lin Xuan asked his soldiers to change into casual clothes, and the matter spread, and Zhang Dayong followed behind Lin Xuan.
Even so, Lin Xuan and his party also attracted a lot of attention.
There is no way, most of the people who come to West City are civilians, usually exposed to the wind and sun, and lacking in grooming, there are not many beautiful ones.
Although Chunyue and Yuhe are just maids, apart from serving Lin Xuan, their treatment in other aspects is not inferior to that of other ladies.
In addition, it was specially dressed when it was added, which naturally attracted countless eyes.
Chunyue and Yuhe secretly took a look at Lin Xuan, and were relieved to see that Lin Xuan was not angry.
Lin Xuan naturally didn't care, the women around him were eye-catching, and men had a sense of pride.
