The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In the Tang army, Cheng Yaojin followed Li Shimin, and later in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Cheng Yaojin also played an important role. Then again, during Cheng Yaojin's lifetime, he married two people, one was the original wife Sun Shi, the third daughter of the county ling Sun Lu'er, and the lady of FengsuGuo. He was only thirty-one years old when he died. Cheng Yaojin also had a house filler Cui clan, born in the "Qinghe Cui clan", the eldest daughter of the Sui Dynasty Qi Prefecture Bei Driving Cui Xin.
After the death of Cheng Yaojin, the original funeral should be the original wife, but after the death of Cheng Yaojin, it was Cui Shi, the wife of the house, who was buried. Why is that? First of all, Cheng Biting Jin did this, which is not in line with the ancient etiquette, from another point of view, it proves that Cheng Biting Jin's favorite person is The Lady of the House Filling, Cui Shi.
The ancient conjugal system was monogamous and polygamous concubines, and men could only have one wife, but they could have many concubines. It is worth mentioning that a man who wants to marry a concubine is not as much as he wants. In ancient times, the right wife was needed, and the three books and six ceremonies were hired. The three books refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of etiquette and the letter of welcome.
The six ceremonies refer to Nacai (mentioning relatives), asking names (exchanging birthday eight characters), Naji (combining eight characters), Na Zheng (lower dowry), asking for a period (picking the auspicious day of the zodiac), and kissing (holding a wedding). Marriage in ancient times was more cumbersome. After the completion of the six rites, the wife will be born with her husband and die in the same cave. This is easy to understand, that is, when he is alive, he covers the same quilt as his husband, and after his wife dies, he is buried in a tomb with his husband.
For example, Chi Jingde, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, was buried with his wife. Su Fei was the original match of Wei Chi Jingde, she married Wei Chi Jingde at the age of 15, and died of illness at the age of 25. When Su Fei died, Wei Chi Jingde had not yet made a mark, and then Wei Chi Jingde remarried and married Lady Xuxian. Later, Wei Chi Jingde died of a rich man at the age of 74, and on his deathbed, he was designated to be buried with his wife Su Fei.
Su Fei died for more than forty years, but Wei Chi Jingde still wanted to be buried with Su Fei. This is the ancient ritual. Cheng Yaojin did not accompany zhaoling with his wife Sun Shi, but instead asked to accompany zhaoling with his wife Cui shi. According to the "Great Tang Dynasty Horse Riding General Yizhou Dadu Governor Shangzhu Guo Gong Cheng Envoy Inscription and Preface" recorded: "Although the Empress Dowager Qinghe Cui clan was blessed with old age, yi obeyed the same cave. On the twenty-first day of December of the third year of Xianqing, he finally wrote in Wydri, when he was sixty-seven. Yue Yi Lin De 2 years old 2 years old 2 ugly October he hai Shuo 22 days Gengshen, buried together in Lingnan thirteen miles. ”
Nowadays, it seems that Cheng Yaojin was not buried with his wife, but with Mrs. Cui, which is undoubtedly a bit of a negative taste. More importantly, Cheng Biting Jin did this, which was indeed not in line with the etiquette. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, in accordance with Cheng Yaojin's last wishes, issued an edict to let Cui shi accompany Cheng Yaojin to accompany zhaoling.
In this way, Cheng Yaojin and Cui Shi often accompanied the former emperor Li Shimin. Cheng Biting Jin designated his wife Cui Clan to be buried after his death, from this point it can be seen that the person Cheng Biting Jin loves most must be Cui Shi, otherwise Cheng Biting Jin will not violate the etiquette, you know, the ancients attach great importance to the etiquette, and will never violate the etiquette law for no reason.
