Chapter 647 Monogamy

The year name "Yuanheng" officially withdrew from history after being used for ten years, and the Dali started a new year name-Datong from Zhengdan.

In the first early dynasty of the first year of Datong, the Taiji Hall was in full swing—there were quarrels.

New year and new weather, the early morning was going on normally.The new revenue includes two vast Taos, and the official system of each Tao has been changed again. A lot of things, big and small, have to be carefully discussed.

Everyone finally figured out the names of the two new official positions on New Year's Eve. Since the first year of Datong, the post of Jiedushi has been abolished in each province, and four other official positions have been assigned to jointly manage the internal affairs of the Tao.

The titles of these four official positions are: Commander of the capital, Chief of Staff, Inspectorate and Transshipment Envoy.

All command envoys are in charge of a military, the chief envoys are in charge of civil affairs, the procuratorial envoys are in charge of punishment, and the transfer envoys are in charge of money, grain and economy.

In addition to these four positions, a governor is set up to comfort the army and the people, and perform the responsibility of supervision.

To everyone's surprise, the post of Prime Minister Zuo did not fall on Li Jingjie or Wei Yizhi as they had been guessing before.Zuo Qiuyue announced at the court that Meng Changhuai, the former Jiedu envoy of Henan Province, was appointed Prime Minister Zuo, and the imperial decree was already on the way to Henan Province.

They are all people who have followed the emperor and empress since the Qiandi, and in terms of political achievements alone, no one said much when Meng Changhuai took the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

These are trivial matters. What really almost overturned the entire court was the new marriage system proposed by Wei Yizhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment at the end of the early court—once monogamy was implemented, men could only marry wives and not concubines. .

This is simply the greatest joke in the world!Absurd!This was the first reaction of everyone in the court.

Even a few veteran officials who had gone through two dynasties, such as Gu Qingshan, Minister of Rites, and Li Jingjie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, were instantly stunned, and they were stunned for a long time before they could respond.

Wei Yizhi's ability to bring it up at the court shows that this matter is not his own idea, but that he has already communicated with the two people on the dragon chair.What's more, this is most likely what they instructed him to do.

The current emperor and empress are the most enlightened superiors since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, and at the same time the strongest, even more so than the founding monarch.They will listen to the suggestions of the ministers, but will not be influenced by anyone.

Therefore, the quarrel in the court blossomed, but it was all about violating the ancient etiquette, criticizing Wei Yizhi who proposed this system.No one dared to point the finger at the empress directly.

"I support Master Wei's proposal." In the chaos, Xiao Yan, who stood at the head of all the officials, came out and said loudly, "And I am willing to lead by example and set an example for the people of the world. Only marry one wife in this life, forever No concubines."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

"..."

Hush!All those who received awards at the New Year's Eve banquet stood up to support Xiao Yan.

……

"Brother Wei." After going down to court, Kang Simu found Wei Yizhi's figure, "Wait for me, I'll go back with you."

"We don't seem to be on our way." Wei Yizhi looked at him, "Why, are you afraid that something will happen to me?"

"I'm really scared." Kong Simu said, "Just now in the court, those people wished they could eat you alive."

"Lord Kang, Lord Wei." While the two were talking, Tong Yang and Qi Xian walked over again, "Let's go out of the palace together."

Although Zuo Qiuyue also started working for the Henan Palace when Zuo Qiuyue was still the King of Henan, Wei Yizhi, Tong Yang and Qi Xian had never dealt with each other before, so they were definitely not familiar.

"Master asked us to escort Master Wei home." Qi Xian saw Wei Yizhi's doubts and explained, "Your Excellency is very courageous, I admire you."

"The Marquis of Weiyun is so honored." Wei Yizhi said, "Thank you, Madam, for caring."

"Lord Wei, don't be careless." Tong Yang said, "The common people are ignorant. If they are provoked by someone with a heart, they will do things regardless of the consequences. The monogamy proposed by the Lord in the court today can be said to hinder the men in the world from sex. His privilege. A little provocation, the safety of adults may be threatened."

"What General Tong said is, you should be more careful." Kang Simu said, "Go home and choose a few young men with good skills, and take them with you when you go out."

"Ha!" Wei Yizhi smiled freely, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. If I propose this law today, once it is implemented, probably all men in the world will hate me. The law has been in place, and they will always hate me. I, I can't hide forever."

"Master Wei, wait for a few days, the person transferred by master is already on his way." Qi Xian leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Songguo's Tianwen Pavilion is full of masters in the world, and master has asked her to choose four of them." A person with good skill and prudence will be given to Mr. Wei as his bodyguard."

Tianwen Pavilion, at first glance, is the name of the Jianghu organization.Wei Yizhi has heard a thing or two about the deeds of the current empress.Knowing that before she became the concubine of Henan, she was wealthy and had many capable people.It is not surprising that it can mobilize the power of the rivers and lakes.

"Then I would like to thank you, Madam, and thank you Sheng Jinghou."

"Your Majesty Wei should be a role model for my generation despite the disapproval of the world." Tong Yang said, "Women in the world will be grateful to you for speaking up for them."

"Weiyuan Hou has been over-reputed, and I am ashamed to take it up." Wei Yizhi said, "I am just a vulgar man, and an unbearably vulgar man. I am not a woman. Before this, I never thought of speaking up for women. Instead, I I am glad that I was born a man, and I was born with the freedom and rights that women do not have."

"Monogamy was proposed by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also supports it. I will do this to repay Your Majesty's kindness. Without Your Majesty, there would be no Wei Yizhi today. I will go through fire and water for Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I will do my best."

When Wei Yizhi heard Fourteen propose monogamy, his first reaction was surprise. He never thought that one day he would hear someone propose such a law.Immediately afterwards, he anticipated the difficulty of implementing this law, and it is not an exaggeration to risk the disapproval of the world.

But now that the world is at peace, a thousand wastes are waiting to be revived, and the imperial power is unprecedentedly strong, it is the best time to implement the new law.Fourteenth in Zichen Palace had already made it clear when he proposed this law. If resistance was encountered during the implementation of the new law, and the three armies had just retreated from the battlefield, the blade would still be sharp.

……

Outside the Zichen Hall, the ministers knelt on the ground to petition—they were begging the emperor to take back their orders. Wives and concubines are ancient rituals. Violating the ancient system will only lead to disasters and will not benefit the country.

The door curtain was lifted, and Fuman came out from inside.

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that Zuo Qiuyue and Shisi were going to see them.

However, Fuman turned immediately after coming out, bypassed them and ran away.

"Eunuch Fuman, Eunuch Fuman!"

What responded to them was Fuman's back as if he had never heard of it.

"Eunuch Man, what should we do when we come back later?" The servant following Fuman worriedly said, "It seems that they don't intend to leave."

"Your Highness will support us when we come back, so what are you afraid of?" Fu Man was not worried at all. Those old men dared to stop him from leaving, but they definitely did not dare to offend His Highness.

"Be quick, your highness will be leaving school soon."

"Eh!"
